OBAMA IS A NEOCON LIAR
OBAMA IS A NEOCON LIAR
The following is my commentary concerning, "UN Official Demands Torture Accountability," (by Edger. Antemedius.com. July 2, 2009) and specifically Edger's comment at the end of that post as follows, "Where is the line between avoiding the issue, and becoming complicit and an accessory?"
Edger posted the following video:
Hi Edger,
Yours is an excellently posed question: "Where is the line between avoiding the issue, and becoming complicit and an accessory?" There is definitely an element of "damned if you do, and damned if you don't" in Obama's tightrope walking. His handlers and he are trying to get away with not calling a spade a spade -- not calling waterboarding and other "harsh interrogation techniques" what they are: torture. Due to Obama's approach to life (his severely deficient worldview), he cannot roundly expose and denounce all the lies going back to the beginning of time while at the same time calling for peace and reconciliation without being directly confronted with having to include his stated arch enemies, the Pashtuns, he has conflated with the Taliban, conflated with al Qaeda, ignored as a CIA creation.
To advance the construction of purely worldly Empire, hypocritically, Obama murders Pashtuns while feigning he wants only to look forward or "just move on," as the neocons are so fond of saying concerning all neocon evils (your point, Edger: "avoiding the issues").
So, Obama has his war in Pakistan that he's managed to get the Pakistani military to wage as an illegal imperial proxy. It is estimated that he's now directly responsible for the murder of 600-800 civilians, including many women, children, and babies via his use of predator drones (that some are moving to declare illegal, but why stop there?). He has created some 2-3 million internal war refugees. We don't know how many have been killed by the Pakistani military, but those deaths as well are on Obama's and Obama's accomplice's hands.
What were the capital crimes of the Pakistani Pashtuns, that they wanted their local brand of sharia? When was the evidence presented to the world and a ruling made under international law, which is the law of the land in the United States by virtue of explicit language in the U.S. Constitution? Such evidence was never provided and no such ruling occurred.
The border with Afghanistan is porous. The Pashtuns live on either side. They are close relatives. Under the illegal President, George W. Bush (illegal via an illegal ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court), the U.S., gave only trumped-up reasons for making war on the Taliban in Afghanistan. The Taliban had asked for evidence that Osama bin Laden was responsible for 9/11. No such evidence was supplied to the Taliban or to the world because no such evidence was available. All the neocons and Bush simply ignored that and went to war, which is a war crime for which he should have been impeached, tried, and removed from office posthaste.
Obama should likewise have already been impeached, tried, and removed from office. Obama's Vice President, Joe Biden would then be held to the same standard, which isn't very high at all.
When George W. Bush had Osama bin Laden in his sights, he gave the order not to shoot. He rather allowed the CIA operative to cross Afghanistan in a caravan of vehicles on the road that the U.S. didn't attack or block even though the U.S. "owned" the roads at that point. Then Bush had Afghani proxies surround Tora Bora on only three sides, leaving the Pakistan border wide open for Osama and Osama's people to exit the mountain stronghold (via clearly known passes easily targeted by U.S. airpower) into Pakistan. In addition, the U.S. military actually conducted an air evacuation of thousands from Afghanistan to Pakistan. Middle-and lower-level U.S. personnel were not allowed to hinder the mass exodus, even though the group couldn't help but contain al Qaeda. Even general officers were stunned by the Pentagon's (Donald Rumsfeld's and Bush's, et al's) complicity.
So, why did Bush want Osama bin Laden from the Taliban in the first place? Was he sure that they wouldn't give him up without evidence?
Now, just how afraid was Bush that al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden would attack within U.S. borders in any attack not coordinated with and approved by the neocons? He had little to no such fears.
Bush did all of that (was the front man) to keep the "War on Terrorism" alive for an excuse for the U.S. with Israel and Britain to takeover the whole Middle East, which if one looks at the maps where the U.S. is now calling the shots, is quickly becoming part of the Empire in the most megalomaniacal sense.
We've read recently that as a sign to Iran and others, Egypt, which is headed by a U.S. propped-up dictator, Hosni Mubarak, allowed an Israeli submarine, no doubt equipped with nuclear missiles, to go through the Suez Canal. We've also read that the Saudi Royal Family, another antidemocratic, fascistic, U.S. propped-up dictatorial regime, has announced that it will allow the Israelis to over fly the Saudi Kingdom in an air raid on Iran. Add to this the recent asinine statement of U.S. Vice President Joe Biden that the U.S. would not block such an attack, even where Israel has provided no more evidence against Iran than has been so far presented, which is absolutely zero, and one is left to conclude that the Empire is floating all of this to gauge the attention span, awareness, understanding, and resolve of the righteous-minded.
Speak out now loudly and widely that they will all yet be held to account for hard, substantiated, publicly provided evidence or watch it all unfold and be complicit yourselves.
