Blagojevich trial begins Thursday June 3, 2010, Reuters articles ties Obama to trial

From Reuters.

“Among the 24 counts of fraud, conspiracy, bribery and racketeering that could land Blagojevich a long prison sentence are charges he dangled President Barack Obama’s vacant U.S. Senate seat to the highest bidder or demanded a cabinet post for himself in exchange for naming an Obama aide to the seat.”
“Another possible wild card in Blagojevich’s long-awaited trial that begins on Thursday is whether it will entangle Obama and his aides in Illinois’ hurly-burly political theater.”

    When I first read this: “Israeli Flotilla: Don’t Take Mainstream Media Coverage at Face Value”, I thought Sara Palin had it right but, she is seeing ‘Mainstream Media Coverage’ just opposite of I think they are reporting. How can somebody be so wrong, one of us is!

    BY John McCormack
    THE WEEKLY STANDARD has obtained Sarah Palin’s imminent Facebook post on the Israeli Flotilla incident. Here it is:

    Israeli Flotilla: Don’t Take Mainstream Media Coverage at Face Value

    The media, as usual, seems to be reporting only one side of the Israeli Flotilla incident. Don’t trust the mainstream media to give you both sides of a story fairly… you must seek out fair reporting to ensure you have all the information.

    As far too many in the media, and in various governments, rush to condemn Israel, we must put the recent events off Israel’s coast into the right perspective. This “relief” convoy was not about humanitarian aid, as the liberal mainstream media keeps reporting. The whole operation was designed to provoke Israel, not to provide supplies to Palestinians held hostage by Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Anyone who sees the video of Israeli commandos being attacked as they land on that ship knows the people aboard were vicious thugs, not “peace activists.” The media insults our intelligence with their outright mischaracterization of who these enemies are.

    Israel delivers thousands of tons of humanitarian supplies every week to Gaza. These ships could have offloaded their cargoes at a nearby Israeli port if they really wanted to help the people of Gaza. Instead, they chose to incite confrontation and violence. Israel has a right to prevent arms shipments to Gaza that will be used to target innocent Israelis, so they were legitimately checking the cargo on the flotilla. Turkey has chosen to condemn Israel but we should be asking some serious questions about Turkey’s role in this whole affair. Why is a fellow member of NATO sponsoring such a dangerous publicity stunt? As one expert points out: “Three ships of that six-ship pro-terror convoy flew Turkish flags and were crowded with Turkish citizens. The Ankara government — led by Islamists these days — sponsored the “aid” operation in a move to position itself as the new champion of the Palestinians. And Turkish decision-makers knew Israel would have to react — and were waiting to exploit the inevitable clash. The provocation was as cynical as it was carefully orchestrated.”

    We can only hope the Obama Administration does not join the anti-Israel chorus in the aftermath of this staged confrontation. Please, Mr. President, we need to let Israelis know we stand with them in their fight against terrorists and those who arm and support them. America and her ally, Israel, stand by waiting for your response.

    – Sarah Palin

    Here are some quotes taken from hermes-press.com.You probably have heard or read some of them already.

    “The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson.”
    President Franklin D. Roosevelt to Colonel Edward House, October 21, 1933

    “For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”
    David Rockefeller, Memoirs, 2002

    “Sarah, if the American people had ever known the truth about what we Bushes have done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched.”
    George Bush Senior speaking in an interview with
    Sarah McClendon in December 1992

    “There exists in our world today a powerful and dangerous secret cult. This cult is patronized and protected by the highest level government officials in the world. Its membership is composed of those in the power centers of government, industry, commerce, finance, and labor. It manipulates individuals in areas of important public influence – including the academic world and the mass media. The Secret Cult is a global fraternity of a political aristocracy whose purpose is to further the political policies of persons or agencies unknown. It acts covertly and illegally.”
    Victor Marchetti, The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence

    “Thank you for that wonderful tribute to Henry Kissinger yesterday. Congratulations. As the most recent National Security Advisor of the United States, I take my daily orders from Dr. Kissinger, filtered down through Generaal [sic] Brent Scowcroft and Sandy Berger, who is also here. We have a chain of command in the National Security Council that exists today.”
    Remarks of U.S. National Security Adviser James L. Jones at the 45th Munich Conference on Security Policy at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof, 2/8/09

    “There is a grand oligopoly composed of about ten leading international banks (followed by about twenty others of lesser capacities), a network of institutional investors (pension funds and collective investment funds among others) managed by subsidiaries or associates of those banks, insurance companies, and groups of major firms also largely associated with the dominant banks. This financial oligopoly is the effective chief of the fifty or hundred biggest financial, industrial, agribusiness, trade, and transportation groups.
    “The oligopoly is not governed by the laws of ‘competition’ but by a mix of competition and oligopolistic agreements—often called ‘consensus’—which is itself unstable in the sense that a moment dominated by consensus (such as ours) may be followed by a moment of ferocious competition. This would take the form of conflict among states since, although each of the units that compose the oligopoly operates on the transnational ground of the world economy, they each remain national by the adherence of their top management to the bourgeoisie of a particular state.”
    Samir Amin,”‘Market Economy’ or Oligopoly-Finance Capitalism?”

  11. A brief summary of how the media sees a crisis:

    1 The city of new orleans and the state of louisiana did absolutely nothing to prepare their levies for floods or get their people out of new orleans. No blame assigned there.
    The fault was entirely gwbushes for not swooping in and cleaning it all up pronto.

    2 move forward to gulf oil spill. BP is entirely responsible for not stopping the disaster in the first place. They bare all the responsibility.
    The fact that fearless leader said he has been in charge “From Day One” means nothing. He’s not at fault for not cleaning it up.

    Lawmakers finally get earful about global government

    The goal of the Bilderbergers, the powerful elite invited annually to a private and protected meeting from which world events are steered, is power, plain and simple, according to an author who spoke on the subject today before the European Parliament.
    (snip)
    Estulin was invited to speak to the European Parliament, considered one of the most powerful legislative bodies in the world, by Mario Borghezio, Italy’s most senior member, about what many have considered a “conspiracy” or “secretive cabal.”
    He said the members simply want to control.
    (snip)
    These people want an empire,” he said. “That’s what globalization is. … Too many people believe that in order to have an empire, you need money. You have all heard of the phrase – the money[ed] elite. But money is not a determinant of wealth and the economy. Money does not make the world go around.”

    When has he NOT?

  17. More from Madsen’s site today to SPREAD FAR AND WIDE about Rahm Emanuel and Chicago.

    June 2-3, 2010 — Rahm Emanuel: A bought-and-paid for corporate contrivance

    After WMR’s interviews with a number of White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel’s political opponents in Chicago, a picture emerges of President Obama’s closest aide that is one of a person groomed and blackmailed by major corporate interests.

    In Emanuel’s four races for the 5th Illinois Congressional District in Chicago, he spent relatively little of his own money, including the millions made as a Chicago executive for the Wall Street investment firm Wasserstein-Perella, in a largely blue-collar district that appears to be as alien to Emanuel’s personal concerns as the streets of Gaza.

    In the 2002 Democratic primary, during which Emanuel’s opponents accused him of being a dual loyalist for Israel and a carpetbagger, Emanuel’s campaign was mainly funded by Hollywood Jewish contributions. Emanuel’s brother, Ari Emanuel, is a powerful Hollywood agent.

    Each re-election campaign for Emanuel became easier. One of his House challengers told WMR, “in 2008. Rahm made no appearances, attended no debates, and aired no TV commercials. There weren’t even campaign signs around the neighborhoods of the 5th District.”

    However, Emanuel did funnel plenty of campaign money from his own political action committee to what was described as “local interests” in Chicago, as well as the campaigns of other Democratic candidates. Essentially, Emanuel’s PAC acted as a huge political money laundering machine, buying off the loyalty of Chicago area Democrats.

    Emanuel also abused his congressional franking privileges to send out campaign literature. One of his election challengers said, “he [Emanuel] used his franking privileges as an incumbent for mass-mailed ‘newsletters’ — thinly-veiled promotional materials talking about the latest wonderful thing he did for some isolated individual.”

    In 2002, Emanuel was so unknown in the 5th District, which had been previously represented by Rod Blagojevich, who became Governor, people thought because of his appearance that he was an “Arab.” Emanuel’s father, Benjamin, is an Israeli immigrant and a veteran of the Jewish terrorist organization, Irgun Zvai Leumi.

    One of Emanuel’s GOP opponents commented that “no one in the district really knew Emanuel . . . the only thing they really knew about was his use of four letter words.” Another election opponent said, “Rahm was able to buy his election at bargain-basement prices, and have a huge war chest left over for whatever comes next.”

    WMR has recently learned that while a member of the House, a major Democratic strategist and lobbyist rented Emanuel his Washington, DC condominium at below market rates. Emanuel reportedly used the condominium for trysts with his homosexual partners in Washington while Emanuel’s family remained at their home in north Chicago. The Democratic strategist in question is also a top lobbyist for BP.

  18. ISRAELI LAWMAKER: NO ARMS ON THE FREEDOM FLOTILLA

    A member of the Israeli Parliament (Knesset) who was onboard the Gaza-destined aid convoy when it came under Israeli fire dismisses allegations that the Freedom Flotilla was carrying weapons.

    Haneen Zuabi, a senior member of the Balad party, was among hundreds of activist aboard the Freedom Flotilla, which was comprised of nine ships carrying thousand of tons of humanitarian aid for the impoverished people of the Gaza Strip.

    In comments following her release in the Ashdod port on Wednesday, Zuabi disputed Israel’s claims that the ship was carrying weapons for the Palestinian Resistance Movement of Hamas.

    “Our goal was to break the siege. We had no plans for a confrontation. Israel carried out a provocative military operation. Israel is used to doing as it pleases with the Palestinians. The main problem is not the ship, but the siege.” She added.

    On Monday, commandos acting upon direct orders from Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak stormed the aid convoy, leaving at least 20 people dead and more than 50 others injured.

    The member of Knesset also said that Israeli forces were seeking to leave behind a high number of casualties…

    Listened to Madsen. Full of poop. What person in their right mind would think that they could run an Israel blockade without consequence? Israel has every right to protect themselves. If we were protecting our southern border with Mexico as well as Israel protects its citizens we’d save billions of dollars every year on handouts to the illegals, and would not have al-Qaeda wanna-be’s running the border. At least the Israelis know how to lock and load.

  20. Prairie @ 11:38,
    Wow What a load of CR*P spewing there. You need to read Brigitte Gabriel’s book, “Because they Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror warns America” to see how Israeli’s treat their enemies. They treat them way better than they deserve. It’s a really good book.

    Fernley Girl @11:41, that was good

  27. So now Madsen is a “jew-hater?” How Alinsky of you. How is it that the US defends it’s right to freedom of religion, seperates church and state, but can’t keep their nose out of the religious affairs of other countries. If Zionism is defined as religious faith (as that is the arguement being employed to label me a bigot) should it not be of concern that our government and media are under overwelming influence of one religion? According to the publication, “Jewish Achievement, 42% of the largest political donors to the 2000 election cycle were Jewish.

  28. Good morning all! Been catching up on the last couple days’ posts here…

    About the 14 Govs supposedly served arrest warrants, this info came from “Sorcha Faal,” aka David Booth, who has been around for several years now. Many people, including me, consider Sorcha Faal a disinfo agent, probably from the CIA. In fact, DHS used some of Sorcha’s postings to create their domestic rightwing terrorist list (yup, that’s you and me). Others believe Sorcha has inside info and the “truth” the msm won’t print. My opinion is that Sorcha’s efforts are intended to create fear and scatter our energies, distracting us from the real threats to our nation. My biggest worry is that people will over-react to his extreme fearmongering and give Obama a reason to implement martial law.

    We all have to make up our own minds, obviously. Here are a couple links which debunk Sorcha Faal. Take it for what it’s worth 🙂

If the US no longer defends the right of Israel, or any other country, to exist, then the US will by default have lost its own defense of its right to exist.

    B. Hussein Obama is now working with Islamists for the destruction of the State of Israel. This blog warned that a nuclear confrontation was going to occur sooner or later and now it is simmering beyond Iran.

