Ahmadinejad Re-elected: Israel and Obama’s Iran Puzzle
By Ramzy Baroud
The election victory of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is likely to complicate US President Barack Obama’s new approach to his country’s conflict with Iran. The reason behind the foreseen obstacle is neither the US nor Iran’s refusal to engage in future dialogue but rather Israel’s insistence on a hard-line approach to the problem.
Iran’s presidential elections on June 12 were positioned to represent another fight between Middle Eastern ‘moderates’ vs. ‘extremists’. That depiction, which conveniently divided the Middle East – according to the prevailing US foreign policy discourse - to pro-American and anti-American camps was hardly as clear in the Iranian case as it was in Palestine and most recently in Lebanon.
Fuck Compassion: We whack ’em and stack ’em!
By Jason Miller
Despite pleas to save the animals, Johnson County officials will employ sharpshooters and bow hunters to solve the problem of too many deer in Shawnee Mission Park.
–The Kansas City Star, June 17, 2009
Daniel Whitesel says he is forced to traverse a “literal minefield of deer poop” when he plays golf nearby.
He can watch from his home office as whitetail deer devastate his flowers and shrubs. “They walk down the street like taxpayers,” he said.
Twelve Angry White People: Jury Nullification in a Pennsylvania Coal Town
by Walter Brasch
Luis Eduardo Ramirez-Zavalo, 25, died in June 2008 after a beating by
a gang of drunken Shenandoah Valley Pa., High School football players.
The Schuylkill County, Pa., justice system managed to do something that insurance actuaries do with mixed results--it determined not only the penalty for threats to a human life, but also the value of a human life.
HALT CHENEY'S AND NOW OBAMA'S COVERT IRAN OPERATIONS
Allen L Roland
Protestor killed by Iran government forces (Twitter)
In March of 2002 Dick Cheney appointed his own daughter Elizabeth to head a shadow operation (ISOG) whose covert purpose was to fund dissident groups in Iran ~ money which may have been used to fund and arm terrorists. Obama has now evidently picked up where the Cheney's left off:
If you have any doubt that a shadow Cheney presidency existed during the last eight years that cast its evil over everything from the 9/11cover-up to Quantanamo ~ than picture Dick Cheney appointing his own daughter in 2002 to head up a secretive organization in Iran whose purpose was to fund terrorists ~ and which reported directly to Darth Vader himself, Dick Cheney. And why would Cheney appoint his own daughter ? Because she was the only person he could trust on his, self declared, journey to the dark side for she certainly would not testify against him. They both are now neck deep in deception and lies which is why they are openly defending their actions together on the mainstream TV circuit.

Views from Iran, e-mails from an Iranian
Emily Spence
(Tuesday, 16 June 2009) By Vahab, e-mails from an Iranian
Emily,
Internet very very slow here. Almost non-existent. Yesterday it was not connected at all. Also cell-phones are faulty most of the times. SMS messages are totally off.
Last night, they started to dismount satellite dishes from the roof tops, disconnecting Iranians from satellite TV (outer world). The religious dictatorship is trying to block any effective communication path between people inside Iran and between Iran and outside world.
Evidence for a New Nuremberg: Obama's Nazi Health Plan
by Nancy Spannaus
June 4—When the Obama economic team, dominated by the larcenous economics advisor Larry Summers, and murderous accountant and Budget Director Peter Orszag, launched their offensive to ram through the Administration's Nazi health "reform" June 2, they thought they would have their day. Instead, they found themselves confronted and exposed as the purveyors of a Hitler genocide plan, that would condemn millions of Americans to death, as having what Hitler called "lives not worthy to be lived."
The Obama team showed no shame. Again and again, burnished under a patina of bureaucratic jargon, they demanded hundreds of millions of dollars in cuts for the most vulnerable of American citizens, insisted upon stopping so-called unnecessary medical care for as much as a third of the American population, and put their version of fiscal health before the lives of people. While they brazenly pour trillions of dollars of Federal monies into the very banking institutions which have brought the world economy to its knees, they tell American citizens, particularly those on Medicare and Medicaid, that they are "overconsuming" health care, and have to be stopped, "for their own good."
Iran's Election and US - Iranian Relations
Stephen Lendman
In the run-up to Iran's June 12 presidential election, early indications suggested the media's reaction if the wrong candidate won. On June 7, New York Times writer Robert Worth reported "a surge of energy (for) Mir Hussein Mousavi, a reformist who is the leading contender to defeat Mr. Ahmadinejad (and) a new unofficial poll (has him well ahead) with 54 percent of respondents saying they would vote for him compared with 39 percent for Mr. Ahmadinejad." No mention of who conducted the poll, how it was done, what interests they represented, or if Mousavi winning might be the wrong result. More on that below.
Journalist — Occupied Palestine Jewish Chabad's Genocidal Morality, The Fanatical US-based Organization Exposed
By Khalid Amayreh
Religious Zionism promoting for the annihilation of Arabs and
non-Jews is rife, not only amongst Israelis, but also adopted by
Israel's government, (Reuters photo)
"The only way to fight a moral war is the Jewish way. Destroy their holy sites; kill their men, women, children, and even cattle. "These are not the words of a loony Jewish terrorist, marauding through the hills of the West Bank in search for an elderly Arab peasant or shepherd to kill.
In fact, these words were uttered last week by Manis Friedman, a prominent and highly-respected Chabad-lubavitch rabbi who is widely admired among many Orthodox Jews, especially in the United States.
Writing in response to a question posed by Moment Magazine for its "Ask the Rabbis" feature, the Minnesota-based rabbi argued that "if we followed this wisdom (killing innocent Arab men, women and children), there would be no civilian casualties, no children in the line of fire, no false sense of righteousness, in fact, no war."
Iranian Elections: The ‘Stolen Elections’ Hoax
James Petras
“Change for the poor means food and jobs, not a relaxed dress code or mixed recreation…Politics in Iran is a lot more about class war than religion.” = Financial Times Editorial, June 15 2009
Introduction
There is hardly any election, in which the White House has a significant stake, where the electoral defeat of the pro-US candidate is not denounced as illegitimate by the entire political and mass media elite. In the most recent period, the White House and its camp followers cried foul following the free (and monitored) elections in Venezuela and Gaza, while joyously fabricating an ‘electoral success’ in Lebanon despite the fact that the Hezbollah-led coalition received over 53% of the vote.
