Reporter Attempts To Fabricate
liar-nObama Legacy, How About “America Killer?”

{rickwells.us} ~ AP’s Julie Pace clearly was given the assignment, “Go out and pretend that Hussein liar-nObama was the farthest thing from what he actually was – a legitimate and good American president.”... She pulled it off, as in she got through the segment, though whether she retains a smidgen of credibility or reputation afterwards is a question that remains to be answered. “Not much,” is getting the heavy betting action right now. Commie Mika asks comrade Julie if there will be anything beyond ;iar-nObama’s black half and the Lillie Ledbetter Act that will hold up. Pace makes the critical and probing observation that his blackness won’t be taken away from him, so his chief accomplishment is a genetic one. Almost as compelling as liar-Hillary Clinton’s plumbing. It still doesn’t negate his constitutional ineligibility; nothing does...

EU Elitist – Accept Terrorism, Worth It
To Include Jihadis In New Europe

{rickwells.us} ~ It’s readily apparent that the chronically drunk little EU bureaucrat doesn’t know anything about fighting or self defense. His comments indicate that he’s the last guy you’d want on your side in a survival situation... such as what the European nations now find themselves in as a result of EU subversion and globalist elite mismanagement. According to the laughing stock public drunk that heads the EU, Jean-Claude Juncker, the best way to fight terror is with “openness.” That’s the very reckless idiocy that got them into this mess in the first place. More of the same is not the solution. The crooked little bureaucrat stressed that Europe must continue to import barbarian Islamists into their nations in the aftermath of the horrific Berlin truck attack. Obviously It’s not for the benefit of the locals, but for the agenda of the elites, the creation of a borderless continent and ultimately their New World Order is the reason the destruction and chaos “must” continue...  http://rickwells.us/eu-elitist-accept-terrorism-worth-include-jihadis-new-europe/

{aim.org} ~ As controversy swirled around President-elect Donald J. Trump’s battle with the CIA concerning its questionable intelligence product on Russian hacking, a strong defense of the agency and an attack on Trump came from Joshua Rovner of Southern Methodist University (SMU)... Professor Rovner declared in a press release, “By ignoring intelligence, Trump risks policy tunnel vision.” But the idea that the CIA’s “intelligence” was sacrosanct was put in question when it was suggested that liar-nObama’s CIA director John Brennan was orchestrating what Rep. Peter King (R-NY) called a “hit job” on Trump. King said, “We have John Brennan—supposedly John Brennan—leaking to The Washington Post, to a biased newspaper like The New York Times, findings and conclusions that he’s not telling the intelligence committee…There should be an investigation of what the Russians did but also an investigation of John Brennan and the hit job he seems to be orchestrating against the president-elect.”...  http://www.aim.org/aim-column/the-cia-media-academia-axis/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email122716&utm_medium=email

Huckabee Idea For A Better 2017 –
Jackhammer UN Into The EastWe River

{rickwells.us} ~ Governor Mike Huckabee was once considered the front runner for the job of US Ambassador to Israel under the new incoming Trump administration. It’s not surprising he’s disheartened by the recent antics of the UN and the liar-nObama regime... with the orchestrated condemnation by abstention of hanoi-Kerry, Power and liar-nObama cooked up together as a parting shot to the Jewish nation. Governor Huckabee, in an appearance on Fox and Friends voiced a solution for the meddlesome, anti-American, anti-Israel, globalist power grabbing UN world government wannabes. He suggested, “I think we ought to get jackhammers and we ought to jackhammer the whole thing off. Float it into the East River. Ask anybody who would like to host it to come pick it up, haul it off, and it will be a lot easier to park in Manhattan after we get rid of it.”...  http://rickwells.us/huckabee-idea-for-a-better-2017-jackhammer-un-into-the-east-river/

Turkey President Claims Has Video Evidence
liar-nObama Is Supporting ISIS

{rickwells.us} ~ President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey is once again making accusations that the United States is directly supporting ISIS. He’s been mixed up in rumors of his supposed profiteering from the illicit ISIS oil trade in the past... so his accusations carry with them a need for healthy skepticism. Still, he is adamant in his allegations and says he’s got irrefutable evidence. His claims go beyond the single step of removal from direct involvement, our maintaining the implausible plausible deniability of aiding the so-called “freedom fighters” or rebels, the insulation the US has relied upon in arming, training and financing liar-nObama’s terrorist allies in the past. It’s more than an acknowledgment of the rebranding of ISIS terrorists, our supposed enemy, as anonymous factions under the White House subversive. It’s beyond the contention of the Russians or the photographic evidence that John McCain was foolish enough to provide, what is basically little more than a choice in headscarf colors, the difference between their equivalent of the crips and the bloods, as being the “legitimizing factor” for aiding our terrorist enemies as the non-existent moderate freedom fighters...  http://rickwells.us/turkey-president-claims-video-evidence-obama-supporting-isis/

“TO CHANGE anything in the Navy is like punching a feather bed. You punch it with your right and you punch it with your left until you are finally exhausted, and then you find the damn bed just as it was before you started punching.”

