Why Did McCain Rescue Hagel?
The American Spectator ^ | 2.17.13 | Aaron Goldstein

Posted on 02/17/2013 7:59:17 PM PST by man_in_tx

Why on earth did John McCain just rescue Chuck Hagel’s nomination?

Why did he go on Meet the Press this morning to say that Chuck Hagel was going to get confirmed as Secretary of Defense?

McCain argued that Hagel had the votes to be confirmed and that he didn’t want the process to be delayed further.

During the confirmation hearings, Hagel sat there like a wimp completely unable to defend himself. Yet he will be charged with defending the country. The senate is useless. And now that the rats have their election stealing mechanisms in place, they’re confident they will put the bi%#ch back in power.

Au contraire mi amigo ( frog mex lingo there) Hagel is charged with dismantling the military. His task is to destroy, not to build or maintain.

Further.....Having no enemies, our country needs no defending. We have laws and lawyers perfectly capable of providing the defense.

Well Norm, there were many good choices last Nov., including my 3rd or 4th preference Romney. In Texas we had the privledge of Cruz.

There is no purity in politics, it a profession of compromise. Purity is only available in dictatorships and utopia.
As to “purist”, many, many here and elsewhere consider “purists” as giving us a 2nd nobama term.

I think we place too much trust in the idea of our enemies being divided. We thought that sunni and shia Muslims would never work together, but the evidence actually says that they have figured out that “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”.

We need look no further than the alliance between Ahmadinejad and Chavez to see that world communists and world Islamists have figured out the same thing. Or the fact that North Korean nukes had to be destroyed in Syria by Israel. The purposes and methods of communists and Islamists line up very well when the subject is the US - considered by both to be the Great Satan.

And Soros, who has always been a communist, has said that he hopes the US loses the “war on terror” because then both America and capitalism would be destroyed, which he believes is his chief duty as “God” (this guy is a serious sicko - an abomination that brings desolation, if you catch my meaning).

After the Sept 2008 run on the bank - specifically shortly after GW Bush told the world that Armageddon was upon us if we didn’t pass TARP - the communists (Chavez and Castro) said, “Since CAPITALISM HAS FAILED, the world should try communism.”

And world Islamists (Zawahiri and Ahmadinejad) said, “SINCE CAPITALISM HAS FAILED, the world should try Islamic finance.” (And indeed, within a week of the run on the bank Bernanke and Paulsen were leading seminars on Islamic finance).

Kevin Freeman has a book, “Secret Weapon”, which a review I read says details how it has been the plan of communists to manipulate the system so they could say that “capitalism has failed”. And if you’re familiar with the Cloward-Piven Strategy to destroy America from within, you know that was precisely the plan of the Columbia University communists - the “peaceful” wing to complement the Weather Underground. Frances Fox Piven was one of the founders of “The New Party” - the communists’ plan to use Chicago politics to basically take over the parties and turn them communist - and shortly before the 2008 election somebody managed to find in the hidden layers of the internet records showing that Barack Obama was a signed member of The New Party. The Cloward-Piven Plan had 2 legal planks that were necessary to be accomplished in order to destroy US elections and the US economy - the Motor Voter Law, and the Community Reinvestment Act to create the subprime mortgage mess that started this big crisis. Those were about the only 2 things Barack Obama ever did with his Saudi-funded Harvard law degree.

And Bettina Viviano, the producer of a film for the Hillary people, says she was told by high-ups in Hillary’s campaign that George Soros had gone to both Hillary and Obama in the 2008 primary and asked if they were on board with his plan to destroy the US economy. Obama was; Hillary wasn’t. Hillary and Bill have both been on board with Soros’ GOAL. I suspect that what they balked at was allying themselves with the Islamists. Hillary apparently was convinced to give up those qualms, because she’s sucked up to the Islamists quite nicely, even to the point of giving Ghadaffi’s weapons to Al Qaeda and other Islamist terrorists. I suppose she thinks that once the freedom-loving peoples are eliminated the communists and Islamists can duke it out over whether women can have abortions and be lesbian, or whether they will be forbidden from driving cars, saying “no” to their husbands, or counting as a credible witness if a man contradicts her in court...

Freeman’s book tells about both communists and Islamists talking amongst themselves about an act of economic terrorism that was due to happen in the run-up before the run on the bank in Sept 2008. Our intel in Egypt(?) was told in early 2008 (IIRC) that the Islamists were planning an economic act of terrorism against the US.

