"HUNT FOR BIN LADEN" A NATIONAL SHAME

Posted by Sir Moshe on Monday, December 14, 2009 1:14:18 PM
Conservative commentator, former Marine Colonel Bob Pappas has been saying for years that bin Laden died at Tora Bora and that Senator Kerry's claim that bin Laden escaped with Bush help was a lie.  Now we know that Pappas was correct.  The embarassment of having Secretary of State Clinton talk about bin Laden in Pakistan was horrific.  He has been dead since December 13, 2001 and now, finally, everyone, Obama, McChrystal, Cheney, everyone who isn't nuts is finally saying what they have known for years.
...

In 66 pages, General Stanley McChrystal never mentions Osama bin Laden.  Everything is "Mullah Omar"now.  In his talk at West Point, President Obama never mentioned Osama bin Laden.  Col. Pappas makes it clear, Vice President Cheney let it "out of the bag" long ago.  Bin Laden was killed by American troops many many years ago.

America knew Osama bin Laden died December 13, 2001.  After that, his use was hardly one to unite America but rather one to divide, scam and play games.  With bin Laden gone, we could have started legitimate nation building in Afghanistan instead of the eternal insurgency that we invented ourselves.

...

What kind of man was Osama bin Laden?  This one time American ally against Russia, son of a wealthy Saudi family, went to Afghanistan to help them fight for their freedom.  America saw him as a great hero then.  Transcripts of the real bin Laden show him to be much more moderate than we claim, angry at Israel and the US government but showing no anger toward Americans and never making the kind of threats claimed.  All of this is public record for any with the will to learn.
...

We know this:  Bin Laden always denied any ties to 9/11 and, in fact, has never been charged in relation to 9/11.  He not only denied involvement, but had done so, while alive, 4 times and had vigorously condemned those who were involved in the attack.

This is on the public record, public in every free country except ours.  We, instead, showed films made by paid actors, made up to look somewhat similar to bin Laden, actors who contradicted bin Ladens very public statements, actors pretending to be bin Laden long after bin Laden's death.

These were done to help justify spending, repressive laws, torture and simple thievery.

For years, we attacked the government of Pakistan for not hunting down someone everyone knew was dead.  Bin Laden's death hit the newspapers in Pakistan on December 15, 2001.  How do you think our ally felt when they were continually berated for failing to hunt down and turn over someone who didn't exist?

What do you think this did for American credibility in Pakistan and through the Islamic world?  Were we seen as criminals, liars or simply fools?  Which one is best? 

This is also treason.

...

How many "Pentagon Pundits," the retired officers who sold their honor to send us to war for what is now known to be domestic political dirty tricks and not national security are culpable in these crimes?

...

We spent 8 years chasing a dead man, spending billions, sending FBI agents, the CIA, Navy Seals, Marine Force Recon, Special Forces, many to their deaths, as part of a political campaign to justify running American into debt, enriching a pack of political cronies and war profiteers and to puff up a pack of Pentagon peacocks and their Whitehouse draft dodging bosses.

How many laws were pushed thru because of a dead man?

How many hundreds were tortured to find a dead man?

How many hundreds died looking for a dead man?

How many billions were spent looking for a dead man?

Every time Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld stood before troops and talked about hunting down the dead bin Laden, it was a dishonor.  Lying to men and women who put their lives on the line is not a joke.

Who is going to answer to the families of those who died for the politics and profit tied to the Hunt for Bin Laden?

We Hold These Truths

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

Obama: Bush Redux

Posted by Sir Moshe on Friday, December 04, 2009 9:20:41 PM

US Nobel peace winner expands drone strikes in Pakistan, a report says.


President Barack Obama  has authorized an expansion of drone attacks on Pakistan’s troubled tribal regions, a new report says.

The New York Times report also says US and Pakistani officials are discussing the possibility of CIA operated drone strikes in Pakistan’s Baluchistan province for the first time.

The purported aim of the American air strikes is to target militants. But Pakistani media outlets say the raids have mostly killed civilians.

The unpopular strikes were initiated under the George W Bush administration in 2006.

Use of drones has increased since the Nobel peace laureate, Obama, became president.

Obama has repeatedly vowed to expand the controversial strikes that have raised anti-US sentiments across Pakistan.

The development also comes as Obama has announced his intention to deploy 33,000 more troops to Afghanistan and his top commander in Afghanistan says that Washington is not planning an early exit from Afghanistan.

Although nearly 110,000 foreign troops are present in Afghanistan after more than eight years of US-led invasion, they have not been able to establish stability in the war-ravaged country.

