Required reading: A revolt elite power is in the air ..

Any one who reads me knows - I don't believe in Barak Obama, I believe in The Constitution of the United States.

This has some good history however; forget the Barak Obama propaganda - he's the next Hitler!

They don't point out his connections to Zbig, AIPAC, or any of the other baggage. He has the same advisers as Constitution-busting HiLIARy Clinton.

Obama didn't grow up POOR; his mother worked for the depopulation biggies at Ford Foundation!

The LAWS OF WAR are more important that the presidendency of hahaha Constitutional scholar Barak Obama ..

NO MORE ASSASSINATIONS! We need three presidents, not another KING.

A REVOLT AGAINST ELITE POWER IS
IN THE AIR, AND THE ELITES ARE
BREATHING FIRE AGAINST IT

Joel Geier ISR Magazine

INTRODUCTION

Joel Geier writes that most of the time people are loath to rise up against an oppressive government. Instead, they find it much more expedient to adapt to existing conditions, even very bad ones. They feel powerless; they don't think they can change things. Add to that the fact that there are not many true revolutionaries in the world - and the few who actually exist are considered unrealistic utopians and are, as a result, marginalized - and it is easy to see why revolution (even a bloodless one; even one achieved through "constitutional" means) is a path seldom chosen by most people.

"The people" are warned away from the very few revolutionaries that exist. They are told that if they join themselves to these utopians and dreamers, they too will find themselves marginalized and "cut-off" from all that passes as "conventional" and "established" in this life. So give the idea of revolution up; forget it, relax, enjoy your life - or what there exists of it; that's the best you can hope for.

And then suddenly, unexpectedly, out of nowhere there is an "EXPLOSION FROM BELOW" in which millions of people begin to engage the "established order" on a "revolutionary" basis. They reach for revolutionary changes to the oppressive conditions they have been living under - AND IN DOING SO, THEY THREATEN TO DIVEST THE GOVERNING FINANCIAL AND POLITICAL ELITES OF THEIR POWER AND ILL-GOTTEN WEALTH, AND SWEEP THEM AWAY, just as "the people" did to the French and Russian elites in 1789 and 1917 respectively. And make no mistake about it - these two years - i.e., 1789 and 1917 - have been stamped indelibly into the mindset of the world's elites as nightmares more horrible and ghastly than hell itself.

1933 & 1968

Most people today think that the elites in the United States have never been threatened in such a fashion. But that's not quite true; for example, the elites in America were twice threatened with extinction in the 20^th century - once in the 1930s, and again in the '60s - and each time the elites reacted with a murderous rage. In the 1930s it was the New Deal of FDR that threatened to undo the American elites; and in the 1960s it was the Civil Rights Movement and the rage against the Vietnam War that threatened to do so.

In the first instance, the rage of "the people" was driven by an unprecedented economic crisis - the Great Depression; and in the second instance, their frenzy was driven by the twin conundrums of a war that wouldn't go away (and that was swallowing up in its bloody maw thousands and thousands of American soldiers as human sacrifices), and by the drive for civil rights by heretofore marginalized factions of the American population that threatened to undo the social and political "establishment" upon which the elites relied.

IN BOTH OF THESE INSTANCES, WHAT HAPPENED WENT FAR BEYOND THE USUAL FAKE STRUGGLE BETWEEN THE DEMOCRATIC AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTES.

THE FAKE STRUGGLE BETWEEN THE
REPUBLICANS & THE DEMOCRATS

The very real fact of the matter is, the well-known struggle between Democrats and Republicans is one that can be characterized by dramatic posturing and pulled punches. The ruse is instantly apparent to anyone with even a casual interest in US politics. It continues due only to the vast amount of voter ignorance and apathy. The apathy exists for good reason - politics are as exciting now as comparing the respective market strategies of Coke and Pepsi. There is nothing new being said, nothing creative being done - just endless reverberations in an echo chamber.

Democrats and Republicans pay attention solely to their differences, and the media outlets and general public willingly follow suit. The real issues that divide the two parties are minuscule, but this fact is covered over because both emphasize so-called "wedge" issue, and in doing so emphasize those things that divide them while obscuring their similarities - similarities that ensure the continuing dominance of the nation by the elites.

