The Other 9/11 Attack: Battle of Vienna in 1683

The Battle of Vienna (Die Schlacht am Kahlenberg; Bitwa pod Wiedniem)—one of Europe's most epic battles—began on the early morning of Sunday, the 12th of September 1683, after a 60-day siege of the city. The city walls were crumbling and the Ottomans were preparing to take the city, when on the night of 11 September Jan III Sobieski arrived, as if by Providence, with thousands of fresh troops. A few hours later, at 4 AM, the battle began.

During the battle, 30,000 Christian hostages were executed by the Ottomans. But the combined forces of the Holy Roman Empire and Poland-Lithuania (supported by various other European states and peoples) defeated the Ottoman Empire, inflicting 40,000 Ottoman deaths.  At the end of the battle, Polish General Jan III Sobieski led a charge of 18,000 horsemen—the largest cavalry charge in history—causing the Ottomans to finally retreat.

Vienna was saved. Sobieski, paraphrasing Julius Caesar, later said: "Veni, vidi, Deus vicit" ("I came, I saw, God conquered").

The battle marked the end of Ottoman expansion in Europe. Had the Ottoman's won, it would have meant the conquest of Central Europe, from which the Ottoman's would be able to conquer the rest of Europe. The victory was followed up by Prince Eugenio di Savoia's (Duke of Savoy) reconquest of Hungary, which had earlier been taken by the Turks.

To commemorate the victory at Vienna, 12 September was declared a universal feast in the Church – Feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary.

Democrats & Republicans

Thought food....

  

DEMOCRATS & Republicans,

  We read all the jokes & forward the good ones but, I just wonder who will pass this one on.

How about you sending it on, & back to me, if you have enough 'chutzpah' to do so. I do. And, I wonder just how many I'll get back?

Someone please tell me, what's wrong with all the people that run this country ! 

 

Both Democrats and Republicans 
They Say,"We're broke" 

And can't help our own Veterans,  Seniors, Orphans, Etc.,? 
But, over the last several years, THEY 
have provided direct cash aid to. 

Hamas - $351 M, 
Libya $1.45 Billion , 
Egypt - $397 M, 
Mexico - $622 M, 
Russia - $380 M, 
Haiti - $1.4 Billion, 
Jordan - $463 M, 
Kenya - $816 M, 
Sudan - $870 M, 
Nigeria - $456 M, 
Uganda - $451 M, 
Congo - $359 M, 
Ethiopia - $981 M, 
Pakistan - $2 Billion , 
South Africa - $566 M, 
Senegal - $698 M, 
Mozambique - $404 M, 
Zambia - $331 M, 
Kazakhstan - $304 M, 
Iraq - $1.08 Billion , 
Tanzania - $554 M, 

A total of $14,933,000,000 that's 14.933 BILLIONS , of Dollars 
& they all still hate us!  

But, on the other hand, 

OUR MILITARY IS BEING CUT, OUR SOLDIERS ARE HAVING THEIR BENEFIT'S CUT & THE GOVERNMENT'S GONE BACK ON ITS PROMISE OF FREE MEDICAL CARE & DENYING DISABILITY TO THOSE PHYSICALLY & MENTALLY TORN APART, FOR NO GOOD REASON, IN POLITICAL WARS!

  Our retired seniors, living on 'fixed incomes', have their taxes raised, to send to these countries, & also, are having medical benefits cut.

 

Our own citizens receive 

NO aid , unless they're the ones who 
refuse to work, & have babies for welfare payments! 

Nor do the seniors & working public get any breaks, while our government & religious organizations will pour 
Hundreds of Billions Of dollar's, & Tons of Food, to Foreign Countries & the illegals, & the leeches within our borders!

AMERICA: A country where we have   
Our brave warriors, damaged for life, 
waiting in year long lines for their due, 
the elderly going without needed medication, & the mentally ill without treatment, & for all of us, our safety is at risk, because   prisoners are being released, back onto the streets, due to "lack of funds " etc.

& YET .

They'll have a "Benefit Show" For the people of Haiti, on 12 TV Stations; with ships & planes lining up with food, water, tents, clothes, bedding, doctors 
& medical supplies.

Now Just Imagine, if 

Our own *GOVERNMENT* gave 'US' 
the same support they give foreign countries.

