The NATO forces are brutal aggressors against the Government of Libya. The blatant attacks against the tanks and army of the central government of Libya are criminal aggression as defined by the international Geneva Convention. The Geneva Conventions were agreed to after WWII and clearly state that the armed forces of one nation which attack the armed forces of another nation without a Declaration of War are Criminal Aggressors. The Nuremberg Trials that convicted the Nazi and the Fascists after WWII clearly state that Criminal aggression is a War Crime. No NATO nation was attacked by Libyan government forces. No embassy of a NATO country was attacked. So the attacks on Libyan government tanks, personnel carriers, and ground forces are an unprovoked attack of a terrorist nature. Additionally the Law of War which is the legal manual used by USA forces concerning the legality of offensive actions, states that it is legally wrong to violate the legal borders of a sovereign State without provocation. The Arab nations and the world have good reason to decry and denounce the French, English and Belgium forces that are carrying out these attacks. Remember that all three countries have a dark history of colonial imperialism and especially France and Belgium have a history of rapine murder and slaughter of civilians in Africa. By their own statements and policy the NATO forces are siding with a rebellion against the Libyan central government. This makes the NATO forces provocateurs, partisans, and terrorists. Write your congress person to demand a stop to this war of criminal aggression in Libya. No one can claim that humanitarian aid is being delivered by bombs, Gatling guns, missiles and the like. These things are only deliver death and destruction.

US Causes Civilian Deaths Libya
The writer of this blog is not a fan of Gaddafi, however, as I have written, the US air strikes against the government of Libya are blatant aggression. I understand that no American wants to hear such accusations against their government. But this writer feels that there is just too much go go and rha rha in support of military strikes against Libya. Every day we hear the talk shows drone on about the need for humanitarian help to the people of Libya. Well the above website tells of reliable new from the Vatican Rep. in Tripoli that the air strikes are killing innocent civilians. Also add to this tragedy, the fact that 20 thousand refugees have flooded into Italy from Libya and we see the humanitarian disaster this NO WAR really is becoming. Folks, let’s be honest, there have been hundreds of thousands of bullets fired from US fighter jets and attack helicopters. There have been 212 missile attacks against Libya. Do you really believe that no body was killed? No, but you say, that they were Gaddafi’s soldiers. Well, are the legal soldiers of the government of Libya not human beings? They are slaughtered from the air by the USA Air soldiers a nation and a people with whom the Libyan soldiers are not at war! Such behavior on the part of the USA is equal to snipers shooting at the police of New York City. Peace loving Americans should insist that the government stop this illegal war. If not, then those same peace-loving Americans should insist that we immediately accept the twenty thousand refugees into the USA-people who are refugees because of USA bombs and missile attacks.
Mc Cain Libermann Warmongering?
The drums of war beat loud and fast for some leaders. It is amazing to hear Senators Libermann and Mc Cain in full support of the illegal bombing of Libya. Today I read that Nato, ( that means American) fighters bombs Gadhafi’s home town. Now aren’t these people innocent of any crime? The article said that the bombs were dropped on his home town because the people there supported him. That is just plain immoral. The people there are free to have their political opinions. If they want to back Gadhafi that is their “constitutional” right. I mean, let’s be honest, we say we are for freedom of speech and freedom of political opinion but we bomb Libyan people BECAUSE they exercise their freedom to support whomever political leader they want to support. But it is not the leader that Obama says they are allowed to support. So, we are bombing them. Likewise, I read that we strafed and bombed Gadhafi’s troops, tanks and armored personnel for the purpose of allowing the rebels to gain control of a city and to regain control of another. A few days ago the President and his spokespeople said that it was unfair for Gadhafi to have tanks and troops and armored personnel carriers and we were going to ” level the playing field.” But now the rebels have our planes and bombs in limitless supply while we force Gadhafi forces to have no planes and we wantonly destroy his tanks and helicopters. So now, I ask, who has the unfair advantage and that unfair advantage is not even Libyan it is foreign. And even worse, it is the colonialist imperialist forces of France and England and shamefully, American. Now, on Meet the Press we even hear a Senator say that we should support the internal unrest in Syria, seek to over throw the Syrian government and if needed bomb Syria and put boots on the ground in both Syria and Libya. This writer wants to know if the good Senator thinks we should pour down bombs upon Mecca in Saudi Arabia, a tyranical monarchy and and should we also bomb Palestine a home to Hamas and while we are at it, maybe a few cruise missiles should be shot at Lebanon and Hezbollah? The warmongering of President Obama is amazingly brazen. These are American planes paid for with American dollars