Savage explains why Obama really hates Putin [gay rights]
WND ^ | 8/8/2014 | KATHY SHAIDLE

Posted on 11/24/2015 8:51:36 PM PST by WilliamIII

Michael Savage rarely welcomes guests on his show, but this week, he brought on respected expert on Russia to try to explain Obama’s motivations for provoking Vladimir Putin.

Dr. Stephen Cohen is a columnist for the liberal magazine The Nation. He told Savage that even though he voted for Obama twice, he is now deeply concerned about the president’s increasingly bellicose attitude towards Russia.

“What began as the Ukrainian civil war became a proxy war,” said Cohen. “Now that proxy war could become an actual war between the United States and Russia” (Free audio).

Dr. Savage believes he knows the true source of Obama’s contempt for Vladimir Putin, reminding listeners that progressives like the president prioritize “gay rights” above almost every other issue.

“Putin has cracked down on gays and gay rights,” Savage said. “Because of this, Putin is hated by the leadership of the gay community in the West.”

Some will deny it but I think it is at least part of it. Obama, who campaigned supporting marriage as between a man and woman only, has come out of the closet as obsessively all things LGBTQABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP.....Z.

I think of him as the type of person who satan could fly up to the mountain top and offer him the power of the world and he would accept the invitation.

Astoundingly man-child flippiant statement highlighting ignorant disregard of the murderous Russian-USSR communist machine 20+ Million body count, and provocations that caused thousands of US servicemen and intelligence agents their lives fighting the “Cold war” up until the final collapse of the Soviet Union in 1992.

Some here may erroneously take temporary comfort in Putin’s role as defender of the west, doing so ONLY to protect Russia from Obola’s Muslim misadventures.
However, we will rue the day Putin takes command of the middle east in a pan-global coalition with Iran and China.
Putin will gradually reconstitute the USSR that he and Russians so miss.
Russia plays chess, while America plays checkers.
You’ll see.

RE: “Yeah, we also have 1960 leftovers here that hate Russia even though Russia is working on eliminating islamo trash.”

The gender theory is ALL pure Marxist irrational cr*p to destroy Logic and Reason in children-—and to destroy normal sexual identity formation which will make the Christian worldview unattainable.

It is only the Christian worldview which has to be killed (God is Dead crew from Germany in the 1800s.) The back door to Mind Control (destroy Free Will/Reason) is to teach children Fichte’s idea-—that snow is black, up is down and men are women. All the gender bending is basically to make people unable to be Rational and emasculated males——unable to to relate to women and understand Natural Law Theory (basis of US Constitution/Individualitiy/Free Will/family unit-—the only rational religion which created unity and great free civilizations.

Without moral masculine males (straight), the culture becomes like the homosexual Samurai——brutal and sexist-—exactly like the homosexual Afghanis-—and they all use the pretty boys. Pederasty is the mainstay of all homosexual cultures. Women are breeders only.

Collectives can’t have Christians (basis of Individual Natural Rights from God) in their NWO of mass slavery/socialism/collectivism. This culture war which started with homosexuals and Marx in 1800s Germany-—the ones who formed the German boy scout groups to have boy orgies in the woods, are the ones who led to Harry Hay in America-—the Communist homosexual (Man/Boy “Love” is great!!! guy). He was raped as a boy and “loved” it. Anyhow, these evil, pathetic abused men want to normalize their vice—.like in Sodom and Gomorrah—and like at the fall of Rome.

Paglia, the lesbian, stated that preceding all collapses of civilizations, males become narcissists (homosexuals) and do not care and protect women and children-—it is like the Nazi SA -—Brownshirts, who were all homosexuals and were capable of total brutality to even little children and women—unlike true Christian armies.

Machiavelli stated that virtue is essential for a Free Republic and promoting virtue in the military of the Republic was essential. The first thing the sodomite in the White House did was make vice normal in the military and take down anyone who had a Christian heart/worldview-—to replace them with Nazi-like Lesbian “generals”——viscious evil people capable of killing babies and putting people into Fema (gulag) camps.

Obama and Putin were walking around out in the country enjoying the scenery and mild fall weather. On the trail they came across a sheep.

The sheep tried to get away but it had gotten its head caught in the fence next to the trail and was stuck.

Putin smiled, walked behind the sheep and dropped his drawers and had his way with it. When Putin was done he turned to Obama and said “go ahead, it’s your turn!”

Obama eagerly walked over and stuck his head in the fence.