Ghadaffi had a public speech where he said that world Islamists had contributed to Obama’s 2008 campaign (and the evidence has borne that out in 2012 also) and hoped Obama would not “forget” his Muslim faith (I wonder how the timing of Ghadaffi’s speech matches with when Obama told Stephanoupolos about “my Muslim faith”.) And sure enough, Obama had been in office for only about a year when he privately (like he thought he was being private when he told communist Medvedev that he would have “more flexibility” after the 2012 election) told the Egyptian ambassador that the Muslim world needed to be patient with him because though he was and still is a Muslim who supports the Muslim agenda, he had to first get Obamacare passed before he could move on to the Muslim agenda. The agenda that all sects of Islam agree on are the destruction of the US and Israel and the institution of worldwide sharia.

Obamacare lays the groundwork for Muslims to be able to tithe to “charity” that calls itself a healthcare cooperative and be exempt from Obamacare, while the “infidels” are forced to act against their religious conscience AND pay a “tax”. IOW, Muslims can support “charity” (which has always been a front for terrorism financing) and get out of paying the “tax” that the infidels are forced to pay - the “infidel tax” being one of the planks of sharia.

At the same time, Obamacare will get rid of doctors, at the same time as Obama’s “czars” are making medicines scarce. This happens at the same time that Iran was sending Hamas and Hezbollah operatives in direct unchecked flights to Venezuela (which has also agreed to allow Iran to launch missiles from there, which gives Iranian missiles access to US airspace - the southern airspace soon to be left unmonitored because of Obama’s sequestration). The unchecked flights would allow WMD’s such as biological weapons from both Saddam Hussein and from Syria to make it into Venezuela and be brought into the US through the soft southern underbelly that Eric Holder has been suing Arizona to keep wide open (even whilst Holder arms the Mexican drug cartels which are allies of Islamic terrorism and have been helping to smuggle terrorists into the US). So at the very time that Obama is destroying our healthcare system, his allies are very possibly/probably moving biological WMD’s into every major US city to await the signal for them to be released on an unsuspecting US public. And US government agencies are stocking up on a LOT of hollow-point bullets in anticipation of SOME KIND of massive upheaval.

There’s more, too, but suffice it to say that it is dangerous for us to assume that our enemies have not united against us - and especially when there is abundant evidence that they HAVE.

Obama’s very DNA (as far as we’ve been told) is the union between communism and Islamism (just like Obama’s Kenyan family, including his cousin Raila Odinga the Marxist whom Obama campaigned for and who signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Kenyan Islamists to have them help get him into power through violence if Odinga couldn’t steal the election - in return for the institution of sharia in Kenya, which was accomplished in a new Kenyan Constitution passed through PR bought by millions of US taxpayer dollars after Obama took office in the US).

And Obama’s entire life has been spent with and groomed by those 2 enemies of America. The postman of Bill Ayers’ parents heard Mrs. Ayers say that the man the postman was introduced to (Barack Obama) was a foreign student that the communist Ayers family was “helping” get through school (which was during the time that Obama was at Harvard). Percy Sutton has publicly said that Obama’s Harvard schooling was financed by a Saudi prince. So the communist Ayers family provided the logistical and moral support and the Saudi Islamist prince provided the funding for Obama’s Harvard degree, which he then used on only 2 things: the 2 planks of the Cloward-Piven Plan to destroy America from within.

Since Obama got Obamacare passed and promised to work on the Muslim agenda, we have lost 2 allies in the war on terror - Ghadaffi and Mubarak, who were replaced by hardcore Islamist regimes. Afghanistan has been handed over to the Taliban, supposedly under the idea that if they are busy terrorizing Afghanistanis (and recruiting more and more terrorists...) they won’t have time to terrorize us. Our former ally Pakistan - which has nukes - has 97% of its public hating the US now. Four Americans were killed in a terrorist attack on our embassy outpost in Libya - while our POTUS chose his beauty sleep instead of even caring about those Americans - and there has been no fallout for Obama, who was even re-elected as the parents of the slain men pleaded for answers. That has not gone unnoticed by the Muslim world, which smells blood in the water and is emboldened by weakness. Iran either has or is very close to having nukes, and Israel knows she is totally alone in the world except for her Lord. McCain is ensuring that an enemy of Israel is installed as SecDef.

The world is a totally different place than it was in August of 2008. The evidence overwhelmingly supports the hypothesis that world communism and world Islamism are working together to destroy this country and the freedom it used to stand for. I think we ignore the evidence at our extreme peril.
