I apologize for including Reverend Sharpton in the picture, but, rarely does Michael Bloomberg and K"Nut"e Gingrich appear in public together for a 'photo op.'
I heard both of them on the news hour "Meet the Press." I have heard it all now.
They ranted on and on about how 'endorsing' spending on Global Climate Change agenda is a national security threat as it puts money in the hands of our enemies. That is straight out of the Murdoch News Agency. I cannot believe how extensive the lies are and how these men can't thing for themselves.
They say these things in the face of FACTS otherwise:
YEMEN (click here) - The top leader of rebels in Sa’adah, northern Yemen, Abdul Malik al-Houthi has died after he was seriously injured in an air strike two weeks ago, military and independent sources said Sunday.
Various and concurrent sources from Sa’adah said Sunday that Abdul Malik al-Houthi was buried on Saturday in al-Malahaid area, west of Sa’adah.
He was buried next to the house of Ahmed al-Hadawi, who is very close to al-Houthi family, military and the concurrent independent sources said....
One would think the 'fall of the Karzai government' would be enough evidence to the outcomes of abandoned Western support, but, nooooo....these bozos actually will say ANYTHING to be partisan among their constituents.
Yemen Says It Foiled Al-Qaeda Attack on U.K. Embassy Last Week (click here)
December 24, 2009, 10:04 AM ESTBy Henry Meyer
Dec. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Al-Qaeda planned to carry out a suicide attack on the U.K. Embassy in the Yemeni capital that was foiled last week by security forces, the Defense Ministry’s newspaper reported.
Eight al-Qaeda militants strapped with explosive belts intended to storm the embassy in Sana’a after a twin car bomb attack on the building, the Yemeni ministry’s 26 September newspaper cited unidentified security officials as saying today. The operation, to be carried out by a terrorist cell based in Arhab, northeast of the capital, was in its final stages of operation, the newspaper said....
How long has the USA worked with the Islamic/Arab/Muslim nations of the Middle East to bring about peace? How long and how much have we invested in attempting to secure our country away from the propaganda of radicals in these nations? What is the ONE premise everyone knows it true about the 'security of al Qaeda' in these nations? IT IS DEPENDENT UPON POVERTY.The extremist networks have nothing to offer these people except poverty and the five pillars of Islam. In hopelessness, the people abide by the 'rule of man' in these countries because the governments are helpless to do anything about it.
WHY?
Because as long as impoverishment can assist people to survive, ie: Somali pirates, Hezbollah and the list goes on, the governments will 'allow' them to exist because they have no alternative for their people. As the 'networks of violence' grow in strength by 'dependency issues' alone they take over the culture and they grow in numbers. The government then becomes overwhelmed with corruption and the result are countries completely dysfunctional.
What do we know goes hand in hand with poverty? Besides networks of violence? What results from poverty due to the ravages of natural resources, including diamonds and all that mess, is ENVIRONMENTAL degradation. What does environmental degradation cause? Oh, is that what the issue is? Yes, indeed, human induced global wamring because the biotic content of nations are devastated and the carbon sinks disappear.
There are some very basic truths here and Knute Gingrich and Michael Bloomberg and Rupert Murdoch's political ambitions are not served by them.
WELL.
TOO BAD.
The fact of the matter is that people STARVE due to environmental degradation was well. Ever study 'what happened to the Mayans?' The more devastation to the land less productive it is and THAT is one of the reasons Plantation Farms are out of the question. One species plantations succumb to Climate Change and the land is left barren and eroding.
These countries, the ones that sustain al Qaeda and the Brotherhood and Hamas are some of the most environmentally devastated nations on Earth. What results is starvation and drought and then the NGOs are faced with hauling food to the people because the governments are unable to sustain their lands and therefore the people.
If you want to talk about 'dangers to the USA and Western national security,' we can talk about how STUPID, completely STUPID the USA Republicans are in their worship of money, their greed and the way they treat Murdoch as god.
The Republicans are nothing short of pathetic, a danger to the USA national security and they need to be dealt with and not given a spot light on Meet the Press.
