Obama's "Partners" In Yemen Overthrown As Presidential Palace Falls To Local Militiamen
It seems like an eternity ago when Obama delivered the following extensively choreographed "Statement by the President on ISIL", in which he praised US anti-terrorist tactics, giving Yemen and its "partners" as an example of "successful" US foreign intervention. To wit:
Now, it will take time to eradicate a cancer like ISIL. And any time we take military action, there are risks involved –- especially to the servicemen and women who carry out these missions. But I want the American people to understand how this effort will be different from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil. This counterterrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort to take out ISIL wherever they exist, using our air power and our support for partner forces on the ground. This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years. And it is consistent with the approach I outlined earlier this year: to use force against anyone who threatens America’s core interests, but to mobilize partners wherever possible to address broader challenges to international order.
He may want to scrub that statement because just 4 months after reading that from the Teleprompter, America's "partners on the Yemen front lines" have officially fled quietly into that good night, abandoning the control of the nation to local Shiite militiamen.
From Reuters:
Houthi fighters entered Yemen's presidential palace after a brief clash with the compound's security guards, witnesses and security sources told Reuters, a day after some of the worst battles in the capital in years. Guards at the presidential palace housing the main office of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi said they handed over the compound to Houthi fighters after a brief clash. Witnesses said there was a brief clash between a Houthi force and palace guards.
Witnesses also said they saw the Houthis seize armoured vehicles that had been guarding the entrances to the palace. The Houthis on Monday fought artillery battles with the army near the presidential palace, in some of the most intense fighting in Sanaa in years, and surrounded the prime minister's residence.
The WSJ adds that there is no information on the current whereabouts of the Yemen president:
The whereabouts of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi were unknown. The number of casualties was also unknown.
The Houthis are demanding a greater say in the government and in the drafting of Yemen’s new constitution. They oppose Mr. Hadi’s recommendation that the constitution stipulate the division of Yemen into six federal states.
And with oil-prices plunging once again, which means social instability in the middle east is about to explode making the Arab spring of 2011 seem like child's play by comparison, things around the globe are about to take a dramatic turn for the worse.

Nuke Yemen
Nobody will notice any difference!
Who even heard of Houthis before? Sounds like a street gang or a bunch of rappers.
Ahhhhh ......imagine that NATURE eventially has to be obeyed......Shit always finds its lowest level due to gravity......couldn't happen to a nicer group of slimeballs
Some Of Our FOLKS Just Got Overthrown.
Yemeni prez is safely in the City of London no doubt.
pods
Probably in a no-go zone I would imagine
Note to other Middle East countries: If you let America drone your civilians with impunity, you will pay dearly.
How long before we here calls for 'American advisors' to go to Yemen. A few hundred at first, all while we are assured boots on the ground is NOT an option. Before too long, it turns into a full on occupation. But, clueless Americans will no doubt rejoice , since they need to be protected from 'terrorism'
We've always been at war with whoeverthefuck was it again?
#@jenpsasucki says "we're looking at whether its safe or not so just be cautioned and betcha the hairdressers are not as good as you're used to so there's another reason to stay home."
and you thought charlie manson was dangerous
Next...
The House of Saud
I'm increasingly converned about the threat of cyberterrorism as rogue states and terrorist goups continue to develop ever more sophisticated strategies that target confidential data belonging western governments and corporations. Our governments are hopelessly unprepared to deal with this ever growing threat, and in my opinion we need to think seriously about our anti-hacking strategy and how we regulate the internet and other network protocols.
Welcome back MDB!
WTF you talkin' about. He never left his parents basement.
Most people afraid of terrorists find their parents basement to be the safest place. It might also contribute to some unfunded liability concerns on the part of the U.S. Budget, but hey, terrorists, what're you gonna do?
Now if good ol' fonestar would show up!
I missed them both......
