Turkey, Kurds & Crude Influences

Posted on December 4, 2015 by Curtis Greco

Putin is trying to suggest that the Turkish Government is, by their purchasing of confiscated Iraqi Crude Oil, directly funding ISIS however, he’s neglecting to disclose Russia’s own involvement in the very same scam.

Pipelines carrying both Crude Oil & Natural Gas traverse the entire region with the key  lines (for this specific point), coursing their way ultimately into Turkey or thru Syria and on to their terminals on their Mediterranean coast (or in the case of Turkey, to their own refineries or their re-sale facilities which market energy stock to the E.U.). Do note that many of these pipelines originate in Syria, Iraq and Iran. The problem, for both Russia and Turkey, is that a pipeline out of Iraq (to Turkey) runs thru an area now fully controlled by the Kurds while the other, coming from Iran, is being threatened by both the Kurds and other Insurgent elements.  Read more...

Terror-Driven Jihad; Why Not Call it What it Is?

Posted on December 4, 2015 by Curtis Greco

The simple truth is that militant activism, in order to appeal to and control the weakest of mind, requires the most narrowly defined message. Any challenge to that narrative defeats the militancy-attributes of the messenger and their ability to perfect and expand their control.

For the President to change his message would require surrendering control of his personal jihad and confess to his loss of it.  To appropriately address Terror-Driven Militancy a complete reversal of the current message will be necessary; one that will require a direct and explicit attack in direct contradiction to the driving force behind his (own) well-crafted, jihad narrative. I’ve no indications that any of this is about to happen; willingly.  Read more...

Domestic Terror; an Intelligence Problem?

Posted on December 3, 2015 by Curtis Greco

Americans need to understand that no amount of Intelligence will defend against a willing threat targeting an unprotected target or a target unwilling to defend itself. Believing in the theory that surrendering individual liberties, freedoms and unalienable rights will be an adequate substitute for personal defense is equally specious.

The burden of true security rest solely on the individual, and by extension, a national collective of individuals; the American people watching-out for each other by being ever-vigilant in the defense of one another’s freedoms and liberties. Though one might expect the Government to litigate these on your behalf, never ever fall into the trap of believing they will defend or assert them.  Read more...

Trump Remains an Unresolved Problem for GOP

Posted on December 3, 2015 by Curtis Greco

Predicting that the GOP would resolve to Clintonesque Attack Strategies was inevitable and we stated so back in May of 2015. That there would be a move by existing Republic Officeholders to press an anti-Trump footing was also guaranteed and this is simply due to the risk of losing GOP Funding or endorsements required for their re-election.  Read more...

Obamacare Repealing Again? Timing couldn’t be better.

Posted on December 2, 2015 by Curtis Greco

Throw a challenge to the President by not only attempting to repeal key portions of Obamacare, which of course is not a solution, but why not throw in the defunding of Planned Parenthood to make it completely idiotic; just the thing to make the GOP look not-so-elitist and so very conscientious.

The only thing to make this even more predictable would be for the GOP to suggest that Jeb Bush used his Tactical Leadership Skills in a cross-party behind-the-scenes come-to-Jesus-meeting with Harry Reid.  Read more...
