Obama told ISIS in advance that he was going to launch airstrikes in Syria. Was that a mistake?

Posted on September 25, 2014 by DRenegade

(Joe Posner)

Unsurprisingly, it looks like ISIS took advantage of the advance warning in Obama’s speech. US warplanes bombed a number of targets in Raqqa, the sole Syrian province that ISIS controls in full, which ISIS seems to have been ready for. The Wall Street Journal’s Maria Abi-Habib, citing testimony from Raqqa residents, reported that ISIS “had also been preparing for the airstrikes, moving its top leadership and most sophisticated weapons from Raqqa.”

To make matters worse, airstrikes are comparatively easy to prepare for. The US can’t hit ISIS targets in densely populated areas without risking significant loss of civilian life, which would be moral and strategic disaster. Moving advanced weaponry and infantry units into cities and towns is an easy way to stay the US’s hand.

ISIS also could use the advance warning to, simply enough, make it hard for the US to find them. American airstrikes depend on good intelligence: one of the core reasons it took Obama months to escalate against ISIS in Iraq after the group’s shocking Iraq victories in June is that the US didn’t have good enough intelligence on ISIS positions to hit them accurately. Obama’s speech may well have given ISIS what it needed to survive this first round of bombing in a way that reduced their actual damage.

The pResident’s policy to bomb the military targets at night to minimize terrorist casualties should be the clue about what this “war” is really about. The fall of Falluja was last December: almost one year. Never let a crisis go to waste. Especially in an election year.

“Time is of the essence”: Why it is critical you understand the threat posed by ISIS before it is too late

Posted on September 24, 2014 by DRenegade

There is a growing evil in the Middle East, as ISIS continues to expand their campaign of terror in Syria, Iraq, and beyond. People are dying and the threat to America is very real, and yet the larger population is just now starting to wake up to the possibility of a jihadist caliphate. Jay Sekulow joined Glenn to discuss the history of ISIS that no one knows, and the scary tactics they are using to spread their radical ideology across the region.

NCRenegade Is the American Version of ISIS

Posted on September 24, 2014 by DRenegade

Another Figueroa of Management’s imagination:

Ed compares local extremists to ISIS

 

The local blogger listed above is me. The only organization that has tagged me as a hate group (or individual) is the Southern Poverty Law Center. I have infiltrated the local sheriff’s department? I wonder what other ill informed organizations are that I have supposedly infiltrated?

As for advocating revolution, against whom? The people? But then supporting the rule of law and the Constitution are strange concepts to most looters.

What is the United States? It is not a republic as it follows no semblence of its Constitution, the very foundation of its power, of its authority. It is a system of terror, with the power to destroy lives with contrived charges; offhandedly encumbering citizens with debt and criminal charges on a whim. This is the very system our forefather’s fled and risked everything to resist. In effect, they have taken our citizenship, robbed us of our birthright.

Yet, we do not fight.

Freedom? They watch us as if we are all suspects. Cameras are everywhere; software tracks us; our new vehicles and cell phones will tell them where we are at any given moment. Our writings are recorded and available as evidence against us though no charges have been filed. The result of these intrusions into our lives will become the evidence upon which they will seek a warrant. That cannot be more backward from the intent of the Constitution.

Yet, we do not fight.

Phantom Voter Project

Posted on September 23, 2014 by DRenegade

Please click on image to search your own address for phantom voters.

Glen Englram was stunned. After winding down his private sector career, almost four years ago, he and his wife, Ruth, bought their Western North Carolina retirement home and began the next phase of their lives. But they briefly thought they were back in Chicago when they learned that three unknown persons were registered to vote from their address, more than three years after the couple had signed their mortgage and moved into their new home.

Glen and Ruth learned of the three “phantom voters” at their address after the Voter Integrity Project – NC demonstrated their newest search tool, called the Phantom Voter Project. and located at, www.PhantomVotes.org.

