In the past hour several video clips have emerged from Mali, showing the tense situation where an estimated 10 gunmen, according to AFP, have taken dozen of hostages and where Mali, French and US special forces are now engaging the hostage takers.
Here are some of the released video clips:

More I$I$ madness spelling the end of the Saudi Mercan IOU petroscrip dollah.
US Special Forces going in?! What, does 'Murka have troops in, like, every country or something?
Blowback times are here again. This situation is not dissimilar to that time when a bunch of friendly young men marched into a little town and demanded that some weapons be turned over. A few shots were exchanged and then, my oh my, the red jackets on those young men sure made them tempting targets as they hurried back to their base.

More punishment for France for recognizing Palestine?
As usual, Tom Clancy wrote about this almost two decades ago in his book Rainbow Six, about an elite anti-terrorist team that deals with hostage-taking and terrorism attacks all over the world. He also wrote about how a jumbo jet crashed into congress in Debt of Honor, or how terrorists would shoot up shopping malls, use biological agents, or crash the stock market (which has yet to come true, but likely will.)
The political winds are turning putrid, so Barry is gon' be standing with the muslims. He said so in the book he (read Bill Ayers) wrote.
I despise Barry Obola, but it seems that quote is a widely circulated myth:

Okay, it was on page 261 in The Audacity Of Hope which Ayers probably also wrote. Is that better? Regardless, he is an Islam loving, communist, homosexual, illegal alien hell bent on destroying everything the Founding Fathers fought for. Despite the doom and gloom here and elsewhere, it is NOT too late to save this country.http://kdminer.com/main.asp?SectionID=109&SubsectionID=1013&ArticleID=57...
Take a look at my link. I'm not gonna read Barry's fucking propaganda rag in full, but the full quote makes him sound like a heroically decent man (!!):
Of course, those who feel fine about Japanese-American interments and revocation of civil rights for targeted groups of citizens will miss the basic thrust of the statement. He's posing unambiguously here as a defender of the constitutional civil rights of all citizens, however.
Of course, it's pure bullshit. Just like the patriots of the "Liberty Movement," he ignored Stop And Frisk against brown people in NYC, for example. Then there's all the innocent brown people he's killed in the ME. What a lying psychopathic POS.
Obama has done enough wrong (IMHO) to be impeached, arrested, and served upon a silver platter to The Hague (if there's anything left after we are through with him).
But make-believe, imaginary "evidence" of wrongdoing makes us ALL look like assholes! In fact, it totally undermines any legitimate case or grievances that we may hold against the man, and in so, doing him and his supporters a huge favor.
Fuck these assholes who say he's someking of muslim, Indonesian/Kenyan infiltrator: he's an American, an American who's done wrong, and one who should be held to account for his crimes against us and our nation!
Prove it! You don't KNOW anything about his past. Show us the original paper birth certificate. Show us a legitimate, non-fraudulent SS#. Show us DNA evidence that proves Stanley and Barack Sr. are his biological parents. You can't.
Nice. Require all USAns, convicted felons or not, to submit to DNA tests for government/public scrutiny... Post our social security numbers online and enable even more identity-theft... "Ihre papiers bitte!"
Your quest and gravatation towards authority is typical for a birther. What do Hannity and Limbaugh say about cleaning-up Wall Street? 9/11? Getting big-money out of politics? Accountability for launching of illegal wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lybia, and Syria? Our support for Al Quaeda/ISIS? Not too much, huh?
Your birther-garbage is just distraction from real issues, and you serve your masters well.
LOOK-- SQUIRREL!!!
Or maybe we should simply require any potential COMMANDER IN FUCKING CHIEF submit to all those things if he wants to assume power and rule the world...
You're seriously complaining about someone gravitating toward authority, when the person he proposes subjecting to said authority is the one most willing and able to wield it over us?
Typical leftist bullshit attempt to muddy the waters while simultaneously enganging in some blind, twisted hero worship.
Try again son, we aint buying here.
Submit to whom?
This birther-bullshit is muddying the waters, and distracting the public from looking seriously at real issues, including the one you yourself alluded to: executive over-reach. Add separation-of-powers to the list while we are at it. Bush tortured "suspected terrorists" while Obama merely executes them (and for each, at least 9 innocent civilians).
And you're trying to instill that old left/right divide cannard?
Go back to Drudge, fool. Whoops! I mean "tool." (That or a useful idiot)
Barry Soetero sez, 'Murka, put on yer burka!
What are we supposed to believe today? I haven't checked Sky news yet.
Shoot the hostage.
Another skirmish paid for by oil companies, who are bankrolled by joobuxx that the FED supplies
but the most important thing to ask is , Why are US boots and equipment stationed on the ground in Mali available for immediate use? Did Congress approve this?
Been Stealing gold mines? Because its not to fight terror. Nevermind, I already knew they were there and the answer, you wonder why it will come home to roost. Your welcome Paris. The butchering of an entire continent and the Muslims for over a century by coloninal powers.
Wanna know who the original head choppers were? WHY IT WAS YOU FRANCE and about 5 of your innocent neighbors. You want to hear a REAL terrorist story just pick up any page of African history. And you wonder why they are now radicalized. You kill 2 million in Iraq alone and drone weddings without regard for a decade and are still strip mining it in almost every African country to this day.
Enjoy your cake.