    B. Hussein Obama could have diffused this entire situation by sending in C-130 transports and pressuring Turkey not to send this flotilla into confront the Jews. Instead he signed off on this covert Islamic operation, and now it has nuclear Israel pitted against nuclear Turkey.

    Tennbrock, U R welcome.

  40. Still think it wasn’t sabotage…………..

    Goldman Sachs sold $250 million of BP stock before spill.

    Warrren Buffet (and likely Gore etc.) buys 1.8 Million shares of the chemical dispersant company used at the Gulf before the spill.

    http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0602/month-oil-spill-goldman-sachs-sold-250-million-bp-stock/

  41. To those on here who keep harping on Israel for it’s blockade in “international waters”.

    “Blockades are quite legal. The United States and Britain were at war with Germany and Japan and blockaded them. I can’t remember international lawyers saying those blockades were illegal — even though they took place on the high seas in international waters. There would be a general violation only if the hostile actions against the ships took place in waters under the jurisdiction of another sovereign state. Thus, for example, if the Israelis stopped the ships in Egyptian waters, that would have been a violation.”

    That point was emphasized as well on Sunday night on the PBS NewsHour by Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren, who pointed out: “Under international law, when there’s a case of a military blockade against a hostile entity — and we are talking about a hostile entity … Hamas in Gaza, a country under Article 51 of the United Nations charter…has a right to defend itself. By the same articles of war, the United States blockaded Germany during World War II in the open seas. Israel was well within its international rights.”

  42. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Missile_Crisis
    The Cuban Missile Crisis was a confrontation between the Soviet Union, Cuba and the United States in October 1962, during the Cold War. In September 1962, the Cuban and Soviet governments began to surreptitiously build bases in Cuba for a number of medium- and intermediate-range ballistic nuclear missiles (MRBMs and IRBMs) with the ability to strike most of the continental United States. This action was subsequent to the 1958 deployment of Thor IRBMs in the UK and Jupiter IRBMs to Italy and Turkey in 1961; more than 100 U.S.-built missiles having the capability to strike Moscow with nuclear warheads. On October 14, 1962, a United States U-2 photoreconnaissance plane captured photographic proof of Soviet missile bases under construction in Cuba.
    The ensuing crisis ranks with the Berlin Blockade as one of the major confrontations of the Cold War and is generally regarded as the moment in which the Cold War came closest to turning into a nuclear conflict.[1] The United States considered attacking Cuba via air and sea and settled on a military “quarantine” of Cuba. The U.S. announced that it would not permit offensive weapons to be delivered to Cuba and demanded that the Soviets dismantle the missile bases already under construction or completed in Cuba and remove all offensive weapons. The Kennedy administration held a slim hope that the Kremlin would agree to their demands, and expected a military confrontation. On the Soviet end, Nikita Khrushchev wrote Kennedy that his quarantine of “navigation in international waters and air space to constitute an act of aggression propelling humankind into the abyss of a world nuclear-missile war.” Castro encouraged Khrushchev to launch a preemptive first-strike nuclear attack on the U.S.

  43. I really don’t know what’s up with Rush. First it was the Birthers, now it’s Blago.

    Listening to Rush right now… lady caller brings up Blago trial and Obama’s probable meeting with Fitzpatrick, judge, etc. I get excited, but Rush says Obama is part of the Chicago crime machine, but Rush pooh-poohs the significance of Blago/Obama connections, saying Sestak is the real story. Rush says “it’s a shame” that we have to “conjure up” these ideas, but that Obama’s trip was just to send a message to Blago. (Rush used the dead horse head in bed metaphor).

    So which is it Rush? If Blago is no big deal, then why would Obama have to send a message?

    Throughout this whole ugly Obama-debacle, no one has disappointed me more than the conservative media. I didn’t expect much from politicians or the liberal media, but the conservative media has really sunk to lows I never expected.

  44. Obama the mouth v/s Republican response.
    PITTSBURGH — President Barack Obama — seizing on the smash-mouth spirit of the Steelers — delivered his first major midterm hit on the GOP on Wednesday during a quick trip to Western Pennsylvania.
    Obama has largely been on the defensive during his spring string of reasoned, low-key “Main Street” speeches in Middle America, battling critics of his stimulus and health care efforts.
    But on Wednesday at Carnegie Mellon University, Obama went on the summer offensive, accusing Republicans of sucking up to corporations, hewing to a bankrupt economic ideology and peddling tried-and-failed tax breaks for the rich.
    House Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said in a statement, “The President gives a good speech, but good speeches can’t improve failing policies. Out-of-control Washington spending has created a massive debt, private sector business people — small and large — are preparing for additional tax increases, and the government keeps on growing.
    “All of these factors are suffocating long-term economic growth, and instead of fixing these problems, the Obama administration keeps fueling them in tandem with the Congress. To put America back on the road to long-term growth and prosperity, it’s going to take two important commitments: one to cut government spending and another to grow the private sector,” Cantor said.

    PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW
    Wednesday, June 2, 2010

    Congressmen Jason Altmire and Tim Murphy have previous engagements. Sen. Bob Casey Jr. and Rep. Mike Doyle are out of town on anniversary trips with their wives. Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato will be campaigning in Philadelphia.

    When President Obama and Sen. Arlen Specter land at Pittsburgh International Airport today, Mayor Luke Ravenstahl will receive them by himself.

    The rest of the region’s top elected officials declined White House invitations to attend Obama’s speech at Carnegie Mellon University this afternoon, their offices said.

  48. Bill Cutting @ 3:04 pm
    It’s a step, no one is above the law, the laws of our land. If I were Blago’s defense attorney I would be fighting to have all the tapes admissable. This is one of the problems they had with the Nixon tapes: Rose Marie Woods, Sheriff Joe Woods sister “accidentally” erasing the tapes. None of us Chicagoans bought that then, no one should be buying this “secrecy” garbage now. Remember how the Dems screamed bloody murder re: Nixon, same type of crime (gov’t thinking they are above the law-they are not), response should be the same.

  49. FG – let me see if I have your take on the explosive situation unfolding in the mid east correct.

    The reason is The T-Room has been following the story line for several weeks now and wholeheartedly admits this ‘Freedom Flotilla’s’ primary objective was to stop the blockade Israel and Egypt purposely erected around Gaza.

    To assume the ships would have been halted was always part of everyone’s understanding. No one I read about foolishly believed the 9 ships would happily and freely sail into the Gaza port. So, folks on board were prepared mentally and spiritually for some sort of altercation.

    That said, how does one rationalize the commando attack by Israel, at 4:00 am, under the cloak of darkness where the Marmarva was the primary ship attacked in International waters?

    Secondly, the Israeli commando’s had nine vessels full of soldiers dressed in night gear and fully equipped with tear gas, stun guns, pistols and rifles. Contrast this with the arsenal the activists had which were chairs, metal poles, sling shots with blue and white marbles and one molotov cocktail.

    Beliefs do not equal facts. Attitudes do not equal facts. We could certainly debate our different beliefs all day long BUT the facts are the facts.

    Remember, these activist’s did not seek out the Israeli commando’s in the dead of the night. They were sleeping. How dare they defend themselves with whatever chair or pole they could find.

    Lastly, 20 activists are reported dead NOT nine. No Israeli commando’s are reported dead. I guess the sling shots weren’t deadly enough!

    One last thought. Why does America support a country at the tune of billions of our hard earned money every year who has intentionally built a concentration camp around the Gazans? Why on earth is this okay with anybody? Didn’t we as a people free such souls from such camps during WWII?

    Do I have your take correct, FG?

    Sun, May 23 2010MIAMI (Reuters) – Florida’s recently ousted Republican Party chief was indicted on Wednesday on fraud, theft and money laundering charges in the latest embarrassment stemming from the party’s fundraising practices.
    “Florida Democrats said Greer’s arrest showed that new leadership is needed in the state where Republicans control both houses of the legislature, but have recently seen several members indicted or under investigation.”
    editorial note by me: Republicans could say that same thing re: DC.
    “Floridians are forced to watch the car wreck that has become the Republican Party of Florida and wonder which GOP party boss or elected official will be taken off in handcuffs next,” state Democratic Party Chairwoman Karen Thurman said.
    Greer was picked to lead the state Republican Party by Governor Charlie Crist, who has since bolted to run as an independent in the U.S. Senate race. Polls suggested the more moderate Crist would have lost the party nomination to Marco Rubio, who has strong support from conservative Republicans.

    [48] Comments
    We have always known exactly what Obama the Lightbringer really is — a colossal fraud and hapless affirmative action hire foisted upon us by the Media.
    But, in 2008, many fools believed the promises of the Media and its marketing machine so desperate to achieve the goal of producing “the historic and unprecedented first black president”. To seize the opportunity to “make history”, the Media duped the American people into giving Dr. Utopia a pass on all competence and leadership tests, instead helping him sell snake oil and unicorn rides while chanting HOPE!, CHANGE!, and O-BA-MA!
    Well, folks, this country needs a leader right now, not someone who goes on vacation every other week.
    Not someone who blames everything bad on his predecessor, while trying desperately to position himself to take credit for anything good that should accidentally transpire on his watch.

  56. The US is under the influence of Christians for the anti-semites on this site. There have been 43 Christian Presidents and 1 Muslim/Christian president. If you want to say that Jesus was Jewish and caused Christianity, then maybe you can stretch that the US is under Jewish influence. But that’s as ridiculous as the anti-semitic rants on this site.

  57. Why do we spend billions on Israel? Because they are loan guarantees that Israel then spends back in the US to help our economy which we need right now. And for the record the US and Israel are generating the most businesses and jobs in the world right now, including in the US.

    We all know Oba- mao , JJ jr. or both are on those tapes.

    They will never ever release them.

  59. Tina – take a breath. no need to get riled up.

    I ask these questions with honesty. Not for a nefarious reason. You see, I’m having the same challenge with the Israeli government, not her people, but the government as I am with my own government and not her people.

    Why do people get so emotional when it comes to anything Israel? I don’t get it. It’s a government just like any other government in the world. But when anyone raises facts and questions our undying support we are termed anti-semite. What’s up with that?

    Are you by chance one of the 12,000 bloggers hired by Israel to use Alinsky tactics on us American bloggers? I believe you may be, then again, maybe not. But your emotional reaction to the facts is telling.

  60. Bill Cutting @ 3:33 pm
    The old fashioned tapes could be erased, these Blago tapes cannot. I wonder if the Nixon tapes helped generate the technology?
    “They will never ever release them.”
    This is what causes the majority of Americans to distrust their government completely, hence Tea Party and the rise of anti-incumbent fever. I hope a lot of military and business folks run. So sick of all the sleaze in government. The Dem’s win the prize for sleaziest at the moment. It’s not a contest DC.

  61. btw Tina, could you site your source for this statement. thanks in advance.

    “And for the record the US and Israel are generating the most businesses and jobs in the world right now, including in the US.”

  62. 12 Million people were exterminated in Hitler’s concentration camps. 6 million were Jews and were targeted for extermination-as sub-humans the Poles were the next group targeted for extermination-sub-human equals Hitler’s definition of Aryan supremacy. Israel has been told many times of the desire by other nations to be “wiped off the face of the Earth”. Israel has always advised them of their response. NEVER AGAIN IS NOW, is perpetual for the Israeli and Jewish people. Never again will they go like lambs to the slaughter.

  63. Michelle – no one should ever be forced to endure the trauma the pols, jews, gays, handicapped, and others endured in the concentration camps. No one.

    Therefore, why is it today we stand quietly by watching similar horrific actions on the Gazans?

    Why the double standard? Why is it okay for the Israeli government to imprison an entire population of people? If it wasn’t okay for the Germans to do it why do we make an exception for Israel to do it?

    My position is no one should ever endure such inhumanity. No one.

    This from airwatch.com…..my recent posts incorrectly stated 660 U.S. marines but, here you have it, mosad was knee deep in this.

    It lasts about 36 hours. President Reagan, upset by the slaughter and Israel’s role in it, and still believing the U.S. is a global police force, in early October sends the peacekeeping force back to Beirut, augmented to 1,200 men, mostly Marines. They are joined by 1,560 French and 1,200 Italian troops. This time they stay there. [4]

    So, the U.S. Marines are in Beirut because of Israel’s occupation of the city, and the U.S. government’s altruistic idiocy. Is idiocy too strong a word?

