The Enemy of My Enemy...II

Russia’s Leaders See China as Template for Ruling  Ω

United Russia’s leaders even convened a special meeting this month with senior Chinese Communist Party officials to hear firsthand how they wield power.
  
Russia and China Hold Peace Mission Drills to Show USA Its Place Ω

Russia and China will hold their joint military exercise on July 22-27 on the territories of the two countries. About 3,000 military men, 300 units of military hardware, over 40 planes and helicopters will take part in Peace Mission-2009 drills. --"Peace Mission Drills" Nice, someone's been reading their Orwell. 

“There is a political motive there too. We want to show it to the USA that Russia has a strategic partner – China – and that Russia will not be following the USA’s directions. Moreover, Russia is ready to demonstrate that it is following a different political course,” the specialist said.

Russia and China are the two superpowers that will maintain balance in a New World Order where the US empire must shrink back within its own borders and withdraw its tentacles that have spread all over the world, much to the righteous anger of the world community.

So Russia and China join forces...so as to insure that no rogue superpower ever again will present a danger to lives, to peace and tranquility. With that out of the way, the true enemies of man can be conquered: hunger, disease and poverty. --Yeah, 'cause they've been doing such a good job of that for their own people for the last 90 years. Mass murder, forced abortions, grinding poverty, genocide, the gulag...*cough* AKA, "Hope and Change", baby!

Karl Marx Predicted Collapse of US Dollar in 1857  Ω

The great October fall of the US dollar is turning into an avalanche. On Tuesday, the American currency lost nine kopeks in Russia and reached a new minimum mark this year - 29.5 rubles per dollar. Within six months (April through September) the dollar lost over 10 percent at the world foreign exchange trading, which marked the sharpest decline since 1991. Some experts believe that the American currency is close to collapse, which may lead to a new financial crisis. --See my post "The Perfect Storm" for more details.

Pravda prints the truth...that the US papers won't. And in other news, Hell has, indeed, frozen over.  Ω

The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.

I can't top that, so I'll sign off here.

Rainbows and Unicorns

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States said on Friday it would allow a senior North Korean official to visit this month, a move analysts said could be a first step toward talks between the two on ending Pyongyang's nuclear programs.

The United States hopes a bilateral dialogue may bring North Korea, which carried out its second nuclear test in May, back to wider talks on abandoning its nuclear programs.  Ω

And, in other news..

No Soup For You!

No extra troops to Afghanistan, says Sarkozy  Ω

You know, if I didn't know better, I'd think that the French had no respect for Obama. I'd think that Sarkozy believes Obama is an empty suit (except for all the hot air, that is). I'd also think that Sarkozy called Obama out on being a hypocrite in front of the whooooole world.

But you see, I do know better. I know better, because Newsweek told me so. 

Sarkozy’s Obama Envy

By Christopher Dickey | NEWSWEEK

So there.

The Dems Eat Their Own

or "Pass the Popcorn"

This is just so sad, I can hardly bring myself to watch. The Blue Dogs and the Yellow Dogs are at each others throats over ideological differences (between their respective campaign donors) and the fur is beginning to fly.

The Blue Dogs are torn between conflicting desires.

1. Stick it to The Rich.

2. Protect their union masters.

Senators favor taxing so-called "Cadillac" insurance plans - those costing more than $8,000 annually for individuals and $21,000 for families. They argue that the cost of paying for health care legislation should come from within the health care system, and that the insurance plan tax has the benefit of nudging people to use fewer medical services, which would get at the problem of overutilization of care, a major factor in the country's spiraling medical costs.

The Cadillac plan tax faces major opposition in the House, where more than 100 Democrats oppose it. Some of the opposition stems from organized labor which fears its members could be subject to the tax. House members say their approach - a tax on individuals making more than $500,000 a year and households making more than $1 million - is a fairer way to go and would find more favor with the public.  
Ω
Translation: Stick it to the rich guys, woohoo! No, wait! Not our rich guys, the other rich guys! Yeah, yeah the non-union rich guys. The ones that create jobs. Yeah, them. The Fat Cats.

