The Litvinenko Affair Continues...

Last week UK authorities issued an arrest warrant for Andrei Lugovoi, a "former" Russian KGB/FSB officer in the Polonium assassination of Alexander Litvinenko.

The implication is that the British government, regardless of diplomatic costs, places the blame for Litvinenko's demise squarely at the feet of the Kremlin. But why would Russia have gone to the extreme of radiological terrorism to eliminate Alexander Litvinenko, who had thus far been a relatively unknown Kremlin critic?

It is the answer to this question that is of the utmost significance.

J.R. Nyquist hints at the reason in his latest article, "Russian Motives". Specifically, however, Litvinenko's spectacular assassination was to sow fear into the hearts of all those Russian insiders who might think to expose the Kremlin's underhanded tactics aimed at ultimately destroying the West.

Alexander Litvinenko revealed one of the most disturbing points regarding Russian pursuits, i.e., that al Qaeda is nothing more than a Kremlin proxy for attacking the West. I believe it was for exposing this truth about Moscow's machinations that Litvinenko paid his life.

After exposing Russia's connection to al Qaeda, I got in touch with him and ran "The Litvinenko Chronicles" for the remainder of 2005, before the former FSB agent went silent for fear of his life.

Have A Blessed Memorial Day Weekend!

As friends and families gather together in America this weekend to celebrate Memorial Day, let us hold dear the meaning of this special occasion. The time that we enjoy, to live freely in a land of plenty, came at the expense of countless lives laid down on the battlefield of liberty's struggle. Without that sacrifice at the altar of freedom, we could not have what we today enjoy.

God bless the souls of those who laid down their lives for our liberty and let the Lord look after the souls to come of those who shall perish battling that Your will be done to bring freedom to all mankind.

Let us be reminded that the struggle for freedom is not yet done. To the contrary, the greatest, most trying stage of the conflict lies directly ahead.

From the East a tempest approaches that will destroy America, and lay siege to the altar of freedom. The world will be confronted with a stark choice....to submit to the tyrants who deceived and then destroyed the free world or to resist the enemies of liberty at all costs.

For those who are ready to wage the latter battle, I stand ready to lead the charge...

TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.

- William Butler Yeats
