There Is A Health Threat From The Illegals
Jul 15, 2014 Immigration
I know there are folks who think that the diseases entering the nation via the illegal aliens are no big deal and that we have diseases all across the country so it should not matter but it does matter.
Regions of the world have different disease profiles and many developed nations have eradicated or largely controlled many of the diseases common in other places. When illegals enter this nation or any nation in mass the potential for an epidemic increases and this is particularly true when large groups of people are housed in close quarters and receive little or no medical evaluation before they are secreted to other areas.
It is easy to dismiss someone who writes about it on a blog because regardless of his experience he is not there. But many doctors and nurses are there and they are reporting that there is a huge influx of diseases that could result in outbreaks of those that are currently well controlled.
Dr. Elaina George reports that there is a large incidence of TB in those coming in and many folks who are not showing symptoms are infected and contagious. Drug resistant TB is a major issue and carriers could be moving about the nation infecting those with whom they come in contact. Public transportation, schools, and households that take in the illegals are all at risk for an outbreak.
There are plenty of other diseases that will spike as a result of the invasion and they will have a huge impact on our health and our economy.
The costs of treating a TB outbreak alone would be staggering and the toll on the health of our citizens will be great.
Consider huge numbers of school children infected with TB, lice, scabies and how that would affect communities. Consider still, diseases that affect those in our country who are immunocompromised or have yet to be vaccinated. These populations could see a spike in mortality.
This whole mess is the result of failed leadership in Washington. The failure has been occurring for decades and involves both political parties. The current crisis falls squarely on Obama but the issue has been festering under many politicians who have refused to enforce our laws.
How many people need to become ill before the nation responds in mass and the so called leaders get off their ample rear ends and do the right thing?
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.
We Are Losing Territory In The Invasion From The South
Jun 17, 2010 Political
About 3500 acres of Arizona have been declared off limits to US citizens because of ongoing violence from illegal entry into our country by drug smugglers, The area is also a path into the US for illegals who sneak in. Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said that the violence is out of control as law enforcement officers and citizens are attacked by the invaders.
The border is the responsibility of the federal government and the feds are failing miserably in their duties.
Arizona called for 3000 national guard troops to be deployed and the regime responded with 1200. As federalized military, the soldiers will not be allowed to perform law enforcement duties and there is question as to whether they will even have weapons.
We are giving away our territory by allowing the illegal thugs to cross into our country unabated. Instead of any meaningful action Obama spends his time assuring Mexican President Calderon that the guardsmen will not cause problems for poor little Mexicans looking for a better way of life.
Why are these troops federalized? The National Guard belongs to the governors of each state until called to active duty by the president. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer should stop waiting for the federal government to do its duty and call her guardsmen to duty and give them the responsibility of securing the border. She should send soldiers to the border area where the problems exist, arm them to the teeth and give them instructions to keep the invaders out of her state. Of course Obama could call them all to active duty (as Eisenhower did in Arkansas) to keep her from using them but this would be a risky move that would show where his allegiances actually lie.
We cannot allow the criminals from Mexico to dictate where we are and are not allowed to travel in our country and this is exactly what is happening as Obama dithers.
Brewer needs to declare a state of emergency and call her heavily armed guard to duty to defend our country against the invaders. They can post notices that anyone trespassing will be shot on sight and then start taking out the invaders. It will not be long before they stop crossing because they will either decide it is too dangerous or they will all be dead.
Either way is OK with me.
And so it should be with Governor Brewer and the state of Arizona.
Never surrender, never submit.

The Coward of the Country
Sep 17, 2009 Political
Where are the spirits of Gary Cooper, John Wayne, and Jimmy Stewart? Rolling in their graves so fast that you could probably use them as an alternative energy. The spirit of goodness and the obligation to fight evil, and help the underdogs in this world, nations that have been attacked and subjugated by totalitarian regimes, is now dead in the halls of government.
Our nation is now officially a coward, led by our sissy in chief Barry Nobama and his wussy posse. The commitment to the smaller countries of Eastern Europe for a missile shield to protect them from the missiles of Iran has now been cancelled by our Coward in Chief, caving in to the Russian A**wipe Putin and his Mafiya pals in the Kremlin.
