In the 1930’s the Japanese Empire had the military acumen to be a Super Power in Asia and the Pacific Islands in the Japanese sphere of influence. There was one problem Japan faced with their powerful military and hegemonic agenda. Japan did not have the natural resources to maintain a military in the event a nation with natural resources challenged the expansion of the Japanese Asian grip.
Japan needed oil and metals to be a powerhouse. Japan was fully aware their expansionism would collide with the National Interests of America eventually. Preparation was needed for this confrontation. The only logical solution for a nation with the hubris of go-it-alone self-determination was to prepare tactical scenarios to weaken or strike fear in the American government to try to mold a revision of the American National Interests in the Pacific and Asian economies.
After weighing the tactics it was decided to try to take out the strength of America’s Pacific Fleet; thus the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Like it or not oil is even more important today as a source of energy today than in the 1930’s. Oil has empowered the Islamist dream of a global Muslim spread of their religion in the style of the glory days of using the sword and fear exampled by their prophet Mohammed. Without oil the Middle East would still be a third rate collection of clannish dominated nations with Islam confined. Industrially or Economic powerhouses would have zero interest in camel jockey land and Muslim Middle Easterners would probably have no interests outside of regional clannish/national interests of petty squabbling.
Indeed though there is an abundance of oil in the Middle East and it is controlled by nations that serve the harshest and conservative interpretations of their Quran, Hadith, Sunna, etc.
America and Western Europe have been natural allies since the end of WWII. Present day Russia and the former Soviet Union had their own political agenda of spreading repressive Communism (really Russian hegemony in the name of Communism). China was somewhat under the Russian orbit of Communism but fiercely independent and weaker than Russia and America industrially.
As interdependent Globalism began to evolve in the economies of the world, things began to change.
Eastern Europe became liberated from the grasp of a weakened Russia after the fall of repressive Communism as the governing principle. Russia by no means the Super Power of the USSR days, but still powerful enough to have hegemonic designs in their immediate region.
Global economics suddenly saw the flow of capital into India and (ironically anti-capitalist) Communist China.
Suddenly China had the money to build a military infrastructure that will eventually challenge or test the strength of the current hyper-power America.
Globalism has conjoined the world into a global economy in which the power of capitalism (for better or worse) connected humanity for the first time in a state that transforms National Interests to the Global Interests of individuals.
There are two huge down sides to this Global Interest. There are still powerful nation-states that have developed cultural values that do not match the Global Interests.
America has iconized its Constitution as the measuring stick of what Freedom, Liberty, Civil Rights, Domestic Tranquility and the Pursuit of Happiness is. There is political polarization on defining the direction of those freedoms; nonetheless on both sides of the polls the essence of the Constitution is sacrosanct.
Western Europe has taken a more egalitarian definition of Liberty and Freedom that has led more to the rights of multicultural or group Liberty rather than individual Liberty; thus the attempt to balance what constitutes a hate crime or an offense to a cultural group or group phenomena.
The relatively new acquisition of freedom in Western Europe is trying to discover the path of American Liberty, European Liberty and the former rule of Law left behind from Soviet control.
Whether Russia has been Czarist, Communist or toying with the concepts of Democracy; has always been the State defines the welfare of the people. I believe Russia will eventually lose most of the tenets of Democracy to go back to what it knows best on how to govern their people; i.e. a combination of benevolence and the stick to inspire Russian Patriotism and Pride from the State. This means Russia will again challenge Europeans and America with their own hegemonic goals (at least regionally).
There is the Third World. The Third World struggles to instill Democracy while battling the evils of political and/or criminal corruption or they are just plain dominated by a strong man with some kind of military support to remain in power until a revolution or assassination replaces one strong man for another.
And of course there are the oil Baron Nations of which most are Muslim and being Muslim and feeling empowered by oil wish to spread political Islam globally.
So here is the problem: there is actually a Global Interest that affects individuals economically but no power structure to enforce the Global Interest. Why? The reason is the globe is still ruled by Nations – some good and some bad (and flowing to downright evil). Their ideologies clash forming diverging National Interests according to the ideology. When the National Interests clash it boils down to one mitigating factor in this day and age – oil and how to attain it economically.
The day that oil threatens the ideology of the Nation or Nations that have military clout regardless of ideology or religion, the next global war will occur.
Look around. Nations are slowly gravitating toward alliances (that may become official some day) in which the National Interests are shared and oil is the target.
Islamism may be the spark as the assassination of Franz Ferdinand was the spark for WWI; however it will be oil that is the prize sought.
I’ve written all this because America is focused (rightly so) on the Global War on Terror; however China is slowly becoming that nation (like Japan) that will be desperate for oil as a resource to the Asian and Pacific hegemon.
