Obama's Plan For America: Dismantle, Disrupt and Destroy

Posted by Jamaal Long on Tuesday, June 30, 2009 4:19:15 PM

By Jamaal Long

What great irony, when you think about it, that when Peggy Joseph attended Barack Obama’s rally and proclaimed she wouldn’t have to worry about gas or mortgages anymore—she was right.

No American will have to worry about anything anymore because no American will have anything anymore once the heavy hand of the State starts to come down on them.

Obama and the Demoncrats disastrous rein of despotism will soon make sure that those with nothing to lose have something to lose.

Of course, if you’re a greedy bank, Obama has got you covered.

The Pied-piper-of-poverty, Obama, had his supporters seeing stars as they merrily went to voting booths to get him elected.  But when it came time “to stand up to the special interests, and stand up for the American people,” he danced to a different tune.

On May 20th Obama signed the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act. A benign title but it was missing one main ingredient. The changed in the bankruptcy law that he promised.  According to the New York Times, one of the opponents against the change was Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, bankster extraordinaire, who once headed the New York Federal Reserve bank and made off with at least $2 trillion in taxpayer money. 

Geithner preferred that distressed homeowners participated in the Treasury’s new $75 billion loan modification program. Leave it to Geithner and the Obama Syndicate to suggest some half-baked plan that doesn’t help the people they promised to help.

Recently Jack Rasmus professor of economics at St. Mary's College explained how the loan modification really worked.

Mortgage lenders would be giving a peace of the $75 billion to lower interest rates between 4%-4.5%, but not if your delinquent. The plan also called for lenders to lower mortgage payments to 31% of the homeowner gross income, but only for five years, and the plan is dependent on the lenders agreement. 

Eileen Ulery, one of those homeowners in need of help, told the New York Times that Countrywide flat out refused to help her.

With no sure sign of relief from Obama in the housing market, can Americans continuing working at least to reclaim what they are about lose or have already lost?

Fortunately, relief is coming to states, finally, especially seeing how some have unemployment numbers hitting double-digits. Obama will now attempt to create 12 million jobs in America—for illegal aliens.

The man in the vanguard of the ultimate race to the bottom is none other than Repugnacan Sen. John McCain, a true American patriot fighting for the rights of people from another country to obtain what people in this country are struggling to hold on to. 

McCain said that because of the violence along the Mexican border immigration overhaul needed a “fresh urgency.” He also said that, guest worker program must be part of any immigration bill.

For those unfamiliar with etiquette, a “guest” gets a warm smile and a glass of tea not the keys to the house or the opportunity to lay claim on anything in your house.

But immigration overhaul isn’t about allowing some poor immigrant to have the privilege of being a overnight stocker at Wal-Mart were they’ll be paid slave wages. It’s about the taxpayer.

That’s why Senate Democrats want the immigration laws to require all US workers to verify their identify through fingerprints or an eye scan.

Americans that pay taxes, social security and have birth certificates have be subjected to being treated like illegal aliens in their own country.

"I'm sure the civil libertarians will object to some kind of biometric card,” Sen. Charles Schumer said,  “. . . but we're going to have to do it. It's the only way."

For those that think that America is a democracy—wrong country—this isn’t Switzerland where they have a Direct Democracy. America is Constitutional Republic, so it doesn’t matter how bad Americans bellyache and complain about it, universal healthcare is unconstitutional.

This country never could afford to provide for everyone that is why the framers of the Constitution never tried. This is not a rich nation; it is an indebted one that has never paid a bill on time in almost 200 years. During that time Andrew Jackson was president.

There shouldn’t be laws passed because a group of left-of-Lenin ignorant members of this society fell asleep in history class and woke up chanting,  "One for all, and all for one." 

Besides, Obama’s healthcare plan isn’t universal. According to the Tax Policy Center, 33 million Americans would still lack insurance in 2018 under his plan. Once the interest is tagged on, it will cost over $3 trillion on top of all the other expenses this country can’t pay back.

Obama’s colossal government is so expensive that already failed social programs that people are dependent on will be gutted.

For starters, Obama will slash Medicare by as much as $300 billion and cut payments to hospitals that can’t cut payments on its own. So get ready for healthcare rationing and people being denied lifesaving treatment because the State decides that it isn’t cost effective.

To further the authoritarian role in people’s personal life, CBS news, if you can call it news, are cheerleading for Obama to call for nutrition counseling obesity screenings and wellness programs at workplaces and community centers.

CBS even promoted the idea of getting Congress to legislate a sugary drink tax and tax on alcohol to pay for this insanity. CBS went on to add that Obama's prescription is like a low-fat dream come true.

And that is state of America. A nation so lethargic and dumb-down that a feeble-minded, ne’er-do-well president who can’t muster up an independent thought without Jon Favreau, Obama’s speechwriter, spooning feeding him through the teleprompter.

