BUBBA, PANETTA DUMP ON OBAMA...!
The effort by Hillary Clinton and her team to pin blame exclusively on President Obama for the rise of a huge Islamist army in Iraq and Syria kicked into high gear this weekend. Obama heads to New York this week to try to piece together some kind of coalitionto fight ISIS but honor some version of his promises to his base about the conflict. Even if it means teaming up with Iran. In the midst of the dire chapter for Obama’s foreign policy, we hear from former President Bill Clinton, who told CNN, “I supported two years ago the proposal that Hillary and Secretary Panetta and then CIA director, General Petraeus, made to give more robust armed support to the Syrians.” The former president told CNN that “it was an argument she lost within the administration.” Panetta, a longtime Clinton insider, made clear that he was ready to burn Obama in an interview with 60 Minutes,” saying, “And I think in part, we pay the price for not doing that in what we see happening with ISIS.”
[Where we started – The effort to single out Obama for blame began with the 2016 Democratic frontrunner herself, starting with her memoir and an interview with The Atlantic.]
Dear Saul - Washington Free Beacon: “Previously unpublished correspondence between 2016 Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton and the late left-wing organizer Saul Alinsky reveal new details about her relationship with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...The letters also suggest that Alinsky, who died in 1972, had a deeper influence on Clinton’s early political views than previously known… Clinton devoted just one paragraph in her memoir Living History to Alinsky, writing that she rejected a job offer from him in 1969 in favor of going to law school. She wrote that she wanted to follow a more conventional path. However, in the 1971 letter, Clinton assured Alinsky that she had ‘survived law school, slightly bruised, with my belief in and zest for organizing intact.’…The letters obtained by the Free Beacon suggest that Clinton experimented more with radical politics during her law school years than she has publicly acknowledged.”

Youths abducted off buses and forced into narco recruitment Posted: 20 Sep 2014 10:09 AM PDT Borderland Beat In broad daylight and while a bus driver was changing a tire on the busy stretch known as the "Y" in San Fernando, Tamaulipas, gunmen entered the bus and took six young men. Cartel commandos are recruiting, forcibly and with impunity, abducting young passengers on highways in Tamaulipas, despite the federal surveillance in the state. A witness described Thursday an experience he lived that through about three weeks ago. "We left around 17:00 hours in a Transpaís bus”, related the man, who requested anonymity. "We had left Victoria (towards Matamoros), but stopped because one of the wheels became disabled, and the bus slid off the road." While the driver exited the bus change the tire, said the witness, the driver of a late model truck, came and offered help in a friendly manner, but was told help was not needed. About 5 or 10 minutes passed, and the man returned in the truck, but now was accompanied by two pickups and at least 10 armed men in plain clothes. On the bus the witness estimated there were about 20 passengers, mostly men. "Two armed men boarded the bus and asked six male youths to get off the bus. Women were ordered to stay in their places and that failure to obey would result in consequences, so they all stayed in their seats.” “The youths who were taken off the truck obeyed orders and did not resist”, he described. "Through the window, I was able to see that the boy’s faces were covered with their own shirts, the commando put them into separate groups and then they shoved them into the trucks.” he said. Overall, the intrusion of the commando, who was unknown, lasted only about 10 minutes. Immediately, he added, the bus operator, who had no interaction with criminals, finished changing the tire and the truck kept going. "Nobody said anything," he said.