George Soros - The Puppet Master of Radical Leftists

$6.4 Million from Soros Behind Legal Battles for 3 Conservative 2016 Contenders

Liberal billionaire funds groups trying to get potential presidential candidates recalled, indicted.

The media should be reporting on this, but they consistently ignore it.

Legal battles against state governor’s with higher political aspirations keep cropping up. But looking deeper into attacks on Republican governors from Texas, Wisconsin and Louisiana reveals George Soros’ checkbook was behind it all – but the news media aren’t about to point that out.

The group that first filed an indictment charge against Texas Gov. Rick Perry was funded by Soros, the liberal billionaire, but the trail of his money didn’t end there. Both the recall election for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and an even less successful recall attempt for Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal were rooted in Soros-funded groups. Among them, these three potential Republican presidential candidates were targeted by groups receiving more than $6.3 million from Soros.

The media should be reporting on this connection, but so far they have completely ignored it. None of the broadcast news coverage of Walker’s recall election or Perry’s indictment on ABC, CBS or NBC have mentioned Soros. Attempts to recall Jindal weren’t mentioned by the networks, although left-wing outlets like The Huffington Post tried to promote them.

Soros Joined Unions to Recall Scott Walker

Walker’s 2012 recall election made national headlines, before he won reelection by a wider margin than he had won his original election.

Walker’s troubles began when he limited the bargaining power of unions. Predictably, this angered the AFL-CIO – and a Soros-funded network of liberal groups that the Wisconsin branch of the AFL-CIO was a part of. This network, dubbed America Votes, got at least $2.14 million from Soros in 2006 alone. Besides the AFL-CIO, America Votes includes the Human Rights Campaign (which had gotten $600,000 from Soros) and the American Federation of Teachers (which got $31,853).

And the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. Soros’ son Jonathan also donated $5,000 to Walker’s opponents. Jonathan is vice chairman and director of the board for the Open Society Foundation.

Common Dreams and Workers Independent News worked to promote this recall, as did other Soros-funded media outlets, including Mother Jones ($485,000) and Alternet. They were among the first to report on the recall threat. All four of these organizations are also members of the Media Consortium. The Media Consortium has received $675,000 from Soros since 2000.

Yet, in all the network news coverage of Walker, America Votes was never mentioned.

Soros Groups Try and Fail to Oust Governor Jindal

Jindal, the Republican governor of Louisiana, also faced recall attempts, including one in June 2014. That recent attempt to garner support for his recall took the form of a petition on the liberal petition site MoveOn.org. Soros gave at least $1.46 million to MoveOn.org. According to its website, MoveOn works to pass “progressive laws.”

Even MoveOn.org acknowledged the Soros connection, although they thought it was important to make excuses for it. According to MoveOn.org, “George Soros gave a sizable donation to MoveOn Voter Fund in 2004 to match the donations coming from small donors aimed at stopping President Bush's horrible policies. He hasn't given since and MoveOn's Voter Fund, a 527 organization, was closed down after the 2004 election.”

Only two governors in U.S. history have been successfully recalled: Gray Davis, D-Calif., in 2003, and Lynn Frazier, R-N.D., in 1921.

Governor Perry’s Indictment Attempt Started by Soros Group

Texas Governor Rick Perry is just the latest political target of George Soros’ network. Perry was indicted by a Texas grand jury for vetoing funding for the state’s public integrity unit, unless the lead prosecutor resigned following her drunk driving arrest. 

Texans for Public Justice, one of the groups behind Perry’s indictment charges, is part of a “progressive” coalition that has received $500,000 from Soros. Besides Texans for Public Justice, this coalition included Texans Together, the Sierra Club, Texas Legal Services, La Fe Policy Research and Education Center, Public Citizen, and the Center for Public Policy. 

Ironically, Texans for Public Justice (TPJ) listed “Exposing ‘Dark Money’” as one of its top initiatives in its 2013 annual report. This same report acknowledged TPJ’s attempts to discredit Perry, noting that “TPJ filed a formal complaint against the governor over his threats to veto the budget of the Travis County Public Integrity Unit, which prosecutes political corruption. A special prosecutor has been assigned to investigate TPJ’s allegations and potentially present them to a grand jury.”

In addition to Soros’ Open Society Foundations, TPJ listed the liberal Sunlight Foundation as one of its donors.

Since news broke of Perry’s indictment on Aug. 15, none of the network morning or evening news broadcasts have mentioned the Soros connection, or even the group Texans for Public Justice.
