USA Spending will kill the People under 250K.

The above link is to a newsletter that I get in my e-mail.  I do not endorse any product nor recommend any product that you may be able to click to on the page.  But I do think that the writer of the newsletter explains very well the potential crisis USA is facing if we do not carry out the Ryan Plan.  Representative Paul Ryan is doing us a patriotic service is authoring this plan for a financially strong USA.  We need to support the Ryan Plan through this Congress by e Mailing our representatives and especially our Senators to demand that the Paul Ryan plan be brought onto the floor of the Senate for vigorous and honest debate.  Senator Harry Reid has stated that the Ryan Plan is dead on arrival.  Who the hell is this man? Is he the dictator of the Congress?  Does he have the right to refuse a bill from the House of Representatives, calling it dead on arrival?  It seems that he does and this is wrong.  If the will of the 495 congressman can be stopped by the procedural tactics of one Senator, then the people must object and demand the bill be placed before the full Senate for consideration.  Let John Mc Cain stop running to Libya to support a ragtag group of disgruntled former army officers and stay home. Let Mc Cain take to the floor and the lobby and the offices of the Senate to demand debate on the Ryan plan instead of globetrotting in support of increased USA aggression against Libya.  Friends, we really need to get strict with our elected representatives and require them to stay on the job, in the Congress and get things done.  Also with the Prez. and not have him campaigning all the time on our dime.  He needs to sit at his desk and get the job done.  Does he ever sit at his desk or is it all B Ball, golf, and nightly disco parties with the elite contributors?  For a man of the people, Obama hangs around with a gang of powerful Corporate and Union rich people!

Will US Dollar Crash?

http://www.thedailycrux.com/content/7513/China/rss

I get this in my e-mail and just wanted to share it with all of you.  It is very worrisome because if the world of nations agree with the Chinese that there  should be a change to the Yuan from the Dollar then the USA is in a terrible world of hurt.  Why?  Because as of now, the world is forced to trade in dollars.  Therefore, if any nation wants to buy oil it must convert its currency into USA dollars first.  We make a little money on that.  Also, we already have dollars so if we need more oil we simply print more dollars.  We are in the power position.  But because the Obama administration does not understand world economics, and because the President himself will not curtail his spending ways, the USA is burdened with a crushing debt in the trillions of dollars.  This is causing the dollars to decline in value and become destabilized.  A devalued and unstable dollar is frightening world financial leaders who are increasingly talking about changing the world standard with a new one, the Chinese Yuan being the key ingredient.  If this happens then the USA will be forced to buy Chinese currency in order for us to deal on the world market.  Effectively, overnight, the USA currency becomes much less valuable.  That is why the Ryan Plan in congress is the most important piece of legislation available to USA citizens.  Contact your congress person and insist on a debate of the Ryan place, and definitely demand that your Senator force Harry Reid to bring the Ryan plan to the floor of the Senate for an honest open debate of it’s many merits.

USA Not “AT WAR” with Libya!

