Author Oleg Atbashian presents his book to a libertarian/conservative group Liberty on the Rocks in Colorado Springs, August 23, 2011.

Oleg Atbashian is a writer and graphic artist from the former USSR. Born and raised in Ukraine, he used to be a teacher, a translator, a worker, a freelance journalist, and at one time a propaganda artist, creating visual agitprop for the local Party committee in a Siberian town. In 1994, he emigrated to the USA hoping to live in a country that was ruled by reason and common sense. Ironically, he now lives in New York City. He is the creator ofThePeoplesCube.com, a satirical website where he writes under the name of Red Square.

Okay, I admit it. I’m a terrorist! At least that’s what the socialist Democrats would like to call me. It is now out of the bag. TEA Party members and followers are now being charged with terrorism by the politically degenerate followers of The Great Prevaricator. I’m proud of it if I can bring terror into the minds of those who would work contrary to our Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights. I want them out of office and out of any position of influence.

It seems everyone is debating the effectiveness of the TEA Party members and supporters in bringing some kind of halt to spending and holding taxes where they are in the passing of the Budget Control Act. One easy way to look at it is where are we today in relation to where we were during the Pelosi-Reid-Obama agenda of one year ago. That agenda was giving us a daily dose of damage to our American economy, destroying jobs with crippling regulations, oppressive spending and brand new taxes. To top it off, the Democrats passed a government takeover of healthcare, spending record amounts of money we didn’t have on a program we didn’t want. Then they raised taxes on hardworking taxpayers to pay for an $800 billion stimulus, claiming they should have spent more.

But on election day 2010, millions of American Patriots stood up and were counted as they said, “We’re Taxed Enough Already!”

TEA Party members have not just changed the debate, they have changed the results. Sure, they are not the extensive results TEA Party members in many instances were working for, but they are a good step in the right direction. The people will take even more of their country back when they gain control of the Senate and the presidency along with the continued control of the House in 2012. The Great Prevaricator has not given up on more taxes. All good socialists want to level the income field. He needs to be stopped at each and every turn. We must not let him destroy our country,

So, Mubarak has fled Egypt and a military council has been left in charge. Mubarak was a general, or so I’ve heard. The military has been in charge of the country all along. With Mubarak gone, it’s a little like rearranging deck chairs, isn’t it?

It’s very interesting how Obama got in front of the protesters and demanded Mubarak cede power “yesterday” (according to Obama’s mouthpiece, Gibbs), yet did nothing to help the protesters in Iran some months ago. Obama is very selective about the protests he supports.

One thing is certain – Obama does not care for the TEA Party. Not one bit. But something about the protests in Egypt compelled Obama to do something. What was it?

It certainly wasn’t a love of liberty. Egypt has no history of Jeffersonian democracy, Constitutional republicanism, or any form of government TEA Partiers would identify with.

Egypt has always been a repressive regime. It wasn’t a socialist utopia before Mubarak. The fact that Mubarak had his boot on the throats of the Muslim Brotherhood and their supporters should have been a clue to the media that perhaps Mubarak was simply trying to keep a lid on what could become an explosive situation.

Get this:

In July of last year, the University of Maryland commissioned Zogby to poll the people of Egypt. Here are a few of their findings:

85% of Egyptians hold an unfavorable attitude toward the U.S.

87% of Egyptians have no confidence in the U.S.

92% of Egyptians believe the U.S. is one of two nations that is the greatest threat to them (the other nation the Egyptian people hate is Israel)

52% of Egyptians hold an unfavorable opinion of American people

65% of Egyptians believe that Islamic clergy must play a greater role in the Egyptian political system

79% percent of Egyptians believe that it would be positive if Iran is able to acquire nuclear weapons

The Zogby poll results back up a similar project conducted by Pew in April and May of last year.  Among Egyptian Muslims polled, 85% felt that Islam’s role in politics was a positive one.  In a struggle between modernizers and Islamist fundamentalists, 59% of Egyptians who foresaw such a conflict stated they would side with the Islamists, while only 27% stated that they would side with the modernizers.

Another Pew poll last June revealed that only 17% of Egyptians hold a favorable view of the United States, while 20% hold a favorable view of suicide bombing.  Yes dear readers, Egyptians like suicide bombing more than they like you.

Pew also revealed that 82% of Egyptian Muslims support stoning human beings to death for having sex outside of marriage and that  77% of Egyptian Muslims support public whippings and cutting people’s hands off for theft.  In addition, a terrifying 84% of Egyptian Muslims support the death penalty for anyone who has the good sense to leave the religion of Islam.

As much as we may not like Hosni Mubarak, there are many worse people who could be in power in Egypt — and they are very likely to be in power before the end of the year.   We would all like to believe that the protesters in the streets of Egypt are all fighting for freedom — but that is not what they say about themselves.  By their own admission, they prefer Islamic fundamentalism to modern civilization by more than 2 to 1.  They don’t want a modern democracy; they do want to murder people for having sex outside of marriage.  They don’t want freedom of religion — in fact 84% of them want to establish the death penalty for it.

What does this sound like?  It sounds a whole lot like Iran in 1979.  Westerners with common sense should be leaving Egypt as quickly as possible, with no plans to ever return. We would like to hope for the best, but we must plan for the worst.

