DATE LINE: HOWS THE WORLD DOING? 4/6/2015

thThis is a Christian victim of the radical Muslim attack in Kenya

Some months ago I make the statement that “The World Was Going To Hell In a Hand Basket” and I have heard that used since then by some of the pundits talking about the violence.

The big problem is I don’t think the Obama administration understands that or maybe in their view it isn’t. I heard today someone on the left saying well Nixon when and made a bold move with China by engaging them and that is what Obama is trying to do with Iran, just engage them and they will get better.  When I hear this kind of talk I know it is just a “Talking Head” without any expertize in the real world.

First when Nixon went to China he simply went and told them we want to be your trading partner. He wasn’t expecting any big changes from them. They already had the Nukes and they were happy to do business with us and they took our money and have used it to keep a billion people in bondage. I am not so sure if the normal Chinese person really thinks that was a great accomplishment.

The comparison with Nixon’s China bold move was like comparing apples to grapefruit when talking about Iran. The deal with Iran has them giving up nothing and in fact ensures they will at some point, and not as long as the talking heads in Washington are saying, have many Nuclear bombs. Any body that thinks Iran can be talked into giving up their terrorist and expansion activities are worst then naive for it they push this through the destruction that will come to the world, not just Israel, will be devastation.

The big thing that the American Administration won’t admit is that we are in a religious war, a war to the finish,  and that makes this terrorist violence different then any of the history of terrorism and how it was used. This is a  fight to finish and the radical leaders in Iran  believe that if they start a war to destroy Israel their theory of the 12th Imam will appear to help them win and set up the world wide Muslim Caliphate. They believe and live this out just a much as we who are Judeo/Christian believe in the return of our Messiah.

Well the rest of the world leaders understand this and are calling it for what it is, Obama still keeps his head in the sand refusing to accept facts and believing he is smarter then everyone else. The bible says “Pride come’s Then The Fall” in his case his fall could inflame the world.  Even with Muslim leaders speaking up warning of the same thing the administration keeps on its path.

Obama refused to call the Kenyan massacre an assault on Christians even though the attackers were Muslims and separated the Christians from the Muslims and killed the Christian. Kenyan authorities called it what it was, and said that one of the gun man was the son a government official who had been a student who had broken off contact with his family and disappeared. The Kenyan military is attacking Al Shabaab camps in retaliation and are calling on Muslim parents to get involved with their children to head off them being radicalized.

It is dangerous time we are in as we see the systematic attacks on Christians across the world in way that hasn’t been seen before. It is without question a battle between good and evil, for any religion which is really part of the living God will never use violence or force to get someone to believe. When some one talks to be about being part of something that used threats, force or other forms of intimidation and if I think it is valid, I tell them to run as fast as they can away from it. If something is really of God, He will never used force or violence and the one true Living God will only use love to get people to follow Him. If we don’t want to believe in the living God He says OK go your own way and see how it works.

We as a nation are at a cross road and I believe the time this world has left will depend on what we do in the next election. Some who believe in the Bible Prophecy about the end times and what happens to those who attack Israel say God has it handled so why worry or get involved. I believe I am suppose to occupy and work for good as long as I can and hopeful give the world more time for people to wake up.

There is a lot more to this issue and to much to cover now. My plea to you, no matter what your political background is, get involved research, learn ask questions and challenge your elected officials and look for those who understand the issues. No matter what political party they are with. Particular watch some of the key Muslim leaders such as President Sisi in Egypt and listen to the warning they are giving about the radical Muslims which has a growing percentage in the world.

More later. Be Safe;

thSaudi King unleashes air power on the Huthis

th

King Salman of Saudi Arabia.

Finally a country who draws a red line and means it and one who doesn’t take any option off the table, including ground forces. It is interesting to watch the conduct of the Saudis and how it contrasts with the administration in Washington. Saudi has a King and leaders with courage and a backbone and who understand that terrorist only respect force.

