Iran Threatens Israel with Retaliation

Yep, he's at it again. President "Kill all Jews" What's-His-Name of Iran is threatening Israel with retaliation if the Israelis go in and attack suspected nuclear sites in Iran. No surprise here. He's been threatening to wipe out Israel for quite some time already, and what better way to do it than to develop nuclear weapons. So let's all put this in perspective. The U.N. has about an 80% chance of failure in terms of stopping Iran's nuclear program. Too many gutless pansies and suspect allies on the board. And now that the Democrats have taken over Congress, U.S. foreign policy will be emasculated and become isolationist again so there's a 90% chance we won't go after Iran on our own either. That leaves Israel with a 95 % chance of taking out the Iranian nukes like they did with the Iraqi nuclear site and leaves Iran with a 100% chance of retaliation. Any way you see it, the forecast for peace in the Mideast does not look good.

Castro's Death Bed?

According to this AP story, U.S. officials don't believe Cuba's Fidel Castro will last through the end of next year. Now if that's based on credible intelligence rather than political wishful thinking, then perhaps the Cuban people will finally begin to wake up from the nightmare of dictatorship and start to realize the dream of freedom and prosperity that they deserve. That will also mean that Venezuela's Hugo "I wanna be Fidel" Chavez will have one less sandbox buddy to play with. Of course, that still leaves us with North Korea's Kim "I wanna have a nuclear phallus" Jong-il and good ol' "I wanna be Hitler" What's-His-Name in Iran as the remaining Three Jackasses of the Apocalypse.

Reality Check 101

"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes."
- Morpheus, The Matrix.

If reality bites, then Ultimate Reality tears you apart, and the Ultimate Reality is that this world is a dangerous place and is getting more so. The way I see it, we have two choices. We can either stick our head in the sand and pretend everything is fine or we can face the Truth head on. So just what will it take for you to take the red pill? Since you're here, you've already taken the first step. But this site isn't designed to scare you sh*tless into paralysis and inaction. It's designed to keep you informed, to provide you with situational awareness and the tools you'll need so that you will begin to take action.

"I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid... you're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin."
