Loose Lips Sink Ships

Well now we all know why these Navy Seals were shot down. It was a Political move for Obama to be a Hero. This is like he was a "Hero" with the dead body of Bin Ladan who was dead for many years with renal (Kidney) Failure. But then again he refuses to produce the pictures of the said killing because it will "shock" America but they produced the pictures of the others they killed.
Lets get a time line here:
1. Obama runs for Office. Right before an election he visited his grandmother in Hawaii and she is found dead 3 days before the November General Election. He won on a Pity Vote or was it? He has her body cremated when she had a plot that was paid for next to her husband.
2. January 2011: he brings out a fake Birth Certificate because he knows the Corsi book was coming out and in hours it is discovered that the birth certificate is a fraud.
3. May 1st 2011: he kills a man who is already dead from Renal Failure and in the pictures there were NO kidney dialysis machines. If Bin Ladin had Kidney failure he wouldn't be able to walk yet alone use stairs, he'd be in a wheel chair and not able to pick up a gun. With Kidney failure you die within 2-3 yrs after diagnois. If you are lucky, you die right away.
4. The Navy Seal Team 6 faces were exposed on TV when he honored them. You never show the faces of the special team who does covert missions, EVER! That is like signing their death warrant!
5. The Navy Seal Team 6 is shot down in an aircraft that was not a Navy Seal aircraft and Al Queda happened to know that this team was on said craft. Why would you send them in to rescue a platoon when the regular army or marines could do the same? Does he think that all the Navy Seals are super soldiers like Captain America? Stupid, Captain America is a comic book character, not real! You never risk the best of the best.
6 Now he's going after a group who he cant ID but he is doing it to be a Hero. This is after Obama and Biden Killed the Navy Seals with Loose Lips. Remember, loose lips sink ships!
We have a President and a Vice President who are Traitors and should be tried for treason!

As economy burns, David Cameron flies his British tennis coach out and retires his Italian one or the depression of 2011

As economy burns, David Cameron flies his British tennis coach out and retires his Italian one

The world economy may be teetering on the edge of a precipice. But on his summer holidays in Tuscany, David Cameron has other things on his mind - such as improving his forehand smash.
The Prime Minister is combining his two-week family break in a luxury 18th Century villa with tennis lessons from professional coaches.
No 10 last night confirmed that a coach had just flown out from the UK to the £10,000-a-week mansion that the Camerons are sharing with family friends.

Taking it easy: While the world economy shuddered, the Camerons relaxed in the sun

But Downing Street declined to say whether the coach would be teaching Mr Cameron, insisting he was the partner of the nanny to one of the other families staying with the Prime Minister.
A No 10 source also said the tennis expert had not been flown out at Mr and Mrs Cameron’s expense.

• France and Italy stand by to bail out biggest banks as euro crisis worsens
• The world's lost its banker - and we'll pay

But The Mail on Sunday can reveal that, while Barack Obama desperately fought to avoid financial meltdown in the US, tennis has been very much on the agenda for the Prime Minister and his friends.
They have spent the first part of the holiday having two hours of coaching every morning from local tennis instructor Alberto Francalanci.
As the coach himself disclosed yesterday, he has not been asked to come back for the second week. Mr Francalanci said: ‘I was booked for the first week only as I was then told they had someone coming over from England to do the second week of tennis lessons.

Coach: Cameron is 'not a bad player' says Alberto Francalanci

‘I was told that the coach coming out from England was the boyfriend of one of the nannies - it could have been Mr Cameron’s own nanny but I’m not sure.’
Mr Cameron famously bested Nick Clegg eight games to six in a Coalition duel at Chequers last summer and was captain of Brasenose College tennis team when he was at Oxford University.
The Italian coach said it was clear Mr Cameron was ‘not a bad player - you could tell he had played a bit and his technique wasn’t bad at all.
‘His children had a go as well but they were not too keen.’
Mr Cameron took some time off from his holiday last night to discuss the global economic crisis with President Sarkozy of France. And No 10 last night stressed he was in constant contact with Downing Street staff and keeping fully informed of events.
Paparazzi photographs published last week by Italian newspapers, which The Mail on Sunday has chosen not to show, reveal that Mr Cameron has a slight beer belly and appears to have been piling on the pounds. He is seen larking and joking around by the villa’s swimming pool as the children look on.
On Tuesday last week, Mr Cameron and his party went out for a three-course dinner at the Chiavi D’Oro restaurant in nearby Arezzo where they enjoyed bacon and tomato pasta and steak in a truffle sauce.
Mr Cameron paid the bill and, unlike last week, is understood to have left a tip.