    Now some further background. For some time Israel had imposed a huge import tax on merchandise coming from Lebanon, which naturally resulted in smuggling to evade it. The goods were smuggled by cars and trucks modified for hidden storage. The Mossad station in Beirut had a certain informant who knew people working at a local garage which specialized in such modifications. Thus the Mossad occasionally obtained a good description of a vehicle that they could pass on to Israeli border guards, foiling many smuggling attempts.

    Back to our story. In the summer of 1983 this informant tells the Mossad that Shi’ite Muslims are refitting a large Mercedes-Benz truck with extra-large hidden storage areas for holding bombs. Again quoting Mr. Ostrovsky:

    “… the Mossad knew that … there were only a few logical targets, one of which must be the U.S. compound. The question then was whether or not to warn the Americans to be on particular alert for a truck matching the description.

    “The decision was too important to be taken in the Beirut station, so it was passed along to Tel Aviv, where [Nahum] Admony, then head of Mossad, decided they would simply give the Americans the usual general warning, a vague notice that they had reason to believe someone might be planning an operation against them. But this was so general, and so commonplace, it was … unlikely to raise any particular alarm or prompt increased security precautions. … One more would not heighten U.S. concerns or surveillance.

    “Admony, in refusing to give the Americans specific information on the truck, said ‘… we’re not there to protect Americans. They’re a big country. Send only the regular information.’

    “At the same time, however, all Israeli installations were given the specific details and warned to watch for a truck matching the description of the Mercedes.

    “At 6:20 a.m. on October 23, 1983, a large Mercedes truck approached the Beirut airport, passing well within sight of Israeli sentries in their nearby base, going through a Lebanese army checkpoint, and turning left into the parking lot. A U.S. Marine guard reported with alarm that the truck was gathering speed, but before he could do anything, the truck roared toward the entrance of the four-story reinforced concrete Aviation Safety Building, used as headquarters for the Eighth Marine Battalion, crashing through a wrought-iron gate, hitting the sand-bagged guard post, smashing through another barrier, and ramming over a wall of sandbags into the lobby, exploding with such terrific force that the building was instantly reduced to rubble.
    The blast and crushing debris kills 220 Marines, 18 Navy personnel, and 3 Army soldiers, 241 in all, most sleeping in their cots at the time. (70 men are injured. The Lebanese janitor for the building is killed.) It is the highest single-day death toll for American soldiers since the Vietnam Tet offensive.

    A few minutes later another truck smashes into the French compound two miles away, killing 58 French soldiers. Mr. Ostrovsky continues:

    “Within days, the Israelis passed along to the CIA the names of 13 people who they said were connected to the bombing[s] …, a list including Syrian intelligence, Iranians in Damascus, and Shi’ite Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah.

    “At Mossad headquarters, there was a sigh of relief that it wasn’t us who got hit. It was seen as a small incident so far as the Mossad was concerned – that we had stumbled over it [that is, onto it in advance] and wouldn’t tell anybody. The problem was if we had leaked information and it was traced back, our informant would have been killed. The next time, we wouldn’t know if we were on the hit list.

    “The general attitude about the Americans was: ‘Hey, they wanted to stick their nose into this Lebanon thing, let them pay the price.’

    “For me, it was the first time I had received a major rebuke from my Mossad superior … . I said at the time that the American soldiers killed in Beirut would be on our minds longer than our own casualties because they’d come in with good faith, to help us get out of this mess we’d created. I was told ‘Just shut up. You’re talking out of your league. We’re giving the Americans much more than they’re giving us.’ They always said that, but it’s not true. So much of Israeli equipment was American, and the Mossad owed them a lot.”
    ARI says: “Israel is our ally in the Middle East.”

    This is our ally?

    OOPS, my editing got out of hand

  67. GFJWV,
    Yeah your editing got out of hand, I missed the part where the Israeli’s drove the bombs into our (USA) base.

  68. Michelle – first, Gazan’s are not free. They cannot fish beyond a certain point in their own waters for fear of being killed. All goods trucked into Gaza come from a highly detailed list the Israeli government developed and implements. Their infrastructure was destroyed during the last Israeli assault. Their medical facilities were destroyed. People have been living in tents for over two years. Children are homeless b/c their families were killed and their homes run over by bulldozers. They must gain special permission to cross over the border for medical treatment and more times than not, even though these mothers and fathers have applied well in advance for permission to get chemo, surgery, or whatever the medical need may be, they are turned away by the Israeli Guards. This only forces these already beaten down souls to have to apply all over again only to be rejected again and again.

    Please tell me how the Gazan’s fate is anywhere similar to the Mexican’s fate? How are they the same?

  69. Tennbrook – aren’t all Muslims martyr’s?

    Something struck me as I was reading the JihadWatch post – when American patriots say they will die defending our country, how is that different from a Muslim who says he will die for Allah? Btw, Allah is God.

    What is the difference? Maybe the manner in which a patriot goes about dying for his country? I don’t know. You tell me.

    Let’s just say you live somewhere in suburbia. You don’t have a corner lot. So, there are five houses with property adjacent to yours. All five houses are occupied by Islamist terrorists. Between them they have RPG’s and launchers, several hundred cell phones, C-4, scrap metal for shrapnel, hundreds of A-K 47’s, and thousands of rounds of ammo. And, just maybe, a nuclear device or two. The next time a semi with a Safeway sign on it drives up to the house next door are you gonna be thinking, “It’s just food.”?

    You can hardly call an Islamic extremist who is willing to blow himself up and take hundreds of innocent civilians with him at the same time a patriot and martyr.

    Now if the Muslem is a member of a uniform service and he is killed fighting against a nation that his/or her country considers their enemy, then he/or she could be considered a patriot in their country.

    But to say that these nut jobs who go around shouting radical Islamic slogans then blows up a bomb killing hundreds of innocent civilians is nothing short of a mass murder…it’s that simple.

    Regardless of what they think, there are no rewards in heaven for people like this.

    P.S….If Allah is God as you seem to think…do you really think God wants the Islamic radicals to go around blowing up women and children . Do you really think these actions please God? Do you really think they please Allah?

    I can’t speak for anyone but myself, but I’m damn sick and tired of people making excuses for all the sicko’s in the world. Murder is murder.

  79. Helen…if the Muslems living in the Gaza Strip would kick out Hama radicals extremist , I’m sure they could live in peace with the Israel people. But as long as Hamas keeps a dagger pointed at Israel, you better believe the Jewish people will be on guard

    tennbrock – you ask for it. Here it is!

    By Christopher Bollyn
    Exclusive to American Free Press
    4-14-5

    U.S. investigators and the controlled media have ignored a preponderance of evidence pointing to Israel’s intelligence agency, the Mossad, being involved in the terror attacks of 9/11.

    From the very morning aircraft smashed into the World Trade Center (WTC) and the Pentagon, news reports have indicated Israeli intelligence being involved in the events of 9/11 – and the planting of “false flags” to blame Arab terrorists and mold public opinion to support the pre-planned “war on terror.”

    Shortly after the destruction of the twin towers, radio news reports described five “Middle Eastern men” being arrested in New Jersey after having been seen videotaping and celebrating the explosive “collapses” of the WTC.

    These men, from a phony moving company in Weehawken, N.J., turned out to be agents of Israeli military intelligence, Mossad. Furthermore, their “moving van” tested positive for explosives.

    Dominic Suter, the Israeli owner of Urban Moving Systems, the phony “moving company,” fled in haste, or was allowed to escape, to Israel before FBI agents could interrogate him. The Israeli agents were later returned to Israel on minor visa violations.

    The Assistant Attorney General in charge of criminal investigations at the time was Michael Chertoff, the current head of the Dept. of Homeland Security. Chertoff, the son of the first hostess of Israel’s national air carrier, El Al, is thought to be an Israeli national.

    One of the Israeli agents later told Israeli radio that they had been sent to “document the event” – the event which took the lives of some 3,000 Americans.

    Despite the fact that the Israelis arrested in New Jersey evidently had prior knowledge or were involved in the planning of 9/11, the U.S. mainstream media has never even broached the question of Israeli complicity in the attacks.

    ISRAELIS FOREWARNED

    On September 12, 2001, the Internet edition of The Jerusalem Post reported, “The Israeli foreign ministry has collected the names of 4,000 Israelis believed to have been in the areas of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon at the time of the attack.”

    Yet only one Israeli was killed at the WTC and two were reportedly killed on the “hijacked” aircraft.

    Although a total of three Israeli lives were reportedly lost on 9/11, speechwriters for President George W. Bush grossly inflated the number of Israeli dead to 130 in the president’s address to a joint session of Congress on September 20, 2001.

    The fact that only one Israeli died at the WTC, while 4,000 Israelis were thought to have been at the scene of the attacks on 9/11 naturally led to a widespread rumor, blamed on Arabic sources, that Israelis had been forewarned to stay away that day.

    “Whether this story was the origin of the rumor,” Bret Stephens, the Post’s editor-in-chief wrote in 2003, “I cannot say. What I can say is that there was no mistake in our reporting.”

    ODIGO INSTANT MESSAGES

    Evidence that Israelis had been forewarned several hours before the attacks surfaced at an Israeli instant messaging service, known as Odigo. This story, clear evidence of Israeli prior knowledge, was reported only briefly in the U.S. media – and quickly forgotten.

    At least two Israel-based employees of Odigo received warnings of an imminent attack in New York City more than two hours before the first plane hit the WTC. Odigo had its U.S. headquarters two blocks from the WTC. The Odigo employees, however, did not pass the warning on to the authorities in New York City, a move that could have saved thousands of lives.

    Odigo has a feature called People Finder that allows users to seek out and contact others based on certain demographics, such as Israeli nationality.

    Two weeks after 9/11, Alex Diamandis, Odigo’s vice president, reportedly said, “It was possible that the attack warning was broadcast to other Odigo members, but the company has not received reports of other recipients of the message.”

    The Internet address of the sender was given to the FBI, and two months later it was reported that the FBI was still investigating the matter. There have been no media reports since.

  84. RMinNC –

    I made no excuses for a martyr or patriot. I only offered an observation, that is what is the difference b/w the two?

    According to Dictionary.com a martyr is –
    1. a person who willingly suffers death rather than renounce his or her religion.
    2. a person who is put to death or endures great suffering on behalf of any belief, principle, or cause: a martyr to the cause of social justice.
    3. a person who undergoes severe or constant suffering: a martyr to severe headaches.
    4. a person who seeks sympathy or attention by feigning or exaggerating pain, deprivation, etc.
    –verb (used with object)
    5. to make a martyr of, esp. by putting to death.
    6. to torment or torture.

    and a Patriot is –
    1. a person who loves, supports, and defends his or her country and its interests with devotion.
    2. a person who regards himself or herself as a defender, esp. of individual rights, against presumed interference by the federal government.
    3. (initial capital letter) Military. a U.S. Army antiaircraft missile with a range of 37 mi. (60 km) and a 200-lb. (90 kg) warhead, launched from a tracked vehicle with radar and computer guidance and fire control.

    Thus, both a martyr and patriot love their country BUT a martyr is strongly devoted to their religious beliefs.

    So the difference as I see it is a Patriot will die for her/his country and a Martyr will die for his/her country and religious beliefs.

    Our first martyr was Jesus Christ with the second martyr being Saint Stephen. We have statues located throughout the US of our Patriots who fought to defend their country, which is a Christian nation, so maybe they too felt they were also serving God.

    I guess I’m at a loss as seeing this as a bad thing, that is being a martyr and putting your life on the line out of devotion to God vs being a patriot by putting your life on the line out of devotion to your country.

    That said, there are three western religions that share the same God – Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Jew’s use the term Yahweh, Christian’s the term God and Islam the term Allah, but they are all the same God.

    Again, I wish to make this clear, I do not nor ever would show support for any human being no matter their religion to strap a bomb around their waists, walk into a crowd of innocent souls and detonate the daggone thing. Ever. I make no excuses for such a despicable display of inhumanity. Suicide bombing is the most abominable and disgusting form of terrorism we’ve ever know and I make no justification for it whatsoever.

    One for example is a hit list made by the Israeli commando’s of key targets they wanted killed on the Marmara. Yes, a laminated hit list held up on the live feed the night of the attack accidentally dropped by an Israeli soldier. A hit list. Yet none of these passengers had a weapon of any kind…oops, forgot, a slingshot with marbles and a homemade molotav cocktail.