In addition, Homeland Security (God, just like MDB I get a warm and fuzzy everytime I hear that) will be posting extra security at the little girl's undie sections at major little girl's undies retailers across this great nation on a hot tip developed via enhanced interrogation ("We don't torture." - Tenet) of one al-Baghdadi's chief lieutenants (if he in fact exists - naturally, it's classified).
[sigh] The Newbies just don't get MDB's old-fashioned, tongue-in-cheek satire or sarcasm. Alas, everything has to be explicit for them.
I guess that's the difference between American and British humor. One is overt and explicit, the other is subtle and implicit.
And, like others before me, I too have to wonder on occasion, if MDB isn't just Tyler messing with us when in a particular cheeky mood. The almost allergic reaction that MDB causes is fun to read though.
Welcome back and keep it up MDB.
rogue states and terrorist goups continue to develop ever more sophisticated strategies that target confidential data...
Would that include the likes of GSachs and their ability to infiltrate virtually every government on the planet and make a mockery of cyphrage entries supposedly related to the wealth of nations?
I will agree with your opinion we need to seriously deal with these threats, as these are not some kind of futuristic probability, but these information hackings and regulation scofflaws have been, are and will continue to persist in their rampant thievery, incessant ubiquitous presence and craven desire to enslave ever more souls in their deceitful misery.
For starters, End the Fed.
"Helter-Skelter!!"
The advisors are going to be overwhelmed. They've gotta sleep sometime, and it looks like the world isn't going to let them. Tough job, running a faux empire.
"...If you let America drone your civilians with impunity..."
And yet, I'm perplexed:
Does this mean obomber will be sending to Yemen more — or less — flying killer robots to blow children to pieces (the only purpose of which, of course, is to create more "terrorists" or "Islamist extremists" — i.e. the fathers of those children).
Can we make up a name for some group and have them ride down out of the mountains of Virginia and overthrow Washington DC?
Appalachian Axis?
Oh, that's good. It's got a down-home kind of feel, but with just enough fear that people won't question the meme very strenuously.
The Hooters ?
Money:
Sorry, but "The Hooters" is already taken to describe the breasts of the Hooter's restaurant Girls . . .
Hooter's Girl: Care for some Hooter's wings?
Typical horny guy (aka their target market): Thanks, but I'll take your Hooter's breasts and thighs . . .

Grand-daddy Bush tried that with Smedley Butler.
Don't expect a man on horseback to save you.
Butcher Holler Gang holed up at the Mayberry Motel in Mt. Airy after a sweep through the DC plains. This terrorist group used stolen M-Raps that were waiting for distribution at an unnamed facility in Langley, Va. The group's spokes person, who only identified himself as "Jehoshaphat", said they would next take over Philadelphia and establish their new capitol there after the planned destruction of the Federal Corporate Zone.
In further developments, the so called Butcher Holler group declared it was working on a new Constitution for their Republic."Basically we will just use the old Constitution for the United States of America but eliminate everything after the 13th Amendment not Ratified but only enacted." The group leader, who goes by the adopted name of Thomas Paine, said in a tirade and holding his index finger in the air, that the previous Acts of Congress that were fraudulently added to the old Constitution and not Ratified by the various States will be eliminated.
Cockroaches in the Federal District could be seen scurrying about frantically looking for a place to hide their ill gotten gains.
I like yer movie, have you written a screenplay?
It was called Stonewall Jackson's Confederate cavalry. And the next time we are within 50 miles of Washinton D.C. we would expect a little help from our Northern flank .
Yep. As the Onion says, we're still planning to rise again, we just can't get to it right now.
http://www.theonion.com/articles/south-postpones-rising-again-for-yet-another-year,377/
Well, 150 years ago, they were known as Confederates.
They had the Generals, but not the technology, resources and was blockaded. I'd say though that they (we) put up a pretty good fight. I wonder how things would have gone if England would have helped.
If General Lee had spent the time and read Sun Tuz , the Art of War he may not of fucked up as to loose the war .
@ NoDebt,
We do. And, we're called American Patriots. Sitting, waiting & keeping our powder dry.
