Within days of the close of the Olympics in Sochi, Vladimir Putin did what those like Sarah Palin predicted he would do six years ago. He invaded the Ukraine and as the days pass, he will tighten his hold on the throat of the people and he will reinforce his power and control in the Ukraine and the region.

What Vladimir Putin is doing, is what knowledgeable people have predicted would occur for the last ten years. Putin is re-assembling the states of the former Soviet Union. Once collapsed and bankrupted by the actions of President Ronald Reagan, it is now almost thirty years since the Soviets conceded the defeat of communism to America. But communism didn't die. It simply went into a state of stasis until a new champion arose. That champion is Vladimir Putin.

In the six years since Obama has been president. Putin has consistently looked upon America as a weakened nation. A nation being led by an administration of Fabian socialists, absent the knowledge of history or any competent understanding of the threats present in the world today. Make no mistake, Vladimir Putin will not half step, he will not placate American social or political interests and he most certainly won't bow or concede to anything that Barrack Obama brings to the conversation. Vladimir Putin is a warrior, he is a man driven by the desire to see the Soviet empire re-established and America destroyed once and for all. The allies on his flank are our bankers the Chinese, who he will divvy up the spoils with once America is defeated.

I am certain that when Putin looks upon the ramblings of Barrack Obama and his hollow threats of condemnation toward Russia over the past week, he laughs. Putin has no fear of America and he certainly has no reason to fear Barack Obama.

Beginning with the Clinton administration, we as a nation allowed ourselves to be systematically weakened militarily. The only respite since then has been the eight years of the Bush administration. Now, since Obama has been in office, he has systematically moved to weaken and destroy the American military and to convey that reality to our enemies. From the purge of senior command generals in the American military, to the elimination of entire defense systems, to the withdrawal of our troops from Iraq, to the present draw down of our forces to a weak reflection of the strength of the American military prior to WWII.

One look at Fallujah Iraq, a city fought for and conquered by the US Marines in the bloodiest battle of the war in Iraq, reflects that all that was fought for and gained by our war in Iraq has now been lost. Thousands died and were permanently wounded and disfigured and for what? So that an interloping socialist who despises capitalism and the American military could step in and give it all back to our enemies? You decide.

George W. Bush may have failed to do much of what was needed to be done to end that war and remove the desire of militant Islam to continue to attack America, but he never literally bowed to Muslim tyrants and he never conceded and bartered away that which had been acquired by American blood in response to the attacks of 9/11.

I read recently a quote attributed to Vladimir Putin that I believe reflects the present reality as it concerns our president's relationship with Vladimir Putin and the Russians. I perceive Barack Obama as arrogant, narcissistic and an intellectual light weight when it comes to understanding the world and the real threats to America. He is too busy admiring himself and setting himself aside from the responsibilities of the presidency, to be concerned with who and what the real threats are in the world today. I believe that Vladimir Putin sees Barack Obama similarity and Putin looks upon Obama as the quote attributed to Putin represents below.

"negotiating with Obama is like playing chess with a pigeon. The pigeon knocks over all the pieces, craps on the board, then struts around like it won the game." There are those who attribute this quote to others, but I can see Putin recognizing the truth of the representation regardless of who first uttered it and i can see Putin readily using the quote as a metaphor of how he see his relationship with Obama.

Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, went to Russia in 2009 and famously provided a prop red button of "re-set" to the former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev . And as if an omen of the relationship to come, it was learned that the translation provided to the Russian gift by a glib Hillary Clinton, was in fact the wrong word inscribed on the prop button.

The correct word on the button should have been "perezagruzka," meaning "reset."
Not "peregruzka," meaning "overload."

The former is the word the Obama administration often invokes when describing what they would like to do regarding U.S.-Russian relations according to the reports in the aftermath of that SNAFU..

"I think that there has been a time over the last several years where Russian-U.S. relations were not as strong as they should be," President Obama told ITAR-TASS/ROSSIYA TV. "What I said coming in is that I wanted to press the reset button on relations between the United States and Russia."

I believe the re-set button has been pressed, but not by Obama and it is not the one provided by Obama. Vladimir Putin pushed his own re-set button this week when Russia invaded the former Soviet state of the Ukraine. And the worst thing about it? There is not a damn thing that Obama can or will do about it. Talk about overload? Obama's reaction to Putin's action was to leave Washington. America's present leader is not simply a metaphoric parallel to the famous story of the Emperor's New Clothes. Our president's story is one of revealed lack of leadership. A lack of leadership of this president who is about to be revealed as a foreign policy eunuch. The president of the United States didn't even attend his own National Security meeting this week with his cabinet concerning the Russian invasion of the Ukraine. What does this say about his concern and his leadership capabilities as president and commander in chief. Remember the question of who do you want answering the 3 AM phone call of crisis in the White House that was proposed by many during the 2008 presidential campaign? Well now we know. Fist as Benghazi unfolded and now as the Russians have begun rebuilding the former Soviet Union.

