"Lie to Me" - About the phoniest mess I have ever witnessed.

Here again, government authority is a weighty issue within this private business concern.  Of course, the private business is better at anything than the government.  Laced chronically with death, suicide, etc.  The entire 'premise' to this 'fiction' is very poorly founded in 'concrete science.'  It is mostly conjecture and intimidation that leads to success in the story line.  I remember when Bill O'Reilly was giving lessons on reading body languge.  Really?  It was primarily to distract citizens from actually listening to their President, but, to seek a 'greater and fool-proof reading' of any body language. 

Weird. 

Really, really weird.

I am fairly convinced there is a significant segment of the populous of American preoccupied with...

NCIS

Graphic dissections, mystery, sexy technology geeks and romance.  The characters are also isolated except for 'the sexual intrigue.'  Abby has no identity outside the lab.  Ducky is always found sculpting a corpse.  These characters don't have depth to define them, they are 'anyone' to the audience.  The 'neotany' of these characters is extreme.

Cable News Ratings: Top 30 Programs For January 2011 (PHOTOS) (click here)

First Posted: 02- 1-11 05:37 PM

In a way, January's cable news ratings are no surprise: Fox News overwhelmed the competition, and MSNBC beat CNN. But there were some interesting tidbits to be found in the end-of-the-month rankings. For starters, Glenn Beck's spot on the list slid down for the second time in three months. Beck used to be assured the #3 slot. But in November, he was pushed to fourth, and in January, he fell further to #5,...


As far as I am concerned this assessment applies to 'talk radio' as well.  As I looked at the ratings article in The Huffington Post, many 'characteristics' of Cable News audiences came to life.

1.  Caucasian.  Not one minority anchor is a headliner. 

2.  Male.  Where women co-anchor or are the headliner themselves their viewership falls off dramatically.

3.  Right Wing Extremist.  Where there are 'moderate' anchors there are far fewer viewers.  I mean sincerely, it is probably a 'socio-economic' issue.  These viewers are using the internet rather than paying for cable.

4.  Macho.  The men at the top of the ratings are hyper-masculine in their point of view, very controlling on all fronts, have women 'under their thumb,' exhibit distain for President Obama and Democrats.  It doesn't matter the topic, rarely, very, very rarely will they agree with any moderate or liberal point of view or accomplishment.  It doesn't matter if their position is rhetorical, then it is rhetorical.  It still stands.

5.  Favor war over peace.  Make no mistake, the viewers and listeners of the Right Wing Media are counting the days to when the USA will invade the Middle East because of the liberation movement in Egypt.  And Egypt will be 'the excuse' just like Iraq was to again engage in 'war of choice.'  These people don't know how to spell the word peace, yet alone understand its meaning.

6.  They embrace death, like to talk about it, like guns for any reason under the sun, wants harm to come to others.  You name it.  So long as it is not them being harmed or killed they are all for it.

If an anchor and the topics of the show are NOT lies to allow faux 'gods' of extremism to exist, the cable news program will never, never be able to compete.  Ever.  There has to be a willingness to bend the truth to 'the favor' of this hypermasculized 'fantasy world' otherwise the show or anchor will never be able to achieve or maintain their viewership.  Guaranteed.  These people don't want the truth.  Ever.  They want power and use fear as a motivator.  They are highly unethical broadcasters and I hesitate to call them journalists.  They are power brokers, not journalists. 

I have a diagnosis for the USA.

Clue:

This 'disease' expresses desire to possess an unresisting and unrejecting partner, reunions with a romantic partner, sexual attraction to ???????, comfort or overcoming feelings of isolation, or seeking self-esteem by expressing power over a homicide victim.

