Obama just put the gay agenda on the table at West Point.

Obama is also guilty of attempting to weaken our military by such actions as defunding the development of the F-35 fighter jet and shutting down our NASA space exploration program. As I’ve explained in chapter 4, he’s banking on the debt ceiling junta not being able to find the necessary budget cuts so that the automatic cuts to the military of $600 billion kick in, guaranteeing that our military is further weakened.
50
He’s bowed to Chinese pressure and agreed to cut weapons sales to our ally Taiwan at a loss of more than 16,000 jobs and nearly $800 million in revenues for the U.S.
51

He’s guilty of perpetuating the lie that there can actually be anything resembling “free and fair” elections in Middle Eastern countries when he knows, as the rest of us know, that a free election is an open invitation to the Muslim Brotherhood and other radical Islamist groups to intimidate the population and take over control of countries in turmoil. The invitation to hold “free elections” in Middle Eastern countries with no history of democracy and no democratic infrastructure or culture in place is nothing less than a naïve invitation to Islamist radicals to step in. The transition from a feudal Islamist theocracy to a modern democracy must be made very gradually, if it can be made at all. People with no history of establishing and maintaining democratic institutions must be led into their formation.

The Obama administration has no intention of leading that process. In fact, as I’ll explain to you in the next chapter, Obama has reversed American foreign policy completely. Countries who have been our traditional allies we now treat as enemies, while those who have been our enemies are now our new friends.

Chapter 8
Tyranny of Treating Our Friends Like Enemies and Our Enemies Like Friends

In the 1950s, when I was growing up, they were called eggheads. Today they’re called nerds. We’re all familiar with them. They’ve got an excess of IQ and a shortage of testosterone. They spend most of their lives inside the academic incubator with no real-world experience. They’ve never met a payroll or responded to anything more urgent than a fire drill, and they’ve never dealt with anyone who challenged their leftist politics.

After they graduate, they shuffle from campus to Washington and back. They’re our cabinet secretaries, ambassadors, and presidential advisors. They bring along a “globalist” perspective that is an absolute danger to the United States’ position of economic and military supremacy in the world. Beatle John Lennon called them “college pudding.” It’s these people who advise Obama on how to conduct his foreign policy.

In the previous chapter I told you about how they decided which wars we would fight and which ones we would ignore based on the “responsibility to protect” doctrine. Now I’m going to tell you about how they decide which dictators to support and which to oust.

These Ivy Leaguers, especially President Obama, have trouble telling our friends from our enemies. They tend to get it all backwards—more

. They ignore or attack our old friends and give aid and comfort to our former enemies and eventually hope to get them to switch places.

The “Soros Doctrine” in the Middle East

I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard the phrase “international community” used by the Obama administration. The reason is that the term is code for “global government.”

The intern
a-a-a-a
tional community. You have to make it sound like the bleating of a sheep when you say it, because that’s how the people who are pushing for global government view everyone else on the planet. As sheep.

Global government is nothing more than warmed-over Marxist-Leninist communism on a planetary scale.

Did you think that what happened all over the Middle East during the “Arab Spring”—which has now become the “Arab Winter”—was somehow a spontaneous uprising of freedom-loving young people wearing blue jeans and carrying cell phones and determined to promote democratic government in their countries?

In fact, the whole situation has been carefully orchestrated from behind the scenes by George Soros, the same man who helped engineer Barack Obama’s rise to power in the United States.

It starts with the fact that America is a rudderless, leaderless nation. Weak, inexperienced leaders like Barack Obama are easy prey for international power brokers like Soros. I explained in
Trickle Up Poverty
how Soros was instrumental in bringing about Obama’s election by working to cause the financial meltdown that enabled Obama to win. Obama had been behind in all the polls up to the time of the September 2008, financial crash, but he never trailed after it.
1

Soros’s influence didn’t stop with getting a malleable schoolboy elected president. It continued to significantly affect the president’s foreign policy, from the fact that we now treat our friends like enemies and our enemies like friends, right down to how the administration conducted the war in Libya.

It means that everything is upside down and backwards in Obama’s foreign policy, just like George Soros wants it to be.

I’ll make it very simple for you. The Obama foreign policy can be summed up like this: Treat your sworn enemies like friends and your longtime friends like enemies. It’s the Ivy League way.

When a genuine democratic uprising against an illegally elected Islamist government in Iran began in 2009, Obama stood mute as Iranians were murdered by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s military in order to quell the uprising. Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky called Obama’s inaction “maybe one of the biggest betrayals of people’s freedom in modern history. . . . At the moment when millions were deciding whether to go to the barricades, the leader of the free world said ‘For us, the most important thing is engagement with the regime, so we don’t want a change of regime.’ ”

After Syria’s Iranian puppet dictator Bashar al-Assad’s forces had attacked and killed dozens of unarmed citizens as they protested against his regime,
3
Hillary Clinton praised him as a “reformer.”
4

In other words, if you’re an ally of Iran and committed to the destruction of Israel and to the establishment of a new caliphate in the Middle East headed by a nuclear Iran, you’ve got U.S. backing.

It didn’t stop with Syria.

Tunisian dictator Zine El Abedine Ben Ali had throughout his 23-year dictatorial reign been an ally of the United States and an enemy of Islamic militant groups. Protesters forced him to step down in January 2011, despite the fact that he had said he would not run for another term in Tunisia’s 2014 elections. Again, dozens of people were killed in clashes with police in Tunisia without our feeling the need to step in. As one journalist noted, “Not one word of condemnation, not one word of criticism, not one word urging restraint came from Barack Obama or Hilary Clinton as live ammunition was fired into crowds of unarmed men, women, and children.”
5

And not one word of support for Hosni Mubarak, a Middle Eastern ruler who had kept Islamist radicals under control, was ever uttered by anyone in the Obama administration.