We've been here before. Not 1929, but 1931. And that's not good...

Eye off the ball: U.S. President Barack Obama fumbled during his handling of the crisis

It is certainly a blow to President Obama’s reputation that Standard & Poor’s has downgraded the U.S.’s AAA rating.
He fumbled the Congressional politics of this, as well as his deficit spending.
But the news has been factored in and discounted already. It will fray nerves maybe, but for the rest of us, interbank deals will go on using U.S. Treasury Bonds, even if the U.S. pays some more. Dented prestige is not fatal, so calm down, dear.
Is there really something to worry about in the financial maelstrom this weekend?
Let us recall that it took two years for the Wall Street Crash of 1929 to become the Great Depression. After the initial crash in October, the market rallied for several months, before embarking on an even more shattering decline in the spring of 1930.
The Depression became global in 1931 when the French, fearing that the Germans were planning to expand their ever closer union with Austria, pulled their funds out of the Austrian Credit-Anstalt, which started a run on that bank in the May.
In fact, Credit-Anstalt was stuffed with bad loans, but it was also regarded as too big to fail. Austria guaranteed the bank, which made it a sovereign debt crisis, and, to keep going, Credit-Anstalt went to the Bank for International Settlements, which offered too small a loan, too late. This is when the lender of last resort stepped in. Partly to rebuke the French for playing politics with money,
Governor Montagu Norman of the Bank of England extended a 50million Austrian Schilling line of credit, rolled over weekly until the August when the bank had to call it in.
Suddenly it was clear that the Bank of England could no longer be the lender of last resort, and with no one else willing, the gold standard system began to crack up.

Historic event: The Great Depression of 1931 became global two years after the Wall Street Crash

In revenge, the French had started to convert their Sterling deposits to gold at a rate that exceeded the capacity to ship the stuff to Paris. Over the summer, the pressure on Sterling mounted and the Coalition (National) government proposed severe measures.
In September, in response to threats of a pay cut, there was a mutiny in the Royal Navy at Invergordon - and, just days later, Britain went off the gold standard. The French went on calling in their gold, but the damage was done. Of course it couldn’t happen again. Could it?
On July 21 this year, the leaders of the eurozone cheerfully announced another of their deals to end all deals.
They ratcheted the next move towards a European debt union in order to resolve the debt crisis in a peripheral economy, Greece.
They thereby added to the case before the German Constitutional Court which, like an unexploded grenade, has yet to rule on the legality of all this for the principal paymaster, Germany; and then they took themselves off on their summer holidays.
Since the recent heart attack on the markets, the roaring return of the eurozone crisis has now reached out from the smaller peripheral PIIGS (Greece, Ireland and Portugal) to the bigger PIIGS (Spain and especially Italy), and has caused President of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso to write to the holidaying leaders in their various resorts.

Wrong move: European Central Bank chief Jean-Claude Trichet

Naturally, Barroso blamed the national parliaments for not ratifying the bail-out deal before buzzing off to the beach, and also for not making it big enough to bail out Italy.
To help things along, on Thursday Jean-Claude Trichet, President of the European Central Bank, melodramatically told the world ‘you will see what we do’.
The markets took this as confirmation that the ECB would start to buy Spanish and Italian bonds to cool their rates, but bizarrely, Mr Trichet bought Portuguese and Irish bonds. The markets panicked.
All the familiar 1930s signs of a full-blown collapse of confidence appeared, with economic nationalism in the air and the threat of protectionism not far behind.
In the 1930s, that cycle shut down world trade. And the motor only really started up again when production for the Second World War kick-started the American economy. This is not a nice recollection, but a necessary one. War and financial mayhem do not live in different towns. They are usually semi-detached.
‘The ECB is spitting in the wind,’ commented Professor Willem Buiter, Citigroup’s chief economist and a former member of the Bank of England’s monetary policy committee. It must either come in big - which we know it can’t - to buy Italian and Spanish bonds, or, as Buiter added, ‘accept the biggest banking crisis since 1931’.
Mr Barosso should really have sent just two hoary old sayings in his letter to the hapless holidaymakers. The first is that those who forget their history are doomed to repeat it. The other is that you should never try to play politics with currencies: they always bite you back.