Obama’s decision to send more troops to Afghanistan was condemned by Democratic congressman Dennis Kucinich.

“The war is a threat to our national security. We’ll spend over $100 billion next year to bomb a nation of poor people while we reenergize the Taliban, destabilize Pakistan, deplete our army and put more of our soldiers’ lives on the line,” the Ohio congressman said in a statement.

Obama = Bush

Posted by Sir Moshe on Friday, December 04, 2009 5:13:21 PM

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, that Obama is simply continuing what Bush before him started.

Bravo Jim DeMint!

Posted by Sir Moshe on Thursday, December 03, 2009 9:15:45 PM
December 3, 2009


Dear C4L Member,
C4L staffers have been working very closely with Senator Jim DeMint’s office in recent days to advance Audit the Fed (S. 604) in the Senate.

Just a little while ago, it was announced that Senator DeMint, who is the lead Senate cosponsor of Audit the Fed, has put a “hold” on Bernanke’s confirmation for a second term as Federal Reserve chairman until S. 604 receives an up or down vote on the Senate floor.

Keep reading for more details on how your immediate action could help make this vote possible.

While Ben Bernanke was handed a few softball questions from establishment politicians during today’s Senate Banking Committee hearing on his nomination, he also faced serious grilling from senators who are tired of his evasive answers and secretive practices.

DeMint is joined by Senator Jim Bunning and S. 604 sponsor Senator Bernie Sanders in pledging to block action on Bernanke’s reconfirmation.

According to DeMint, "Mr. Bernanke has been one of the chief proponents of the Fed's easy money policy that created the current financial crisis. He ignored asset bubbles, dismissed concerns about the weakness of the dollar, and helped encourage the credit mania that led to the financial panic. Even worse, Mr. Bernanke has refused to accept any responsibility for his role in these actions prior to financial crisis."

...


In Liberty,


John Tate

President

The Dangers of THC

Posted by Sir Moshe on Thursday, December 03, 2009 8:45:36 PM
The THC(TownHall Conservative) compound, commonly known as the republican party, derives from the Latin Ovis aries.

It is a highly dangerous and noxious substance, and reported to be extremely addictive.

At the present moment, there is no known treatment short of abstinence.

Habitual use of THC typically produces the following symptoms, which sometimes last an entire lifetime:

a)An irrational fear of all things Muslim;
b)A blind allegiance to all governmental military mandates;
c)An inexplicable cow-towing to democrat stooges such as Nancy Pelosi;
d)A rabid hatred of true political conservatives such as representative Ron Paul from Texas;
e)A bizarre infatuation with the late political moderate Ronald Reagan.

Such persons should be considered dangerous, and are to be avoided at all times.

Those under the influence also exhibit odd mood swings, based solely on the letter after the current president's name.

If the letter is a D, THCers are known to constantly repeat the word "constitution", or, sometimes, "unconstitutional".

If the letter is an R, the words "commander-in-chief" are repeated ad nauseam, with "unpatriotic" sometimes mixed in.
 
THC, when ingested by large groups of people simultaneously, has been known to cause mass psychosis.

In the past, such groups have successfully destroyed  entire countries, bringing whole empires to their knees.


An Example of Mass Psychosis

Bunning Statement on Bernanke: ‘You Are the Definition of a Moral Hazard’

       
       
       

"Four years ago when you came before the Senate for confirmation to be Chairman of the Federal Reserve, I was the only Senator to vote against you. In fact, I was the only Senator to even raise serious concerns about you. I opposed you because I knew you would continue the legacy of Alan Greenspan, and I was right. But I did not know how right I would be and could not begin to imagine how wrong you would be in the following four years."

Obama's BIG Sellout

Posted by Sir Moshe on Thursday, December 03, 2009 2:04:55 PM

In “Obama’s Big Sellout”, Matt Taibbi argues that President Obama has packed his economic team with Wall Street insiders intent on turning the bailout into an all-out giveaway. Rather than keeping his progressive campaign advisers on board, Taibbi says Obama gave key economic positions in the White House to the very people who caused the economic crisis in the first place. Taibbi also points to the ties Obama’s appointees have to one man in particular: Bob Rubin, the former Goldman Sachs co-chairman who served as Treasury secretary under Bill Clinton.

I Mean, Really

Posted by Sir Moshe on Saturday, November 28, 2009 8:23:10 PM

(Why We Have Been Conditioned by the Media - and Neocons Specifically - to Hate Islam.)


I haven't been too active here lately.

Of late, the Townhall blog and forums have been the furthest thing from my mind.

