Obama’s Phony Taliban Threat versus the Real Threat at Home


Taliban Windmills and U.S. War Games

The Taliban have never been a threat to Americans, except to the U.S. cyborg soldiers who have invaded their homeland. And they really aren’t much of a threat to them. USA Today says, “In all, 2.38 million Americans have served in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars so far. More than 1 million have deployed more than once.” 2,980 U.S. soldiers have died in Afghanistan and 4486 in Iraq. The chances of being killed are about 1 in 3000. (I understand that not all troops are combat troops.)

So it’s dangerous but just enough to attract the homicidal personality brought up on violent movies and video games, but not so dangerous to discourage him or her, since American women seem to want to get in on the killing. And it pays very well with lots of benefits. In other words, being a U.S. soldier isn’t as nearly as bad as being a U.S. coal miner.

My point is simply this: the Taliban have never been a threat to Americans who are not members of the U.S. forces occupying Afghanistan. And nowhere have I read that the Taliban (or any Afghan) had anything to do with the 9-11 attacks. Okay, so what is the big threat to Americans each and every day? Criminals, especially the thousands of Hispanic and black gang members. Each and every day I read about Hispanics and blacks engaged in criminal violence in San Diego County. This is the sort of thing I’m talking about:

From July 9 Union-Tribune San Diego, Public Safety

“Sheriff’s deputies on Sunday were searching for a man suspected of sexually assaulting a woman in Imperial Beach...

The woman described her attacker as a 6-foot-2-inch-tall black man in his 30s weighing about 170 pounds and wearing a white shirt and dark shorts, the officials said.”

From July 9 U-T San Diego, Public Safety

“Three People Robbed at Gunpoint; Suspect Arrested with Shotgun”

"Authorities arrested a man suspected of robbing three people at gunpoint early Thursday...

The victims, two men and a woman, told the deputies a man had pointed a rifle at them as they got out of a car and demanded their belongings.

Deputies searched the area and found 20-year-old Hernan Cruz, along with a loaded shotgun and a ski mask, in a yard down the street, Martinez said. Cruz was arrested on suspicion of robbery and assault with a deadly weapon."

From USA Today online:

“in announcing the indictments in the death of [U.S. Border Patrol] Agent Brian Terry, handed up in Tucson, the Justice Department offered rewards of $250,000 each for information leading to the arrest of the four suspects: Jesus Rosario Favela-Astorga, Ivan Soto-Barraza, Heraclio Osorio-Arellanes and Lionel Portillo-Meza. a fifth suspect, Manuel Osorio-arellanes, was arrested after the deadly shootout Dec. 14, in southern Arizona”
 
So movies like No Country for Old Men and Savages pretty much got America’s future right!

But it’s not just the Hispanic gangs and drug cartels. Today there was also an article on the crime epidemic in Chicago:

“(CBS News) CHICAGO - Violent crime in America has fallen for six straight years, with homicides last year down nearly 6 percent [Big deal!]. But in Chicago, there have been 275 homicides this year, most of them gang related. The nation's third-largest city had 17 shootings this past weekend alone.

At the Cook County Trauma Center in Chicago's Stroger Hospital, one ambulance after another delivers victims of the gang violence that just won't stop.

The unit treats about 1,500 gunshots and stabbings a year.”



Now I know that we white folks have plenty of criminals of our own, many of whom become priests, coaches, or sexually perverse serial killers like John Albert Gardner, who should have been euthanized. That means happy death. In other words, we all would have been happy if he had been executed. The thing is America already has plenty of criminals to deal with (2 million in prison and only god knows how many in jails, on parole or probation, or just haven’t been caught yet) and the number is growing. So we don’t need to be importing more.

The Real Terror Is Here, not over There

But Obombthem Obama would have us believe that the BIG THREAT lurks in the badlands of Afghanistan and Pakistan, as if sudden thousands of al-Qaeda and Taliban warriors will be invading the U.S. on hang gliders. It’s nonsense, but also BIG BUSINESS nonsense. Obombthem Obama is the present CEO of Military-Industrial Complex, Inc., a multi, multi billion dollar business funded by the American taxpayer. So it’s necessary to keep up the Orwellian hype that we must fight them over there so we don’t have to fight them here. But everyday in every American city Americans are having to fight or flee from them over here. This from


“However, the figures themselves are astounding for Brits used to around 600 murders per year. In 2010 - the latest year for which detailed statistics are available - there were 12,996 murders in the US. Of those, 8,775 were caused by firearms.”

In other words, more Americans were killed by guns in 2010 than have died in the Afghan and Iraq wars.

From the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data on the U.S. (2008): “Number of emergency department visits for assault: 1.8 million.”

Earning Blood Money while Americans Bleed

What America is doing over there is making a lot of money for the millions of employees of U.S. war industries, financed by U.S. taxpayers, while here Americans are feeling increasingly threatened by an ever increasing number of criminals, most coming not from over there but just south of the American border.

Would it make any difference if Mitt Romney became president? None whatsoever.
