Ron Paul: Bradley Manning Promotes Peace More Than Obama

Posted on by

“Army Pfc. Bradley Manning, who is [convicted] of providing an enormous stash of classified government documents to WikiLeaks for publication, deserves a Nobel Peace Prize more than President Barack Obama, according to former Texas Rep. Ron Paul. ‘While President Obama was starting and expanding unconstitutional wars overseas, Bradley Manning, whose actions have caused exactly zero deaths, was shining light on the truth behind these wars,’ the former Republican presidential contender told U.S. News. ‘It’s clear which individual has done more to promote peace.’ Manning was nominated for the award in 2011, 2012 and again earlier this year. Obama won the award in 2009.”

Obama moves towards sending military weapons to Somalia

Posted on by

[April 2013] “President Barack Obama took the first step Monday toward providing US military assistance to Somali forces battling Islamist militants, after the easing of a UN arms embargo last month. Obama signed a determination stating that having the legal capacity to offer defense equipment to Somalia was in the national interest of the United States and could promote peace and stability in East Africa. The move allows the US Secretary of State to consider the provision of arms to Somalia but does not signal a decision to provide specific assistance.  Since 2007, the United States has provided $133 million in security sector assistance to Somalia.”

General Wesley Clark: Wars Were Planned – Seven Countries In Five Years

General Wesley Clark: Wars Were Planned – Seven Countries In Five Years

“He reached over on his desk. He picked up a piece of paper. And he said, ‘I just got this down from upstairs’ — meaning the Secretary of Defense’s office — ‘today.’ And he said, ‘This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.’ I said, ‘Is it classified?’ He said, ‘Yes, sir.’ I said, ‘Well, don’t show it to me.’ And I saw him a year or so ago, and I said, ‘You remember that?’ He said, ‘Sir, I didn’t show you that memo! I didn’t show it to you!'”

Pakistan: Geopolitical conundrum

Posted on by

“Sixty-six percent of Pakistan’s 185 million people are under the age of 30 and almost all of them say they are worse off today than when they were 21. They also say they would rather have a ‘strong leader’ or one with a ‘strong hand’ than a democracy.  Now they have what they wish — Nawaz Sharif, 63, a former prime minister who was ousted in 1999 by army Chief of Staff Pervez Musharraf in Pakistan’s fourth military coup since independence in 1947.  Stripped of political verbiage, Pakistan’s first truly free national election moves Taliban guerrillas dangerously close to checkmating the United States and its NATO allies as they prepare to leave Afghanistan by the end of 2014.”

Our Moral Crisis

Posted on by

C4SSLogo22

“It seems official, the United States is a permanent wartime state. Senior Obama Administration officials have stated that the War on Terror, in its ‘limitless form,’ will carry on for another decade, possibly two. Given our role in the world, as an economic and military super-power, and given the economic, social and environmental crisis we see the world in, we must no longer deny that US foreign policy is a great agent of repression. We are a global threat to peace, security, liberty and the environment. Violence has become our foreign policy – it is the status quo. Perhaps what is most disturbing is the support the public lauds on politicians who support aggressive foreign policy.”

Run Snowden Run!

Posted on by

Run Snowden Run!

“NSA leaker Edward Snowden set the world on fire when he stood up to the powerful and secretive National Security Agency, exposing its illegal and unconstitutional spying to a global audience. Since that time, statists, neoconservatives, and supporters of the Obama administration have called for him to stand trial for treason. Meanwhile, civil liberties activists have hailed him as a whistleblower and a hero. Some have even suggested that the NSA should be disbanded, that its officials should be held accountable, and that Edward Snowden deserves a ticker tape parade. Today’s Enemies Domestic short tackles this national conversation head-on.”

ObamaCare’s architects reap windfall as Washington lobbyists

Posted on by

“ObamaCare has become big business for an elite network of Washington lobbyists and consultants who helped shape the law from the inside.  More than 30 former administration officials, lawmakers and congressional staffers who worked on the healthcare law have set up shop on K Street since 2010.  Major lobbying firms such as Fierce, Isakowitz & Blalock, The Glover Park Group, Alston & Bird, BGR Group and Akin Gump can all boast an Affordable Care Act insider on their lobbying roster.  Experts say that those able to fetch the highest salaries have come from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) or committees with oversight power over healthcare.”

Pakistan’s Musharraf charged over murder of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto

Posted on by

“Pakistan’s ex-military ruler Pervez Musharraf was indicted on three counts Tuesday over the 2007 murder of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto in a gun and suicide attack, a prosecutor said.  Charging a former army chief is an unprecedented move in a country ruled for more than half of its life by the military and where the army is still considered the most powerful institution.  It was the second time that Musharraf, who ruled the nuclear-armed state from 1999-2008, had been summoned to face charges of criminal conspiracy and the murder of Bhutto in December 2007.  Musharraf denies the charges and the case has been adjourned until August 27.”

Posted on by

“Palestinian security services have arrested an Islamist sympathiser in the West Bank for selling perfume named in honour of Egypt’s ousted president Mohamed Morsi, family members said on Thursday.  Islambuli Badir, a 36-year-old member of Islamist movement Hamas, was arrested during a raid on his perfume shop in the town of Tulkarem, his brother Abdel Fattah Badir told AFP.  ‘Men from the security services on Tuesday raided my brother’s shop and confiscated all the perfume bottles that were labelled ‘Morsi,’ then arrested Islambuli and also seized his laptop,’ said Abdel Fattah.”

What would the Rev Martin Luther King think of Obama’s presidency?

Posted on by

“John Lewis, now a Georgia congressman, is the only survivor of the March’s original organizers. [..] Lewis has also lived long enough to see that even a black president can be tone deaf to the spirit of King’s life. If King, an apostle of non-violence and advocate for the poorest of the poor, were alive today, what would he make of President Obama’s careless-with-life drone assassinations, his bullying of journalists and whistleblowers, his assent to slashing Social Security via his Scrooge-like ‘deficit commission’? Without irony, the current 50th birthday organizers have invited Obama to speak from the very same podium where King made history.”
