Hello everybody and Happy New Year, here's wishing you all the best in 2010!

We start today's show with email we've received from our listeners and we've got some great email!

Then it's time for our first guest, Greg Allen, Talk Show Host heard in New York City on 620 WSNR Radio. Greg exercises his opinion to talk about the recent 'Underwear Bomber' and more regarding the state of our Country's Security and the future of Janet Napalitano as DHS Secretary. Greg also speaks about the political games played regarding our Nation's Security which has most Americans hoping mad and just itching the 2010 Elections were tomorrow instead of November 2nd...

Time next for former NH U.S. Sen. Bob Smith who is running for the GOP Senate nomination against Gov. Charlie Crist and former FL House Speaker Marco Rubio. Sen. Smith is asked to comment about Florida State Sovereignty rerading the Submerged Lands Act and going after the Oil we have off our shoreline in the Gulf of Mexico plus building a Refinery here in Florida to use our own Oil and save Florida residents a lot of money in the process. Sen. Smith also comments on how his Campaign is doing and looking forward to 2010 and having his momentum continue to grow...

This is a great close to a fantastic year for "The Captain's AMERICA Radio Show." We strated out as a Weekly Show heard on the weekends on 25 radio stations, then moved to daytime during the afternoons and now you can hear us 5 days a week LIVE from 6-9 AM ET on WSRQ Radio 1220 AM and 106.9 FM also on the Internet LIVE on WSRQ Radio.com, Talkstream Live.com and The Captain's AMERICA.com website's...

The Captain's AMERICA Radio Show For Dec. 30th...


Hello everybody and Happy New Year a little early as we talk today about the Washington Political scene with our good friend former NY Congressman John LeBoutillier. We also toss in a little common sense about economics and add a splash of intelligence in speaking about how people get appointed to Cabinet positions based on the amount of money they raised for a Political Campaign rather than the experience they should have to do the job...

Then our pal former NYPD Beat Cop Kevin 'Coach' Collins drops in to talk about Homeland Security and how the Dutch screwed up and allowed somebody who was on the Terrorist Watch List to board a plane and almost blow it up over the skies of Detroit. Once again 'Political Correctness' set in and refused to allow common sense and almost cost 278 people to lose their lives. 'Coach' also tells us about the possibility this was a 'probe' to see what would happen so the next time it's attempted, the Terrorist's will know more about what and how to accomplish their act...

This is one of those shows when you just have to scratch your heads and wonder how we could have ever allowed ourselves to have voted in a group of people who promised 'hope and change' and instead have given us more debt than we ever imagined and no change but plenty of reason to hope we can vote them out in 2010...

Stay tuned, more to come as we enter 2010 and 'We The People' take charge and let Washington, DC know who it is that they work for...

Get IN the know weekday mornings 6-9 AM and tune in to "The Captain's AMERICA Radio Show" heard LIVE on WSRQ Radio 1220 AM and 106.9 FM in Sarasota, FL. and on the Internet at WSRQ Radio.com and Talkstream Live.com at the same time...

Then it's Camp Taji, Iraq calling and U.S. Army Capt. Anthony John form the 96th SBDE Unit where he's a Public Affairs Officer. The Capt. tells us about his duty assignment, average day and life in general in Iraq serving in the U.S. Army...

The First 12 Months Of Obama Captivity: Preparing For Eradication...


The First 12 Months Of Obama Captivity: Preparing For Eradication...



Written By: Sher Zieve ...

December 28, 2009

SARASOTA, FL. (NS/NMA) -

Now beginning the Era of Captivity, the American people have entered a new stage in their once extremely productive lives. This new phase has been purposefully designed to be unproductive and will be called 'existence.' Existence, however, will soon degrade and devolve — with no one stopping the perpetrators of this abhorrence — into subsistence. After that chapter has been written and read, life will have become so essentially bitter and untenable that additional deteriorations in life-conditions will carry no significant meaning — other than base survival.

Since the Usurper and Dictator in Chief Barack Hussein Obama assumed power and rule over American citizens in January 2009, the United States of America has been under siege from far left terrorist ObamaMentors, an increasing set of perverse and prurient Marxist and Maoist Czars, thieves creating hoaxes ("global warming: comes immediately to mind) in order to steal the resources of the USA out from under its inhabitant-owners and "The Obama" (this designation has quickly become most recent synonym for Tyrant) itself.