"Savage explains why Obama really hates Putin" Obama has done just about everything he could to see to it that reemerging Russia returns as a major superpower, while substantially weakening our own military. The saboteur-in-chief has handed the KGB/FSB agent missile defense and nukes on a silver platter, just as the SOB had promised even before he got elected by the idiot masses the first time around in '08.

Obama Pledges Cuts in Missile Defense, Space, and Nuclear Weapons Programs

February 29, 2008 :: News
MissileThreat.com

A video has surfaced of Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama talking on his plans for strategic issues such as nuclear weapons and missile defense.

The full text from the video, as released, reads as follows:

Thanks so much for the Caucus4Priorities, for the great work you've been doing. As president, I will end misguided defense policies and stand with Caucus4Priorities in fighting special interests in Washington.

First, I'll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq. I'm the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president I will end it.[i.e. not win it]

Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.

I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.

I will not weaponize space.

I will slow our development of future combat systems.

And I will institute an independent "Defense Priorities Board" to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.

Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert, and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.

You know where I stand. I've fought for open, ethical and accountable government my entire public life. I don't switch positions or make promises that can't be kept. I don't posture on defense policy and I don't take money from federal lobbyists for powerful defense contractors. As president, my sole priority for defense spending will be protecting the American people. Thanks so much.

2008 Pentagon Report (March 2008):
China's Growing Military Space Power

By Leonard David
Special Correspondent, SPACE.com
March 6, 2008

GOLDEN, Colorado - A just-released Pentagon report spotlights a growing U.S. military concern that China is developing a multi- dimensional program to limit or prevent the use of space-based assets by its potential adversaries during times of crisis or conflict.

Furthermore, last year's successful test by China of a direct-ascent, anti-satellite (ASAT) weapon to destroy its own defunct weather satellite, the report adds, underscores that country's expansion from the land, air, and sea dimensions of the traditional battlefield into the space and cyber-space domains.

Although China's commercial space program has utility for non- military research, that capability demonstrates space launch and control know-how that have direct military application. Even the Chang'e 1 - the Chinese lunar probe now circling the Moon - is flagged in the report as showcasing China's ability "to conduct complicated space maneuvers - a capability which has broad implications for military counterspace operations."

From Investor's Business Daily, Jan 2012:

Obama To Betray Missile Defense Secrets To Moscow
Investor's Business Daily ^ | January 9, 2012 | IBD staff

Appeasement: From ObamaCare to recess appointments, honoring the Constitution has not been an administration hallmark. But when it comes to betraying secrets to mollify the Russians, it becomes a document the president hides behind.

It was bad enough that the 2012 defense authorization bill signed by President Obama set America on a downward spiral of military mediocrity.

He also issued a signing statement, something he once opposed, saying that language in the bill aimed at protecting top-secret technical data on the U.S. Standard Missile-3 - linchpin of our missile defense - might impinge on his constitutional foreign-policy authority.

Section 1227 of the defense law prohibits spending any funds that would be used to give Russian officials access to sensitive missile-defense technology as part of a cooperation agreement without first sending Congress a report identifying the specific secrets, how they'd be used and steps to protect the data from compromise.

The president is required to certify that any technology shared will not be passed on to third parties such as China, North Korea or Iran, that the Russians will not use transferred secrets to develop countermeasures and that the Russians are reciprocating in sharing missile-defense technology. ..."

"In his signing statement, Obama said he would treat these legal restrictions as 'non-binding' and that 'my administration will also interpret and implement section 1244 (sic) in a manner that does not interfere with the president's constitutional authority to conduct foreign affairs and avoids the undue disclosure of sensitive diplomatic communications.'

Betraying our secrets is easy for a president who betrayed allies Poland and the Czech Republic to placate Moscow.

Poland was to host ground-based interceptors such as those we've deployed in California and Alaska, with missile-tracking radar deployed in the Czech Republic.

Obama pulled the plug when Moscow objected. Never mind, he said, we have a better approach: a four-phase plan that calls for using three versions of the Navy's Standard SM-3 interceptor missile that forms the backbone of its Aegis missile-defense system.

The fourth phase consists of a missile still on the drawing board scheduled for deployment by 2020, a version of the SM-3 called the Block IIB. It would intercept hostile missiles in the "early intercept" phase before an enemy missile could release its warheads and decoys. The Russians want the SM-3's secrets, and Obama appears to be willing to turn them over.