Obama to Mexico: The 'Tlatlaya 22" killings must have a credible investigation Posted: 19 Sep 2014 10:44 PM PDT Update: "After President Barack Obama urged President Enrique Peña Nieto to conduct a investigation into the shooting of 22 at the hands of the military, the Department of Defense and the PGR said they are willing to heed the call, to investigate the incident. In separate statements issued simultaneously, both agencies stated "with full respect for the rights of the people" we have begun "a complete and thorough investigation to get to the truth" of what happened on Monday, June 30 at Pedro Limón community in the municipality of Tlatlaya in the state of Mexico. However, the Ministry of National Defense (Department of Defense), reiterated that the death of 22 young was due to military personnel repelling an armed attack." The U.S. State Department urged Mexico to investigate the Tlatlaya case, saying it is "imperative that there is a credible review of the circumstances." Mexican Interior Secretary Miguel Angel Osorio Chong said federal prosecutors would investigate the shootings and make the results public if it finds any contradictions in the army's version of events. (is anyone relieved?) The army has said soldiers came under fire from a gang of armed men at an abandoned grain warehouse and the troops returned fire in self-defense, killing 22 people and rescuing three kidnap victims unharmed. However, the mother of the only female killed said she witnessed the June 30 incident and only one of the gunmen died in a brief, initial battle with soldiers. She said the 20 other men and her daughter were killed after they surrendered. Human Rights Commission investigator Marat Paredes Montiel said commission staff had talked with the mother almost two months ago and were investigating the case to see what really happened. "We have recently been given access to the case file and the autopsies," Paredes Montiel said. "We are analyzing this data." The governmental agency has the power to issue recommendations that government entities have to either obey, or explain publicly why they won't. On Friday, U.S. State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke, speaking to reporters in Washington, said that "we have seen these most recent reports and we've been following this case since June." "We have encouraged the government of Mexico to investigate and we understand that several Mexican entities are investigating this incident," Rathke said. "But as in all cases where security forces use lethal force, we think it's imperative that there is a credible review of the circumstances undertaken in response to them and the appropriate civilian authorities should conduct those investigations." In an interview with Radio Formula, Osorio Chong, Mexico's top security official, said the federal Attorney General's Office was leading the investigation. "Anything that needs to be made known, if something happened that differs from the version we have, will of course be made public," Osorio Chong said. Later Friday, the Attorney General's Office said in a statement that from the beginning it assigned a team of experts to conduct a thorough investigation. "It is our responsibility to clarify with precision whether the acts (of the soldiers) were carried out according to the law and with absolute respect to human rights," it said. (Translation: The world is paying attention, we need a finding/determination the soldiers acted within lawful boundaries, and did not slaughter disarmed teens that were in surrender stance) The comments came after an Associated Press story quoted the mother telling about witnessing the bloodshed and saying soldiers fatally shoot her 15-year-old daughter even though the girl was lying wounded on the ground. The army's version came into question because government troops suffered only one wounded, and physical evidence at the scene pointed toward more selective killings. The witness, who asked to be quoted by name for fear of reprisals, said soldiers interrogated the men after they surrendered in front of the warehouse and then took them inside one-by-one. From where she stood just outside the warehouse and in army custody, she heard gunshots and moans of the dying. Source: AP |

The caller reported hearing the detonation of a firearm coming from the home of Gomez Martinez. Elements of the Federal Police and an ambulance arrived at the home and discovered the lifeless body of a man identified with the name Achilles Gomez Martinez. According to the first report the body was found with a gunshot wound in the mouth. Suicide is expected but not yet confirmed by confirmed by the federal agency. More than 50 elements cordoned off the area. The Mexican Navy along with the federal agency of the attorney general, PGR, have begun the investigation, and also will attempt to positively identify the man. However, some reports indicate that a gunshot residue test was conducted on the dead mans hands and was positive. The body was sent to Semefo. |

INTERESTING STATS
This is 2 storiesAn impressive new suspension bridge - inserted - some statistics on China's growing economic powerhttp://funstuffpeoplesendme.wordpress.com/2014/01/15/china-opens-record-breaking-4000-ft-long-bridge%E2%80%8F/
China opens record breaking 4,000 ft long bridge.If you are not interested in bridges just skip to the end and start reading where the # begin.This information will SHOCK YOU!!!Aizhai Bridge in Hunan province is 336 m (1,102 ft.) high and has a 1,176 m (3,858 ft.) span. It connects two traffic tunnels in the mountains, cutting the time needed to traverse the canyon from 30 minutes to 1 minute. Construction took five years. Work finished at the end of last year, making it the world's longest and highest suspension bridge.Note that the person below is 1102 feet above the ground and is sweeping the dirt off this twenty first century Engineering marvel with a broom that was designed centuries ago and has no safety line.
A brave worker put the final touches on the Anzhaite Bridge .
Blasting and coating this steel superstructure in a couple of decades will
be an interesting project.
Pedestrians walk along it on a special walkway under the road.
The bridge, which connects to two tunnels, was built to ease traffic.