    “Tina – take a breath. no need to get riled up.

    I ask these questions with honesty. Not for a nefarious reason. You see, I’m having the same challenge with the Israeli government, not her people, but the government as I am with my own government and not her people.

    Why do people get so emotional when it comes to anything Israel? I don’t get it. It’s a government just like any other government in the world. But when anyone raises facts and questions our undying support we are termed anti-semite. What’s up with that?

    Are you by chance one of the 12,000 bloggers hired by Israel to use Alinsky tactics on us American bloggers? I believe you may be, then again, maybe not. But your emotional reaction to the facts is telling.”
    *******************************
    With all due respect, Helen, it seems that you were the one to get riled up in your post at 3:13 PM. Furthermore, the reason that some of us get exercised over Israel’s right to exist, is because her enemies far outnumber her and they have pledged to “drive her into the sea.” They want every last Jew dead. I think somebody ought to get “riled” up over that blatant threat.

    Then to equate any of us who defend Israel’s right to exist as using Alinsky tactics on American bloggers is beyond the pale. I would call that assertion a “below the belt” attack and totally unfair.

    Now,
    As for the Israeli ships, why wouldn’t they be armed? The blockade was being breached.

    Wrong: Fact, the ships were sitting in International waters not Israeli waters.

    Wrong: Fact, the Flotilla’s Commander ordered the ships to halt and that they would sail into the Palestinian waters at the break of day. The did not want to risk an assault at night where the passengers would be harmed.

    Wrong: Fact, the majority of the passengers were sleeping and/or preparing for what they would be facing when they attempted to go around the Israeli blockade.

    Islam has a plan. Little Satan first, then Big Satan.

    Fact: Israel has a plan. Read the Zionist Protocols. And take the time to learn the difference b/w a religion and a political movement and please do not confuse the two. The Zionists worship the Talmud and the Jew worships the Torah. Two completely different writings with completely different meanings. One is about law and the other is about love.

    “NY Refuses Permit to Ground Zero Mosque Protest

    June 2, 2010”

    http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2010/06/02/new-york-refuses-permit-to-anti-ground-zero-mosque-protest/

    “The organizers of a massive June 6 rally opposing the Ground Zero mosque are not allowed to protest at their planned location in Zuccotti Park, DNAinfo has learned.

    The NYPD has not issued a permit for the D-Day demonstration by the group Stop Islamization of America, a Police spokeswoman said. And Brookfield Properties, the owner of Zuccotti Park, generally does not allow political protests on the plaza across from the World Trade Center site. “A protest event will not be happening in Zuccotti Park,” said Melissa Coley, Brookfield spokeswoman.

    A person with knowledge of the permitting process told DNAinfo the anti-mosque rally was initially pitched as a gathering for 9/11 family members, and the city approved it several weeks ago. But once it became clear that the event would be a protest against Cordoba House, a 13-story mosque and community center slated to rise near ground zero, the city withdrew the permit, the source said.

    Pamela Geller, executive director of Stop Islamization of America, said the protest would go forward as planned. “We’ve cleared all the legal hurdles the city requires for a rally,” she said in an e-mail to DNAinfo.

    Zuccotti Park is a privately owned public space, so both the city and Brookfield Properties have jurisdiction over what happens there. U.S. Steel built the park back in the 1970s in return for a height bonus on One Liberty Plaza, an adjacent office tower. The park was then called Liberty Plaza. Brookfield now owns both the tower and the plaza. Several years ago, Brookfield renovated the space using private money and renamed it for John Zuccotti, the company’s chairman.

    Based on the online response to the rally so far, it appears that hundreds, if not thousands, of people could be planning to attend the June 6 rally. More than 400 people have RSVPed on Facebook so far.

    Stop Islamization of America is helping potential attendees connect via its website. A post on carpooling has drawn 54 responses since Monday, with people planning to come from as far away as California, Louisiana, Texas, Missouri and Michigan.

    Geller slammed the “insensitive” mosque plans at Community Board 1’s meeting Tuesday night. “This mega mosque is going up on sacred ground,” she told the crowd of several hundred people. “This is an insult.” Geller is the founder of AtlasShrugs.com, a conservative blog, and also launched a controversial ad campaign earlier this month on the city’s buses, purporting to help people who want to leave Islam.

    While the number of people who will turn up at the June 6 protest is hard to predict, hundreds of people are discussing it on Twitter, YouTube and other sites, and more than 85,000 people have joined a Facebook group opposing the mosque.

I think Israel and the Jewish people took that as a threat-I know I would and Israel makes no bones about what they are going to do about these threats which have turned into actions many times. Many innocents have been killed due to those who preach hate and those who are dumb enough to believe their lies. Wearing bombs to kill people and detonating themselves, these children (expendable) should ask the glorious leaders to show them how. End of problem in more ways than one.

    ——————————————————–

    Cabby – I too stand with the people of Israel. I simply do not support their government. The people I fully support both here at home and abroad. I do not wish any ill will to come to my Jewish brothers and sisters just like I don’t want them to come to my Muslim brothers and sisters.

    The division that has been created for America to pick sides or one religious faith over another is precisely what I believe the Zionist government wants. I have no bone to pick with you, yet I can feel the division b/w the two of us. So I ask myself, how did this come to be? Why am I being divided from my own countrymen and women? And who is creating this division? So I go looking for answers and have studied much over the last two years to learn one thing and one thing only, who put Obama in the WH and why? The answer has become as clear as day to me. My challenge is whenever I or a handful of others attempt to provide factual information here it’s pooh poohed and dismissed as a conspiracy theory.

    The good folks that visit and post here at CWs are intelligent souls. Yet, for whatever reason, anytime someone like me, posts an opposing viewpoint we are termed anti semitic or riled up or hitting below the belt. Well, that’s all fine and good if you simply want to agree with one another. However, all of you are on the same or similar self education journey that so many of us patriots are on for one reason, that is, how to save our country. Well, we’re never going to get there if we remain in our comfort zones and not challenge one another’s beliefs with the facts.

    Paul Craig Robert’s was recently interviewed about the “Failed State of America.” Here is one of his quotes

    “The American people are lost in la-la land. They have no idea that their civil liberties have been forfeited. They are only gradually learning that their economic future is compromised. They have little idea of the world’s growing hatred of Americans for their destruction of other peoples. In short, Americans are full of themselves. They have no idea of the disasters that their ignorance and inhumanity have brought upon themselves and upon the world. ”

    When someone like Mr. Roberts states such a belief, I take a step back and ask myself if I’m doing everything I can to speak my truth and educate, and my answer is I’m doing the best I can and will try even harder.

    Simply put, we patriots have to work to get somewhat close to being on the same page. Once we achieve such a goal, then we become a mighty force that indeed can save our great homeland.

    Call it what you want – I am probably guilty. But if you do not clearly perceive that good ol’ America is right now sitting at the apex of the mother of all existential crises – then you don’t belong here.

    And – guess who has an even greater existential crisis? That’s right – ISRAEL. Have you looked at a Mid East map? Do you even remotely understand how SURROUNDED Israel is with RABID enemies? Hordes and ‘mongolian hordes’ of them. Tiny little Israel.

  124. Tennbrook – I was making an observation which you could read all by yourself up thread.

    My point is, a patriot fights for his devotion to country and a martyr fights for his devotion to religion. My question then is why is one favorable or accepted over another? Before you answer patriot, you may want to do a bit of digging on all of the Christian martyr’s.

    Tennbrook – I have studied religion all of my life. I have a minor in Religious Studies and if I could have earned a major and made a living I would have done it. Please do not insult my intellect by stating such falsehoods. All western religions are devoted to one God. Secondly, Jesus Christ is highly revered in Islam. They hold him and his work in the highest regard.

    Obviously, you show your total lack of education of religion and the beliefs they hold and practice.

    Does this make me an anti semitic? Of course not. Why? b/c I’m not going to allow an unknown force divide me from my fellow countrymen/women; I’m not going to believe everything I read or view b/c it is my responsibility to research and learn whatever the truths are and finally, I will not blindly fall prey to anyone’s propaganda again.

    That simple.

  125. Israel was attacked, and not expected to win, but they did.

    The Six-Day War of June 5–10, 1967 was a war between Israel and the neighboring states of Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. The Arab states of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria also contributed troops and arms.[2] At the war’s end, Israel had gained control of the Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights. The results of the war affect the geopolitics of the region to this day.

    OOPS – doesn’t look like THAT turned out very well.

    If you are really as educated as you say, then you would know that Islam is the existential enemy of Israel and Jews. Israel and Jews are not the existential enemy of anyone.

    Sometimes things really are that simple. Everything else is just fog and disinformation and propaganda.

  128. CC – I happen to be more worried about my country right now than I am about any other. This country, America, needs my full attention.

    I am tired of the hatred and division that has been seeded in this country by despots whose only agenda is to keep us divided. Forgive me, Sir, but I happen to love my homeland and her only! My loyalty lies a hundred percent with America and what is best for her. Period!

    With all this clamor it is hard get it straight. Neither Helen nor I are antisemite and you LIARS are creating strawman statements and know Full Damn Well what you are doing. I don’t recall Hellen using the term ‘obot’. I used ‘bot’, which has nothing Obama. You are ‘bot’ whores for somebody and probably not making very much money at that. “That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.”

  133. Helen,
    Also, I have studied theology thoroughly and know that I follow the one true God.
    The muslim god is a false god, Mohammed made up Islam from a mix of other religions. The Biblical God and the god of the Koran are diametrically opposed to each other.

    This may be a start if you get to looking,

    Islam: Truth or Myth? Interestingly, not many Muslims want to accept that Allah was already being worshipped at the Ka’ba in Mecca by Arab pagans before Muhammad came. Some Muslims become angry when they are confronted with this fact. But history is not on their side. Pre-Islamic literature has proved this.” (Who Is This Allah?, G. J. O. Moshay, 1994, p 138)

    “But history establishes beyond the shadow of doubt that even the pagan Arabs, before Muhammad’s time, knew their chief god by the name of Allah and even, in a sense, proclaimed his unity…Among the pagan Arabs this term denoted the chief god of their pantheon, the Kaaba, with its three hundred and sixty idols.” (The Moslem Doctrine of God, Samuel M. Zwemer 1905, p 24-25)

    In fact, he did not at first intend to establish a new religion, but rather to reform the belief in Allah which already existed, and to show what this belief truly signified and rightfully demanded. (Mohammed: The man and his faith, Tor Andrae, 1936, Translated by Theophil Menzel, 1960, p13-30)

  137. Helen….

    In your own dictionary.com of martyr there is NO mention of people who go around murdering innocent women and children…where does that fit into your criteria?

    In your dictionary.com of patriot there is no mention of the murder of helpless innocent civilians. Where does that fit into your criteria?

    As CW said, as I said, and as most people who post here understand: MURDER is MURDER, and those who do these horrible acts of mass murder are damn sure not martyr’s, nor or they patriots according to any one’s (except perhaps your) school book ! Period and end of comment.

  138. tennbrock – first, my apologies for typing in your user name wrong. got it now.

    In the course of your studies, did you learn how the three Western Religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam factually came into being?

    For example the first copy of the New Testament was written in Greece 60 years after Christ was crucified. The closest Christian religious practice to what Jesus preached is the Greek Orthodox Church. Not only is it the closest to emulate the teachings of Christ, but their entire pulpit is laid out as the closest replica to where and how Jesus taught his disciples.

    All three Western religions were born in and around Jerusalem. All three adhere to a loving and powerful God; the same God.

    What you are referring to as well as others is the sect of Islam that split off from the teachings of Mohammed. It was Mohammed’s brother that lead this sect and declared jihad 2000 years ago even against other Muslims out of jealousy and hatred for his brother. However, it is but a very small part of Muslim followers.

    Have you ever read the Koran? If not, you might want to pick up a copy and read it. The same with the Torah. Both tell the story of their religious foundation and beliefs just as the New Testament does.

    We as American’s have been bombarded with hateful messages toward the entire Islamic nation. Does this mean I want Shia law practiced here in the states? Heck no. It simply means we have been conditioned, brainwashed, propagandized to hate, loathe and mistrust an entire people.