Hosni Mubarak is nominally Sunni. The Saudis profess Islam as Sunnis, but they are forced to pretend greater devotion by reason of Mecca (the second choice of Mohammed for the geographical center of his misleading religion) being within their borders. King Hussein of Jordan is on Obama's lap as well. Certainly, Asif Ali Zardari of Pakistan is there, as evidenced by his willingness to destroy his own people on orders from Obama. Nouri al-Maliki of Iraq may baulk as much as possible for a show (being Shia), but he does not defy the U.S. where it matters. The U.S. fortress embassy is to remain. The U.S. bases are to be consolidated but some forward troops are to remain just in case. The oil will flow but only as okayed by the U.S. That's the crux. If anyone in Iraq tries to gain ultimate control of Iraqi oil, he is to be eliminated and replaced one way or another. Al-Maliki and all other Iraqis know this full well, despite Bush's ambiguous proclamations that the oil under Iraq belongs to the Iraqi people. The war was first and foremost to control oil. Bush and Cheney didn't invade for the sand or even the precious water. Oil is still big money. Money buys individual souls and whole nations and eventually the world, so hopes the person on the planet richest in mammon, who is not Bill Gates but whose identity is rather completely hidden from public view.
So, what areas are at all still in mundane question? Syria is majority Sunni with some Shia and not completely on board with the Empire, yet. Lebanon is in turmoil, but as the Empire's proxy, Israel is largely responsible for handling them directly, much in the fashion Zardari is now "handling" the Pashtuns. Turkey is a NATO member, and while it has it's concerns about the Kurds, it's been allowed to show the Kurds that the U.S. will not sacrifice Turkey for Kurdish impunity. So, concerning the Stans that fall outside the former Soviet Union and the other Islamic nations in the area, only Iran stands squarely and defiantly against Anglo-American-Israeli imperial domination.
The U.S. neocons (Anglo-American-Israeli worldly and clearly self-admitted Machiavellian empire-builders) are doing all the things in their minds to demonize and destabilize the Iranian Islamic theocracy. They point to all the evils, and even concerning the more righteous aspects, they twist those too to cause the gullible to perceive them as more evil than the U.S. alternative.
I don't hold with Islamic theocracy. Obviously, I don't though hold with the neocons. In fact, the neocons are wickeder, even wickedest.
Obama is a neocon. Know it. He's a liar. Don't trust him, ever.

Standing Comment, all posts and pages:
To all homosexuals and their supporters, condoners, promoters, accepters, confirmers, and the like:
Unless you have something completely new that hasn't already been refuted, don't bother. It won't show up.
Rehashing what has already been refuted is a waste of everyone's time.
I'm not interested in casting pearls before swine, giving the children's bread to the dogs, or rebuking a forever scorner.
Learn or go away: There is zero wisdom in homosexuality. Homosexuality is wrong. Nothing any homosexual or anyone else can say or do will alter it. No one needs the Bible to know it either. It's prima facie. There's no such thing as an unrepentant-homosexual Christian. There never has been and never will be. That's the way of it. If you don't like it, change.
Do site searches on the various topics concerning homosexuality to determine if your "point" has already been handled. Currently, I provide three different search methods. The "WordPress" search is still the most thorough.
The same can be done regarding militarism, capitalism, coercion, and many other main issues and themes.
TREATMENT, RUDENESS, POLITENESS, OFFENSE, TRUTH
Many times over the course of this website's existence, I've had commentators complain about how I've treated them and/or others. Much less frequently has anyone taken exception to those commentator's comments. I assume that's because for one, I appear to be holding my own.
Often, I have raised the fact that Jesus called certain people "serpents." I've often also mentioned how he cleaned the temple with whip in hand, not that he used it on anyone. It certainly doesn't say that he did, and neither was he charged with it in the kangaroo court of the serpents who ended up murdering him by proxy just for, among other wonderful things, speaking out and speaking truth.
If I say that those who are engaged in serpentine behavior are the New Testament "serpents," then why take offense at my saying it rather than standing with Jesus and me about it?
If others don't like it that I treat others or them the way I have in this regard, why don't they take it up with the serpents and/or their own consciences and God?
If I wanted to catch flies, I'd use honey. I don't want flies on this level. Human beings aren't to be on the level of flies. If the truth is bitter as vinegar, then ask yourself why and learn to taste it as sweet but not sickeningly so. Why attack the message and messenger, as the serpents did, and become a serpent by so doing?
The issue is not "name calling" on some bratty, childish level. When Jesus said "serpents," he was not being as a brat. His level was completely adult to adults and children. He dared say that the children understood the clear and plain truth before the adults who, afterall, had been abused and socialized by the serpents. He still calls adults back. Those who hear him and know his voice (truth) turn around and do the other required things together as well.
What is it for a human being to be more serpentine or reptilian than what God initially gave? What was and remains Jesus's point? What is the reptilian brain versus the vastly higher human brain with its cerebral cortex and frontal and temporal lobes and specific areas of altruistic sentiments and abilities? What are those higher areas before they are damaged, before the communication pathways to them and between them are diminished by evil that is always some form of abuse? How are those pathways reestablished or created where they never were in this fleshly life?
