One-on-one negotiations with Iran- Israel Says White House Kept Them In The Dark…

The rumors have been out there for a while now, but it seems to be clear that Obama has some sort of negotiations, or at least will announce some sort of negotiations between the United States and Iran.  Israel says the White House has kept them in the dark.

It is interesting that the agreement comes just two weeks before Election Day and the weekend prior to the final debate, which is to focus on foreign policy.

 

The story of the administration’s secret negotiations was broken on WND by Reza Kahlili. Reza Kahlili is a pseudonym for a former CIA operative in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and author of the award-winning book “A Time to Betray”.

While the New York Times reports Iranian officials insisting that talks wait until after the election so Tehran knows whom they will be negotiating with, WND sources say one of the enticements for Iran to announce a halt to enrichment now is to assist Barack Obama’s re-election chances. Mitt Romney is seen as less yielding than Obama and a president who will be quick to support Israel.  (WND)

Monkey in the Middle:

If the reports are correct then President Barack Hussein Obama has finally been able to throw Israel under the bus and is going to allow Iran to acquire a Nuclear Weapon.  A weapon that Iran WILL use to destroy Israel entirely.
WASHINGTON — The United States and Iran have agreed for the first time to one-on-one negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, according to Obama administration officials, setting the stage for what could be a last-ditch diplomatic effort to avert a military strike on Iran.

(NYT)   Iranian officials have insisted that the talks wait until after the presidential election, a senior administration official said, telling their American counterparts that they want to know with whom they would be negotiating.

News of the agreement — a result of intense, secret exchanges between American and Iranian officials that date almost to the beginning of President Obama’s term — comes at a critical moment in the presidential contest, just two weeks before Election Day and the weekend before the final debate, which is to focus on national security and foreign policy.

It has the potential to help Mr. Obama make the case that he is nearing a diplomatic breakthrough in the decade-long effort by the world’s major powers to curb Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, but it could pose a risk if Iran is seen as using the prospect of the direct talks to buy time.

It is also far from clear that Mr. Obama’s opponent, Mitt Romney, would go through with the negotiation should he win election. Mr. Romney has repeatedly criticized the president as showing weakness on Iran and failing to stand firmly with Israel against the Iranian nuclear threat.

Reports of the agreement have circulated among a small group of diplomats involved with Iran.  (continue at the New York Times)

 

Everyone knows you cannot believe anything that comes out of Barack Hussein Obama's mouth, nor can you believe anything that comes out of the Iranian leadership.  This is nothing more than Obam trying to sway the American peopld and sway the election.

Hospitals - Good Quality or just Good Surveys? You Decide!

By The Grouch at Right Truth

Did you know that Medicare pays hospitals based on the “quality of care” provided by the hospital? They withhold payment to hospitals that don’t “measure up”.

Did you know that Medicare uses patient surveys to determine the quality of care provided by the hospital?

Did you know that most lay people don’t really understand many of the questions asked on these surveys as they relate to quality? Many of the surveys are also completed by family members because the patient is unable to do so.

Did you know that Medicare grades hospitals on a comparison curve and that a hospital with raw scores in the low to mid 90’s will still be penalized? Only hospitals near the 100th percentile will not be penalized. I’m told this amounts to about 3 percent of hospitals.  (continue reading at The Grouch at Right Truth)

 

Report: U.S. Had Predator Drone Over Benghazi As Attack Happened, “They Stood And They Watched And Our People Died”…

Via Weasel Zippers:

Sickening.

(CBS News) — The closer we get to the election, the harder Republicans in Congress are pushing for answers to a big question: What really happened in the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya last month that killed the U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans?

Some lawmakers are asking why U.S. military help from outside Libya didn’t arrive as terrorists battered more than 30 Americans over the course of more than seven hours. The assault was launched by an armed mob of dozens that torched buildings and used rocket propelled grenades, mortars and AK-47 rifles.

CBS News has been told that, hours after the attack began, an unmanned Predator drone was sent over the U.S. mission in Benghazi, and that the drone and other reconnaissance aircraft apparently observed the final hours of the protracted battle.

Why is the Obama campaign borrowing $15M from Bank of America?

Is the Obama campaign broke?  We all know how freely they spend money and how obnoxious they have been about sending out pathetic emails begging for a few dollars.

Washington Free Beacon , via Drudge. 

