Obama picks pro-Israel hardliner for top post

During the United States election campaign, racists and pro-Israel hardliners tried to make an issue out of President-elect Barack Obama's middle name, Hussein. Such people might take comfort in another middle name, that of Obama's pick for White House Chief of Staff: Rahm Israel Emanuel.

Emanuel is Obama's first high-level appointment and it's one likely to disappointment those who hoped the president-elect would break with the George W. Bush Administration's pro-Israel policies. White House Chief of Staff is often considered the most powerful office in the executive branch, next to the president. Obama has offered Emanuel the position according to Democratic party sources cited by media including Reuters and The New York Times. While Emanuel is expected to accept the post, that had not been confirmed by Wednesday evening the day after the election.

Is Obama Serious About Protecting Our Liberty?

http://georgewashington2.blogspot.com/2008/11/is-obama-serious-about-protecting.html

Obama, a former Constitutional law professor, promised during his campaign to curb the unconstitutional practices of the executive branch.

If he is serious about this, he must appoint vigorous advocates for constitutional principles and the rule of law to serve as heads of the following agencies:

  • Department of Justice
  • FBI
  • CIA
  • Treasury (which oversees the Secret Service and - of course - the bailouts)
  • NSA

The Sec Def should similarly be someone who respects the rights of civilian populations.

Our first order of business must be to pressure Obama to make decent appointments in these areas, in order to insure that liberty is restored.

Now That Obama Has Won . . . There is No Excuse

http://georgewashington2.blogspot.com/2008/11/now-that-obama-has-won-there-is-no.html

Now that a Democrat has been elected president, the Democrats in Congress have no excuse. They can no longer pretend that they have to "hold back" to win the election.

They have no excuse to delay war crimes charges against Bush, Cheney and company for Iraq.

They have no excuse to delay war crimes charges for torture.

They have no excuse to delay criminal charges for spying on Americans.

They have no excuse to delay criminal charges for 9/11.

Now is not the time for Democratic machine politics. Now is the time to implement true American values - cherished across the political aisle - of liberty and justice.

There can be no liberty in America unless the tyrants who have tried to imprison us and enslave us are prosecuted.

There can be no justice in America unless the high and mighty are held accountable for their actions.

Obama's 9/11 - only in January 2009

By Rady Ananda

An OEN member posted an interesting article where the masses may have been given a head's up. An lively discussion ensured. This is my comment.

::::::::

See The Coming International Crisis: What Do They Know, When Did They Find It Out.

Interesting info; here's another OpEd along the same lines: Biden Blurts Awful Truth from the Black Agenda Report:

It's true that Sen. Joe Biden "isn't very bright and he can't stop talking." But Biden's uncontrollable mouth may have alerted us to the Obama-Biden administration's post-election surprise - something so scary, Obama is "gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him...." Whatever's on Biden's agitated little mind, it must be big, real big. "

If Big Mouth Joe is already pleading for patience from the faithful, we are looking at Bush/Cheney the Sequel."

Biden to Supporters: "Gird Your Loins", For the Next President "It's Like Cleaning Augean Stables"

October 20, 2008 7:35 AM

ABC News' Matthew Jaffe Reports: Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., on Sunday guaranteed that if elected, Sen. Barack Obama., D-Ill., will be tested by an international crisis within his first six months in power and he will need supporters to stand by him as he makes tough, and possibly unpopular, decisions.

911 Truthers Are Everywhere - People Rapidly Waking Up To 911 Truth!

On 10/11 We Are Change Los Angeles and other chapters and 911 truth groups did a march for 911 truth and a peace demonstration in protest at the offices of Google, Verizon and Rand corporations and of solidarity at the police and fire department headquarters in Santa Monica. There were 150 or so people from Los Angeles, San Diego, Inland Empire, Orange County and Long Beach.
But even before we got started we had a number of people walk up to us and express support and these were people who had done their homework. An entirely new flow than we have seen at previous demonstrations and very exciting to experience.
We even had one fellow from Trinidad who was taking a leisurely bus ride in Santa Monica with his son who saw us demonstrating and they got off the bus and asked what it was all about. He joined us and participated with us for an entire afternoon. At dinner afterwards he said it was the best day of his life!

Here is a chat with one of these individuals who had already woken up to the truth before we got to him...

We Are Change Seattle with Janeane Garofalo

We Are Change Seattle was able to catch up and chat with Janeane Garofalo. We were curious where she was at since her Conan O'Brien piece where she mentions 9/11 being an inside job. Also, her thoughts on the current bubble of Obama & McCain.

The "War on Terror" Fraud, and the Washington Post's "New Approach"

Hand-Off to Obama?

 

Crimes of the State

 

The Washington Post, today,1 has done a pretty good job of encapsulating the fraudulent "war on terrorism" without actually calling it a fraud. One would have to be in-the-know to understand the implications, but they are there if one is willing to study the article.

"There has been no confirmed trace of bin Laden since he narrowly escaped from the CIA and the U.S. military after the battle near Tora Bora, Afghanistan, in December 2001, according to U.S., Pakistani and European officials."

That's a pretty strong statement. No "trace?"

Anti-Obama Author on 9/11 Conspiracy
By SARAH WHEATON

Among the follow-up efforts to Jerome R. Corsi’s “Unfit for Command,” which inspired the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth attacks on Senator John Kerry in 2004, is “Obama Nation.” But the conservative commentator’s book about Senator Barack Obama appears to have distracted him for another project he was planning in January: exposing what he calls the government’s lies about the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center.

A YouTube video making the rounds, especially among Obama supporters, mocks Mr. Corsi for a Jan. 29 interview on Alex Jone’s radio show, a forum for those who take a deeply skeptical view of government claims about the attacks. (Mr. Corsi also frequently talks about the “North American Union” and other threats from globalization during his appearances).

Happy Birthday, America by John Kusumi (No vote w/o 9/11 Investigation)

Good points about boycotting in the article; excerpt about only supporting candidates that embrace and endorse 9/11 investigation:

The only way that Barack Obama can get my vote is if he (a.) rejects and denounces his association with Wesley Clark; (b.) embraces and endorses the impeachment of George W. Bush; and (c.) embraces and endorses a new investigation of the 9/11 attacks.

The only way that John McCain can get my vote is if he (a.) rejects and denounces trade deals which enlarge the U.S. trade deficit; (b.) embraces and endorses the impeachment of George W. Bush; and (c.) embraces and endorses a new investigation of the 9/11 attacks. Based on his trade policy, I might nickname him to be "Wrong Way McCain." That is based on his trade policy. So yes, I do have my differences with John McCain, but those are based on policy and not on denigrating his military service. His military service is one of the most honorable and heroic aspects of John McCain.
