THE COMPLETE COMIC BOOK: This Godless Communism

"Treasure Chest was a monthly comic book published by the Catholic Guild from 1946 to 1972. Each issue featured several different stories intended to inspire citizenship, morality, and patriotism. In the 1961, volume 17 number 2 issue, the story "This Godless Communism" began. It continued in the even numbered issues through number 20. The entire story is presented here."


To read the complete history of Communism (well worth your time, by the way), click the right side of each image to flip through the comic book.

And then perhaps some of the drones can explain to me how purveyors of this vile ideology of slavery and mass-murder became accepted members of the Democrat Party (see: Van Jones, Anita Dunn, Carol Browner, etc.).

PARTNERS IN PEACE: Hamas Terrorists Drag Accused "Spy" Through Streets

But I'm sure he had the benefit of a trial and appeal process:

EXCLUSIVE SPACKLE-VISION PHOTOS: Internal military emails reveal details on bin Laden's burial

Biff Spackle points us to this Fox News report, along with two exclusive photos:

Internal emails among senior U.S. military officers indicate that no sailors watched Usama bin Laden's burial at sea from the USS Carl Vinson and traditional Islamic procedures were followed during the ceremony.

...One email sent on May 2 by a senior Navy officer briefly describes how bin Laden's body was washed, wrapped in a white sheet, and then placed in a weighted bag... According to another message, only a small group of the ship's leadership was informed of the burial.

"Traditional procedures for Islamic burial was followed," the May 2 email from Rear Adm. Charles Gaouette reads. "The deceased's body was washed (ablution) then placed in a white sheet. The body was placed in a weighted bag. A military officer read prepared religious remarks, which were translated into Arabic by a native speaker. After the words were complete, the body was placed on a prepared flat board, tipped up, whereupon the deceased's body slid into the sea."

The email also included a cryptic reference to the intense secrecy surrounding the mission. "The paucity of documentary evidence in our possession is a reflection of the emphasis placed on operational security during the execution of this phase of the operation," Gaouette's message reads. Recipients of the email included Adm. Mike Mullen, then the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Gen. James Mattis, the top officer at U.S. Central Command.

...Although the Obama administration has pledged to be the most transparent in American history, it is keeping a tight hold on materials related to the bin Laden raid. In a response to separate requests from the AP for information about the mission, the Defense Department said in March that it could not locate any photographs or video taken during the raid or showing bin Laden's body. It also said it could not find any images of bin Laden's body on the Vinson.

...The Pentagon also said it could not find any death certificate, autopsy report or results of DNA identification tests for bin Laden, or any pre-raid materials discussing how the government planned to dispose of bin Laden's body if he were killed.

Fortunately, Biff Spackle also located an elusive photo of Bin Laden's real burial at sea.


Shhh. No one tell the most transparent administration evah.

KYLE BASS ON THE COMING GLOBAL COLLAPSE: "Potemkin villages on a Jurassic scale"

Investor Kyle Bass made his first billion shorting the housing market just before the 2008 collapse. And his warnings about the current sovereign debt crisis appear just as prescient. The mathematics -- and his logic -- are unassailable.

In a nutshell: we are very close to the endgame of Keynesian can-kicking. Which means: the real crisis has yet to begin`.

...Converting all balances to USD, central bankers around the world have expanded their balance sheets beyond$13 trillion, from only $3 trillion ten years ago. Global central banks’ assets now comprise at least a quarter of all global GDP – up from only 10% in 2002...


...As investors, what do we think about the quadrupling of central bank balance sheets to over $13 trillionin the last ten years? It certainly doesn't make me feel any better to say it fast or forget that we moved ever so quickly from million to billion to trillion dollar problems. It has become increasingly clear over the last four years that the common denominator in policy response to financial crises is, and will continue to be, more central bank easing (printing money) to finance fiscal deficits. Let us recap the actions of three of the four most prominent, powerful and influential central banks in the world over the course of the last several weeks...