The fact that Russia wants these satellite countries back under Russian control is well documented- the Russians feel it is their “Historic Right” to have these countries as theirs- Estonia, Poland, Ukraine, Georgia, and others all have become independent after Communism fell in the 90s. All of these countries like their independence, but instead of standing up for freedom, Barry is giving the Russians free rein to take them back, and the missile defense would have made taking these countries a little harder. Now, it is child’s play, and Barry doesn’t have the testicular fortitude to do anything about it.
This is bad news for all who care about the US commitment to the transatlantic alliance and the defence of Europe as well as the United States. It represents the appalling appeasement of Russian aggression and a willingness to sacrifice American allies on the altar of political expediency. A deal with the Russians to cancel missile defence installations sends a clear message that even Washington can be intimidated by the Russian bear.
blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news
What we have in office now is a man, (and I use that term very loosely), who does not like confrontation, is scared, and very much out of his depth; a man who has believed that the sound of his voice alone could soothe the Russian Bear, when there was no evidence that this was the case. A man who has always had others to do the confrontations for him, so he never had to actually screw his courage to the sticking point and take a stand. Bluntly put- he doesn’t know how.
Barack Obama has abandoned the controversial Pentagon plan to build a missile defence system in Europe. The move has prompted angry accusations of betrayal from Washington’s eastern European allies but delighted the Kremlin.
In one of the sharpest breaks yet with the policies of the Bush administration, Obama phoned the leaders of Poland and the Czech Republic last night to tell them that he had dropped plans to site missile interceptors and a radar station in their respective countries. Russia had furiously opposed the project, claiming it targeted Moscow’s nuclear arsenal.
Obama is to announce the reversal officially at a news conference today. This morning the Czech prime minister, Jan Fischer, revealed that Obama phoned him about it last night.
During a visit to Moscow in July the US president indicated he was ordering a 60-day review of the contentious plan. According to today’s Wall Street Journal, the findings, to be released next week, conclude that Iran’s long-range missile programme is progressing more slowly than previously thought. Citing US officials, the paper says the White House believes Iran’s short and medium-range programme poses a more potent and immediate danger.

You see, Barry just doesn’t get it- it was always about more, much more than just Iran- although they were a threat, undoubtedly.
The true threat was Russia, and continues to be so. President Bush knew this, and the invasion of Georgia peeled the curtain back on Russian intentions enough that a person has to be intellectually brain- dead not to see this as a threat that we will not be able to counter effectively, without these missiles.
Plainly put, these missiles would have been a deterrent, and possibly could buy these smaller countries some time to begin to fight back, hopefully with the rest of the free world helping out, although that aspect is no longer as sure as it once was.
Alexandr Vondra – a former Czech deputy prime minister and ambassador to Washington intimately involved in the negotiations with the Americans – said he was surprised. “This is a U-turn in US policy,” he said. “But first we expect the US to honour its commitments. If they don’t they may have problems generating support for Afghanistan and on other things.”
Under the Bush administration the Pentagon spent years planning and negotiating to place 10 silos with interceptor rockets in northern Poland and to build a large radar station south of Prague to defend against a perceived ballistic missile threat from Iran.
The central European countries were keen to acquire the US installations and other military hardware as partial security guarantees against a resurgent Russia. Moscow claimed the project was aimed against Russia and threatened to deploy short-range nuclear weaponsin the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, which sits inside the European Union.
Obama’s climbdown is likely to be seen by Russia as a victory for its uncompromising stance.
guardian.co.uk
Barry has no clue, no stones, and he is about to give away the entire area of Eastern Europe, for starters. And make no mistake, it will be just the beginning– Will Germany, or France, for God’s sake be able to do much of anything but retreat- something they have always been very good at?
And what about Britain, Ireland and Scotland? Why would Russia stop there? If you look at the historical records of Russia, even back to the Tsars (now there’s an inconvenient word) the Russians have always had world domination at the top of their list- only people ignorant of history could ignore the greater implications of Barry’s cowardice.
The decision strengthens Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian president, who is due to make his first presidential trip to the US next week for the G20 meeting in Pittsburgh. The Obama administration has been keen to boost Medvedev’s standing and authority at home, seeing him as a more moderate and less hostile interlocutor than Putin.