The people of this country are too busy texting and twittering away about some twice accused child molester and reported junkie that they don’t know fact one about what the president is up to.

But then again, if a person voted for Obama hoping to have nothing to worry about anymore, then they probably don't do much thinking about anything anymore anyway.

The UN Undermines Peace For Palestinians

Deciphering The Media’s Disinfo On The Middle East
By Jamaal Long

It is unforgivable. It is unconscionable. But, because it is the United Nations—it wasn’t unforeseeable.

So, it was not surprising that after a UN investigation into the attacks on Gaza, which started on Dec. 27, 2008, and ended Jan. 18, will yield no prosecutions of war crimes.    

BBC news reported that Israeli military says that their internal investigation showed that a few errors occurred, but they acted lawfully.

These errors included shooting an elderly woman who came within a 100 yards of a commandeered house.

“What’s great about Gaza?” an Israeli squad commander said when asked by the New York Times, “You see a person on a path, he doesn’t have to be armed, you can simply shoot him. In our case it was an old woman . . . the order was to take down the person, this woman, the minute you see her.”

Three teenage brothers of the al-Attar family told The Guardian, a British newspaper, that they were used as human shields to clear buildings. They were made to go into areas before the Israeli soldiers did in order for the bullets to hit the young boys first.

Nothing was off limits for the soldiers attacking Gaza.

And the Israeli weaponry was gruesome. 16 Medics and ambulance drivers were killed as they tried to attend to the wounded. One of the tanks that was used against the paramedics had a shell filled with 8,000 metal darts.

BBC News reported that there was "indisputable evidence of the widespread use of white phosphorus." And according to the Guardian, the use of white phosphorus was indiscriminate over a civilian population which is a violation of international law.

The effects from White phosphorus are devastating.  The Guardian stated that White phosphorus burns on contact with oxygen and causes deep burns when it touches human skin, sometimes reaching to the bone.

Yet, in spite of evidence that war crimes were committed, the UN will do nothing. And the world looks away. There will be no shirts across college campuses in America adorning a “free Gaza” message like the other heavily promoted, celebrity driving campaigns.

Gaza isn’t that popular.

In America, the people get their cue from their misleaders on whom to feel sympathy for. When politicians and journalist take aim at the subject of Gaza or Muslims, they are completely off target.
 
Quite often in political speeches and editorials when the Muslim-Israel conflict is discussed Muslims are depicted as anti-Semitic. It is a fallacious statement considering Arabic is a Semitic language; therefore, Muslims cannot be anti-Semitic. That is equivalent to an American saying they hate England then being accused of being anti-English.

One of the most outrageous statements, which was recently said in Obama’s Cairo and AIPAC speech, was Palestine doesn’t  recognize Israel’s right to exist. This is misleading on two fronts. First: Palestine is made up of predominantly Sunni Muslims that follow Islam which teaches that Jews are the “people of the book.” Second: What goes largely unreported in the media is that the State of Israel is a young country. It is even younger than the United States. Israel didn’t come into existence until May 14, 1948.

Palestinians on the other hand, are the descendants of the Canaanites. The historic region of Palestine covered over 10,000 square miles. The word Palestine came from the Greek word “Philistia” to recognize the land of the Philistines who occupied modern day Tel Aviv-Yafo and Gaza during 12th century BC.

Around 2nd century BC, Palestine came under Roman Rule when Pompey the Great conquered the land for the Roman Empire. During this time Judea was named Syria Palaestinia.

At the conclusion of the Byzantine-Ottoman wars, Ottoman came out the victor and ruled over the Palestinians until the summer of 1918 when Palestine came under the rule of the British Empire.

To Britain, it was crucial to maintain an alliance with the Ottoman Empire because peace with them ensured their trade routes from India across the Ottoman land. But when the Ottoman Empire started collapsing during the World War I, the Ottomans sided with the Germans. The British countered by promising the indigenous Arabs independence if they aligned themselves with British against the Ottomans.

As early as 1915, the British had entered into three separate agreements that would ultimately decide the fate of Palestine. One of the agreements was with the French; one was with the Sharif Hussein leader of the Arab Revolt, and the other was with Lord Rothschild leader of the Zionist movement in Britain.

The Zionist, believing they had more sway, began urging United States Congress to recognized the British mandate over Palestine, which ensured the Zionist right to the land.

After being pressured into a response, the British released a “white paper” that became the official explanation of the Balfour Declaration. The Balfour Declaration was named after Lord Balfour British foreign secretary to Lord Rothschild.  

The white paper proclaimed that the Jewish people and the Palestinians had a claim to Palestine and the Jewish people did not need permission to occupy the land in that region. But that was not enough for the Zionist who wanted more.