This tactic is highly effective. If you believe in wedge issue A, then you must be with the A-believers. But the A-believers also come with baggage loaded up by the elites that have nothing to do with wedge issue A. For example, What does abortion have to do with an unregulated market? What does global warming have to do with labor unions? But if you are going to support A, you must also support B, C, and D - all of which are issues that ensure the survival of elite power. Whether you vote for a Republican or a Democrat, you're voting for the same thing - the perpetuation of the elite's monopoly of the country's economic and political system. [Please see Forum: The Monopoly of the Republocrats, whose superb description of this fake struggle we have used here.]

BUT IN 1933 AND AGAIN IN 1968, THIS WAS NOT SO! REAL REVOLUTIONARY FORCES ROSE TO THE SURFACE, AND THE USUAL "PLAY" BETWEEN THE TWO PARTIES PROVED TO BE INEFFECTIVE IN OBSCURING THEM. IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY FELL "VICTIM" TO THESE REVOLUTIONARY DRIVES; AND IN DOING SO, THEY THREATENED TO END THE GAME THAT THE "OLD-LINE" OR "MODERATE" DEMOCRATS (THOSE DEMOCRATS WHO TODAY ARE MEMBERS OF THE DLC OR THE CLINTON FACTION OF THE PARTY) HAD BEEN PLAYING WITH THE REPUBLICANS. The elites survived "the people's" rage against them in these two instances,

BUT NOW A NEW "RAGE" HAS SURFACED AGAINST THE ELITES; A RAGE THAT MAY PROVE EVEN MORE POWERFUL THAN THE ONES THAT OCCURRED IN 1933 AND 1968. ONCE AGAIN, THIS RAGE HAS FOUND A HOME IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, AND IT HAS FOUND A CHAMPION IN BARRACK OBAMA.

THE QUESTION IS, WHAT ARE THE ELITES GOING TO DO TO STOP IT? ARE THEY GOING DO WHAT THEY ATTEMPTED TO DO AGAINST FDR (AND FAILED), AND WHAT THEY DID AGAINST MARTIN LUTHER KING AND ROBERT KENNEDY (AND SUCCEEDED)? That's the question!

PART 1:
1933 AND THE "NEW DEAL"

A MANDATE FOR CHANGE

In the winter of 1932-33, America was in the grip of the worst economic depression of the century. The economy had nearly ground to a halt and unemployment had reached a staggering one-quarter of the American population; bread lines and soup kitchens were everywhere, and hundreds and hundreds of shanty towns called "Hoovervilles" (named after Republican President Herbert Hoover) had sprung up, populated by those unfortunates who had been evicted from their homes.

A new President was about to take office: Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR). FDR had thrashed the elites' man, Herbert Hoover, in the November election of '32, and had been given an overwhelming mandate from the American people to reverse their fortunes - even if it meant sweeping the elites from power and installing what many members of America's elite class [e.g., the Morgans (banks and the financial sector), the Mellons (banks and the financial sector), the DuPonts (chemicals and technology), the Fords (automobiles and transportation), the Harrimans (railroads), the Sloans (General Motors), etc.] believed was a "socialist government."

Should Roosevelt succeed in his proposed measures - what he called a "New Deal" for average, working Americans - the elites' feared that their financial power would be permanently broken. [Please see our article, "The Religious Right and the Business Right: An Alliance Made in Hell;" please also see David Farber, Sloan Rules: Alfred P. Sloan and the Triumph of General Motors; please also see Facing the Corporate Roots of Fascism, March 2004, Published by the Coalition to Oppose the Arms Trade (http://coat.ncf.ca/our_magazine/links/53/sloan.html)]

AN EXPLOSION FROM BELOW

This was one of those "EXPLOSIONS FROM BELOW" that Geier talks about (see above); one that - unexpectedly and out of nowhere - engaged millions and millions of average Americans in a revolutionary rage against their "masters" in the elite; the kind of rage capable of producing another French or Russian Revolution in the American homeland; one that could very well sweep the elites permanently from power.

With their power thus threatened, the financial oligarchs were ready to take a radical course of action: ROOSEVELT HAD TO BE ELIMINATED! Thus was set in motion a series of murderous events that most Americans have never heard of - events that have over the years been carefully concealed from the American people by the elites and their toadies in the media who very much feared what the consequences would be for the survival of even the barest form of capitalism should the truth get out.