From the shameful Middle Eastern apology tour early in his administration to his selective support of radical Islamist dictators, Obama has made it clear whose side he’s on.

In the spring of 2011, I explained in an article I wrote and posted on my website exactly what would happen as a result of the uprisings across the Arab world: Radical Muslim governments, with the support of George Soros and other anti-Western ideologues, would emerge where leaders had been ousted.

As I predicted, that is happening.

The war in Libya and the U.S. decision to commit resources to the ouster of Libyan dictator Moammar Ghadafi came during a time when the Middle East was in chaos, with “Arab Spring” uprisings against dictatorial governments happening in nearly a dozen countries. Obama’s response to the uprisings reflected a disturbing trend, a pattern that’s becoming apparent in the selective way he goes after Middle Eastern tyrants.

Every single one of the dictators the Obama administration has actively targeted for overthrow has been a U.S. ally.

Every one of the dictators Obama has refused to confront is the head of an Islamist regime that is hostile to the United States.

Do you realize that Obama’s sympathy with the Islamist cause is so strong and pervasive that Congress had to pass a law banning the administration from further dealings with groups known to have ties to Islamist terrorists? In the continuing resolution passed in November 2011 that extended the government’s ability to keep spending, there was a paragraph that prohibited “any formal non-investigative cooperation with unindicted co-conspirators in terrorism cases.”
6
It forbids Obama from any further association with Islamist radicals out to destroy America.

It’s easy to understand why this was necessary. The Islamist sympathizer in the White House began to tip his hand as the chaos in the Middle East spread. Let’s take a Savage tour through the world and meet our new friends and new enemies.

Egypt

Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak had long been a U.S. ally and had kept the radical Muslim Brotherhood out of power for more than 40 years prior to Obama’s intervention. The president suddenly insisted at the beginning of February 2011 that a transition to
democratic
government in Egypt “must be meaningful, it must be peaceful, and it must begin now.”
7

With that absurd statement—the idea that transitions of power in the Middle East could be peaceful and could result in democratic governments—Obama revealed one of two things: Either he and his Ivory Tower advisors are hopelessly naïve regarding what’s going on, or he is secretly on the side of Muslim radicals and believes that the overthrow of our allies will hasten their rise to power.

Less than two weeks after Obama made his mincing declaration that Mubarak must go, his Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, claimed that the Muslim Brotherhood was “largely secular.” Within hours, the administration refuted Clapper’s absurd claim, reinforcing the fact that its foreign policy is chaotic at best, subversive at worst.
8

In addition to revealing the administration’s ineptitude, its positions with regard to Egypt helped reveal where Obama really stands: firmly against a strong ally of the United States and Israel. While the Mubarak regime was dictatorial, it did maintain order in the streets and suppress Islamist radicals. It also maintained peace with Israel.

Within a matter of weeks, Mubarak stepped down. As the left-wing press and the Obama administration were congratulating themselves on ousting Mubarak, and the Muslim Brotherhood was moving toward taking over Egypt,
9
the Egyptian military stepped in and took charge.

If you didn’t see what was coming, let me explain it to you.

As I told you in the previous chapter, Obama is an avowed anti-Semite. He’s pro-Muslim, anti-Judaism. He’s also anti-Christian, and his ongoing attack on Christianity is not confined to the United States. His support of the ouster of Mubarak—under whom Coptic Christians were allowed to worship in peace—has led to the rise of violence toward Christians by Muslims.

In October 2011, 26 Coptic Christians were killed and hundreds more wounded in attacks by the Egyptian military. The attack occurred as Christian groups marched through Cairo in protest against the burnings of their churches. Egyptian Muslims pelted them with rocks as they moved along, and by the time they had reached their destination at a radio and TV broadcasting facility, the army started shooting into the crowd and trying to run over the protesters with their vehicles. Observers predicted that the event would cause a massive emigration of Christians from Egypt.
10

Obama’s response left me disgusted. In the wake of the murder of more than two dozen unarmed Christians by the Egyptian military, the president called on
Christians
to show restraint!

How were they supposed to do that? By allowing more of their brethren to be murdered by the military?

The president continued: “Now is the time for restraint on all sides so that Egyptians can move forward together to forge a strong and united Egypt.” The loss of life was “tragic,” but Christians need to put it behind them?
11

No international sanction against the Egyptian military?

No condemnation of an obvious hate crime against Christians?

No withdrawing of U.S. foreign aid from Egypt?

Don’t tell me Obama didn’t know something like this would happen.

After Mubarak’s ouster, the Egyptian military demonstrated that it was incapable of maintaining order. Reports began to emerge out of Egypt that indicated there were no police on the streets in Cairo and other cities. Coptic Christians, who make up about ten percent of Egypt’s population, were clashing with Muslims, and the result was extensive casualties. Ambulances were nowhere to be seen, and the wounded were transported to medical facilities in garbage trucks. Roadblocks were frequently set up, not by the government, but by lawless thugs who stopped traffic and stole valuables from the occupants of the automobiles they detained. Without a functioning police force, vigilante groups sprang up, taking the law into their own hands.
12
Reports also surfaced that the Egyptian army was partnering with the Muslim Brotherhood to perform “virginity tests” on women who protested in Tahrir Square.
