Hamas Rules Out Fighting for Iran

STRATFOR  "However, Hamas publicly stating that it will not fight against Israel on behalf of Iran is extremely significant.
"First and most obviously, it means that Israel may not have to worry as much about attacks against its southern flank in the event that Israel takes military action against Iran. But even more significant, the statement underscores Hamas' efforts to join the mainstream of Sunni Arab politics in the wake of the Middle East unrest and the electoral gains of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and elsewhere."

But...when Muslims make statements, keep this in mind:   Tawriya: New Islamic Doctrine Permits 'Creative Lying'
"Of course, while all the sheikhs give examples that are innocuous and amount to "white" lies, tawriya can clearly be used to commit terrible, "black" lies, especially where the adversarial non-Muslim infidel is concerned. As Sheikh al-Munajid puts it: "Tawriya is permissible if it is necessary or serves a Sharia interest." Consider the countless "Sharia interests" that run directly counter to Western civilization and law, from empowering Islam to subjugating infidels. To realize these, Muslims, through tawriya, are given a blank check to lie—a check that surely comes in handy: not just in trivial occasions, like avoiding unwanted callers, but momentous ones, such as at high-level diplomatic meetings where major treaties are forged."

Detecting Terrorist Surveillance

STRATFOR  "Those planning terrorist attacks follow a discernable process referred to as the terrorist attack cycle. We also discussed last week how terrorism planners are vulnerable to detection at specific points during their attack cycle and how their poor surveillance tradecraft is one of these vulnerable junctures.
...."At its heart, surveillance is watching someone while attempting not to be caught doing so. As such, it is an unnatural activity, and a person doing it must deal with strong feelings of self-consciousness and of being out of place. People conducting surveillance frequently suffer from what is called "burn syndrome," the belief that the people they are watching have spotted them. Feeling "burned" will cause surveillants to do unnatural things, such as hiding their faces or suddenly ducking back into a doorway or turning around abruptly when they unexpectedly come face to face with the person they are watching."

Rich Terrell's thoughts on the Obamamobile

Want to understand why we are in this heap?

Neal Boortz  "Does the name Jionni LaValle ring a bell?  This is Snooki’s baby daddy.  He was the sixth most searched term on Google on Super Tuesday.  Rounding out the top five were Lenny Dykstra, Donald Payne, earthquake San Francisco, Patricia Heaton and Rush Limbaugh.  “Super Tuesday”?  That ranked #10.  None of the GOP candidates made the top 20 search terms.

 "This compounds the story I told you about earlier in the week … Lady GaGa has reached 20 million Twitter followers.  In fact, the top 5 Twitterers in terms of followers are all pop stars.

"Our celebrity worship culture – this is one of the things that is killing America.  There are so many Americans who really need to wake up and understand just how the country that they so love is under attack.  Remember, though, our government schools were designed to create just the type of citizens who are more worried about Snooki’s baby than they are about the future of their own.  Considering all of this, do you really need to wonder just how our body politic was invaded by a poison like Barack Obama?" 

The 10 Terrible Provisions of Obamacare You May Not Have Heard Of

Heritage  "Obamacare includes such a variety and volume of negative policies that it’s hard to keep track of them all. Here is a list of 10 terrible provisions that every American should be aware of:"

Item #2 on this list: " It adds a new tax to investment income. The increased payroll tax rate is also applied to high-earners’ investment income for the first time beginning in 2013. It will hit capital gains, dividends, rents, and royalties, discouraging investment and harming economic growth."

And here is item #5: It penalizes marriage. "Obamacare creates new taxpayer-funded subsidies for the low and middle classes to purchase health coverage, but the structure of the subsidies allows two individuals to claim more in subsidies alone than if married. This discriminates against married couples and discourages marriage at almost all age and income"