It's Sunday Night

Night of the Loving Dead - LORDI

"On the Night of the loving dead" by Lordi

Now beware the streets tonite
Lay low till the sunrise
The undead casanovas hunt for love

(You may)
Lock the doors, drop the blinds
Keep quiet and stay inside
But nothing helps when push comes to shove

Bequeth thy loving - My body's cold
I take you in my coffin where you can kiss my bones

On the Night of the loving dead
Love the un-living, no skins attached
On the Night of the loving dead
The Night of the loving dead

Dressing sharp, au naturel
Looking drop dead gorgeous
Sins of the rotten flesh for you to hold

My caress is terminal
'cause my touch is torture
There's no way in hell I'll let you go

Bequeth thy loving - My body's cold
I take you in my coffin where you can kiss my bones

On the Night of the loving dead
Love the un-living, no skins attached
On the Night of the loving dead
The Night of the loving dead

Six feet underground
If I had a heart you would make it pound
You make the dead come alive

[Solo]

On the Night of the loving dead
Love the un-living, no skins attached
On the Night of the loving dead
Love the un-living, no skins attached

On the Night of the loving dead
Love the un-living, no skins attached
On the Night of the loving dead
The Night of the loving dead

There are three opinions of what occurred in the 2010 elections.

...Independent groups (click title to entry - thank you) have reported spending $270 million so far, but that number does not include tens of millions of dollars more that were not disclosed to the Federal Election Commission. Much of the money has been spent by nonprofit groups such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce that do not have to reveal the sources of funds.... 

According to Speaker Boner on "Meet the Press" today, the 2010 elections were about deficit reduction (click here).

Now, since President Obama already installed a commission to review the debt and deficit and make recommendations, then why would the elections be about that?

According to President Obama the 2010 elections were about bi-partisanship and how the country wanted everyone to work together.  I find that a slightly more realistic, but, there is 'an elephant in the living room' everyone seems to be ignoring.  

The 2010 Elections were 'bought' wherever possible by the plutocracy while the Pre-Election Senate obstructed campaign finance reform after the hideous decision regarding corporations beings citizens even though they don't breath oxygen.

THAT, more than anything is what the 2010 Elections were all about and I still don't see cooperation in the Senate to 'REVERSE' the hideous Robert's Court Decision.  The 2010 Elections were corrupted by huge amounts of corporate and special interest groups monies with PR campaigns laced densely with lies, manipulation and deceit.  Now, until that is fixed I don't see anyone having the right to try to derail 'the truth' about the outcome of the 2010 Elections, including the President.

So, nice try Boner, but, can the House sincerely do something for the country in the next two years besides rhetorical circuses and draconian budget cuts that will destroy the fabric of our country and imperil our planet?  Okay?

Let me get this right, the people can have a coal-fired power plant in every backyard in Michigan?

This has got to be one of the most exploitive decisions in favor of frivilous spending I have ever witnessed.  In Holland, Michigan a power plant builder decided it would be 'simply wonderful' to built a coal-fired plant with promises of jobs, etc., etc., etc.

SURPRISE, the community has NO NEED for the power plant and an activist judge decided the Michigan DNRE had no right to stand in the way of the plant just because it was proven they didn't need it.

...However, Ottawa County Circuit Court Judge Jon Van Allsburg (click title to entry - thank you) ruled in favor of the utility in a lawsuit against the agency, saying that the decision based on need and not on environmental impact was wrong. In the early days of the Snyder Administration, the state Attorney General's office said that it would appeal the decision, as the new staff under Bill Schuette hadn't had time to fully review the case prior to the deadline for filing an appeal.

On Friday morning, the DNRE changed course and issued the permit to the BPW. Utility and city officials state that no final decision on how to address further electric needs has been made, but that the issuing of the permit gives them another option.

The city and the BPW are currently defendants in civil litigation filed by the Sierra Club, claiming that past expansion of the DeYoung Plant had violated federal law....

Will EXPENSIVE corruption ever end in the USA?  Will it?  Somehow every power broker seems to think they can increase they cash flow by manipulating public opinion and raming through their demands in the courts.

