Old Jarhead's Political
SitRep for June 3, 2013
Robert A. Hall
Your one-stop-shop for political news and opinion. Please
forward to friends who need to be informed. This SitRep (Military for
“Situation Report”) is created by many readers who send me items for inclusion,
which I would have likely missed or skipped. And I can only spend at most three
hours a night pulling stuff, plus the healthcare or economic stuff that crosses
my desk at work. As always, I—and you—owe them thanks and appreciation. I post
articles because I think they are of interest and will stimulate thought and
discussion. Doing so doesn’t mean that I necessarily agree (or disagree) with
every—or any—opinion in the posted article, or that I was able to verify the
information presented, which is the responsibility of the author. I try not to
post things that are false, or too far a stretch, regardless of the view point,
but I don’t always succeed. As always on the Net, or in the legacy media, you
must read critically and with skepticism.

Snaking the Scotch. By David P. Goldman
Ethnocentrism is the snake in Christianity's garden, and
last week it slithered into the Church of Scotland. It took the form of a
screed denying the special claim of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel Scotland
claims to be the only country in Europe that
never had a pogrom against the Jews. But that was because, he said, the
Christians were too busy slaughtering each other over ever-smaller pieces of
doctrine to worry about the Jews. ~Bob.)

5-Star Reader Reviews
of The Hand of the Prophet
This short novel is riveting. It takes place in 2053, but
the recent beheading of a British soldier, and the attempt to do the same to a
French soldier by Muslims shouting "Allahu Akbar," warns us that the
future of 2053 has already arrived. The story is graphic, and will not pass
Politically Correct censors as bedtime reading for children. But then, under PC
thinking, the historical facts of Islam's past and present atrocities in Europe
and the Middle East are not bedtime reading
for kids either. Or is it? Perhaps it is high time to tell our children -- and
each other -- what the imposition of Shariah Law would mean, and what daily
life under the rule of Muslims means to anyone who does not subscribe to their
beliefs. And the practice of their beliefs is horrible indeed. Set in a simple
farmland community, the story clearly describes what it is to be an infidel --
a Christian or Jew or even an atheist -- living under Islamic rulers who are as
cruel, fanatical, cynical, and corrupt as those in Islamic countries today.
Beware. The subjugation and sexual abuse of women, the institution of slavery,
and the barbarous punishments mandated by the Koran, are all shown in this book
in detail. What particularly struck me was the description of how members of a
modern American farming community could be reduced to a crude medieval life by
the institution of Islamic teachings. It shows Americans in the sad state of
Muslim peasants everywhere: sunk in mud, blood and horror for the benefit and
luxury of their Islamic rulers. Read this book. It will not take long unless
you stop too often to catch your breath when you read about what Islam,
"the religion of peace," truly means. You will find yourself cheering
for the few who resist.
Roll the timeline back by about 200 years and this could
very well be our future. I thought this was a well-written story that does a
good job of portraying the Islamic obsession with sex and punishment. It also
paints a larger picture of the degradation of progress under theocracy. Some of
the more brutal images were disturbing, but then I remembered that this is
exactly how the early Muslim community is presented by its historians. Devoted
Muslims pattern themselves on the life of the prophet - and this is what the
spoils of war look like.
Excerpt: I don't know how many of you read those "well
scrubbed" talking points that Jay Carney and Ambassador Rice were ordered
to present in the Benghazi Scandal Road Show in the aftermath of the tragic and
unnecessary deaths of four Americans. But I did....and I was damned impressed! When
the policy wonks got through scrubbing the field reports from the "boots
on the ground" this debacle didn't look too damned bad! Obama's minions
were able to scrub out the weeks old request from the Ambassador to beef up his
security detail.
Washington Post: The
Justice Department has allowed us to say AG Holder supports press freedom
Excerpt: Among those who did
attend was the Washington Post. Today’s Post has an account of the

about what the Justice Department allowed them to say about its efforts to
protect press freedom. The result is just beyond parody (All emphasis is
added):

officials may not always obtain warrants when they snoop through our emails,
Facebook messages and other electronic communications and the FBI apparently
doesn't even believe it's legally required to do so.

Brawl breaks out at Ohio
Excerpt: A brawl that started over spilled punch at
a kindergarten graduation ceremony Friday resulted in the arrest of eight

pipe and another a hammer. (Wow! Back when I to kindergarten, we didn't have
cool stuff like this going on! As a matter of fact, I barely remember
kindergarten at all. I'll bet these kids will remember theirs, though. - LLW)
Black mob violence —

Excerpt: "Why did they not produce for it four
witnesses? And when they do not produce the witnesses, then it is they, in the
sight of Allah , who are the liars." -- Qur'an 24:13 The Council of Islamic Ideology rejects DNA testing as
primary evidence because it isn't mentioned in the Qur'an. The Qur'an mandates
that four witnesses are required to establish sexual crimes
-- zina -- and that's that. Women are victimized by this ridiculous
and impossible rule? Who cares? It's the will of Allah. (Teen rape victims have
been stoned to death for adultery because they didn't have four witnesses.
Ain't Shari'a wonderful? ~Bob.)
