What started as a focused-summary of suggested action-items grew exponentially [again] throughout

the past few days; thus, this comprises a succinct summary of the salient issues covered in the three
Blast e-mails emitted during the past few days [plus an extended essay unavailable on the Internet].
What has perhaps been implicit in the choice of hyperlinks is now explicit in this editorialized prcis;
therefore, this constitutes a Dear John-type letter/pledge regarding provision of extensive-references,
for compiling and formatting such a comprehensive set of topics is simply too time-consuming.

In many respects, this has been my contribution towards desirable goals [Zionism,
TEA-Party Movement, Kurdistan-promotion, Holocaust-Education]; nevertheless, it will
be assumed that the reader will now be able to juxtapose references by consulting
[time-permitting] major news-sites in PA [PoliticsPA and KeystoneReport], America
[Drudge and Breitbart], and Israel [DailyAlert, IMRA, DebkaFile, JPost, ArleneKushner,
PamelaGeller, RobertSpencer]. Essentially, having generated ~3K pages of tight
hyperlinks/graphics during the past year, its time to provide bottom-line info [and
then be poised to document suggested interventions, if/when challenged].

Yet, when key-issues are encountered [such as the need to expose a disingenuous news-source], they
will be tackled aggressively; overall, it will be assumed that the reader will provide anything felt to be
discordant with the points conveyed to ~1000 people [half on Facebook, although no effort has been
made to survey reactions]. Candidly, playing whack-a-mole with BHO during the upcoming two years
promises to be exhausting, inasmuch as it remains virtually impossible to find any area of agreement
with him, whatsoever. Quoting Godfather-III, Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.


International

Islamism: Global efforts must be mustered ASAP to fight establishment of a worldwide Caliphate, for
challenging Western Civilization by trying to destroy [physically and psychologically] the Judeo-Christian
Ethic constitutes a real and present danger, particularly noting the swath of efforts from Africa to Asia.

Israel: There must not be an immediate cease-fire [advocated by BHO, via chat this-a.m. with BB];
instead, Hamas must be dismembered while Gaza sustains minimal civilian-loss. IMHO, this conflict does
not demonstrate the ability to depend upon the Iron Dome [as has been touted], noting stats in
yesterdays IDF-summary [Since the beginning of Operation Protective Edge, more than 1,770 rockets
were launched from the Gaza Strip at Israel, out of which 1,333 rockets hit the Israeli home front; yet,
only 360 rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome.].

In discussion of the fact that 13 ELITE IDF SOLDIERS KILLED AFTER GAZA TERRORISTS
FIRE MISSILE FROM CIVILIAN HOUSE, assumptions contained in prior Blast e-mails
seem to have been confirmed by an anonymous officer: We are no longer looking at
just dismantling the tunnel network [from Gaza to Israel]. The goals of Operation
Defensive Edge are now to cripple Hamas, so they will not be able to strike us again in a
few years. He also said the offensive into Gaza was likely to now last several weeks,
and that the IDF was contemplating the creation of a one-mile buffer zone into Gaza.

Kurdistan: This independent entity must be established ASAP; just like an Israeli victory in Gaza will
show the world what America used to be able to do, establishment of a non-Islamist country within the
Middle East will show the world how prosperity could emerge if everyone rises to fight the Caliphate.

Putin: If, indeed, USA-Russia at 'Cold War Levels,' someone should tell BHO, perhaps @ the 19
th
Hole.

The UN: Through UNRWA, the UN again revealed itself to be two-faced [returning rockets stored in
schools to Hamas after having apologized to the Israelis for having suddenly discovered their existence].

National

BHO: He is dangerous on all fronts [ObamaDontCare, Common Core, NSA, guns] and must be stopped;
perhaps his Scandal-Sheet will catch-up with him [noting, for example, one-month deadlines facing the
IRS in two D.C. Federal Courtrooms], but the GOP cannot aspire to glide to the November midterms.

Illustrating the dangers associated with Common Core is this distillation of 7 Major
Differences Between No Child Left Behind and Common Core/Race to the Top. And,
true-to-form, The Obama Admin Just Exempted US Territories From Obamacare. {Note,
also, that the NSA Stores 80% of all Phone Calls, Not Just Metadata.}

The Media: It has demonstrated the need to be monitored [excluding, prominently Fox], both due to
what is promulgated [and how] and due to what is censored [and why].

Heritage-Action: Anyone who wants to listen to the half-hour discussion among Sentinals may dial-in
on Monday night at 5:30pm [1-800-757-3718]; you will be treated to a helping of useful-info unavailable
elsewhere, oriented towards promotion of true-conservative viewpoints.

Illegals: NO Amnesty-related legislation can be promulgated, lest it be hijacked by those who want a
comprehensive plan enacted [via a House/Senate Conference committee]; emphasis must be placed
on law-enforcement noting, for example, everyone arriving via Mexico can be assumed to be Mexican
[and promptly about-faced and reverse-marched] simply by emphasizing law-enforcement as a priority.
{Also note, a TX TOWN SWAMPED WITH DEAD BODIES, 911 CALLS 70 MILES FROM BORDER.}

Talk radio host Glenn Beck criticized Fox News and Breitbart for their reporting of his
plan to visit the border to bring food, soccer balls, and teddy bears to illegal immigrants
on the southern border. Also, The True Size of the Adult Immigration Wave, Revealed.