I am confident the last thing the new Republican Governor of Michigan Synder wants is scandal within his administration by providing permits for exploitive and unnecessary spending in Michigan.  Then aqain, rather than having real ideas about developing the Michigan economy, deregulation and exploitation of the citizen is a Republican favorite to prove they can grow jobs where no one else can.  Guess what?  They are right.  Republicans have no social conscience when it comes to feeding cronies and this might be Synder's first step into corruption.  He has already proven he has no conscience when it comes to personal financial aspirations in robbing Michigan of their 'brain trust' to create jobs, why expect anything else from him?

Johannes Gutenberg was a goldsmith and invented mechanical, moveable typsetting of the printing press.

Like Einstein, Mr. Gutenberg never wanted his invention to be used for evil.

The Founders of the USA Constitution were men of conscience and never intended the First Amendment to be used for evil purposes either.

Yet, through the magic of a so called civil society, Murdoch's anchors, such as Glenn Beck, can use the media to destroy the political fabric of a country, while attempting to rally actions by citizens to kill others and attempt riots of civil unrest to stop an existing democracy in its tracks.  Beck is never interested in killing himself or being killed, he only seeks to 'inspire and give license' to 'ANYONE within the listing audience (He affectionately calls "Sick Freaks) to kill and be killed for him.

And this is what gets me, journalists in Rwanda can target people for extinction over the airwaves, be tried and imprisoned, yet, the likes of Beck cannot be silenced when he states he would like to kill others or have them dead.  That, so called Freedom of Speech, is not freedom at all, but, a method to bring about a result that limits speech to only what he approves of.  I don't know what is wrong with the FCC in being unable to limit 'hate speech.'  Heck, they outlawed the "N" word in NYC. 

The Right Wing uses ? political speech ? to distort and lie.  Recently, a "Focus on the Family" radio host wrote an Op-Ed, at least according to him, in the Washington Post about the recent criminal activity in an abortion clinic in Philiadelphia.  In his radio program he was taking a criminal content within the USA to demonize any and all abortions.  It is typical of how the Right Wing extremists work.  They find 'exception' with one incident and extrapolate it into 'the norm' for the entire country.  THAT 'methodology' stands OUTSIDE the acceptable ethics of journalism and completely lacks morality.  Then they claim to not be the inspiration for killers, such as Rudolph and Roeder, while Murdoch's Favorite Son ranted "Tiller the Baby Killer."

PHILADELPHIA -- The case against (click here) an abortion doctor accused of killing infants who were delivered alive following late-term abortion procedures and nine of his former employees will move forward, a judge ruled today....

Another Right Wing radio personality within the Limbaugh dynasty has taken a severe rant against General Electric.  The reason is because of the promotion of GE's Jeffery Immelt within the President's White House economic team.  Mr. Immelt graciously come forward to work with the Obama Administration to improve opportunity for Americans in regard to the economy.  Now, he is a target of hate by the Right Wing Media.  Not to diminish the magnificent impact Mr. Volker has for his expertise, but, to have someone, like Mr. Immelt, with a 'real vision' of the 'real future' is something the USA not only needs but has lacked for a decade if not three.

Jeffrey Immelt, GE CEO, To Replace Volcker On Obama's Economic Team (click here)

The Huffington Post   

Lila Shapiro  First 

Posted: 01/21/11 10:06 AM  

Updated: 01/21/11 10:13 AM

Early Friday morning, Obama announced a significant shift for the White House economic team: the war against Wall Street greed has lost a major player, and corporate America has gained an advocate.

General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt will be the new head of a Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. This panel will replace Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board, formerly headed by Paul Volcker....

But, in all the great wisdom of the Right Wing hate mongers, their political solution for 2012 elections is to run the reputation of GE into the ground and destroy more jobs.  General Electric, different from GM in its solvency, is an American Icon.  I don't really see GE ever disappearing off the American Landscape.  And to think GE actually INVENTS things.  Innovation as a means to economic growth has been the call with President Obama, but, it was also a priority with the Bush administration as a means to diminish carbon emissions.  So, the 'Bubba' that entrenches HATE SPEECH of an American Corporate Giant within his show everyday is actually seeking to 'do damage.'  Damage to the company, its dedicated leadership in Mr. Immelt, the American economy and the citizens working for GE.  All this for no other reason except a 'sick revenge' for electing the President we have today and lay a hate for his administration and the President himself as a goal to win Republican domination of all branches of government by 2012.