By the way, in relation to the article:
"Mission Accomplished"
Just don't call them Crimson Tide. Folks might think the Argies are coming.
hillbilly regime...that would include all to missouri...
The Yokel Militia...
Who even heard of Houthis before? Sounds like a street gang or a bunch of rappers.
no, if so that would be whodis..?.
Weren't Houthis in a Star Wars movie?
I thought they were the Band behind the lead singer.
"Houdi and the Blowfish.". Didn't they have a big hit back in the day?
Houthis were big in the 90s the were with the blowfish.....
Yep, that's the one.
I believe it is pronounced 'who this'? And now we have all heard of them.
'Who this' eh. Well then. Who that?
Can't touch This! Hou this?
(• still working on my 'word' skillz)
<< America's "partners on the Yemen front lines" have officially fled quietly...>
Most likely all relocated to the USA.
Two things you need to know about the Houthis: 1) Their chant is "Death to America" and 2) they are enemies of al-Qaeda
I thought that they were one of those African Yubangi type tribes...
Houthi and the Blowfish?
FORWARD SOVIET!
Sorry for the doublet.
FORWARD SOVIET!
you should have said KSA oil fields, everyone would notice and most would rejoice
the economy must be in worst shape than I thought. they can't even scrape together the black money to buy-out and/or assassinate their way to control again?
Rothschilds central bank in 5...4...3...2...
These are getting old now. Very catchy in 2012. But now --- meh -
Perhaps I should stick to something more catchy & original, like joking about the French.

Oh, so our glorious President was on the wrong side of things again? I calculate his batting average at .000 on this stuff.
The most wrong president in the history of the nation.
Actually, in his book, his average is 1.000.
He's batting 1.000 at fucking things up.
It's what happens when you put a political stooge in office who thinks that politics trumps reality. Remember, in the real world, a lot of tasks have more ways to be done wrong than they have ways to be done right. We are all going to learn this lesson the hard way, regardless of our actions. Hedge accordingly.
Arab Spring Part 2
If he is the Manchurian Candidate, as many postulate, then yes: He and Team Obama probably are batting 900+ at orchestrating the Chaos that is needed for New Order to emerge.
It's an interesting Hypothesis* to test, as we go forward.
.
* I ask that people learn the subtle but important differences between concepts like Hypothesis, Postulate, Theorem, Principle, Rule, Theory, and Law. Unfortunately all too many people are either too ignorant or too lazy, and use the term "Theory" for almost everything.
That would be like calling everyone in the military a "General". If it helps, think of a Hypothesis or Postulate as Privates, who (if tested and proven worthy) might promoted to officer rank of Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Colonel or General. So it is with the above terms.
Point taken. However, unless/until you educate all 7 billion to the differences it would be an exercise in futility.
This is what happens in the world when you have a weak leader like Obama....when there is no CAT..the mice take over...but it looks like oil production is going to drop over time as the radicals take over these countries for religious reasons....they do not like western oil....but watch Saudi Arabia...they are going to be a target soon I bet....after the King dies is my theory....
No doubt that you're right, so the king will mysteriously stay "alive" well past his "good until" date.
Once it gets out that he's gone, the ME will really heat up.
A strong leader would've stayed out of Yemen all together.
Apart from Terrorists and small amounts of oil what does Yemen export?
Sand
look at its geographical location....there is its importance. Especially with a perenially nervous Saudi Arabia.
this was no impromptu exercise I bet...........Putin bought off the Yemeni (or likely did through proxies) leadership with an offer they could nto refuse. Then the 'car backfired' as the pretext/signal.......and that was it.
Is the next stop the real target-Saudis?
They change their leaders faster then they change their underwear!
Cmon. The Washington Post and the NYT won't like this. AlQeada is on the run. The economy is improving. These guys just have not gotten the memo. This is not supposed to happen, so if we just pretend that it's all better, then it is. See. Shiny happy people!!!!