and American pilots on the US military payroll and Congress which is the ONLY part of the US government under the Constitution which is allowed to declare war is not even consulted!! Instead the warmongers consult NATO in Brussels, (the new world order headquarters) and the Arab league, (who the hell are they?) and the United Nations, (the historic new world order headquarters.) And what did we seek from them? We asked their permission. And once the US President got their permission our overly aggressive President told us lie and lie as he pursued a bellicose war path of wanton destruction upon the five million people of Libya, all the while denying an attempt to kill Gadahfi and declaring that our effort is humanitarian. Well, what is humanitarian about a war waged against the sovereign state of Libya? Should the USA be cavorting with the ugly colonialist imperialist regimes of England and France against an Arab nation? Well, enough said on that. Now to the outflanking of the Congress as the President takes to the public broadcasting system to force the Congress to approve his constitutionally illegal action by appealing directly to the public. I hope the people will reject the President’s facile manipulation of his power to dictate another war and one which is plainly raw aggression.
Libya really is our third war.
Today’s news reported on TV that the new estimate for the war in Libya is three months. Wow what happened to the Presidents idea of narrow objective, limited in scope and of short duration. General Franks told President Bush that the Shock and Awe campaign would be so effective that we would be out of Iraq in three months. Well, we are still there. It really stretches one’s belief to think that we are in Libya, supporting a very small group of former Libyan soldiers in an armed rebellion against the central government for what the administration calls humanitarian reasons. Let me ask you a simple question, especially all of you in support of this new aggression. If the President asked you for one thousand dollars to be sent voluntarily to support this war, would you send it or would you rather send your thousand to Japan in support of humanitarian relief to the Tsunami victims? Be honest.
Wisconsin Union Law is Fair
The passage of the collective bargaining law in Wisconsin is a vote for fairness. This new law will level the playiing field- something that is a hallmark of President Obama’s liberal agenda. It is noteworthy that this Wisconsin law will still allow the public employees to bargain collectively. However, it will limit the extravagant demands of unions so that the public sector employees will no longer be paid extra high wages in comparison to their non union counterparts. The new law will also limit the unions, thereby leveling the playing field in the area of benefits. Right now public service union members contribute zero to both their pension and the excellent health care packages. Who else gets those sweet deals? So now in an effort to share the wealth, the union members will pay about 5 % into their pension and 12 % into their medical insurance. I call that very fair and equitable. So the unions have not been stripped of their rights. Rather, in keeping with the Obama agenda they are required to play on a level playing field and to share their wealth with the people who actually pay their bills. That is the taxpayer and we are cheering the Wisconsin Governor for his vision, his integrity and for doing after he was elected what he promised to do before he was elected. He is a good and honest man and deserves to be honored. By the way, what has Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, or Michael Moore done for us. They get rich on our problems and then ask us to thank them for it. Not Me!
Ohio Law Second in a Popular Revolt Against Tyranical Unions
|
The Ohio statue for limiting the negotiation privileges of Public Employee Unions is the second in a popular and publicly supported wave for Responsible Government. The problem with having Unions for government employees is that the Unions apply their money to the support of candidates that favor them. This results in a closed and circular system. The Unions automatically support Democrat candidates who in turn are obligated to support Unions. This means that an agency of government is obligated to support a fraction of the population ad versus the rest of the non unionized population. The result is a prejudice against the non unionized in favor of the unionized. This prejudice uses favorable actions of the Executive and legislative branch to singularly favor unions and thereby exclude the majority population which is non union. This prejudice of the government in favor of the unionized means that the majority population, which is non union, is required by the law to pay for the wages, benefits and pensions of the minority. As President Obama is fond of saying, he wants to spread the wealth around. However, he is reaching into the pockets of lower paid non union workers in order to pay the higher wages, pensions and benefits that the unionized workers receive. This is unfair, since the non unionized have not voluntarily agreed to do this but are forced to pay for the unionized by legislation and the tax code. The preferential treatment of one category of people against the interests of another category of persons is coercive and it seems to this writer to be a civil rights issue. How does this play as a civil rights issue. Simply! A citizens should not be required to pay for the higher wages, higher benefits and higher pensions of another group of citizens.