...Central bankers are feverishly attempting to create their own new world: a utopia in which debts are never restructured, and there are no consequences for fiscal profligacy, i.e. no atonement for prior sins.They have created Potemkin villages on a Jurassic scale. The sum total of the volatility they are attempting to suppress will be less than the eventual volatility encountered when their schemes stop working. Most refer to comments like this as heresy against the orthodoxy of economic thought. We have a hard time understanding how the current situation ends any way other than a massive loss of wealth and purchasing power through default, inflation or both...

...As each 100 basis points in cost of capital costs the US federal government over $150 billion, the US simply cannot afford for another Paul Volcker to raise rates and contain inflation once it begins...


...It took the United States 193 years (1789-1981) to aggregate $1 trillion of government debt. It then took 20 years (1981-2001) to add an additional $4.8 trillion and, in the last 10 years (2001-2011), a whopping $9.8 trillion has been added to the federal debt. Since 1981, the US increased its sovereign debt by 1,560% while its population increased by only 35%...


...Our belief is that markets will eventually take these matters out of the hands of the central bankers. These events will happen with such rapidity that policy makers won’t be able to react fast enough.

The fallacy of the belief that countries that print their own currency are immune to sovereign crisis will be disproven in the coming months and years. Those that treat this belief as axiomatic will most likely bethe biggest losers. A handful of investors and asset managers have recently discussed an emerging school of thought, which postulates that countries, as the sole manufacturer of their currency, can never become insolvent, and in this sense, governments are not dependent on credit markets to remain fiscally operational. It is precisely this line of thinking which will ultimately lead the sheep to slaughter...


...How many Japanese have questioned how (if ever) a quadrillion yen of debt will ever be repaid when it represents over 20X central government revenues? (Answer: it can't be)

Very few participants are aware of the enormity and severity of the problems the developed world faces. Those that are aware are frantically trying to come up with the next “solution” to the debt problems. In our opinion (which hasn't changed since 2008), the only long-term solution is to continue to expand program after program until the only path left is a full restructuring (read: default) of most sovereign debts of the developed nations of the world (a la late 1930s and early 1940s when 48% of the world’s countries restructured their debts)...

Sadly, looking back through economic history, all too often war is the manifestation of simple economic entropy played to its logical conclusion. We believe that war is an inevitable consequence of the current global economic situation...

Read the whole damn thing. Bass could be wrong, but I wouldn't bank on it.



HAMAS AND THE NAZIS: The Real History

The terror group Hamas has been making headlines for its thousands of missile attacks on Israeli cities over the last several months. Its parent group, according to NBC News, is the Muslim Brotherhood, the very same extremists currently governing Egypt. What the media fail to tell the American public is that the roots of Hamas and the Brotherhood lie with Adolf Hitler, the Nazi Party, and the Third Reich.

The Brotherhood, too, has been in the news, most recently for its takeover of the Egyptian government, its invitation to the White House, and its shadowy ties to the State Department through longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin. But what exactly is The Muslim Brotherhood?

Throughout his presidency, Barack Obama has refused to use the word "terror", let alone "Islamic terrorism", when it comes to describing the unceasing series of attacks launched at the behest of a fanatical ideology.

In October 2005 President George W. Bush used the term “Islamic fascist” for the first time to describe the Muslim barbarians at war with the West. He denounced them as movements that have a “violent and political vision”, and call for “the establishment... of a totalitarian empire that denies all political and religious freedom.”

The Muslim groups which today seek to bring about a global totalitarian empire are not only fascists, but can trace their origins to Nazism and its genocidal ambitions.

The ideology of the Islamists whose ranks today include not only al-Qaeda but also Hamas and Hezbollah -- originated with Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood. And the Muslim Brotherhood finds not just its roots, but much of its symbolism, terminology, and common cause deep within the origins of Nazism.

Hassan al-Banna (1906 - 1949) was born into the family of a poor watchmaker in southern Egypt. As a child, he was attracted to the extremist aspects of Islam, which were hostile to Western secularism and to its system of rights, particularly women's rights.

