"End the Siege of Gaza" Rally at Israeli Embassy
by William Hughes
Washington, D.C. “Occupation is a crime,” said Brian Becker, National Coordinator of the ANSWER Coalition. He spoke, under a cloudy sky, at a spirited rally in front of the heavily fortified Israeli Embassy, in this capital city, on Saturday afternoon, June 6, 2009. Mr. Becker continued: “That’s why we’re here. The people of the United States are spending through our tax dollars, $15 million a day for a criminal occupation. Instead of killing poor people in Gaza and in the West Bank, let’s use that money for education, and housing and health care to let children live, not only in Gaza, but right here in Washington, D.C.”
SPECIAL REPORT: President Obama Flaunts His Nero Complex
Executive Intelligence Review
April 11, 2009, Lyndon LaRouche stunned the world, by publicly declaring, during an international webcast, that President Barack Obama was suffering from a severe Narcissistic disorder, and that his behavior, during a recent overseas trip, highlighted by a shameless fawning before the Queen of England, resembled that of the infamous Emperor Nero.
The reaction, at the time, to LaRouche's bold public diagnosis, was sharp. Even among a small, but well-placed group of officials, within the institution of the Presidency, who had drawn much the same conclusion, after the President's bizarre and irrational behavior throughout his first European—indeed, his first overseas—tour since taking office, there was a reaction against LaRouche's oh-so-public pronouncement.
But LaRouche, a student of both history and psychology, understood that someone suffering from an acute Narcissistic Disorder, has to be confronted—repeatedly, and with ever-growing candor—if he is to ever break free of the syndrome and return to the world of reality.
Government Gone Mad
Joel S. Hirschhorn
"Perhaps most Americans deserve the
federal government they have."
Perhaps most Americans deserve the federal government they have. A government that, contrary to the lofty rhetoric of Barack Obama, is pure politics as usual. A government that is as corrupted by moneyed interests as ever. A government that is as dysfunctional and inefficient as ever.
A government that should have prevented the current recession but did not and now has spent horrendous amounts of money that has largely been wasted. A government that has put many future generations in debt. A government that makes a mockery out of the concept of democracy.
As Robert J. Samuelson has aptly said, the federal $787 billion stimulus package is “mostly a political exercise, designed to claim credit for any recovery, shower benefits on favored constituencies and signal support for fashionable causes. As a result, much of the stimulus’s potential benefit has been squandered.”
Are All Wars Gang Wars?
Curt Day
The contrast could not be more stark. When we think of gang wars, we think of senseless killings, cruelty, innocent children getting shot, drugs, and turf battles. When we think of the wars our own troops fight, we think of sacrifice, freedom, honor, and loyalty. So to compare gang wars to the wars our country's troops fight seems to show the height of ingratitude, ignorance, contempt, idiocy, and lunacy. To compare gang wars and our nation's wars would indicate the worst of a person until we read Augustine and former Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler.
CHENEY CAN RUN BUT CAN'T HIDE HIS ABUSES OF POWER
Allen L Roland
Three unindicted war criminals march to their inevitable fate
Dick Cheney can run from prosecution but eventually he will have to face his blatant misuse of power which includes the 9/11 cover-up, the illegal war, occupation and economic rape of Iraq, assassination rings, torture and illegal covert operations in Iran:
YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE ~ You can try to escape from what you fear, but eventually you will have to face it. The saying originated in the United States in the 1940s, and is attributed to the American boxer Joe Louis (1914-81), who was quoted thus on the eve of his fight with the light heavyweight champion Billy Conn. It (the phrase) is often used in a political context. From "Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and Sayings" by Gregory Y. Titelman (Random House, New York, 1996).
What is globalization doing to the world of work, both domestically and internationally?
Wanda Marie Woodward
How does my own work reflect the forces of the global economy? What is an evaluation and description of one organized effort to address problems of the workplace?
The global economy is impacting the workplace both in terms of the types of jobs that are being created versus those that are disappearing and also in terms of the work environment, wages and benefits. Pilisuk (1998) refers to the hidden nature of structural, cultural and direct violence as it pertains to the manifest ways that violence, particularly against females and children, surfaces albeit not in ways which allow people to see that it is a symptom of the globalized economy. Pilisuk (1998) defines the global economy as “a system of exchange in which all goods, services, and information and the resources to produce or distribute them are available for purchase in a single marketplace” (p. 200).
Undoing IMPUNITY — ICC States Rein in Rogue Cop
Dr. Carolyn LaDelle Bennett
By continuing its capricious and insular rulemaking outside the International Criminal Court the current government in Washington forestalls a necessary correction of prior and persisting lawlessness surrounding U.S. “war-on-terror” detentions — Dilemmas deepening dilemmas.
Wouldn’t it be simpler and a better way to resolve mounting dilemmas to obey and be held accountable by the same rule of law to which other countries and their heads of state and citizens and allies are held accountable?
“The Netherlands should not consider taking Guantanamo Bay detainees,” Dutch MEP, Christian Democrat Wilhelmus (Wim) van de Camp said this week, “until the United States first recognises the International Criminal Court (ICC) based in The Hague.”
Obamacare: A Health Care Rationing Scheme to Enrich Insurers, Drug Companies and Large Hospital Chains
by Stephen Lendman
On February 24, Barack Obama told a joint session of Congress that "we must....address the crushing cost of health care....caus(ing) a bankruptcy in America every thirty seconds. By the end of the year, it could cause 1.5 million Americans to lose their homes. In (each of) the last eight years....one million....Americans have lost their health insurance....Given these facts, we can no longer afford to put health care reform on hold....health care reform cannot wait, it must not wait, and it will not wait another year." Behind the facade of reform, Obama and leading Democrats ruled universal, single-payer coverage off the table before debate even began. Instead they've focused on taxing more, rationing care, placing profits above human need, disdaining vital change, shifting the cost burden to individuals and requiring everyone to be insured; imposing fines up to $1000 for non-compliance, and making a broken system even worse.
Obey Jesus Christ or the Government
By Tony Soldo
All true Christians must disconnect themselves from all organized groups of men who's purpose is to control, judge, punish, interfere with, other men. This includes all governments, business corporations, and even religions.
The only form of government that true Christians submit themselves to is the Kingdom of Heaven, which true Christians are citizens of, and Jesus Christ is the only authority and King, and Jesus commands His followers to obey His commands found in the New Testament Gospels.
Commandment 1) Love the Lord God with all your heart, soul, and mind.
Commandment 2) Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
As for Romans 13, that command is null and void if it goes against the commands of Jesus Christ, and all governments do things that go against the teachings and commands of Jesus Christ, including, and especially the US Empire, who is Babylon of Revelation chapters 17 and 18, but the US government has sent out alerts to all Christian organizations telling the pastors to teach Romans 13.
Fading Into Mist...
Sheila Samples
If you keep on excusing, you eventually give your blessing to the slave camp, to cowardly force, to organized executioners, to the cynicism of great political monsters; you finally hand over your brothers~~Albert Camus
There is no subject more restricted nor more controlled in the United States than a critical discussion of Israel. Balanced argument is ignored while each word is parsed -- and condemned. It's strange that we are free to rant and rave and point out the war crimes of our own administration -- of all other administrations throughout the world -- but not those of Israel. The few who dare to question the damage Israel has wrought throughout the Middle East for decades are immediately labeled "anti-Semitic," and are in danger of losing their friends, jobs, their reputations and, if they persist, their country -- for America has zero tolerance for those who recognize Israel's brutality.
