The Dangers of Obama's Nuclear Disarmament Promise

Back to blog

a quick point... The President could possibly serve for 8 years... if he wants to be elected to a second term.. he has be careful what problems he goes after in his first term. When he is sworn in to his first term he boards a ship of state that is already on a course and with years of previous inertia...
how many battles does he address in his first term, how strong a fight does he put on... he tries to get as much done as possible without kicking the hornet's nest... his second term.. he will have much more power.... that is what the neoCons and zionist fear and why they want him out... sociopaths hate conscience..
he picked his first term battles... and some issues he went along toge along... saving these issues for his second term... where he can afford to be more powerful....
the DC status quo.... swept obama along for a while... he picked his first term fights.. and had to put others of to his second term..
Obama is a good man. America has a GREAT PRESIDENT with Obama. I like his character... a lot!

facts about sociopaths,,,,
1 out 25 are born with a genetic pathology, a sickness, a disease called sociopathy. Their entire life they will not be able to form a fully functioning humane conscience. There is no treatment. They are without conscience their entire life. They are often diagnosed as anti-social personality disorder. They will disrupt every social relationship in which they participate. From friendships, marriages, social networks and social systems.. They often use unconscionable tactics to accomplish unconscionable agenda. The often lack empathy, sympathy, are self centered and narcissistic. Their problem is psycho-social pathology. The brain is not wired for a conscience... it can clearly be seen in a comparative Functional MRI scan... 1 out of 25 will present a major brain storm going of in their head during a moral ethical challenge... it will take a longer time for them to process a moral or ethical dilemma...
They will be able to hide their sociopathy from those who only briefly know them.. but over time, observing them their sociopathy will become obvious..
Tactics they use often to manipulate and accomplish unconscionable agenda include. Purposeful misinformation, misrepresentation, distortion, exaggeration, twisting the truth, fear, equivocation, prevarication, ridicule, logical fallacy, treachery calumny and lies..
Sociopathy can be complicated by other psychological problems... these other problems can make the sociopath dangerous...
sociopaths are no by nature homicidal maniacs.
sociopaths attract a lot of hatred towards them self because their conduct is so brazen ballzy, bullish, manipulative... and there is certain -more rare- type of sociopath.. that goes way beyond being self centered, selfish... they are also covetous.. The covetous sociopath goes out of their way to take away from other people, their property, their rights, their dignity their success.. they work to undermine others.
They do a lot of damage to society, pontificating their lack of conscience as the new ISM "sociopathism".
They attempt to spread their pathological unconscionable thinking into the next generation disrupting the normal human socialization process.
They hate conscience, they see conscience as a dictator, as an enemy, as a "socialist" as threat to their "Freedom and Liberty" to do what ever they want to whomever they want, when ever they want.
Because 15 out of every 25 human beings will unquestioningly obey authority figures and transfer responsibility for what they do that of the authority figure,
Natural Born sociopaths must be kept out of government, corporate management, media outlets, teaching institutions... Sociopath speak pathological speech. Sociopathy is human pathology, a sickness, a disease.. it is a genetic psycho/social disease, for which there is no cure.

A quick bit of corrective vocabulary;
A sociopath uses relationships to get things - a feeling of love, a bigger house, whatever, and then feels little or no guilt when the person and relationship that provided the benefit is cast aside.
Sociopaths are usually nonviolent. The conmen in Matchstick Men were sociopaths, but did not harm people physically.
A psychopath commits violent crimes such as murder. A serial killer is a psychopath.
I think you are referring to a psychopath, not a sociopath.
Incidentally, both terms are now obsolete. The term sociopath has been replaced by personality disoder, allowing professionals to then categorize the disorder into a subgroup.

Great arguments against complete disarmament or even against disarming to the 400 level.
To explain another aspect of this problem alluded to above, if we reduce our arsenal to a low level, we naturally reduce the complexity of a preventive attack by another nuclear power.
If we now have hundreds of sites to eliminate our launch or deployment capability, reducing to 400 warheads will reduce our number of sites commensurately.
Will an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) shut down our silos? I hope not, but if it did, we would have a much greater problem maintaining launch capability.
A 3000 mile diameter target (the size of an EMP attack) is easy to hit with 1 nuclear bomb. Let's keep the high numbers, and keep our deterrent intact.

Thank you for allowing my misspelling, Iam he of Ca :)
Let's not thank Barack Obama for bombing Libya and killing so many previous 'non enemies'. When do you think the relatives of the dead will look for an American to hurt?
Wrong is Wrong, no pre emptive violence.
Right is Right, Ron Paul and America with all her might. It's better for people to know we're not going to attack, than to know we're less powerful.

To Iam he of Ca, some of your points bring light on the subject.. but why should a Christian man send unprovoked - and in violation of our Constitution - Five Thousand sorties out bombing suddenly a nation we had decades of cooperation with? Were war crimes committed in Lybia?
Your pal Barack Obama also did a big violent surge in Afghanistan just to give the generals 'one more crack at it'... not in any way for the good of anyone.
If there are killers in high places - and there are - then everyone can now make it criminal to launch military strikes and especially with any chance of civilian casualties.
No job title gives any human the right to initiate the killing of innocents.
Carry a big stick, and tell everyone to get along. Non-coercion/ non violence. Peace through strength!

With Mutual Nuclear Deterrence there is no first strike!
MND makes both venues unsafe for war
MND makes war obsolete..
war machine manufacturers, and military superior imperialist hate MND
MND -Civilized Deterrence- has enemies,
think about it, Who is it that sees a civilized world as the enemy?
only a natural born sociopath..
who also sees conscience as the enemy, who sees conscience as a dictator, who sees conscience as a socialist, who sees conscience as a restriction on their "freedom and Liberty" to do what ever the hell they want, when they want, to whomever they want.
The real enemy is not NUKES, it is the 1 out of 25 who are natural born sociopaths and make it into politics at any level.

The possibility of one single nuke headed toward an American City, the possibility of one single nuke entering an American port, the possibility that an enemy nation has the ability and the means to make a nuclear weapon now or in the future, the possibility that the US military/government can do anything that would result in a nuclear detonation any where in the biosphere is enough to deter the entire US military.
Nuclear Gain
a few nukes can deter many nukes
Universal Deterrence... a detonation in the biosphere has devastating consequences, it is an attack on the biosphere, and attack on the human genome, and poisons humanity all around the world... including those who caused the detonation.
MND -Civilized Deterrence is a good thing, it works, has never failed, and is good science -could be proven wrong but so far has not been proven wrong.
North Korea's Nukes completely deter the US and they can not even reach the US..

Carrying a big stick isn't the problem, hitting first is. An ethic where first use of military force is an act of international criminality is the right start.
Peace through Strength.