In 1942, at the Bitlmore Hotel a conference was held that pushed the Zionist agenda onto the international scene. Their plan now was for establishing a Jewish homeland.

Less than two years later, United States Congress passed a joint resolution backing the Bitlmore program. In November 1947, the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 181 which resembled the Zionist plan crafted at the Biltmore Hotel conference.

A year later on May 14, Al-Nakbah, Palestine’s catastrophic destruction was complete. Palestinians become the “other section of the population.” Palestinians became the new Native Americans and Gaza became their trail of tears. They became the new African slave on a 360-square-mile plantation. They became the new—Jew—at the mercy of their occupiers.

Palestinians—people in modern day society where no attention is paid, no truth of their struggle spoken—and still—no justice rendered.

The Fourth Estate Gives Left Cover For The Fourth Reich

Will The Real Representatives of the Republic Please Stand Up?
By Jamaal Long

What would it have been like had the Democrats been in power on 9/11?

Judging from recent events, the War on Terror would be going exactly the same.

These dirty dealing Democrats, while out outspoken about Bush’s lack of respect for the constitution, apparently have been aware of CIA torture all along.

Let’s take of list of inventory on what America can expect will be the same: Continued occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan, continuous attacks on Pakistan, ballooning debt; and people like Keith “Mouth-open-too-often” criticizing anyone who speaks bad about the president just like Fox News did for Bush.

The Hypocrats should be pleased with themselves; they are wearing that jackboot firmly on the left.

Despite Bill Maher’s opinion that Barack Obama is “perfect” and not a “phony” let me draw attention to some of the controversies surrounding the torture memos.

First off, the release of the memos by Obama was not an act of good faith seeing how he considered editing large portions of the memos.

Most importantly, this lawless lawyer knows that United States is bound by the UN convention against torture, which was ratified in our Constitution, and by law is required to conduct a criminal investigation and prosecute those that are found to be engaging in this illicit act. But, Obama has declared he would not seek legal actions against those who committed an illegally act.  

In fact, the Obama Syndicate has granted legal immunity for the Criminally Influenced Activities officials (CIA officials) who, in the opinion of US Attorney General Eric Holder, were only following orders.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Holder said, the CIA officers “relied in good faith on authoritative legal advice from the Justice Department that their conduct was lawful.” The Justice Department even offered to pay legal fees for these hoods if they are sued or face legal proceedings overseas.
When Obama visited the CIA in their headquarters in Langley, VA, he assured them that they “got my full support.”

In his little pep talk he wanted the crooked spooks he know that they are fighting against  “people who have no scruples”[Emphasis added]. And if you believe this Orwellian comment, Obama said the CIA officers are “upholding American values and ideals.”

Obama, in yet another about-face, moved to block court order release of photos were US troops are abusing captured suspects.

The president said, "I want to emphasize that these photos that were requested in this case are not particularly sensational, especially when compared to the painful images that we remember from Abu Ghraib."

Really? Then release the photos.

It is amazing how he can show his face in public after stating at WhiteHouse.gov that:

My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government.  We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency . . . Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government.

The hallmark of the doubling speaking Democrats is that they are suppose to stick up for the “little guy.”

And, yet, reports are coming out like the one from the United Kingdoms’ The Daily Telegraph that there is picture showing an American soldier raping a female prisoner, one showing a male translator raping a male detainee.  And the most horrific story of mothers in these prisons passing out letters begging to be killed because of the terror of hearing their sons screaming out from being sodomized while cameras roll.

What pictures will the mentally unsound mainstream media release?

Obama walking his dog.

Just whom is Obama protecting?

Could it be the new U.S. and NATO commander Lt. Gen. Stanley McChrystal who headed up the US Joint Special Operations forces in Iraq. Gen. McChrystal was facing serious allegations of torture at a Camp Nama near Baghdad where McChrystal frequented.

McChrystal is a guy that ran Black Ops and as Prof. James Petras reported for Centre for Global Research, McChrystal’s job description entails “establishing death squads, recruiting and training paramilitary forces to terrorize communities, neighborhoods and social movements opposing US client regimes.”

Releasing the photos would blow the lid on Obama’s change agenda and the world know how McChrystal is taking care of the occupation in Afghanistan, which annual cost is projected to exceed the cost of Iraq.

It is a pointless argument to make to Obama supporters that Obama is the same as his tenth cousin Bush. The onus is on them to show evidence to the contrary. 

But, in this country American’s sense for holding their elected officials accountable for campaign promises is dwarfed by more important question like: “What’s the score?” And, “who do you think got Tila Tequila pregnant?”

What would it have been like had the Democrats been in power on 9/11?

In 2008, a charismatic republican promising change would have been elected and it would have been those that voted for him or her who would have been the real jackasses.