And again which nation is the greatest obstacle to acquiring oil and Asian hegemony? Yep, it is the United States of America.
A Chinese surprise attack will not be with planes launching from Chinese Air Craft Carriers on Pearl Harbor. It will start with surgical nukes from their submarine fleet that will first target global communications then military targets to cripple the best human fighting force the world has ever seen.
I don’t think I am exaggerating. READ THIS!
Well – Well – Well! One of the most famous pollsters in the world has been caught validating conclusions from data that is dubious. That pollster organization is Gallup. The authors that cooked the data are John L. Esposito and Dalia Mogahed. The books title is "Who Speaks for Islam?" The end game of the book is to establish the amount of 1.6 billion of the world’s Muslims that are radical Islamists is very miniscule.
In an interview Mogahed (probably unwittingly) showed the data gathering was flawed as well as the way in which the conclusions were derived.
So again I say WAKE UP AMERICA! Mohammedan civilization is NOT compatible with Western civilization’s evolved democratic principles of Liberty, Freedom and the Pursuit of Happiness; and that especially applies to America. European democracy has been so infected with egalitarian tolerance that radical Mohammedans use Western principles to slowly infect Europe’s Western culture with the virus of Islamism.
I was alerted to this pro-Mohammedan propaganda by Act! For America in an email. The email informs this:
Cooking the Books to Mask the Number of Islamic Radicals
In a stunning illustration of how apologists for militant Islam flat-out distort the truth, Robert Satloff writes in the Weekly Standard how John Esposito and Dalia Mogahed “cooked the books” to make their own data appear to show there were only a small percentage of “radical” Muslims worldwide.
Esposito and Mogahed make the claim that only 7% of Muslims worldwide are “radical.” That amounts to about 91 million Muslims. No small number.
But a closer examination of their data reveal that the number of those who are “radical” is actually at least twice that many, and more likely three to four times that many – or between 300 million and 480 million Muslims worldwide!
To discover just how they pulled off this sleight of hand, click on the link below to read Satloff’s article.

Remember the National Intelligence Estimate of 2007 that proclaimed to the world that Iran had abandoned a weapons program in connection with the building of their weapons grade nuclear plant?
When that NIE report came out Iran crowed the big International “I told you so.”
But here is the thing: the NIE 2007 contradicted previous NIE reports and did not align with Israeli Intelligence. Many anti-war Westerners obviously would slough off Israeli Intelligence due to the fact that Israel and Iran are mortal enemies publicly in the war of words and behind the back door with the hushed diplomatic channels on obvious Iranian military supplies to Hezbollah and Hamas. Those two Islamist murdering terrorists (one is Shi’ite and the latter is Sunni) have one agenda: the destruction of Israel and the genocide of Jews.
But lo and behold it is becoming evident that NIE 2007 was a report put together by pro-Arab/pro-Islam oil authors because recent events (including the Israeli destruction of a secret Syrian nuclear program) and verified Intelligence from both British and Israeli Intelligence sheds light on a different outcome than NIE 2007. That outcome is indeed that Iran is has a nuke weapons program.
Apparently if the pro-Arab/pro-oil American Intelligence is willing to look the other way to embarrass the Bush Administration, Mossad of Israel and MI6 of Britain are collaborating and putting Intelligence notes that are leaning strongly to another conclusion completely divergent of the American Intelligence Community (an amalgam of Intelligence Agencies) headed by the Director of National Intelligence that collated the data to arrive at the NIE 2007 conclusion on Iran’s agenda.
Mossad and MI6 believe there is substantial evidence to execute some form of military strike on Iran to slow down or hopefully end Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Israel is even willing to risk a go it alone mission. Israel is hoping to get at least an OK from Washington and London to back up such an expedition since Leftists in both nations would scream bleeding heart murder if the American and British governments participated in such an endeavor.
My guess is that an Israeli strike would provoke a Middle Eastern free-for-all military chess that would draw America and possibly Western nations into the fray. That is not even mentioning the probable support of Iran by Russia and China that could range from limited to the extreme.
Wake up America! The Islamist/Western confrontation is on the horizon.
Once again thanks to Act! For America more of the Islamist agenda is being exposed. Brigitte Gabriel’s grass roots organization has shown a link that is a six part YouTube rebroadcast of a UK television station’s infiltration of a Mosque in Britain demonstrating that Mohammedans lie (they call it taqiyya or various spellings). Mohammedan organizations in the West will tell the public and the government they are an interfaith or Muslim rights group dedicated to protecting the rights of Muslim and to being moderate good citizens of the nation they live in. It is all a lie!
Islamists have a two pronged attack on Western Culture (Wake-up Americans): the use of terrorism to create fear and Fifth Column infiltration to infest Western Culture from within utilizing Freedom and Liberty as a weapon against the West.
