[OBSERVER] On Sunday, Russian TV host Dmitry Kiselyov, who enjoys the largest audience among news programs in Russia, announced in his prime-time program News of the Week the launch of a new documentary, whose goal would be to expose corruption in the U.S.--as opposed to the familiar story in Russian he's sick and tired of talking about.
"This is not fair--to forget about American corruption," he declared, "about how they get fat on the money of American taxpayers there."
The title of the film--Emperor Obama--says it all, but the trailer, lasting more than 10 minutes, was shown anyway.
The first victim of attack was the American first lady.
"The information on our clients is strictly confidential," says the Villa Padierna hotel manager to a young and beautiful female news hound. "But I can confirm that Michelle Obama really stayed in our hotel. She was our most famous guest. Since then, we named one of our villas after her. Villa Obama has three floors, two bedrooms, one swimming pool and a big living room--here is Villa Obama."
"On the fourth of August 2010," the manager continues, as the beautiful young news hound walks around the luxurious and spacious rooms, "the U.S. president celebrated his 49th birthday, and the very same day his spouse, Michelle Obama, arrived for her vacation in Spain. Here is her room." Not ceremoniously, the news hound touches the silk sheets and very rare travertine marble. "Here are the official numbers: for the week starting August 4, 131,000 Americans were fired, losing their incomes and jobs. At that moment, Michelle Obama was on vacation, and the taxpayers were paying $6,000 a night for this hotel suit."
Then, the first lady is shown walking outside out in the Spanish heat. "Michelle! Michelle!" thunders the crowd.

I kind of liked Lursa and B'etor. They may have had some dental issues, but hey, who's perfect. So don't diss these classy Klingon grrls by making comparisons to MO. She is a parasite; they are predators. They clearly are in a class by themselves.

Iff Hillary doesn't win 2016, her best bet is to stay a NY Senator andor push for major Cabinet position(s) widin a POTUS Admin - I don't think she'll care iff its GOP or Dem or Other.
The above being said, ex-POTUS Obama after Jan. 2017 likely has a much better or realistic chance of becoming UN SecGen than Hillary hubby + ex-POTUS Bill Clinton ever did.

Moreso come Year 2025 + the troubles Amerika may face via Left-led Armed Militancy-Revolution iff the US is still not suborned under OWG + Secular Commie-Soc World Order, which undoubtedly the Theo-Socialist ISIS/ISIL, etal. + Global Jihad will exploit iff the US-Allies still has failed to defeat or destroy them by then.

D *** NG IT, IS THERE NO GLOBALIST LOVE FOR EUROPE'S "THE FINAL COUNTDOWN"???
[FREEBEACON] The Central Intelligence Agency three-year "Diversity and Inclusion Strategy" includes a dedicated program to recruit transgender individuals and agency-wide "unconscious bias" training. "Welcome to the Central Intelligence Reeducation Center! Blacks, Mestizo Hispanics, Asian-Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, and Mpslems, please move to the front of the room. The rest of you prejudiced bastards stay where you are."
The plan, released by the CIA's Diversity and Inclusion Office last week, lays out several goals for "weaving diversity and inclusion throughout the talent cycle." I'm guessing that "talent cycle" doesn't include agents, though it probably includes recruiters and controllers. It'll show up especially among analysts, where a degree in black studies or a sex change will be considered equivalent to a degree in economics or 5/5 fluency in Pashto.
One agency goal is "Becoming an Employer of Choice," and includes "dedicated programs" to recruit every demographic imaginable. The Agency's always been "an employer of choice." Lots of jackasses have gotten laid because they "work for the CIA." They don't mention the fact that they're in building maintenance.
"Cultivating an inclusive culture that encourages collaboration, flexibility, and fairness enables all officers to contribute to their full potential," the CIA plan stated. "When employees feel included, have a voice, and are given opportunities to develop and maximize their potential, we create an organization of choice and become a model employer for the full diversity of America's talent." That's a mouthful of butter that means approximately squat. Mot of us have read such "mission statements" dozens of times before, or at least part of it before losng interest. Inclusion of the word "inclusive" is merely the latest modification, adding a word to the wordy. Ex-PFC Wintergreen woul be amused.
"We will continue to enrich our workforce by targeting diverse communities across the United States to meet our talent needs, with dedicated programs for citizens of African, Asian, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Native American descent; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Individuals; Persons with Disabilities; Veterans; and Women," the CIA said. Vets are way back, next to the caboose, despite the fact that they're the ones who can step into the jobs with max understanding and competence.
Among the intelligence agency's key actions to meet this goal is to teach recruitment officers to "strengthen cultural competencies and combat unconscious bias." I believe all my biases are now conscious. I don't like most people.
The CIA will measure its progress of recruiting minorities, LGBT individuals, veterans, and women by using an "inclusion index." The agency will also track "Diversity and gender break-down of applicant flow data and recruiting trends." "Fansworth!"
"Sir!"
"Count the beans!"
"Yessir!"

