China Didn't - Cuba DID

A quick history lesson to those who are wondering why we have trade relations with China and not Cuba, despite both being communist nations - CHINA didn't attempt to set up and host Soviet nuclear missile bases in our backyard - Cuba did. CHINA didn't come to us asking for help in ridding their country of a despotic government, promising to install a pro-America democracy, then turning a hard left into communism and pro-SOVIET dictatorship - Cuba did.

CHINA wasn't a direct threat to the U.S. when we established trade relations with them, not to mention that those trade relations were a natural outgrowth of our trade relations with Hong Kong, which was essentially a British city until relatively recently. CHINA witnessed the power of free-market capitalism in Hong Kong, at one time the fastest growing city on the planet, and they wanted a part of it - hence the reason for free enterprise zones throughout China, where the standard of living is ridiculously higher than the rest of the country.

Cuba had none of this, although various administrations have made overtures to Cuba over the years, and rightfully so, as it really is in OUR best interests to see that our neighbors do well on their own. The biggest obstacle to that - especially in Cuba, Haiti, and Mexico - is the MASSIVE corruption in their respective governments.

It's really not that difficult to figure this stuff out, but those I hear asking why we DO with China and DON'T with Cuba are - most of them, anyway - old enough to remember the Cuban missile crisis of the early 60's. Try opening a history book once in a while - you might have a memory or two resurface through those drug-addled brains. ~ Hunter

What The World Seems To Ignore

23,148: It's been 37 days since last I wrote one of these posts, and shock of all shocks, there's been no let up from the followers of mohammed. That's right – 256 attacks with fatalities. That's almost seven attacks per day.

23,148: Seventy-one people, including a fourteen year old boy, killed in 6 known attacks committed over just three days since Tuesday, 10 JUN 2014. Almost twenty-four people per day mercilessly slaughtered by islamists.


I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure no Christians have killed anyone in the name of Christianity, so can someone please explain to me why Christianity and Christians are blamed for all the world's ills? I certainly don't understand how telling someone about Christianity is “forcing my religion on them,” but an islamist telling someone “convert or die” somehow isn't? Funny how that works.


Between 31 MAY 14 and 06 JUN 14, there were:


57 jihad attacks
13 “allahu akbar” suicide attacks
821 dead bodies (that's just over 117 per day)
628 critically injured in these attacks


I've done these posts for a long time on Facebook before starting this blog, and I believe the killing of 117 people is a new record. A disgusting record, but a record nonetheless.


Let's look at the totals for just May 2014:


233 jihad attacks
26 countries
1883 dead bodies (averaging just over 52 people murdered in the name of allah [lowercase to denote disrespect] per day)
2137 critically injured


The numbers for the entirety of 2013 are bringing the reality of the “religion” of “peace” will bring some additional clarity to this post:


2801 jihad attacks
51 countries
16,170 dead bodies (average of just over 44 people killed PER DAY)
29,432 critically injured


To put this in a little perspective, the estimate - which is based on new, very thorough research - of people killed during the entire *500* years of the Medieval and the Spanish Inquisitions is about 6,000 deaths. While those deaths are reprehensible, and all Catholics lament them, it's not quite the same, is it? The acknowledged average estimate is around 30,000.


I have no patience for the people who say that the Inquisition was just as bad as islamic terrorism, especially given that anyone with half a brain, and five minutes can easily find this information online. The next time someone brings up the Inquisition, you now have the facts to refute their arguments.


I know some will say I'm “islamophobic.” That's fine; it's not true, mind you - but I can handle that. To those people, however, I submit this: A phobia is an “unreasoning fear” of something. With numbers like I've detailed above, you have to ask yourselves one question: Is it really “unreasoning fear” when their mantra is “Convert or Die”?


While islam and muslims may not be the only problem in this world – Russia's antagonism of Ukraine, China starting to flex its political muscles around the globe, the looming global economic crisis that will happen if the nations of the world don't get their profligate spending under control quickly – but they certainly are a significant one. The political correctness needs to stop. It's time to call a spade, a spade. Only when the world stands together and says, “Enough is enough!!!” will this cease to be a problem. ~ Hunter
