Massive U.S. Military Buildup Reported Around Iran; Up to 100,000 Troops Ready By March

January 30, 2012



While President Obama’s supporters hailed his withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq as the end of the war in the middle east, behind the scenes the Pentagon has been quietly massing troops and armaments on two islands located just south of the Strait of Hormuz, and within easy striking distance of Iran.
In addition to some 50,000 U.S. troops currently in the region waiting for orders (apparently they won’t be home by this past Christmas as was originally promised), Nobel Peace Prize winner President Barack Obama is deploying an additional 50,000 soldiers to be ready for ‘any contingency’ by March:

President Barack Obama is reported exclusively by DEBKA-Net-Weekly’s military and Washington sources to have secretly ordered US air, naval and marine forces to build up heavy concentrations on two strategic islands –Socotra, which is part of a Yemeni archipelago in the Indian Ocean, and the Omani island of Masirah at the southern exit of the Strait of Hormuz.
Since 2010, the US has been quietly building giant air force and naval bases on Socotra with facilities for submarines, intelligence command centers and take-off pads for flying stealth drones, as part of a linked chain of strategic US military facilities in the Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf.
The Socotra facilities are so secret that they are never mentioned in any catalogue listing US military facilities in this part of the world, which include Jebel Ali and Al Dahfra in the United Arab Emirates; Arifjan in Kuwait; and Al Udeid in Qatar – all within short flying distances from Iran.
Additional US forces are also being poured into Camp Justice on the barren, 70-kilometer long Omani island of Masirah, just south of the Hormuz entry point to the Gulf of Oman from the Arabian Sea.
…
Western military sources familiar with the American buildup on the two strategic islands tell DEBKA-Net-Weekly that, although they cannot cite precise figures, they are witnessing the heaviest American concentration of might in the region since the US invaded Iraq in 2003.
Then, 100,000 American troops were massed in Kuwait ahead of the invasion. Today, those sources estimate from the current pace of arrivals on the two island bases, that 50,000 US troops will have accumulated on Socotra and Masirah by mid-February. They will top up the 50,000 military already present in the Persian Gulf region, so that in less than a month, Washington will have some 100,000 military personnel on the spot and available for any contingency.

The Establishment GOP Conspiracy to Oust Ron Paul

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!!!
Mark Matheny
January 31, 2012

The Saying "Ron Paul is not electable", so often repeated by the Lame-stream media and among the GOP, is starting to lose ground as the constitutional Congressman of Texas gains momentum along the campaign trail. However, is there a GOP plot to derail Ron Paul from the campaign trail, and oust him from the Republican party?

In an RT News interview, Julie Borowski, a Ron Paul supporter explains the reasons Ron Paul is so popular among the younger generation of voters, and a real thorn in the side of the GOP establishment party.




When asked why it is that the oldest running candidate's message resonates so well among younger people, Julie replied:

"Yeah, it is kind of strange to see a 76 year old man very conservative, very religious, get so much support from young people. And I think one of the reasons is because Ron Paul tells it like it is. He doesn't sugar-coat things. He has a consistent record. He's gonna do what he says. In his plan to restore America, he wants to cut $1 trillion dollars in the first year alone. He's talking about big ideas, and the other candidates are not."

 According to RT News, there seems to be a threatening force among GOP Republicans to push Ron Paul out of the campaign, and from the Republican party. The fear by the GOP that Ron Paul may actually win has pushed them to send out a petition calling for Ron Paul to drop out of the campaign, and to leave the GOP.

The Petition states in part:

We have had enough of the stupid demands of the those who support Ron Paul for President. The time has come for true Conservatives to Rise Up and Take a Stand!
It is our Duty to Defend the Integrity of the GOP! These radical leftists that back Ron Paul will not get away with demanding the GOP nominate Ron Paul or else!
Therefore, the REAL Conservatives of the Republican Party hereby DEMAND that Ron Paul END his Presidential Campaign at once, and Exit the GOP along with his radical cult followers/supporters!

In the petition, threats were also aimed at Senator Rand Paul, promising to replace him with a true Republican as well. It is apparent that the type of Republican would then have to be one more in line with the status quo.

When asked if this type of threatening language would work against Ron and his supporters, Julie said:

"No, what is going on right now is there is an ugly fight between establishment Republicans and true conservatives. Ron Paul is a threat to the establishment. He is dangerous to the status quo. And they don't want to have a debate over one policy, and so what they're doing is they're trying to marginalize Ron Paul and his supporters, calling us racists, anti-Semitic. Calling us Leftists - basically name calling with no facts to back it up."