The president wants to save the New Start Treaty, which the Russians have threatened to abandon if we try to fully implement President Reagan's dream of defeating a nuclear missile attack.

Russia has unilaterally asserted that any qualitative or quantitative improvement in U.S. missile defenses would be grounds for withdrawal from the treaty.

March 2012...

"Obama was talking with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev when neither of them realized that their conversation was being picked up by microphones. Here is what they said:

Obama: "On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it's important for him to give me space."

Medvedev: "Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you ..."

Obama: "This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility."

Medvedev: "I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir."

"This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility." That statement tells us much about the president's mindset.

The specific mention of missile defense is worrisome enough. Mr. Obama has retreated from the missile defense plan that was negotiated with European allies during the George W. Bush administration. Apparently, he is signaling Moscow that he intends to retreat further. The clear implication from the president's comments is that he cannot tell the American people before the election what he plans to do after the election.

In addition, there is the phrase "on all these issues," implying more is at stake than just missile defense."

What Obama hates is the US. Because he's bent over backwards to appease your hero KGB/FSB Putin on many critically important defense issues, such as missile defense and nukes (NewSTART Treaty and the horrible Iran deal).

Trump: Iran Deal Requires U.S. Protecting Iran in Event of Israeli Strike

by Jacob Kornbluh
Sept 2, 2015

In a phone interview with CNN Tuesday evening, Trump claimed that there's "something in the Iran deal" that "people don't understand" saying if someone attacks Iran, "we have to come to their defense."

"Does that include Israel?" Trump asked. "And most people say yes, they don't have an exclusion for Israel. So if Israel attacks Iran, according to that deal, I believe, the way it reads, unless they have a codicil or they have something to it, that we have to fight with Iran against Israel." ..."

Trump was most probably referring to language highlighted by the opponents of the deal. On page 142, the deal includes a clause that states, "Co-operation through training and workshops to strengthen Iran's ability to protect against, and respond to nuclear security threats, including sabotage, as well as to enable effective and sustainable nuclear security and physical protection systems."

Washington-based Center for Security Policy asserted that Annex III appears "to commit the United States and other world powers to the defense of Iran's nuclear program."

Russian build-up in Syria part of secret deal with Iran's Quds Force leader

September 11, 2015
Jennifer Griffin, Lucas Tomlinson
FoxNews.com

As the Pentagon warily eyes a Russian military build-up in Syria, Western intelligence sources tell Fox News that the escalated Russian presence began just days after a secret Moscow meeting in late July between Iran's Quds Force commander - their chief exporter of terror - and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Fox News has learned Quds head Qassem Soleimani and Putin discussed such a joint military plan for Syria at that meeting, an encounter first reported by Fox News in early August. ..."

The Quds Force is the international arm of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, involved in exporting terrorism to Iran's proxies throughout the Middle East including Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen. ..."

Officials who have monitored the build-up say they've seen more than 1,000 Russian combatants - some of them from the same plainclothes Special Forces units who were sent to Crimea and Ukraine. Some of these Russian troops are logistical specialists and needed for security at the expanding Russian bases.

Pro-Hezbollah Paper: Russia, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah Form Alliance

Sept 23, 2015

A prominent pro-Hezbollah newspaper in Lebanon reported Tuesday that Russia and the terrorist organization have formed an alliance and will fight together in Syria. "The parties to the alliance are the states of Russia, Iran, Syria, and Iraq, with Lebanon's Hezbollah as the fifth party,"

Al-Akhbar Editor in Chief Ibrahim al-Amin wrote. The pact would be called the "4+1 alliance", a pun based on the P5+1 that negotiated the nuclear deal with Iran. Hezbollah is a proxy of Iran based in Lebanon and Moscow has been working with Tehran to save Bashar al-Assad's regime, even sending men and weapons to Syria.

From Real Clear Politics, Sept 10, 2015...

"In a 2014 New Yorker interview, Obama said his goal was to create a 'new equilibrium' in the Middle East.

In the short run, at least, his signature diplomatic undertaking can be counted on to bring more violence to this volatile region.

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, as the [Obama-Putin Iran deal] agreement is formally known, provides the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism an infusion of somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 billion of unfrozen assets and a great deal more of continuing revenues as businesses and governments around the world rush to profit from oil-and-gas-rich Iran's reintegration into the world economy.

The agreement relaxes the international isolation of the Islamic Republic and ratifies Tehran's status as a nuclear threshold state. And it relieves restrictions on Iran's acquisition of weapons, including ballistic missiles. ..."