Di anyone notice how quick Iran was wanting to have talks with all sides even though they are the ones fueling and arming the Huthi’s who are Iran’s arm to destabilize Yemen with the goal of over throwing the government in Saudi.

Notice the difference in the response to Iran when they suddenly wanted to talk, from what Washington would have done. The Saudis and their group kept pounding the Huthis’s and ignored Iran for they knew it was only a stall. Washington is such amateur’s in foreign affairs that they would have stopped and been taken in by the Iranians.

One of the positives from the failures of the current administration and leading from behind is that now the Arab countries realize that they have to take the leadership role. But in the long term at what cost to the U.S. and its future direction in the world. Will that weakness expose us to more violence in the future?

It is apparently that President Sisi of Egypt is emerging as the as the no nonsense leader of the Arab world. It is also interesting to watch as he takes on the radicals and the Iman’s in Islam calling them for what they are. Violent Radical Terrorist. He is also reaching out with a message of tolerance to other religions and life styles and finally we might see a change start with this kind of leader in the Arab world.

I have watched in dis-may as the administration marches on as if Iran is a country who can be trusted and doesn’t meddle in the affairs of others as they march toward a Nuke deal with Iran, any deal that the Iranians want. The administration is empowering Iran at the expense of our friends not only Israel but the Gulf.

Actually now would be a good time for Israel to hit Iran and utilize are the planning done with the Gulf states as there are already 200 aircraft mobilized and in service hitting Yemen. Further with a ground swelling to at least 200,000 troops from Arabs countries ready to march through Yemen and eradicate the terrorist once and for all. And they will invade for they know that they can’t negotiate to a peace that will last and protect their borders.

Our administration reluctantly is supporting the Saudis with intelligence and possibility inflight refueling while at the same time assuring Iran we are really your friend and Allay. Just tell us what you want us to give to you so we can get this piece of paper which will ensure you get the bomb sooner then latter. Can our leaders really be this dumb? Or is it deeper then that? Do some research and draw your own conclusions. Some experts say why ISIS is growing so fast, and advancing even as we do some pin prick bombing, they are approaching this fight as the end time appolick battle and their ranks are growing. The faithful and naive young people of the world, not just Muslims, are joining ISIS because they see them winning and in big part due to the weakness they see in the U.S. action or non-action. This is like waving a red flag in front of a bull.

What can we do to help as individual Americans? We have a little more then 18 months left with this administration and we need to be working now to ensure that the next President is an experience American who loves His or Her country. They must understand how to lead and how to sue the power of America as a tool to prevent and fight when necessary those who would destroy us.

Do your home work get involved learn about the candidates, don’t first at their party but who they are as Americans and their stand on these important issues. More later.

Until next time be safe.

King Abduallah The time has come and King Abdullah has passed away and now what is the future for the Kingdom. I believe it will be stability.

Most in the West won’t understand how the swiftness of the the appointment of the new King, Crown Prince Muqrin and Prince Mohammad bin Nayef following him as King. This is just as King Abdullah planned so there were be stability and so his plans for modernization, woman’s rights, religious tolerance and a strong front to show Iran and the terrorist that they won’t gain a foot hold during this time.

 

thSome of the Alligance Council who confirmed King Salman and Crown Prince.

King Abdulalh was not a perfect leader, like all of us he was human, but he had great wisdom and for sight to realize that at this time in history stability was of utmost importance.  Normally selecting a new King could take some time and a lot of infighting for position, this time it was avoided by King Abdullah’s thinking ahead.

I have set and watched with bewilderment as the current administration in Washington  has given a free hand to Iran to move forward with full speed on their goal being a nuclear power and as well as a dominant force in the Gulf. It is very apparent that this administration doesn’t have any ‘Street Smarts” and they are being played like puppets by the masters in Iran. If someone figures out what their motive is please let me know.

