1…………> S400 Missile Defense: Danger Ahead

How dangerous is the newest Russian S400 Missile System? Most importantly, it supports four different missiles – the very long range 40N6E-series (250 miles), the long range 48N6 (160 miles), the 9M96e2 (75 miles) and the short range 9m96e (25 miles). By comparison the US Patriot system supports only one interceptor missile with a range of 60 miles.

The 9M96E2 is the dangerous component of the S-400 system since it can fly at Mach 15 (around 15,000 feet/sec  or 11,500 mi/h), can engage targets as low as 15 feet off the ground, and it can maneuver pulling up to 20 Gs. It is designed to knock out penetrating aircraft and missiles flying “off the deck” or just above ground and neutralize cruise missiles.


So is no wonder that Saudi Arabia’s and Turkey purchased the S-400 anti-aircraft Triumph anti-missile system from Russia in a major blow to the United States and its European allies.

In addition the S-400 has optional acquisition radars designed to defeat modern stealth aircraft such as the F-22 and the F-35. They work by operating in multiple frequency bands including both VHF and L bands that can “see” stealth-protected fighters.

2…………..> Cruise Missiles: US Icebreakers

The US Coast Guard is seeking to equip icebreaker vessels operating near the Arctic Ocean with cruise missiles for the first time as US hopes to get ahead in the new “Cold War” brewing in the world’s coldest waters, a policy decision confirmed by Coast Guard Commandant Paul Zukunft that is looking for new icebreakers capable of storing and firing heavy weapons. 

Speaking before a House panel, Zukunft stated “We need to look differently… at what an ice breaker does. We need to reserve space, weight, and power if we need to strap a cruise missile package on it.”

Weaponized icebreakers are desirable, according to Zukunft, “in the event this world changes in the next five, 10, even 15 years from now… you can’t project out the status quo.”

3…………..> On A Warpath: Uncle Soros 

Infamous Hungarian-American billionaire and philanthropist George Soros said he feels “more than ready to fight back” against the ideology of “nationalism.” 

“It’s déjà vu all over again with one big change — the dominant ideology in the world now is nationalism,” Soros, who is largely seen as the adept of “globalism” claimed, dubbing Russia “the resurgent power” and warning that the EU is “on the verge of a breakdown.”

Yet he appears to have a wide range of very powerful enemies as the statements below may attest to.

 “George Soros… continuously undermines Israel’s democratically elected governments by funding organizations that defame the Jewish state and seek to deny it the right to defend itself,” the foreign ministry stated.
 

“The only network which operates in mafia ways, which is not transparent… in Hungary is the Soros network,” said Hungarian PM Viktor Orban “National Consultation 2017,” targeting dozens of the magnate-linked non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the country.

Despite heavy criticism from Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and American conservatives, Mr.Soros believes that Russia is behind much of the attacks against him over his support to the Georgian so-called Rose revolution of 2003, leading to Russian Prosecutor General’s Office banning the “Open Society Foundations” and its affiliates as “undesirable groups,” threatening the country’s national security.

4………….> The Mongols vs DOJ:

“Gangs that conspire to spread illegal drugs like methamphetamine and lethal opioids, extort legitimate businesses, and wage violence on our fellow Americans will be held accountable by the Department of Justice. Last year, we secured the convictions of more than 1,200 gang members, and, as this case makes clear, we are not slowing down. I want to thank the ATF and all of our incredible state, county, and local law enforcement partners who helped make today’s indictment possible, including the Clarksville and Owensboro Police Departments, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and four county sheriff’s offices. Today’s indictment is the next step in our efforts to dismantle gangs and stop the spread of deadly drugs and violent crime,” Attorney General Sessions described a 54-count indictment charged 12 members of the Mongols Motorcycle Gang (Mongols) with racketeering conspiracy,engaging in a host of violent criminal activities, including murder, attempted murder, assault, kidnapping, robbery, extortion, witness tampering, money laundering, interstate travel in aid of racketeering, and large scale drug trafficking.

Three other individuals were charged with other federal crimes including large-scale drug trafficking allegedly from California to Tennessee and Kentucky, and crimes related to the Hobbs Act.

