The latest rumor: A outrageous as it sounds the latest rumor is that the governments of the US and Saudi Arabia are in advanced talks on transferring Osama bin Laden and his Al Qaeda fighting force out of Afghanistan and Pakistan to a new (Undisclosed) location.

Osama bin Laden’s removal would clear Taliban leader Mullah Omar’s path to a negotiated end to the war in Afghanistan.

In my opinion: By Gordon A Hunsaker

Understanding that General Petraeus is himself the object of an intense sustained information campaign and realizing that, as a matter of fact, every Coalition partner he speaks to has set as a primary objective the subversion of American standards of free speech through their direct legal subordination to Islamic law, when the General states that the exercise (of even unseemly) free speech by Americans in America should be subordinated to Islamic law of slander, lest Americans be killed, the standard he is speaking to is based on Islamic law – EVEN IF HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS.

The threats to kill should be understood to reflect the actual underlying hostility that not only drives al-Qaeda, the Taliban, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Muslims actually protesting – to include those who will be sanctioned when they kill, but the OIC Member States that facilitate such activities in furtherance of the 10-Year Plan. Such campaigns reflect the actual hostility of the OIC – an entity that is not at all friendly, tolerant or moderate. Is there any understanding that the General is putting in question the very rights he is there to protect and defend?

The subordination of US Free Speech rights to Islamic law under threat of lethal jihadi attacks should be understood to be a declaration of hostility by those making such demands against the rights we swore to protect and defend!

Is there any understanding that his comment, along with State’s – along with a successfully manipulated media orientation – is designed to set up a de facto standard that aligns, and is intended to align, American free speech with OIC slander standards – themselves directly based on Islamic law?

Because our position in Afghanistan is already compromised, with Karzai already shifting, is the General saying it becomes more difficult to defeat the enemy if the enemy gets mad at us?

Or is he acknowledging that those who profess to be our friends – aren’t?

As with the Cartoon crisis, there seems to be little understanding that we are experiencing yet another full-on information campaign designed to undermine our commitment to principle Western values, key human rights, and an enumerated Constitutional right.

This is hardly just about a small town/small church preacher.

Just ask, how is it that most Americans’ understanding of this issue is not because they heard about a minister’s plan to burn Qur’ans, but rather from the realization that the entire Muslim world is violently protesting that event all around the world, in an obviously concerted way.

Just how is it that those Afghanis who rocked General Petraeus because they protested – who generally live lives of disinterest in and are fully cut-off from news of the outside world – could coordinate, protest, and riot – just like other groups around the Muslim World at the same time on the same issue, concerning some small town rural American ministry that, just like the Cartoon crisis, makes clear they retain the right to kill if the Minister does not stand down.

Recast to account for the information operation aspects fully driving this event, at what point can General Petraeus’s actions – or those of the State Department – begin to reflect the enforcement (even if unknowingly) of a hostile Islamic slander standard directed against a United States Citizen inside the United States?

These OIC “slander campaigns” will ALWAYS be calibrated against issues like the Minister’s Qur’an burning or the Cartoons of Muhammad.

And they will always be about getting principals in the West to support Islamic standards, first de facto and then de jure, against their own interests.

To stop them, it is important to understand the actual nature of the assaults and to get ahead of them.

If U.S. free speech standards in this country shift on such issues due to intra-American sensitivities, themselves based on genuine Constitutional principles, that would be one thing.

But if they shift to bring U.S. free speech standards into alignment with OIC standards, BY OUR HAND no less (ala the stated Muslim Brotherhood strategy to get us to subvert ourselves) – that would be an entirely different matter altogether!

Pakistani Brigadier S. K. Malik, in his Quranic Concept of War, stated that the object of jihad is the destruction of our faith in, among other things, our leadership.

The Arizona Lawman’s News Exclusive Report August 16, 2010,
On Aug. 1, Reza Baruni, the father of Iran’s military UAV program, died in a mighty explosion that destroyed his closely secured villa, DEBKAfile’s military and intelligence sources reveal. He lived in the high-scale neighborhood secluded for high Iranian officials in the southern town of Ahwaz in oil-rich Khuzestan.

