I took a few days off from work, one, as a personal celebration of my b-day, and two, I needed some down time from the job. I wanted to as well, do only two more postings and make it to 900, but as with all plans….once the execution order is given….everything goes to snafu.
898 was supposed to be about the military, I’m making a battle field adjustment and using 898 to point of a few observations from on top of the tallest tree. B.E.V. is watching.
Today, we heard two points of view concerning GITMO and the terrorist detained there. I read this and if it wasn’t for the chair under by arse….
President Barack Obama declared defiantly Thursday that the U.S. "went off course" in fighting terrorism over the past eight years, and said his policies will "better protect" the country against al Qaeda.
What policies are those…”Mister President?”. ‘We The People’…would like to know…and I imagine, the troops in the field, military and civilian, fighting this war the past seven years plus…would like to really know. I guess Pres. Obama knows much more than all those who have experienced this war up close and personal, and Obama has the answers.
I watched Operation Valkyrie yesterday, and I couldn’t help but to think that this is the direction this Nation is taking. All the same ingredients are there. Both Nations have a leader who was really not ‘born’ in the Nation they preside over. The ruling ‘party’ has usurped the ‘Constitution’ at every junction to ensure their dominance. The ‘media’ is controlled by the ruling ‘party’. Neighborhood ‘organizations’ are being set up to watch over everyone…pitting neighbors against neighbors. Both Nations have a ruling party that believes that the ‘State’ has the right ideas not The People. The ‘State’ has taken control of the banks and largest corporations. The military, and National law enforcement agencies, being dutiful to ‘Nation’ will only blindly follow orders unto the destruction of the Nation.
Today, the entire DNC Congress backed Nancy Pelosi over the CIA. If that is not telling of the coming future…..you must be totally blind and stupid. The Obama Campaign said little of Law Enforcement. Now, that they are in ‘power’…..law enforcement has taken a back seat. Now, that they are in ‘power’……this Nation has come more divided than since 1859. Now, that they are in ‘power’…… the World knows ‘they’ in ‘power’ are a joke and can be easily duped and manipulated and are being ‘punk’d’ daily. Iran did it ..again…with their latest ballistic missile test yesterday.
Back to ‘law enforcement’….New York City not only has some of the highest and insane taxes in the USA….New York City, is now becoming a crime mecca.

Downtown Manhattan, the city's party mecca, has been hit by an alarming spike in vicious street violence.
UPDATE: Kelly Says NYPD Is 'Aggressively Investigating' Crime Spike Report
Assaults in Greenwich Village lead the frightening upturn, with a whopping 43 percent increase so far this year compared with the same period in 2008.
"I've never seen it like this before -- never, ever," said G. Simon Chafik, a female photographer who has lived in Manhattan for 15 years.
"I'm a big New Yorker. New York is one of the safest cities. [But] I'm beginning to question that."
Other hot Manhattan neighborhoods tainted by the crime wave include TriBeCa, with a nearly 17 percent jump, and Gramercy, which has seen a 24 percent increase in assaults.
The danger zones also include the East Village from East 14th Street to Houston Street and the East River to Broadway, which has seen a 27.7 percent rise, from 47 to 60 assaults.
The Lower East Side has experienced a whopping 30 percent hike in assaults.
One area appearing to buck the trend is Chelsea, which has recorded a 17 percent drop in such attacks.
Deputy Police Commissioner Paul Browne attributed the crime jump largely to the neighborhoods' huge restaurant and bar scenes, which attract large numbers of late-night revelers.
He said the NYPD was addressing the issue with beefed-up police presence and additional undercover officers.
Residents say the recent violence in the popular West Village is particularly frightening because it had been so rare.
"I feel anxious -- there are muggings on my block," said writer Warren Ransom, 50.
The victims even include cops. One case involved a vicious anti-gay attack on an off-duty NYPD officer.
An eight-year veteran police officer needed six stitches to close a head wound after Andrew Klein, 31, allegedly accosted him while the cop was walking with a woman on West 14th Street near Sixth Avenue at 5:30 a.m. Friday.
The victim identified himself as a cop, and Klein retorted, "I don't give a f- - -," according to court documents.
A day earlier, a man from Buffalo was brutally beaten and left unconscious at a Greenwich Village intersection by four young thugs, one of whom proudly declared, "I hit him good."
Klein's lawyer, Daniel Kron, told The Post that his client was merely involved in a fight and did not know the other man was a cop.

Anyone seen ‘The Mayor’? The ‘Governor’? of NYC and NY State respectively? Democrats in charge and this is what happens to a great city and State. And it’s now happening to our Nation.
Just reading all of the headlines gives me a headache. Obama blames Bush for all of the problems he is unable to handle, which seems to be everything. Obama is a great example of ‘be careful for what you wish for’. The current ‘power’ structure as well is an example too……’the DNC is in charge…they ‘own’ it all. The DNC has had control of Congress since 2006, and now they have the Presidency too. So….why really is the United States sinking daily into an abyss?!