Obama For America took out a $15 million loan from Bank of America last month, according to the campaign’s October monthly FEC report. The loan was incurred on September 4 and is due November 14, eight days after the election. OFA received an interest rate of 2.5% plus the current Libor rate.  [snip]

It is unclear why the first $1 billion campaign needed an extra $15 million for the final two months of the campaign.

There's more info at the Beacon.

Seems the Obama campaign is running on hope, spending and borrowing like there is no tomorrow.  Even all those illegal foreign donations can't save Obama.  May their hopes be dashed come election day.

 

No Joke: Gitmo Judge Grants 9/11 Mastermind’s Request To End Court Early Each Day Because It Makes Him Tired, Guards Forbidden To Wake Him Up Before 6:00 AM…

Via Weasel Zippers who says "sfnjipwe 345fjmmfasf njqefjknqwfe...  sorry about that, was banging my head off the keyboard.":

 

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE — He’s an international terror mastermind — but he needs his beauty sleep!

Cranky mass murderer Khalid Sheikh Mohammed griped to the judge that the long days are making him too tired to concentrate – and actually won his bid to have court break at 4 p.m. every day.

The motion also prevents guards from waking him up before 6 a.m.

KSM claimed that the long days and lack of sleep were triggering flashbacks to his torture at the hands of the CIA. He said he’s extra tired because of all the prep time needed for strip searches, prayer and personal hygiene.

The motion was filed Sunday, and the earlier break time went into effect the next day.

“For Mr. Mohammad, the worst thing about sleep deprivation in the present is that it will almost inevitably trigger a re-traumatization and retriggering of the sleep deprivation torture techniques inflicted upon him in the past at the hands of other American guards,” wrote his attorneys.

His motion cited the arraignment of he and his fellow terrorists in May, where court proceedings in some cases lasted 13 hours.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was given permission by the judge to wear an American camouflage vest during his hearing, perhaps another slap in the face to the victims’ families. 

The trials of the September 11, 2001 terrorists in Gitmo would be comical if their crimes were not so horrible.  The same can be said for the trial of Ft. Hood terrorist Malik Nidal Hasan where the judge can't even get the guy to shave his beard.

Also, these trials should have taken place long ago, the verdict should have been guilty on all counts, and the punishment (hopefullly death) should have been carried out.  The families of the dead and wounded go through the horror over and over again, day after day, as these politically correct shams drag out.

Mohammed and his fellow defendants, Walid  bin Atash, Ramzi Binalshibh,  Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi and Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, aka Ammar al Baluchi, face the death penalty if convicted by the military commission being held at Guantanamo.

Early in the week, Col. Pohl ruled in favor of two defense motions that impacted the flavor of the proceedings for the rest of the week.   On Monday, he ruled the five 9/11 defendants could choose not to appear at the rest of the week’s hearings.  He instituted a format where they would be asked daily whether they wanted to appear or not.  [snip]

 

Brig. Gen. Mark Martins, the lead prosecutor, acknowledged the slow pace of the proceedings and agreed he did not see a trial in 2013.

“We know people are impatient with the pace of proceedings,” Martins said.

That likely is particularly true for the families of the 9/11 victims.

“Justice delayed is justice denied,” said Al Acquaviva whose son, Paul Acquaviva, was killed in the attack on the World Trade Center.  As he watched the proceedings in person, Acquaviva criticized Pohl for the slow pace.

The next round of pre-trial motions hearings are scheduled to begin Dec. 3  (ABC)

Those poor families.  Those terrorists should have been roasting in Hell for years, yet we are worried that they get enough sleep and that we don't hurt their feelings.

A couple of observations: 

Notice hos much weight KSM has lost since he was taken into custody.  I'm sure he is eating better in Gitmo, with all the special prepared Halal meals, exercise room, soccer field, long restful nights to sleep with the warm ocean breeze flowing.  

Also, is it just me or does KSM now look a lot like Osama Bin Laden with that beard???

 

URGENT – DEATH PANELS HERE, DOCTORS PLEA FOR HELP

By Sharon Sebastian        Website: www.DarwinsRacists.com

 

Doctors across America are sick. A new and desperate plight has surfaced in emergency rooms across the nation for both patients and doctors alike. The following blog by one valiant doctor speaks for thousands of doctors being forced to go against their natural instincts and abilities to allow further hospital care and re-admit patients.

