Deadly Night in Mumbai; A Survivor's Account

mignon@thenationalintelligence.com — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 14:37:14 +0100

The following is a gripping, first-person account from a Canadian who was staying at the Trident Hotel in Mumbai when the terrorists hit. He relates step-by-step the horrific events of that night and the hours that followed and praises the Indian public for their courage and humanity in helping him and others escape. His report has not been edited except for removing information that would identify him personally. He probably would not mind, but this very personal account was obviously written f [...]

Mumbai and Osama: Changing the World Order

mignon@thenationalintelligence.com — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 12:04:27 +0100

Was the murder and mayhem in Mumbai the next surge for al-Qaida operations as announced by one of their Yemeni spokesmen just three weeks ago?

Or is it just the precursor of much greater, more violent, more “spectacular” events to come?

We don’t know, of course, just who the Deccan Mujahadeen (which claimed responsibility for the Mumbai attacks) is. Or what it represents. Or what connection, if any, [...]

Detroit Bailout, A Catastrophe in the Making for Automakers

mignon@thenationalintelligence.com — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 09:47:31 +0100

Many of us were shocked when all three CEOs of the Detroit automakers flew to Washington in his own Lear jet (at a cost of about $20,000 each) to explain why they needed 25 billion taxpayer dollars to keep their companies from crashing and burning.

This blunder serves as an apt metaphor for the incredible mismanagement of the US auto industry for the past two or three decades. Since 1998 they have been losing . . . .

Just Say "NO" to Detroit Bailout/ Political Payoff

mignon@thenationalintelligence.com — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 17:42:28 +0100

An Economics Professor Advises the Federal Government Not to Throw Good Money After Bad to Bail out the automakers in Detroit.. The problems are just too deep, he says. They have other options which they should choose. Left alone (without federal welfare, not all three of them would fail and the consequences, e.g. loss of jobs, have been greatly exaggerated.

Pirates ( al-Qaida?) Hijack Supertanker: New Wave of Attacks Coming?

mignon@thenationalintelligence.com — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 08:39:33 +0100

It was only a week ago that an Arabic newpaper based in London reported from highly placed al-Qaida sources that Osama bin-Laden and his terrorist thugs expected to carry out a new attack on the West in the near future, an attack that would "outdo by far" the attacks of 9/11. The Yemeni al-Qaida official quoted in the story expected the attacks would be "in the next few days"

The newspaper, Al-Quds Al-Arabi, quoted the Yemeni official, as saying that Osama expected [...]

A Partial Answer to Our Energy Crisis: Wind

mignon@thenationalintelligence.com — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 08:40:32 +0100

(The following, posted from MarketWatch, provides valuable insight into an exciting new partial solution to our national crisis of dependence on foreign oil. This blog considers that achieving energy independence is a matter of critical national security and urges that we, as a nation, explore and develop both multiple alternative energy sources and additional sources of petroleum, gas, and coal. This story is posted to explain one of those alternative sources. It is NOT intended a [...]

By CHRIS SMITH

When the phone rang days ago at Melinda Merman and Frank Walburg's home in Santa Rosa, they'd gone more than 13 years without George.

It was June of 1995 when the sturdy, gray, yellow-eyed, personable young cat went missing. To say Melinda and Frank did everything possible to find him doesn't scratch the surface of their efforts.

ANOTHER Radical;This One Official Fundraiser for Obama

mignon@thenationalintelligence.com — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 07:26:00 +0100

. Obama Has Links to ANOTHER '60s Radical

Barack Obama has consistently sought to distance himself from former domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. But it’s a different story with another student radical from the 1960s — Marilyn Katz — who is actually on Obama’s fundraising team.

Katz, a public relations executive in Chicago, serves on Obama’s national finance committee. She is listed as a fundraising “bundler” on his Web site, has hosted fu [...]

Obama: True or False? A MUST READ!

mignon@thenationalintelligence.com — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 12:15:58 +0100

I forward this email from Mike Masters. He has obviously done a lot of research and encapsulated a HUGE amount of information about the candidate who is "expected" to be the next president of the United States. Most of us agree that the future of our country - - -and probably of the world- - -depends on this election. Is that worth 8-12 minutes of your time to read this?

To Barack Hussein Obama,

The New York Times carried a story on Saturday, October [...]

Just In! Obama Intends To Bankrupt Coal Industry HEAR Him Yourself

mignon@thenationalintelligence.com — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 07:40:24 +0100

Obama has a talent for speaking ideas in San Francisco that he wouldn't want voters in Pennsylvania to hear.

Or Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, West Virginia, or Kentucky either, for that matter. Remember his comment about "clinging to their guns and religion? And wasn't that, according to him, because of their job losses and economic anxiety?

Well, we have to wonder how many jobs will be lost if the coal industry is shut down. THat is what Obama intends to do. N [...]

Remember Obama's Original Political Base ?

Although videos like this ran repeatedly on Fox News last spring, the elite media offered much less frequent coverage and, more importantly, failed or refused to air the more vitriolic "sermons" of Jeremiah Wright. AND it's been some some seven months since we heard Rev. Wright in person damn America and tell us about America's chickens. So, here is a brief clip of his highlights: click here.

How Do Tax Plans (Obama and McCain) Compare?

mignon@thenationalintelligence.com — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 07:24:18 +0100

An Economics Researcher, J.D. Foster, Ph.D., Senior Fellow in Economics of Fiscal Policy at the Heritage Foundation, offers a fair, non-partisan and erudite analysis / evaluation of the economic plans offered by John McCain and Barack Obama:

Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Barack Obama (D-IL) have released tax plans indicating their priorities when one of them becomes President of the United States. These plans involve significant changes to the federal tax system. While numero [...]

Obama Aunt Living in Boston Illegally, on Public Assistance for 4 Years

mignon@thenationalintelligence.com — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 11:36:15 +0100

The AP story speaks for itself. Not only was she here illegally, defying a judge's deportation order, but she was living on taxpayer (state and federal) expense. Obama, of course, knew nothing about it. I guess that is just part of his plan to spread the wealth?

Hats off to AP for breaking the story rather than hiding it under the rug! I must note, however, that the reporters seem to be supportive of her petition for asylum, wondering why it wasn't granted, and relating [...]