Barak knows whats going on. Trust him. Also, he's not a muslim. He's not a communist. He was bornin Hawaii. He rarely ever went to Rev Wrights church. He will not be or will ever be another tax and spend democrat. He will be more then willing to "cross the aisle" and wrok with congress. He is a uniter, not a divider. He is a good golfer too.
There. Now it's all better. Just go back to your candy crush and angry birds. All better=Don't worry.
Muslim Accomplished! Oh wait, Obumerang said noe of these guys are Muslims? Could that be what's pissing them all off?
Nobody's listening to Obama any more. Not even the Muzzies. They know he's a bag of hot air in a suit, nothing more.
They know he's a bag of SHIT in a suit, nothing more.
FIFY
I am reminded of Chris Rock's stand up routine, when he talks about a woman who hits a man. Then she flinches, and cowers, waiting for the responding ass whooping. And when it doesn't come....... It's game on motherfucker. Nothing like a beotch who KNOWS she can hit her man with impunity.
It's all relative, as pop used to say.
A Merc's got to make a living somewhere.
MOAR CHAOS
The definition of 'Terrorist' is ALWAYS decided by whomever is left holding the guns!
Obama is Overthrown as Presidential "Palace" Falls to Local Minutemen.
To the government overseers:
I clicked the "up arrow" not that I wish anything bad to happen to our brilliant leader. I was swatting a fly on the screen of this Galaxie S5 tracking device...and the thought of the local DC citizens forming a militia and storming the presidential palace is just plain funny.
yeah, that's it.
Never happen. DC has four sections to the city.
Northwest DC is nice - like where you & I would live if we had an extra million dollars to buy shelter.
Southeast and Northeast - close to inner Detroit. wouldn't catch me there in a thousand years. Southeast DC starts a few blocks behind the Capital.
4th section is K Street and other office buildings.
Let us hope and pray that we shall never be so desperate that we must partner up with Obama. it's the kiss of death.
The whereabouts of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi were unknown but if we go to Cyprus where he stashed the US cash we will certainly find him (and his cronies).
"Houthi fighters entered Yemen's presidential palace after a brief clash with the compound's security guards"
So it was a planned event. We need "boots on the ground" because the situation has changed.
MOAR
Every Houthi in Houthiville...
Even little Cindy-Lou Houthi?
Women and children first . . .
"Brief clash with Palace Guards..." - a car backfired and the Palace Guards promptly surrendered... The US State Department is the biggest pile of SHIT on the planet....
The US State Dept is staffed with the finest progressives available.
Grimaldus
But aren't these guys "Junior Varsity" level and on the run?
I wonder if the Houthi have blowfish????
ahhh church burnings and christian massacres on the MSM in 3.2.1.........
I'm sure there are at least like, 2 entire Christians in all of Yemen who are genuine believers and aren't collaborating with the West to annihilate their country in hopes of one day becoming good little Jesus-loving consumers like they see on their pirated satellite TV.
Does the MSM need any other reason to try and whip the US populace into boots on the ground, I think not....
when your country crumbles
you shall also be mocked
Is there any nation on Earth the USA can't turn into a non-stop tire fire of mutilated bodies and ruined infrastructure?
Maybe Andorra. I doubt there are any Americans of military age who even know it exists, much less where it is.
Oh, shit, now I've let their secret out...damn the NSA and their cyberspying.
Prelude to the House of Saud?
Iran will be all over this. The House of Saud has to be shitting their sirwals right now. The Sauds will soon lose control of the shiite areas.
I'm still trying to figure out which one will end up as House Harkonnen. I guess whoever is first to come up with hoverthrones and such will be the one.
The US State Dept., CIA and US military are all certifiably insane - the madness knows no limits....
Psychopathy - like ebola - is a dangerous, auto-infectious disease.
There is always a risk as long as the American public refuses to treat government and politicians without using proper biosafety procedures.