For anyone who still maintains the ability to see, hear and discern that which is occurring in reality, The Obama's mission is clear. As a refresher, let's again take a look at a very small portion of the clearly Draconian orders that The Obama has dictated and the Orwellian legislation the US Marxist-run Congress has passed since the despot has been in office.

1. With their bogus jobs' and economy "stimulus packages," Obama and the US Congress continue to bleed the American people dry of all of their money and resources. In actual fact, the actions from Obama show that he has followed and is following the advice of one of his mentors, Saul Alinsky, in destroying the US middle-class by destroying its private sector companies and, therefore, its jobs. Forget about these jobs coming back, folks. As predicted, unemployment rates have risen and will continue to rise. The mission of The Obama is to destroy all that is the USA. As I wrote when the first stimulus package was announced, and other well-known entities have since picked up on it, it was created and is now being used as, yet, another Marxist-Democrat slush fund.

2. On 17 December 2009 with Executive Order 12425, Barack Hussein Obama gave foreign police force INTERPOL immunity from Congressional action and the US Constitution's Fourth Amendment in order to provide cover to anything and everything said police force plans to do on Obama's behalf — and under his orders — while in the USA. From the Patriot Room, a portion of the Tyrant Obama's order reads: "property and assets of [INTERPOL], wherever located and by whomsoever held, shall be immune from search, unless such immunity be expressly waived, and from confiscation." Whether We-the-People like it or not, Obama is internationalizing the US Constitution, minimalizing and decreasing US sovereignty and may now, also, be setting up the American people for dissolution of all of their rights under said US Constitution.

3. Despite the fact that the majority of We-the-People are strongly opposed to the ObamaCare Death Plan (some polls show the opposition as high as 72%), Obama and his Marxist Congress are determined to ram it down our throats. The ObamaCare Death Plan is the virtually all-encompassing proposal that will lead very quickly to complete ObamaControl over everything the American people do and will give Obama's commissars and Czars total control over who lives and who dies. The Obama Death Panels are back — and with a vengeance, folks! What will happen is that Obama & Co will have complete control over 1/6 of what's left of the US economy. Can you say "another Marxist-Democrat slush fund with no healthcare, whatsoever?

4. Even though global warming has now been exposed as merely another scheme to steal money from the USA and its people, Obama traveled to Copenhagen and pledged $100 Billions to solving the, now admittedly unsolvable, manmade global warming issue. It can't be solved because mankind dos not control climate change.

5. Obama and his fellow Marxists still plan to push the faux Cap & Trade (realistically "Cash & Tax") program. And, as was accomplished with his despotic ObamaCare Death Plan, Obama will use any and all bribes (if money, it's out of yours and my pockets) necessary to do so. The Chicago mob/syndicate is firmly in control of the US government.

6. The Obama has taken control of and nationalized our banks

7. The Obama has taken control of and nationalized our automobile industry

8. Obama is now establishing his own police force and said prior to his election: "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

9. Dispelling any rumors that Obama is not — himself — a criminal, Obama and his US Attorney General Eric Holder have said that Obama's unlawful election-fraud unit ACORN WILL be funded. Note: Besides, Obama will need them for both the 2010 and 2012 elections

There are hundreds more examples of what The Obama has accomplished in his first year of office. But, I've almost made myself sick telling the truth about those listed above. The facts are there for all to see. Are you preparing for your own eradication under the hammer and sickle of the tyrant? Still feeling peaceful?

Dems May Have A Price, But Americans Just Want To Work!


Dems May Have A Price, But Americans Just Want To Work!


Written By: Kyle Warren...

SARASOTA, FL. (NS/KyleWarren) -

Well, looks like Sen Nelson had his price too I guess when it come to the healthcare bill in the Senate. Assuming the Senate passes the bill this week I think the real fight will begin between the Democrats as they try and meld the two bills. It's been reported today that this will likely take place behind closed doors--what a surprise! With the liberal left absolutely outraged at the idea that the "public option" would not be part of this historic bill, look for the friction to really intensify.

