Sunni Shia Peace and Politics

As a Westerner I have been trying to wrap my brain around the Middle East Conflicts for quite some time. The following is what I have come up with so far. It is is a response to a post by a friend: "There WAS peace in the Middle East before we got there.  Sunnis and Shias were living together in peace as Catholics and Protestants do in America and Europe. They lived harmoniously together, intermarried, celebrated common local religious holidays, worked together, respected each other's differences just as we do here. They had established an ecumenical state of being.  But the Shias are a minority and often well educated and somewhat Marxist believing that the Sunni traditions have grown too corrupt. Reforming activist groups have become militant and being supported by outsiders and what was once a peaceful people who had achieved stasis have been consistently prodded into adversity with one another. It would be the same if Mexico and Canada had funneled massive funds to the B...

The Islamic Problem with the West

Islam's problem with the West centers on the freedom of speech.  Their communities live in the bondage and fear of speaking freely and are enjoined from expressing their thoughts and ideas. They believe we should censure as they do. We flatly refuse.

Romney Elegant?

"Mr. Romney said his comments were “not elegantly stated” while at the same time reiterating the main point." -Fox News I would expect that statements by a person of Romney's calibre should be elegantly stated.

Kamal Nazer Yasin of Eurasia.net writes on 5/01/09: "At a UN anti-racism conference, dubbed Durban II and held in Geneva, Ahmadinejad made a spectacle of himself by making what some diplomats characterized as a "hate speech." In his conference comments, Ahmadinejad alleged that Zionism "personifies racism," going on to accuse Western states of encouraging the establishment of a "totally racist government in occupied Palestine." One must remember that Zionism has its roots in the occupation of Israel during the time of Moses and was characterized then by a strict command from God to purify the land pf Canaan killing all the inhabitants of the existing towns and villages and to dwell there "forever". At the same time the Law of Moses called for a strict observance of purification rites and the strict ordering of twelve tribes and the administration of worship and justice by the Levitical priesthood and families, the Kohanim. But, they blew i...

Confiscation Vs. Freedom

Image
When the average street dealer gets arrested for drugs all his belongings immediately get confiscated; his car, his boat and his Rolex watches. They figure he bought this with the money gained through the sale of drugs Nobody questions Madoff 's belongings. He is free on ten million dollars bail paid with the money he gained by fucking his rich friends. Gotta laugh at the politics involved here.

"A Goodbye Kiss": Threw His Shoes at The President of the United States of America!

Image
As he flung the shoes, Mr Zaidi shouted: "This is a goodbye kiss from the Iraqi people, dog." A hero through his shoes! "In terms of the agreement this is a major achievement," spoke an unruffled President Bush knowing how important freedom of expression is in a free society. Espousing the ideals of social freedom, President Bush supported the act as an indication that freedom was beginning in Iraq. Although he will be view in history with great perplexity on a number of fronts, especially economic, he will forever be associated with this heroic act on the part of many of the Iraqi people. The Iraqi government called on his employers to apologize for the act, apparently planned for months. Then, the Al-Baghdadia news agency responded with a statement demanding al-Zaidi's release "in line with the democracy and freedom of expression that the American authorities promised the Iraqi people." They still have to learn that freedom of expression means non-v...

Daley Obama Blagojevich -"Politics = Who Owes What to Whom"

Abusive Self Interest: Tyranny

Image
Secrecy has nothing to do with the national security and everything to do with private interests and those who lie, steal, cheat, murder, rape, pillage the public by using executive privilege. Aristotle and every major political philosopher since has warned against secrecy in office. It indicates the presence of abusive self interest which is tyranny. The president is required to turn over his records upon leaving office for the public record but Obama intends to assist Bush and Cheney in continuing their secrecy. The president-elect’s Web site promises he will reverse Executive Order 13233, nullifying the timely, lawful release of presidential records.

Bush-Cheney-Rice ... Obama-Biden-Clinton

I believe that strong leadership requests information, makes decisive decisions and bears the responsibility. The level of knowledge required to be decisive in the office of the President of the United States was much greater than the present administration possessed and its lack of wisdom crippled the financial system of this nation; something the people trusted it was well poised to strengthen. What system can Obama enhance with popular words, high ideals, charismatic speeches, and a plentiful lack of hard earned leadership and experience while Biden and Clinton are calling the shots? This looks like a repeat performance.

Socialist “Bailout” Could Spark Collapse By Cliff Kincaid

AIM Column | September 29, 2008 Many commentators, Schiff said, are telling people that if the bailout doesn’t go forward, there will be an economic crisis. While many of the talking heads and pundits on TV have been providing calming words of reassurance about proposed federal intervention in the financial system, analyst Peter Schiff of Euro Pacific Capital has been accurately warning for years about a financial meltdown and says that the worst, if Congress eventually passes the “bailout” bill, is yet to come. Asked for comment on current media coverage of the financial meltdown, he told Accuracy in Media, “Absent when they have me on, it’s pretty bad.” Many commentators, Schiff said, are telling people that if the bailout doesn’t go forward, there will be an economic crisis. However, “if we do it, there will be a bigger crisis,” he predicts. “The politicians want to make believe we can avoid paying the piper if we pass these bailouts,” he said. “It’s just not t...