The Six Part YouTube videos of the UK television station’s exposé shows what really goes on in Islamofascist Mosques. My fellow Americans, if it is happening in the United Kingdom be assured the same heinous agenda to bring down the American Way and thus our beloved Constitutional Freedoms is hideously alive in America.

Undercover Reporter in United Kingdom Films Islamofascism in Action !!
Act! For America
Email Sent: April 28, 2008 3:39:33 PM
Over a year ago, a United Kingdom television station dispatched a reporter to go undercover into mosques in the UK.
In a series of blockbuster video reports that have been posted on YouTube, viewers get to see for themselves what Brigitte Gabriel and others have been warning about for years.
In just the first installment, you will see imams proclaiming:
“Allah has created the woman deficient…If she doesn’t wear the hijab, we hit her.”
“You have to live like a state within a state until you take over.”
“The pinnacle, the crest, the summit of Islam, is jihad.”
In that same installment you will see how a large Muslim organization in the UK has a “special” chat room for communication not meant for non-Muslims to see.
You will see how imams despise non-believers and call for jihad against them.
But what is most relevant for us in America, is that the Saudi Arabian religious establishment that provides the materials and the teaching that is going on inside these British mosques also provides the materials and the teaching for many – if not most – mosques here in the United States.
So when you click on the link below to view these undercover videos, remind yourself that this is what is happening in mosques right here in America — perhaps in your community, and even right down the street from you!

If you aren’t able to see these videos on your computer, find someone who can.
Words alone do not do justice to the reality of the threat we are facing. Please click on the link above, view one or more of the videos, and then forward this email to everyone you know.

Hans Gruen has posted a proposed version of a fictional 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution. The theme of Gruen’s Amendment is to declare Islam (I prefer Mohammedanism) NOT a religion and instead a political ideology.
Frankly I agree with Gruen’s assessment (particularly radical Islamism); however I fear the American public is not convinced Mohammedanism is more a political ideology than a religion.
One of Gruen’s commenters noted that a call for an Amendment to outlaw Mohammedanism has been thought upon already. There is even a petition going around the Internet to outlaw Mohammedanism. I am going to seek out and sign this petition; however I am fairly certain (at this point) that the lack of Jihad education in America will find this Amendment repugnant.
A grassroots movement in America needs to be started (something like Gabriel's - Act! For America - has began) to spread the word about the ideology of Mohammedanism as opposed to the religious practice of Mohammedanism.
I think a better possibility is to enact an Amendment to the Constitution declaring America a nation with a Judeo-Christian heritage without establishing any particular Jewish sect (Orthodox, Conservative or Reformed) or Christian Denominations (Variations of Protestantism, Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox etc.) as a State religion.
This would simultaneously deal with Secular Humanism war on Christianity and radical Islam.
The American Congress for Truth emailed a summary of Steven Emerson’s testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. The email is dated April 14 the reposted article is dated April 10, 2008 from the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT).
Emerson writes that al-Qaeda has regained strength thanks to safe havens in Pakistan. He also touches on his astonishment (and mine and should be all Americans) of the government use of Mohammedan-American organizations that have links to terrorism abroad.
Also Emerson touches on the nefariousness of the behind the scenes support of Islamist organization known as the Muslim Brotherhood.
As part of my goal to expose Islamism as a Fifth Column contingent within America and an anti-American force for violence from foreign terrorists, I encourage you to read Emerson’s testimony.

I operate many blogs, some of a social nature and a few are just blogs for anyone to show up. My pet blog is SlantRight.com. My son has purchased the rights to the name and operates it on his servers for me for free. It is the Dad discount.
I rarely spread comments from one blog to the others; however I received a comment from “More Democrat ‘aid and comfort’ to the enemy” on my Mindsay blog which is more of a social blog. The comment was made by a person that goes by the moniker of Moralnihilist. Moralnihilist said little but it irked me a lot. So I am sharing my distinct charm around in my reply.
Moralnihilist said:
The purpose of the Iraq war was to line the pockets of George W Bush's oil buddies, nothing more. There were no weapons of mass destruction. Iraq was no threat. ...
We've already spent 10 times what we spent in Vietnam, and the cost in lives has been tragic.
I guess Ann Coulter is correct: Liberals Lie!
The Dems and Bush reacted to the same Intelligence of the time. Even President Clinton understood that Saddam Hussein was dangerous but did not have the cajones to do what GW did. Clinton's awareness of Iraq and transnational terrorists may never be completely known because the treasonous Dem used his security clearance to destroy classified material related to Clinton.
