Another Gaza Massacre

View the results of Israhell's latest bloodbath in Gaza. This video lays to rest the zionist lies that Israhell is the victim.

Look at how Israhell takes revenge for the holocaust by massacring those who had nothing to do with it, and is in turn aided and abetted by the European countries that did.

Is this the so-called "Jewish morality" at work?

This massacre is NOT about "self-defense." It is about revenge and the ethnic cleansing of Arab Palestinians.

Israhell started this mess with their targeted assassinations in order to deliberately provoke Hamas. It has done this multiple times before. Whenever things get too quiet between Israhell and Hamas, the zionists suddenly provoke a fight.

The problem is not Hamas and their rockets. The problem is the Israhelli occupation which has been going on for 40+ years. The occupation is responsible for this violence. The occupation created Hamas; the occupation is responsible for the rocket fire and the bus bombs.

Make no mistake. This massacre was underwritten by the US. By protecting Israhell, the US is complicit in their crimes. 

Folks, this is what your vote on November 6, 2012 gets you! This is what Obama let happen.

"The Palestinians must be made to understand in the deepest recesses of their consciousness that they are a defeated people." 

--Moshe Yaalon, then the Israeli Defense Forces chief of staff, in 2002 commenting on an earlier massacre of Palestinians

Good Guys vs Bad Guys

Why does the US treat certain countries better than others?

Why are some dictators coddled and aided and abetted by the US and others assassinated, overthrown and then hanged?

I'm not going to waste my time explaining fully how criminally hypocritical US foreign policy is detail by detail. I'm not going to talk about in detail about what morally hopeless cretins the creatures who govern this hapless land of contradictions are. These are both givens, long known to those who are still awake and of at least average intelligence.

Always remember this: US interests start and finish with the dollar in mind. 

No matter what is said on TV by the president and his handlers, no matter what lofty principles and eloquent speeches are made by any politician, and regardless of all the self-righteous fluff and feel-good tripe stuffed into US history books, the number one US aim is the control of the wealth of the globe, by hook or crook or murder.

It basically comes down to one simple premise: whatever means have to be used to attain the wealth of the globe, will be used.

This explains the anomalies in US foreign policy which are very evident when examined closer.

Those who know this simple truth, can very easily discern a lot of things in the everyday events around the globe into which the US decides to stick their bloody fingers.

Whatever the US response, or lack thereof, to any event is no mistake. Whatever reaction follows from the US government is carefully calculated based on economic interests and how the event at hand fits into it. 

But this inadvertently also shows which countries in the world are still truly independent and sovereign and which ones are subservient to the US will.

It is confusing trying to reconcile US government rhetoric versus actions.  

The US may support some leader or movement if it feels that they serve its economic capitalist interests and ally itself against another if it is harmful to US interests.

Whether the person/group supported or opposed is a cold-blooded autocratic butcher or a paragon of virtue and freedom is irrelevant as long as "vital" US interests are concerned. The US supports the side which is more receptive to US interests. 

But one easy way to see which movement/leader/government is friendly to US interests is to simply look at the treatment the US has meted out to it.

99.9% of the time, any movement/leader/government which is unreceptive to US economic and strategic interests (although not a threat to the safety of the US and maybe even generally friendly) will be pilloried, demonized, slandered, sanctioned, accused of all sorts of crimes and threatened on an everyday basis by the US government and the compliant mainstream media propaganda machine.

Also, any leader out there today that is tolerated by the US is subservient to it to some degree, even if they seem to be defiant towards the US on the outside. A few such examples are Egyptian President Morsi and Afghan President Karzai. If they were truly independent, they would get the same treatment as Iran, N. Korea, Syria, Cuba and others who refuse to bend their knee for the evil US empire.

The US does not have friends. To be friends with someone, you first have to acknowledge that this person is an equal. It means treating them with respect and fairness. A true friend helps without demanding anything in return.

By this criteria, the US has zero friends. It only has interests.