Three robbers burnt alive in Karachi by Raza Hussain

May 15, 2008 In a shocking incident of vigilante justice, a mob in Karachi on Wednesday burnt three bandits alive near the Timber Market, venting their anger and disgust over the rising crimes. The gory incident took place when four robbers barged into Akbar Soomro’s apartment on the third floor in the Somiya Mukarram Palace, situated near the Timber Market. The robbers barged into his house at around 1:30 pm and held the children hostage at gunpoint. They cut the telephone line and electricity wires and locked the house from inside and started misbehaving with the women. The bandits looted cash and jewellery. When they were about to flee, the door bell rang. When the bandits opened the door, they found Akbar, the head of the family. They shot and injured him and started fleeing. Akbar, a seaman by profession, chased the bandits and made a hue and cry. The passers-by and residents of the area caught the three bandits and started beating them, while the fourth escaped. They immedi...

On Oil, Politics, and Hating Me Because I Tell the Truth by David Brant

This is and awesome article by David Brant that may be found on Ground Report , I would highly recommend reading his material. Right on, David! W ith oil prices flowing relentlessly upward--at least for the time being--and gasoline prices naturally, inevitably following suit, it should be clear to all educated adults, reglardless of whehter or not they are economists or day-traders, why these prices are going up. We are all taught in school, well before our college-age years, of the law of supply and demand. Assuming that demand remains constant, when supply goes down, prices go up; when supply goes up, prices go down. With two very, very heavily populated nations called China and India increasing their demand for energy and, hence, oil at a ruthlessly fast rate as they move their societies into the prosperous capitalistic model of doing business and become technologically savvy, oil supplies and the prospecting for places from which to get new supplies are having great amounts o...

Iranian Speedboats in Gulf of Hormuz

Mr. Bush said: "I don't know what their thinking was, but I'm telling you what I think it was, I think it was a provocative act." The US president was speaking in the White House Rose Garden on the first anniversary of the Iraq troop surge, hours before leaving for a week-long Middle East trip. i don't know what their thinking was this is a common loaded rhetorical statement which communicates disinterest in the other person or party ... it shows a closed mind and a hardened spirit but I'm telling you what I think it was I think it was a provocative act with this our president has stated to the world what he wishes to think and believe and what he wishes us to think and believe in other words get ready for war echoes of the bay of tonkin also: What is this Iran provocation BS?

In Memory of Benazir Bhutto Cut U.S. Ties to Musharraf By Medea Benjamin

Image
The following is an excerpt from Information Clearinghouse: "Bhutto's assassination is a blow to people all over Pakistan, and the world, who hold life sacred and believe in the basics precepts of democracy. It is also a blow to women worldwide who took strength from seeing such a courageous, articulate and charismatic woman playing a leadership role in a powerful Muslim country. Inside Pakistan, even her most bitter critics wept at the news of her death, understanding that it is indeed a dark day when assassination becomes a tool for eliminating opposing viewpoint" There is much speculation about who committed this odious act. It could certainly be religious militants opposed to a leader like Bhutto who repeatedly expressed her determination to combat violent extremists. Bhutto was perceived by many Pakistanis as too "pro-Western," especially after remarks that if elected Prime Minister,...

THE EU: FIRST IN POSITION; FIRST IN PREEMINENCE

Image
By Debra Rae February 5, 2006 NewsWithViews.com By definition, globalism is an interdependent, one-world state that undermines Western traditionalism inclusive of the US Constitution , free enterprise, Judeo-Christian ethic, and the traditional family—all of which, over time, are exchanged for so-called enlightened collaborative consciousness in the name of “collective security.” Curious, isn’t it, that the National Chairman of the Communist Party USA, Gus Hall once made this startling admission: “The battle [to save America] will be lost, not when freedom of speech is finally taken away.” Instead, Hall continued, America will be lost “when her citizens become so adjusted or conditioned to getting along with the group that, when they finally see the threat, they say, ‘I can’t afford to be controversial.’” That is to s...

BILDERBERG 2007 REPORT

ELITE MEET BEHIND STIFF SECURITY Secret Cabal Roosts at Ritz-Carlton; Riot Police Keep All But Invited Out BILDERBERG 2007 REPORT AFP’s Jim Tucker is back in the United States after discovering Bilderberg right in the middle of Istanbul, and not at the Klassis Country Club, 40 miles outside Istanbul as he first believed. What follows is Jim’s first on-the-spot report, filed before leaving Istanbul. By James P. Tucker Jr. ISTANBUL, Turkey—Bilderberg celebrated President Bush’s “surrender” on two major issues while showing distress over continuing setbacks to its goal of establishing a world government under the United Nations. Bush’s surrender came on two fronts: The environment and the sovereignty-surrendering Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST). As recently as May 25, Bush administration officials reiterated his long-standing opposition to European demands on the environment, especially the Kyoto Treaty, which would impose he...

Argument Without End —Robert S. McNamara - Review

Image
Spotlight Reviews January 4, 2000 Reviewer: miketol@mtco.com (Eureka, IL United States) When In Retrospect first came out, some of the people at the college where I teach came up to me and said: "Did you hear? McNamara's published a book and he says the Vietnam War was all a mistake!" Whoa - talk about your late-breaking news! Still, I suppose hearing those sentiments from the highest levels imparts a certain power to them that us lowly grunts could never hope to possess - but I think I recall saying "this is a big mistake" on my first patrol (I served in 'Nam in '68-'69). The rub, of course, comes when we try to figure out WHY it was a mistake, and it is here that McNamara can give us something truly significant. Does he? I think that he does, but what he has to give us has been dished up many times before. Apparently realizing that he hadn't provided those answers the war requires in In Retrospect, McNamara instituted a series of conferences...
