Israel and Egypt - 2nd Term Blues

The New York Times: Has the following in its Editorial, " Israel has been vigorously lobbying the United States and Europe to back the generals. ".

Lets Get Real:

This is typical of the left wing NYT, it is using its anti Israeli stand as a way to attack Egypt, well lets see, who is closer, Israel or the elite out of touch NYT to Egypt, who base their security on a stable Egypt, the answer is of course Israel, the Egyptian Army has kept its word when it comes to the Camp David Peace Deal between Israel and Egypt, the NYT are either naive or are fools, or both, if US cuts Egypt adrift, either Russia or other local powers could come in to support the Egypt.  Then when the US is out in the COLD the very same elite will be shoving Egypt up the ego of the Oval.    It has been reported that the Oval has frozen aid to Egypt, thus the Oval has shown weakness, even Jimmy Carter looks good when compared to Obama, who would have thought this blog would write that in a post. 

The Oval and Egypt - 2nd Term Blues

CNN - Politics: Reports that the "  U.S. temporarily holds up some military aid to Egypt ".

Lets Get Real:

This is a massive mistake by the Oval, as the article notes the US has " preferential use of the Suez Canal...It also has overflight rights, which gives the U.S. military the ability to fly over Egypt on the way to bases in the region. ".  Thus folks what happens when Saudi Arabia fills in the gap or even worse the Russians, the US will have lost a close ally, this move by the Oval is due to pressure by the US Senate, it shows how weak the Oval is, a great President would have taken the Congress on, made the case that Egypt is to important to US National Security to play games with, you can not have a 100 hundred Senators who think they are experts on Foreign Policy, this could backfire on the Oval folks, this is a massive mistake that could sink the 2nd Obama term. 

The Snowden Files - Snowden Case 3

Telegraph: Reports more on the Snowden case, " Police who detained the partner of a journalist under anti-terrorism laws seized encrypted computer files from the American whistleblower Edward Snowden, it has been claimed. ".

Lets Get Real:

The question that has to be asked why did the Police release the partner at the reporter at the centre of the Snowden case, the partner was carrying stolen US intelligence, but also intelligence that has implications for UK security.  At what point did UK and US national security become less important than freedom.  Are the rights of the individual more important than the safety of the majority of the people in both the US and the UK.   Lets be clear folks, press freedom is important, and this blog will fight to protect the right of papers and other news outfits to keep their Governments in line, but that line does not include the right of liberal newspapers to destroy the security of the the Homeland or the Realm.   Thus the political parties should come together and be critical of the press, what happens if there is another 9/11, 7/7. all because of the leaks by the press, press freedom yes folks, not press freedom at any expense.    Time for a D - NOTICE for the Guardian. 

Keeping Secrets and the Guardian - Snowden Case 2

Guardian: Reports on action by the Secret Service to prevent Snowden leaks by the Guardian, " ..two GCHQ security experts overseeing the destruction of hard drives in the Guardian's basement just to make sure there was nothing in the mangled bits of metal which could possibly be of any interest to passing Chinese agents.. ".

Lets Get Real: 

The UK Government should have gone in harder, placed a D notice weeks ago, threaten the Guardian with treason, or the Tax Man, make their lives hell, investigate any meeting with a invoice, check the accounts of reporters, press freedom can not come at the expense of the security of the State, think of how the terrorists have learned how to hide their meetings, how to make sure their plans do not come to light.    It can be argued that the NSA and GCHQ should have close down the web sites of the Guardian, NYT, and any other left wing media sites that did not listen to reason.   The terrorists, Russia must be laughing at the liberal self destructive nature of Western Democracy. 

UK Security vs. Press Freedom - Snowden Case

BBC News: Reports that David Miranda the partner of the Guardian reporter Glenn Greenwald is taking the UK to court to prevent the Police reading his electronic information.  

Lets Get Real:

The Snowden leaks have been some of the most damaging security dumps/leaks in decades.   Think if this had happened during World War 1 or 2, if reporters had leaked the date of D- Day, of the fact that the US and UK had broken enemies codes, think of the deaths it would have lead too, thus folks the UK Courts should hold up the right of the Police to stop stolen intelligence being leaked by US traitors and reports who do not understand the damage they are doing to UK and US National Security.     Do you think the modern Russian KGB would tolerate these kind of leaks, like hell, Mossad would be out of control.   The modern press should have freedom folks, but not freedom that helps terrorists kill people.  That is madness that leads to fall of Empires.
