War by Proxy.

The Syrian Government's use of chemical weapons which resulted in just over 120 deaths was said to be a red line not to cross. With the crossing of that line the Obama's administration is being challenged with what to do.

Since leading from behind has been Obama's mantra, the U.S. involvement with the Syrian rebels is coming to late in the game to make a real difference and is very limited as to a productive resolution.

The release of information related to the chemical weapons investigation by the Obama administration is well timed to the increase of president Bashar Al-Assad support from Hezbollah, Iran and Russia. The recent losses by the Syrian rebels appear to be spurring the increase of lethal aid more than the conformation of chemical weapons being used.

The loss of 90,000 + lives in the last two years of this ongoing civil war is a test to humanity. Is our involvement going to lessen the possible death total or increase it?

Is giving arms to a failing rebellion the right thing to do, or should a lot more time be spent on diplomacy with Russia?

By supporting the rebels are we creating the same situation as we did in Afghanistan during the Russian occupation? (The CIA trained Osama Bin Laden)

Having a Nobel Peace Prize recipient for a President should give the U.S. the upper hand on how to deal with this ongoing civil war. However President Obama's style of “leading from behind” is not a calculated method. It' is out of necessity as he has no clue how to lead. Which beckons the question, who is running the White House?

Sent. McCain met with some of the anti Al-Assad fighters and from that short meeting are we as Americans suppose to feel better about giving weapons to terrorist turned rebels?

Since Obama is such a weak leader is this going to be McCain's war?

Who can we trust?

The irony of The U.S. Government funding the Syrian rebels is that Russia is the biggest supplier of ammunition to the American public, who's grown wary of the scandal ridden overreaching of the Obama administration.

Data the New Gold in Mining

The latest term that's hit the electron highway is Data Mining. This is not some method of retrieving a rare material that will save the world from climate change, it's information that's a click away.

The eyes being the window to your soul. Now, your finger opens the door to your personal life. With every click of the mouse you are telling the world everything about you. Anyone can find almost everything, your personality, level of income, religion, political affiliation, health care needs and every tawdry tidbit of dirty laundry you try to hide in the basket of your mind.

Market research has been used since the invention of the wheel. Knowing what your audience wants before they want it is now the pursuit of mathematicians using algorithms with super computers that makes data out of data to predict the next trend.

As you surf your Face Book page the amount of data you produce fills columns of useful information, not just clicks on clever phrases or products but how long your curser hovered over it, is data. How fast you scroll through a page can show your interest in a product but also your education level.

The amount of data available is generated by what we do and by what we don't do.

Seeing the power of data is to simply open your eyes. It's everywhere and in everything, as if the matrix is alive and well and we’re in it.

With the blessing of the Obama administration the NSA has been fishing for data to analyze, of course all under the guise of national security. By understanding you don't need to know the content of a conversation to know what's being said.

You just need to know the conversation took place in order to paint a picture of whats trending.

As we interact with all of our technology, our activity's create patterns in the streams of data that the government is collecting. That data is compared with known patterns of activity's by terrorist in order to locate possible breeches in future security.

The question has become what activity's does the Obama Administration now consider security issues?

People are predictable even when erratic. This predictability equates into probability’s that provide the knowledge to which evil men can rule over others.

Market research or data mining is spying, it's all a matter of how it's done and for what purpose will determine whether it's legal.

Something for my audience to ponder.....When calculating an enemy's troop strength you don't need to photograph the troops to know how many are there. You just need to know how many latrines where dug.

How to Fight Terrorist

The war on terrorism cannot be won until we identify what is the enemy.

The modern definition of the word terrorist is vague. The term terrorism comes from the French “terrorisme”, or Latin: terror. “There is neither an academic nor international consensus regarding the definition of the term terrorism” “ These difficulties arise from the fact that the term “terrorism” is politically and emotionally charged”

Terrorism is not an ideal, a political philosophy, or religious value it is a tactic of war. This tactic has been used in every war and in every battle since the beginning of time and it is the psychology of war.

During the Revolutionary War, frontiersman with Kentucky rifles used the concealment of the forest to fire upon English officers.

At a time when army's fired volley's from muskets at each other with mere yards between them, the killing of an officer by a hidden sniper was considered a terrorist act by a gorilla fighter, as if war was to be fought by gentlemen.

The psychology of that simple act changed many battles. Using terror as a battle tactic is quiet useful when you’re faced with an enemy that's much larger than your self.

The people driven to acts of terrorism today don't seam to have a clear agenda, other than to punish those they wish to condemn.

What is it about America that they so despise?

Is it our freedom they don't like?

To be able to comment about our country's leaders?

To go to a bar and have a drink ?

To be enticed by the beauty of a woman?

To live in a society where women have a voice?

To freely choose a religion that you want to follow?

Is it easier to blame our society other than to take personal responsibility for they're own failings? A Christian seeks forgiveness of sins, not to blame another person for his own.

The psychology of a rifle bore that's been greased with the tallow of swine goes a long way when fighting against a belief.

Terrorism being an act of war and to terrorize is horrifying. What would be more horrific than knowing your going to hell?

                     “The only way to know if the war on terror is over

                       is when all of your rights are restored.”
