"></a><p>Some terror suspects held until now in Camp Delta on the US Navy base in Gitmo, Cuba, will be transferred to a prison in Illinois. “In taking this action, said National Security Adviser James Jones, &#8220;we are removing from terrorist organizations around the world the recruiting tool that Guantanamo has come to symbolize.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jones is right on the money.</p>
<p>You see, before the USA ran Camp Delta, Al-Qaeda had a real tough time getting members to die on Jihad. For example, they found only 19 members ready to hijack a mere four jets to carry out a terror attack, a year after the attack on the USS Cole. I cannot begin to think how many more planes would have been hijacked if Al-Qeada had this &#8220;Gitmo&#8221; recruiting toll back in 2000.</p>
<p>Furthermore, look how many terror attacks the US had on its territory since Gitmo came along. You want the list? Here it is: Em, ah. E, hu, em&#8230; Sorry, I lost the list. I think it is somewhere between, em&#8230; How many? O, now I remeber: Between zero and no attacks.</p>
<p>Update: I found the list! The DC Sniper said on his death bed that the main reason he shot 13 people in 2002, was due to Gitmo.</p>
<p>Oops, he didn&#8217;t say that. I just made it up.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://gestetnerupdates.com/2009/11/18/analysis-12-9-million-not-2-5-million-jobs-gained-under-bush/" title="Analysis: 12.9 Million, Not 2.5 Million, Jobs Gained Under Bush"></a><p>Those who know stats of the US job market are aware of the bitter fact that during the eight years of President George W. Bush, the economy gained only 2.58 million jobs. The main reasons for these bleak numbers are the recessionary, job-losing economy Bush inherited from President Clinton, and the weak economy that Bush had in his last twelve months in office.</p>
<p>This was the thinking until now.</p>
<p>But a new complimentary way of counting jobs shows, that during President Bush’s tenure, the economy actually gained 12.9 million jobs, which GWB says is the credit of his tax cuts. The new model was designed by Chicago economist Barack H. Obama who calls his new system “Jobs Saved or Created.” This model calculates minimum x5 to the positive side the numbers produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the official job-counting body of the US Government. </p>
<p>For example: According to the BLS, the US economy lost a total of 2.61 million jobs from March of ’09 through September ’09. Using the Obama model, these numbers mean that the economy actually gained or prevented from losing minimum 640,000 jobs, or perhaps even up to 1 million jobs. Based on this calculation, one should conclude that the BLS stats showing Bush’s economy gaining only 2.5 million jobs, likely has “created or saved” minimum 12.9 million jobs.</p>
<p>Economist Obama says that creating Congressional districts; claiming a pay raise as a job saved; and producing numbers out of thin air, are all welcome ways to use the Jobs Created or Saved system.</p>
<p>Fans of President Clinton are now petitioning the BLS that the current figures that show the economy gaining 22 million jobs during President Clinton’s era should be revised to a gain of minimum 100 million jobs.</p>

<p>We all heard recently that race plays a role in the fact that “some” people do not like the work of President Obama. Former President <a href="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/09/21/bill-clinton-weighs-in-on-charges-of-racism-against-obama/">Clinton</a> and President <a href="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/09/18/obama-race-not-overriding-issue-in-criticism/">Obama himself</a> both claimed in recent days that “some” critics are racially motivated. Considering that none of the two leaders gave a specific number what percentage of critics are racial-based, let us say that just 5% (one twentieth) of Obama critics fit this mold.</p>
<p>Going with this thinking, <a href="http://yossigestetner.com/">yossigestetner.com</a> reviewed the President’s Job Approval Index comprised by <a href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/obama_approval_index_history">Rasmussen</a>, which calculates the percentage of people strongly approving vs. those strongly disapproving of the President’s work. On January 24, after three full days in office, only eighteen percent strongly disapproved of Obama’s work. However today, September 23, the number is up to 38%, an increase of 112%. In other words, racial sentiment also increased by 112%, because it is impossible to think that anything but race plays a role to “some” of Obama critics, and since the amount of Obama critics increased by 112%, we must conclude that the “some” class also increased, likely by the same 112%.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://gestetnerupdates.com/2009/09/21/i-am-a-racist/" title="I Am a Racist"></a><p><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">NOTE (added Feb 1, 2010) TO DUMB-HEADS: The following article is sarcasm. Read on; you will “get it.”</span></strong></p>
<p>Yes dear reader, I am admitting to you that I am a racist! I don’t like President Obama, nor do I like my state’s governor Paterson, both of them are African American.</p>
<p>You see, I am totally in favor of the U.S. losing control of the situation in Iraq; the military having its worst months ever in Afghanistan, and the world’s most unpredictable nations moving ahead with WMD programs, while the U.S. gives up its plan for a land-based missile defense system in Eastern Europe. In addition, I am all for the Labor Unions, who ran to the ground the U.S. auto industry, getting a bigger piece of the Auto pie than did the secure creditors, and the unions having their bullies run Town Hall meetings rather than peaceful citizens having their say. I am all for this. Furthermore, I support the U.S. running up deficits 40%-50% bigger than what was expected back in December, and how can I be against the national unemployment rate that is now at just 9.7%? I also support a stimulus bill that six months later still has the economy losing more jobs than the economy lost before the panic of the Lehman collapse gripped the nation.</p>
<p>But despite being in support of all these policies, I still do not approve of the job President Obama is doing. You sure wonder why, right? Well simple, I am racist! I cannot stand African Americans in leadership positions. Why do you all think I hate Clarence Thomas as a Supreme Court Justice, and Condi Rice being a few years ago the first female African American secretary of state? Simple: I hate African Americans. Ooops, my mistake. I just noticed that I actually love the fact that Mr. Thomas is on the court, and I still like how Ms. Rice spoke in public on vital issues.</p>
<p>Here in NY is the same thing. I am so proud of my state, between others how the Legislator was the laughing stock of the world without the governor having a clue how to get things under control, and how in this recession Governor Paterson used most of the Stimulus money for increased spending rather than covering current expenditures. I am so proud of this state’s motor vehicle administration, where it takes a damn few hours to change a stupid address on a driver’s license. I am SO in love with all this, but I still don’t want Governor Paterson to run for reelection next year. You know why? You got it: because he is black. Ill rather have a state with such weird things like a functioning Legislator and motor vehicle system; lower taxes, and lower unemployment rate, than actually having an African American as my governor for one more day.</p>
<p>Until a short while ago, I lived in New York’s Village of Spring Valley where village tax under the current Mayer’s eight year administration went up almost double than under his predecessor, yet the village still doesn’t have an extra dime in its coffers. In addition, the Police harass people for miner things, and one of the most important roads in the area is locked down for almost two years due to a stretch of less than two-hundred feet that the village still didn’t figure out how to fix. I would have given the current mayor high marks for his great work, if not for the fact that he is African American.</p>
<p> You see, I liked his predecessor. You know why? Because he was a White man. Oops, wrong again, he is actually Black too. So why did I like the predecessor’s  work so much that I would want him back controlling the village where I grew up in? ah, I get it. He balanced budgets, cut wasteful spending and had a friendly Police Department.</p>
<p>I am so filled with hate, that I don’t even know what I support and why I support it.</p>
