No outcry from the UN or the Hague or anybody. Seems to be terrible for Al Quaeda to attack USA but okay for USA to attack Pakistan everyday. Look, I hate terrorists too. I Love America. But killing is killing. That’s just a fact.

Obama Administration and US Military Engage in Terrorism-Repeatedly
http://news.yahoo.com/u-drone-strike-kills-15-northwest-pakistan-officials-033713485.html Amazing, no screams of outrage by the Left. No Washington Post, New York Times outrage. No Chris Matthews and Obermann rants against the Obama White House. All of this silence displays the mainstream media’s murderous complicity in acts of international murder against innocent foreign nationals. These same media and this administration were highly indignant when GW Bush agreed to allow waterboarding interrogation of known terrorist prisoners. All of whom are alive today. But when the Obama administration repeatedly allows the murder of what now amounts to well over fifty innocent “suspects” there is no protest and even open praise of the activity. Maybe it is true that there is no morality anymore. But for this writer, murder is murder. Also for this writer, the actions of our nation must not imitate the actions of the september 11th terrorists. I am not for the jurisdiction of International Courts. But I am amazed that the much praised International Criminal Court at the Hague does not indict the Obama Administration for criminal aggression and terrorism. Pakistan is a sovereign nation and our drones illegally transgress their national borders, and kill its citizens. Basically, these actions are the actions of a rogue State that condones and fosters international terrorism. The USA and NATO with United Nations sanctions just completed a very bloody and illegal war against the legal government of Gaddafi in Libya. The excuse for that war? We were told that they committed acts of murder against their own people. The end of that war? We toppled the Libyan central government, installed the NTC which is a French puppet regime groomed by French and British intelligence agencies and at the last, murdered the Head of State. All along we were told to remember Locerbie and the airliner bombing that killed people. Now the Obama government and the US military are killing people weekly and we are told that it is okay because the US military and the Obama government think that the people we kill are really terrorists. Amazing arrogance but much worse, these are the actions of a government that is morally bankrupt by the false notion that individual acts of terror against suspected terrorists and their families, children and neighbors resulting in their wholesale slaughter is okay because we are protecting America.
What About Hassan Nidal?
http://news.yahoo.com/awol-muslim-soldier-guilty-fort-hood-bomb-plot-205502556.html Noteworthy here is the relative swiftness of the indictment, trial and judgement. However, as is clear, although there was a serious possibility of harm to people, it was a plan and no one was killed. However, Hassan Nidal killed 13 soldiers in cold blood as they were deploying. He was himself shot and treated and is still being treated at tax payer expense while the families of the dead soldier have only their grief. The murders by Nidal were on video tape and any jury can see him actually walk up to soldiers and murder them. But what has happened? He has not gone to trial and I cannot understand why?
Obama Administration Lies Again.
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/obama-administration-denies-role-arming-syrian-rebels-232112058.html How can we ever believe the Obama Administration?! Please note that in the USA we consider the government to belong to the people. The present managers of the government are called the administration. I think this is true of Western European Democracy in general. For instance, the Queen of England is the Head of State and the Prime Minister is the manager of the government. However, the Obama administrators seem to think of themselves as being the government and the citizens as being the enemy. That is why the lie to us constantly, try to work around and not with the Congress and are persistent in undermining the foundations of our system of governing. Happily, more and more of the main stream media like the Washington Post, and the New York times are taking their journalism seriously and have stopped pandering and covering up for the first black president in US history. Now they are reporting the facts as they have always known them to be and the facts tell us a story of a government that consistently lies to its people. Jay Carney, the spokesperson for the Obama back room cronies, is constantly disingenuous and plays with words trying to tell us that gray is red and orange is really not a primary color, So what, Mr. Carney, aiding the rebels with …communications equipment that we know they will need when they have achieved the objectives we want and expect… is just a polite way of saying that we back the rebels against the government of Syria and that we are covertly Partisans in a covert operation to topple the Assad government. Are we really so self-righteous that we think we can aid and assist rebels to kill legal police, army and government officials of a sovereign nation and use bombs to cripple the Syrian national infrastructure, while claiming in public that we back UN peace plan? The legal government of Syria has every right to defend itself against outside provocateurs and instigators of internal violence in the same way that we defend against those we claim are terrorists. Would not the USA government attack those who tried by force to overthrow the Obama administration? Why does the United Nations condemn member governments that try to maintain stability within their internal boundaries? Why doesn’t the International Criminal Court in the Hague indict the USA for criminal aggression and crimes against humanity when it is our assistance that fosters, promotes and sustains criminally violent behavior? Strangely and surprisingly it is V. Putin and the government of Russia that stands as defender of the integrity and sovereignty of Syria while it is Obama and the USA that is attacking that nation with the intention of installing a puppet USA friendly government in Damascus. And as for War Hawk and Monger Mc Cain. I should think that he would abhor war since he is a victim of it. Instead, he seems to promote war and destruction at every opportunity. Shame on him.