    When 911 occurred I couldn’t believe Muslims committed such a tragedy. Why? B/c everything I’d learned in class pointed to the very opposite of these people. However, I slowly was convinced to believe the official government story, although I had plenty of questions.

    What always bothered me about the official story was this – how did a 20 Saudi’s plan for such a suicide mission from caves? And why would we attack Iraq if the hijackers were all Saudi’s? These two ditty’s never made sense to me and honestly still don’t. If indeed 20 Saudi’s flew planes into the Pentagon, the two Tower’s and the field in Pennsylvania, why did we attack Iraq? No one in the media ever declared they were Iraqi hijackers. Naturally we should have attacked Saudi Arabia. Why didn’t we?

    Today I hold an entirely different belief based on facts. I keep going back to facts b/c these are the pillars that lead us to truth. I started w/the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth back in February. It was then that I started to do more research. Until such time, I honestly didn’t even know there was such a thing as a 911 Truther. I guess I’ve become one by default b/c I have very serious questions about the official story line that our government must answer.

    Imagine for just a moment that 911 isn’t what we’ve been told all of these years, and that we as American’s have bludgeoned an entire people b/c that is what our government and our ally, Israel, wanted to achieve. How sad would that be.

    No, I’m not telling anyone here to believe or not to believe. Nor am I trying to persuade you or stir up a hornet’s nest. I’m simply restating what I said above, that is we are all patriots on this journey and at some point we must get on the same or as close to the same page as we possibly can.

    The division and hatred needs to come to an end. I don’t know how to get there, but we need to if we want an America left for our children and grandchildren.

    “The Coming Resignation of Barack Obama”

    By Peter Ferrara on 6.2.10 @ 6:09 AM

    “Months ago, I predicted in this column that President Obama would so discredit himself in office that he wouldn’t even be on the ballot in 2012, let alone have a prayer of being reelected. Like President Johnson in 1968, who had won a much bigger victory four years previously than Obama did in 2008, President Obama will be so politically defunct by 2012 that he won’t even try to run for reelection.

    I am now ready to predict that President Obama will not even make it that far.
    I predict that he will resign in discredited disgrace before the fall of 2012. Like my previous prediction, that is based not just on where we are now, but where we are going under his misleadership.

    Is the President Above the Law?

    Watergate was supposed to have established that Presidents are not above the law. If that is so, President Obama may have to resign for breaking the law in the Sestak affair.

    Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA) is now the Democrat nominee for the Senate seat held far too long by Arlen Specter. President Obama induced Specter to switch parties and give the Democrats their very temporary, 60 vote, filibuster-proof majority, in return for endorsing him for reelection and promising him no opposition in the Democrat primary. But Sestak had already announced that he was running for the seat, and he refused to get out. Two weeks ago, Sestak defeated the unprincipled, opportunistic Specter for the Democrat nomination, continuing the perfect string of everyone who Obama endorses and campaigns for going down to defeat.

    For months now, Sestak has publicly claimed that President Obama tried to keep his promise to Specter by offering him a high-ranking administration appointment if he would get out of the race. The rumor is that Sestak, formerly an Admiral, was offered appointment as Secretary of the Navy. The problem is that a federal statute explicitly provides that it is a federal felony, punishable by up to one year in prison, to attempt to bribe a candidate with a federal job, or anything of value, to influence an election.

    As Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) has indicated, the White House is now engaged in a coverup that is only making matters worse. Former President Bill Clinton is now claiming that he carried the offer to Sestak of an appointment to an unpaid position on a Presidential Advisory Board in return for dropping out of the race. But that story is not plausible because as a sitting member of Congress he could not have legally served on such a Presidential Board. So is the White House now lying to the American people about the matter?”

    “Does this make me an anti semitic? Of course not. Why? b/c I’m not going to allow an unknown force divide me from my fellow countrymen/women; I’m not going to believe everything I read or view b/c it is my responsibility to research and learn whatever the truths are and finally, I will not blindly fall prey to anyone’s propaganda again.”
    ************************
    Please, Helen, listen for a moment! None of us here enjoys the discussion that has ensued re. Israel. Of course, when some of us see an unwarranted attack on Israel’s motives and a one-sided distortion of what happened (by the way, none of us was there as a personal witness), we feel compelled to respond, as you have concerning your views. You said above that “I am not going to allow an unknown force divide me from from my fellow countrymen/women…”
    and I think we all feel similarly. The best way to accomplish that unity is to avoid those hot-button issues that seem irreconcilable, at least for now. You seem to want to keep the controversy going, although you probably don’t realize it. We are never going to agree on everything. Let’s just live with that.

  142. Helen at 6:58 you said,
    “My point is, a patriot fights for his devotion to country and a martyr fights for his devotion to religion. My question then is why is one favorable or accepted over another? Before you answer patriot, you may want to do a bit of digging on all of the Christian martyr’s.”

But that story is not plausible because as a sitting member of Congress he could not have legally served on such a Presidential Board. So is the White House now lying to the American people about the matter?

    Moreover, indirectly offering the job through former President Clinton still violates the statute, as does the offer of an unpaid position. That is why Issa, Mark Levin, and others are saying that what the White House is publicly admitting still amounts to a federal crime, which is an impeachable offense. Democrats are going to have to decide if they really believe that presidents are not above the law. Presently, one reason to vote Republican for president is that Republican presidents are subject to the rule of law, but Democrat presidents are not.

    Misfeasance or Malfeasance?

    But the Sestak affair is just the early breeze of the gathering political storm that threatens to envelop President Obama. A mysterious explosion over six weeks ago in a deep sea oil well a mile below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico continues to gush oil to this day, heading for Gulf beaches and fisheries. The White House says the President held a meeting on it in the Oval Office on Day One. But we have not heard a word on what was done in that meeting 44 days ago, other than develop political talking points.”

    Helen, have a strong statement hungup in moderation—-it’s essence beware of these ‘scholars’.

  146. A true martyr is someone who is killed for his/her belief, not someone who kills themselves and as many more as they can with them, that’s a lunatic.

    _____________________________

    Agree!!! Perfect definition.

    _____________________________

    Thank you, Cabby – AZ, for your advice. Always welcomed. Not always heeded. But definitely always welcomed.

  147. A true martyr is someone who is killed for the truth, not their belief. If that were the case, then if a person believed that the moon had red, purple, green stripes with pinkish poka-dots all over it, then they would be considered a martyr if they were killed because they truly believed that it’s so. Meaning, that is their belief, but a person’s belief doesn’t make truth reality.

    What is truth? Truth is reality. I can trust that China really exists even though I haven’t been there ever. This is reality. Being a martyr is for dying for the truth, which Yahweh’s truth is the only truth that really ever matters in the long run.

    These guys and gals that blow themselves and others up are not dying for any truth. 72 virgins? Give me a break. What do they think they’re going to be doing with them anyway? What do the gals get for doing it?

    In regards to siting sources that you request, look up innovations of Israel. Below is only one article. Look at the stock exchange. Look at the US patent office. Israel has most of the current patents on innovations pending. Try not to be so close minded on Israel. They have impacted most areas of technology and medicine in today’s world.

  152. Tina – thank you for this information.

    I am not anti Israel – I am anti Israel’s government just like I am anti America’s current government.

    Never am I anti the people. I am not one who punishes or judges the whole for the few.

    I will read the info you provide and will enjoy learning more about economic matters that strengthen all of us.

  153. Check out the Journal of Israel Inovation as well, Helen. You don’t see such technology excellence coming from many countries in the Middle East besides Israel.

    The Journal of Israel Innovation TM (JII) is an international publication featuring developments in Israel’s top business sectors including life sciences, cleantech and renewable energy, agritech and functional foods, nanotechnology and other emerging knowledge-based sectors.

    http://www.biolawbusiness.com/JII.asp

  154. Basically I was trying to say is that anybody of mankind can be a martyr in their own eyes and mankind’s eyes, but does this even count with our creator? No! You have to gain and live a love of the truth in order to be saved. Why be a martyr for a lie? It won’t get you anywhere.

    Yep, does anyone ask what the gals in Islam get when they blow themselves up, committing self-murder and committing murder of many others, therefore, breaking many commandments our of their lust for their own selfishness?

    It is selfish, you know, they want something that THEY feel that they’re entitled to and just the heck with anyone else, including, but not limited to, disabled children, children, moms and dads, sons and daughters, ill people, elderly people. You name it.

    Breaking of any of Yahweh’s commandments is just flat selfishness for anyone. And that is what it boils down to, selfishness.

    No, arrest for crimes committed. Too many to list here and all the players arrested too. Pelosi, Bauer, Jarrett and all the other criminals in their organization. That would be justice for them, and maybe the citizens of the US would get some justice too.

  156. Truth Now……………………………….

    What really scares me is the fact that some of the very people who lost relatives in the AL QUADA attack on the WTC,turned around and actually voted for Soetoro, who in effect IS one of the BASTARDS who perpetrated the attack. What kind of people would do such a thing? They would have to be TOTALLY without moral principles, and literally without conscience,or rational mentality. Yet these people have proven that they exist,and couldn’t care l;ess about their own blood relatives who were SENSLESSLY murdetred on 9-11. There are some really SICK people among us ,and they are about the worst. They think ALLAH IS GREAT!

  157. The problem, in my opinion, is not the government of Israel, but the governments of Saudi Arabia and Hamas in Gaza.

    The government of Israel has agreed to a Palestinian homeland numerous times. The first time was in 1948 when the state of Israel was created, but instead the Arabs attacked. Israel, again with President Bill Clinton present, agreed to a Palestinian state with part of Jerusalem as its capital. Arafat said no and started an infatada of violence. Olmert recently agreed again to a Palestinian state, but by this time Hamas was in Gaza. When Israel walked out of Gaza it left numerous greenhouses for the Palestinians to grow crops with. Instead Hamas blew up the greenhouses as well as Jewish temples, and the sewage system so now raw sewage runs in the streets of Gaza. Arabs live in Israel. They are educated and given medical assistance. Why can’t Jews be allowed to live in Palestine as they have always done historically? It’s only recently that Arabs have thrown the Jews out of Palestine and refused to live with them. Israel can’t make peace when no one is on the other side to make peace with. Saudi Arabia has funded radical terrorists for decades including the PLO and others. If the Saudi’s and Iran took away their assistance to these groups, there could be peace.

    Plan Was to Kill Activists and Deter Future Convoys”
    Israeli MP’s Night of Terror on Aid Ship

    By JONATHAN COOK

    Nazareth.

    An Arab member of the Israeli parliament who was on board the international flotilla that was attacked on Monday as it tried to take humanitarian aid to Gaza accused Israel yesterday of intending to kill peace activists as a way to deter future convoys.

    Haneen Zoubi said Israeli naval vessels had surrounded the flotilla’s flagship, the Mavi Marmara, and fired on it a few minutes before commandos abseiled from a helicopter directly above them.

    Terrified passengers had been forced off the deck when water was sprayed at them. She said she was not aware of any provocation or resistance by the passengers, who were all unarmed.

    She added that within minutes of the raid beginning, three bodies had been brought to the main room on the upper deck in which she and most other passengers were confined. Two had gunshot wounds to the head, in what she suggested had been executions.

    Two other passengers slowly bled to death in the room after Israeli soldiers ignored messages in Hebrew she had held up at the window calling for medical help to save them. She said she saw seven other passengers seriously wounded.

    “Israel had days to plan this military operation,” she told a press conference in Nazareth. “They wanted many deaths to terrorise us and to send a message that no future aid convoys should try to break the siege of Gaza.”

    Released early yesterday by police, apparently because of her parliamentary immunity, she said she was speaking out while most of the hundreds of other peace activists were either being held by Israel for deportation or were under arrest.

    Three other leaders of Israel’s large Palestinian Arab minority, including Sheikh Raed Salah, a spiritual leader, were arrested as their ships docked in the southern port of Ashdod. Lawyers said that under Israeli law they could be held and questioned for up to 30 days without being charged.

    Contradicting Israeli claims, Ms Zoubi said a search by the soldiers after they took control of the Marmara discovered no arms or other weapons.