“We developed the site to empower citizens by helping them identify long-lost voters who are still registered from addresses at which they no longer live,” said Jay DeLancy, Director of the Voter Integrity Project.. “Once a phantom voter is found, the site will even auto-generate the paperwork that the Election Board needs for their removal.”

In early July, VIP-NC reported finding 739,041 registered North Carolina voters whom the state can no longer find.

“The Phantom Voter Project not only helps people find such former occupants, years after they move away,” said DeLancy, “but it also helps current occupants detect any voters who were fictionally registered,and never removed.”

Ebola virus: Western Australia patient tested

Posted on September 22, 2014 by DRenegade

Ebola

UPDATE: Woman with Ebola-like symptoms being tested at Perth hospital

A woman with Ebola-like symptoms is being tested for the virus at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth.

It is understood the African national in her 60s had recently visited West Africa for a conference.

She was originally in Royal Perth Hospital before being transferred overnight to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital by ambulance with two paramedics wearing protective gear.

A spokesperson for the hospital said she had been placed into an isolation ward.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A patient is being tested for the deadly Ebola virus in a Western Australian hospital, a spokeswoman for Perth’s Sir Charles Gardiner Hospital confirmed in a statement on Tuesday.

“The hospital can confirm it has one patient who is currently being tested for Ebola and appropriate precautions are being taken until the patient’s illness is diagnosed.”

The spokeswoman said she could not give any more details about the patient for privacy reasons.

She said WA was working closely with other states and the federal government to ensure a coordinated approach to tackle the Ebola threat.

“At present, the risk of people with Ebola virus disease travelling to Australia is considered to be very low,” she said.

“Even if travellers from west Africa did develop Ebola virus disease after arrival in WA, or elsewhere in Australia, our standard of care and infection control is such that once the disease was diagnosed there would be a very low risk of transmission to other persons.”

California Or Ethiopia? “Families Dream Every Night About Water”

Posted on September 22, 2014 by DRenegade

It’s worst and getting worst-er. Hundreds of domestic wells in California’s drought-parched Central Valley farming region have run dry, according to AP, leaving many residents to rely on donated bottles of drinking water to get by. With government set to regulate deeper drilling, hope is plunging that a solution to California’s drought will come anytime soon as groundwater levels plunge. The stories of struggle are simply stunning, especially given they are coming from America with Governor Brown signing an executive order that provides money to buy drinking water for residents statewide whose wells have dried up. “We need water like we need air,” exclaimed one charity leader trying to raise money for water tanks, “Families every night dream about water,” said another. And ripped from the famine-headlines of East Africa, “every day [Californians] thinking about how they’re going to deal with water.”

Intelligence Requirements: Ebola

by Sam Culper

A friend and I started talking about Ebola and intelligence requirements, so we have some intelligence requirements for everyone.  Let’s crowdsource some OSINT gathering.  I’ll give away a free course through the Culper Institute($49-$99 value) and a Digital Subscription to Forward Observer Magazine ($24 value) to the Most Valuable Collector.  To qualify, you must EMAIL ME your intelligence information [culper (at) hushmail dot com] in paragraph format.  At the end of each paragraph, you must provide the source of the information along with which PIR/IR it answers.  For instance:

1. The average death rate of Ebola in the past ten years is X%, from cases in Libera, Sierra Leone, etc.  (Source: Wikipedia.org/ebolaxxxxxxx) (IR#2)

2. The airport with the greatest volume of flights from Ebola-affilicated nations is La Guardia Int’l Airport in New York.  (FAA.gov/xxxxx)  (PIR#1, IR#1)

We Don’t Need an Article V Convention to “Clarify” Our Constitution!

Posted on September 22, 2014 by DRenegade

by Publius Huldah

Those pushing for the so-called “convention of states” 1 say we must amend the Constitution because the people in Washington “don’t understand it”.

Rubbish!

Our Constitution is so simple that Alexander Hamilton expected us to be “enlightened enough to distinguish between a legal exercise and an illegal usurpation of authority”; and he said the people are “the natural guardians of the Constitution” (Federalist No. 16, next to last para).

