Just in time: Iran sentences American marine to death

….and fires up a uranium enrichment plant.

Just when Daley decides to bail too. Wow. 😯

(Reuters) – Iran’s Revolutionary Court has sentenced an Iranian-American man to death for spying for the CIA, officials said on Monday, a move likely to aggravate U.S.-Iranian tensions already high because of Tehran’s disputed nuclear program.
The United States denies that Amir Mirza Hekmati is a spy and has demanded his immediate release. The White House said it was trying to verify the report on his sentencing.
“If true, we strongly condemn such a verdict and will work with our partners to convey our condemnation to the Iranian government,” said Tommy Vietor, spokesman for the White House National Security Council.
Western nations have recently expanded punitive economic sanctions against Iran over suspicions it is trying to develop atomic bombs under the cover of a civilian atomic energy program. The Islamic Republic denies this.
But word from diplomatic sources in Vienna, headquarters of the U.N. nuclear watchdog, that Iran has begun enriching uranium in a mountain bunker protected from possible Western air strikes is likely to heat the atmosphere further.

Nice, Just want Barry needs right now.

Wow, reminds me of an ad I once saw:

Answer the phone, Barry! Answer the freakin’ phone! 😀

Game Over

This is not something that I actually enjoy writing. However, it is time to face facts and just do the right thing. I have been thinking about this for a long time, after writing about politics for six years; for one as a left of center populist type and then for five as a right of center populist type, it is time to hang it up and quit.

This is because I have become so cynical. The entire Tea Party movement was a horrible joke; there was never any intention by the Republican Party to heed the calls of the Tea Party for no more business as usual. The Republican Party is now running a bunch of establishment candidates; even Bachmann is not as “Tea Party” type as some people might believe. She is totally beltway as they come, believe me.

In addition, Blogging has reached the zenith of its cycle. The only people still blogging, are people who are professionals. There is just no room for traditional Conservative voices like mine anymore. I said it in my previous blog entry, Ronald Reagan Conservatism is dead and it has been replaced with the Neo-Conservative, Pro-War, Israel-First manure that pawns itself off as Conservative.

I had hoped that after the Presidency of George W. Bush that the Republican Party would once again find its mooring, as a Party that believed in defending America first and not defending other Nations first or fighting other Nation’s battles for them. Unfortunately, that was not to be and it seems now, that the Republicans are now ringing the bells of war against another sovereign nation —- Iran.

This is not to say that I hate Israel or Jews; that is a ridiculous accusation and it is not even remotely true. I just despise the idiots who say that anyone who criticizes those who are Zionists is somehow Anti-Semitic. This is a tactic of those people, and this video here, proves that. Please note: I do not agree with that video maker’s support of Palestine. I detest the Arabs as much as I do those who abuse the Semite-Card.

I was going to quit when my blog Politicalbyline.com went down; but my Mother suggested to me that I continue writing and that I shall, just not on a blog anymore. I will be submitting various editorials to some websites that I happen to enjoy reading and have wanted to contribute to for a long time. This blogging adventure was a fun one, while it lasted. I, again, have just become too cynical for it. I despise hypocrisy and I am seeing it on full display in the Republican Party.

Therefore, it is time to stop, the battle was worth it, and I fought for what I thought was right. However, there is no winning with these people. They are well funded and I am not. In addition, they will stop at nothing, until you are discredited and smeared beyond recognition. With these people, the truth is not important, only their idiotic propaganda.

For those of you who wish to remain fighting; I commend you. However, I cannot continue.

Good Night and Good Luck.

Russia’s Foreign Minister to Israel: You attack Iran and you will regret it

Bible Prophecy in the making………….

Via the U.K. Telegraph:

In comments published in the Israeli daily Hayom, Mr Peres said that “the possibility of a military attack against Iran is now closer to being applied than the application of a diplomatic option”.
“We must stay calm and resist pressure so that we can consider every alternative,” he added.
The drumbeat of war is expected to grow louder this week when United Nations nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, issues its most detailed report to date on nuclear research in Iran.
It will provide what Western officials and experts regard as irrefutable evidence that Tehran is compiling the capacity and skills to build a bomb. It will be used as leverage for a fifth round of sanctions at the UN, but could also provide Israel, with the tacit support of Washington, to finalise plans for an air strike.
Among its findings are that Tehran was helped by nuclear experts from two countries, believed to be Russia and Pakistan. The Washington Post reported that key assistance was provided by Vyacheslav Danilenko, a former Soviet nuclear scientist, hired by Iran’s Physics Research Centre.

Documents handed over to UN officials showed that he had worked for the Iranians for at least five years, giving lectures and sharing his expertise on developing and testing an explosives package that the Iranians have now succeeded in making part of their blueprint for a nuclear warhead.

Moscow, the closest thing Iran has to a big power ally, is deeply opposed to any military action against the Islamic republic, though Moscow has supported UN Security Council sanctions against Tehran.

“This would be a very serious mistake fraught with unpredictable consequences,” said Mr Lavrov, addressing reporters in Moscow. “Military intervention only leads to a multiple rise in casualties and human suffering.”

Looks like the old school Fundamentalists and dispensationalists, like C.I. Scofield were correct in their feelings years ago; when they said that a move on Israel, by Russia would happen, which would bring forth the second advent of Christ. First, however, the rapture of the Church must happen first. Look up my fellow believers, for your redemption draws near.