Syria, a blockage in Obama’s Plan for a New World Order
http://news.yahoo.com/syria-holds-parliament-vote-opposition-boycotts-073812291.html The rebellion in Syria will continue because the rebels state clearly that they will accept nothing other than the fall of Assad. The article further states that the rebels regard the elections to Syria’s parliament as a sham and theat they will ignore anything that happens through the election process. It is obvious that the rebels are not cooperating in the cease-fire and they are not cooperating to bring peace and stability to Syria.
This writer agrees that the Western powers, especially NATO should not in any way get involved in Syria’s problems. I fear that the Obama administration will get very involved if Obama gets elected again. Why di I think that> It is because of Obama’s ideas concerning One World Government. It is because the President has been restrained only due to his re-election efforts. It is because of his remark to Mevedev that …tell Vladimir (Putin) that I will be unfettered after I am re-elected. This reference to being unfettered concerns Obama’s disdain and disrespect for the US Congress which he regards as an odious roadblock on his path to one world government. According to his ideas of a new world order, Obama sees the USA Congress as parochial and even meaningless. He wants the USA to be under to world order that allows the United Nations and the European Parliament to have direct influence and even legal standing in the conduct of government in the USA. Under such a one world government, the World Court in the Hague Netherlands would have subpoena power in USA, the United Nations would have legal standing so that the small arms treaty would be law here and Interpol could arrest and remove US citizens wanted by the Courts of Europe. So, I believe that in a second term President Obama work tirelessly to bring about USA subservience to International Courts, European Tribunals and United Nations mandates. In fact, he may even oversee the change of the world monetary system away from the dollar and toward a world currency denominated by the Chinese Yuan. This letter move would make the USA a Second world country fast on its way, due to Obama’s redistribution of wealth schemes, …well on its way to third world status.
But some ask, surely such a thing cannot happen in the USA. We have laws and a Constitution and an elected Congress. Yes, but our system is based on the good will and the integrity of our leaders to act according to the law and to accept with integrity the authority of legally elected officials over the central government. It is based on the concept that our Federal government officials love America, think of their job as, first and foremost, the protection of the freedoms, rights and privileges of the USA citizen and their intention, in every way to abide by the rule of law.
However, the Obama administration is evidence of a group of elected leaders who mesmerize the population with their political craft all the while undermining and fundamentally changing the way in which the government rules. The undermining was most obvious during the Obama Care process when Senators were bought and sold according to the dictates of the President. Congressmen were told that their districts would get special money if the Representative would sell their vote to the Obama people. Senators were promised as much as three hundred million dollars in federal grants to their States if the Senators would sell their votes to Obama. And all were told that what they were doing in the Senate was merely to allow the Obamacare bill to be put onto the floor of the Senate so that discussion could begin. What could be wrong with that? But as soon as the bill was on the docket all floor debate was immediately limited to a few hours and Harry Reid used his power to control procedures and the Bill was quickly rammed through. It was hard enough to shove the ObamaCare bill through using deceit, bribery and brazen power. Now try to get two thousand pages repealed! Noteworthy, is the swiftness of the federal bureaucracy to disburse the pertinent parts of the two thousand page Bill to the various federal agencies and then to implement as much as possible with lightning speed.
I deeply regret to state the obvious, but those are the methods of dictators like Hitler, Stalin, Chavez. Heretofore, the USA has not experienced such disregard for the will of the nation and its institutions. But if the Obama people are going to insure yjr implementation of their view of the world and the way they think that the USA should be in the future, he needs and will continue to need to work very fast to fundamentally change the USA. Hey, why do you think the Congress is balking? It is not about Obama the man. It is about Obama, his helpers and their plans to fundamentally transform the USA into a place where the Congress is disregarded, the Courts are circumvented, the Constitution is ignored and the New World Order instituted. But you say, not in America and not Obama! He has such a nice voice and such a pleasing smile!
