SAYS IT ALL- THE JEW OF NEW YORK- WEARING -I LOVE NEW YORK IN ARABIC
Robin Williams, wearing a shirt that says “I
love New York” in Arabic.
Robin Williams Peace Plan
by Robin Williams (an
archive of great patriotic E-mails, 2009)
I see a lot of people yelling for
peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here’s one plan:
1) The US will apologize to the
world for our “interference” in their affairs, past & present. You know,
Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of
those “good ‘ole’ boys”, we will never “interfere” again.
2) We will withdraw our troops
from all over the world, starting with Germany, South Korea, the Middle East,
and the Philippines. They don’t want us there. We would station troops at our
borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.
3) All illegal aliens have 90
days to get their affairs together and leave. We’ll give them a free trip home.
After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately,
regardless of whom or where they are. They’re illegal!!! France will welcome
them.
4) All future visitors will be
thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!!! No
one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in. If you don’t like it there,
change it yourself and don’t hide here. Asylum would never be available to
anyone. We don’t need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.
5) No foreign “students” over age
21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don’t attend classes, they get a
“D” and it’s back home baby.
6) The U.S. will make a strong
effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing
nonpolluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in
the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while.
7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other
oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don’t like it, we
go someplace else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About
a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)
8) If there is a famine or other
natural catastrophe in the world, we will not “interfere.” They can pray to
Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides most
of what we give them is stolen or given to the army. The people who need it
most get very little, if anything.
9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an
isolated island someplace. We don’t need the spies and fair weather friends
here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for
illegal aliens.
10) All Americans must go to
charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us “Ugly Americans” any
longer. The Language we speak is ENGLISH..learn it…or LEAVE…Now, isn’t that a
winner of a plan?
The Statue of Liberty is no
longer saying “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.” She’s got a
baseball bat and she’s yelling, "You want a piece of me?"
If you agree, pass this link around....

APRIL 11, 2015- JUST IN-
And soon enough... coming 2 a country near u...
Are we watching the opening act of an Islamic world
war?
By Jonathan Manthorpe

The
prospect of a 1,400-year-old religious dispute turning into a region-wide
Middle East war is building after Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei on Thursday poured scorn on his Saudi Arabian rivals, accusing the
absolute monarchy of committing genocide in Yemen.
Khamenei’s
verbal bile adds rancour to what is already a proxy war across much of the
Middle East between adherents of the Sunni, or traditional version of Islam
championed by Saudi Arabia, and the Shiites led by Khamenei and senior Muslim
clerics in Iran.
Surrogates
for the two factions are already fighting in Lebanon, Syria and Iraq, where
Canadian air and ground forces are in a de facto alliance with Iran, fighting
the radical and murderous Sunni Islamic State group.
But Yemen
is now the focus of this conflict as Saudi Arabia leads a coalition of Gulf
States using air power to try to halt a drive to take over the country by
Shiite Houthis, supported and armed by Iran. As well as arming the Houthis,
Tehran is reported to have dispatched several thousand of its own soldiers to
fight alongside its fellow Shiites. And this week Tehran added to the military
build-up by sending a destroyer and supply ship to the waters off the coast of
Yemen “to protect Iranian shipping from piracy.”
The World
Health Organization says at least 600 people have been killed and over 100,000
displaced now that the Houthis have captured the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, and are
close to occupying the economically crucial port city of Aden.
In
response, the Saudi coalition is contemplating a land invasion. But these plans
ran into a pothole today when the Pakistani parliament voted unanimously to reject a Saudi
request to send troops to join the invasion. The parliament slightly
diluted its rejection by adding that if the Houthis invade Saudi Arabia and
threaten the most holy Muslim sites in Mecca and Medina, then Islamabad will
give Riyadh military aid.
