At the July 4, 2014 service, at the Grand Mosque in Mosul, Iraq, (or Mosul, Islamic State), Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the trained clergyman who is leader of ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria aka Islamic State) made his first public appearance since his fighting forces seize large swathes of Iraq and declared a Sunni Caliphate comprising of conquered portions of Syria and Iraq. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has declared himself Caliph of the new Caliphate, and technically this was his first public appearance as Caliph. Caliph means “successor” to the Prophet Muhammad as the head of state of the Caliphate, a Sunni State led by a supreme religious cum political leader. It is the title for the ruler of the Ummah, the Islamic social society governed by Sharia Law. . Declaring oneself Caliph of a Caliphate is a major political, religious, social and historical event. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s event is as historically significant as Henry VIII declaring himself head of the Catholic Church in Eng

Samantha Power is the Irish born Globalized Elitist who currently serves as President Obama’s Ambassador to the United Nations. Since the beginning of his Administration, she has been the intellectual nexus of his foreign policy; as such she has wielded enormous political influence, moral guidance and power, even up to the point of governance. In all aspects of her influence, guidance and decision making, she has been remarkably, ethereally wrong. She has been celestially wrong in decision making on  Syria, Egypt , Central Africa Republic and  Libya. Ambassador Power is the archangel in President Obama’s adrift, besotted and defeated foreign policy; she is the embodiment of everything wrong about the Globalized Elite governing a proud nation.  She is naïve, but who among us does not suffer from naiveté? Her sin is not naiveté, but a lack of self awareness about how naïve she truly is; she is smug in her  naiveté , to an unconscionable degree. Her  smug naiveté denudes her

There is a cabal of Readers of this Blog who are redundant in their annoyance; they have annoyingly lobbied for the MAXEY CHRONICLES to read and review the book HARD CHOICES by Hillary Clinton. To that end, they even sent this  Blogger a copy of said book.  This Blogger attempted to read HARD CHOICES but failed to finish HARD CHOICES. HARD CHOICES commits the sin of being self serving, sobeit, a lot of biographies are self serving. What is worse, HARD CHOICES makes the mistake of being BORING. How boring is it? MOBY DICK is livelier; in truth reading everything you never wanted to know about whales in MOBY DICK is livelier than reading HARD CHOICES. When this Blogger conveyed his failure to finish the book to his annoying Readers, they asked for a compensatory Blog, a prognostication on the viability of Madame Clinton’s preordained Presidency. The odds of Madame Clinton winning the Democratic Party’s nomination for President are 90% to 10%. The odds of Madame Cli

On June 14, 2012, I published this:” By their deeds and actions, President Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Irish Born Globalized Elitist  Samantha Power thought and think that Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a “moderate” Islamist. THERE ARE NO MODERATE ISLAMISTS, just patient ones. Mr. Erdogan is a shrewd, patient dictator in the making, who longs to be a Caliph, in a restored Sunni Caliphate, anchored in a restored Ottoman Turkey. To believe anything else is reckless naiveté...GERRY MAXEY" Mr. Erdogan once said that democracy is like a streetcar, one can get off anytime.  Two years after my analysis, it  seems that Mr. Erdogan is becoming impatient, ready to jump off the streetcar of democracy. In his impatience, Mr. Erdogan has become more than shrewd; he has become Machiavellian. So Machiavellian that he almost involved Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Barack Obama and the United States in an unjustified war in Syria. Mr. Erdogan’s p