I have written elsewhere on this blog concerning the deceit of the Obama administration regarding Libya. The lies were so plain that they were incredible. That is what Josef Goebbels called audacity. That Nazi leader’s creed was to tell the people a lie often enough and they will believe it. As NATO bombed (over two thousand bombs dropped on Libya) and used missiles, (over 220 cruise missiles shot into Libya) the USA administration told us that all the destruction was needed to protect Libya civilians. And then as we assisted the rebel militias with advisors and used our European surrogate to arm the rebels, we hunted Gaddafi until we murdered him. Now we are using the International Courts to ferret out all remains of the former legal Libyan government so we can try them in Netherlands for so-called “Crimes against Humanity.” But, you say, those are the bad guys and they deserved to die! Is the USA the Chicago Mafia and is Obama the Don? And are our USA Armed Forces the hit men? And our arsenal of drones the murder weapons? Are we using our SEALS as a hit squad? Is the US Air Force the weapon of political assassination? It is a frightful thing when the President of the USA can order the murder of a suspected terrorist or someone implicated in attacks against America by sending a drone to kill them. Effecient? Yes. Effective? Yes. And you say that our leaders will never use such weapons against ordinary people and surely not against the citizens of the Nation. I hated Alawaki and he hated the USA and we “took him out” with a drone. That’s called political murder.
As an American I find myself shivering to write that in the current events of today I look to Russia and to China as bulwarks against an unfettered Obama regime. Although communists, these nations were awakened from their slumber by the audacious lie which was NATO’s Agression against Libya. I believe that Putin saw the danger of unbridaled American Imperialism and along with his Communist Chinese friends decided never again to fall for the NATO and UN lie as evidenced in resolution 1973.
To be continued….
No Obama Outrage over Islamic Stonings
http://news.yahoo.com/iraq-militia-stone-youths-death-emo-style-171115804.html Granted at the outset that this story deals with the sovereign state of Iraq. Also granted that essentially these murders are none of our business. Lastly, granted that the President of the USA cannot comment upon everything that happens in our world. Yet this story is very shocking because it comes out of Iraq. It is remembered that we lost the lives of several thousand of the best of USA youth in order to secure the freedom of this Moslem Nation. It is also remembered that ten thousand of USA youth were maimed in the war to “free” the Iraqi people. Therefore, to read that this type if Islamo/nazi radicalism is once again prominent in Iraq is disheartening.
Taking all of the above items into consideration, this writer is disappointed that the President of the USA displays a very pro Islamic orientation. He apologizes for an accidental burning of a mere book, namely the Quran. Hey, it is not our problem that Moslems cannot cope with the burning of their scripture. I am a Christian and my church discards dozens of holy Scriptures yearly. The printed books are worn, or weathered, or yellowed or their covers are destroyed. As a Christian, our holy Bible is a book. It is the content and the message of the content that is holy and not the pages on which the words are printed. And while I can accept the President’s statement that he apologized in order to save lives, nonetheless, I do not hear him protesting the incident here described nor do I hear him decrying the continued genocidal bombing by Moslems of Christian churches in Nigeria.
Why is this important? This writer believes that the job of the President of the USA is to uphold the Constitution, to defend the nation against its enemies, foreign and domestic and to extend the interests of the nation worldwide. However, President Obama seems more intent on apologizing for the nation, and taking a defensive position concerning the international interests of USA.
Is USA Becoming Like Israel?
http://news.yahoo.com/israel-kills-more-gaza-gunmen-rockets-fired-israel-103107234.html
I will try to write more about this, but for now, read the article and ask the questions:
Is Israel’s blowing up the car of anti Israel militants, the same as our using drones against identified terrorists?
If the new rules of war allow such behavior, then what about armed conflict between nations? There are rules, you know!
If Newark was a nation inside of NJ how could it function?
If the nation of Newark blasted rockets over its border and killed people in Paterson, what would be an appropriate response?
What are we supposed to do concerning the lingering idea of pre emptive aggression? Pre emptive aggression is now called, as it was by Hitler and Stalin, pre emptive defense. It is the primitive notion that might makes right. Therefore, if I think you are going to hurt me and I know that you have a gun, then I am justified to go to your house and burn it down in order to prevent you from hurting me.
USA Intervention prolongs Tyrany and Prevents Democracy
It is this authors opinion that the progress of democracy is inevitable. I also believe that it is the best form of government for all people’s worldwide. Additionally, I wholeheartedly support efforts to educate, advocate and promote peaceful democracy worldwide. However, war is a terrible thing and as we learned in our own Revolution and Civil War a great many people die prematurely for something which is so inevitable that we do not need bloodshed for its achievement. And for those conservative pundits who argue with me on this, well! Have you been in the US military? Is your child in the US military? Have you been confronted with the agony of mobilization and deployment? Yes, I have and so have my children. So, before we go wrapping everything in the flag, let’s talk. Okay.