NOTE #1: Even Roosevelt - the target of the elites' rage - participated in the cover-up. Roosevelt and those who surrounded him feared that "the people" would be swept up in an uncontrollable fury if the facts concerning these events were ever fully revealed; and - as a consequence - they would demand a socialist government that even he (i.e., Roosevelt) could not manage. One must remember in this regard that at the height of the depression, socialism seemed like a very real alternative to capitalism insofar as countless numbers of Americans were concerned.

NOTE #2: It is very difficult for most Americans to fully comprehend the important role that political assassination has played in the history of our nation - and not just insofar as so-called "lone-assassins" are concerned, but assassinations involving very complex plots and many, many people. It seems that most Americans are prepared to see the importance that complex assassination plots play in the histories of "Third World" nations, and even the nations of Europe; but not America - as if Americans are somehow or other exempt from the strictures of Romans 3:23, "For ALL have sinned, and come short of the glory of God," strictures that would make them as vulnerable to the foibles of ordinary men as the Europeans and those in the so-called Third World are.

The fact is, however, political assassinations have played a routine role in the history of America's foreign relations, and have been used to great effect in the pursuit of American objectives abroad. An abbreviated list of those who have been targeted for assassination by the United States just since the end of World War II was compiled several years ago by William Blum, a very prominent figure in America's foreign policy "establishment." Some of the assassination attempts proved successful, others were not; but the fact that ALL these very prominent individuals were targeted for assassination makes one's blood run cold, AND GIVES ONE AN IDEA OF JUST HOW FAR THE ELITES WHO GOVERN THE UNITED STATES ARE PREPARED TO GO IN PURSUIT OF THEIR POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC OBJECTIVES:

Children in Irak; the DANGERS now

Al Jazeera English - News - Iraqis Resort To Selling Children

Iraqis resort to selling children

By Afif Sarhan in Baghdad

Unicef says an estimated two million children in Iraq continue to face
threats,
including poor nutrition, disease and interrupted education [GALLO/GETTY]

Abu Muhammad, a Baghdad resident, found it difficult to let go of his
daughter's hand but he had already convinced himself that selling her to
a family outside Iraq would provide her with a better future.

"The war disgraced my family. I lost relatives including my wife among
thousands of victims of sectarian violence and was forced to sell my
daughter to give my other children something to eat," he told Al Jazeera.

In 2006, Abu Muhammad and his family were forced to leave their home in
Adhamiya, a district of Baghdad, after militia fighting claimed the
streets in his once tranquil neighbourhood.

They began living in a makeshift refugee camp on the outskirts of
Baghdad, but he soon lost his job and the children, unable to make the
daily trek, quit school.

"There wasn't enough money to spend on books, clothes and transport," he
said. His daughter, Fatima, the youngest of four children, began to show
signs of malnourishment and a local medic said she had become anaemic.

*Desperation*

By mid-2007, conditions for his family had become desperate and his
children, once healthy and bubbling with life, had become gaunt and
lethargic.

It was then that a translator and a Swedish couple claiming to be part
of an international NGO arrived in the makeshift refugee camp.

"They heard about my situation and the woman, who said she could not
have babies, offered some money to give her my youngest daughter of two
years old," he said.

"I refused in the beginning but the Iraqi translator was constantly
coming at the camp and insisting with the same question. One day I found
that my children would die without food and a clean environment and the
next time he came to my tent, I told him that I agreed."

He gave the translator all personal documents and after a week the
couple came with new documents for Abu Muhammad to sign, authorising the
adoption and to pick up his daughter.

Abu Muhammad, who received $10,000, believes he is now damned by God,
but he says his inner turmoil is allayed somewhat by his belief that
Fatima will have a better life than many in Iraq.

"I could see her love in the first time she looked at her," he said of
the adoptive mother.

*Alarming disappearances*

Local officials and aid workers have expressed concern over the alarming
rate at which children are disappearing countrywide in Iraq's current
unstable environment.

to live in makeshift camps [EPA]

Omar Khalif, vice-president of the Iraqi Families Association (IFA), an
NGO established in 2004 to register cases of those missing and
trafficked, said that at least two children are sold by their parents
every week.

Another four are reported missing every week.

He said: "[The] numbers are alarming. There is an increase of 20 per
cent in the reported cases of missing children compared to last year."

"In previous years, children were reported missing on their way home
from schools or after playing with friends outside their homes. However,
police investigations have revealed that many have been sold by their
parents to foreign couples or specialised gangs."

