POPSControl-freaks: It Must Be in Their Genes At the heart of Obama's action plan to deal with every problem is the principle of government control over individual action. Consider the first problem: the economy. Obama's first action was to infuse failing financial institutions with borrowed money, with government strings attached. In exchange for the money, government gained veto power over the management of private corporations. Had the people in power not been infected with the "control" gene, financial institutions that had made bad business decisions would have paid the consequences, and the self-correcting free-market financial system would, ultimately, have been stronger. But alas, the poisoned tentacles of government now permeate the financial system.

POPSRussia & China pose more danger than Iran & N Korea Russia and China pose more of a threat in the nuclear showdown than Iran & N Korea. Russia and China could effectively bring both Iran and N Korea's nuclear ambitions to a halt if they felt it was in each country's best interest. Since both undoubtedly consider rouge states with nuclear weapons only poses a threat to the rest of the world, not themselves, then these two nuclear powers should be viewed as outlaw nations by the rest of the world. They (Russia & China) clearly state by their actions and vetos in the UN, that they do not want a peaceful world.

POPSIran seeks to buy banned carbon fiber
The two diplomats from International Atomic Energy Agency member nations said their intelligence agencies had reported suspicions that Iran wanted carbon fiber at least partly for its nuclear program. They spoke on condition of anonymity because their information was confidential. One of the diplomats told the AP that since early 2009, Iran Khodro has been taking steps for "a massive-scale procurement of carbon fiber." Iran Khodro head Manouchehr Manteqi, acting on orders of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, has "instructed a limited number of senior company executives to make the procurement as soon as possible," the diplomat said. The second diplomat told the AP that his country's intelligence services also believed Iran Khodro officials were preparing to make orders for carbon fiber. Manteqi vehemently denied that. "Reports that we are after carbon fiber are wrong," he told reporters in Tehran Wednesday, responding to a question from the AP.

POPSFox News began the call for an armed revolution Beck cheers them on. "This isn't a crazy scenario," he says. The survivalist thing is "likely" to happen. The collapse of Mexico will lead to "a possible uprising here in the United States." Then he turns back to the Wall Street Journal guy. "Real quick, how much are taxes in our scenario of 2014?" "If we tried to pay for all of the spending we have done in just the last 18 months with higher tax rates, the Heritage Foundation and other groups have estimated that the tax rate at the top would have to go to 80, 90, perhaps even 95 percent, which means that 95 percent of everything you make would have to go to the government just to pay for what we have already spent." "And what happens to the people when you start taxing?" "This is going to be violent," another guest answers. "The cities are going to look like Dodge City. They're going to be uncontrollable. You're going to have gangs in control, motorcycle marauders. You're not going to have enough police or federalis, just lik

POPSIsrael Will Act to Prevent a Nuclear Iran Iraq would become increasingly destabilized and the existence of the state of Israel will be directly threatened. Consider that, for many years, Iran has made no secret of its dubious long-term intentions. Israel's destruction has long been its fundamental objective. The multi-year international crisis with Iran is nearing its conclusion. Several months from now, Iran will have successfully achieved the capability to produce a nuclear weapon. Sadly, international diplomacy and an ineffective United Nations will not deter Iran from its nuclear ambition. The result is that the world is well on the path to another international military confrontation. Indeed, the ongoing threats from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad appear to leave Israel very little choice. In the next six months, Israel will act to prevent a nuclear Iran.

POPSPetraeus says Iran still training Iraq militants The commander of US forces in Iraq said on Wednesday that Iran was continuing to train militants despite Tehran's pledge to cut all support for the insurgency. General David Petraeus said he was uncertain if supplies of weapons flowing into Iraq from Iran was decreasing, but said that Iranian training of militants posed a serious threat to Iraq's stability. Asked whether Iran had stopped the flow of money and weapons into Iraq, Petraeus told reporters: "We honestly don't know, it is unclear. We do know that training (of Iraqi militants in Iran) has continued. "It is at an important scale, because these are individuals with considerable skill who can train other individuals in Iraq. "It is a very unhelpful addition to the mix. We call it a lethal accelerant to a situation in Iraq that already has enough challenges."

POPSConcern raised about anti-Iran rhetoric Well let's all stand and cheer for the worthless UN. The most useless orgainization on earth. We don't want to add fuel to the fire, but are perfectly willing to add nukes to the Iranian arsenal if we believe the UN.

POPSConstructive Nuke Ideas Well wish in one hand and s**t in the other, see which one will fill faster. Those that believe Ahmadinejad is the least bit trustworthy still believe in Santa too. Talk long enough and sure enough, Iran will have the nukes and be ready for more constructive dialogs