Democracy has many forms, including limited democracy such as a real monarchy, and on to parliamentary democracy and a Republic like the USA. However, there is not one form that fits all societies. A tribal system such as Libya and Iraq may not be historically, culturally or ethnically suited for USA style democracy. Rather, ethnic, cultural, religious and societal uniqueness may require that democracy be tailored to the local situation.
And I completely agree that many societies in the Middle East of our world are seeking a greater form of democratic society. However, in distinction from my colleagues, I suggest that democracy was and is inevitable in these societies and that the modern interconnected Internet world, would and will, sooner than later, achieve that democracy, worldwide. However, in many countries and societal situations the so-called “powerful” need to learn the new methods of power and government. It is my belief that they would have, and they will learn the modern way without violence, bloodshed and death. It is inevitable.
But, many object, that in the societies of the Middle East, it is taking too long. First, I ask you, if you are a citizen of the country you criticise? If not, shut up. It is none of your business and don’t spout the crap about “you are your brothers keeper”. When you leave your USA armchair and travel to the streets of the struggle and face the bullets, then maybe, and only maybe, then you will have a little right to speak. Hey, brother, please don’t tell me what I must die for. You die in my place, okay? And then, I will religiously lay a wreath at your grave. Deal?
It is this author’s opinion that much of the violence and the death happening worldwide and especially in the Mid East is caused by geopolitical aims and seeks to falsely use democracy as the excuse for the extension of a western economic imperial model that has nothing to do with the “quality of life” of the protagonists and a lot to do with the wealth and continued economic imperialism of western governments and corporations.
Rather, let’s not arm the rebels. Let’s educate them on civil organization and political reality. But, you say, that we tried that and it failed. Did it? In my opinion, it did not fail. It simply did not meet our expectations. We will need to extend our timelines and get real about what is possible now and what can only be achieved later.
Friends, I will not dictate that for which you must die. Rather, I will do everything I can to promote your freedom within the context, society and culture in which you live. In the end, the result will be the same because freedom and I believe, democracy, are inevitable.
Graham and Mc Cain War Oriented
It continues to disturb this writer that Senator Mc Cain is a very hostile person who wants war, armaments and interventionist policies to prevail. We intervened in Egypt with our President Obama saying that our long time friend Mubarak “Must go”. The result is chaos in Egypt and a military government trying to prevail against radical terrorist Muslims, and Islamic radical mobs burning Christian Churches, terrorising Christian business people and threatening to make Christianity illegal in Egypt. Then we supported the rag-tag rebellion against the sovereign government of Libya, which government was a UN member, forsworn against terrorism and nuclear armament in return for USA consideration. But our government changed from George W. Bush and Condie Rice to Barrack Hussein Obama and Hilary Rodman Clinton, both of whom reneged on USA promises, backed the UN resolution 1973 against Gaddafi, and supported the 2300 bombing raids, the 225 cruise missile attacks, and the use of the terrifying A 10 anti personnel aircraft against the legal, uniformed and legitimate military forces of the sovereign UN recognized Libyan government. The result is chaos, a weak central government and the fear that the approximately 10 to 20 thousand shoulder launched missiles of the Gaddafi government are now being funneled to A Qaeda. Hey, folks, the so-called terrorist Gaddafi and his military forces did not use those anti-aircraft, anti tank, anti naval missiles! Why not? Because they believed assurances that the UN resolution 1973 protected them against the murderous rebels. Instead, Gaddafi was brutalized and obscenely murdered, his son killed, and his supporters rounded up and quietly exterminated by the new “freedom loving??” Libyan government. The Syrian Government is also an independent sovereign State, member of United Nations and engaged in a brutal civil war. And yes, the legally constituted government and the legitimate uniformed military forces and police of that government have been brutal in suppression of the civil war. However, in the USA, it is illegal for anybody to advocate the violent overthrow of the USA Federal or State government. In fact, if such an armed conflict broke out in the USA, the penalty is death by firing squad or hanging. Such death by bullet or rope, could under a military emergency and martial law, be administered by the USA military forces in summary field executions. So, friends, before we fool-heartedly get involved in yet another illegal military adventure, let’s be honest with ourselves and tell the world, especially the Russians, that we intend to continue to foment revolution in their backyard and they had better get used to the idea. And then, when the Russians visit Mexico and try to overthrow that government, we too, had better get used to the idea. And by the way, why shouldn’t the Iranians stop selling oil to France and UK. It’s their oil from their land and if they don’t want to sell it to their enemies, France and UK, well, that’s their business. We don’t sell to the Iranians because we say that they are our enemies. So who is the hypocrite here?