Wisconsin Governor Doing a Courageous Job.
Governing is not a popularity contest. The Governor and the Government of a State should not be treated like an American Idol Game show. The Governor is doing his job as best he sees it. He wants to end the brutal downward spiral of the State’s economy, to stop the interest payments bleed which will eventually kill Wisconsin, and to bring honest accountability to government. It is amazing that there is no outcry from the media concerning the democrat representatives who have run away from their jobs. At the federal level, the last Congress of the USA faced an unprecedented show of force by President Obama. He offered legislators money, kickbacks, perks and political promises including campaign money, resources and his appearance at their rallies. Obama delivered on his promises for pork barrel spending to the Senators he purchased and he used Air Force One, the nation’s Jet to fly to dozens of rallies, (five alone in NJ) to support those he owned. The cost of the jet for one use is minimally $180,000 per one way flight. So to support NJ democrat candidates cost the US Treasury $1,800,000 taxpayer dollars! You do the math for all the Obama Campaign trips. I think he could give Wisconsin that money and solve their money problem. Oh, I forgot, we are talking about “do as I say and not as I do” Obama! Is this man ever going to stop scolding the citizens of USA? I think not until 2012 when he’s let go. By the way, during the onslaught of Obama/Reid/Pelosi, the Republicans did not run away from their jobs. Although they were totally ignored by the majority democrats, the republicans stayed, spoke out, proposed viable alternatives and valiantly tried to use the art of persuasion and sound reasoning to win the fight. Obama, Reid, Pelosi, the Unions and the bribes were too much and the democrats won the battle but as evidenced by the 2010 election, they may have lost the war.

First Tea Party in USA and then Protests In Egypt
We had our leftist terrorist riots and burnings and bombings in 1970’s. Defeated, they went “establishment” and like Ayers they also went Academic. But the rest of us stayed calm and organized. President Obama may be their man, a community organizer, who organized to bring the radical left into control of the government. But this IS America and there are fifty sovereign States, with fifty Governors and fifty legislatures. So, the rest of us stayed calm, and now we have organized behind the movement of ” Tea Party” activists who can pack the Mall in Washington, D.C. and can organize the voters in Primaries and the General Election. Let ALL elected officials beware, the police will not baton us, the Army will not quell us, because we will not riot, but we will organize, recruit and we definitely will vote. So, Senator Lugar is wrong to tell the citizens to “get real”. Who’s reality is he talking about? Obviously, at 78 years old, he thinks that his opinion and mode of operation is “real’! In fact, he thinks it is the only reality. Well, let’s prove to him that he needs to retire, as does Olympia Snow and Scott Brown, and Chuck Schumer and Harry Reid, and of course, NANCY and all the rest of the elected officials who put themselves and their personal opinions before the intent and directions of the people. We may not pitch our tents in the square before the White House, but we sure know how to get out the vote.
End Both Wars Immediately
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110217/ap_on_re_us/us_congress_spending
We gave Iraq their freedom, now let them defend it themselves. If they cannot or will not, tough luck, Charlie. As regards Afghanistan, that is a hell hole of a place. Let the Russians and the Iranians worry about it. Let’s save the 158 billion, BRING THE TROOPS HOME. Yes, they may be un employed here, ( if they leave the Army) but at least they will not die for ungrateful and arrogant Islamic cultures.
Tell Iraq where to shove it.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20110217/wl_nm/us_iraq_usa_damages
As a soldier (COL) retired who served four years in support of Iraqi freedom (stateside) I find this article appalling and a desecration to the memories of thousands of US war dead and an insult to the thousands more injured and maimed in defending the Iraqi people against themselves, their fanatical Jihadists, their human bomb terrorists and their violent culture. Instead, we demand that the Iraqi government immediately disavow this article, publically criticize those who made it and apologize to the American people for such insensitivity.
