AUDIO: NEW BLACK PANTHER LEADER DISCUSSES HIS MEETING WITH AHMADINEJAD

Not sure of the date posted at the front of this Audio clip but the New York Post wrote about the meeting between Ahmadinejad, Louis Farrakhan, and Malik Zulu Shabazz back in September when the Iranian dictator was in New York. This audio, recorded in December is an account given by Shabazz about the discussions that took place in that meeting, which included overthrowing the United States government. Isn't it reassuring to know that Shabazz was one of the ones let off the hook in the voting rights lawsuit out of Philadelphia and that he was actually plotting America's demise with the 'A man from Iran' just this month?

IS TURKEY ALIGNING WITH IRAN?

On March 4th, the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs voted 23-22 on a resolution that would declare what the Ottoman Turks perpetrated against the Armenians as "genocide" in 1915. Despite the very close vote, as well as it being extremely unlikely the resolution will make it to the Floor for an actual House vote, Turkey's ambassador to the United States was recalled back to his country in a statement of anger.

Now CNS News is reporting that as Turkey withdraws diplomatically from the United States, it seems to be gravitating toward Iran.

As the Obama administration scrambles to contain the diplomatic fallout with Turkey over the “Armenian genocide” resolution in the U.S. Congress, Turkey’s tilt towards Iran continues largely unnoticed.

Turkey’s “formerly Islamist” president, Abdullah Gul, in a weekend telephone conversation with his Iranian counterpart called for a deepening of bilateral relations and voiced support for Iran in international forums. Turkey is non-permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, the most important international body to have Iran on its current agenda.

As CNS News points out with quotation marks, the term "former Islamist" is a bit enigmatic. It should be fairly obvious that the word "former" is being used deceptively by Gul. Aside from its military - which is already having severe pressure applied to it in the form of the recent arrests of many of its leaders - Turkey's government is Islamist already. If the military falls under the command of Islamist forces, Turkey is likely lost entirely to Islamic political leadership and will cease being an ally of the west altogether. Yes, the implication is huge but the reality must be faced sooner rather than later.

More from CNS:

Iran’s Fars news agency said Gul told President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad “that the two countries would defend each other’s positions at international forums, and emphasized the importance of tightening the relations between them and of consulting on regional and security matters.”

So we're to believe that Turkey had no pre-disposition to align with Iran before a House committee vote that was as narrow as it could possibly be? This indignation is manufactured, in my view. It is either an excuse to more overtly align with Iran or they are calling the bluff of the United States. Recent indicators are that it may be a little of both:

....under Erdogan and his Justice and Development Party (AKP) ally, Gul, Turkey’s policies regarding Iran are increasingly at odds with those of Washington. Turkish and Iranian leaders have paid reciprocal visits and Erdogan has referred to Ahmadinejad as his “friend.”

Another Islamist leader in Turkey is its Prime Minister, Tayyip Erdogan. He, like President Gul, have strong Islamist pasts and should not be trusted by the west. Calling Ahmadinejad a "friend" should actually be one's first clue.

Here is the entire CNS story.

VIDEO: HILLARY IMPLIES OBAMA IRAN POLICY A FAILURE

Many interesting dimensions to this one. First, Hillary says that after eleven months, Iran has failed to unclench its fist despite America's multiple extended hands (paraphrase). Whether she admits it or not, this is a direct reflection on the failure of Obama's policy, premise, and promise on the campaign trail.

Secondly, as Iran continues to arm itself with nukes, becoming a daily threat to the United States, Obama continues to demonize conservatives within his own country. Who exactly is enemy #1 for Obama? If it's American citizens who disagree with his agenda and ideology, what does that say about him?

Thirdly, at the end of the Hillary portion of this clip, John Bolton chimes in. Yes, he agrees with Hillary but he also tacks on an "I told you so" by saying that everything she said was "predictable".