  170. Isreal is blockading the the GAZA. Since the ILLEGAL HAMAS has seen fit to continuously attack Isreal from the GAZA the ISREALIS are well within their right to DEFEND THEMSELVES,even if it means searching a flotilla of cargo shyips for CONTRABAND. The TURKS and IHH both said there were no weapons aboard any of the ships. Everybody in the American public seemed to BUY every word of this in spite of having just one year ago BEEN LED BY SOETORO to VOTE FOR PIE IN THE SKY.

    We The People should be DEMANDING the Immediate Resignation of Usurper Barack Obama. This is FAITHFUL & TRUE. It is also Faithful & True what you are saying that he should be arrested, and that We The People MUST ARREST him, and INDICT him IMMEDIATELY, and
    We The People MUST force Obama to face his crimes & become 100% Accountable and 100% Responsible to ALL FREE USA citizens, for Obama’s Massive Extremely Dangerous Illegal & Hideous & Horrendous crimes he is committing in the USA!!

    Yes, Usurper Barack Obama together with many THOUSANDS of people need to be arrested and charged for committing all of their illegal and unconstitutional evil crimes, and for the horrendous crimes of covering up their crimes and the Usurper Daily Serial Criminal Obama’s crime spree in the USA.

  176. Running a blockade is an act of war. That’s what the so called peace ships wanted to do so that Iran can get bigger weapons into Gaza to kill Israelis with. Turkey is friends with Iran now so it sends peace ships to Gaza which is a total lie. They have nothing to do with peace. If any Arab state had killed everyone on board a ship running a blockade, no one would have said a thing. People have hardly said a thing about North Korea sinking the South Korean ship which is 100 times worse than anything Israel did.

    Did anyone watching Hannity see a video of Michelle O. and Harry Reid doing yoga? Wow!!
    To say it didn’t look too good would be an understatement. Very unflattering to the “first lady”. No class whatsoever.

  178. Where is the outcry on this blog about the South Korean soldiers dying? North Korea completely sank a South Korean ship yet I don’t see anyone hollering about North Korea or praying for the lost South Koreans. We only hear such craziness when Israel does stuff. Turkey provoked this confrontation because it wants to help Iran smuggle weapons into Gaza. If people wanted to get aid into Gaza they could have let the ships be off loaded in Israel or inspected by international parties or even Egypt.

  179. Doesn’t it seem a little strange that a ship which is carrying alleged “HUMANITARIAN” supplies would have a huge stockpile of USLESS IRON RODS LAYING ON DECK instead of being in a CARGO HOLD? DUMBELLS don’t know anything about what I am talking. Cargo ships have HOLDS which is where most cargo is carried while at sea. Only that cargo which is TOO LARGE to fit in a cargo hold is lashed down on deck,as was the case way back when the RUSSIANS were forced to remove the OFFENSIVE ballistic missiles from CUBA. They were covered and lashed down on the main deck of the Russian freighter. So why was four foot long iron rods laying in piles about the deck of only one of the ships. Well sir they were INTENDED to be used as WEAPONS by the INSURGENTS who were posing as passengers. They knew in advance that there would be a confrontation and that it could be used to make the Isrealis look as though they were senselessly attacking the ship. Anybody who has ever been aboard any kind of ship knows all to well that they DO NOT leave piles of iron rods, sledge hammers,etc lay about on deck so that in heavy weather the junk can be come lethal missiles. Only a total NITWIT would believe that. The piles of iron rods, axe handles, and sledge hammers were deliberately placed there only an hour or so before the confrontation with the Isrealis. These items were all INTENDED to be used as weapons,to be used in repelling boarders,as they came down the ropes from the helicopters. The Isreali boarders were TOTALLY JUSTIFIED IN FIRING UPON ANYONE WITH A POTENTIALLY LETHAL WEAPON in his/her hand. Our own police departments have the same policy,and very often ENFORCE IT with firearms, as well.

  180. What I find interesting is that when the wall went up between the West Bank and Israel, Palestinians were recorded by the UN to have relocated to Israel more than any other country on earth. Israel gives the Palestinians education and free health care. Israel gives Arabs the right to vote which is more than most Middle Eastern countries do.

    I agree! After all, here is something else to think about. Why was it that almost immediately there were demonstrators gathered in N.Y. City against Israel as well as in Europe? That tells me that this was a planned event to prod Israel. Another thing, Egypt also was in favor of the blockade. This was a very well planned, orchestrated event by terrorists. In fact, already a number have been identified as Al Qaeda affiliates.

    The jihadists sense weakness in and a certain sympathy by BHO, so ultimately the blame lies with the usurper right now. And more events will continue.

    From day one I have been praying that Soetoro will forget for just one second,what he is doing when he tries to conduct an attack against a soveriegn country. I pray that the country will be so enraged by his action that they take their case to the world court,and that this court will recognise the attack as a WAR CRIME. Should this occur it is doubtful that even our best LIARS in Congress,or the State Department could keep him from being subpoenaed by the HAGUE,to answer for the act. I believe that when it is determined for sure that he is not the LEGAL POTUS he will be immediately charged with WAR CRIMES, and HELD IN prison, until his trial. Let us see if he can beat the HAGUE!.

  184. Somali pirates are taking ships on the high seas and kidnapping innocents everyday. There is very little outcry about that and very little international news about it. The UN is hardly even working to stop it. It’s only a war crime it seems if Israel stops a ship. Yet Israel does this in self defense. Why is it that the Muslims can kill and murder anyone they want, but if a Jew or Christian tries to stop it, then it’s an international event?

  186. Ayers, Dohrn helped organize flotilla group
    By: Barbara Hollingsworth
Local Opinion Editor


    06/02/10 5:51 PM EDT
    Former Weather Underground leaders William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, as well as Code Pink founder Jodie Evans, helped organize the Free Gaza Movement, which launched the six-ship flotilla from Turkey to Israel that ended in a violent clash with Israeli Defense Forces, BigGovernment.com reported.
    In January, the trio were spotted in Egypt attempting to stir up crowds on the streets with 1,400 other left-wing activists after the Egyptian government refused to allow Free Gaza Movement members to enter the Gaza Strip. About 100 marchers were eventually allowed to cross the border, where they were met by former Hamas prime minister Ismail Haniyeh.
    BigGovernment quotes author Philip Weiss, who wrote that he witnessed Ayers and Dohrn arguing with fellow activists over whether to accept Egypt’s offer to allow a small number of them into Gaza:
    “Dohrn said that the principle of ‘All or none’ was a miserable one for activist politics. You always took what you could get and kept fighting for more. A European man in a red keffiyeh screamed at her that she was serving the fascisti. Her partner Bill Ayers gently confronted him and asked him why he was so out of control. Between getting on and off the bus, Dohrn, who wore a flower in her hair, said that she didn’t like the absolutist certainty of the people on the other side of the police barricades, and having been in the Weather Underground, she knew something about absolutist feeling.”

Michael Bennet, who had the support of the White House.

    Romanoff said he informed the White House that he would stay in the race. The revelation comes days after the White House confirmed that Rep. Joe Sestak was approached about an unpaid position in the administration if he dropped his campaign against Sen. Arlen Specter.

    *But in this case, Romanoff was offered paid positions in the administration, a clear difference from the Sestak case.

Otherwise I would never have been accepted in BOTH of the MILITARY SERVICES THAT I SERVED in both before,and during the KOREAN war. I have an HONORABLE DISCHARGE FROM BOTH to prove it. While I don’t lay any particular claim to being especially knowledgeable about anything,I do lay claim being not STUPID which is what many people think all Americans are. In reality it is their own misguided beliefs,and/or their own lack of intelligence which leads them to believe this sort of notion. I do think that the primary reason why we now have the USURPER in office is LARGELY because of people who essentially ARE NITWITS.

    That’s awful news about LTC Lakin. We all hoped he would get a fair trial. But, with all the lies, bullying and corruption that’s been going on over the last two plus years, did we really expect that he’d get a fair one? I didn’t. Now, LTC Lakin’s only hope is a vigorous defense, as you suggest, Starla. I don’t understand why he was denied discovery? Maybe there’s someone here more versed in law that can explain this?

  201. “ARMY REFUSES LAKIN’S REQUEST TO HAVE PRESIDENT OBAMA TESTIFY AND REFUSES TO ALLOW ANY WITNESSES OR EVIDENCE FROM HAWAII OR ELSEWHERE ON ELIGIBILITY QUESTION – HEARING TO PROCEED ON JUNE 11th.”

Well, the Judge got bonked upside the head by realizing the Commander had his facts straight and the law firmly in hand.

    Therefore, Walt has made tomorrow’s hearing on his arrest happen. No one else had anything to do with it. No one. So don’t go selling to the pawns that RAP had anything to do with the Judge’s decision to impanel an entirely new GJ to hear Walt’s case.

  216. Re: Lurker // June 2, 2010 at 11:12 pm

    I have limited legal knowledge. Here is only my humble opinion:

    As far as I know when a court has court officer’s it is up to them to obey and follow the rules of discovery under the direction of a judge or mediator who “interprets” the laws.

    What is happening in Lt. Col. Lakin’s
    case is as bad as what Nazi criminals did to people, and it is a sign of the EXTREME CORRUPTION and the EXTREME BREAKDOWN of the Lawlessness of our courts.

    This is a Military Court. Military Courts have different rules for Military Trials and for Military Discovery than civilian Courts.

    I heard Lakin’s attorney say that he did not think they could NOT deny Lakin discovery to defend himself, but if the Military Court did this, he would appeal to the Supreme Court for justice on Lt. Col. Lakin’s behalf.

    If an attorney wants to comment, please do so. We The People ARE the USA Power of the USA Government. We The People by law do not have to allow criminals to overthrow the USA people and the three branches of the USA government.

    I am for peaceful solutions to problems, and for peaceful civil disobedience, and the arrest of ALL criminals who need to be held accountable and held responsible and arrested by the USA Legal American citizens for their crimes.

    imho, the Supreme Court is just as corrupt as the Illegal Alien Usurper Barack Obama is, and there is truly NO justice alive and living in the Supreme Court and in the USA judicial courts.
    It will be up to GOD and the USA American citizens to surround and to protect Lt. Col. Lakin.

  217. OMG! Some sarcasm in here.

  218. Correction:

    I heard Lakin’s attorney say that he did not think they could deny Lakin discovery to defend himself, but if the Military Court did this, he would appeal to the Supreme Court for justice on Lt. Col. Lakin’s behalf.

  221. From reading all these comments today, I would say that someone is realy hyper or feeling rather high.

  222. Oh Lurker, why? Why can’t you believe I made such a statement. Do you think I’ve only just now become familiar with CW’s blog. Dude or Chic…NOT.

    I am challenging everyone here to go further in your current understanding of the truth. Why? Because the future of this country depends on your actions and your own self education.

    I know I can’t convince you of what I’ve come to believe. Why? B/c we are all leaders. We are the first wave. Therefore, it is incumbent for all of us to get out of our comfort zones and stretch. Why on earth is that such a bad thing.

    CW asks us everyday to do this. He asks us everyday to read his latest post w/links on all of the corruptness in Chi-town. I take the time to read these links which lead me to others and so on and so on. Do you?

  223. Sounds like the investigating officer is acting as judge and jury in LTC Lakin’s case, while, at the same time, violating LTC Lakin’s inalienable right to a fair hearing in a trial that upholds his legal rights to defend his actions.

    For example, part of Point 6 says:
    “The Defense quest to use a military justice forum to invalidate all military authority while undermining the authority of a sitting United States President certainly appears at first blush to be a nonjudiciable political question. . . . .
    it is my opinion the discovery items pertaining to the President’s credentials are not relevant to the proof of any element of the charges and specifications set forth in the charge sheet.”

    Sounds like this guy has inserted his own bias, interpretation and final judgement into the understanding of this case.

    using a military forum for a political question??
    invalidate all military authority???
    undermine the authority of a sitting US President??

    Are these the charges against LTC Lakin?

    I believe the jury is charged with making the determination of guilt or innocence regarding such charges, AFTER the defense has presented THEIR case with THEIR evidence.

    What formal, legal actions can be taken to remove a biased investigator who is violating the legal rights of the defendant?

  224. First off let me say I am 100% for the ‘people’ of Israel, but not their government.

    Just as I’m sure a lot of the Israeli people are for Americans, but not our government.

    The people in charge of their government are the culprits, not the innocent Israeli citizens themselves; just as We the People are innocent to the travesties those we’ve put in charge have committed around the world.