Sarkozy a Phony, Libya a Crime and the World Liars
http://news.yahoo.com/sarkozy-advises-against-military-strike-iran-215253967.html This writer is made sick by this article. Now Sarkozy says that the solution to problems is Diplomacy, etc. ( see article). Before with Libya, he was all missiles, bombs, strafing, war and destruction of an entire sovereign nation called Libya. I have written extensively on this blog about the illegal criminal war against Libya and the Leader of the Revolution Gaddafi. Here I simply call attention to the travesty of international political phoniness by Sarkozy, Cameron, and Obama abetted by a superfluous but dangerous UN and its crony Security Council. The base line is this: The UN resolution 1973 was dead wrong and allowed to be gravely misused by Sarkozy, Obama and Cameron as they dropped at least 2000 bombs on the army, navy and air force of a UN member country called Libya. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is not an arm of the UN. It is a war making organization parading as a defense organization. It is a throwback to the Cold War and should be disbanded for its criminal activities in Libya. Why? Because the legal government under Gaddafi was internationally recognized as the legal government and even the new puppet regime in Tripoli agrees that all contracts signed by the Gaddafi government are legal and binding!!
The Libyan government under Gaddafi was criminally attacked by NATO forces under the excuse of protecting civilians. How were the civilians being attacked. They were not. This is plain fact. However, rebellious para military forces backed by France (Sarkozy) Britain (Cameron) USA ( Obama) and aided by Belgium (?), fought against the legal government seeking its overthrown. These para military forces were without regular military organization. They were not recognizable by a regular military uniform. Their tactics of attacking the legal government forces, facilities and jurisdictions are recognized by other governments as the actions of terrorists!! [If this was the case today in USA, the law allows the Obama administration to utterly crush the military rebellion and then to hang all its leaders as traitors. (Yes, it is illegal to attempt the forced overthrow of the USA government and the penalty for such action is death.)] Yes, the US Obama administration backed the UN resolution 1973 authorizing military force against a UN member nation. The President later did not commit USA military ground troops to the overthrow of the legal sovereign government of Libya opting instead, to providing cruise missiles, Air Force plans, Navy ships, and A-10 attack planes in order to carry out the blatantly criminal aggression against the country of Libya. In a just world, (yes, this is not a just world), the criminal aggressor nations would be indicted by the UN (really!) as aggressors. They would also be indicted by the International Court at the Hague for aggression against a sovereign nation of the international community of nations and against a legal member of the United Nations and a nation recognized as legal by 101 nations. In a just world, this writer believes that all three leaders, Sarkozy, Cameron and (Nobel Peace Prize winner) Obama would be found guilty of criminal aggression and could even face charges of genocide against the Libyan people. Hey, facts are facts and the 200 plus cruise missiles, the 2000 plus air force sorties against the legal army of Libya were all carried out without a legal Declaration of War which according to international law and the USA Manual of Land Warfare and the USA Military Code of Justice constitutes lawless and wanton criminal behavior. By the way, Gaddafi did not have Weapons of Mass destruction. He did not have and was not developing any form of nuclear weapon. He was not a military or terrorist threat to the nations of the International community. Yes, he was at one time. But that had been adjudicated by international agreement, an agreement which shamefully, was completely disregarded by the Obama administration and as far as this writer knows, was not defended by former Sec. State Condi Rice nor former President George Bush!!) The legal Gaddafi government was not killing hundreds of its people daily. It was not bombing its own cities. Its jails were not overflowing with prisoners ( look at the US jails. We cannot build them fast enough!!) Yet, the UN and the NATO aggressors were allowed to brutally attack and destroy the legal government of Libya and allowed to murder the head of the Revolution, Gaddafi. This amounts not only to brutal wanton aggression but to illegal Regicide which is an odious form of assassination. All of the foregoing is very disheartening to this writer. Why? Because the Game of Nations seem to be above the law and therefore, the drones that are aimed against our supposed enemies by the USA, can be reproduced and aimed against us. But you say that our assassination drones only murder those who are guilty. Well, that is our definition of things. But when they send their drones against us, we will be defined by them as those who deserve to die without benefit of accuser, indictment, defense and trial. But you say “they” did that to “us” on 9/11. Yes, they did, the bastards! But does that mean that we too become terrorist bastards? I hope not, but the evidence of this administration and of France and Britain point to the adage that “Might makes right.” If that is the case, than we can all despair because justice does not exist and the law of the jungle reigns supreme. PS. The Menvedev regime of Russia and the Communist regime of China could have vetoed UN resultion 1973. They did not and one thinks they felt betrayed because they objected during the brutal NATO criminal aggression but did not act. Now, it is hopeful that the Russian Confederation under Putin and the Communist Chinese government will continue to successfully veto Western aggression and NATO brutality and Genocide.
Progressive Politics