What's very concerning to me are some of the opinions I'm hearing regarding how this would have moved forward if Harry Reid was not able to find 60 votes. For example, all the talk about how the Senate could simply use "reconciliation" to pass the healthcare bill with a mere 51 votes instead of the 60 required by the Senate rules. This is scary, and should be scary to every American, because the liberal left appears to be losing all their pretenses and just saying that they will do what they want when they want and there really is nothing that anyone can do about it. In this instance, even though the American people are clearly opposed the bill in its present form--public option or not--the message from the government elite is that this will move forward no matter what.


And if you don't like this bill and don't support it don't worry! You'll like it eventually. NBC's Chris Matthews said recently that the American people would "fall in love" with the bill after it passes. So, I guess that the liberal elite are so smart that they know what we want even if we say in a unified voice that we DO NOT want the healthcare bill cramed down our throats. Welcome to the new paradigm.

At this time of year when Christmas draws near and people's hearts turn towards home and family, the biggest concern on the minds and hearts of so many is not some urgent need for the installation of a government run universal healthcare system from which there is no escape but, rather, where the jobs will come from in the coming year. What will expand our economy and build confidence that tomorrow will truly be a better day? How long will they have to suffer while the very fabric of the American way of life is re-engineered on a scale never before seen?

What is ironic is that President Obama could be seen as a hero of history if he was actively seen as focusing on jobs and the economy--not just throwing some misbegotten "stimulus" package at the economy as if that's all that you need to do to revive the "worst economic crisis since the great depression." If people were going back to work as a result of lower taxes and an atmosphere condusive to business in this country, Obama would undoubtedly reap the rewards. Instead, by pushing radical ideas on Americans under the guise of "change," there is a strong possilbility that he will be seen by history as making the problem worse and the recovery will be years away. This is very sad indeed because real people are losing their jobs and their homes and their dignity. They are WILLING to work. They are WILLING to do any job. These are the salt of the earth people caught in the politics of it all. They deserve a fighting chance. That is the American way.

Poll: Tea Party Patriots Most Popular...


Poll: Tea Party Patriots Most Popular...



Thursday, 17 Dec 2009...

Written By: David Patten...

WASHINGTON, DC (NS/NewsMax) -

The Tea Party Patriots conservative grassroots movement is now more popular than either major party according to a major new poll.

According to the new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released Wednesday, 41 percent of likely voters now have a favorable opinion of the Tea Party Patriots. That compares to a 35 percent favorable rating for Democrats and 28 percent for the GOP.

The stunning conclusion: If the Tea Party Patriots were a political party – it is increasingly shifting its emphasis in a nonpartisan political direction – it would be the most popular party in America.

The results suggest voter antipathy toward both major parties is more profound than initially recognized.

It also indicates that the left-wing bloggers and talk hosts who have consistently derided the Tea Party Patriots throughout the year with an obscene “tea bagger” reference are out of step with the American people.

“This is stunning to me just because it shows how angry Americans are – the Tea Party movement [is] more popular than both major parties,” MSNBC Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough said Thursday. “The parties are dying.”

NBC chief political correspondent Chuck Todd observed: “Candidates that align themselves against Washington and Wall Street are going to have good success right now in 2010.”

The NBC/Wall Street Journal poll also reflected the results of other surveys that have shown President Obama’s approval rating dipping below 50 percent. The survey states only 47 percent approve of his job performance. Also, only 39 percent say they have confidence in his goals and policies.

Todd described it as “a bad poll for the president.”

Our first guest 'Chrissy' from Florida Patriotic Resistance gets us started with what her group is doing to try and bring some sanity to an insane Congress and Senate that seems to be 'out of touch' with the majority of the American people! And since Pres. Obama gave himself a "B+" grade for the job he's doing, find out what the American people really think of the job he's doing...

We finish up our interviews with Jim Gilchrist, Found of the Minutemen, who are along our Southern Border with Mexico. What you will hear today is the ongoing struggle to keep both DRUGS and Illegals OUT of America and how the Mexican Army is playing a bigger part in working WITH the Mexican Drug Cartels who have a $100 Billion a year DRUG Industry going on. Our Border Patrol is OUT GUNNED and you'll hear why the Military and perhaps some select Airborne Army Units should be placed along the Border to match the FIREPOWER our Border Patrol is faced with...

