Azerbaijan Feels Threatened...

The Perspective: We all remember when Russia attacked its small southern neighbor of Georgia right? It wasn't pretty, it was a complete embarrassment. Not just for Georgia but for its main supporter The United States.

For the first time in almost 20 years, we were hopeless and unhelpful in preventing 'The Bear' from attacking a nation. 'The Eagle' was beaten, and battered. And a little scared. So how does Azerbaijan work into all this? Pretty simple.

They feel that they are the next Georgia.

Ever since they got their independence from the Soviet Union when they collapsed they have done a balancing act between supporting the west and their northern neighbor, Russia. They took NATO support, but never have shown interest in joining. They allow U.S planes to land and refuel, but U.S. troops can't be stationed on their land.

The most important thing in all of this, is the pipeline they have that runs from the Caspian Sea up toward Russia and that breaks off and links to the one that goes through Georgia and supplies most of the oil to Europe.

In case you don't know, Russia attacked Georgia for two reasons. They didn't want Georgia in NATO, and two they wanted to control the oil that Georgia supplied to Europe. Remember Russia's oil company is nationalized. The government controls all oil, that Russia themselves produces.(Gazpcom in case your interested in the name) No private business.(Thank Putin for that....)

So if your Azerbaijan what do you do? Do you continue to try to play the balancing act between the west and the north or try something else? Something else is more likely. And its pretty simple.

The chess board has tipped. Its no longer possible to help both sides, its one side or the other. And boys and girls, it didn't tip in America's favor. Hell no, nowhere near it. 'The Bear' has a death grip upon its former Soviet States. Go ahead argue with me. You won't win. Find me one instance where they can't just squash any of their former Soviet States.

And lets not forget who borders Azerbaijan to the south...good ol' Iran. Looks like a bad place to be in my book.

Slow news day...

The Perspective: Its a slow news day so I'll just talk about a few things that seem to be bothering everyone...everywhere.

First off lets talk about this election. To my readers, the ones who live in the United States tell me have you made your decision on who your voting for?(I'd like to know e-mail me at captaincgray@yahoo.com with your answer) Or are you one of the now 9% who are still undecided?

For me, as most of you know I support McCain. But I don't go without any issues. I don't think either of the candidates deserve to be President. They both stink, it'll just be the same shit we've had for the last 8 years because of Congress.(but lets not get into that today)

We've got 12 more days of this useless shit to listen to and then its over.(I know I'm kidding myself it'll never be over) Does it matter who wins...not really. Do I care who wins? Of course I do. And its all for the right reasons.

They say this is the most important election in our generation...it isn't. Its just blown out of proportion because an African-American might win. In America, and most of the modern western world thats unheard of.

Will Obama or McCain do what they say? Maybe, but its highly unlikely. They just don't have the 'fuck government I work for the people and no one else' mentality that Reagan had that made him so fucking good.

So come the next 12 days, hunker down and just watch out for the exit polls...God knows that'll be the most dangerous thing flying around November 4th.

Second: The Economy
How many of my readers have been laid off due to this Recession were in?(There I said it happy?) What have you had to cut back on to get by? And what do you think is the right thing to do, to make this economy work?(e-mail me, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the subject.

Me? Hell. All is good here so far. Certain things in the markets are worrying me, but right I now I'm o.k.

But lets just say, this isn't the worse part of it. The worst is yet to come. But things will get better as Alan Greenspan said today. Just hang in there. America and the world will get through this.

The bailout plan, is not the answer. Use that 700 billion to create jobs. Fuck buying out banks, and companies. That is not democracy. Thats socialism. That is bordering on communism. And no one wants that now do we?

We needed to do what FDR did. Create something similar to his new deal package that allowed to government to create jobs and lower the unemployment rate. We need to extend unemployment benefits and stop taxing them. The people on unemployment need every cent that they can get.

Let the banks fail. Its their own fault. Third we need to repeal the bill Congress(pattern huh?) passed in the 70's that forced banks to give loans to 'risky people' so they could have home. This is what caused this crazy fucking mess we're in now. So what you can't own a house.

Lifes' A Bitch. Get the fuck over it...live in an apartment or townhouse. Hell buy a Condo.

And one final thing...stop living off the government. Get off your lazy asses and get job.

Small Tidbit on Israel and Russia today

From Interfax News Agency with a few parts added by me.