This is a key issue, no doubt, but an even more serious issue is that President Obama and the Obama administration are carrying out an illegal war in Libya.  I deal with this issue on my Word Press blog, “progressive politics” where I have expansive coverage.  In essence, the Obama administration did not come to congress when they volunteered to breech the sovereignty of a Sovereign Nation.  Libya is recognized around the world as a legal State in the community of nations.  It does not matter to the international community that Libyan leader Gaddafi is the “head of the revolution”, which is his self styled moniker.  Rather, as recently as last week, the international community recognized the right of the government in Tripoli to appoint ambassadors. The case I am speaking of occurred in Stockholm.  The Swedish ambassador from Libya sided with the ragtag rebels against the central government of Libya.  The Libyan government under Gaddafi sent a replacement.  The Swedish government recognized the replacement and disenfranchised the rebel ambassador.  Why does this mean anything?  Because it recognizes the present government of Libya as the legal government of Libya.  So, now on to the USA, France and Britain.  Under the guise of resolution 1973 from the United Nations, the Obama administration has declared “Regime Change” as its’ official policy when President Obama stated that “Gaddafi must go”.  Then under the cover of the U. N. resolution 1973 to “…use all means to protect civilians in Libya”, the USA, France and Britain decided that the rebels were civilians and needed to be protected, while the uniformed legal army, navy and air force of Libya were “agents of the dictator” and therefore were to be attacked and destroyed using NATO military power.  Then using brutal military force the NATO partners invaded the air space of Libya, bombed its cities, attacked it army, civil governent and killed it’s civilians.  All of this under the guise of delivering humanitarian aid to the people of Libya.  Since when is humanitarian aid delivered on the tip of 212 cruise missiles? Since it’s inception, this invasion has been a war without a declaration of war.  Many bloggers claim that the United Nations resolution 1973 allowing nations to use “…all necessary force” against Gaddafi is legal for USA forces.  Not so, the Congress must approve such expenditure of USA military power on foreign adventures against a sovereign nation that has neither attacked us, nor our embassy, nor held our people hostage.  Other bloggers have stated that Gaddafi is a legal target since he is the head of state of a nation with which we are at war.  However, the USA is not at war with Libya since only the Congress of the USA has the constitutional power to declare war.  Yet others, have said that under the understanding of war crimes coming out of WW II and the Nuremberg Trials, plus the Geneva Conventions, and the USA Rule of Land Warfare manuals, USA forces are allowed to attack, destroy and render inoperative the military, civil and legal forces of a nation with which we are at war.  However, we are NOT at legal war with Libya.  Therefore, I submit that the whole operation of the USA against the internationally recognized government of Libya, (a member nation of the United Nations)   is inherently illegal according to USA law,( no Congressional Declaration of War); according to UN law, (which declares that the military forces of members states will not be used to overthrow the governments of other member states), according to the Nuremberg Trials that declared that the military and civil leaders of Germany were criminal aggressors because they invaded another nation (Poland) under the pretense of attack (Russia too?) and according to the USA Rule of Land Warfare that recognizes that a Nation State that is not in a declared war with another Nation State and nonetheless unilaterally and with itself NOT being attacked, attacks, is a criminal aggressor!

Next American Boots on the Ground in Libya

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20110420/wl_nm/us_libya_gaddafi_2 So when we read this article we realize the following:

1. We should never have attacked the independent Nation of Libya.

2. The State department is in favor of American boots on the ground in Libya.

3. There is administration plan to get the UN and not the USA Congress to approve our use of American soldiers as “boots on the ground in Libya”

4. Obama CIA advisor says in this article that the USA must be part of a boots on the ground effort to oust Gaddafi from power in Libya and that this CIA advisor thinks it will easy and then we can merely and simply hand off the occupation of Libya to Pakistan, Turkey and Indonesia.

5. Key to all of this will war hawk Senator McCain warmongering among the House and Senate Hawks to get into a ground war in Libya.

Please write your congress person and Senator opposing Boots on the ground in Libya.

Rand Paul Calls Obama Out

http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul665.html

Many people are questioning the wisdom of electing Barrack Hussein Obama to be President of the USA.  People like Sean Hannity and Mark Levin say that Obama is a Socialist.  Rand Paul says Obama is a Corporatist.  That’s worse.  It is a unholy alliance Qbetween corporate interests, the civil government and the military.  It means that for Philips petroleum and the others to be able to get the worlds oil, we muat lie, chet and steal; and we must lie to our people and to the world in order to gain illegal control of anotehr natssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

Boots on the Ground. No Surprise

http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20110419/wl_time/httpglobalspinblogstimecom20110419withbritishmilitaryadvisersheadedtobenghazifearsoflibyamissioncreepgrowxidrssfullworldyahoo