According to police investigations and an independent IFA study, Iraqi
children are being sold to families in many European countries -
particularly the Netherlands and Sweden - Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.

"Taking advantage of the desperate situation of many families living
under poverty conditions in Iraq, foreigners offer a good amount of
money in exchange of children as young as one-month old and up to five
years of age," Khalif said.

He said there are fears children are being trafficked for the sex trade
and the organ transplant black market.

*Children drugged *

Hassan Alaa, a senior interior ministry official, said that while it has
been difficult to precisely trace where the missing children are taken,
government forces have captured 15 human trafficking gangs operating in
Iraq in the past nine months.

"Many were carrying false documents prepared to take some children out
from the country."

"During their confessions, they said many children are sold for as
little as $3,000 and for very young babies, the price could reach
$30,000," Alaa said.

The interior ministry has stepped up its security at checkpoints and
border posts throughout Iraq.

He says that the child traffickers resort to drugging children with
powerful sedatives during the trip out of Iraq. When they drive up to a
checkpoint, the police are told the children are merely sleeping.

"All children leaving Iraq now have to be woken up and interviewed by
the police and border patrols, except those who are infants and unable
to speak," Alaa said.

*Extreme poverty*

Mahmoud Saeed, a senior official at the ministry of labour and social
affairs, says extreme poverty and nationwide unemployment have pushed
parents to the edge, forcing them to make decisions once believed
unthinkable.
*December 2007 Unicef Report on
Iraqi Children*

Roger Wright, Unicef's special representative for Iraq, recently told
the media that "Iraqi children are paying far too high a price."

"While we have been providing as much assistance as possible, a new
window of opportunity is opening, which should enable us to reach the
most vulnerable with expanded, consistent support. We must act now."

Unicef says:

- An estimated two million children in Iraq continue to face threats
including poor nutrition, disease and interrupted education.

- Many of the 220,000 displaced children of primary school age had their
education interrupted.

- An estimated 760,000 children (17 per cent) did not go to primary
schools in 2006.

- An average 25,000 children per month were displaced by violence or
intimidation, with their families seeking shelter in other parts of Iraq.

- In 2007, approximately 75,000 children had resorted to living in camps
or temporary shelters.

- Hundreds of children lost their lives or were injured by violence and
many more had their main family wage-earner kidnapped or killed.

"Desperate seeing their families without food and hygiene, parents
prefer to give their children for adoption, to save their lives," he said.

Saeed said the ministry was making employment a national crisis issue in
2008, hoping to find immediate work for the poor.

He is hoping international aid agencies and NGOs will increase their
participation and investments in projects geared towards helping children.

But for many parents, help will inevitably come too late.

*Anguish*

Khalid Jabboury, 38, a father of seven and displaced on the outskirts of
Baghdad, says giving his daughter up for adoption to a Jordanian family
has given him nothing but torment.

He said: "After one year I heard from some relatives that they had seen
my seven-year-old daughter working as a servant for the supposed new
family and she was being beaten as well."

He says he was paid $20,000 but wants to give the money back if a local
NGO can assist in her repatriation.

The IFA's Khalif says there is nothing the NGOs can do once children
have been taken out of Iraq.

Ruwaida Saleh, 31, a mother of three, is also praying for her
eight-year-old daughter Hala's safety.

Saleh says her daughter disappeared in July 2007 and has not been heard
from since.

"The police told us to give up, but I cannot. I have nightmares she is
being raped," she said.

"I will hold God's hands and beg Him to have Hala in my arms again one
day. It is a pain without explanation that I will carry to my coffin if
I never find her."

Abu Ghraib revisted (sick making)

http://www.aztlan.net/abu_ghraib_revisited.htm

After that, the four soldiers raped me alternately the matter which made me lose my consciousness. When I regained the consciousness I found myself in the cell and the traces of their teeth, nails and cigarettes are in everywhere in my body.

Nadia stopped narrating her tragedy to wipe her tears, then she continued: After one day Mary came and told me that I was cooperative, and I will be released but after I watch the film that they have shot. I was in pain when I saw the film, and she (Mary) said: you have been created for the sole purpose for us to enjoy

If you are unlucky, you may get recruitment ads sent to you, like I have. They just love them Canucks in on the action in Iraq ...

I keep saying it, someday, these end runs around immunity from the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) are going to be exposed. Estimates are that as many as 150,000 "mercenaries" are in Iraq, as I type this. The all seem to be thugs ...