All three of those instances are examples of extremism with political goals practicing outside journalistic ethics, willing to place the nation and any of its people in danger to facilitate a 'sick goal' they and only they value.

Tomorrow I have planned a 'Sunday Night' to provide 'my perspective' on a danger we have allowed within our society currently viewed a benign element of life.  I mean.  What is everyone thinking?  For the USA to be an exemplary example of 'Freedom of Speech' to the global community it should include dignity, truth and excellence.

Congratulations, Egypt

I hope all continues to improve toward a new democracy.

PEACE.

"The Internet" loses its grip on power. President Mubarak is absolutely correct.

Tell the Boy Scouts in Tahrir Square they won as many concessions as they are going to win.  They need to return to their lives and continue to anticipate open and transparent elections whereby their devoted President Mubarak, nor any of his family will be running.  He is instituting "Marshall Law" and I support that.  The country has to return to a 'stable and normal status' to inherent the powers of a democracy.  THERE IS NO INFRASTRUCTURE in place for President Mubarak's resignation.  HE IS NOT NIXON! 

The reason Egypt is a powerful peace partner is BECAUSE of President Mubarak.  The focus HAS to shift to 'quality of life' of the Egyptian people and NOT a change in power.  To that end the USA needs ot chnage its policies to focus on the people and NOT the military.

The 'legacy of Middle East evil' as mapped out by Bush and Saddam DOES NOT EXIST. 

This is insane.  Mubarak is not a monster.  The MIDDLE EAST and its inherent nature is the problem.  He is trying to carry out the will of the people while protecting them.  How proud would any Western Civilization be if after a month from his resignation there were blood baths in the streets? 

The 'free media' has more issues than they are willing to face ! 

This should NEVER have been a 'black and white issue.'  EVER.  There is entirely too much 'grey' in this transition and it has to proceed well to a 'clear and discernable' end.

Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak said (click title to entry - thank you) in a national address Tuesday evening that he will not step down until a new president is selected in elections scheduled for September.

Saying a peaceful transfer of power is underway, Mr. Mubarak refused to give in to demands of tens of thousands of anti-government protesters who took to the streets for a 17th straight day.

It is the second time in two weeks that Mubarak told the nation he will stay in office until September....

No one is pointing a finger at extremist groups eithre.  We all know the beginnings of this and it is about as innocent as it comes.  The country is not ready for the transition.  It is just that simple.  The Western Media needs to point out the 'greatness' of this Egyptian President and his devotion to transitioning Egypt as he also marshalled peace with Israel.  GROW UP !

If there are deaths and riots leading NOWHERE, we all know where to look!

Sen. Kyl Retiring to Give 'Others a Chance'

It would appear as though the USA is also seeing transitions as well. Let's hope this goes just as well. I never thought I would ever see the day. The Dems need to at least put their best foot forward. Kyl has been sliding in the polls since his last election. He could be elected again, but, he was reaching 'a margin' where that might not be the case, either.

President Mubarak has been a dedicated leader to Egypt. Today is no different.

I congratulate Egypt on their transition to an openly democratic government. It will be the second democracy in the Middle East.

The military has proven themselves to be capable of the restraint necessary to provide further stability during these uncertain times.

We are all watching and hoping for the best.

Lee actually resigned? That has a first for the GOP.

Rep. Chris Lee Resigns, Shirtless Photos Surface  (click title to entry for video - thank you)

8:49 AM, Feb 10, 2011

Lee issued a statement that, in part, reads: "It has been a tremendous honor to serve the people of Western New York.  I regret the harm that my actions have caused my family, my staff and my constituents.  I deeply and sincerely apologize to them all. I have made profound mistakes and I promise to work as hard as I can to seek their forgiveness. "...