They are doing what they intended to do all along.  USA must get out of this crazy adventure by a war mongering France and Britain.  On this site we have not played up the oil thing but it is becoming obvious that oil poor Britain and oil starved France are willing to use humanitarian assistance lies in order to gain access to and actual control over the largest oil reserves in that area.  So big oil is behind these governments.  This fits into the kind of Corporatist mentality of Obama that U.S. Senator Rand Paul is talking about elsewhere on this blog.  The problem of the Corporatist mentality is that it hides behind social progress which it uses to mislead the citizens.  While this propaganda is being broadcast by a compliant media, the administration is secretly dealing with corporation leaders to seize control of the major sources of wealth such as oil.  Eisenhower pre-shadowed this problem when he talked about the dangers of secret cooperation between the military and corporations.  In the Corporatist model of Obama the military, the corporations and the civil governments are in cooperation to gain extra ordinary and international power for themselves.  I know this sounds like conspiracy theory but the lies are now revealed by the behaviors of the NATO military alliance.  First, act shocked about organized turmoil in the target State.  Second, prepare the public by using media outlets to put forth photos and stories of the terrible human suffering.  Third, act righteous and morally indignant while secretly dealing to take full advantage of the crisis.  Fourth, bypass legal problems from the legislatures of your nation by appealing to the “New World Order Governments” such as United Nations.  Fifth, have all inclusive wording such as UN Resolution 1973 has where it says to use ALL means to protect civilians. Sixth, use that all inclusive language to extend your aggression against the target government.  Seventh, define the anti- government forces as “civilian” and therefore “good guys”  while defining the legal government forces as “military” and therefore the “bad guys.”  Eighth, send in advisers as “boots on the ground ‘teachers'”  Ninth, follow up with “rescue” troops to evacuate “civilians”  And do all of this while secretly  arming the rebels and supplying  them the logistical, tactical and strategic means for winning against the government but at the same time INSISTING to the world that you are not doing what is plainly obvious, depending on a weak, compliant and compromised media and press to support your illegal actions.  Really, doesn’t this sound  like the Colonialists and Imperialists of the Ninetenth century, and the Fascists and Hitlerians of WW II, and the Communists of the Cold War era?

Yes, Let’s Trust the Libyan Government and Stop the Criminal Aggression

http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheat-sheet/item/gaddafi-free-elections-after-conflict/letting-up/?om_rid=NsgG76&om_mid=_BNrtDtB8adH4Jo

Yes, let’s take the chance.  (PS) I will comment on this article later today.  Here’s the short form,  How can we say to the Libyan Government that we are sincere when no matter what they do, we continue to support and arm and train and now have boots on the ground advisors teaching the rebels how to defeat the government?  The western nations are being hyper hypocritical here and I wonder why Russia is allowing it?  What is the secret deal the Russian President and Russian Prime Minister have cut with NATO.  The Russian complicity and the German complicity in this blatant grab for oil is disgraceful.  And we thought that the Germans and the Russians had reformed and were now the good guys.  Wow, are we dumb!

Libyan War is Really Ugly Western European Aggression.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110419/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_libya_islamic_warrior

The Aggression of the Western Colonialist Imperialist powers of England and France is criminal.  I know that my readers are bored with this topic but the criminal French and English will not stop.  The constant refrain from NATO is that they are protecting civilian rebels.  Well, rebels are not simply civilians.  These are people who are not a recognized army, fighting against the central Libyan government.  Might we all at least have the integrity to admit, that we are attacking the legal army and government of Libya?  So let’s stop the murder that we deliver at the end of  50 caliber bullets, and twenty ton bombs and at least 212- that’s right! two hundred and twelve CRUISE missiles.  That is not humanitarian aid.  By the way, when was the last time anyone heard of a Libyan government aircraft attacking anybody?  The aircraft are mostly destroyed and the no fly zone is totally and completely secured.  Again, please write your congress person and stop the USA participation in the killing of innocent people, the killing of the legal soldiers of a sovereign state, (which I repeat is an act of terrorism and criminal aggression because the USA is not in a declared war with the nation of Libya.) Our military leaders  are obeying illegal orders to attack across the borders of a country that is at PEACE with the USA…let the Congress tell the USA military that we will not replace the 212 CRUISE missiles. Let us tell our navy we will not replace the bombs.  Let us tell our army we will not replace the ammo for the A-10 gunship.  That is the kind of talk our military leaders understand and maybe if they cannot get any more of our tax dollars for their pet war in Libya, then they will stop obeying the illegal orders to attack a nation that is at peace with the USA.