The US does not want anyone else to be its equal. Those who try to be so in any way are demonized and slandered and insulted (Russia and China). The US only wants to talk...no, dictate, to people from a position of superiority, not equality. This goes for ally and foe. The US also does not respect other nations. It only treats them nice as long as they give in to every US wish and whim. And the US NEVER helps anyone without demanding something in return; many times wanting back more than it ever gave (Marshall Plan is a good example).

The contradictory US behavior is a result of seeking wealth.

That's why the US condemns Syria for cracking down on protesters and stays quiet when Bahrain calls in S. Arabian troops to put down by force its own people.

That's why it fomented a rebellion in Libya under the cover of “humanitarian aid” to the rebels but stayed quiet for two weeks while Mubarak's regime in Egypt beat protesters mercilessly and ran them over with cars.

That's why it pretends not to notice the savagery in S. Arabia and lack of any semblance of democracy in places like Kuwait but breaks out in a sweat whenever a protester is slapped in Tehran or Moscow.

That's why it interferes in other nations elections and manipulates public opinion in favor of the pro-US candidate, but screams “fraud!” when a candidate/party in another country who is not friendly to US interests wins.

The US will swiftly condemn and promptly act against any act of violence, electoral fraud, genocide, invasion, human rights abuses, corruption, governmental ineptness and other crimes when those who commit these acts are not willing to be loyal subjects of the US government and who do not accept the US neo-liberal capitalist model which seeks to exploit their countries resources and people for cheap.

But the US will swiftly excuse, protect or at the very least ignore any of these above mentioned crimes when the people committing them are 100% friendly to US economic, strategic and military interests.

US actions, whatever they are and whoever or whatever they apply to, always did, currently do, and always will revolve around the dollar, for better or worse.

All the rest is propaganda and lies.

Post-Election Reflections

The election of 2012 is over and the world is stuck with Obummer’s mug for the  next four years.

After all the partisan nonsense, lies, obfuscations and massive amounts of money pumped into the US presidential campaigns, it is time to reflect on some key things, especially on things that have not been said and are being ignored by the political parties and the mainstream media.

First let’s deal with the actual number of voters. The US likes to present itself as a beacon of democracy and its electoral system as a shining example of freedom and self-determination. But when one takes a closer look at the data, it is not hard to see the contradictions and problems with these lofty views.

Let’s do some math:

There are roughly 237,657,645 voting-age adults in the United States.¹

Obama got 62,280,959 of the popular vote, or 50.6%.²

Romney got 58,899,127 of the popular vote, or 47.8%.²

The total number of people that actually voted in 2012 according to these results was 121,180,086.

Now let’s subtract 121,180,086 from 237,657,645 and we get 116,477,559. This is the amount of people who did not vote.

121,180,086 is only 50.98% of all voting-age adults!

Roughly half of the people in the US did not vote. This is an embarrassment for a country claiming to be the beacon of democracy and freedom.

Now let’s calculate how much support Obama really has in the US by comparing the percentage of the total voting-age public (237,657,645) to all of his popular votes (62,280,959)

The result is 26.2%

That’s right. We have a president that is only supported by a quarter of the US populace. This is truly disgraceful.

To be fair, this has been the case for elected US presidents going back decades. No wonder that the country is in such a pathetic state. These presidents only have to get 20% support from their base, plus five or so percent of fools naïve enough to vote for them to make a difference in the numbers.

As an aside, counting the TOTAL number of voting-age people in the US is the most accurate and fairest way to determine the true support for any candidate, since that candidate will make decisions for EVERYONE. Counting just the people who actually voted or even the number of people registered to vote gives an inaccurate and hyped up number.

Right after the election, I wondered how many people actually voted. Every time I heard any post-election analysis on the radio and TV, most of it was a bunch of self-serving self-congratulatory PR fluff. But there was no mention of the total number of people who voted.

Then lo and behold, on Thursday morning,, November 8, I was driving to work and heard an anchor on NPR state that the voter turnout in this election was lower than in 2008. But they conveniently left out any numbers, for the obvious reason that it would be an embarrassment to actually mention them. No other news outlet even mentioned the lower turnout at all.