Stay tuned as the events in the Ukraine and our relationship with the Russians is about to become very interesting. I am betting that much like the era when Neville Chamberlain equivocated after Nazi Germany's "annexation" of Austria in 1939, Barack Obama will be equally willing to ignore what Putin has done in the Ukraine this week. Any bets on the resurrected Soviet Union's next "Annexation?" Or on Obama's response?

Prime's Worm hole

This is a place for me to muse about the issues that affect our world. My world and my country and my life in particular. I can say what I want to here and those who may stumble across my musings, are welcome to comment,or not. America is under siege. Everything this nation has ever represented, is now being torn asunder and crushed by the onslaught of egalitarian socialism. All morals and social values have been devolved into the belief that systemic racism, is the only underlying cause or reason for any societal ills in America. And that representation, is nothing but a Trojan Horse argument. A means of getting the egalitarian camel's nose into the tent. And now that it has been inserted? There is mayhem and anarchy and burning and looting all across America. And the only questions that remains to be asked and answered? Are these. When is enough enough and when will the American people call full stop and take the law into their own hands, to repel this socialist based attack on the Constitution and our personal freedoms.

Thinking

It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now and then -- just to loosen up and be a part of the crowd.
Inevitably, though, one thought led to another and soon I was more than just a social thinker.

I began to think alone -- "to relax", I told myself -- but I knew it wasn't true.
Thinking became more and more important to me and finally I was thinking all the time.

I began to think on the job. I knew that thinking and employment don't mix, but I couldn't help myself.

I began to avoid friends at lunchtime so I could read Thoreau, Muir, Confucius and Kafka. I would return to the office dizzied and confused, asking, "What is it exactly we are doing here?"

One day the boss called me in. He said, "Listen, I like you and it hurts me to say this, but your thinking has become a real problem. If you don't stop thinking on the job, you'll have to find another job."

"Honey," I confessed, "I've been thinking..."

"I know you've been thinking," she said, "and I want a divorce!" "But Honey, surely it's not that serious." "It is serious," she said, lower lip aquiver.

"You think as much as college professors and college professors don't make that much money, so if you keep on thinking, we won't have any money!"
She exploded in tears of rage and frustration, but I was in no mood to deal with the emotional drama.

"I'm going to the library," I snarled
I headed for the library, in the mood for some John Locke. I roared into the parking lot with NPR on the radio and ran up to the big glass doors.

They didn't open. The library was closed.

To this day, I believe that a Higher Power was looking out for me that night.

Leaning on the unfeeling glass, whimpering for Emerson, a poster caught my eye, "Friend, is heavy thinking ruining your life?" it asked.

This is why I am what I am today: a recovering thinker.

I never miss a TA meeting. At each meeting we watch a non-educational video; last week it was "Porky's." Then we share experiences about how we avoided thinking since the last meeting.

I still have my job, and things are a lot better at home. Life just seemed easier, somehow, as soon as I stopped thinking. I think the road to recovery is nearly complete for me.

Today I took the final step...I joined the Democratic Party

If you are able,
save them a place
inside of you
and save one backward glance
when you are leaving
for the places they can
no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say
you loved them,
though you may
or may not have always.
Take what they have left
and what they have taught you
with their dying
and keep it with your own.
And in that time
when men decide and feel safe
to call the war insane,
take one moment to embrace
those gentle heroes
you left behind.

Major Michael Davis O'Donnell
1 January 1970
Dak To, Vietnam

Captain Michael O'Donnell was lost in Cambodia on March 24 1970, while flying a UH1 rescue helicopter, trying to rescue an eight man LRRP team under attack in Cambodia. He was listed as MIA along with the eight he had attempted to rescue after his UH1 Huey was shot down by enemy fire. The official military report listed the eight as shot down 'non survivable' and 'non recoverable.'

Michael O'Donnell was submitted for the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions that day. He was awarded the Distinguished flying cross, the Bronze Star, The Air Medal and The Purple Heart and he was promoted to the rank of Major (posthumously).

In 1978 he was officially listed as KIA by the Department of Defense.

A little about the philosophy of the author

The Borg Conspiracy is one man's purely pedestrian thoughts, independent musings and frequently cheeky commentaries...Mixed with an abundance of patriotism, love of God, and love of country.

My thoughts?

In my opinion........in another generation, all that will remain of our once great republic, may be little more than what is left to weather the passage of time in the form of a few obscure and forgotten monuments to the great American experiment.

If America should fail....let it be written as her epitaph.....died by her own hand. The greatest experiment in freedom ever undertaken, lost in the end to the pursuit of the illusion that egalitarian tolerance was more valuable than individual freedom.

Let us be warned.
Franklin, Payne, Jefferson. They all knew the consequences of the lack of vigilance and they tried to warn us. They gave us a document as our guide post. We were to guard it and revere it and use it to guide and govern our future and our posterity.

No one listened.