Elizabeth Warren: It has been alleged that her List for Progressives Is eerily similar to Hitlers Nazi List;
perhaps this may explain why, suddenly, JERRY BROWN may initiate a WHITE HOUSE RUN.

GOP: Notwithstanding the civil-war [and the need to support Amash, McDaniel, Wolf, Carr, etc.], to
pick-up at least six seats and the Senate majority, Sheldon Adelson may donate as much as $100 million;
the former issues must be pursued, mutually-exclusive of whatever may subsequently transpire.

Statewide & Regional

Corbett: It is hoped that his emphasis on Pension-Reform will bear fruit [for PA and for his campaign];
after having analyzed the puff-piece published today by the NY-Times, my view remains that JoePA was
unjustly pilloried and that Corbett must hold an endless press-conference regarding two facets of
what transpired [assigning 3 part-timers throughout 2010 and firing JoePa abruptly]. {And SOMEONE
should scrutinize Cynthia Baldwins behavior (2010-2011), for she allegedly aided/abetted the cover-up.}

Log-Cabin GOP: When things in Harrisburg die-down to a dull-roar, will obtain input from Rep. Vereb
regarding the next-step in the process of establishing a PA Chapter, to dovetail with the GOP.

Blogging: An article on Corbett [PA-Gov: FiveThirtyEight Forecasts Corbetts Re-Election Odds] has given
David Diano a conduit to reveal Dem talking-points, which I continue to expose as facile and incorrect.

Alessio Lerro: Ill to chat with him one-on-one [assuming I receive a call-back from his Department @
Temple U] to achieve conflict-resolution, in conjunction with whatever else others may be pursuing.

Iran and POTUS-16

NROs Jim Geraghty wrote this Morning Jolt last Thursday, just prior to the Ukrainian SAM-Terrorism:

The Obama Administration Will Never Walk Away from the Negotiating Table with
Iran
On Monday, the word was that the West's negotiations with Iran weren't going well:
"The mood of the talks has gone from optimistic weeks ago, as Iran made concessions
on items such as the future of its Arak nuclear reactor, to pessimistic in recent days as it
becomes clear a giant gap remains on the crucial question of how much capacity Iran
will retain to enrich uranium for what it insists is a peaceful nuclear program."
Yet as the deadline approached, President Obama and his team have decided things are
going well enough to extend the deadline . . .
President Obama said Wednesday that there had been "real progress in
several areas" in negotiations with Iran over its disputed nuclear
program, and he hinted that he might extend the talks beyond the
deadline on Sunday in order to reach a final agreement.
"We have a credible way forward," Mr. Obama told reporters during a
short briefing at the White House, although he said there were some
"significant gaps" between the two sides and more work to do before a
deal could be struck.
"Over the next few days, we'll continue consulting with Congress, and
our team will continue discussions with Iran and our partners as we
determine whether additional time is necessary to extend our
negotiations," Mr. Obama said.
If you're always willing to extend the deadline, then it's not really a deadline, is it? On
paper, we're watching negotiations between two parties with diametrically opposed
interests -- we want the Iranians to have as little of a nuclear program as possible; they
want one as big (and easily switched to military applications) as possible. But in practice,
we've got two parties with the same interest: the Obama administration wants
negotiations to continue so they can claim their approach is working, and the Iranians
want negotiations to continue so that their program keeps advancing and those
centrifuges keep spinning. So both sides want the talks to go on indefinitely. At this
point, we're negotiating about the conditions for continuing negotiations.
What would it take for President Obama, John Kerry, and the rest of his administration
to conclude, "These guys aren't serious about a deal, they're stalling for time, and we're
playing into their hands by continuing these negotiations"?
It seems that as long as the Iranians don't reach across the table and behead the other
negotiators, this administration is willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
I've gotten spam offers that seem more reliable than the Iranians' promises.
Eli Lake points out one more aspect of the negotiations where time is not on our side:
As U.S. and allied negotiators try to hammer out a nuclear deal with Iran
this week in Vienna, they will have less economic leverage on their
Iranian counterparts than they had a year ago.
That is the conclusion of a new study from Roubini Global Economics
and the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, two groups that
have analyzed Iran's economy -- and the international sanctions
imposed on the country's banks, oil exports and leading regime figures.
Their report concludes that in the last year as the United States and
other Western countries have begun to ease some of the sanctions on
Iran as an inducement to negotiate an end to the country's nuclear
weapons program, the Iranian economy has begun to recover.
. . . the economic sanctions that President Obama has credited with
forcing Iran to begin these negotiations have appeared to lose their
bite, according to the study that is scheduled to be released Monday.
The lies of this administration will hurt all of us, but perhaps none are more damaging
than the lies they tell themselves about how well their policies are working.
Are Young Democrats Not That Liberal on Economic Issues?
Here's Thomas B. Edsall in the NYT. Hmm:
Back in April, Pew researchers wrote that "huge generation gaps have
opened up in our political and social values, our economic well-being,
our family structure, our racial and ethnic identity, our gender norms,
our religious affiliation, and our technology use." These trends, Pew
noted, point "toward a future marked by the most striking social, racial,
and economic shifts the country has seen in a century."
I asked Andrew Kohut, the founding director of the Pew Center, what he
made of these results. He emailed me his thoughts: "There is a
libertarian streak that is apparent among these left-of-center young
people. Socially liberal but very wary of government. Why? They came
of age in an anti-government era when government doesn't work. They
are very liberal on interpersonal racial dimension, but reject classic
liberal notions about ways of achieving social progress for minorities."
According to Pew, the older group believes, 73-20, that "government
should do more to solve problems." Only 44 percent of the younger
group agrees -- and of younger respondents, 50 percent believe that
"government is trying to do too much."
Eighty-three percent of the older group of Democratic voters believes
that "circumstances" are to blame for poverty; only 9 percent blame "a
lack of effort." The younger group of pro-Democratic voters is split, with
47 percent blaming circumstances and 42 percent blaming lack of effort.
An overwhelming majority of the older cohort, 83-12, believes that
"government should do more to help needy Americans, even if it means
more debt," while a majority of the younger Democratic respondents,
56-39, believes "government cannot afford to do much more."
A 56 percent majority of the younger group of Democrats believes that
"Wall Street helps the American economy more than it hurts," with just
36 percent believing that Wall Street hurts the economy. Older
Democrats have almost exactly the opposite view. 56 percent believe
that Wall Street hurts the economy; 36 percent believe it helps.
Asked by Pew to choose between two statements -- "Racial
discrimination is the main reason why many blacks can't get ahead" and
"Blacks who can't get ahead are mostly responsible for their own
condition" -- the older Democratic cohort blamed discrimination, by an
80 to 10 margin. In contrast, only 19 percent of the younger group of
Democrats blamed discrimination, with 68 percent saying that blacks
"are mostly responsible for their own condition."
Some 91 percent of the older group said the "U.S. needs to continue
making changes to give blacks equal rights," and just 6 percent said the
"U.S. has made the changes needed to give blacks equal rights." 67
percent of the younger group said the United States has done enough
for blacks, and 28 percent said that the country needs to do more to
give blacks equal rights.
In 2016, the GOP Nominee Gets to Be the Candidate of Change
Patrick Ruffini puts it simply: "2016 message: Obama has managed things poorly. Hillary
would be more of the same."
Allow me to put out a theory . . . I'm not even sure how convinced of this I am. It might
be happy talk.
The 2012 results have had just about everybody on the right banging their heads against
the wall. Some folks are convinced this is it; America's advancing into a steep decline.
Too many voters are tuned-out, easily distracted sheep. Takers, not makers.
What if it was a perfect storm of the uncontrollable variables working in Obama's
direction?
In 2012, Americans who wanted to believe that Obama was getting things turned
around had just enough evidence to persuade themselves that better days were around
the corner. People who wanted to believe he would be a great leader had some faith he
was getting the hang of things. The right track/wrong direction numbers, deeply
negative since early 2009, had improved somewhat -- about 40 percent right track, 55
percent wrong direction. Obama's job approval on Election Day 2012 was slightly
positive -- 50.1 percent approving, 47.1 percent disapproving.
Today only 26 percent think the country is headed in the right direction, 63.5 percent
say it's on the wrong track. Today 41.9 percent approve of the job Obama's doing and
53.1 percent disapprove.
What if one of the biggest factors in the GOP 2012 defeat was a particularly charismatic
opponent, running with all of the advantages of incumbency, and a particularly un-
charismatic candidate on our side? What if Obama lucked out with just enough good
news on the economic front to get people to think the next four years would be worse?
Haven't we been watching that favorable set of circumstances erode before our eyes?
In 2012, no one knew the Department of Veterans Affairs was letting veterans die
waiting for care. The Middle East's blaze of hatred didn't seem out of control (although
Benghazi was a warning shot). Health-insurance premiums hadn't been hiked yet. The
number of children coming across the border was manageable. Russia hadn't rolled into
Crimea and knocked on the door of Ukraine yet. No IRS scandal yet. No convenient
deleted e-mails and thrown-out hard drives. No boasting of a presidential lack of
interest in photo-ops in between presidential photo-ops.
Speaking at a progressive conference Wednesday, Vice President Joe Biden came
perilously close to admitting that the Obama presidency had failed: "Look folks, this is
within our power to change. Everybody says because we tried in '08 and it didn't
happen, it's not possible. Wrong. We've gone through these periods before . . . But
folks, this is totally within our power. Change. Change for the better is absolutely
possible and I believe it's close to inevitable, if you're the drivers of it."
Maybe 2016 won't be such a struggle as we fear.
