Barack - Honest or Just Playing Muslim's Worldwide?

A couple days after okaying the killing of dozens of Muslim alleged terrorists, President Barack Hussein Obama gave his first formal interview to Al-Arabiya (Saudi Arabian television, known to be less radical than Al-Jazeera). Obama made it clear he respected Muslims and only would kill "bad" ones. Meanwhile Obama has his envoy, half-Lebanese George Mitchell, flying about "listening" to all the parties. Nice touch. Maybe he's trying not to aggravate the Israelis before their increasingly right-wing and aggressive voting populace chooses between the murderous Kadima Party currently in power and the genocidal Likud Party. Once that election is over, it will be interesting to see if Obama will be willing to put the screws on Israel and its American lobby, as I've suggested below. Here's the interview.

Update:Justin Raimondo probably has it right when he writes in The Mailed Fist and the Velvet Glove: Even as he was speaking, American drones were snuffing out lives and his generals were planning a wider war. That seems to be the signature Obama style: cool, calm, and collected as he talks out of one side of his mouth, while he's giving the order to kill out of the other. If that doesn't scare you, then you've probably had a little too much of that sweet-tasting Obama-brand Kool-Aid.

Obama kills his first 10 Muslims

Suspected US missile strike kills 10 in Pakistan: ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) — Missiles fired from a suspected U.S. spy plane killed 10 people Friday in Pakistan just east of the Afghan border, a lawless region where al-Qaida militants are known to hide out, security officials said.

How many points does Obama loose out of a hundred for this one? Assuming he doesn't condemn it as unauthorized, 10, one for each death. Going down quick, Barack Hussein....

This January 20 hopeful protester whom I know very well is probably very disappointed. See more photos from this event here.

Giving the Washington Post hell for Bad Gaza Reporting!!

I guess I didn't get the email on this protest. Or maybe they didn't mention the fun part, throwing defective merchandise on the Washington Post steps because of its lousy coverage of Israel's murderous attacks on Gaza! Organized by ANSWER.

OBAMA! Free Palestine, Legalize Pot & Permit Secession

Update 1/22/09: I liked those themes so much I put them in my video of the inauguration - up about as close as you could get without a ticket!

PRESIDENT OBAMA, FREE THE PALESTINIAN CAPTIVES

It took Lincoln two whole years to declare the Emancipation Proclamation to free the slaves. Obama can free the Palestinians captive in ghettos and refugee camps much sooner. Set to Lincoln's favorite song, the video lists six ways to do that (below), and includes former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney speaking at a rally, as well as rally photos. Send this to Obama at Change.Gov and tell him that saving the Palestinians just might prevent nuclear destruction of America - as the video points out.


1. cut off all United States government financial and military aid to Israel

2. stop defending Israel’s many crimes before the United Nations

3. support property rights world wide, including for Palestinians; they have the right to return to the lands and homes taken from them over 60 years

4. don’t prosecute Americans who boycott Israel; have that law repealed

5. register Israel lobbyists as Foreign Agents; they should not be bribing and bullying representatives who are supposed to put the safety of Americans first

6. work for nuclear disarmament. Israel’s “Samson Option” means 400 nukes are pointed at Arab and Muslim cities and oil wells and at Russia - which has 2500 nukes pointed at us.

Little Rockets Earn You Big Fat Bombs; 13 vs 1100 dead....

These photos are just a few of those at StopTheWarNow that compare the thousands of loud by largely ineffective homemade rockets Palestinians trapped in Gaza shoot out at Israel in foolish acts of defiance. All they earn is massive bombing and 75 plus deaths of men, women and children a day from Israelis intent on keeping every acre of land they've taken in 60 years; Israel intends to take more land, meanwhile making Gaza and the West Bank unlivable for Palestinians so they'll leave it. Hasn't worked yet, has it Israel?

SMALL ROCKETS VS. BIG BOMBS


MINOR V. MAJOR DESTRUCTION

13 DEATHS V. 1100 DEATHS
WILL OBAMA STOP THIS MADNESS?? FIVE MORE DAYS WILL TELL....

This is what Israeli massacres to support colonization look like....

Dead Palestinian mother and two children killed by Israeli bombs in Gaza December, 2008. More at Palestinian Mother's web site.

It's wrong to bomb refugees in ghettos and camps....

I think Israel supporters are naive to think that starving and then slaughtering people in Gaza will not lead to at least suspicion of Jews who support this attack, at least among the 99.5 percent of the world who isn't cheering on the killing of Arabs out of bigotry! And many people's rage against the attack will turn into bigotry against Jews. You don't need to be a psychiatrist to figure that out.

And it just becomes common sense after a while that the Israelis are acting like the Nazis, much as they hate that comparison. When you lay siege to a territory, effectively deny them the right to leave to work or seek medical attention (under threat of not being allowed to return), refuse to allow them to import adequate food and medical supplies, and fire indiscriminately at innocents under the slightest pretext, what do you call that territory? A ghetto, a camp - or even a concentration camp?

Above is a photo of ruins of Warsaw Ghetto after the Nazis blew it up block by block to destroy Jewish resistance. Nazis killed thirteen thousand Jews, mostly noncombatants, during the battle. The Nazis certainly did not allow them food, water or medical supplies.

How many noncombatant Palestinian men, women and children will die during this politically motivated attack on Gaza? Olmert's party knows it can't stop the HAMAS rockets - which HAMAS claims are defensive - without a decent settlement with the Palestinians. However, Olmert's Kadima party can use the attack to win the next election over the even more vicious Netanyahu!

The Israelis are averaging 50 kills a day - with 40 seeking shelter today killed by Israeli tank fire at a United Nations school. Certainly more than thirteen thousand have been killed during Israel's 60 years of aggressive land grabs and ethnic cleansing and 60 years of attacks on militants with little thought to the deaths of innocents.

I'll let the photos below from White House Protest express my disgust.

"Imagine No Countries" brings in a another Times Square New Year

Last year I reported on the Times Square 2009 ball drop: "The last song playing in the background over loud speakers in Times Square? John Lennon's "Imagine" - coincidentally (?) a theme of this blog..." Guess what? They did it again!! This time I caught part of it videotaping the television and made a fun short video! (Yes, that is views of the Dakota and "Strawberry Fields" in NYC in the beginning.)