The snake lays its eggs. The eggs hatch. The snake parent doesn't nurture or raise the offspring. It's every snake for itself. Human parents and family are not designed to be that way. Humans hand down the learning of nurturing. Many people get better training than do others, and many people have a greater aptitude for learning and predisposition for the higher and highest virtues. Many are less abused. People can change for the better and best though, no matter where the starting point. They only can't if they don't — if they reject it.
Snakes, of course, also come in venomous varieties and in strangling varieties, etc., such that they have been attackers and even devourers of humans for eons, guilty and innocent alike.
Now, Jesus knew that most people could relate to what were, and still are, largely considered "good" parenting skills and "good" "family" relations. He regularly used those concepts to get people to consider the wider implications for the whole of humanity. He did know that many would refuse. He let them go. He didn't demand secular or false-religion legislation to rein them in with threats of violence and imprisonment. He was not and is not coercive. Even his Church is a voluntary place to be.
What he still teaches (through the written words in the New Testament and as those connect with the Old and also teaches through the Holy Spirit he definitely sent as he said he would) is, among many other things, that "good" is vastly better than has been commonly accepted and that real "family" is everyone left after all the rest have rejected the higher and highest good. He raised the standards far above the Old Testament and far above the "modern" standard.
The American Empire and the American people in general aren't even touching the hem of his garment, let alone even attempting to stand upright and side-by-side with him.
I point out that Jesus was, and is, a Real Liberal Christian. He is the one who brought back this censored truth that is the light. After he had spoken it and lived it and was murdered for doing so, the censors set about to re-censor it and did. They couldn't put it out though — couldn't completely extinguish the truth. I wouldn't be saying it now again with all credit to God, just as Jesus, if they had been able to completely block it.
I point out that each of those terms ("real," "liberal," and "Christian," along with "Church") are actually redundant terms — synonyms that are so close that they become one. The term "liberal" here is not the common usage, which common usage is a deliberate corruption of the term. There is no harm in real liberalism. There is no vileness in it. There is only beneficence. "Real" may be understood as the opposite of false-hearted, dark side, and dead of the Holy Spirit. Christian is both real and liberal in those senses. To arrive at living, doing, being those full senses requires what Jesus lives, does, and is in the highest. Finally, the Church is the whole.
Who are they who want to drag it down, censor it, work against it, lessen it, ignore it, etc.? Well, who sides with Jesus and who sides against him? Did the serpents side with him then? Do they now?
We call war-mongers "hawks." We call "peacemakers" blessed and "doves." Why do the hawks not take offense at "hawks" but do take offense at "serpents"? "Hawks" is not yet as telling to the general public, but I must tell you that all hawks are serpents. Why do some say, "Greed is good" but take offense at "serpents"? I tell you there is no difference between the selfish and the serpents. Why do people take offense at serpents when they do not take offense at homosexuality? I tell you the homosexual spirit also comes out from the dark side. It is a choice. It is harmful. Many are abused with it. Many never overcome it. Their very brain matter is transformed by it. Then they claim it is good when it remains confusion and definitely wrong and harmful.
Many arguments were put forth in support of tolerance. I understood that Jesus "tolerated," as in he did not execute wrath but rather told the truth and let the blind follow the blind (blind to the truth) into the ditch of their own making. I have watched while the movement has been corrupted into condoning what was once only to be tolerated. I have watched further while it has moved from condoning to promoting even to the youngest children to get to them before the truth does. I have seen evil at work, and I sound the alarm. I face censorship and other negative reactions for it.
As the American Empire claims to be a light to the world, it murders innocent babies by Hellfire missiles fired from predator drones controlled by armchair, video-gaming serpents in uniform. It tortures those who are not even suspects. It spies on its own without even probable cause or reasonable suspicion. It lies its way into wars for spoils and control. It neglects its poor, whom it treads down for the sakes of the superrich — for the sake of the massive flow of mammon from the bottom up (no trickledown — trickledown is a farce and always has been). All is claimed to be okay in America though — that America is headed in the right direction — because soon, even "don't tell, don't ask" will be a thing of the quaint past and homosexuals may be able to sleep together and have sex in the barracks with the "blessing" of the Empire while they practice murdering the innocent for the sake of homosexual, greedy plutocrats who own them and who, in turn, are owned by the dark-side spirit named by God and Jesus as Satan.
Whose side are you on? I speak truth to warn. I don't tell the secular government what to do other than occasionally to say what at least would be less hypocritical within their fallen, unenlightened system. I do so for spiritual reasons. What I want is the Christian Commons.
Now, if you submit a comment:
What you write here against the Real Liberal Christian Church founded by Jesus Christ will mark you in the Biblical sense unless you show that you have turned and are repenting in time to escape the damnation of your own choosing. That's the way of it. Don't be tempted by the devil to stand opposed to the call of righteousness. Overcome such evil temptation. Help others to help yet others to come to righteous behavior through-and-through.
Check out how even after reading this, people will still take it out of context and twist it to an evil end.