Whether or not the validity of WMD in Iraq is actual or mystified is irrelevant. The fact remains Hussein has shown in the past no hesitation to attack his neighbors for hegemonic gain and profit (with Iran the US aided him and with Kuwait we were against him). This is not to mention the brutality that Hussein and his psycho-sons inflicted on Iraqi citizens. Even now in 2008 mass graves of slaughtered men, women and children are haphazardly stumbled upon.
The only reason the U.S. does not send a military force to remove the butchering Arab Muslims from Sudan is the Islamic world would wrongly perceive it as an attack on Islam. Western nations even with the potential of their combined power to remove the current Sudanese government fear the Islamic reaction (The West is dominated by Left Wing cowering dhimmis). The genocide against Black Muslims in Darfur and Black Christians in Southern Sudan is enough reason to take out the regime. It is a demonstration of dhimmification of the U.N. and the protection of Communist Chinese that such action is not even close to being a consideration.
As far as oil goes: duh!! Are you an American or a dimwitted American? Islamists (though a growing minority in the Middle East) run the perceptions of America. If Islamists control oil in Iraq as well as oil in Iran and the Saudi Monarchy is a sneeze away from joining the Shah of Iran's fate. How do you think the National Interests of America would be affected if Islamists controlled the life blood of the World's economy? Can you say convert or no oil? That would mess up the Dems utopian delusional vision on how we should respect what happens in another nation's internal affairs.
As for the Iraq and Vietnam comparisons, the only thing valid that you have asserted is the unpopularity (forged into the minds by a Leftist MSM ignoring other facts and the Dems exploiting the non-reported facts) of the Iraq War in America.
So in essence Moralnilhilist, you are full of manure. I leave it to you decide what kind.
Islamofascism and the inherent Theo-political cult of death known as Islam to adherents and as Mohammedanism to people like me that have disdain for a medieval threat of violence that terrifies those that love Liberty and Freedom has struck fear into LiveLeak.
LiveLeak was the video service I used to share the Movie Short Fitna to readers who wished to be educated about the true nature of Mohammedanism. That link now leads to a LiveLeak apology to its clientele because the fear of death threats to its staff constrained them to cave into Islamofascism to place security above the passion of Freedom.
Actually I cannot blame LiveLeak. With governments in the West promoting Appeasement to Mohammedans at the cost of Freedom and Liberty that has evolved in the world with the example of the American experiment after the Revolutionary War.
Western governments and the U.S. government have allowed litigation, the fear of Mohammedan rioting and the threat of Islamic terrorism killing citizens in the West in the name of Mohammed and Allah to Appease the protests of Mohammedans that value medieval Sharia Law above the modern concept of Freedom and Liberty.
Thanks to World Net Daily I have found a Part 1 and Part 2 division of the LiveLeak version on YouTube. My wonder is this: Will YouTube experience pressure to cave into Islamofascism and depreciate Freedom and Liberty as LiveLeak was forced to do?
It is time for the Governments of the West to put down their differences of Leftwing ideology and Rightwing ideology and confront the foreign cultural values of Theo-political Mohammedan ideology aggressively to protect not only our citizens but to defend the levels of Freedom and Liberty the West has attained.
If aggressively means deporting residential aliens and/or jailing naturalized citizens that support the death cult that expects acts of violence to rain down on people utilizing Freedom of Speech or Conscience, then so be it.
As an American, I for one have grown weary and impatient that Political Correctness terminates my Constitutional Rights of Freedom and Liberty deeming my criticism of Mohammedanism as “Hate Speech” when in fact my criticism of Mohammedanism is a defense of Freedom and Liberty. Frankly I do not care if Western Freedom and Liberty offends Mohammedanism. I am an American living in secular-political nation with a heritage of Christianity that has influenced right, wrong and principles of Justice.
Come on LEFT and RIGHT, we are not each other’s enemy common enemy to the way we live. That enemy is Mohammedanism as expressed by radical Islamism with greater and greater acceptance by Mohammedans in general. I am speaking to the LEFT and RIGHT: we disagree on the direction America should take, but we agree on using interpretations of Constitutional Law to find that direction. Mohammedanism seeks to eliminate the path of Freedom and Liberty embedded in the American mind of the LEFT and RIGHT.
Americans UNITE! Even more important: Western style nations UNITE! Let us confront Mohammedanism even as they accuse the West anyway. It is time for a 21st century Crusade.
Now I know Leftwing Academic historians have painted the ugly facts of the medieval Crusades. Those facts are accurately ugly. However the demon of Political Correctness fails to equally paint the ugly facts of Mohammedan military advancement and conquests that were equally if not heinously worse than the ugliness of the medieval Crusades.
The thing is the Mohammedan mindset of medieval ugliness is alive and well in the 21st century whereas it is the West that has such principles of the Geneva Conventions (even though many in the West have only partially practiced those Conventions or totally ignored them).