So soon as a mention of 'privacy' as a stimulus to the economy, all kinds of flags go up for the Right Wing.

They immediately think "nudity and kiddy porn." 

That is the furthest from the truth and is actually even more reason why 'privacy' is vital to a democracy.

Earlier I mentioned a book about the founder of The Muslim Brotherhood.   I mentioned that for a specific reason.  But, let's just assume some innocent 'intelliectual' decides to borrow that book from a library.

That same person is seeking employment in a security company.  The person is qualified, more than qualified and his background check is complete and sent to the 'decision makers' for his employment.  They see the applicant reads some rather 'disturbing' material.  So, as a result the applicant that has read historical Muslim material is declined for a 'lesser applicant' without controversial library choices.

There is damage done to a well qualified applicant and it is all because employers can be voyeurs to their employees personal choices.

Republican politicians (click here) on Thursday called for a sweeping new federal law that would require all Internet providers and operators of millions of Wi-Fi access points, even hotels, local coffee shops, and home users, to keep records about users for two years to aid police investigations....

The damage goes beyond personal damage, it impacts social tones and ultimately political decisions.  Economies, quiet frankly, can 'stall' in 'variety' to bring about a very 'stale' market place.

So, if there are such problems in gainful employment how does that translate into economic dynamics?

What will occur and I am confident there are elements in the USA right now, is that people will 'see the profit' in limiting their choices.  Oh, the choices will be there for as long as there is a minimal market, but, the 'self-discipline' of individuals will create a limited demand for specific 'cultural' demands.  The producers of those cultural leanings will do fine, but, there won't be competition from other venues.  The markets will becomes saturated by 'the current fashion' and sales will drop off.  When there is LITTLE change in the market to encourage 'hunger for knowing' there are huge dynamics that create not just limited market choices, but, 'self-limited' political choices.  Elections become meaningless.

When a society becomes 'monotone' and steers away from 'certain topics' then 'the brain trust' is limited.  There is NO creative impact to effect markets.  The culture is stagnant, the knowledge base limited and all kinds of negative dynamics begin because of lack of imagination and creativity.  And let's face it, the people 'getting the jobs' are less qualified, yet more amenable to 'iconography.'

There in lies the dangers of 'the ideologue.'  The perfect world.  The perfect society.  The ANSWERS to all problems. 

World domination to bring about a 'monotone' peace has within its definition GENOCIDE.  Where that so called 'peace' is a result of war, there will be significant deaths that accompany 'change.'

Where 'self-regulation' of choices due to invasion of privacy that results in 'real world' consequences exists SOCIAL BEHAVIORS will result.  That doesn't mean the society is even stable, so much as contained.

Part of what is witnessed in the Middle East is a 'break down' of BEHAVIORS in favor of freedom and choices within that freedom.  There was absolutely NO WAY of predicting what is now transpiring and while it seems 'correct' to pick on the intelligence agencies, the dynamics were ALWAYS there.  I am sure 'that potential' is in reports across years if not decades of assessments.

It is sort of like a bottle of champagne.  The potental for 'the pop' of the cork is inherent to champagne and its 'carafe.'  How does one ask an intelligence agency to 'predict' paradigm shifts?  It is a silly question, because, if intelligence gathering could predict 'social shifts' in behavior Wall Street would be using it for strategies.

The 'day before' the violence in Tunisia was basically the same as it always had been.  What occured when 'the cork popped' in Tunisia was a result of 'the human mind' and the choices it made 'that day.'  What occurred after Tunisia was somewhat more predictable, but, it occurred as quickly as the speed of light becuase 'the champagne' is basically the same across the political spectrum of Northern Africa.  The exception is Egypt and why Egypt is such a wonderful 'leader' for benevolent change in this area of the world.

Intelligence agencies can track weapons, drugs and the people that use both items to elicit power over others, but, it is really difficult to know what information received over social media will 'pop the cork' to explode a new paradigm.