Very few people in the country outside the top leaders and air force knew about his job and so his death was not generally appreciated as fatally stalling Iran’s military drone program for many years.

The official version produced the old standby of an exploding gas canister as the cause of the blast. However, The Arizona Lawman’s News intelligence source report that bombs were planted in at least three corners of the building and expertly rigged to explode simultaneously and bring the ceilings crashing down on its occupants. The bomber must therefore have had access to the Baruni home.

The authorities tended to fix the blame on underground organizations representing the local Arab-speaking Ahwazis’ fight for self-rule against the repressive regime. Some suspect certain Gulf Arab emirates’ intelligence services commissioned the Baruni murder.

Hiding behind his public face as a retired army major, the dead man created Iran’s program for manufacturing military drones from scratch and trained a new generation of engineers and planners to take over. But despite his efforts and the hefty sums Iran invested in the industry, the product never really came up to the advanced standards achieved by a very few countries.

Five months ago, US Defense Security Robert Gates told the Senate Appropriations Committee. “Countries like Iran are developing their own UAVs and already have a UAV capability. That is a concern because it is one of these areas where, if they chose to – in Iraq, in Afghanistan – they could create difficulties for us.”

There is also a growing concern that drone technology could be sold to terrorist groups.
Gates was responding to a statement last February by the Iranian Air Force’s coordination deputy, Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh, that Iran had successfully tested the prototype of its first domestically-built “stealth drone” calling it Sofeh Mahi (Manta Ray).”

He boasted that the drone, “due to its physical attributes and the material used in its body, cannot be detected by any radar.” But he also introduced a cautious note by explaining that the production process would not be rushed, as such complex systems need thorough analysis and exhaustive testing.

The Arizona Lawman’s News sources: Reza Baruni’s death will most likely put Iran’s ambitious project for developing sophisticated UAVs in mothballs in the foreseeable future.

The Socialist Party of America announced in their October 2009 newsletter that 70 Congressional democrats currently belong to their caucus.

This admission was recently posted on Scribd.com:

Arizona contributes the following members to this despicable group:

1. Hon. Ed Pastor (AZ-04)
2. Hon. Raúl M. Grijalva (AZ-07)

(A Reading of Rep. Grijalva’s writings and speeches read more like those of a Trotskyite-Communists than a Socialists.)

Political views such as these have no place in US or Arizona politics—vote these Commies out of office!

Trotskyism is the theory of Marxism (Read Communism especially as practiced in Mexico) as advocated by Leon Trotsky. Trotsky considered himself an orthodox Marxist and Bolshevik-Leninist, arguing for the establishment of a vanguard party. His politics differed sharply from Stalinism, most prominently in opposing Socialism in One Country, which he argued was a break with proletarian internationalism, and in his belief in an authentic dictatorship of the proletariat based on democratic principles, rather than an unaccountable bureaucracy.

(NOTE: Leon Trotsky was also a major player in implementing the artificially induced famine in Ukraine in 1932 & 1933 ordered by Lenin and Stalin, during which seven million Ukrainians were starved to death.)

Both of these Clowns need to be voted out of office

WASHINGTON — At first, the news from Yemen on May 25 sounded like a modest victory in the campaign against terrorists: an airstrike had hit a group suspected of being operatives for Al Qaeda in the remote desert of Marib Province, birthplace of the legendary queen of Sheba.

But the strike, it turned out, had also killed the province’s deputy governor, a respected local leader who Yemeni officials said had been trying to talk Qaeda members into giving up their fight. Yemen’s president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, accepted responsibility for the death and paid blood money to the offended tribes.

The strike, though, was not the work of Mr. Saleh’s decrepit Soviet-era air force. It was a secret mission by the United States military, according to American officials, at least the fourth such assault on Al Qaeda in the arid mountains and deserts of Yemen since December.