The God Thing

The US also has a very annoying and bad habit of bringing religion and God into the election-year mix.
It seems that each candidate has to prostate themselves before the religious nuts out there and prove beyond a doubt that they are god-fearing and that religion is important to them. If they do not, then they place their chances of winning in jeopardy.
There is just one problem with this religious litmus test: It is illegal according to the constitution.

Article VI, Paragraph 3, of the US Constitution states:

“...no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

So the next time any candidate for political office is pressured to talk about god and his religion, Article VI needs to be invoked by them, and the topic of religion can be dropped because it is both unnecessary and unconstitutional.

As long as we are at it, let's dispel the whole Pledge of Allegiance which students in US schools are forced to recite everyday.

The oath, written by Francis J. Bellamy,originally read as follows:

"I pledge allegiance to my Flag and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all"

No mention of God anywhere. But judging by Francis Bellamy's background,we can see why.

Bellamy was a Christian Socialist, who “championed 'the rights of working people and the equal distribution of economic resources, which he believed was inherent in the teachings of Jesus.'' In 1891, Bellamy was forced from his Boston pulpit for his socialist sermons, and eventually stopped attending church altogether after moving to Florida, reportedly because of the racism he witnessed there.³

The words “under God” were added in 1954 by President Eisenhower as part of his election campaign and in order to fend off communism. It unfortunately stuck, but the constitutionality of this addition is still in question.

Nevertheless the ignorant religious fundamentalists still mistakenly think that the words God and Christianity are part of the constitution and never cease to pressure candidates with questions concerning their religious beliefs.

This practice needs to stop, as it smears a person who does not show the correct level of fealty to some particular god, and it distracts people from focusing on the candidate's competency and qualifications for public office, which is a secular institution.

What Change?

The saddest part of this election is that neither Obama nor Romney deserved to win. They are both cretins who are supported by a minority of voters. They are bad choices and everyone who voted for them has done themselves, the country, and the world a great disservice.

Nothing will change with Obama still in charge. He will keep on bombing countries, lying, breaking promise after promise while taking good care of Wall St. and the wealthy and screwing the middle class and the poor.

It looks like the country got "Pocket Change" in the first Obama presidency and now he will just move forward over the corpses of the people whose lives he either extinguished or ruined between 2009-2012.

Back during the Bush years, I abhorred the people who were stupid enough to vote for Bush twice. I asked myself how can a people still support such a liar and a murderer? I used to date a girl that considered herself republican and when I told her about the rotten things that Bush has done, her response was that she does not want to think about all that.

Recently, I read an article about an activist confronting an Obama supporter during the 2012 election about Obama's drone killings and the Obama supporter replied that they "don't think about that."

It seems that ignorance and delusion is not limited to the republican side. It is alive and well with democrats also.

And these same democrats who “don't think about” Obummer's killing sprees were very vocal in opposing every single act of violence that GW Bush ordered during his presidency.

Black America is Asleep

The majority of blacks in the US voted for Obama. Traditionally, blacks are concerned about political, social and economic justice.

So why they voted overwhelmingly for Obama a 2nd time is a mystery.

This is a man that left them out to dry after 2008, bombed countries with drones, totally ignored the massacres of blacks in post-regime-change Libya, and sold out his supporters to the Wall St. hyenas.

What is it with black people? Are they truly concerned about justice for everyone, or does the fight for it apply only to their own communities and interests?

What does black America, and especially its leadership, have to say about this? How the hell can blacks in the US expect justice when they ignore the great injustices and war crimes which Obama has committed during the last four years all over the world? What about justice for Afghans, Pakistanis, Iraqis, Palestinians, Libyans, Syrians, Iranians, Africans, and the American citizens whom their idol Obama had killed/assassinated without trial?

Where is the justice in this?

