Something that has been rattling around my brain-pan is that Obama is not an Alpha male. You see this when he interacts with Bo — notice that the leash is always tight and Bo is always pulling. If Obama were Alpha, Bo would be obeying him, it is Bo that is setting the agenda in these photos:Now comes this article from Greg Lewis at American Thinker:Did We Elect a Beta Male As President?We’re all somewhat familiar with the body language dogs display when they greet each other.

From American Thinker : We’re all somewhat familiar with the body language dogs display when they greet each other. The dominant alpha male approaches directly, asserting his authority, while the beta male genuflects, crouches, tucks his tail, and may even end up on his back, exposing his neck in acquiescence, making sure the alpha male knows he has no intention of challenging him.

When Putin announced that Russia would no longer sell its oil and natural gas in dollars, there were the normal — its OK type statements from the financial world, and it was viewed by the Western financial cognoscenti as an anomaly. However, since the Federal Reserve is printing an estimated $600 billion a year to give to bankers and brokers, who then buy U.S. Treasury bills to finance for our over-spending Federal Government with printed dollars — the value of the dollar drops due to the massive over supply.

October 5, 2009 By George Friedman Related Special Topic Page The Iranian Nuclear Game Two major leaks occurred this weekend over the Iran matter . In the first, The New York Times published an article reporting that staff at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the U.N. nuclear oversight group, had produced an unreleased report saying that Iran was much more advanced in its nuclear program than the IAEA had thought previously.

Coming back from the brink of death after a car bomb that put him in a coma, the Ingush president Yunus-Bek Yevkurov today dismissed his republic’s entire government. Was it because he felt the leadership was not doing enough to stem the Islamist insurgency widely accused of destabilising this tiny territory and having tried to kill him? For a Putin or Kadyrov, such a reaction to a summer of attacks that left hundreds dead over the summer and the president himself in the casualty ward, would be normal.

Reports: Putin assured he can count on Renault to help struggling Russian carmaker AvtoVAZ (The San Francisco Examiner) MOSCOW — A top Renault executive told Vladimir Putin on Monday the Russian prime minister can count on the French auto giant to assist its partner, struggling Russian carmaker AvtoVAZ, Russian news agencies reported. Russia: Putin Tells Renault-Nissan To Help AvtoVAZ (Edmunds.com) MOSCOW — Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has told the Renault-Nissan Alliance, one of the largest shareholders of the Russian automobile giant AvtoVAZ, that it must help finance the embattled automaker or risk diluting its stake in the company.

Bruce Ratner’s Atlantic Yards arena has been mentioned in the past as well, but in its latest downsized incarnation it would have too small a floor for hockey. E.W.

What?  You mean the 2007 National Intelligence Estimate was horsecrap all along ??? Two years ago, American intelligence agencies published a detailed report [i.e. the 2007 NIE] concluding that Tehran halted its efforts to design a nuclear weapon in 2003. But in recent months, Britain has joined France, Germany and Israel in disputing that conclusion, saying the work has been resumed. A senior American official said last week that the United States was now re-evaluating its 2007 conclusions .

Irwin Stelzer writing in the Times of London: A funny thing happened on the way to the collapse of market capitalism in the face of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. It didn’t. Indeed, in Germany voters relieved Chancellor Angela Merkel of the necessity of cohabiting with a left-wing party, allowing her to form a coalition with a party favouring lower taxes and free markets. And in Pittsburgh leaders representing more than 90% of the world’s GDP convened to figure out how to make markets work better, rather than to hoist the red flag.

Paranoia Runs Free! Tin-foil hat time boys and girls. The question of the day is, did President Obama make a secret stop in Russia and visit with Putin during his Copenhagen trip last week? Normally I don’t buy into these conspiracy theories, and you’ll probably find this one as crazy as any of them, but hey, let’s have some fun. So first, Adam Curry totally buys into this, if you are interested you can listen to his take here . This is where I first saw this whole idea floated.

Russian politics is a joke.  I’m not being sarcastic.  It really is funny.  Perhaps in an effort to one up the inanity of American politics (as we all know Russians just want to be like us !), or because it has a fatuous dynamic of its own, what passes for the political over there often epitomizes the absurd.  Take the most recent scandal involving the Anti- Soviet Kebab House, the Moscow Veterans Committee, the dissident Alexander Podrabinek , and Nashi.  It was a publicity stunt within a publicity stunt.

Obama’s White House is Falling Down Article from the “Canadian Press” By Daniel Greenfield In the sixth month of his presidency, Obama has turned an economic downturn into an economic disaster, taking over and trashing entire companies, and driving the nation deep into deficit spending expected to pass 10 trillion dollars. Abroad, Obama seems to have no other mode except to continue on with his endless campaign, confusing speechmaking with diplomacy.

The wives of four sailors from the “Arctic Sea” cargo ship have published an open letter calling on Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to help. Share and Enjoy:

Monday, October 05, 2009   Cognitive dissonance is described by webster: “as refusing to process facts that conflict with deeply held beliefs”. And this aptly describes the way Obama has been acting the past few months, and came to a culmunation when he chaired the UN Securuty Council meeting with 19 other leaders of Countries sitting at the table. His position was and still is, that we can talk the madmen in control of Iran not to build nuclear bombs.

Russian FSB are caught planting bombs in buildings to blame on the Chechens. Most Russians are unlikely to see The Attempt on Russia, a French documentary shot with the help of tycoon Boris Berezovsky, now self-exiled to London. The film alleges involvement of Russian secret services in the Moscow and the Volgodonsk apartment bombings in the fall of1999. The terrorist attacks claimed 247 lives and paved the way for a new Chechen war that helped install Vladimir Putin as Russian President.

Woohoo!  America Loses!  Some country with brown people, FTW!  Wait, we don’t even like brown people… What are we cheering for again? As you probably know, Chicago lost the bid to host the 2016 Olympics in the first round.  Ultimately, the International Olympic Committee decided to have the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.  (Somewhere Duran Duran is getting really excited; sales of Rio are going to skyrocket.  Just you watch.  Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand… just like that river twisting through the dusty land.

IF JUSTICE were the ultimate goal, Dmitry Medvedev, Russia’s president, and Mikheil Saakashvili, his Georgian counterpart, should appear together in court in The Hague. As their countries’ commanders-in-chief, both violated international law during the war in Georgia. So suggests this week’s European Union report on the war.