The Yellow Dogs are also torn between conflicting desires.

1. Get their way at all costs.

2. Escape blame when their legislation sucks America down the crapper.

"This is going to be hard to pull off." snarled Yellow Dog at Blue Dog. "Lessee....how do we knock over the 90 pound trash can and blame it on the cat?" *scratches left ear, licks crotch, gnaws Bush doll thoughtfully..*

The only hope we Fat Cats have (please click on an ad or two while you're here and keep me out of the po' house, thanks) is that the Dems will be too busy squabbling over their respective bones to pull anything together.

Forever and ever.

Amen.

Gimme A Break!

Could he be any more pathetic?



Wait, forget I asked.

And in other news...."WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal deficit soars to all-time high of $1.42T, expected to total $9.1T over the next decade."

Yes We Can!!

The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend

Last century the two largest Eastern powers, Russia and China, were prevented from uniting forces against the West by three main factors.

1. A deep cultural divide.
2. A schism in their interpretations of Communist ideology.
3. A very well-placed mistrust of each other.

Now, however, the Bear and the Dragon are negotiating terms in an unholy alliance that may produce offspring deadly to the US.

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Wednesday wrapped up a three-day visit to the Chinese capital, during which Russia signed dozens of commercial pacts worth $3.5 billion and set the framework for a separate, multibillion-dollar agreement to build two natural gas pipelines to China from gas fields in Russia's Far East. The agreement highlights the determination of both nations to diversify their economies and seek new customers and vendors. It also reflects a political desire by both to steer a course independent of Western powers and especially the United States.

Sounds innocuous enough, until you take a few other factors into account.

"Russia and China have become genuine and comprehensive strategic and cooperative partners in recent years," Putin was quoted by Xinhua as saying. Ω

Rumblings from the Bear-

If Russia rises, it means that the USA falls down.- Pravda (check out their link in 'USA') Ω

Russia holds military maneuvers with communists in South America.

Russia's Big Military Spending Plans

Russia holds military maneuvers with Iran.

Moscow fiercely opposes US missile shield. (And gets its way..)

Russia signs arms pact with India.

Russia 'warns' US on missile defense.

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin criticized talk of sanctions against Iran on Wednesday, undermining U.S. efforts to present a united front against Tehran's nuclear program at a crucial moment. Ω

Russia Officially Declares Right to Nuke Potential Aggressor - Pravda (aka, All the Stuff That the US MSM Won't Print)

Today, also in Pravda- "Russia and India will start the development of a new supersonic missile nearly invincible to interception." Ω

As for the Dragon-

National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair told the U.S. Congress the Chinese have become more assertive in staking claims to international waters around economic zones and were "more military, aggressive, forward-looking than we saw a couple years before" Ω

An increasingly acrimonious trade dispute between China and the United States over the past three days is officially about tires, chickens and cars, but is really much broader. Ω

The Chinese government is now spending it's U.S. dollar-holdings faster than it is accumulating them.

China has fifth largest gold reserves.

Beijing has dismissed Washington’s charges of steel pipe dumping and subsidies as “blind accusations”.

Beijing's derivative default stance rattles banks.

China will limit easy monetary stance.

And we're sucking up to them so they won't destroy us. Sickening. Not to mention, futile. As our largest debt-holder, we subsist on scraps from their table now.

Despite the election of a stark-raving socialist to power in the US, the rest of the socialist/fascist world still hates us. You can't wipe out three generations worth of loathing in a single Presidential term.

The Left's insidious subversion of America's Judeo-Christian culture is swiftly nearing fruition. While the secular socialists running most of the rest of the world couldn't take us down with brute force, their ideological compatriots have been gnawing away at our framework from the inside. Hence, "We're All Socialists Now" was blithely printed in Newsweek shortly after Obama's coronation.

Time is swiftly running out to reverse the tide, does sufficient will to try still exist in the hearts of the people? For a beautiful paean to America, see here.