While still in his teens, the young al-Banna and friends (they referred to each other as ‘brethren’) met frequently to discuss the situation in the Middle East, to argue about the ills of Arab society, and to lament the decline of Islam. Their angst was in large part a reaction to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the end of the Muslim Caliphate, the British occupation of Egypt, and the resulting exposure of Arab society to Western values.

In order to strike back against these evils, al-Banna founded the Muslim Brotherhood in 1928. Among the perspectives he drew on to address these issues were the anti-capitalist doctrines of European Marxism and especially fascism.

The group expanded during the 1930’s as Al-Banna would describe, in inflammatory speeches, the horrors of hell expected for heretics, and consequently, the need for Muslims to return to their purest religious roots, re-establish the Caliphate, and resume the great and final holy war, or jihad, against the non-Muslim world.

And The Award For Best Gun Camera Footage Goes To...

The IDF!


The other nominees in the best gun camera footage category are here and here.


Hat tip: Dan from New York.

KNOCK KNOCK: Who's there? Hellfire. Hellfire who?

Hellfire missile up your kazoo.

The IDF assassinated the head of Hamas' rocket program, Yahyia Byya, after a heavy barrage of rocket fire engulfed Ashdod Sunday afternoon.


The assassination was directly ordered by Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz.

Army sources say that Byya was directly responsible for the majority of rockets that have been fired on Israel.

Hey, the IDF gave the erstwhile Nazis fair warning. They told them a few days ago to not show their faces above ground.

Hey, Yahyia, can I get you some ice for that?

THE OBAMA DOCTRINE: Helpful Foreign Policy Cheat Sheet

A quick review -- and a reminder that elections have consequences.

Libya is supplying Hamas with the most advanced weaponry it's ever had

Iran's Green Revolution was crushed by the Mullahs with the tacit approval of Barack Obama

Egypt -- an ostensible ally of the U.S. and Israel -- was thrown under the bus by Barack Obama, ceding control of the country to the erstwhile Nazi-aligned Muslim Brotherhood

Algeria and Tunisia are likewise aligning with Al Qaeda

Jordan, Israel's last regional ally -- is also about to fall

• And Turkey, once a secular and stabilizing force in the Middle East, is now succumbing to a radical brand of Islamism. Even better: it's a member of NATO

Israel is surrounded.

And where is Barack Obama as the rockets fall on Jerusalem, Tel Avis and Sderot?

Who knows? If you have Beyonce or Jay-Z's cell numbers, perhaps we could find out.

Say a prayer for Israel tonight.

And remember: if Israel falls, we're next.


SHOCK! EXCLUSIVE! MUST CREDIT BIFF SPACKLE: Stunning Photo of Israeli Brutality Against Innocent Jihadis!!!!!!!!!


Rest assured that Anderson Cooper and the rest of the propagandist-nincompoops at CNN will run with it.

TWEETS OF WAR: IDF Edition

Dude.





Oh, and would you raise your child in this neighborhood?



AHMED JABARI ON FACEBOOK: Major Change in Relationship Status!

Should I write a congratulatory note on his wall?


The official notice of the change in status was posted on Twitter by the IDF:


Good riddance.


TERRORISTS OR WAR-CRIMINALS: Which best describes Hamas?

But, to be sure, both apply.

In recent days and weeks, Hamas and the other terrorist organizations in Gaza have made normal life impossible for over one million Israelis. No government would tolerate a situation where nearly a fifth of its people live under a constant barrage of rockets and missile fire, and Israel will not tolerate this situation.


This is why my government has instructed the Israeli Defense Forces to conduct surgical strikes against the terrorist infrastructure in Gaza. And this is why Israel will continue to take whatever action is necessary to defend our people.

I want to remind you that seven years ago, Israel withdrew from every square inch of Gaza. Now Hamas, they took over the areas we vacated. What did it do? Rather than build a better future for the residents of Gaza, the Hamas leadership, backed by Iran, turned Gaza into a terrorist stronghold.

They fired thousand of rockets at our cities, at our towns, at our civilians, at our children. They’ve smuggled thousands of rockets and missiles into Gaza, and they deliberately place these rockets and missiles in civilian areas: in homes, in schools, near hospitals. This year alone, the fired over one thousand rockets and missiles at Israel, included close to 200 rockets in the last 24 hours.

