Y’all don’t hold a candle to SJackson’s Posts per minute roundups. Whoa boy.
I wasn’t suggesting there was a conflict, I was giving you a link to a resource I didn’t think you knew about.
Thanks for your folksy partisan comment. Link to your Jackson source please.
Thanks. I spend an hour or two daily on FR but you were right to point me to Nachum. Better hear it twice than not at all. I knew about him but not sure about “combat-boots” outraged minute by minute Jackson link comment.
I notice recently that people on FR and other forum blogs where they can post are increasingly less and less civil even toward those on their own side. Leftwing or rightwing sites.
Stress in our own ranks, since we are not in a perfect world, seems to be manifesting itself more and more and this is a sad observation.
Attacking those on your own team if they are not in the exact team position you like to play seems to be self-defeating.
None of us always agree with everyone and every opinion on the site but except for the Trolls, we are (or should hopefully be) on the same team and if we need to flash our tempers, do it to those who are ideologically against us, not simply differing over a candidate or opinion. Or a thread.
And the Saudi Ambassador assassination is getting legs. While there is suspicion that it was a set up by the Mossad, to formulate an excuse to bomb Iran nukes, I am receiving a different slant on it from my sources and a scenario that would have evolved if the attack had taken place and had been successful.
Alan will write something up on this. It might well be six of one and half a dozen of the other dove-tailing with an urgent desire by Obama to divert attention from gun running and his sending troops into Africa.
Mossad? It makes far more sense that the announcement of the assassination was timed to distract the nation from the Gunwalker scandal.
Eh, no matter what happens, it is always too convenient to blame Israel and the Jews.
Thank you, FARS - very well said. I’ve noticed this stress level increasing as well. Shows what we’re each made of - when I see myself being too short, I try to take a break, or otherwise rein in any ill temper. Things are going to get much worse.
Thanks for the ping!
The vile Usurper and his minions have sown the wind; they will reap the whirlwind on ElectionDay 2012!
SJackson runs a high volume ping list here. It can be crushing to keep up with it.

I wasn’t intending to be partisan, by the way.
It is interesting how sjackson can get articles posted so closely to one another in re time, though. I haven’t figured out how to do that.
Different posters put forth alternatives, even on the same general subject, you know?
I see FARS’ ping as WOT and Iranian national security issues.
I see Nachum’s ping as US/0bama/Leftist historical records, highlighting news we may/may not get otherwise, and, as a reminder.
I see SJackson’s ping as pertinent to Israeli concerns.
Sometimes, these overlap.
I have no disagreement with the generalization or your categorizations of the four threads you brought up and even found it instructive as I had not done a comparison nor seen an analysis by others till combat-boots stepped in.(bad pun?)
I have been doing or trying to do what I do without noticing the others. (Except for reading and appreciating their posts). Luckily each one of us seem to have naturally found, chosen or gravitated to a niche, where we function at our best.
What may be the strangest is that none of us probably went out of our way to focus this way but our sources or backgrounds shaped us.
Luckily, none of us have any jealousy or quarrel with the others so it has evolved into a friendly , natural, useful separation of activity that does overlap in a complememntary broadening way for everyone’s benefit.
The other player is Alan who widens the scope of the scope and breadth of all this by posting it to his AntiMullah.com, which has more of an international list of visitors, so adds to FR’s reach in educating and informing the public.
In my opinion there appears no good reason to try to define/limit these threads more precisely rather than allowing them to dance freestyle together to the political or emotional tune of the moment.
What say you all?
As a lurker, I do enjoy the free-style approach. I always have the option to peruse other sites if I don’t find what I’m looking for here. Keep up the good work. Thanx
While this may tag me as a tin foil hat member, I am picking up the same sadness everywhere I was getting during President Clinton years but at that time could not figure it out.
Today we can see and feel the problems Obama is causing and the ensuing misery hitting the nation. At Clinton’s time it was a mystery. Everything was apparently flowing well but wave after wave of sadness would hit me. Almost sending me to see a physician as I could not find any logical reason.
Eventually I came to the conclusion that it was the vibes of death from starvation emanating from the hundreds of thousands of Sudanese and I believe Ethiopians that was a pollutant.
If you remember those days, strong irritation was floating around everywhere the USA both in top government, State and Counties and with the man and woman in the streets. It was undefined but almost palpable.
That has comed back! We are being bathed in misery and fear and anxiety for our future. Obama is covering up and denying reasons for much of this which his mismanagement (to be polite) he has and is creating. And making worse by the minute.
At the risk of the tinfoil hat label, if you meet someone who is sad or hurting you can see it in that person but additionally also sense it in the vibes he or she sends out, without meaning to.
One step removed, if your neighbor is having problems you can often “feel” it without knowing the details. If like me you taught martial arts, you fine tuned such ability. With an opponent’s blow as fast as one sixteenth of a second, you had to “sense” it coming to be able to block, avoid or respond.
Unfortunately this also opens you up to picking the “static” going on around you even from long distances.
We all have this ability, while some tune in and others tune out or filter it out to retain our comfort. Or seek help through prayer.
The video in the Contrast articlelink below is beautiful and soothing.

Here is a historical look at Iran and Al Qaeda that points out Iran’s part in the 9/11 attack. Good informational read.

BTW did you watch Huckabee and see the thuggishness and abuse of the “Eminent Domain” statutes the government uses to shut down and rob a family welding industry location from where they have operated for some 60-years.
They offered about 17% of JUST the relocation cost and nothing for re-establishing or the value of the business itself.
Loved the flowers!
Tin cap firmly in place here too.
If we think we know where this is all leading and we just read and learn to support our belief.
I’d like to be wrong...
Strong is the Force in this one...