 

Effective October 2012, doctors at hospitals across the land are being forced by the Obama administration to break their Hippocratic Oath. Obama’s revamped Medicare has now begun forcing doctors at hospitals to turn their backs on patients no matter how critical their need for re-admittance. Obamacare has activated a mandate through Medicare that will cost thousands of lives and serves as the precursor to Obama’s inhumane and authoritarian Death Panels.

 

The following excerpts are used with permission from the blog of Dr. Thomas Hamilton (LINK/LINK), an American doctor who speaks truth to power. Dr. Hamilton describes how he was torn between providing medical help to a very sick senior or turning her away to face a certain and tragic fate without treatment.

 

“It was my plan to admit this woman to the hospital. I found out a little later that this same woman had been a patient here just slightly more than 2 weeks ago with a DIFFERENT DIAGNOSIS. I was told that if this woman was admitted, the hospital would not be paid.

 

The new Medicare rule now is that if the same Medicare patient is re-admitted to the hospital within 30 days, the hospital will not be paid. When they first started this nonsense they said this only applied to patients with the same diagnosis. Now they have "expanded" the rule to include re-admissions for any reason. So if you're in the hospital for pneumonia, and 3 weeks later, you break your leg.......too bad. Medicare will not pay the hospital to fix your leg.

 

A little later a man was brought in by ambulance, very sick, in pain, and near death. I did my usual evaluation and treatment, doing my best to ease pain and stabilize this man's illness. He needed to be admitted. To my chagrin I found out that he had been treated for the SAME problem at a DIFFERENT HOSPITAL about 10 days prior. If I admitted this man, our hospital would be paid nothing.  I admitted the man.

 

My friends I am caught in a terrible position. I could have given treatment to both of these people and sent them out. There is no doubt that both of them would have died. Oh, I could also be sued for malpractice, but nobody cares about that.

 

The good doctor goes on to explain,

 

“As more and more are added to the Obamacare rolls, there will be less and less access. People will get sicker and yes, people will die because of it. I had a sick and sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach today after both of these incidents. We have a good hospital. Our nurses, technicians, and support staff work very hard and they deserve to be paid for their efforts. I am not so worried about myself as I am near retirement, but I worry for all the younger folks in the healthcare business and I worry about our seniors who are in the long run going to be sacrificed as the government implements cost cutting shenanigans to cover up their broken promise made way back in 1964.

 

In a recent article, SICK – NO APPEAL – IT’S OBAMACARE (LINK), I wrote:

 

“Slashed doctors' pay, reduced services to patients of all ages and medical devices and testing equipment made by cheap overseas labor are cutting-block initiatives by the Obama government. Already targeted are our most defenseless -- our mentally and physically disabled in institutionalized care who require the most medical assistance at a higher cost? Obamacare is not about care. It is not about using America's advanced medical skills and technology, the finest in the world, to save lives of Americans regardless of race, age or class. It is about control. It is a power play that takes over one eighth of the U.S. economy. If not repealed, it is the unveiling of how a once great medical system became an ugly and deadly government-run ‘business’ in America.”

 

It is incomprehensible how Barack Obama can throw billions of dollars at political cronies, irresponsible unions, failed and bankrupt “green” projects, elaborate vacations, contraceptives, sterilizations and abortions-on-demand when those critical dollars could go towards improving medical care for all Americans from newborns to seniors. Under Obamacare, average Americans and their families are targeted. Where is Obama’s oft-repeated demand for “fairness” and an “equal playing field” when he cunningly exempts himself, his elitist friends and his political cronies from the perils of his signature law -- Obamacare?

Doctor Hamilton’s comment: LINK: It would be nice to blame all of this on Obama and hope that it would disappear if Obamacare is repealed, but the fact of the matter is that this has been coming way before Obamacare. It is the fault of both political parties. I doubt most of the politicians in congress realize the real time ramifications of their actions and the layers of bureaucracy perpetrated by HHS that pervert and distort the original intent of any laws they may have passed. A while back, our congresswoman, Marsha Blackburn, visited our facility in person. These issues were brought to her attention. I was not there but I was given the impression that the gravity of the situation did not sink in with her and even if it did, she's just one voice out of 435. It would be nice to think a president Romney would fix this but I fear the odds of this are non-existent to none.