Oh I enjoy slumming as much as the next guy, believe me.  It gives one perspective.

And at some level, it's got to be good for the soul.

But Townhall?

I mean, really.

If I wanted to read about nuking Iran, I would listen to Michael Savage.

If I wanted to read about how we need to defend Israel, and that Di$k Cheney was the greatest vice president of the past 50 years, I would tune in to Michael Medved.

Or if I had any doubts that republicans were good and democrats were bad, I would turn to Sean Hannity to reassure me.

And so I apologize if this has already been rationally and intelligently debated and discussed, but I did come across something that did this morning catch my eye:


Islamic finance has five pillars: a ban on interest, a ban on speculation, a ban on haram (forbidden) investments, such as pork or gambling, the requirement of partnership or sharing of profit and loss and the requirement of asset backing. Getting round the ban on interest is the problem and opportunity of Islamic finance … Typically, interest is expressed as a share in a profit, such as the rent paid for use of a property or asset.

------------------------
www.theaustralian.com.au/business/news/western-investors-watch-nervously-as-worth-of-islamic-bond-is-tested-to-limit/story-e6frg90o-1225804452440
-----------------------

Interesting.

A ban on interest?

How is a banker supposed to eat if he can't charge 29.9% interest? Shake yourself, Mohammed!

A ban on speculation? You mean no more 50:1 leverage? Listen. It wasn't  the bank's money anyway. Why hold them responsible?? Who gave the money to the banks? That's right - it was Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Why not hold them accountable? Huh?

(Author's note: As an options trader, I profit from and have a healthy respect for leverage. However, if I'm wrong... I eat it. Not the taxpayer!)

A ban on gambling? How provincial! You mean, investments have to be... ethical? How is a guy supposed to get ahead in this world? Hard work and honesty? This reminds me of the old saying: Why go to jail when you can go to Washington?

(As a sidenote,  this is the reason the Muslim is so backwards, and why they don't and will never have a Las Vegas. I've been to Las Vegas, and let me tell you, Meccah ain't no Las Vegas.)


"Partnership or sharing of profit and loss"? Now this is beyond the pale. I mean, really. I can understand not privatizing profits. People want somethin' for nothin'. Always have, and always will. But this would also  mean  the end of the socializing of losses. That's correct.  Not to mention no more 600 million dollar bonuses(see Paulson, Hank).

(For the record, the author has no problem with bonuses. Why? Because a deal's a deal.)

Asset backing? Ok, now these people are insulting my manhood, and apple pie itself. Are we really supposed to do away with mortgage-backed securities that were fraudulently rated triple-A?(See Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Phill Graham and Chuck Schumer.)

In conclusion, let me say that it is clear for all to see that  this business model would be very bad for the benign banker.

No one knows what would happen if such a rubric were to be implemented. But it might just mean a freeze-up of the credit markets, and the end of debt as we know it. And if the American people aren't in debt, how are they to be controlled?

It is an unacceptable situation, and leads me to ask:

Could demonic Islamic finance be the driving force behind our "war on terror"?

I should ask Bill O'Reilly. He'd know. Or maybe I should read Sarah Palin's new book. I'm sure I'd find the answer in the chapter entitled "Intellectual Giant".

(Going Rogue.  I wonder which word has the greater frequency of usage: "constitution"... or "hockey mom"?

It could be a toss-up. Maybe Sarah likes morning constitutions.

 
???????????????)

       
       
       

Update:

Nov. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Dubai’s government said it hasn’t guaranteed the debt of Dubai World, the state-controlled holding company struggling with $59 billion in liabilities, and that creditors must help it restructure.

“The company received financing based on its project schedule, not a government guarantee,” Abdulrahman Al Saleh, director general of the emirate’s Department of Finance, said in an interview with Dubai TV, when asked whether the government was backing the debt. “Lenders should bear part of the responsibility.”

And there you have it, folks. You have just looked pure evil in the eye. Everyone knows that if lenders make bad loans, the government, using taxpayer funds, should bail them out. That's just the American way.

Obama's China Junket

Posted by Sir Moshe on Wednesday, November 18, 2009 9:47:59 PM
"We're Opening Doors for Wall Street and Nothing More"

By Mike Whitney


"This is the real reason behind Obama's trip to China. There's no truth to the rumor that US policymakers care about "currency manipulation" or the ongoing looting of the American middle class. That's rubbish. China's "dollar-peg" essentially serves the interests of the giant multinational corporations and Wall Street speculators who own the media, the courts, the congress, the White House and most of the country."