Peace in Libya Possible

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110413/ap_on_go_ot/uc_us_libya

It will take courage for the Obama Administration to admit error.  This writer does not think that the President has it in him.  But there is always hope.

The war in Libya can be stopped.  How?  Obama just needs to order it to be stopped.  It really is that simple.  Since the US Congress has been diverted onto the Budget issues, Obama has been given a pass on the illegality of the continued war, and he has been given a free hand in continuing the war.  That is really bad, and a shame.  But there is a war and we need to face it.  Secondly, a lot of innocent civilians ARE being killed by NATO and USA aggression.  Thirdly, a lot of loyal Libyan government troops are being slaughtered by A-10 American anti personnel Gattling guns.  Fourthly, enormous destruction of the buildings, infrastructure and operational government of Libya has been caused by “sightless” bombing of NATO and USA.  Come on folks!  We all know that humanitarian aid is not delivered by Cruise missiles.

The French and The British tried to fool the USA into thinking that Libya was in a state of civil war against Gaddafi.  They further tried to topple the Libyan government by using the ruse of humanitarian support for beleaguered civilians.  The early days of UN sanctioned support have given way to lesser USA support and a worldwide rejection of the British and French lies.  The Libyan people were not in general uprising against their government.  The rebel army was a motley crew of ragtag insurrectionists, disgruntled former army officers, and Al Qaida operatives. The Libya government was not crumbling under the leadership of a maniacal dictator and the army of Libya remained loyal to the government.  Therefore, the Brits and the French want to INCREASE ground attacks against Libyan Army personnel and equipment in order thereby to topple the government, cripple Libyan domestic organization, create general hardship and disruption of security and to install an unknown, untried, and disorganized array of anti Gaddafi leaders, all of whom had previously fled the nation and were living comfortably in France and Britain while the good people of Libya tried to cooperate with the government and through processes of consistent and loyal opposition to the regime gain concessions and internal improvements to the lives of the ordinary Libyan citizen.  These efforts were recognized by both the Bush (43) and Obama administrations who sent high level diplomats to Tripoli and by a process of identifying past wrongs, (Lockerbie) the payment and the acceptance of the money payments as restitution for Lockerbie, and pledges of greater cooperation with the West and promises of increased democratic freedoms in Libya, they achieved significant progress toward promises of  measured democratic freedom in Libya. Now, by a process of criminal aggression, the Western European Nations, backed by a naive and inexperienced President, have destroyed not only all improvement, but because of their own diabolical attempt at a new capitalist colonial imperialism in Libya, have ignited fears throughout the region that they will attack other nations and destroy them as well.  President Obama is right to stay in a support role and should be bolder.  He should withdraw support for attacks against Libyan government forces because it is obvious that the general population is not in rebellion against the government.  Secondly, President Obama should respond through formal diplomatic channels to the Libyan government. He should assure them of  public and formal and not back channel diplomatic engagement.   Thirdly, the President should repudiate the “Gaddafi must go” statement and give assurances that the USA is not a party to regime change imposed by aggressive former colonial and imperialist nations. The USA should show sincerity by the  withdrawal of all special forces personnel, trainers of the rebels, secret CIA agents, and clandestine USA fighters from Libya.  Fourthly, embassy should be made to the Tripoli government with promises that build on the three points above, to include money payments by US oil interests for the rebuilding of the destroyed security and infrastructure of Libya in return for free and fair access to Libyan oil deposits.  In return, the Libyan government will agree to a gradual, guaranteed, long term process of democratization of Libya in cooperation with USA ambassadorial presence. The future efforts will be overseen by joint commissions of Libyan government and American diplomatic personnel.  This bold and courageous action by the Obama administration is imperative, if we are to stop being international terrorists ourselves.