Hamas is committing -- and has committed for years -- war crimes. War crimes by the thousands.

In fact, its actions over the last few weeks represent a "double war-crime":

Targeting civilians? Check.

Using human shields? Check.

If it were up to me, I'd bomb Gaza into the Stone Age. Which, of course, would be an improvement over a Hamas-led government.

REMEMBER THE BENGHAZI FOUR: The Bumper Sticker

From the artisans at The Morlock Revolt:


They're only charging $3.95 a sticker. Order yours today.


A MILLION ISRAELIS HAVE 15 SECONDS TO FIND SHELTER: Any other country would have turned Gaza into the Bonneville Salt Flats

If Hillary Clinton weren't ducking the growing Benghazi scandal enjoying "wine-tastings" in Australia, I'd ask her, Hey, Hill, how's that Arab Spring thingamabob workin' out?"

"If an alarm is sounded, people in southern Israel—1 million people—have 15 seconds to find shelter. I don’t know if any of your governments will accept this reality. I cannot accept this." -- PM Netanyahu



Some simple facts about the ongoing Blitzkrieg from Gaza:

  • +120 rockets have been fired at Israel this week.
  • +760 rockets have been fired at Israel in 2012.
  • +2500 rockets have been fired at Israel since 2009.
  • Terrorists hold more than 10,000 rockets in Gaza.
  • One million Israelis, 14% of the population, are under the threat of rocket fire.
    • That is equivalent to 44 million U.S. citizens under the threat of rocket fire.
  • Gaza terrorists targeted an IDF jeep this week, injuring four soldiers. (Video)
  • Hamas rules the Gaza strip and is responsible for all that occurs in Gaza and all that is launched form there.
  • Hamas, supported by Iran, has wielded authority over the Gaza Strip since 2007.

  • No other state would accept a similar reality.
  • The targets of the Israeli operation are all military.
  • Hamas and the other terrorist organizations hide among the civilian population of Gaza. They also deliberately direct their fire at the civilian population of Israel. These acts constitute a double war crime.
  • Israel will make every effort to prevent harm to the civilian population of Gaza, and regrets any injury to civilians.
  • The border crossings from Israel to the Gaza Strip remain open, allowing for the routine passage of goods and humanitarian aid.
  • The international community must act to stop the attacks on Israel from the Gaza Strip. The message to Hamas should be clear: stop the attacks on Israel.
  • Time and again, Israel has warned that it would not tolerate these attacks.

Watch the videos. It's like the Battle of Britain being reenacted in Israel.

If I were commanding the IDF, my calculus would be very simple: we will level block by block, town by town, city by city, until the attacks stop.

No other country on Earth would tolerate a million citizens fleeing for bomb shelters dozens of times per day.

It's time to draw a line in the sand. And if that line happens to be as wide as Gaza, so be it.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: The Petraeus-Broadwell-Kelley Timeline

For your consideration, I've assembled an approximate timeline of the various skulduggery involving Petraeus, Broadwell and Kelley.

11/15/11 Affair between Petraeus and Broadwell said to begin
01/24/12 "All In", Broadwell's biography of Petraeus, released
05/15/12 Jill Kelley begins receiving threatening emails from Broadwell
07/04/12 Affair between Petraeus and Broadwell said to end
08/15/12 A.G. Holder notified of affair between Petraeus and Broadwell
09/11/12 Ambassador Stevens, three other Americans killed in Benghazi
09/14/12 Petraeus testifies under oath that killings started as protest over video
10/26/12 Broadwell reveals secret CIA prison in Benghazi during Denver speech
10/27/12 Republicans including Eric Cantor informed of Petraeus affair
11/07/12 White House claims it was first notified of Petraeus affair
11/11/12 Jill Kelley hires law firm

The timeline is intriguing.

Investors Business Daily muses that the administration may have used their discovery of the Petraeus affair as leverage for false testimony before Congress.

What say you, dear reader?