By excusing or ignoring these criminal acts committed by Obama, blacks in America are helping to sow more injustice for the future, for themselves as well as foreigners. Blaming Bush can no longer serve as an excuse, for Obummer has willingly continued the Bush-era atrocities and has even gone beyond them.

In the US, hypocrisy truly knows no bounds.

Corporate Selection of 2012

 

The disgusting farcical spectacle known as the US election of 2012 will soon come to pass.

During the last few months, the two corporate-approved candidates, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, have been falling all over each other in trying to demonize, slander, and out-cheap shot each other. Their rhetoric has been heavy on hyperbole, drama and wedge issues but light on substance and any details.

But this is the way the wealthy power-elites want it to be. They want election time to be take up by useless chatter, marketing gloss and hype, emotional diatribes, manipulation and petty distractions. This is so that people will not think about the real issues and ask any hard questions which have not been answered for a very long time.

The American electorate easily fall for this choreographed nonsense due to their general lack of information and very often wilful ignorance. They are like kids, ready to swallow whatever choice is made for them by the corporatocracy.

Just observe the way these two political parties, I'll call them Republi-crats from now on, treat the electorate as little kids. This was on full display during the run up to the Democratic National Convention in September of 2012. Michelle Obama, while on location at the Charlotte, NC convention center was giving an opening speech and used cheap and childish remarks to fire up the crowd; remarks reminiscent of some elementary school pep rally.

One recent event that illustrates this treatment is when a mock election was held at my daughter's elementary school. The choices were between just Obama and Romney. My daughter ended up voting for Romney. When I asked her why, her reply was that she saw him ride a horse, and she likes horses.

This is a very childish reason to vote for any candidate, but sadly this is how most of the US electorate seems to think. Their voting decisions are based on equally childish reasons.They see a picture or hear a sound byte that appeals to them and they immediately vote for the person associated with it. It is psychological manipulation and these campaigns know how to ride it to full effect. Very few voters make an informed choice after doing some research.

That's how this election has been. Lie after lie, obfuscation, hypocrisy, manipulation over and over again. Add to that the influx of private and corporate money into every race, thanks to the citizens United decision, and now we have a putrid and effluvial soup of the most foulest and corrupt junk politics and shameless corruption.

Each political party blames the other for the economic problems plaguing the US, but both of them have been complicit in their making. Take for instance the abomination called NAFTA (North Atlantic free Trade Agreement). It was passed in 1994 during the Clinton administration. It was the first of many corporate give-aways of job off shoring to Mexico and elsewhere which started the decimation of US industry, the middle class and the destitution of US economic life.

Surprisingly, at the time NAFTA was passed, the majority of the Democrats were against it (mainly because it eroded union power, which the Democrats relied on for votes and election funding), most Republicans were for it, and Bill Clinton himself was for it as well. He went against his own party by doing so. NAFTA passed and the Democratic party officially crossed into the corporatocracy's clutches for good.

If one political party was good and the other was bad, then the US would be in better shape than it is today. It took both the Democrats and Republicans to screw things up this bad. Blaming each other for their joint mistakes is a PR cop-out for the dumbed-down masses.

The influx of money cannot be overlooked, as it is the source of most of the problems in the corrupt US electoral system. Lobbying is an illegal and corrupt practice.

Its proponents and defenders argue that they are just interested in access, and having their voices heard. If those were the only aims, then these CEO s and their fellow-travelers can send an email or a letter to their congressman and the President like everyone else.

But of course, lobbying is not about having one's voice heard. It is about buying influence and influencing legislation. It is bribery pure and simple.

The US seems to have a knack for making the illegal and wrong, legal and permissible. In doing so, immoral, illegal and unethical behavior is allowed to fester and thrive without impunity, The patriot Act is one of the most flagrant examples of this demented theory at work.

US politicians whine about Russian President Vladimir Putin being elected as president for the 3rd time and all sorts of accusations of corruption that he supposedly engaged in to “rig and steal” the votes for himself.

But when two parties set themselves up as the masters of the US and prevent any other party and challenger from running against them and taking power, what is the world supposed to think about this!