Yes, the poor innocent fundamental Islamists
It is always somebody elses fault.
The West has slaughteed them by the millions for centuries. They have no choice but to hate your guts. They don't have cruise missiles so they have to use themselves but to fight back they will. Americans don't ever learn anything about what happened in African history. IT is still happening in almost every African country, strip mining resources as todays story shows JUST ONE, with a total disregard for life. Terriorist attack in Lebanon the day before Paris. NOT A PEEP. Thirty people died the next day after Paris in the next country over in Nigeria and it did not even make the back page of the news, but Im suppossed to feel appalled at one in fFrance? Oh My the city of Love. They go off almost every day now somewhere.
Sorry mate its just the end product that your not going to be happy with and I am not either but at least I know why.
The world needs to drop the charade and start helping Putin put this down NOW. It will take years as it is, but first you have to quit creating and feeding it.
Don't forget, the worst attrocity of all -
A CARTOON!!!!
Apparently we haven't killed nearly enough of these fuckers and we need to get the body counts way up to make progress.
Civilization has no choice but to get this genie back in the bottle somehow. Its not just going away because you wish it so at this point. Its not going to be pretty either way.
President al-Assad: "Terrorism will not stop here, it will export itself through illegal immigration into Europe"
or this
Dr Bashar Assad. "Terrorism is not a card you play and put back in your pocket. Like a scorpion it stings you at any time."
Sorry about the link above, guy put up another article.
This is the original headchoppers and this is just one countries story. There are many many others just like it. What no one wants to admit. It is uncomforting

Funny, Western media are virtually quiet on this one. I don't have to tell anyone how different that would be if this were happening in a western country. But, hey, these are brown people, right? Westerners don't much give a shit.
This obvious fact is not lost on the brown world. How easy that makes it to recruit jihadis.
Blacks killing Blacks is not news to the main stream media. It doesn't fit their narrative.
Blacks killing blacks is not news. Period.
White Western militaries killing millions of brown and black people don't pull much real interest either. Guess it's just that insanely unthinkable time when the shoe is on the other foot that matters.

I think you're reachin'.
French people are feeling quite helpless at the terror attacks in Paris. Most of them have no idea which way they should be retreating.
Happily for the US the "monkeys" didn’t surrender at Chesapeake and Yorktown! The USA wouldn’t exist then …
Dirka, dirka! Mohammed jihad!
The run-up to WWIII is an appropriate time as any.
We all have reality filters (similar to frames of reference but implies more formatting) that we acquire and then sink into our subconscious. A person will gravitate to filters that are compatible with their own. It is difficult to detect ones own filters for self explanatory reasons. The best route to detecting your filters is most likely to detect and observe the filters of others, watching how they operate and observing how their filters limit their awareness.
You cannot destroy your RF as they provide the necessary scaffolding for how we learn. What you can do is identify them, monitor and continue to add good data so that they become more pliable. It is obvious that reality filters skew results, are unempowering and often originate from outside ones self (my filter). The debate and rhetoric occuring during this run-up to WWIII may provide a good opportunity to observe RFs and contemplate their consequences.
I admittedly have a giant corruption/conspiracy filter that subconsciously kicks in and runs new current event data through my "what are these corrupt motherfuckers up to now and how does this fit their evil plans" filter. Some filters I have detected in others (always easier) include:
"Muslims have always been a problem there is something inherently wrong with them or their religion" (this implies that acton should be taken and provides justification for WWIII in my opinion).
"Christians are at risk of being wiped out by the Muslim faith" (ditto)
"Large gov is the only viable protection from the predatory interests out there" (calls for strengthening and consolidating state power)
I am not saying that these filters are wrong as no filters are always wrong. I am saying that it may pay to check the filters you are running with and contemplate what agenda outside of ones self may be benefitting. We really don't want to be n the wrong side of this one.