Choice is an economy.  All by itself it is an economy.  The PRIVACY to 'explore' those choices is vital to the growth of those economies.  If there are unexpected events experienced as 'those choices' are made all we as human beings on Earth can hope for is peaceful people seeking their own justice in peaceful ways.  Otherwise, why reach for change if one is not going to be able to enjoy it?

Looks like the oversized potalo masher didn't ease the responsibility of actually counting votes.

Would this have happened to Former Speaker Pelosi? NO!  She knew down to the wire what she was looking at on any bill passage.  Wow.

...The Patriot Act, (click title to entry - thank you) a Bush Administration legacy, has typically been more strongly supported by Republicans than Democrats.
But the House leadership was blindsided Tuesday evening when a Patriot Act extension was defeated....

Blindsided is an interesting word.  Very interesting.

The New Republicans actually gave Boner something to cry about.

They did it 'their way.'  A 'true' Up or Down vote.  I think I am proud of them and if they are finding common ground with Democrats has I had hoped, then I know I am proud of them.

It is interesting to actually see a sincere "Up or Down Vote."  One might call it refreshing.

I also believe they are correct; in that; the Patriot Act was never patriotic.  It is over-reaching and institutes government in the "W"rong places.  The people of the USA need security NOT invasion of privacy for privacy.  If library records are exposed to 'any man' then freedom is lost, not just from the exposure, but, the impunded behavior of citiznens worried about their well being and choices.  Life becomes very politically oriented and is the beginnings of something terrible.  Allowing privacy actually should enhance the market place.

I found an article about 'jobs' from 2003 that I thought might be interesting.

It was from "Business Week."  The cover story is "THECEOOFHIPHOP."

The article I found interesting begins on page 40.  The title to the article is "JOBS: THE TURNING POINT IS HERE."  Yes, it is my personal copy and is in front of me as I write this.

Jobs from 2000, First Quater went from a little over 2% growth to an all time low in Third Quaater, 2001 of Negative 2%.  I don't suppose anyone remembers that?  It occurred right before September 11th.

The jobs rate recovered to a 'flat-line' during the Second Quarter of 2002 and continued there with occassion dips into the negative side for years.  Oddly, the GDP was remarkably well with increases to 6% by Second Quarter 2003.  It was probably war related as it was lackluster previous to that.

Hello?  Saddam was good for Bush /.Cheney-o-nomics.

The bottom line is that GROWTH was viewed in Real Estate, Construction, and Commercial Banking with top job creation falling to Health care and social assistance, Temporary-help services and Accommodations and food service with Government coming in fourth.

We lost construction, real estate and commercial banking at the end of 2008, so what the President is doing to BEGIN new venues of growth in the USA is 'spot on.'  The economy of the Republicans was dead in 2003 and simply died in 2008.

Go, President Obama, Go.

Cause and Effect?

Muzaffar al-Din Shah Qajar (left), king of Persia from 1897-1907, granted a concession in 1901 to William Knox D’Arcy (1849-1917) (right), a British investor, to explore for oil in southern Iran. D’Arcy never visited Iran or any part of the Middle East. He became the first director of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company in 1909.  (Click here)

Certainly every Right Wing Nut recognizes this gentlemen.  I probably don't have to say a word.

I said to myself, "Self?  I wonder if there is any relationship between the arrival of The West and radicalism in the Middle East?"

That gentleman, Imam Shahid Hasan Al-Banna, is the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, somewhere around the year 1928, I believe.  He was assassinated.  Imagine that, an Imam assassinated.  The year was 1949.

I believe the first oil well was drilled by a US company in Saudi Arabia about 1933.

My dates are a little off.  He was a teacher, as was his father.  He knew little of nothing about Europe and the USA even a the time of his death from assassination at the age of 42-43 years old.  Imagine an Imam being assassinated.  Wow.