RT points out in the interview that one of the complaints being brought against Ron Paul is that he is pulling votes away from the other candidates. (Isn't that the goal of each candidate?- to pull enough votes away from the other candidates in order to win?)

While there are those on the establishment side hurling threats, there is also another strategy being proposed by republican supporters like former CEO of GE, Jack Welch, who simply want to drive Ron Paul out in a very gentle way, so as not to offend his supporters in hopes that they will then turn to whichever Rino Republican is left to finish the race.

Mr Welch had this to say in a news clip aired on RT:

" Ron Paul is going to leave exit-left on this stage sometime down the road before August, or in August, and their GOP doesn't want to lose those wonderful voters that he's brought on board, so how well they treat Ron Paul going forward is a very big deal." (or big F'n deal if you're Biden)

Julie Borowski states how for years the GOP has tried to gain the support of younger voters, and now that Ron Paul has started a fire in the hearts of younger voters to join the Republican party, the establishment Republicans are now marginalizing them and resorting to name calling. She said " That strategy is probably the dumbest thing I can think of."

While Obama brought in many young voters in 2008 with his "Yes We Can" rhetoric, it is Ron Paul with his "message of freedom" that will win the hearts of the younger generation in 2012!

Obama’s war on religion declared

Obamacare’s contraception crusade plays Catholics for fools, but is really designed to show his Federal govt’s supremacy over religious groups – but it’s a slippery slope for America.

Michael Gerson
Washington Post
January 31, 2012

In politics, the timing is often the message. On Jan. 20 — three days before the annual March for Life — the Obama administration announced its final decision that Catholic universities, hospitals and charities will be compelled to pay for health insurance that covers sterilization, contraceptives and abortifacients.

Preparing for the march, Catholic students gathered for Mass at Verizon Center. The faithful held vigil at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Knights of Columbus and bishops arrived to trudge in the cold along the Mall. All came to Washington in time for their mocking.

Catholic leaders are still trying to process the implications of this ambush. The president had every opportunity to back down from confrontation. In the recent ­Hosanna-Tabor ruling, a unanimous Supreme Court reaffirmed a broad religious autonomy right rooted in the Constitution. Obama could have taken the decision as justification for retreat.

And it would have been a minor retreat. The administration was on the verge of mandating nearly universal contraceptive coverage through Obamacare without public notice. There would have been no controversy at all if President Obama had simply exempted religious institutions and ministries. But the administration insisted that the University of Notre Dame and St. Mary’s Hospital be forced to pay for the privilege of violating their convictions.

OBAMA ELIGIBILITY CHALLENGES SPREAD TO 6 STATES

World Net Daily

January 31, 2012

An administrative law judge in Georgia could decide as early as this week whether voters in the state convinced him Barack Obama’s name should be removed from the 2012 presidential ballot because he is not qualified to hold the office.

But win, lose or draw, the fight isn’t going to be over, as other cases are erupting across the nation, with challenges being raised anew even in Obama’s own adopted political network in Illinois.

The Georgia hearing was before Judge Michael Malihi, and while none of the lawyers who appeared in the proceedings was willing to predict what the decision will be, several did confirm that Malihi had considered simply granting them a default victory, because Obama and his lawyers expressly stated they would not participate in a hearing to provide evidence that he is qualified to be on the ballot.

A default presumably would have meant a recommendation from the judge that Obama’s name be stricken from the ballot, a decision which would head for review immediately by Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp.

He, however, was the one who warned Obama of the “peril” of not participating in the hearing when Obama and his attorney had asked that the event be canceled.

Glitzy new AU headquarters a symbol of China-Africa ties

Reuters
January 31, 2012

Standing on what was once Ethiopia’s oldest maximum security prison, the new African Union headquarters funded by China is a symbol of the Asian giant’s push to stay ahead in Africa and gain greater access to the continent’s resources.

Critics point to an imbalance in what they see as the new “Scramble for Africa.” But the prospect of growing Chinese economic influence is welcomed by African leaders, who see Beijing as a partner to help build their economies at a time when Europe and the United States are mired in economic turmoil.

… ”China – its amazing re-emergence and its commitments for a win-win partnership with Africa – is one of the reasons for the beginning of the African renaissance,” he said.

The brown marble and glass monolith was fully paid for by China, right down to the office furniture, and cost $200 million. The office complex and almost 100 metre (330 foot) tower is Addis Ababa’s tallest building by far.
