Part of the Plan
2 June 2011 par (Open-Publishing)
By David Glenn Cox
Why did President Barack Obama choose this week to bring up Israel and the 1967 borders as a basis for peace negotiations? It will raise a lot of hackles, but in the end it will become a tempest in a teapot. Israel will never give up one inch of ground under any circumstances, nor will the US pressure her to do so. This is a diversionary tactic, kicking the cat to cover the truth and the truth is bad. It is as bad as the truth can come.

WHAT OBAMA’S AFGHANISTAN "PROGRESS" LOOKS LIKE
1 June 2011 par (Open-Publishing)
Stop the War’s day conference on Afghanistan on Saturday 11 June could not be more timely. Since President Obama told the British Parliament on 25 May that the US/Nato forces were "preparing to turn a corner" and the Taliban’s momentum had been "broken", facts on the ground have exposed the reality.
The day after Obama’s speech, eight US troops were killed, the highest daily figure for four years. The next day, two British soldiers were killed. The father of (…) -

Educated and perceptive people are generally aware of horrendous Mainstream media (MSM) censorship in the pro-US, pro-Zionist, democratic fascist Western Murdochracies and Lobbyocracies. But how can we expose the extent and nature of this censorship?
Murdochracy describes democracy perverted by Big Money media empires such as that of media mogul Rupert Murdoch. Lobbyocracy describes democracy perverted by Big Money corporate or other Lobbies (most notoriously, in relation to man-made (…) -

In further case of censorship, the BBC deny Palestine’s right to exist
28 May 2011 par (Open-Publishing)
It seems that the Mic Righteous controversy, in which the BBC censored the words ‘Free Palestine’ from his freestyle on 1Xtra radio, has opened a can of worms the BBC cannot ignore for much longer. Just one day after they released an official response to the hundreds of complaints over the drowning out of the term ‘Free Palestine’, a further case of censorship has emerged. On the very same radio segment, ‘Fire in the Booth’ with DJ Charlie Sloth, just a couple of months after the Mic (…)

1 commentPresident Barack Obama made a speech to the UK Houses of Parliament in Westminster Hall London on 25 May 2011. Obama’s speech involved egregious lying by commission and lying by omission, holocaust ignoring and holocaust denial. This widely disseminated, shameless lying by Obama promises more death and destruction for Humanity at the hands of the UK-US Anglo-American state terrorist tag-team.
For the transcript of the speech see: .

The Israeli reality that Obama doesn’t understand
25 May 2011 par (Open-Publishing)
It’s impossible to understand why a country and a people continue to refuse to do the right thing, something that could have been done a long while back.
"President Obama doesn’t understand the reality," according to "associates" of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who spoke after the meeting between the two leaders. And when that is the headline of the daily Yisrael Hayom, it is clearly Netanyahu’s headline: "President Obama doesn’t understand the reality."
You can’t blame him: It (…) -
Obama to Israel: Take whatever you want
25 May 2011 par (Open-Publishing)
In his latest speech, Obama’s thinly veiled rhetoric proves he will do anything to satisfy his pro-Israel voter base.
In 2008, Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential candidate, pandered to pro-Israeli voters and Israel by promising in a speech addressed to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), that Jerusalem would forever remain "the undivided capital of Israel".
Three years later, Obama is on another pre-campaign trail in order to improve his chances for re-election (…)
