Roll Call Announces New National Security Blogger ... Boeing!

Thursday July 4, 2013

Roll Call announced this week the launch of its new blog, Topic A: Defense, for the "national security community." The blog is sponsored by Boeing—one of the highest dollar value US government contractors both overall and in the defense category.

As explained in the blog launch announcement, Boeing creates some of the blog's posts. The announcement assures us that "sponsor-generated content is clearly marked as such." So let's inaugurate a new game, "Independent Blog Post or Boeing Advertisement." Without peeking, is the blog post that begins with the following paragraph an independent blog post or Boeing advertisement?

Father Francois Murad Beheaded By US-Allies in Syria

Monday July 1, 2013

Thanks to RPI contributor Pat Lang for putting a face to the victim of the US-backed Syrian rebels' latest ghastly atrocity. Father Francois Murad was a Franciscan priest who had been in hiding since the monastery he was building in Syria came under attack from the US-allied rebels. Accused of collaborating with the Syrian government, Father Murad was beheaded with what appears a small kitchen knife, as his attackers yelled "Allah Akbar."

Obama's Syrian Allies

Thursday June 27, 2013

The Washington Times is reporting that the US shift in favor of overtly arming the Syrian rebels was celebrated by the rebels with an orgy of innocent blood. According to the Times, a Christian priest and another Christian believer were beheaded by the US-allied radicals after claiming that the two Christians were siding with Syrian president Bashar Assad.

What Can One Person Do Versus the Leviathan?

Monday June 24, 2013

Over at Lew Rockwell's blog, RPI Academic Board Member Butler Shaffer has written a thought-provoking piece on how the (thus far) successful escape of NSA leaker Edward Snowden reveals how the individual with his innumerable complex and ever-changing calculations and perceptions based on self-interest can triumph over the lumbering bureaucracy, which huffs and puffs and in the end falls back on its own weaknesses and contradictions. It is an uplifting tale for those of us feeling a bit saggy under the weight of the immensity of exposed leviathan.

US Military to Egypt?

Friday June 21, 2013

KCEN-TV is reporting (via Drudge) that a group of US soldiers from Fort Hood are preparing to deploy to Egypt in a riot control capacity and to "protect" Egypt's border with Israel.

The brief report raises far more questions than it answers, such as why the US military is protecting the Israel/Egypt border, whether this actually means the US military is helping enforce the Israeli blockade of the Gaza strip, and why the US military is being used to defend the Egyptian regime in the case of civil unrest.

Government's Gun Law Ruse to Access Mental Health Records

Wednesday June 19, 2013

Your appointment with a psychiatrist or admission to a mental health facility may now be included in United States and state government databases. What happened to the protection of medical privacy? The United States government and some state governments adopted legislation directing that mental health issues can bar people from owning guns. But, you protest, you neither own a gun nor intend to buy a gun. It doesn't matter. The government will still put your information in the database, just in case.

New Tourism Opportunities in Egypt

Tuesday June 18, 2013

Post Arab Spring Egypt is a barrel of laughs.

Just over two years ago the president glowingly praised the US-assisted Arab Spring, claiming a triumph of US-style values. He reaffirmed American exceptionalism and his "firm belief that America’s interests are not hostile to people’s hopes; they’re essential to them."

But things haven't turned out so well. In Luxxor, home of the most important ancient Egyptian treasures, for example, US-allied president Mummahad Morsi has just appointed as new governor a member of the Gamaa Islamiya terrorist group, which which was responsible for the 1997 massacre of 58 tourists.

Who is Ben Rhodes?

Monday June 17, 2013

Everyone is wondering who is Ben Rhodes, a 30-something who ascended from literally nowhere to be what seems a main driving force behind Obama's foreign policy. He is credited with convincing the president to embrace the Arab Spring, convincing the president to bomb Libya, and, now, convincing the president to start yet another war, this time against Syria.

Who is he? How did a 24-year old aspiring fiction-writer in 2002 suddenly become one of the drafters of not only the 9/11 Commission report but also the Iraq Study Group Report? Then move on to Obama's presidential campaign as a speechwriter and then to Deputy National Security Advisor, from where he announced the beginning of a US war on Syria while the president met with supporters in the East Room of the White House? Those familiar with Washington know that such miraculous ascents rarely happen on their own and are equally rarely the result of pure, raw talent.

Chemical Weapons 'Discovery' in Syria Opens Door for US Bombs

Thursday June 13, 2013

Barely a week after President Obama announced the ascendance of the left-neocon, humanitarian interventionist cultists Susan Rice and Samantha Power to the top of his foreign policy team, and in a time of choking scandal, alas a light at the end of the tunnel has appeared for the Obama regime: his old friend war!