Visit the State Department cafeteria, arrive early, sit near the windows and simply observe. 'Every demographic' can be quickly spotted and assessed as Foggy Bottom has achieved demographic nirvana. Next step, the personnel office for the 'how to.'
But what was I thinking? This isn't about recruitment, you've got those bases covered. This is about political correctness, internal agency propaganda, and power.

And when the Transgender agent gets "in country" will he blend right into the local scene ? And how are you going to "blackmail" a Lady with a beard anyway? Tell somebody he isn't what he seems? He seems to be a flaming Queer dressed up in a Clown suit. And he wants you to beep his nose.
Tell Oleg to do it, I'm on my Lundh break.

I seem to remember many, many years ago a concept proposed that would have placed a female intelligence operative within a Latin American airline as a pilot. The plan never got off the ground [pun intended], but it did produce some nasal koffee spewing and face palming among desk officers who had regional expertise.

Seems like they might be good at drawing out Islamic fanatics playing at being moderates. No need to actually put them in the field where they might need training.
Many gays and transgenders have learned multiple ways to make straight folk feel ill at ease for their own ammusement, perhaps that could be used for good.
[Legal Insurrection] In his The America We Deserve Trump noted Iraq was developing weapons of mass destruction and targeted Iraq strikes had little impact on their overall capabilities. The Donald said the best course might be against Iraq to "carry the mission to its conclusion."
Wrote Trump:
"Consider Iraq. After each pounding from U.S . warplanes, Iraq has dusted itself off and gone right back to work developing a nuclear arsenal. Six years of tough talk and U.S. fireworks in Baghdad have done little to slow Iraq's crash program to become a nuclear power. They've got missiles capable of flying nine hundred kilometers--more than enough to reach Tel Aviv. They've got enriched uranium. All they need is the material for nuclear fission to complete the job, and, according to the Rumsfeld report, we don't even know for sure if they've laid their hands on that yet. That's what our last aerial assault on Iraq in 1999 was about. Saddam Hussein wouldn't let UN weapons inspectors examine certain sites where that material might be stored. The result when our bombing was over? We still don't know what Iraq is up to or whether it has the material to build nuclear weapons. I'm no warmonger. But the fact is, if we decide a strike against Iraq is necessary, it is madness not to carry the mission to its conclusion. When we don't, we have the worst of all worlds: Iraq remains a threat, and now has more incentive than ever to attack us."

Given the fickle and bungling handling of the situation by both American and Iraqi 'leadership', I'd say a lot of Americans now feel the same way. One does not toss aside the sacrifice and resources of those who had to do the dirty work only to abandon it all like a bad cheap lottery ticket and not feel betrayal.

The sad thing is the world believes Iraq had no WMD because the press has been repeating that over and over to make W look bad.
Then you have Libya that turned over their WMD stockpile after Saddam was pulled out of the Spider hole, which is what we wanted, but he was bombed out of power.
So the lesson the world got was if you get WMD you are safe.
[FREEBEACON] Former MSNBC host Ed Schultz ...currently hosting some kind of show on MSNBC that nobody watches, formerly touted as a Limbaugh killer for Air America... 's former super PAC has been forced to close after receiving a total of $25 in donations.
The Daily Caller's Evan Gahr first reported this story.
Schultz formed his super PAC, Americans for a Strong Middle Class, in October 2015. His super PAC has since taken out a $100 loan. Its FEC disclosure filing with an ending period of December 31 shows that they also have more than $15,000 in debt. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the PAC has never made a purchase on an ad or any other political work.
The left-wing pundit released a video on YouTube earlier in February announcing his departure from the group, owing his leaving to not having enough time to devote to it. Schultz envisioned the organization as being a rival to Karl Rove and his super PAC American Crossroads.
There is only one other individual who is listed on their website as being a part of the PAC, Ron Hartenbaum, its treasurer. Hartenbaum is a founding partner of MediaAmerica and was a CEO for Jones Radio Networks.
Schultz is now the host of News with Ed Schultz on RT America, a cable news network funded by the Russian government. RT networks have been widely criticized as being a propaganda machine for the Russian government and President Vladimir Putin ...Second and fourth President and sixth of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from polonium poisoning. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead... . In 2014, Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... called RT a "Propaganda Bullhorn."

[HOSTED.AP.ORG] Pope Francis said Thursday that Donald Trump is "not Christian" if he wants to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border.
The wall around the Vatican, however, is dandy...
Trump immediately fired back, saying it is disgraceful for a religious leader to question a person's faith.
The rare back-and-forth between pontiff and presidential candidate was the latest astonishing development in a U.S. presidential race that has been roiled by Trump's freewheeling rhetoric and controversial policy proposals, particularly on immigration. 'The Power of Myth'...perhaps Joseph Campbell should be prayerfully re-examined.

The Pope is not qualified to judge a Christian because he does not follow the doctrine of Christ. This Pope is a Socialist anti-Christ.