At a minimum, no politician or government official should be approached without using appropriate biosafety Level 3 practices and never before donning Level 3-class personal protective equipment. After exposure to a politician or government official, all clothing, automobiles, office furnishings and campaign literature should be disposed of in an approved Biosafety Level 3-class incinerator. Individuals coming into contact with politicians or government officials should shower in concentrated bleach for a minimum of ten minutes, scrubbing vigorously with a stiff wire brush. They should remain under observation in quarrantine for at least ten days being checked for any signs or symptoms of psychopathy.
The threat is real. It cannot be countered by small arms, a comfortable middle-class lifestyle, positive thoughts, devil worshipping, Twitter, stacking or voting.
You must protect yourselves and those around you.
Those whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.
As the ancient Chinese used to say, we have lost the Mandate of Heaven. It does not look good from here on out.
Is there a way to short sovereign nations?
Start a dead pool ETF?
Everything Obongo/NeoCons touch turns to sh!t
He is the Anti-Midas in every sense. He even has ass's ears
He'll always have Gay marriages as plus.
And having the SCOTUS call a government mandated premium a tax, outside the venue of the law as it was written.
And carrying on the legacy of afro-american golf popularity, now that Tiger is not playing well.
Those three things will fill the Library for sure.

Does Dear Leader Obama have any "partners" who are not extraordinarily effeminate, just waiting to be "taken" by big, strong, men?
Well, he used to have Janet Napolitano, and she seems to fit your stated characteristics.
She is somewhat of a big, strong, man.
"This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years."
Hollywood could not create a more incompetent or stupid leader.
Obama
It worked for decades...
After a more straightforward (and costly) approach under Bush(es) US is back to it.
Now I suspect it gets tough for the US to find patners actually unsuspecting of the fact that the US is not reliable as a partner...
Long live rebels everywhere.
"Watch as we crush yer rebel fleet with this fully-operational battle station..."
It worked in Japan and Germany, two nations of worker bees. So why can't it work in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen . . let's bomb them in the name of freedom and productivity. s/c
Yemen is where all the untouched Nat Gas is.... so Russia has Ukraine since Victoria the CheesePope screwed that deal up, the US State Dept has to "ride" in on their Kerry Kohn horse face and establish order in Yemen.
Obama understands all of this ... he is nuanced. He is also black which is why none of this is surprising to anyone in Africa or Middle East.
Houthi from hooterville.
dupe
it is absolutely coincidence that the terrorist attack in France was carried by people shouting they were 'Al Qaida from Jemen' and that pro-western Jemeni gov could use some humanitarian air-support from US and boots on the ground from NATO, like France.
oh and the fact that these Militiamen are Hezbollah rather than Al Qaida doesn't matter, no one on TV will explain who is actually being bombed.
why explain assholes anything?
My wife went to meeting the other day there was a quizz asking in which country Babylon would be, nobody could answer to my amazement...
Ghee, I wonder if "Numb Nuts" will mention this in his SOTU Campaign speech tonight? Why anyone would waste 1 minute of their lives to listen to this Buffoon is mind boggling to me...
Whoa, dude! He's gonna speak for more than 1 minute?
the "uh"s and "umm"s take up lots of time brother...
You may try to ignore him but his plans won't ignore you, I fear.
Where Russian Federation and Al Qaeda/ISIS/ISL finally intersect?!!!
Will the "Brain Fart-in-Chief" announce in the State of the Union that Russia is now officially with the terrorists?
Them Zionist Yids got Chutzpah!
http://rt.com/news/224459-france-planned-attack-russians/
got to have that jew angle in ther don't ya
you got it all figured out?
Just like the Sultan on the old Johnny Carson shows...Karmak. Did you know that Karmak was really a Jew? Part of the ZWO...the Zionist World Order, which is the politically correct terminology when referring to the real thing: The "Jew" World Order. And thems Ruskies on the Ukraine border...Jooooooz. Cuz you know Putin is awesome, and a country that has never repented it's 20 million+ murdered citizens would NEVER EVER lie to anyone!
Listen if you don't know anything then shut up bengaluroo cunt .