    Just because someone is against Israel’s government, does NOT mean they are anti-semitic.

    Would you like to know those bastards had to do with 9/11?

    US Army Refuses Lt Col Lakin’s Request for Discovery Evidence

    breakingnews

    This is an immediate grounds for a mistrial…

    I know what that all of the military fellas will say that this is how military trials operate, but this issue is a national security issue and that is the difference. There is overwhelming evidence that Obama is not who he says he is and that Lt Col Lakin’s allegations have merit, due to the constitutional crisis that this nation faces from a president with FOREIGN ties.

    The Joint Chief’s and the cowards beneath them have committed treason and violated their oaths in my opinion, because this could have been avoided before the 2008 election.

    Military trial or NOT, this is still America and Lt Col Lakin is being denied a fair trial and the American people need to demand that the Hawaiian officials be forced to testify UNDER OATH. This charade has gone on long enough.

    Barry’s daddy was NOT an American citizen; therefore Obama is not a natural born citizen, because BOTH parents need to be US Citizens.

    ARMY REFUSES LAKIN’S REQUEST TO HAVE PRESIDENT OBAMA TESTIFY AND REFUSES TO ALLOW ANY WITNESSES OR EVIDENCE FROM HAWAII OR ELSEWHERE ON ELIGIBILITY QUESTION – HEARING TO PROCEED ON JUNE 11th.

  226. I cant wait until the trial (Blago’s) starts tomorrow so we can stop hearling about this Israel stuff.. Its getting rather old.

    Hi Starla

    Thanks for taking the time to make it clear to me!

  228. Stuff it Helen. I’m not going to argue with you.

    Re: Lurker // June 2, 2010 at 11:12 pm

    I have limited legal knowledge. Here is only my humble opinion:

    As far as I know when a court has court officer’s it is up to them to obey and follow the rules of discovery under the direction of a judge or mediator who “interprets” the laws.
    ++++++++++++++++
    So, is this investigator a judge??? I didn’t think an investigator had the authority to make such a ruling about Discovery.

  230. Fernley Girl's avatar Fernley Girl

    Helen says she’s stating the truth when she says:

    “The Zionist Israeli government, through their actions, are putting every Jew in the crosshairs of hate and anger.”

    The truth is, Helen, that the Islamists have been killing Jews for centuries. (Or, as you would say, ” putting them in the crosshairs of hate and anger”), long before the State of Israel and it’s government even existed. The sole purpose of the formation of Hamas was to destroy the State of Israel. The people of Gaza voted for Hamas. One might draw the conclusion that the people of Gaza want to destroy Israel because they voted for people who want to destroy Israel. But you think it’s the government of Israel that wants to destroy the people of Israel, right?

    to quote Pooh, “Oh, bother.”

  231. I hope it dont take weeks to get the jury seated.

    Amen, amy!!!!!!

  233. In essence, this investigator has already decided LTC Lakink’s case, without addressing ANY evidence, and based on his own opinion.

    I reiterate. We have JURIES to avoid this very miscarriage of justice.

    Sounds like grounds for a mistrial, already.

    US Army Refuses Lt Col Lakin’s Request for Discovery Evidence
    ******************
    I was told by an attorney on another blog that the burden of proof regarding Zero’s eligibility was on Lakin. He said that there was no reason for the court to allow discovery. I wish he’d been wrong.

  235. Starla & Pete

    At this point in Lakin’s Court Martial, if he has indeed been DENIED discovery, there will be plenty of justification to appeal to the SCOTUS. I have a strong feeling though that they will decline to accept it. They will say it is a military matter ,and if an appeal is attempted it should be directed to the military prosecutor’s office. If the JAG is under the thumb of Soetoro it will be evident very quickly that Lakin will not receive a fair court martial,and if that is the case which prevails he will be convicted. However there is one chance for him. If Soetoro is somehow brought to justice and is himself convicted, then Lakin’s conviction would be overturned, and Lakin would have the right to SUE the Federal Government,Soetoro, the prosecutor, and ALL who were either voluntarily, or even involuntarily involved with his illegal court martial. It is entirely possible that he could receive a DISHONERABLE discharge from his service and be stripped of all rank,and /or backpay. Even that which may be legally due him. But all of this would be set aside should Soetoro be PROVEN beyond reasonable doubt to be a usurper,after which Lakin would be in a unique position to sue everyone who was even remotely involved in his conviction. Also his dishonerable discharge would have to be exponged from ALL military records, and he would have the option of receiving full military pay retroactively. I believe that he could also collect big time from the US Government for his FRAUDULANT trial and resultant conviction. This would be punitive damages. He would be justified in sueing for at least $500,000,000.00.

  236. From a previous post I made

    Nuke the Well and “Stop the Leak”

    Now, I find others who seem to think I’m not out in left field. (Note I have not verified this post, made DC Craigs List)

    Since the latest assessment of the emergency relief well being drilled to stop the leak has been moved back from August to around Christmas time, we really need to move in a different direction and take a cue from the russians, who are real pioneers in deep water drilling. On at least five occasions, the russians ran into serious problems with massive leaks. So what was their solution, they employed small tactical nuclear weapons to seal the leaks. They drilled holes somewhere in the area of 18,000 feet, deposited the warheads in the holes and detonated them. The deep under sea explosion caused the wells to collapse in on themselves and sealed the leak in the process. When you consider the less than stellar president we have in office, the rabid environmentalist movement’s influence in the democratic party, and the peace at any cost even to the point of our own national security crowd, the chances of this method ever even being discussed, let alone ever getting around to the planning stage is less than nil. In this political environment this thing’s going to be hanging around for awhile.

  237. Folks, tomorrow is a new day. Thank the good Lord.

    FG – before you go off hald cocked site your source. Enlighten me. Educate me.

    What I know is this – the Israel government is doing everything it can to make Islam my enemy. My country has shed blood and treasure in Iraq and Afghanistan for these senseless wars. Now we are going after Pakistan with drones operated from the safe harbor of America. What in the hell have the Pakistani’s done to warrant such aggression from America?

    What did Iraq or Afghanistan governments do? Tell me. If it’s the bogus a$$ meme of AQ living in caves wanting to do harm to us well wake the hell up – Osama has been in the ground since 2002. Moreover, AQ is a concoction of our own damned CIA. You don’t need to believe me. Just google BBC+AlQueda and you’ll get plenty of information.

    I have no reason to blow air up your arses. None.

    My only position is this and it will not change. I love my country, and the sooner we patriots get close to being on the same page the sooner we will wield power to take back our country. That’s it. Nothing more. Nothing less.

    Years ago in Illinois I had to run parts to O’Hare on occasion. We shipped material to Israel, but we were not allowed to identify in any way that it was destined for Israel, so I asked our Export Manager why? She said and I will never forget it, it is because “some nut might stick a bomb in the package”. This was a time when the terrorists before this latest batch of terrorists were driving the entire world insane with their murders, carnage and insanity. So many times I remember walking through O’ Hare seeing all the happy people, children, parents, grandparents, the regular everybody’s going about their business wondering was today going to be the day “some nut” strikes? Federal Air Marshals-our orders are “shoot to kill” they were everywhere and by then they knew how to “blend”. Due to knowing their enemy Israel is on high alert 24/7 they cannot afford to make one small mistake, they know the consequences and they are horrific.
    They are a sovereign nation who have a right to defend themselves against an enemy who uses the tactics of Hitler’s SS, Japanese sneak attacks and a little kamikaze imitation. By the way Israel thank you for being a loyal allies all these years, even when the United States did not seem to return the favor.

    Here’s part of the article. This should scare the hello out of all of you:

    Imagine the loss of control that local governments will face when first responder unions no longer have to deal with local rules and laws but can force a federal one-size-fits-all style rule on all local governments. Local governments will no longer be able to determine pay scales and benefits and will lose control of their own ability to budget. Reid’s plan will also completely remove the ability of voters to have any say in local matters as a top down control from Washington will rule the day where it concerns local police, fire and other first responders.

    Also remember, if a local government wants to fire a policeman or fireman they now have to deal with local laws and home-based unions. If H.R.413 passes no local government will be able to fire a cop or fireman without appealing to the federal government, a source far, far removed from the local area and a source completely unfamiliar with the needs and interests of that local area.

    FG – before you go off hald cocked site your source. Enlighten me. Educate me

    Actually, the word is “cite”, not “site”. And, it’s “half-cocked”, with a hyphen.
    From wikepedia:

    “Muslim relations with Jews in Spain were not always peaceful, however. The eleventh century saw Muslim pogroms against Jews in Spain; those occurred in Córdoba in 1011 and in Granada in 1066.[60] In the 1066 Granada massacre, a Muslim mob crucified the Jewish vizier Joseph ibn Naghrela and massacred about 4,000 Jews.[69] The Muslim grievance involved was that some Jews had become wealthy, and others had advanced to positions of power.[60]

    The Almohad dynasty, which overthrew the dynasty that ran Spain during the early Muslim era, offered Christians and Jews the choice of conversion or expulsion; in 1165, one of their rulers ordered that all Jews in the country convert on pain of death (forcing the Jewish rabbi, theologian, philosopher, and physician Maimonides to feign conversion to Islam before fleeing the country). In Egypt, Maimonides resumed practicing Judaism openly only to be accused of apostasy. He was saved from death by Saladin’s chief administrator, who held that conversion under coercion is invalid.”

    From: http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp

    Hamas Covenant 1988
    The Covenant
    of the
    Islamic Resistance Movement
    18 August 1988

    In The Name Of The Most Merciful Allah

    “Ye are the best nation that hath been raised up unto mankind: ye command that which is just, and ye forbid that which is unjust, and ye believe in Allah. And if they who have received the scriptures had believed, it had surely been the better for them: there are believers among them, but the greater part of them are transgressors. They shall not hurt you, unless with a slight hurt; and if they fight against you, they shall turn their backs to you, and they shall not be helped. They are smitten with vileness wheresoever they are found; unless they obtain security by entering into a treaty with Allah, and a treaty with men; and they draw on themselves indignation from Allah, and they are afflicted with poverty. This they suffer, because they disbelieved the signs of Allah, and slew the prophets unjustly; this, because they were rebellious, and transgressed.” (Al-Imran – verses 109-111).

    Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it” (The Martyr, Imam Hassan al-Banna, of blessed memory).”

  244. Also from Point 6:

    “In my view, our constitutional jurisprudence allows Congress alone, and not a military judicial body, to put the President’s credentials on trial.”

    That may be the investigator’s view but he is wrong.

    WRONG. Any citizen of the US has the right to access the Presidents credentials. (The authors of the Constitution CLEARLY emphasize and encourage the exercise of the citizen’s right to so do.)

    WRONG. Military personnel take an oath to support the Constitution (which has precedent over o.’s illegally mandated oath to himself, coerced upon our military). Following the commands of an ineligible CinC violates that oath. EVERYONE in the military has the right to verfied documentation and proof that the CinC is legally authorized to give them orders, according to the Constitution. They also have the right to a speedy, open and completely transparent resolution to any doubts or discrepancies that occur.

    WRONG. LTC Lakin is on trial here, not the President’s credentials. LTC Lakins’ LIFE is on trial here. Documentation (or lack thereof) of the o.’s credentials to BE President is material evidence in defense of LTC Lakin’s actions. LTC Lakin’s actions are about his OATH to uphold the Constitution, NOT about putting the (non)President on trial. (Always has to be about o., doesn’t it???)

    WRONG. Our entire way of life is based on the “consent of the governed,” not on tyrannical manipulation, coercion, tricks (or Alinsky tactics) and mind games, like “You can’t see my records, ha ha ha ha. You just have to believe whatever I tell you, because I say so.” The US President is not above the law, the Constitution, or any U.S. citizen. The US President does not have the right to withhold proof of his identity and eligibility from US citizens. No US officer has that right.

    Military folks CONSENT to serve, based on the rights and protections afforded them by our Constitution and Declaration of Independence.

    Denying LTC Lakin his defense is a violation of those rights and protections.

  245. Actually, o., himself, by his own words about his alleged parents has proved his own ineligibility.

  247. FG – maybe you should become my editor. Appreciate your grammatical corrections. Always welcomed.

    Understand, I am not defending Islam anymor than I am defending Israel.