'2010' can't come soon enough and when it does and the Mid-Term Elections take place, unless the Democrats and the Obama Administration have put a LOT of Americans back to work, they are DOOMED as is Pres. Obama, to a SHORT time as the 'majority' in the House, Senate and the White House. You can mark MY words on that statement!

Military Strategy and Warriorship

By

Paul E. Vallely MG, US Army (Ret)

In war, military strategy is tailored to meet the enemy’s threat, to persuade those who might fight not to fight, and when necessary, to win and achieve Victory in the shortest possible time. In the War against Radical Islam and its network of enablers, America’s top leadership achieves the opposite outcome. Meanwhile, many of today’s Generals and Colonels are repeating the Vietnam pattern of speaking critically of the Pentagon’s leadership in private, while eagerly accepting public praise and promotion from the Secretary of Defense for deferring to him and the Joints Chiefs in everything. It is time for the senior military leadership to stand up and be counted.

American soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines are rightly lauded by the American public for their courage and sacrifice in the fight for United States national security, but the high quality of American soldiers and Marines at battalion level and below cannot compensate for inadequate senior leadership at the highest levels in war. Today, the senior leadership of the U.S. armed forces in general and, the U.S. Army in particular, is overly bureaucratic, risk averse, professionally inadequate and, hence, unsuited to the complex military tasks entrusted to them. The Bush and Obama administrations have a preference for compliant, sycophantic officers who are fatally dependent on the goodwill of the Secretary of Defense and the President who promotes and appoints them.

Americans now confront issues of the utmost seriousness and gravity:

The lack of Warriors at our Senior Levels of Command – Military and Civilian

The probability that future American military operations and strategy will fail if generalship of this quality persists.

Or

The senior civilian leadership – The President - allows the Generals and Admirals to fight as they have been trained to win and achieve Victory and bring our troops Home.

Finding generals who are competent and ethical practitioners of war -- officers who will communicate to their civilian superiors the truth of what is really happening and what actions and

Resources are required for Victory. President Abraham Lincoln struggled with such incompetents in the Civil War until he found someone who won battles. The man was Ulysses S. Grant, an officer no one in the Army’s command hierarchy wanted. Long before America entered World War II, Gen. George C. Marshall, an officer who had waited 36 years for promotion to flag rank, ended his first year in office as Army chief of staff in 1940 by retiring 54 generals. After the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Marshall continued to replace hundreds of generals and colonels, elevating men like James Gavin, a captain in 1942, to brigadier general and division commander in 1944. When Gen. Matthew Ridgway assumed command of the Eighth Army in Korea, he was no less ruthless than Marshall had been with commanders in the field who did not measure up.

In war, this condition is dangerous because the nation’s three- and four-star generals are the key figures who interface between policy and action. They decisively shape and implement the

Military component of national strategy that is consistent with American policy goals, ensuring that results are attained within the framework of the mission, and taking into account intangibles such as the reputation of the American people. They determine the metrics that measure success or failure, and they create the command climate that motivates subordinate commanders to take

prompt action to overcome any and all difficulties.

Two important corollaries must be mentioned. In war, for generals to succeed, they must be men of character and integrity, accepting risk and uncertainty as the unchanging features of war. They must also demonstrate a willingness to stand up and be counted, to put country before

career and, if necessary to resign. Generals also must be students of their profession and of their

enemies especially now with a thorough understanding of the Caliphate, Sharia and the goals of Radical Islam . They must be able to put themselves in the position of their enemies, avoid rigid

adherence to ideas and methods that are ineffective, and adopt what works while concentrating

their minds on the essential tasks. These attributes have been largely absent in the U.S. senior

ranks.

Some current transformations of strategy, tactics and weapons technology would have been utterly unimaginable only a few years ago. Still, certain ancient and medieval principles of warfare remain entirely valid. The same can surely be said for the more modern ideas of Carl von Clausewitz, B.H. Liddell Hart and Antione Jomini. Their crucial concepts have long been part of the curriculum at the U.S. Military Academy and at the War Colleges. They can be ignored now only at very great risk.

For America's current leaders, attention must be paid. This includes an expanded awareness of the unchanging requirements of vision, national strategy and national survival. Ironically, however, at a moment of unprecedented national peril, our senior political and military leaders have strayed far from such an awareness. To correct this loss of direction, they should begin with a close look at Sun-Tzu.