Chinese Supremacy
This article, though aimed at a US audience, gives a scary insight into
China's growing economic power.
A Little Known Reality:
June 8, 2013. Source: Michael Snyder, Guest Post
In the future China will employ millions of American workers and dominate
thousands of small communities all over the United States. Chinese
acquisition of U.S. Businesses set a new all-time record last year, and it
is on pace to shatter that record this year.
The Smithfield Foods acquisition is an example. Smithfield Foods is the
largest pork producer and processor in the world. It has facilities in 26
U.S. States and it employs tens of thousands of Americans. It directly owns 460 farms and has contracts with approximately 2,100 others. But now a Chinese company has bought it for $ 4.7 billion, and that means that the Chinese will now be the most important employer in dozens of rural
communities all over America.
Thanks in part to our massively bloated trade deficit with China, the
Chinese have trillions of dollars to spend. They are only just starting to
exercise their economic muscle.
It is important to keep in mind that there is often not much of a difference
between "the Chinese government" and "Chinese corporations". In 2011, 43 percent of all profits in China were produced by companies where the Chinese government had a controlling interest in.
Last year a Chinese company spent $2.6 billion to purchase AMC entertainment - one of the largest movie theater chains in the United States. Now that Chinese company controls more movie ticket sales than anyone else in the world.
But China is not just relying on acquisitions to expand its economic power.
"Economic beachheads" are being established all over America. For example, Golden Dragon Precise Copper Tube Group, Inc. recently broke ground on a $100 million plant in Thomasville, Alabama. Many of the residents of Thomasville, Alabama will be glad to have jobs, but it will also become yet another community that will now be heavily dependent on communist China.
And guess where else Chinese companies are putting down roots? Detroit.
Chinese-owned companies are investing in American businesses and new vehicle technology, selling everything from seat belts to shock absorbers in retail stores, and hiring experienced engineers and designers in an effort to soak up the talent and expertise of domestic automakers and their suppliers. If you recently purchased an "American-made" vehicle, there is a really good chance that it has a number of Chinese parts in it. Industry analysts are hard-pressed to put a number on the Chinese suppliers operating in the United States.
China seems particularly interested in acquiring energy resources in the
United States. For example, China is actually mining for coal in the
mountains of Tennessee. Guizhou Gouchuang Energy Holdings Group spent $616 million dollars to acquire Triple H Coal Co. in Jacksboro, Tennessee. At the time, that acquisition really didn't make much news, but now a group of conservatives in Tennessee is trying to stop the Chinese from blowing up their mountains and taking their coal.
And pretty soon China may want to build entire cities in the United States
just like they have been doing in other countries. Right now China is
actually building a city larger than Manhattan just outside Minsk, the
capital of Belarus.
Are you starting to get the picture? China is on the rise. If you doubt
this, just read the following:
# When you total up all imports and exports, China is now the number one
trading nation on the entire planet.
# Overall, the U.S. has run a trade deficit with China over the past decade
that comes to more than 2.3 trillion dollars.
# China has more foreign currency reserves than anyone else on the planet.
# China now has the largest new car market in the entire world.
# China now produces more than twice as many automobiles as the United
States does. After being bailed out by U.S. taxpayers, GM is involved in 11
joint ventures with Chinese companies.
# China is the number one gold producer in the world.
# The uniforms for the U.S. Olympic team were made in China.
# 85% of all artificial Christmas trees the world over are made in China.
# The new World Trade Center tower in New York is going to include glass
imported from China.
# China now consumes more energy than the United States does.
# China is now in aggregate the leading manufacturer of goods in the entire
world.
# China uses more cement than the rest of the world combined.
# China is now the number one producer of wind and solar power on the entire globe.
# China produces 3 times as much coal and 11 times as much steel as the
United States does.
# China produces more than 90 percent of the global supply of rare earth
elements.
# China is now the number one supplier of components that are critical to
the operation of any national defense system.
# In published scientific research articles China is expected to become
number one in the world very shortly.
And what we have seen so far may just be the tip of the iceberg. For now, I
will just leave you with one piece of advice - learn to speak Chinese. You
are going to need it!