I wonder how much Donald paid for that endorsement?
In the comment section over at Instaprof, the wall around the Vatican was erected to protect it from roving Muslim (Religion of Peace) pirates of the time.

In "13 Hours," Michael Bay's new movie about the real-life September 11, 2012 attack on two U.S. compounds in Benghazi, Libya, one super-tough CIA security contractor reads from Joseph Campbell's "The Power of Myth." The quote doesn't stick thanks to a plangent sound mix that prioritizes explosions over wordplay, but the title of the book is more than enough to make Bay’s point.

From a different article on today's 'Burg: Hungary's prime minister went on to assail those in the EU who see Hungary's desire to protect its ethnic and Christian roots as a "voice from the Dark Ages."
[THEHILL] Key Democratic players are worried that Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as For a good time at 3 a.m. call Hillary and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Walter Q. Gresham ... ally David Brock could be hurting her image and hampering her chances of winning the presidency.
In interviews over the past month, Clinton donors, fundraisers and operatives have told The Hill that the concerns about Brock's comments, particularly some of his attacks on Bernie Sanders ...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords... , stretch all the way to the top of Clinton's political machinery. A leading figure in the Democracy Alliance, the liberal equivalent of the conservative Koch brothers' donor network, said donors he associates with would like to put Brock "back in the can."
"I have heard people express concern that what he does could be harmful generally" to the campaign, the donor said.
Longtime Clinton fundraiser Bill Brandt, an Illinois-based businessman and personal friend of Bill Clinton ...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of is... , said of Brock, "David is well meaning but I think perhaps like a zealot. He should keep it in check a bit. I don't think this needs to be about tearing Bernie down. ... It's getting nasty and it doesn't need to be."
One Brock comment that drew backlash regarded his plans to raise questions about the 74-year-old Sanders's health, seen by many as a low blow at the senator's age and one that left Clinton vulnerable given attempts by conservatives to portray her as being in fragile health.

Hildbeest is worried about "hardball" politics hurting her image. Her image has always been hardball politics with or without David Brock.
[THEHILL] Allies of Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as America's Blond Eminence and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Dean Acheson ... are growing nervous as the Democratic presidential race with Bernie Sanders ...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords... tightens ahead of contests in Nevada and South Carolina.
A new CNN/ORC poll released Wednesday found Clinton with a 1-point lead in Nevada, which hosts its caucuses on Saturday. That's a huge change from the 23-point lead Clinton enjoyed in a late December poll by Gravis.
In South Carolina, which hosts its primary election on Feb. 27, Clinton has a more comfortable 18-point lead according to a CNN/ORC poll. But even that edge has narrowed since Sanders crushed her in New Hampshire's primary last week.
As recently as mid-January, a poll from NBC, The Wall Street Journal and Marist found Clinton with a 33-point lead in South Carolina.
"I don't get it. I don't think anyone expected this race to look like this," said one former Clinton aide who maintains ties with the campaign. "A big loss in New Hampshire, basically a tie going into Nevada. You have to ask yourself, 'What's next?' "
Team Clinton maintains confidence that its lead in South Carolina will hold, but the potential loss in Nevada has put people on edge about a "domino effect" in which states could fall one by one to Sanders as he gains momentum.
"It's hard to feel confident about South Carolina if you lose Nevada," the former aide said.

She lies all the time, she barks like a dog, she has multiple personalities (speaks like blacks and southerners at times as well as others), and her eyes roll around uncontrollably like the Aurora shooter James Holmes. Is this really the person the Democrats want to represent them?
[AMERICANTHINKER] Time and again, Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzla and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Edmund Randolph ... says and does things that indicate she is out of touch with her environment and the people around her. In a recent demonstration of insensitivity, she loudly yapped like a dog at a campaign rally. Why is she impervious to the offensiveness of her words and destructiveness of her actions? The answer lies in adult developmental psychology.
Hillary Clinton lived her life in a manner that did not require her to mature psychologically, morally, intellectually, or functionally. Psychology explains that neither a nation nor an individual advances during a crisis. A nation at war does not call for a constitutional convention. An embattled individual in crisis learns only the skills relevant to overcoming the enemy and surviving the crisis.
Hillary Clinton has spent her adult life at war, rumbling over political terrain in a heavily armed battle tank, seeing life through the periscope. People don't mature from their successes; they learn from being honest with themselves about their failures and correcting the errors which caused the mistakes to happen. This is why Hillary has learned so little from life. The Clintons protect themselves, trust no one, always persevere, and prevail over enemies. There have been many political war machines, but the greatest of these is the Clintons. The Clintons never fail.
A psychotherapeutic formula subtracts the years spent intoxicated or in crisis from chronological age to figure psychological maturity. By that reckoning, Hillary would be about 20, a dork in thick glasses who thinks it clever to twang about not standin' by her man and to make animal noises.

So this makes her different from other beltway party members how ?
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