So I ask myself, Why does Obama hate TEA Party protesters and love Egyptian protesters? He knows everything that needs to be known about TEA Partiers, yet knows next to nothing about the Egyptian protesters other than their desire for “change.” Obama is either a fool, or a radical.

Perhaps he is a foolish radical. Or a radical fool.

“If their street revolutions are successful, these Middle Eastern countries will rapidly degenerate into radical Muslim thugocracies allied with our communist enemies.  Israel will be the first target, and with Obama’s radically anti-Israel orientation, the Israelis will stand alone.  We will be next.  One wonders if Obama will then stand to defend the country he swore to, or if he will be out in the streets with his fellow radical leftists burning American flags.”

  • The Revolution In Middle East Is Growing Up - Nobody said it better than Hosni Mubarak: “Our eventual goal is to create an equal society, not a society of privileges and class distinctions. Social justice is the first rule for peace and stability in society.” But that was in November 1981, a few weeks after he had become president of Egypt.
  • IBD/TIPP Poll: A Country That Knows What It Wants - Public Opinion: The latest IBD/TIPP poll finds that Americans want decisive action taken to solve some of our biggest problems. But they also recognize the difference between real problems and the fake ones that politicians dwell on.

Notes from the Field
Date: November 23, 2010

Reporting From: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

Military tacticians and historians often make use of the term ‘tip of the spear.’ It refers to a combat force that is used to puncture the enemy’s initial lines of defense, to be quickly followed by concentrated forces which destroy any remaining threat.

Tactically, the tip of the spear is a bit of a blitzkrieg– an unexpected onslaught of firepower and destruction that takes the enemy by surprise, scatters his resources, and fractures his morale.

I’m convinced that what we’re seeing right now from the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is the tip of the spear in the government’s battle for increased control of the public.

This sums it up:

A landmark court decision was handed down Wednesday in the case against Ahmed Ghailani, a Guantanmo Bay detainee accused of taking part in the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Tanzania and Kenya. Ghailani, a Tanzanian national, was acquitted of all but one of the 286 charges levied against him, most of which were for the murder of the 224 people killed in the embassy bombings. After a disturbed juror asked to be removed from the deliberation process last week, many feared that the Ghailani trial, the first U.S. detainee trial to be conducted in a civilian court, would yield a hung jury. Few, however, predicted such a propitious verdict for the al-Qeada collaborator, an outcome which carries heavy implication for the Obama administration and its controversial quest to try Guantanamo detainees in the criminal justice system.

One of the more comforting aspects of the major religions is the belief that there is justice in the hereafter and the wicked are ultimately punished. One of the reasons why so many people are willing to risk everything to come to the United States is the belief that we have a system of justice that is fair and impartial, so that even the very poor and politically unconnected can expect a modicum of justice in this country.

At least, that’s what I would like to believe. More importantly, that is what I would like to convey – with conviction – to my children. But it is getting harder and harder to suspend disbelief about our “impartial” judicial system. Read the rest of this entry »

On October 16, 1859, abolitionist John Brown and several followers seized the United States Armory and Arsenal at Harpers Ferry. The actions of Brown’s men brought national attention to the emotional divisions concerning slavery. Brown became a martyr to the abolitionists, a hero murdered for his belief that slavery should be abolished.

Many people (mostly southerners) considered Brown to be a nutcase, what we’d call a homegrown terrorist. President Lincoln said he was a “misguided fanatic” and Brown has been called “the most controversial of all 19th-century Americans.” Historians agree that the Harpers Ferry raid in 1859 escalated tensions that, a year later, led to secession and the American Civil War.

Is Terry Jones a latter-day John Brown? Probably not.

But there are some similarities at play here. The nation is divided, now as then. But now the division is much more existential. We’re not divided over Islam per se; we’re divided over what it means to be an American. There are those of us who consider America to be a force for Good in the world and embrace traditional American virtues of liberty, self-reliance, self-determination, Constitutional republicanism, and free market capitalism – “Traditionalists,” for want of a better term – and then there are those, like President Obama and his followers, who have a completely different view of America and what it means to be an American. I don’t think Obama likes this country very much. I know he hates me and people who believe as I do.

When Obama reflexively sides with our enemies abroad and chastises us for being, well, American, it brings to the surface latent feelings of “otherness,” the sense that we’re being governed by someone who is not one of us, an outsider. Terry Jones may be a kook, but I think I understand his frustration. In retrospect, some similar action was inevitable. Someone, somewhere, was going to challenge the politically unassailable heights of Islam, one way or another. Terry Jones may be the first, but certainly not the last. Look at all the attention he got! Obama is so embarrassingly clueless that I almost feel sorry for the guy. All he managed to do was throw gasoline on a smouldering flame that has now erupted into a firestorm of controversy, lighting the way for other kooks to gain noteriety.

God only knows where this will lead.

MEXICO CITY — Mexican marines found the dumped bodies of 72 people at a rural location in northern Mexico following a shootout with suspected drug cartel gunmen that left one marine and three suspects dead, the Navy reported late Tuesday.

The cadavers of 58 men and 14 women were found at a spot near the Gulf coast south of the border city of Matamoros. It appears to be the largest drug-cartel body dumping ground found in Mexico since President Felipe Calderon launched an offensive against drug trafficking in late 2006.