In this respect, the US is only different from China by the amount of official political parties; China has one and the US has two.

But in reality, as far as the core principles of foreign policy bent on the economic, political, military and strategic domination of the world for US corporate and banking interests is concerned, both the Democrats and Republicans are in full agreement. 

The differences between them are only procedural. They both seek the same aims, albeit in different ways. Winning an election just puts one party and their cronies as the beneficiaries of government largess, and it is this largess which they want access to. That's what the fighting, bickering and mud-slinging is all about. All the rest is just pious PR rhetoric devoid of substance, and offering nothing new.

When it comes to these presidential candidates and US politicians, there is never any in-depth attempt at self-analysis and introspection by any of them. They never admit mistakes, they never doubt themselves and their decisions even after they prove to be disastrous. They do what they want for power and wealth, consequences be damned, and think they are right 100%. If the bad fallout from their decisions turns out to be too much to hide or gloss over, they simply find a scapegoat like Al Qaeda, terrorism, Iran, Russia, China, etc.

This deluded and arrogant way of thinking was on full display during the presidential debates between Obama and Romney. Both candidates have showed themselves to be avowed militarists and expansionists, and unwavering capitalists. They openly discussed the overthrow of foreign leaders in other nations (Syria) and talked casually of starting another war (against Iran).

The entire debate process is corrupt to the core. It is controlled by a private corporation headed by a democrat and a republican. It vets and pre-selects all questions that can be asked, sets rules on what questions and topics are off-limits, prevents 3rd parties from attending debates and people who submit questions for the town-hall debates are screened to make sure they ask “approved” questions. There are no follow-up questions allowed and microphones are immediately cut off after a question is asked. Even the moderator cannot ask follow-up questions.

How sad it is that in the country which touts itself as the greatest democracy that has ever existed, the electoral system is so corrupt, co-opted and censored. How sad it is that in this so-called great democracy people are only given two choices to vote for. This is embarrassing and pathetic. Americans should be ashamed of themselves for going along with this dog and pony show.

The media are also part of the problem. They act as the enablers of this rotten and corrupt electoral system and only give face time and coverage to the Democrat and Republican candidates. 3rd party candidates are not interviewed and ignored. This is evidence of the pro-corporate electoral system hard at work.

Add to this the questionable results from these malfunctioning and rigged electronic voting machines which leave no paper trail, and the final nail in the coffin of US electoral fraud is firmly in place.

Taking into account the farcical debates, the pre-approved topics, the faulty voting machines, the anomaly know as the electoral college, the deliberate mainstream media blackout of 3rd party candidates which challenge the Republicrat monopoly of US political life, and yes, add to this the election fraud fiasco of 2000, the US has absolutely no right whatsoever to criticize any other country's political and electoral systems and the fairness thereof. Doing so while having a corrupt electoral system of it own makes the US a supreme hypocrite and liar and a laughing stock of the world.

The US electorate are being deliberately manipulated and herded into a republican or democratic box by the party and corporate/bankster operatives and their PR marketing machines. Both of the candidates are pre-selected and marked as business and empire friendly. This is why they are being allowed to run at all.

On November 6th, these pre-selected corporate candidates will be presented to the people who naively will shoot themselves in the foot by voting for them. The entire US election cycle has become so money-ridden that it is more like a corporate auction. The whole damn election season has become a huge marketing campaign and the two Republi-crat candidates are the products.

The Democratic and Republican stranglehold on the US election and political system must be broken if there is ever going to be any semblance of normality restored in this country. People must educate themselves about other candidates and do research before casting their votes, instead of being spoon fed corporate pre-approved shills which only perpetuate the mess we are in.

One thing is certain about this election: Things will only get worse regardless of whether Obama or Romney win. The losers will be the American people. The true winners will be the corporate and banking elites.

So vote your lives away for either one of these cheap and glitzy overmarketed products who promise you grand things and grand visions, but the buyer's remorse will set in after the election year consumers realize that the product they purchase says in little letters: BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED and ALL SALES FINAL.