MUST READ: We Have Lost

Spotted at Denny's Place, a guest post by Casey:

Dear Friends:

The most productive people, the small business owners, the entrepreneurs and the honest wage earners of America are so demoralized right now I am not sure we will recover as a country. We have lost the most important election of our lifetime and did so after giving our best effort, spent the most money ever and working the hardest we have ever worked. The very people that America needs the most to generate a real recovery now have the least motivation to do so and worse, lack the confidence necessary to even justify the effort.

We opposed a foe who was so obviously incompetent, corrupt and inept in leadership we really expected a landslide victory and a redeeming mandate to return the nation to conservative values. Instead what we got was a harsh slap in the face by an American public telling us it is not like us and it no longer believes in what we believe in.

As a country we are hopelessly divided by a malignant polarization approaching that which divided us prior to the Civil War. Our side will not march in the streets, but the rebellion, protests and resistance will be just as determined -- though more subtle. The American can-do spirit, our optimism, our traditional dependence on our own ingenuity is now mere kindling on the advancing flame of an insidious yet steadily advancing socialism.

Those of us who create real jobs, invest our capital, our fortunes and take the risks to build America, feel betrayed. The fundamentals of honest effort and hard work rendering the rewards associated with capitalism seem now like a cruel joke. We are now a targeted enemy not to be governed but coerced into submission by a lazy, corrupt, vindictive, arrogant government that is out for revenge, redistribution -- and to add a final insult -- one we believe is too morally bankrupt to lead.

The usual safeguards for a democracy found in a vibrant, independent press have lost any semblance of objectivity and instead have joined a side. What used to be principled, independent reporters have morphed into dishonest pundits spewing a disgustingly relentless partisan bile that neither informs nor educates. They are shallowly manipulated by the political marketers to the point that their words lack meaning. The "fourth branch" of government has become nothing more than an empty cathode ray irradiating a mind-numbed audience like a repetitive Beavis and Butthead rerun.

We have elected a President who not only feels we did not work for what we have, but feels we do not deserve it either. Had it gone the other way, Obama supporters would have torched America. Instead they will now legitimately consume it by gnawing at the soft underbelly of what was once her prosperity. Our Judeo-Christian culture -- that those on the left revile and call "extreme" -- now has as much relevance as a three-minute YouTube video.

Fighting for God and Country has now a new meaning, they will fight for Obama-Bucks, work the system, because this President gave them the right to do so.

C.W.

P.S. For starters, my next car(s) will be built, at a non-union plant, located in Lincoln, Alabama.

Denny adds, "My two BMW's were both built in South Carolina. I will never purchase an American car built by the UAW."

I agree. For starters, anything built by a union here in America should be ignored. If they're at war with us, we need to return the favor.

WHAT HAPPENED IN BENGHAZI? Michelle Malkin spotted this SUV while driving around today

Via @Roswell2001:


Investors Business Daily asks an intriguing question -- and backs it up: "Was David Petraeus blackmailed by his own government??"


WE KEEP ALL OF THE SCANDALS STRAIGHT SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO: Today's U.S. Foreign Policy Update

Facts:

• The Ambassador to Libya was assassinated on September 11th, along with three other Americans, during a 7-hour running gun-battle

• Iranian fighter jets attempted to shoot down a U.S. aircraft over international waters

• The President's most trusted adviser was sent to Iran to secretly beg the Iranians to come to some kind of an accommodation regarding their nuclear program

• The CIA director provided false testimony under oath to Congress about the nature of the attacks that killed the U.S. Ambassador

• The CIA director was schtupping his biographer and could have been blackmailed by the White House to lie under oath

• For the first time in decades, a Russian nuclear attack submarine skirted the East Coast of the U.S.

• And the White House appears to have been operating a secret rendition prison in Benghazi, in direct violation of the President's own orders

Oh. And one other facet to consider: the background or existence of each of these incidents was carefully and purposefully hidden from the public until after the election.

If the Watergate break-in and the subsequent cover-up by the Nixon administration merited impeachment, these crimes against the American people deserve something far more draconian.

What else is this administration hiding?
