The New York Times: Has an Editorial that is a talking point for Democrats when discussing the failure of the Super Committee, the article states the following on the failure, “ ..because Republicans refused to raise taxes on the rich…calling for the Bush tax cuts to be permanent… ”. The bloated liberal NYT will never support cuts in the welfare state of the US, its base is Hollywood liberals who have more money that real world experience, they think if you tax the rich just a bit more then a bit more all the problems of the world will go away, well PEOPLE that’s BS, it always was, at the end of the day its the Middle Class that gets the hit, and it’s a basic reason folks, there are more people in the Middle Class, thus can sustain high taxes, the American ideal is about becoming rich, Hollywood liberals just want themselves to get rich by acting, hardly your local small business, or your inventor, all actors have to do is hit their marks, not hit the set, and be semi sober or not on drugs on set. The art of acting is making something real, after a time liberal actors start to believe the rubbish they say, then never meet real people, to many YES men around or women. Lets recall PEOPLE the NYT covered for Stalin, it lost its Judgement a long time ago folks.

Egyptian Spring or Army PR ?
BBC News Live: Reports the Egyptian Army has stated it will hand power over by July of 2012. Also there are protests beyond Cario, in Alexandria and Suez. If this blog was a protester it would not be happy, as the liberal NYT reported yesterday the Muslim Brotherhood has been slow to support the protesters as they expect to WIN big in the upcoming Parliament Elections. Thus in the interest of the Army and the Brotherhood one way or another for the protesters to hold off, the Army as the can make sure than any power transfer is a symbolic and NOT substantive, as the BBC’s Jeremy Bowen reports the Egyptian Army controls 40% of the economy of Egypt, thus the elites are not going to give up power without a fight. The Brotherhood wants political legitimacy, they want to be the largest Party in the new state, even if the Army prevents them having real power.
Afghanistan Front News
MOD: Has announced the name of the UK Soldier that was killed on Sunday in Afghanistan, the Soldier was “ Private Thomas Christopher Lake, 1st Battalion The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment ”. Our thoughts are with the family of Private Lake.
UK Coalition Government and DEBT
Telegraph: Reports that the Coalition Government could fail to eliminate the structural deficit as planned for by the end of the Parliament in 2015. Thus folks the Coalition has a massive political problem, the Unions are on the street at the end of the month over the present cuts, what if the Coalition has to bring in even harsher cuts as faced by Ireland, Greece and Italy, what if the basic structure of the UK welfare state has to be reformed, what if you as in Ireland have to pay form some health aspects, what if you are means tested for the use of the NHS. The Coalition might have to look at actually not giving benefits to people under 25, that is out there idea folks, there would be exceptions of course, but that kind of radical thinking is needed, the UK could face ten years of low to no growth and austerity, come back Harold Wilson. At some point the Conservative Party might decide that it needs a political scapegoat, no matter the Lib Dems, thus the EU, have a Referendum at the same time as the General Election about getting out of the EU. It would kick the Lib Dems out of the system, the Labour Party would be split, and Conservative Party might just win a election with an overall majority. At the end of the day Conservative Party is about winning folks.
Obama on Iran
President Obama has announced new sanctions on Iran, the President stated the following in a statement, “ Today, my Administration has taken yet another step to further isolate and penalize Iran for its refusal to live up to its international obligations regarding its nuclear program. ….New sanctions target for the first time Iran’s petrochemical sector, prohibiting the provision of goods, services, and technology to this sector and authorizing penalties against any person or entity that engages in such activity. They expand energy sanctions, making it more difficult for Iran to operate, maintain, and modernize its oil and gas sector. They also designate 11 individuals and entities for their role in assisting Iran’s prohibited nuclear programs, including its enrichment and heavy water programs. And today we have taken the next significant step to escalate the pressure by acting under Section 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act, identifying for the first time, the entire Iranian banking sector – including the Central Bank of Iran – as a threat to governments or financial institutions that do business with Iranian banks. We are joined in this action by the United Kingdom and Canada, who have also acted to cut off Iran from their financial systems today. I welcome these steps and encourage all of our partners to do the same….Iran has chosen the path of international isolation. As long as Iran continues down this dangerous path, the United States will continue to find ways, both in concert with our partners and through our own actions to isolate and increase the pressure upon the Iranian regime. ”. In a odd way folks this statement might be the most under report story of the day, in effect Iran is out of the World Banking system, the Tehran Government will find it hard to funnel cash to buy the nuclear material it needs, this should cause pain to the people of Iran, but also might get them out on the street, lets hope if they do Obama does not waffle like the last time. As stated in previous post one can postulate that Israel has made it clear to the West, the clock is ticking, get something done or else, lets very direct here folks, Israel is a nuclear armed power, it has tested missiles that can reach Iran, if that clock reach the dark hour of 12, Israel will hit folks, Mossad the Israeli Intelligence Agency can only do so much folks using covert means, there might come a time when Israel can not wait, as occurred in 1981 with Iraq and 2007 with Syria.
