HALF-FULL REPORT 07/10/09

I love negative numbers.  They’re so much fun – especially this one:  minus 8.

The HFR of just over a month ago – 06/05/09 – celebrated Zero finally hitting zero on Scott Rasmussen’s Daily Presidential Tracking Poll, when for the first time those who strongly disapprove of him equaled those who strongly approve for a rating of 0.

"It won’t be long now until they go in the minus column for the Fascist-in-chief and keep heading south. You can follow them daily on Rasmussen’s Approval Index History," advised the HFR. 

For the past two weeks, they’ve been falling off a cliff so dramatically that yesterday (7/09), Rasmussen’s -8 rating was the lead story on Drudge.  This morning (7/10) it’s -7.  No surprise to TTPers.

***
Also no surprise are the explosive riots that started Sunday (7/05) in the Chicoms’ colony of East Turkestan, or Xinjiang (zin-john) as they call it. 

As summarized in the HFR of 06/26/09, the TTP background articles on East Turkestan are Tyranny and the Boogieman of Islam (6/05), The Evil Empire of the 21^st Century (8/08), and The Sands of the Takla Makan (10/08).

The riots and demonstrations by the colonized Uighur people began in Urumchi, a huge faceless and totally charmless city of 5 million Chinese sent there for the express purpose of colonizing East Turkestan.  They have now spread to the heart of Uighur culture, the ancient Silk Road city of Kashgar. 

The anti-Chinese unrest is so bad that today (7/10) the Chicoms ordered all foreign journalists out of the city.  The spreading unrest is so serious that Chicom president Hu Jintao had to leave the G-8 summit in Rome this week and scurry back to Beijing.

I traveled several thousand kilometers all through East Turkestan last fall and have good friends in Kashgar.  The Uighurs (wee-gurz) are a non-Chinese Turkic people just like those in (former Soviet) Uzbekistan.  Their struggle for freedom is far less known than that of Tibet, another Chicom colony that adjoins East Turkestan. 

Just as in Tibet, any attempt by the oppressed people of East Turkestan is put down by brutal murderous force.  Chicom troops have killed hundreds in Urumchi and are killing Uighurs in Kashgar as you are reading this.

The liberation struggle in East Turkestan provides another golden opportunity for America to support freedom and democracy over dictatorship.  And just as with Iran, America‘s President Zero is saying nothing in support of freedom, and is siding with the dictators.

The Uighurs, however, have a huge diaspora in various countries, particularly Turkey.  Support there for an oppressed fellow Turkic people, as these pictures show, is strong.  And while Turkey‘s leaders have been bribed by the Chicoms to be pro-China, most Turks are decidedly not.

So the place to watch on this is not Washington but Ankara.  Turkey is the leader of the Turkic world that stretches from the Mediterranean to the Gobi.  Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan (air-do-wan) is so deep in Beijing’s pocket he is refusing to put discussion of the Urumchi riots on the agenda of the UN Security Council.

This is infuriating to millions of Turks.  A number of Turkish organizations are calling for a boycott of all Chinese goods, and not just in Turkey, but in all Islamic countries.  For the Uighurs are also fellow Moslems.  Their colonial repression may be the catalyst for China to be the villain of the Islamic world, rather than the US.

The world is shifting fast.  China is replacing the US as the country the world loves to hate, and the leader of the US is becoming someone not to be feared but laughed at.

You’ve probably seen this now world famous pic of Zero eyeing the derriere of a 16 year-old Brazilian girl, Mayora Tavares, at the G-8 in Rome.  Since in the UK what Zero is looking at is called a girl’s "bum," the world press is having a field day calling Zero "O-bum-a," and the episode "O-bum-a-gate."

The funniest thing the HFR finds about the pic, though, is not Zero but Sarkozy.  His amused expression looking at Zero is priceless.  Especially because all Paris knows that Sarko will make a play for anything wearing a dress.  Although he steers clear of underage dresses, he’s so compulsive that – as reported in the 04/03/09 HFR – he even once made a pass at Mrs. Zero.

***
Even funnier than O-bum-a-gate at the G-8 was China and India killing cap and trade.  The refusal of both to sacrifice their economies at the global warming shrine makes Zero’s Climate Bill impossible to pass in the Senate – particularly with the announced opposition of Bobby Byrd. 

As the HFR has long predicted, this major fascist priority of Zero is going down in flames.  And China gets the blame.  You couldn’t ask for a better two-fer.

***
Speaking of going down in flames brings up the economy – and thus the political power –  of Russia.  It’s totally dependent on exports of crude oil and natural gas.  Of the two, gas is the more important.

Have you noticed the collapse of natural gas prices in the US?  That’s because production is rapidly increasing due to new technology allowing extraction of what’s known as "unconventional gas" – gigantic reservoirs within tight sands, shales, and coalbeds.

This technology is now migrating to Europe.  There are enormous coalbeds throughout Europe – Kosovo, for example, has one of the largest reserves of lignite coal in the world.  But it’s expensive and dirty.  The new technology will allow extraction of massive amounts of clean and cheap natural gas from these coalbeds.

Which means Europe will no longer be dependent on natural gas from Russia.  Putin’s main goal regarding Europe is to make it politically subservient to Russia (and thus break it away from the US) via energy dependency.  His gas monopoly Gazprom is the vehicle.

The surge in US gas production is about to be replicated in Europe.  Putin’s strategy is kaput.  Neither Zero nor any of his advisors, of course, showed the slightest understanding of this crucial geopolitical dynamic while in Moscow or Rome in the past week.

(Oh, by the way – there’s only one person in America that Russians across the board, from the Siloviki elite in the Kremlin to folks on the street in Nizhny Novgorod – despise more than Zero, whom they think is a spineless moron.

That would be Hillary Clinton.  Her nickname throughout Russia is Bolshoiaya Suka – the Big Bitch.)

There’s a good guy Congressman from Michigan with the marvelous name of Thaddeus McCotter.  He’s such a good guy that he’s written a letter to Zero denouncing the president’s support of former Honduran president Manuel Zelaya, whom McCotter reveals has been engaged in drug trafficking with Hugo Chavez.

With more and more Republicans standing up for Honduran president Roberto Micheletti, the odds are growing daily that he will withstand the global communist onslaught against him.

My old friend and conservative legend Woody Jenkins (whose beautiful daughter Catherine is married to my son Brandon – 1^st Lt. USMC!) now has a website, SupportFreeHonduras.  Woody can show you how you can help.

This week I drove through California to see friends like Joel Wade.  We’re all familiar with the famously beautiful places like Malibu or the Big Sur.  But how about Salinas or Paso Robles?

I was born in California and lived most of my life here until I moved to DC.  And again I was simply overwhelmed by the beauty of the state – particularly because its natural beauty is so enhanced by its man-made beauty.  The countryside around Paso Robles, for example, easily matches or exceeds the charm of Italian Tuscany.

The amount of agricultural production along 101 around Salinas is staggering – and it’s so gorgeous, manicured, and efficient.  This is America at its best.  Yet California is now the poster child for political dysfunction.  This place is going bust, as we all know.

The lesson is that it was conservatism that created the beauty and success of California – government getting out of the way of entrepreneurs, enabling them not stifling them – and liberalism that has destroyed it.

The good news is that destructive liberalism is imploding.  So much so that California‘s major banks as of today (7/10) are refusing to cash Sacramento‘s IOUs.

It’s another sign that liberalism will soon die here, and then across America.  The beauty of California – and America – will be genuine again.  The HFR raises a large glass of Paso Robles merlot to that.