Chinese military thought originated amidst Neolithic village conflicts almost five thousand years ago. But it was Sun-Tzu's THE ART OF WAR, written sometime in the fifth century BCE, that synthesized a coherent set of principles designed to produce military victory. At best, the full corpus of Sun-Tzu’s works and those of the other great strategists should be well understood and followed closely by all who currently seek to strengthen our military posture in the essential global war against terror and radical Islam. Indeed, the timeless Principles of War apply even more aptly to today’s global conflict than they did to past historic conflicts. As set forth in the annals of military history, these principles are best identified as:

· Objective

· Offensive

· Mass

· Economy of Force

· Maneuver

· Unity of Command

· Security

· Surprise

· Simplicity

The United States now needs to re-evaluate the very meanings of power in world politics and of the associated war principles that seek victory in a warfare that is not prolonged. The principle of “Objective” states – “When undertaking any mission, commanders should have a clear understanding of the expected outcome and its impact.” Today we call it the “endgame.” Following Clausewitz and Sun-Tzu, commanders (to include the Commander-in-Chief and his staff) need to appreciate political ends and to understand how the military conditions they might achieve can contribute to these ends. Another principle, that of the “Offensive,” states that “offensive operations are essential to maintain the freedom of action necessary for success, exploit vulnerabilities and react to rapidly changing situation and unexpected developments.”

America’s leaders should begin with Sun-Tzu's principles concerning diplomacy. Political initiatives and agreements may be useful, they will be instructed, but prudent military preparations should never be neglected. The primary objective of every state should be to weaken enemy states (today, states that support terror, e.g. Iran, North Korea and Syria) without actually engaging in armed combat. This objective links the ideal of "complete victory" to a "strategy for planning offensives." “One who cannot be victorious assumes a defensive posture; one who can be victorious, attacks....Those who excel at defense bury themselves away below the lowest depths of Earth. Those who excel at offense move from above the greatest heights of Heaven."

The principle of “Mass” outlines that commanders at all levels aggregate the effects of combat power in time and space to overwhelm enemies or to gain control of the situation. Time in warfare applies the elements of combat power against multiple targets simultaneously, and space concentrates the effects of different elements of combat power against a single target.

There is another section of the Art Of War that can help the United States. This is Sun-Tzu's repeated emphasis on the "unorthodox" or, as we prefer to call it today, unconventional warfare. We must, from a high-level strategic view, look at this current global war as combating an enemy who fights in a completely unorthodox manner, and we must fight him the very same way, but more cleverly and more effectively. We must use our full military and intellectual arsenal as a super power to bring victory sooner rather than later. And this can be done only with a specific endgame in mind, and with a corollary commitment to victory.

Drawn from the conflation of thought that crystallized as Taoism, the ancient strategist observes: "...in battle, one engages with the orthodox and gains victory through the unorthodox." In an especially complex passage, Sun-Tzu discusses how the orthodox may be used in unorthodox ways, while an orthodox attack may be unorthodox when it is unexpected. Taken seriously by our strategic planners, this passage could represent a subtle tool for strategic and tactical implementation, one that might purposefully exploit an enemy state's particular matrix of military expectations.

For the United States, the "unorthodox" should now be fashioned not only on the battlefield, but also long before the battle. Indeed, to prevent the most dangerous forms of battle, which would be expressions of all-out unconventional warfare, the United States should examine a number of promising new postures. These postures would focus upon a reasoned shift from an image of "orthodox" rationality to one of somewhat "unorthodox" irrationality. This is what the late American nuclear strategist Herman Kahn once called the "rationality of pretended irrationality." For now, every enemy state knows pretty much exactly how the United States will initiate and conduct war. President Obama’s recent speech at West Point disclosing US strategy in Afghanistan is a good example of naiveté. If, however, the United States did not always signal perfect rationality to its enemies - that is, that its actions (defensive and offensive) were not always completely measured and predictable - it could significantly enhance both its overall deterrence posture and its capacity to carry out certain preemption options. These same lessons now apply to diplomacy and politics, which are all too often mired in entirely predictable U.S. policies.