We are approaching one of the most dangerous times in the Middle East as all the forces of evil work over time to take control. Now Iran is on the move with their control in Syria, Lebanon, growing in Iraq and now the take over in Yemen. They have surrounded Saudi Arabia and will now continue to tighten the noose around Saudi to attempt to foster unrest within and to work to an over throw of the House of Saud before ISIS does.

The area is fast approaching dooms day, the day Iran goes Nuclear which will mean the tipping of power in the Gulf and will lead to outright hostilities or the immediate advancement to the Gulf countries going Nuclear.  Dooms day could be pushed back by Israel and Saudi taking action, plans are on the table, to strike Iran and setting back their Nuclear ability. There is a lot of questions around the ability to totally take out their Nuclear program it is to spread out.

If I was setting where Israel and the Gulf countries are at I would not just look at taking out the Nuclear sites but also strike at the command and control centers of  both the Republican Guard and the Mullahs. This would give a chance for the true Iranian patriots in the military to rise up and take control and return the country to the Iranian people. This is the only way Israel and the Gulf will have long term security.

But as a world have we gone so for to the left and political correctness that necessary actions would not be taken even through we know that not to act is to destroy ourselves in long term. I don’t like the thought of war but Sometimes we have to act to prevent another holocaust and this time it wouldn’t be just the Jews.

Until next time be safe.

illegalsSaudi Arabia police rounding up illegal’s

Saudi Arabia keeps up its campaign against illegal foreign workers including violators of residency and labor regulations in its bid to clean up the labor market and find jobs for its unemployed citizens. Several months ago Saudi Arabia gave the several million illegal’s in the country time to turn themselves in and apply for legal status. Many of them did but several hundred thousand didn’t

How Saudi handled their illegal problem is a good case study for us to follow but I suspect those in Washington have other motives then closing our borders and protecting our citizens. Most Americans are for legal immigration, most of us have foreign roots, but not for the system that has been allowed to over run our country.

Like Saudi we need strong border controls and to have a work visa program which has security and controls in it and that would be the first step to getting our problem under control. Secondly we would then need to give a time frame for those in the country illegally to turn themselves in and apply for work status. Those that don’t would then over time be caught and deported and the following approach by Saudi is an example of how to do it.

Saudi continued their crackdown even during the high holy time of the new Hijri year when 1436, security officers in the Makkah region arrested 35,744 expats including those who have overstayed their Haj, Umrah and visit visas, said Lt. Col. Aati bin Atiyyah Al-Qurashi, spokesman of police in the region.

He said the illegal workers were transferred to the concerned authorities for punitive action. He warned citizens and residents against employing, sheltering and transporting illegal workers, saying they would face stiff punishment.

Police in Qassim said Tuesday that they have arrested 4,765 illegal workers during the past one month. “They belonged to different nationalities,” said Captain Badr Al-Suhaibani, spokesman of police in the region. He said the largest number of illegal workers were netted in Buraidah, followed by Al-Rass and Unaizah, adding that the arrests were carried out with the support of field forces, highway police and patrols. ( Note the combined police forces)

Al-Suhaibani said security forces would continue their efforts to track down the remaining illegal workers in the region and punish them in accordance with the law.

In Baha, security forces nabbed 1,371 illegal workers, said police spokesman Col. Saad Saleh Tarad, adding that they included 502 people without identity proofs and 573 without resident permits.
He said 43 people were overstaying their visas, 202 have not renewed their resident permits and five of them have run away from sponsors. “About 15 expats were held for working for companies and individuals other than their sponsors while 27 were working on their own account,” Col. Tarad said.

“We have handed these illegal workers to the concerned authorities to take punitive action,” he said. Col. Tarad urged citizens to cooperate with security forces to drive out expats who violate the country’s rules and regulations. (Yes they take breaking their immigration laws seriously)

In a previous statement, Labor Minister Adel Fakeih said the Kingdom would not allow illegal foreign workers to stay in the Kingdom at any cost. “We’ll intensify the ongoing campaign to drive out all illegal workers,” he added.