Obama's middle east policies have given us, Libya, Syria, Yemen, ISIS, Iraq and a whole lot worse. How do we allow the same President, State Department, and CIA operatives to run US foreign policy. Complete and utter failure, YET not one man has been fired! Not ONE.
I said before, and say again. The United States of America has become a nation that rewards failure above all else.
First, these aren't the president's policies, but his bosses. All the presidents learn that they aren't in control, but can feel like they are, as long as they do as directed, not 'told', as that is so non-PC, and puppet masters like to keep their puppets happy, which is why they are sent off on vacation so often... just gaze back over the years and see the same pattern. Obama's parents were CIA NGO based (mother) and CIA corporate based (father), which isn't too much different than the Bush clan, the Clintons et al... since Ike's handlers (Prescott Bush and friends) directed him to allow the Dulles brothers to setup shop... something the Kennedy's didn't seem to approve of, along with the infamous JDgar Hoover's FBI lack of seeing any mob activity, similar to the CIA's oversight of the FBI now... same pattern. They all work for the same oligarchy, who control the entire show, from mainstream media to banks, social media and all these GLADIO B TEAM activities in the ME... different strokes for different folks, as outside of the continuation of TEAM A's activity in Ukraine, most of that activity of maintanence of the public order thru false flag op terrorism has been turned over to NATO oversight.
Failure is in the eye of the beholder, like love, for some perfer to rape little children, and most of them also like to be in politics, mass media, the church etc.. positions of power so that their ego feels all warm and wonderful. The entire GLADIO program is full of these psychopaths, which follows a pattern best described perhaps in POLITICAL PONEROLOGY, who witnessed it first hand by first the Nazis and then the COmmunists that followed, and now here in the States, we can get a feel of what life will be like in the NWO, something most black, brown and red communities have experienced all their lives. Aren't we lucky? The question is the same as the Kennedy's faced: Do we make a stand? If so, how and when? They learned too late, that the entire game is rigged against any so-called 'reformer', same as Ron Paul's lesson in presidental election campaigning... it's all rigged to keep the truth deep down in that basement in Omelas, for how else can the rest of us live so blindly and happily here in Purgatory?
"Oh Lord" "Please deliver unto Saudi Arabia an Arab Spring of epic scale" "Let all hell descend onto earth's primary hell hole of terrorists" "Let that old fucking King be strangled in his sick bed"
This game of charades is getting really old...
and another one's down,
and another one's gone,
and another one bites the dust
The dominoes they are a fallin' !
Saudi Arabia has to be getting nervous at stories like this. Maybe they can also build a 1000 mile fence in that direction too.
Two things that will tell me the END is at hand.
1. Saudi Arabia falls or
2. ZH goes 404 for more than 2 hours.
Why can't there even be a consensus what to call this lot of crazed killer? ISIS, IS, ISIL, plus the actual arab names.
The funniest part is when from one day to the next the name 'changes' for unkown reasons. Like when ISIS became IS in the States.
What's the difference?
I always laugh at our commander and chiefs remarks about how we will control real estate with drones and aircraft. One commenter won the prize for me. A strong president would not be in Yemen or Somalia. Salute. Right now our administrations is enthralled with new toys the MIC comes up with. But at the end of the day it takes troops on the ground to control real estate. No matter how they word it. I am not for sending in troops do not take what I typed wrong.
Right now the air force and navy get most of the money while the arym and marines get the left overs. No amount of bombs or drones will control real estate period.
GCT your intentions are admirable. Control isn't about (2) guys shooting at eachother.
Thankfully you're understanding the intrepretation of control at much younger age than I did.
I was too busy starting businesess, and paying taxes to send fine young men like yourself off to fight wars for some really bad people that I don't even know.
That my young friend, is how you're deceived. The Interwebs weren't readily available in those days.
Some folks fooked our partners... send in another 2 dozen advisors. LMAO!
LOL. Saudi is the key supported of the petrodollar. If Saudi falls, so does America.
Do they have a central bank/gold vault? Do the local "militiamen" know where that is? How to send them a map if not?