They were scholars of 'hadith.'  I doubt anyone reading this knows what 'hadith' is or could state what the 'context' of it might be.  As IGNORANT as these scholars were of The West, could not even conceptualize it; "The West" was never a good landlord and was as IGNORANT about 'hadith' in the land where they found vast profits.  Instead, 'The West' was all about itself and making money.  Shouldn't eveyrone else be?

"A Mosque?  What are you talking about, that thing you wear on your face on Halloween?  Five times a day?  These guys pray in a Mosque five times a day.  No, thanks, once on Saturday or Sunday is all the holiness I need.  They ought to give it a shot, you know?"

S.M. Hasan Al-Banna (click here)

Imam Shahid Hasan Al-Banna born in Egypt (1906- 1949), The founder of Al Ikwan Al Muslimin (The Muslim Brotherhood) the largest Islamic Movement of our time.

He studied Hadith and Shafi' fiqh under his Father Shaykh Abdur Rahaman Al-Banna, which he was considered one of the top Hadith scholar of his time, Shaykh Abdurhaman Al-Banna re-arranged the Musnad of Imam Ahmed ibn Hanbal thus made it much easier for the students of knowledge to search for hadith.
Imam Al Banna is considered by many Muslim scholars worldwide as the Mujaddid of his time (A revival of Islam in the 20th century). He was assassinated in 1949.

This is where it really gets interesting.  The Yom Kipper War.  It was the first time Arab nations encountered the militarization of Israel.

Remember the 1973 oil embargo?  A cartel thing for money, right?  "W"rong.  The embargo was initiated to make an impression on 'The West' regarding the militarization of Israel.  The Arab nations decided their sovereignty was at risk in a way they grossly underestimated.

Oh, yeah. 

What occurred 'to save face' was the first "Middle East Peace Engagement."  There were successful negotiations with Israel to pull back from the Sinai and Golan Heights once the fighting stopped.  The West would do anything for oil and Israel was, after all, dependent (OPPOSITE OF INDEPENDENT / INDEPENDENCE).  The Nixon Administration (George H. W. Bush was ambassador to China at the time.  I think.  Well, he was ambassador to China, I am just wondering the 'timing.') negotiated both with the Arab oil exporting countries end to the embargo in tandem with Egypt, Syria and Israel 'peace settlement.'

It was then the nations of the Middle East found 'the weapons trade' with The West.  They called it "Weapons Trade with Under-developed Countries."  DC still calls it that today.  It is an oxymoron.  Why would any country trade weapons with 'undeveloped' countries?   Any guess?  I can't come up with any.  In this case, it is because The West didn't want economic collapse when the oil spigot was turned off.  Then later there was the Iran Contra Affair and that whole mess. 
Interesting, huh?

So, now that "Twitter" and social media has opened up the world to Arabia and the people finally 'get it' about democracy and a responsive government, The West is suppose to believe the worst about The Muslim Brotherhood.

Why?

It is probably the first time Arabs 'on the street'' actually know what WESTERNS look like!

So, before the 'morons' on the Right Political Spectrum of the USA start being paranoid about The Muslim Brotherhood, they need to 'bone up' on 'hadith.'  Should be interesting for them.  To actually thinik after all these years of 'fiscal exploitation' of the Middle East, they might actually come to understand 'the natives.' 

After 'really, really' getting ones mind entrenched in 'faux fear' of Middle East Democracy, it sincerely makes one come to appreciate 'The Peace Movement' and opposition to weapons sales.

Get over it.  The Middle East is 'coming into its own,' finally!

Oppression breeds poverty.  Poverty breeds ignorance and extremism.

The USA needs to MODIFY its policies in The Middle East to include 'prudent' weapons sales AND quality of life of civilians.

Bill O'Reilly conducted one of the poorest interviews I have ever witnessed.

I learned NOTHING, except, what O'Reilly wanted the President to say and how insecure the Murdoch anchor was to maintain control of the final product.

What there something 'exclusive' in that interview?

NOPE!  Just incredible disrespect for the President and the audience.