Franklin Roosevelt, 1940

{
unionleader.com} ~ What the former assistant secretary of the Navy said is descriptive of the entire military. Each service’s culture, and interservice rivalries, and bureaucratic viscosity are resistant to reform. Which is why the next secretary of defense, retired Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis, has the most difficult management challenge in American government.

He comes from a service whose core mission, small-unit combat, involves conflict at its most granular. He will now rely on companies like General Atomics here, whose business is leveraging technology to produce maximum potential military lethality with minimal costs.

The President-elect ardently advocated substantially increased defense spending, and just as ardently favors unrestrained entitlement spending. For about $500,000 in expenditures, the 9/11 attackers did over $2 trillion in damage to the United States and the world economy. The linked physical and cyber infrastructures of complex societies are vulnerable to such asymmetries. General Atomics’ scientists toil to redress this imbalance with, for example, the Predator and other remotely piloted aircraft (RPAs).

But they bristle at the word “drone,” which they think falsely suggests mindlessness on the part of aircraft that perform three “ISR” missions — intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance. RPAs can hover for 40 hours over a Middle East target and deliver, with Hellfire missiles, a munitions payload equal to an F-16’s. The “fast movers” — F-16s and the like — must refuel coming and going from the Gulf, and most have returned to their carriers without expending their ordinance. A Reaper, another type of RPA, can deliver what an F-35, the most expensive fighter aircraft, can. The Reaper is only half as fast, but is speed — aviation’s expensive goal since World War II — so important? An increasing amount of the Reaper’s and the F-35’s work, including sensing and jamming, is done at the speed of light, which is roughly 870,000 times faster than the F-35’s airspeed.

RPAs, which have logged more than 4 million flight hours looking, listening and attacking, can discover what the enemy is planning and doing, and can deliver precision strikes with minimal collateral damage. They could have been an inexpensive and low-risk way of intervening in Syria by enforcing a no-fly, no-movement zone that would have protected President Bashar Assad’s enemies and victims.

But because RPAs are unmanned, they clash with important components of the military culture. Marine jets from Miramar Air Station roar over General Atomics, making what has been called “the sound of freedom,” but some scientists here call it the sound of obsolescence.

The Navy is using high-powered electro-magnetic energy to replace steam catapults to launch 80,000-pound aircraft off carriers with less stress on the planes, and hence less maintenance expenses. Now the Navy is acquiring rail guns that use such energy to fire 15-to-25-pound, 18-inch projectiles at 5,000 miles per hour. They hit with the impact of a train slamming into a wall at 100 miles per hour. The high-speed, hence high-energy projectiles, which cost just $25,000, can radically improve fleet-protection capabilities: A barrage of them could counter an enemy’s more expensive anti-ship missiles.

The daunting challenge posed by defense against the proliferating threat of ballistic missiles is that it is prohibitively expensive to be prepared to intercept a swarm of incoming missiles. New technologies, however, can revolutionize defense against ballistic missiles because small, smart projectiles can be inexpensive. It takes 300 seconds to pick up such a launched missile’s signature, the missile must be tracked, and a vector calculated for defensive projectiles. A single 25-pound projectile can dispense over 500 three-gram tungsten impactors and be fired at hypervelocity by electromagnetic energy. Their impact force — their mass times the square of their velocity — can destroy expensive missiles and multiple warheads.

Mattis will be trying to take control of the often uncontrollable Pentagon, with its interservice rivalries and intricate problems of matching slowly developed weapons to rapidly metastasizing threats. The good news, such as it is, is this:The nation just experienced a raucous presidential campaign during which there was silence about the crisis of the entitlement state — an aging population’s pension and health care entitlements swallowing government resources, with alarming national security implications. But technology, pursued determinedly, has the potential to make peace through making deterrent strength less expensive.