"Libya may agree to buy more than $2 billion worth of Russian weapons during a visit by Muammar Gaddafi to Moscow this month, Interfax news agency reported on Monday." The Israeli media immediately picked up on the reports. Given Libya's historic enmiity towards Israel, there is a very real concern that should Libya receive billions of dollars of advanced new weaponry from Moscow, those arms could eventually be turned against the Jewish State. There are also prophetic implications. The "War of Gog and Magog" described in Ezekiel 38-39 involves a military alliance between Russia, Iran, Libya and a group of other Middle Eastern countries that surround and seek to destroy Israel in "the last days" after Israel has been reborn as a country and Jews have returned en masse to the Holy Land. A development worth watching closely.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Perspective: As most of my readers know, I'm s strong supporter of Israel. I've sent care packages to Israel through the Joshua Fund and have planned to do their over this coming summer. Theses types of news reports mean a lot to me and in my opinion should be a lot to you. No matter what your religion is.

If you've read my earlier posts, you know about The "War Of Gog and Magog" and what I believe.(its under the September 21-28 archive) I recommend that you read that first before finishing reading this.

So, Russia has already allied themselves with Iran, Lebanon, Syria and Venezuela. So lets factor in Libya. Another middle eastern nation who historically has hated Israel. They have numerous times talked about attacking Israel.(no where near as threating as Iran though)

We must then factor in this possible arms deal that both Syria and Lebanon have already agreed to and accepted the firearms(mostly AK-101's but it also includes RPK's and RPG's of many types new and old) and war machines(APC's, Tanks) that Russia is offering. This would allow Russia to begin massing a large military force to use against Israel.

We can't let this happen. As a Christian and as a supporter of Israel. Being a United States Citizen, we need to make our government take action against mostly Syria, Lebanon and of course Iran. We can't let them get the nuclear weapon.

Using our own Nuclear weapons is and must stay on a worse case basis. Sadly this may be that worse case. Iran is a very dangerous nation....if they got their hands on a nuclear or chemical weapon the actions of Iran could be earth shattering.

We must protect Israel. Join the Joshua Fund today at http://www.joshuafund.net/.

Thank You.

Greedy Oil Rich Nations...

The Perspective:

If you don't know I'll tell you. OPEC met today and plans to lower the production of oil. This is so they can get their precious oil profits.

If you haven't noticed(if you haven't you've been sleeping in a cave) the price of gas has fallen greatly over the last few months and so has the price of oil. Its down from the record high of 147 to around 70 dollars a barrel.

While this is good for us, its not good for the Big Oil Companies and this is from their point of view.

Fuck their point of view. Big Oil is a serious issues.

Saudi Arabia was the not leading nation who pressed for limits on production. Guess who it was.

Russia. Figures right? Can Putin do just one thing that benefits the world and not just himself...hell no.

But where they alone...of course not. Who else was pushing for lower production. Iran and Venezuela. Seems odd that the worlds most dangerous alliance all pushed for lower production at the same time. A

And worst of all...no one else did.

So what does this mean. It means only one thing.

Russia, Iran and Venezuela all have some kind of agenda. And it won't be good for the world. They need money for this...and oil as always is good money and its makes it quick.

Just keep an eye out...as I've mentioned before. Russia, Iran and Venezuela all deserve a close look...for many years to come.

Did Family Guy Go To Far?

In the episode, two of the characters, Stewie (a talking baby) and Brian (a talking dog) are transported to Poland during the Nazi invasion of World War II. In one scene, the characters beat up and steal the uniforms of two Nazi officers. Stewie looks down at his Nazi uniform and notices a McCain/Palin campaign button attached to its lapel, remarking “Huh, that’s weird."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Perspective: O.K. well I've posted the video so watch it before you continue reading and decide what you think. But heres my take.

No, they didn't and they never really did. The only people who think that they did are the ones who are fucking narrow minded fools who are Super McCain supporters. This type of thing is protected under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Quit fucking complaining.

Seth MacFarlane the creator of the show is an avid supporter of Obama as is most of Hollywood so why wouldn't he express his feelings for what John McCain stands for, while still making it funny. Thats right...I a John McCain supporter thought that it was funny as hell and will watch it again and again.

Pretty good I say, and hell everybody loves a good laugh.