5…………> The Americans vs Illegals: Schummer

When President Trump said that we may have a “good shutdown”, he probably meant the looming budget standoff as the Democrats are blackmailing the country to grant amnesty to 800,000 DACA so called dreamers, branding it the “Schumer Shutdown.”

Donald J. Trump tweet:

“Government Funding Bill passed last night in the House of Representatives. Now Democrats are needed if it is to pass in the Senate – but they want illegal immigration and weak borders. Shutdown coming? We need more Republican victories in 2018!”

“What they’re simply trying to do is hold the government hostage, our military, kids’ health, over something completely unrelated,” House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said on Fox News Friday.

Fearful that a shutdown will harm the U.S. military, President Trump has strongly urged Congress to keep the government open, yet with hours away from a very unpleasant event, he seemed resigned to a shutdown, blaming Democrats for prioritizing “illegal immigration and weak borders.”

The White House said that Mr.Trump will not travel to Florida as previously scheduled, until the continuing resolution is signed.

1…………> Identity Fraud:

A Dominican citizen named Furvio Flete-Garcia, 45, a resident of Lawrence, Massachusetts, was sentenced to 11 years in prison today after pleading guilty  to conspiring to defraud the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), access device fraud, theft of government property, aggravated identity theft and money laundering.

According to the indictment, the defendant obtained the personal identification information of Puerto Rico residents and without their knowledge or consent, paid others to prepare and file tax returns with the IRS in their names, as he collected $7 million in fraudulent refund checks at two different check cashing businesses in Lawrence. An additional $5 million of refunds were claimed on fraudulent income tax returns presented to the IRS.

2…………> Christmas Carol:Enter Dickens

In early 1840s post-Industrial Revolution Britain was experiencing an economic depression, with raging unemployment after few bad harvests, and the price of food well beyond the reach of the commoners, an infamous period of country’s history appropriately labeled as the ‘Hungry Forties’. About that time Charles Dickens was invited to a fundraising dinner in aid of the Charterhouse Square infirmary, and was horrified by the depth of poverty in Manchester’s population of elderly, impoverished men. 

Appalled by the establishment whom he resentfully described as “overfed, snorting cattle”, he wanted to write something on behalf of poor children that would grab people’s attention, something to strike “a sledgehammer blow” and have “twenty thousand times the force” of a government pamphlet.
This irresistible impulse for social change was amplified by the trials of his disabled nephew Harry Burnet, who became the inspiration for Tiny Tim, and the rest is a literary history.

3………….> Santa Trump: 2015 Christmas Message
A Reprint of a 2015 Christmas Post On The Trials Of Then Candidate Donald J. Trump.

As Christmas is just around the corner and most of the Establishment RomRyns (Romney/Ryan boys) had a disastrous and losing campaigns, it is appropriate to reminisce our August 27, 2015 Santa Trump post: While the peaceful Filipinos are feasting on adobo, pancit and warm rice, listening to nocturnal Sinatra songs in their island paradise, the Chinese tug boats have roped the whole archipelago, dragging it West/ North West at 1/4 miles per day. By the time Obama is out in some 500 days and the last suitcase has been thrown in the back of his limousine, the Philippines will be overlapping the Chinese artificial islands and they can take possession without firing a shot(and they really did). Obama of course could care less, and naturally “downplay” the whole crime, tossing it in the lap of the Republicans. Meanwhile, Pres. Putin would have taken over the North pole territories, de-facto making Santa Claus and his reindeer’s Russian nationals, giving then Pres. Trump his first challenge; A Western Christmas without Santa. But being the manager and commander he is, Chief Trump will quickly find a amicable solution. The Constitution does not prevent the Commander in Chief of being Santa Claus, so why not do a double duty? Get nine Fox News bred and raised reindeer’s Graham, Kasich, Pataki and Cristen, Carson, Cruzen, Santorun and Jinden, Rudolf naturally replaced by his favored girl Megyn. Who’s stocking will be empty next Christmas? Chief Trump earliest detractors at Macy and Jeb “My family loves open borders” Bush.

4…………> As the brilliant star of Jesus the Forever Light is about to raise over Bethlehem, let’s listen to Christus Vincit and pray that we are blessed with pure hearts and strong spirits to reject evil and help those who are alone, in darkness or in pain.