Today the Nato secretary general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, said Obama’s decision was “a positive step”. Rasmussen said he had been briefed by the US envoy to Nato about it.
But the timing of the announcement is regarded as disastrous by the Poles. Eugeniusz Smolar, a former chief of Warsaw’s Centre for International Relations, said: “We are disappointed.” But he added that the Polish government had been assured by the Americans that promises of training with Patriot missile batteries and help in modernising the Polish military remained valid.
A few weeks ago, in a cri de coeur to Washington, several senior eastern European officials and public figures wrote a public letter to Obama complaining that their security interests were being ignored by the west in order to improve relations with Moscow.

You may note that my reference material is from the United Kingdom- as an island, they are a bit twitchy about perceived threats, and this qualifies as a valid and fairly immediate threat. I can predict that the seizing of countries will begin soon- the pretexts are being put into place now, and when it happens, we will do nothing. I would say that Germany and France deserve it for consistently trying to foil us at every turn, but Spain, Portugal, and the U.K. do not deserve the possible invasion by a usurper nation- they have been our friends, but we will allow this to happen-
Because we will have our hands full with China by that time.
But that’s another post.

D-Day
Jun 6, 2009 Political
I grew up hearing about D-Day. This was because, while my father was too young to join the Armed Forces, my Uncle Roger had joined the Army Air Corps in 1942, as soon as he could. He got his flight training at Randolph Air Base, in San Antonio, which was a relief for my grandparents, as they lived in San Antonio then. They were able to see Uncle Roger up until the time he was shipped overseas to England in 1943 for deployment with a bomber detachment.
He was trained to fly the B-17, not a glamorous single engagement fighter plane like the P-38, or the Mustang, or any of the others, British or American. The B-17 was a bomber and/ or a troop carrier, loaded either with armaments or paratroops. At the time, there were not any paratroops to send, so he went on bombing runs. Little did he know he was helping set the stage for what was coming, softening up the French targets the Nazis had taken over.
On the fifth of June, 1944, in the early evening, he took off with the rest of his squadron for the first run, a bombing run. Of course, he and his squadron were met with stiff resistance, and they lost several planes, but he returned, albeit with a few holes, and was promptly gassed up and turned around, this time with a stick, or squad, of paratroopers that he and several others would drop on preselected targets. They were mixed in with bombers, and a few fighters, so as to camouflage their intent. Once again, they were met with stiff opposition, but he dropped his troops where he was supposed to and began his return flight to the base.
By this time, the morning was fast approaching, and he was gassed up and sent on a bombing run, his third of the night. As he crossed the English Channel, he could now see what the night had obscured- the largest armada ever assembled for an invasion. He later told me his heart was in his throat, and after seeing the newsreels of that time, I understand some of his emotion. I will never be able to understand the totality of his feelings, though. No one who was not there will ever be able to come close to knowing the depth of these emotions.
My uncle flew four runs across the English Channel that night and the next day in support of the brave men on the ground, and despite losing many of his friends on those runs, he was able to come home safe and physically unscarred, although I can say without a doubt that he felt deep emotion for the men he lost, all good friends, and those also who were able to come home.
For the next fifty years, he would go to the annual reunions that his squadron would have, generally near an Air Museum that would house “their” aircraft and those of that era. There they would reminisce about the past that they were a part of- both the bad and the good. They would salute those who didn’t make it home, and those who did but were, for one reason or another, unable to attend.
And they would end every gathering with a fervent prayer that this “world at war” would never happen again, because they knew, better than anyone who just casually read about this, just how horrendous war could be.
My uncle died last year- he was 84 years old, and he had lived a full life, a good life. He never regretted joining the Army Air Corps, he just regretted the loss of people he cared for.
Our “Greatest Generation” is passing away at the rate of about a thousand people a day, and this is doubly sad, as these people are family and friends, and also because as these people die, the lesson of this horrible war will, unfortunately begin to fade into obscurity, as all wars seem to- otherwise we would not keep repeating the same mistakes.
We should honor their memories by never forgetting how members of our families were a part of this struggle. Whether they were a part of D-Day, or they fought in Italy, or the Pacific theater, we need to honor them every day.
Because without them, our future might have been very, very different. And not in a good way.
God Bless Our Troops, Past, Present, and Future.