White House bolstering rise of Chinese dragon? Pass this on!

White House bolstering rise of Chinese dragon?

Minimizing Beijing's military threat, denying its expansionist intentions

President Obama's China adviser, Evan Medeiros, has a long history of downplaying the threat to U.S. interests posed by Beijing's rapid military and economic growth, once even penning a paper that argued China should embrace a "great power mentality."
Medeiros was appointed as China director of the White House National Security Council in 2009.
He was a foreign policy adviser to Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign and even donated $3,800 to the candidate, his only campaign contribution on record since 2000.
Read about the growing conflict, in "AMERICA FOR SALE: Fighting the...
Medeiros has been an external researcher at the Strategic Studies Institute of the U.S. Army War College, where he has given several recent lectures.
He was formerly a senior research analyst at the Arms Control Association in Washington, D.C. He was also a project associate with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Project at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and joined the RAND Corporation as a political scientist in 2002.
Prior to that, Medeiros was a senior research associate at the Center for Nonproliferation Studies at the Monterey Institute

Tiananmen Square, Beijing
In his most recent "Inside the Ring" column in the Washington Times, Bill Gertz cited congressional Republicans as identifying Medeiros as a key player involved in the Obama administration's policy of refusing to sell needed arms to Taiwan.
The same report blamed Medeiros for delaying the release of a second Pentagon report to Congress on the shifting air power balance in the Taiwan Strait.
The Times also cited Republican staff aides and a defense official as stating they believe Medeiros is behind efforts to block the release to Congress of the Pentagon's annual report on Chinese military power, completed months ago and due to Capitol Hill on March 1.
The report on China's military was also delayed last year. When it was eventually released, the report was watered down with a minimized title. Previously called the "Annual Report to Congress: Military Power of the People's Republic of China," the report was renamed "Annual Report on Security Developments Involving China."
Medeiros, meanwhile, was fingered by Gertz's sources as a key official in preventing the U.S. sale of 66 advanced F-16 jets to Taiwan and for delaying the sale of equipment to upgrade Taiwan's existing F-16s. Both military moves were expected to anger China.
A review of Medeiros's articles and statements to the news media finds a regular trend of minimizing China's threat to the U.S.
In 2009, just before his appointment to the NSC, Medeiros stated China was not seeking to "confront the United States or expel it from the region."
He argued China was not aiming to replace America as a superpower.
In 2007, Medeiros, speaking as an expert at the RAND Corporation, argued Beijing's military buildup is limited to Asia and it has not sought to project power globally.
"Cumulatively, this is a substantial amount of money devoted toward military modernization. And it's clearly a reflection of the Chinese government's priorities and the fact that they seek to build a modern military with regional power projection capabilities," Medeiros said.
In 2005, Medeiros said of China's People's Liberation Army: "Do the old shibboleths still apply – that the Chinese defense industry is backward, poor and low-quality?"
"No," he continued. "It seems China has turned the corner. … For the first time in 20 years, the PLA has adopted reforms that make sense. They adopted, and implemented, and are really learning quickly."
Medeiros that year was lead author of a 300-page RAND study, "New Directions for China's Defense Industry."
In 2002, he minimized China's missile project, telling The Economist that the Chinese "don't really see missiles as weapons of mass destruction while most American policymakers equate the two."
In an article in the November-December 2003 issue of Foreign Affairs magazine, Medeiros, with analyst M. Taylor Fravel, presented the views of experts on Chinese foreign policy as stating China should overcome its long-held ''victim mentality'' and adopt a ''great power mentality'' instead.
Speaking to Knight Ridder in 2001, Medeiros stated, "The Chinese defense industrial base is very outdated and dilapidated, especially in these areas where warfare is headed.
"They don't have the high technology to compete at all," he said.
He stated China's ships and planes, at least those not acquired from Russia, are outfitted with technology equal to what American forces had in the late 1960s or early 1970s.
"So if they ever got in a battle with the United States, we could destroy their forces before they ever saw us," Medeiros added.
Still, Medeiros has incorporated criticism of China into his work. His 2005 RAND study, for example, said China "needs to do more to enforce its own controls."
Stated the study: "China has erected a structure that has a strong legal basis to control exports of goods that can be used for making weapons of mass destruction, but it hasn't devoted the necessary financial or political resources to make these controls effective.
"This is a persistent and glaring weakness," the study said.
