A Declaration of War

Palestine State Missile of all Israel lg

Ari Bussel explains the fact that both Hamas (rulers of Gaza) and the Palestine Authority have written official documents that call for the utter destruction of Israel and Jewish culture. In the explanation you can feel the intense frustration that the West (including the American government) have bent over backwards to accommodate the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian State even though the goal of Arabs that call themselves Palestinians is to bring about a 21st century Holocaust.

Then further, Bussel laments that the establishment of a Palestinian State is a fait accompli because of Western Support. In this fait accompli Israel must prepare itself far a war to remain in existence otherwise that next Holocaust will be a reality.

Here is a Comment to the NCCR Post: Comment from Tony Newbill on Birther Issues. The NCCR post is actually an intro to the SlantRight.com post of the same name. The comment was written by a person who calls himself Jimmy but it could be a pseudonym for another pseudonym known as Tony Newbill. The styles are completely similar.

Is it racist to criticize Islam?

It is a common diversion among Muslims and Muslim apologists to intimidate those critical of Islam with the accusation of “racist”. It is a ploy to manipulate shame which amounts to verbal extortion to shut someone up.

ACT for America has sent an email on this subject which includes an excerpt from Citizen Warrior that illustrates how profoundly idiotic it is to fall for a diversion away the reality of Islam. Do not fall into the trap of being called a racist when all you are interested in is finding out the reason that Islam is more violent than Western society or other religions.

America’s rich heritage of free speech and public debate is one of the hallmarks of our country’s greatness. 

But when it comes to the topic of Islam, rather than engaging in honest debate about such aspects as jihad, sharia law, treatment of “infidels,” or treatment of women, what we frequently see instead is a barrage of personal attacks intended to muzzle any and all debate.

One of the more vile is the false accusation of “racism.”  “Citizen Warrior” has posted a powerful rebuttal of this accusation (see below) which we encourage you to read and forward to everyone you know.

September 2010

Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Is Ayaan Hirsi Ali a racist? She was born in Somalia, from which she escaped to avoid an arranged marriage, and she eventually became a member of Parliament in the Netherlands.

She helped produce a film with Theo Van Gogh which criticized Islam's treatment of women. Van Gogh was shot to death by a Muslim in retaliation, and a note was pinned to his chest with a knife — a note that threatened Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

She made her way to the United States, and has since written two books critical of Islam: Infidel and Nomad: From Islam to America: A Personal Journey Through the Clash of Civilizations.

Wafa Sultan 

Is Wafa Sultan a racist? She was born and raised in Syria, and was trained as a psychiatrist.

On February 21, 2006, she took part in an Al Jazeera discussion program, arguing with the hosts about Samuel P. Huntington's Clash of Civilizations theory. A six-minute composite video of her response was widely circulated on blogs and through email. The New York Times estimated it was seen at least one million times. In the video she criticized Muslims for treating non-Muslims differently, and for not recognizing the accomplishments of Jews and other non-Muslims. The video was the most-discussed video of all time with over 260,000 comments on YouTube.

Ibn Warraq

Is Ibn Warraq a racist? Warraq was born in India to Muslim parents who migrated to Pakistan after the partitioning of British Indian Empire.

Warraq founded the Institute for the Secularisation of Islamic Society. He is a senior research fellow at the Center for Inquiry, focusing on Quranic criticism.

Warraq is the author of seven books, including Why I Am Not a Muslim and Leaving Islam. He has spoken at the United Nations "Victims of Jihad" conference organized by the International Humanist and Ethical Union alongside speakers such as Bat Ye'or, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and Simon Deng.

Topan Ghosh

Is Tapan Ghosh a racist? The president of Hindu Samhati, he speaks all over India and the United States about the ongoing Islamic invasion of West Bengal.

In an article about him, a correspondent wrote, "A life of 25 years of relentless service has strengthened the resolve of Tapan Ghosh to unite Hindu masses to fight against injustice and the oppressive attitude of the authorities in the face of ever-increasing Islamist aggression."