Fourthly, I think this video provides a nice little microcosm of a much bigger picture. A flashback to 2005 when Republican Senator George Voinovich cried out of fear at the prospect of John Bolton being named United States ambassador to the U.N. Four years later and it would appear Bolton was unequivocally the wrong source of Voinovich's fear. The comparison here is that Bolton represents those who Obama is demonizing domestically and Voinovich represents appeasers who are all too willing to demonize anyone willing to point out very scary truths and realities.

VIDEO: HUGO CHAVEZ CALLS FOX STUPID

Remember, not only is this guy a tinpot dictator and supporter of ousted tinHAT dictator from Honduras, Manuel Zelaya (as is Obama) but he also seems to be aligned with Obama when it comes to Fox News.

The perfect 2 minute microcosm of a leftwing mind. I had no idea that Chavez was so well versed on Saul Alinsky.

Note the stages that take place in this interview.

STAGE 1: Chavez is interested in giving a television reporter an interview while attempting to portray professionalism and graciousness.

STAGE 2: After not liking the question posed by the reporter, which had to do with why Chavez viewed a Holocaust denier like Ahmadinejad as a friend, Chavez aks the reporter where he's from. After hearing, "Fox News", Chavez launches into insult mode and actually quotes Sean Penn, calling people who work for fox, "El stupido".

STAGE 3: When the insults don't intimidate the reporter, who lets said insults fly by, the reporter follows-up with another similar question about Ahmadinejad. Chavez responds by changing the subject and elevating his tone.

STAGE 4: Chavez comes unhinged while getting self-righteous about a subject that had nothing to do with anything the reporter asked.

VIDEO: FCC DIVERSITY CZAR AND HUGO CHAVEZ

By now, many of us are familiar with the 2008 video of current FCC "Diversity Czar" Mark Lloyd saying some very flattering things about Hugo Chavez (video below) defeating opposition by shutting down media outlets that provided it. Now we have Reuters reporting that Chavez continues to shut down radio stations that are not in lock step with his agenda:

Venezuela will pull the plug on 29 more radio stations, a top official in President Hugo Chavez's government said on Saturday, just weeks after dozens of other outlets were closed in a media clampdown.

Infrastructure Minister Diosdado Cabello closed 34 radio stations in July, saying the government was "democratizing" media ownership. Critics say the move limits freedom of expression and has taken critical voices off the airwaves.

The powerful Chavez ally has threatened to close over 100 stations in total, part of a long-term campaign against private media that the government says are biased against Chavez's government.

"Democratizing" media ownership by silencing adversarial voices? It's easy to see that Lloyd shares very similar views of private broadcasters in America after watching him speak and reading what he's written. That makes him a walking contradiction in addition to being an ALINSKY DICIPLE.

Don't you know that Lloyd is envious of what's going on in Venezuela right now? Make no mistake. If Lloyd had his way, he would flip a switch and shut down all radio stations that carry views in opposition to Obama. Former Green Jobs Czar Van Jones would call this a "MAXIMUM GOAL". As an aside, Jones, with coaching, understood he had to push "Minimum Goals" that contained very "radical kernel(s)" but he ultimately couldn't walk the walk because his maximum goals were revealed in a slew of shocking revelations last week.

Lloyd has gone public with his intentions. While his goals run parallel to those of Chavez, his means are more covert. CNS NEWS reported on Lloyd's plans to have private broadcasters pay double their current operating costs in the form of licensing fees. These fees would then fund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).

CHAVEZ AND AHMADINEJAD

There are additional reasons for Americans to be disturbed by Lloyd's reverence for Hugo Chavez today. An AP REPORT shows that Venezuela is exporting gasoline to Iran.

The two countries signed the agreement late Sunday during a visit by Chavez, who pledged to deepen ties with Iran and stand together against what he called the imperialist powers of the world.

