Cassandra

Like Cassandra in Greek mythology,today's Cassandra looks at the American political landscape and warns of danger ahead.

Name:

As an ex-journalist and government worker, I'm one of those rare Americans who actually cares about the country's future and pays attention to what's happening in the present. With this blog, I hope to make people look more critically at the news. It's our duty as citizens to know what's going on and to speak out.

ISRAEL STANDS AGAINST TERRORIST GOLIATH

Brave little Israel, surrounded by sworn enemies, stands like David against the Goliath of world terrorism. The U.S. has its hands full in Iraq. Cowardly Europe talks and appeases. The United Nations remains a publicity forum for evil-doers. But Israel gets into the trenches and fights.

When will the world wake up? When Western civilization is on its deathbed? All of today's battles are incited by Islamic terrorists: Israel, Somalia, Darfur, Chechnya, Iraq. They ram the World Trade Center towers killing 3,000 and blow up trains in Madrid, London and Bombay, killing hundreds. To what purpose?

The purpose is to create fear and chaos, to marshal the billions of Muslims in the world to hate the West and incite them to murder all "infidels." Who benefits from this? The dictatorial Arab governments. They have huge numbers of underemployed, sexually-repressed young men who can turn their anger against their own countries. So they're instead encouraged to turn their rage onto the West. Who better to be the "devil" than Western "infidels?"

Even those who enjoy the freedoms and luxuries of living in a democracy, like the youths in France and Holland, turn violent against their hosts. They arrive as poor, illiterate beggars and, thanks to the European welfare systems, acquire the education, cellphones, computers and bomb ingredients to blow up their host cities. Why bother to assimilate the country's culture when they can demand it change to accommodate their religious fanatism?

World War III has begun. The stakes are high. If we lose, we can be catapulted back to the Stone Age. We have no option but to fight Islamic terrorism with all the skills and weaponry of our 2lst century civilization. The longer we wait, the stronger the worldwide Islamic net becomes. It's time for all freedom-loving countries to stop bickering amongst themselves and use the weapons of the internet, television, financial transactions, satellites and arms to wipe out the terrorists.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH GUANTANAMO?

Every detainee in Guantanamo is innocent, or so he claims. One is a tailor, another a farmer, another a student, all unfortunately swept up in Afghanistan or another country doing nothing but minding their own business. Even the self-admitted driver to bin Laden says he's done nothing wrong. He drove a mass murderer around. What's the big deal? That's no worse than driving the getaway car in a robbery. You can't be accused of a crime, or can you?

They moan and whine that the mean guards treat them badly. Let's see. They have three meals a day (made according to their religious requirements), the best medical and dental care of their miserable lives and free time to read the Koran, supplied by the mean guards. They should be paying the U.S. resort rates for the Guantanamo Hilton. Some have even acquired the best-trained lawyers the West can offer.

Yet the professional bleeding hearts in the U.S. and Europe call for "more humane treatment" of these guys. The fact that the do-gooders can protest at all is because they're lucky enough to live in democractic countries, which these detainees want to destroy.

The inmates are the guys who seek to replace democracy with their own brand of Islamic fascism. They are schooled in madrassas to hate Westerners, trained by master terrorists to blow up anything that moves, themselves included, inflamed by murderous clerics and taught to lie if captured. And no matter how harshly they perceive their treatment, it's 10,000 times better than living conditions in their own barbaric countries.

Prisoners are never happy, no matter what. And they're always innocent. Just ask their mothers.

U.S. ARMY TRAINS SKINHEADS

Remember Timothy McVeigh, the guy with a grudge against the U.S. government who blew up the Oklahoma City federal building killing scores of workers and nursery school kids? He and his buddies honed their bomb-making and murderous skills in the U.S. Army.

Now a new generation of skinheads is being trained by the Army. A study by the Southern Poverty Law Center says that more and more neo-Nazis and skinheads are finding their way into the armed forces. Despite its stated ban, the Army, hard pressed to fill its quotas, is letting them in.

Skinhead websites encourage the young hoodlums to join the Army in preparation for a coming "race war" in this country. As trained infantrymen, they'll learn the skills of going house-to-house to force "alien races" from towns into the countryside where they can eliminate them.

It's good to see that our taxpayer dollars are being put to good use. Not.