He said there is no justification for keeping violators of the Kingdom’s laws inside the country. “Only those people who respect and abide by the country’s laws and system can stay,” he added.

Fakeih downplayed the impact of the government’s campaign against illegal workers on businesses. “We are determined to clean up the labor market and will not allow violators to work in the country for any reason,” he maintained.

The nay Sayers in our country who say the problem is too big to do anything about are misleading the public and Saudi is proof of what can happen if there is a political will and the concern for the rule of law.

I suspect here it will take the citizens to rise up and clean house in Washington before anything will happen and would include politicians on both sides of the isle. Lets hope it happens before it is to late.

Until next time Be Safe.

DATE LINE QATAR & EGYPT: 12/20/2014

2014-635547066455606625-560Saudi & Qatar representatives meet with General EL-SiSi Of Egypt

Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah keeps up His Leadership role in bringing together the Gulf States and Egypt as there security is all tied together. King Abdullah has become convinced with the past actions of the American Administration that they will be on there own if under attack. He is also concerned that the West will crave in to the demands of Iran and that Iran will wound up with a nuclear bomb and that as Iran’s neighbor they will be targets.

King Abdulalh is taking many actions to slow down and stop Iran from getting the bomb. One of the steps is the drop in oil prices which is hitting Iran and Russia very hard and is going to get worse. Some see the possibility of the price dropping to as low as $20 a barrel and what ever happens this is going to be a long term problem. It won’t be solved in a few weeks or months.

Another step that the King has taken is increasing ties with Israel and doing preparations for a joint strike on Iran if needed. They know that they won’t be able to depend on the U.S. at least with the current administration.

Another  step is to bring Qatar and Egypt back together by setting up a meeting between President El-Sisi and Qatari and Saudi representative and it has reportedly resulted in positive steps towards reconciliation between the Qatari and Egyptian governments, according to a statement released by Saudi Arabia.

On Saturday El-Sisi met with special envoys from the king of Saudi Arabia and the emir of Qatar in Cairo, as a part of the Saudi Arabian initiative to reduce tensions between Egypt and Qatar.

A statement released by the Saudi palace on Saturday evening said that both countries “had accepted the Saudi initiative, understanding that it is in the interest of the two countries and their peoples,” and had agreed to “cease doing things which create rifts between the two country.”

“Saudi Arabia values the steps taken by the two countries which will strengthen the relationships between Egypt and Qatar, one of which is today’s visit of the special envoy of the emir of Qatar.”

The relationship between the two states has been strained since the 2013 ouster of Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi, who had been backed by Qatar.

The Qatari statement added that the Emir of Qatar had initiated the Saturday meeting, sending his special envoy to meet with the Egyptian president, who received him very generously. The Amir said that they stand by the brotherly Arab republic of Egypt and that Qatar’s security is connected to Egypt’s security.

“Qatar, which cares about Egypt’s leading role in the Arab and Islamic world, seeks strong bilateral relations and mutual efforts to develop Egypt which will be in the interest of the peoples of both countries,” the statement concluded.

They discussed an agreement signed at a conference in Riyadh in November which obliges all Gulf Cooperation Council countries to support Egypt and work to enhance its security and stability.

A spokesman for El-Sisi said that Egypt is looking forwards to a new era beyond the disagreements of the past to keep up with the current critical phase which Arabs are experiencing.

El-Sisi called onto all media persons and thinkers to collaborate within the reconciliation initiative to make progress in Egyptian-Qatari relations.

As we duck making hard decisions on preventing attacks, such as taking the lone wolf problem seriously, on us the Europeans and Saudi are taking preventive steps and preparing for offensive actions if needed.

Getting knowledge is the answer for all of us to become part of the solution in our country.

Until next time Be Safe.
