Oh yeah, no doubt.
They weren’t gonna tap Iraq’s Oil unless they absolutely had to. It was important to establish a place to be over in the ME and Iraq was used as the excuse.
They didn’t expect Iraq to become increasingly good friends with Iran - that one back-fired on them.
Iran poses a problem for these “global government” architects, as does Russia and China.
They wanted to “buffer” Russia in by converting all of Russia’s previous republics into Western-friendly NATO nations. Russia eventually took action and went into Georgia to send them a message.
China is starting to setup shop in various locations in Africa. They’re even making some of the Africans work like dogs for food in digging mines for minerals etc.
These global government architects didn’t expect that either. China is winning the African Pawn in this global chess game.
It will eventually lead to some serious conventional war between the far West and the far East over the ME and Africa.
China is surely more aggressive than the USA.....and some of that is self-inflicted.
Throw that Mepps old stuff.....
Yes, indeed.
As China will tell you, China has to be aggressive to avoid what they refer to as “US Imperialism”.
Our officials call it a “Global Society” and the rest of us labeled as “conspiracy nuts” call it New World Order.
I’m sure China is glad they implemented their “Strategic Moderization Objective” to offset Western ambitions.
China be there, among other places.................
Exactly, it’s because China has their own version of world hemogany governed by the motherland.
Welcome to the age of globalism and the quest by super-powers to dominate it, thus hedging against each other until they can no longer do so.
We are living in dangerous times my friend.
Here's what it says on the site linked at the top of this thread:
On December 24, 1952, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (the "1952 Statute") became effective....In the case of a child born to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent, the U.S. citizen parent now had only to be physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions prior to the child's birth for 10 years, at least 5 of which were after the age of 14.
Obviously that five years after age 14 is important here, since it would exclude Obama's 18 year old mother. So I tried to find that language in the text of the original Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (also called the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952).
It is not particularly easy to find that document online. Part of the Act is shown on this Czech site:
http://tucnak.fsv.cuni.cz/~calda/Documents/1950s/McCarran_52.html but it is missing the Title III section on Nationality and Nationalization.
Using text in that I managed to find this doc file that contains part or all of the Act. It seems to say nothing about "five years after age 14." The closest it comes is this:
Sec. 316. (a) No person, except as otherwise provided for in this title, shall be naturalized unless such petitioner, (1) immediately preceding the date of filing his petition for naturalization has resided continuously, after being lawfully admitted for permanent residence, within the United States for at least five years and during the five years… has been physically present therein for periods totaling at least half of that time, and who has resided within the state in which petition is filed for at least sic months...
That does not apply to a child of an American citizen, it applies to an immigrant. Obama's mother was not an immigrant. The bill says nothing about "age 14."
Maybe the language is in there and I missed it, maybe the document is inaccurate or incomplete, maybe the Act was amended after between 1952 and 1961 and the language is in an amended version. But so far I cannot confirm the "five years after age 14" requirement that is so dear to the hearts of us troofers.
Good point ..
Dunham was three months shy of her 19th birthday when Obama was born. But subsequent acts of Congress relaxed the requirement to five years in the U.S., including just two years after the age of 14.
The amended requirements would only apply after the date they were instantiated, and as such, Obama would have not qualified under the previous requirements in effect at the time of his birth and several years prior.