The
rejection is a blow to Saudi Arabia on two counts. Riyadh, which has an
expensively-equipped army that lacks actual fighting experience (other than
suppressing domestic dissent), desperately wanted contingents of battle-hardened
Pakistani troops. The Pakistanis have years of experience fighting Taliban
insurgent militias, much like the Houthis, in mountainous desert terrain
similar to that of Yemen.
The
second problem for the Saudis is access to Pakistan’s nuclear weapons. While
Iran has for two decades been working to acquire the capacity to make an atomic
bomb, Riyadh has regularly threatened to start its own nuclear development
program, but has done nothing serious about it. The view of many outside
military observers has been that Riyadh has counted on having access, if need
be, to the large stockpile of nuclear weapons in predominantly Sunni Pakistan,
the development of which Saudi Arabia helped finance.
Pakistan’s refusal to get involved in Yemen may now prompt Saudi Arabia
to embark on a nuclear development program of its own. If it does, other major
players in the Middle East — such as Egypt and Turkey — may follow suit.
Pakistan’s
refusal to get involved in Yemen may now prompt Saudi Arabia to review this
strategy and perhaps embark on a nuclear development program of its own. If it
does, other major players in the Middle East — such as Egypt and Turkey — may
follow suit.
In his
televised condemnation of Saudi Arabia’s actions in Yemen on Thursday,
Ayatollah Khamenei also focused on the nuclear issue. His speech was his first
response to the April 2 framework agreement between Tehran and the United
Nations-designated P5+1 group (the five permanent members of the UN Security
Council — the United States, Russia, China, Britain and France — plus Germany)
on containment and international regulation of Iran’s nuclear development program.
Khamenei
poured cold water on the agreement, which has been applauded by the Washington
administration of President Barack Obama, and even by many people on the
streets of Tehran, as a turning point in the decades-old dispute. Washington
says the deal guarantees Tehran will not be able to make nuclear weapons. In
return, sanctions eventually will be lifted as Tehran complies with the deal,
Iran’s economy will be revived and the country will return to the community of
nations.
Khamenei,
however, says Tehran should only sign the deal if all sanctions currently
imposed on Iran by the U.S., the UN and the European Union are lifted
immediately. This is a non-starter in Europe and in Washington, where a key
element in Obama’s attempts to sell the agreement is that sanctions will only
be lifted incrementally as Iran’s compliance with restrictions on its nuclear
program is verified.
Iran and
the P5+1 group are due to meet again in June to start hammering out the details
of the timetable for Iran to give up its capacity to enrich uranium to a level
where it can be used to make nuclear weapons.
The
parallel agenda for the withdrawal of sanctions is not the only dispute on
which this whole deal could still collapse. Khamenei insisted in his speech
that while officials from the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency will be
allowed in, “Iran’s military sites cannot be inspected under the excuse of
nuclear supervision.” Yet without inspection of military sites, the whole deal
becomes nonsense.
As the
proxy wars with Saudi Arabia inch closer and closer to direct conflict, Tehran
is less and less likely to want to deny itself the capacity to make nuclear
weapons. Not least of its worries is that, despite Iran’s significant
diplomatic and military clout in the Middle East, Shiite Muslims make up only
about 10 per cent of adherents to Islam. Shiites are the majority in Iran,
Iraq, Yemen and some of the Gulf States, but the big legions of Sunnis are with
Saudi Arabia.
The
Sunni-Shiite split in Islam was born immediately after the death of founding
Prophet Muhammad in 632 AD. None of Muhammad’s sons survived him, so there was
an immediate dispute about who should succeed to lead the Caliphate, the
political and religious government of Islam. Sunnis think that Abu Bakr, the
father of Muhammad’s wife Aisha, was Muhammad’s rightful successor. Shiites
believe that Muhammad divinely ordained his cousin and son-in-law Ali to be the
next Caliph.
These two
factions have, by and large, lived peacefully side by side for nearly a
millennium and a half — but now, the forces of regional power politics
have adopted this old divide as a call to battle.