'My son is not very optimal - he is very dead': Mother of diplomat killed in Benghazi attack slams Obama's comment on raid

This mother is not happy and who can blame her?  Rather than get the truth from the Barack Hussein Obama administration on the death of her son, she was told she would be sent a form to fill if she wanted more info.

via the Daily Mail Online:

• President told Jon Stewart, 'If four Americans get killed, it's not optimal'
• Remarks sparked massive backlash from conservatives on social media
• Mother of slain diplomat Sean Smith says Obama was 'disrespectful'

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline today, Pat Smith, whose son Sean died in the raid, said: 'It was a disrespectful thing to say and I don't think it's right.

'How can you say somebody being killed is not very optimal? I don't think the President has the right idea of the English language.' [snip]

 

The website Breitbart criticised the president for playing down the deaths of the four Americans when he used words such as 'crude and disgusting' to describe the anti-Muslim YouTube video that was initially linked to the attacks.

'To reiterate: deaths of Americans are "not optimal," and "bumps in the road." A YouTube video is "bigotry," "blasphemy," "crude and disgusting," an "insult," and inhuman,' commentator Ben Shapiro wrote.  (read more at the Daily Mail, via Drudge)

Not to worry though.  Obama voters are ignorant on the subject of the attacks in Libya.

Obama's Second Terrorism Cover-Up: Ft. Hood.

The Council Has Spoken! This Week’s Watcher’s Council Winners

The Council has spoken, the votes have been cast, and the results are in for this week’s Watcher’s Council match up.

Even taking into consideration the normal high level of quality in both the Council and Non-Council entries, this was a tough call with some exceptional pieces to choose from, and the close vote tallies reflect that, believe me!

An old saying…the coverup’s worse than the crime.

This week’s winner, The Independent Sentinel’s  False Benghazi Narrative Exposed, Bizarre Finger Pointing, a Leaderless White House is an excellent look at the Benghazi debacle and the White House attempt at a politically motivated coverup. Here’s a slice:

the wheel spins if you give it time

Did you really ever believe the movie trailer led to the Benghazi attacks? I googled anti-Mohammad videos on YouTube to see if the trailer was unique. It was not. I found hundreds of anti-Mohammad videos within minutes and I didn’t try very hard. So, why this video? There is no reason. It could have been any video. It wasn’t about the video.

Using the trailer as an excuse works for terrorists who want to keep President Obama in office but still launch an attack. The attackers at several of the embassies, including the one in Cairo, chanted, “Obama, Obama, we are all Osama,” giving a clear indication of who they were really angry with.

Did spiking the football at the DNC Convention have NOTHING to do with the attacks? The death of Osama bin Laden was glorified 21 times during the convention.
Benghazi was particularly horrific and we lost four lives:

SICK - NO APPEAL – IT’S OBAMACARE

By Sharon Sebastian                Website:  www.DarwinsRacists.com

 

Where will you turn? Your seriously ill child is in need of an expensive medical procedure that has a low-percentage chance to save his life. Does his life warrant an available, but costly cure? Under Obamacare you must get in line to ask a government number-cruncher, a bureaucrat, to decide. If the answer is -- “No, it costs too much according to Obamacare’s budget allocations based on the boy’s low likelihood of survival,” then you are left bereft with a life-wrenching crisis with nowhere to turn. Once the government panel of Obama acolytes says “no,” they fiducially wash their hands of you and your sick child save possible referral to a hospice or life-ending assistance called “comfort care.” Under Obamacare, you have nowhere to appeal.

 

You are Asian, Hispanic, Black, White or, for heaven’s sake, you are from Illinois or New York. You voted for Obama. Do they care? No. But, you are young, not like older folks who you declare have lived their lives. Does it matter?  No. Socialized medicine is a numbers game where expense or cost to treat a patient outweighs the humanity. Sure, there are doctors and nurses, therapists and care givers aching to help -- to give care or cure to their fellow man, woman or child -- but they will not get paid if a Death Panel bureaucrat says no to you, your doctor and your treatment. According to MyGovCost.org, “Eighty-three percent of American physicians have considered leaving their practices over Obama’s health care reform law.” A third of that loss would be devastating. Doctor shortages impact all patients regardless of age. Welcome to Obamacare.

 

Your grandmother, a naturalized American-Hispanic, has a hip operation. She has a minor complication that requires a quick return to the hospital for a day or two. Is she likely to be readmitted? Not likely. Obamacare’s reworked Medicare is now mandated to attempt to block her return to the hospital, or even being referred to a doctor, by financially penalizing the hospital if they dare readmit her within 90 days. Your grandmother may find it expensive, but necessary, to return to Mexico for treatment and stay with family – if physically able.
