OBAMA'S SILENCE ON GAZA  ATROCITIES  IS DEAFENING. President Elect Obama's silence on the ongoing criminal atrocities of Gazans by Israel is a deafening affirmation of the Bush policy of preemptive criminal attack and force to achieve limited political capital. As such, Israel's obvious moral decay is a reflection of our own. Obama must be an honest broker and peacemaker in the middle east or risk further deterioration : Allen L Roland

The government, at all levels, is running a very simple financial con game. If something produces revenue - like bridges, highways, ports, or successful investments etc - that revenue goes into off budget slush funds. The real accounting is contained in what's called Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFR) which are not only not made available to the public, their very existence is never mentioned by the news media.

Governments, if they endure, always tend increasingly toward aristocratic forms. No government in history has been known to evade this pattern. And as the aristocracy develops, government tends more and more to act exclusively in the interests of the ruling class -- whether that class be hereditary royalty, oligarchs of financial empires, or entrenched bureaucracy.

WORLD SILENT AS GAZA SUFFERS COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT BY ISRAEL The world is a ignoring a humanitarian catastrophe that Israel has created in Gaza by practicing cruel and illegal collective punishment upon an estimated 1.5 million people living there ~ half of whom are children.   There is ' something not right ' going on in Gaza and the world can no longer ignore it : Allen L Roland

Perverse Justice The Bush administration's "war on terror" paraded a feather in its tattered cap with the Holy Land Foundation convictions delivered last week. Most observers accurately characterised this legal charade as a witch hunt, using Muslims and Arabs, specifically Palestinians, as its targets. In doing so the administration shamelessly abuses to advance its failed security measures and pro-Israel policy initiatives that systematically punishes Palestinians living in Gaza and the West Bank

Secretary of Bloodsports New Mexico governor Bill Richardson will probably do fine as Secretary of Commerce. Unless he has to deal with animals.

The Israeli Blockade. Electricity shut off to Gaza and the sewer plants are closed/can't work. Raw sewage is flowing into the streets, fields, roads, homes and creating a real health hazard.Why, do they even pretend to teach people about "the Holocaust" and how this should never happen again, when the Israelis are practicing the very same techniques on the Palestinians that were used on them? It seems that they learned how to torture, kill and maim and destroy a culture from the masters and now it is their turn to create their own "holocaust". Where is the outrage in the world, the USA? Why is it that 'everyone' is not screaming to their government officials to 'do something'? What agenda is behind all of this all and 'who' benefits. Since we support Israel, we are just as guilty and have their blood on our hands.

“POLITICS AND THE ARTS, INTERNATIONALISM, AND ACTIVISM:

Obama's War Cabinet December 1 brought more disappointment but no surprises. Obama's national security appointees (like all his earlier ones) aren't "change to believe in" or what people expected for their votes. They're recycled establishment figures. Their agenda is business as usual, and they'll continue the same failed Bush administration policies at home and abroad. Washington's criminal class is bipartisan. Obama was chosen to lead it and is assembling a rogue team that's little different from the one it's replacing.

Washington Times - Decision on Obama citizenship pending The Supreme Court held off Friday on deciding whether to grant a hearing in a long-shot lawsuit that would decide whether Barack Obama can constitutionally become president as a "natural born" U.S. citizen. The Friday list of court orders that denies or grants hearings did not mention the lawsuit, which says Mr. Obama should be disqualified from the presidency because he purportedly acquired the same British citizenship that his father had when he was born.