    Neither is right or wrong. What I am defending is my own country, called America. The challenges that have existed b/w Islam and Zionism is a challenge that belongs to them NOT America. Ally or no ally, America’s problems should not be other countries problems.

    As I stated before and will again, I am only concerned about my country, America. I am tired of the division and hatred spewing from both religions and wish that my Christian nation stay the hell out of Islam and Judaism’s issues.

    Too much blood and treasure on the American side has been shed due to these divisions and we, as a country, that is, America, have no business attempting to neutralize, let alone, fight Israel’s wars. I don’t see them sending troops into Afghanistan, Iraq and now Pakistan. Do you? Why on earth should our young men and women be fighting their wars?

    And allow me to take this one step further, FG. Name one incident that the Muslim terrorists ever did harm to our people? Do not cite 911. Do not cite the Christmas Crotch Bomber. Do not cite the Ft. Hood. Do not cite the Times Square bomber.

    I have more than enough “facts” for each incident to point to your beloved Israel or the CIA. So, please, I ask you not to go there.

    Do Muslims do harm to their girls, wives and Mosques, yes. Without question and it’s quite disturbing.

  249. My apologies. I’m on a roll here.

    I also don’t get this reasoning.
    Point 5 says:

    “The government does not charge that the (non)*President gave an order directly to LTC Lakin.”

    Yet, he says the defense is “undermining the authority of a sitting United States President (not).”

    So he’s saying LTC Lakin can’t involve o. because o. didn’t personally give LTC Lakin an order BUT by refusing the orders that o. didn’t personally give him, LTC Lakin IS undermining the CinC’s authority.

    Seems like that reasoning actually works in LTC Lakin’s favor, if the investigator wasn’t imposing his own biases on the case.

    Please excuse the (insert). I cannot bring myself to call o. — President.

    Yes. Very sad that often the first people to risk their lives and careers to resist injustice on the basis of truth end up suffering the most. Then, later, we all reap the benefits of their sacrifices.

    The Revolutionary War was like that. Not everyone fought. Not everyone resisted the British, nor even wanted to.

    LTC Lakin strikes me as a person who is doing what he feels called to do in order to fulfill his own oath to the Constitution. His rights, imo, trump all political and legal mumbo jumbo that obfuscate the simple, very simple, root issue.

    If the military court will not allow that simle, core issue into the light to be weighed and adjucated, then the court has essentially lost itself in all the legal and procedural mumbo jumbo and no longer serves the function mandated by our founders and ratified by out states.

    I would like to see LTC Lakin’s simple right to a legal CinC upheld, even if his defense was deemed not scholarly enough for the investigator.

    (Although too bad his defense lawyer(s) haven’t been reading the patriot blogs. Tons of material at C.W. alone, including a “basis in law” (Point 6)for the proposition that “military orders issued by superiors to juniors are all “invalidated” during the President improperly holds office.” (Point 5)

    The Investigating Officer is “supposed” to be working for the defense. Why this one is not, I don’t understand. The whole purpose of a trial is to get at the truth. It appears like they already know the truth and don’t want to make it public or official.

Barry Soetoro aka Barack Obama, et al, lawsuit now pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. The Judge in question is Judge Robertson who ruled the issue of “the President’s citizenship was raised, vetted, blogged, texted, twittered, and was otherwise massaged by America’s vigilant citizenry…,” among numerous other bias statements. Atty Hemenway cites numerous cases including a SCOTUS case regarding bias and the recusal of Judges. The Motion for Recusal embedded below the snippet speaks for itself and is well worth the time to read.

  259. How many of today’s posters are in fact aligned with Lyndon LaRouche? Like Helen for example? How many are aligned with Ron Paul?

    Either way I have been reading a lot of disinformation about the flotilla – especially Helen’s disinformation.

    Helen, you claim to have done religious studies, but what you have studied is “comparitive religion”. It has not given you the truth about Islam!! Why do you support those who hate gays to the point that gays are hanged and then left hanging in the streets? Do not believe me? It is a regular occurrence in Iran!! Then there is the fact that you defend a very mysongist attitude – like they demand that women wear burqas and when they even show a small amount of flesh the women get bashed. You do not believe me? Try living in Saudi Arabia, and Afghanistan under the Taliban. Very scary stuff.

    Then there is the false comparison between those who commit murder-suicide and Christian martyrs. If you knew Scripture then you would not make such a stupid comparison. The suicide bombers are murderers. They have forever condemned themselves to hell. If you knew anything at all about the persecution of the early Christians, which you do not, then you would know that they were martyred for refusing to offer sacrifices to the Roman emperor as if he was a god…. there is a very huge credibility gap where your comparative religious studies are concerned.

    The fact is that the Israeli commandos met with resistance on one boat only. The incident was taped. The Israelis had paint ball guns and they were met with offensive weapons. The first commandos were severely beaten and one was thrown from the upper deck to a lower deck. Those men lying in wait for the commandos had knives, guns and other weapons. The Israelis did not fire the first shot.

    The fact is that the IHH is associated with the Muslim Brotherhood and it is a banned terrorist organisation in the USA.

    The fact is that in Gaza the Israeli settlers had left behind glasshouses that were destroyed. The Gazans do not suffer in the Gaza strip. They get all the appropriate humanitarian aid. What they do not receive are the weapons that the IHH was attempting to smuggle into Gaza.

    I should point out that I find you to be very self-opiniated, not all that different from the jerk in the White House.

    It is unfortunate but Helen’s constant rants today have created a lot of unnecessary tension. She believes what she is convinced of – regardless – and manifests what appears to be a great deal of arrogance in the process.

  262. I am shocked and dismayed that the military is siding with Obama and not forcing the BC issue. How in the world has Obama have so much power that even the military will not follow the law?
    He has to be someone of great importance and not just a half black man that was sired by a black man from Kenya….he is someone’s son that has alot of power, perhaps someone’s illegitimate son. This can be the only answer.

    Y’all still don’t get it. You don’t seem to appreciate the sacrifices your fellow countrymen/women are making on your behalf. When are you going to step up and do the same. Honestly. Blogging doesn’t do it…action does…or should I take a page from Bill and say “walk the talk”. Damned tired of the talk my dear friends. Damned tired.

    Free Speech, Cabby, & Tenn

    I have almost completed most of my research on restore america plan (RAP). I belive I was wrong about LaRouche even though RAP seems to belive in alot of LaRouche theories. Guess who… Ron Paul!! he was my second guess..lol. I have found alot of info. about (RAP) but I have decided to not post it here. I will forward it later today to J/S at the site they are posting at and let them come to their own conclusions.

    Snip –

    Ron pointed the way then thanked us for inviting him to the Revolution. He has dedicated his life to serving and educating others. Today our Founders are dead and Ron is 72 years old. His next term in Congress will be his last. He has grown old in service to the cause of freedom and if you ask him he will tell you that he hopes that we get to live the future that includes a gold-backed currency, clean fuel, and homes we can own absolutely. A grandfather 18 times over, this is what he wants for his own grandchildren, too. We can make those hopes reality; you can be part of the movement that converts dream to simple fact.

    The means have been coalescing in unexpected places. While Ron Paul was standing alone for freedom in Congress, dismissed as irrelevant to the direction of government and politics, the battle over how the people would take back control of their money was being decided.

    That part of the story started with another man who worked and dreamed. This man dreamed of a world where knowledge was available cheaply and to everyone; where wealth was secure and people dealt with each other with compassion. In 2000 Clive Boustred knew nothing about the Constitution and he had never heard of Ron Paul. But he would learn.

    Clive Boustred did not intend to study the Constitution. A wealthy and successful entrepreneur in Silicon Valley, he intended to give people everywhere a banking system that eliminated the use of interest and fees. He did not know that the FED was a private corporation. What you don’t know, he found out, could kill you.

    Moving to the United States after college in London, he had became the guru of corporate strategy for such corporations as Sun Microsystems, Intuit, and others. He designed the most advanced banking systems in the world today before deciding to launch his own banking system in early 2001.

    The announcement in early 2001 that Russia’s Duma had given Boustred’s company the Mir Satellite, to be used as a peace station circling the Earth, along with the revelation on the new banking system, electrified the world and the Federal Reserve Bank. Clive Boustred has survived three separate assassination attempts in the last seven years. He was in jail when he first conceived the idea of CopperCards.

    Snip-

    The tools that will set us free come both from the legacy of the Constitution and Common Law, commended to us by Ron Paul, and from the logical outgrowth of technology originated by Clive Boustred. That technology reduces the ‘float’ of banking down to nothing, making it possible to have a system of banking and trading that is a simple but elegant service that costs us nothing. No interest. No fees. Nothing. Boustred realized that the cost was tiny and easily borne as a business expense of businesses who would be paying far less with this technology than the fees charged to implement credit cards. It will be run as a not-for-profit trust, ensuring that money will never again be used by those to steal. That was Clive Boustred’s plan in 2001. That is what CopperCards Bank will carry out today.

    Old salt – we seem to be headed for a clash. Your service is respected. I served also, with an honorable discharge, you don’t have anything over me. That said, we’re on a level playing field. I will attempt to keep any discussion free of name calling and hope you will too.

    One of the main topics yesterday was wheather the government of Israel was a good friend and ally. I presented some information to show it was not. You were late in the discussion so I may have repost.

    So if you want to begin again, please concisely state your ‘beef’. We will go from there.

  266. Vice-President Joe Biden Defends Israel

    Here is video of Vice-President Joe Biden defending Israel’s right to know what is on ships bound for Gaza. Biden said they have the right to prevent weapons from reaching Hamas.

  267. Haneen Zuabi is a Palestinian Arab who joined the Israeli Knesset in 2009, elected from the Tajamu Party “known for its Palestinian nationalist platform.” So, perhaps the next time you cite that a member of the Israeli Knesset condemns Israeli actions (in enforcing the blockade of arms to Gaza) – and I have no doubt you will widely distribute this grossly misleading claim – you might want to educate readers by clarifying Ms. Zuabi’s origins. (Now, how will you demonize a people that allows its ‘enemies’ to help run the government?)

  268. Helen,

    I know you and you’ll be back to try to “bitch slap” me as you say. Call this “self defense”.

    You can say your not with RAP but why do you post these comments on a RAP blog??? Casper? Want to explain yourself ??? I am not looking for a battle, but RAP has you all T. R.A.P. E.D in the Kool – Aid aile!!!

    g7enn – your post is outstanding. I manage a blog called The T-Room, http://www.t-room.us, and hope you don’t mind, but reposted it in the current comment section. I stated that I would not add your user name out of respect for your anonymity AND I chose not to identify where the comment was posted. You are welcomed to take credit for, but that is your choice. Otherwise, I wanted to be certain my readers benefited from your very perceptive and thorough post.

    This is also my first time posting, but have been following Benjamin’s work for some time now.

    Like many of you, I’m sick to death of this waiting game. Get it over with already. Puhleeeeeze!

    harondaddy – casper’s packages are farm claim lawsuits won long ago all the way to the supreme court, plus some other programs that individuals bought into in the past 30 years, they represent trillions of dollars to be paid out around the world to people who are in them, so that is why he is so concerned about them, they also must be released before other programs come to the average people around the world to. so the packages are important – just not sure if someone is not giving casper the run around concerning them.

    BUT here is the main thing I wanted to share: several groups of evil people know how to make clones and halograms, halograms are some kind of magic and the people look just like you and me would look in a crowd, NOW suppose Obama was cloned by more than one group, which one belongs to which group, this could really be the case. i read recently that clones are the old technology, halograms are the latest and best way to go, these people are so sick with power anything could be possible. It was Russia who killed the original Jimmy Carter when he went to Russia for the first time for a meeting, they programmed their version and sent him back, it only took the USA bad guys a few days to figure out they did that. now think, the orginial is dead, and their clone is still alive, a ex miliatary general who was associated with the white house spilled these beans, it is also said that Carter knows he is a clone and if/when true exposure happens, he will tell his story to the world, some benevenlent beings are keeping him alive to tell his story when needed. sounds bizarre, but that is in the public domian. our guys tried to kill him a couple of times after he found this out, but now they leave him alone, and he trys to do good for the world.

    so the story to come will blow alot of peoples minds wide open.

    so back to Obama, which groups’s clone do we now have????