The radio stations in Venezuela who would carry voices that oppose such agreements are being targeted for closing by Chavez. What does this say about Lloyd and, by extension, Obama himself, who has already aligned with Chavez in the Honduran crisis? By championing the efforts of Chavez, isn't Lloyd advocating government action that leads to agreements between Ahmadinejad and Chavez increasing in boldness and frequency while becoming increasingly unchallenged?

Lloyd's writings carry an air of backward thinking and contradictions. In fact, he reminds me of a character from a Gilligan's Island episode - Wrong Way Feldman. Quoting from the AP report, here is an example of how Lloyd's proposed policies would actually serve to help Iran:

Western leaders have threatened to impose further sanctions against it should Iran refuse to bend to deadlines for talks aimed at curbing Tehran's nuclear activities. One idea that has been touted, though not yet formally proposed, is to cut off exports of gas station-ready fuel to Iran.

By showing admiration for Chavez and his aggressive policy of shutting down opposing voices, Lloyd is espousing a weaker stick when it comes to imposing further sanctions on Iran since Chavez is thumbing his nose at the notion and wants to make it even easier by silencing any remaining vestige of an adversarial press.

OLIVER AND HUGO

Isn't this special? Oliver Stone's favorable documentary of Chavez is being screened in Venice as the deal between Hugo and Mahmoud is revealed, a deal that helps to alleviate a huge bottleneck for the Iranian leader - refinery capabilities amid a sea of oil.

DRUDGE has links to stories about the Stone documentary. If there is good news in these very troubling times, it may just be that a substantial number of far leftwingers who like to portray themselves as either apolitical or objective fence-sitters are unmasking themselves. Oliver Stone appears to be overtly choosing sides in the left/right debate these days as REUTERS is reporting that Stone views Chavez as a victim.

Stone no doubt thinks he's doing important and daring work. The irony is that he seems to be suffering from the same delusion that afflicted the likes of Cindy Sheehan, who also embraced Chavez. When you're sympathetic to dictators, you're in no real danger as long as you are useful. Jane Fonda certainly comes to mind.

Director Oliver Stone says the U.S. media and government have demonised Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and other leftist South American leaders, and argues in a new film that they were right to stand up to Washington.

Here's where Stone confounds in a way similar to Lloyd when one takes a look at another film Stone is responsible for - JFK (the left's hero). If memory serves, that film outed communists and implicated Castro's Cuba. Aren't the Castros and Hugo close allies? It should be no surprise why those on the left seem to share a trait of rampant confusion.

Before reading these quotes from Stone, take another look at the one of countless photos above showing Chavez and Ahmadinejad embracing.

"I think the movie, if you've seen it, shows very clearly the level of stupidity in the kind of broad statements that are made about Mr. Chavez," Stone told reporters in Venice, where South of the Border has its world premiere on Monday.

"But I didn't want to make a movie only about the American media's attacks. I felt that that was too small for what this man is about. This man is a big phenomenon.

"So we travelled in a road trip kind of movie to visit these other presidents and we saw the positive side of what is going on, the sweeping change in this region. It's a very important historical phenomenon that is ... ignored in America."

Just curious but how soon will it be before Stone does a glowing documentary on the leader of Iran? As he and Chavez yuk it up in Venice, what's the possibility Chavez drops the idea in Stone's lap in much the same way he handed a book to Obama in front of the cameras?

In summary, as Chavez wheels and deals with Ahmadinejad, he's closing down radio stations that might have opposing voices to that kind of thing. FCC Diversity Czar Lloyd is on video extoling the virtue and courage of Chavez while filmmaker Oliver Stone is screening a glowing documentary of the communist dictator that identifies him as a victim.

Is Stone's film the kind of thing Lloyd would find acceptable for airing on the public airwaves he wants to control one day?

Here is Lloyd in 2008. Judge for yourself.

VIDEO: Hard Core! Obama = Ahmadinejad

Ouch! If you thought liberals couldn't find their logic bone before, wait until they watch this. In fact, I would love to be stationed behind some one-way glass while watching a few moonbats view this video just so I could see their reaction.

Priceless....