Well then, if our Constitution is something The People are expected to know and enforce; is it plausible to assert that the Representatives we send to Washington – and even supreme Court Justices – are incapable of understanding it?

Justices on the supreme Court have been perverting our Constitution for a long time. Do they do this because they are so stupid they don’t understand our Constitution? Of course not! They violate our Constitution because they claim the right to impose their own personal views on the rest of us.

As every American over the age of 10 should know, the powers our federal Constitution delegates to Congress and the President are limited & defined – they are “enumerated”.

The American People Support the pResident’s Plan for ISIS; Whatever It Will Be

Posted on September 22, 2014 by DRenegade

I did not serve in the military. I pray that I will never be placed in the role of “politician”. I do know that we are not getting all of the facts in Syria and Iraq. Which then makes the story below just another example of people being led by propaganda. I “hear” that Obama is ignoring the recommendations of his military leadership. And I mean his handpicked military leadership.

So we have a child making decisions in a war in which he has religious sympathies, no experience and Chris Stevens’ blood on his hands. If I had no military experience, I would rely on advisers’ experience to make decisions if I was a politician. Our children who are sent to fight these “wars” deserve no less.

But according to the polls, 62% of the people support him. And his actions. Whatever these actions are or will be. Which is how this fool got elected in the first place.

Juan Williams: Obama’s October Surprise

Last week a Fox News poll identified a phenomenon that my friend, pollster Dana Blanton, dubbed “The ISIS effect.”

“Equal numbers of voters now say terrorism is the most important issue to their vote as say the economy – 41 percent say each will be ‘extremely’ important in their decision,” Blanton wrote. She later noted “four years ago [in the 2010 midterms dominated by Republicans], 57 percent said the economy would be ‘extremely’ important while 41 percent said terrorism.”

Initially political fall-out from the murders of two Americans and one British citizen, all beheaded by ISIS, seemed to be another drag on President Obama’s already mediocre approval rating. The president was heavily criticized for failing to take the fight to ISIS before their barbaric acts and then for the lack of a clear strategy to defeat them.

But in the last week polls show public opinion shifting in the president’s favor.

A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll reported 62 percent of voters supported “the decision President Obama made when it comes to taking action against ISIS in Iraq and Syria.”

Hillary Clinton, Saul Alinsky correspondence revealed

Posted on September 21, 2014 by DRenegade

Lee Balterman / The LIFE Picture Collection / Getty Images

Previously unpublished correspondence between Hillary Clinton and the late left-wing organizer Saul Alinsky reveal new details about her relationship with the controversial Chicago activist and shed light on her early ideological development.

Clinton met with Alinsky several times in 1968 while writing a Wellesley college thesis about his theory of community organizing.

Clinton’s relationship with Alinsky, and her support for his philosophy, continued for several years after she entered Yale law school in 1969, two letters obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show.

The letters obtained by the Free Beacon are part of the archives for the Industrial Areas Foundation, a training center for community organizers founded by Alinsky, which are housed at the University of Texas at Austin.

The letters also suggest that Alinsky, who died in 1972, had a deeper influence on Clinton’s early political views than previously known. Continue reading →

Sierra Leone’s Ebola lockdown likely to be extended; testing reveals dozens of new cases

Posted on September 21, 2014 by DRenegade

A three-day lockdown in Sierra Leone aimed at stemming the worst Ebola epidemic on record has identified dozens of new infections, but has not reached everyone in the country and is likely to be extended, a senior official said on Sunday.

In one of the most extreme strategies employed since the epidemic began, Sierra Leone ordered its 6 million residents to stay indoors as volunteers circulated to educate households as well as isolate the sick and remove the dead.

“There is a very strong possibility it will be extended,” Stephen Gaojia, head of the Emergency Operations Centre that leads the national Ebola response, told Reuters after meeting with President Ernest Bai Koroma.

“Even though the exercise has been a huge success so far, it has not been concluded in some metropolitan cities like Freetown and Kenema.”

Gaojia said 92 bodies had been recovered across the country by the end of Saturday, the second day of the lockdown.