Ghosh said, "As someone who has suffered enormously from the Islamist onslaught in eastern India, both after the partition of India as well as the partition of erstwhile Pakistan to form Bangladesh, Islamic terrorism has deeply affected my life and the life of millions in the Indian subcontinent. The horrific events of 1971 where nearly 3 million Bengalis, mostly Hindus were exterminated by the Pakistani military regime left an everlasting impression on me. Since then, I have worked relentlessly for the service and upliftment of people reeling under the scourge of radical Islam."

Seyran Ates

Is Seyran Ates a racist? Born in Turkey of Kurdish parents, and now working as a lawyer in Germany, Ates is highly critical of an immigrant Muslim society that is often more orthodox than its counterpart in Turkey, and her criticisms have put her at risk.

Her book, "Islam Needs a Sexual Revolution," was scheduled for publication in Germany in 2009. In an interview in January 2008 on National Public Radio, Ates stated that she was in hiding and would not be working on Muslim women's behalf publicly (including in court) due to the threats against her.

Ates is the author of the article,
Human Rights Before Religion: Have we forgotten to protect women in our bid to accommodate practices carried out in the name of Islam?

Francis Piol Bol Bok

Is Francis Bok a racist? Francis Piol Bol Bok, born in Sudan, was a slave for ten years but is now an abolitionist and author living in the United States.

On May 15, 1986, Bok was captured and enslaved at age seven during an Islamic militia raid on the village of Nymlal. Slavery is a standard feature of orthodox Islam. Bok lived in bondage for ten years before escaping imprisonment in Kurdufan, followed by a journey to the United States by way of Cairo, Egypt. Read more of his story here.

Bok's autobiography, Escape from Slavery, chronicles his life from his early youth and his years in captivity, to his work in the United States as an abolitionist.

Nonie Darwish

Is Nonie Darwish a racist? Now an American, she grew up a Muslim in Egypt, the daughter of an Egyptian general whose family was part of President Nasser’s inner circle.

Darwish founded Former Muslims United with Ibn Warraq, an organization dedicated, in part, to helping Muslims reject the inherent intolerance, violence, and supremacism in their doctrine.

Darwish is the author of two books critical of Islam, Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law, and Now They Call Me Infidel: Why I Renounced Jihad for America, Israel, and the War on Terror.

And she is an outspoken critic of Sharia law.

Brigitte Gabriel

Is Brigitte Gabriel a racist? She's an Arab, born in Lebanon. Gabriel watched her country become an Islamic state. Lebanon was a Christian country and "the jewel of the Middle East" when she was young. But the Muslims in Lebanon, supported by Syria and Iran, slowly became more militant until they turned the country into a war zone.

She made her way to America only to find, to her horror, the Muslim Brotherhood here in her newly adopted country, going down the same road. She decided to warn her fellow Americans about the dire results you can expect from appeasing orthodox Muslims, so she founded ACT! for America, a grassroots organization dedicated to educating the public about Islam's prime directive.

Gabriel is the author of two books, They Must Be Stopped: Why We Must Defeat Radical Islam and How We Can Do It, and Because They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America.

Mark Gabriel

Is Mark Gabriel a racist? Born in Egypt, he became an Islamic scholar in the Muslim world's most prestigious university. Early fears by relatives that Gabriel would grow up a Christian because he had been breastfed by a Christian woman resulted in him being given a thorough Islamic education. So he grew up immersed in Islamic culture and was sent to Al Azhar school at the age of six.

By the time Gabriel was twelve years old he had memorized the Quran completely. After graduating from Al-Azhar University with a Master's degree, he was offered a position as a lecturer at the university. During his research, which involved travel to Eastern and Western countries, Gabriel became more distant from Islam, finding its history, "from its commencement to date, to be filled with violence and bloodshed without any worthwhile ideology or sense of decency. I asked myself 'What religion would condone such destruction of human life?' Based on that, I began to see that the Muslim people and their leaders were perpetrators of violence."

On hearing that Gabriel had "forsaken Islamic teachings" the authorities of Al Azhar expelled him from the University on 17 December, 1991 and asked for him to be released from the post of Imam in the mosque of Amas Ebn Malek in Giza city. The Egyptian secret police then seized Gabriel and placed him in a cell without food and water for three days, after which he was tortured and interrogated for four days before being transferred to Calipha prison in Cairo and released without charge a week later. He escaped Egypt and has since written several books, including, Islam and Terrorism.

Walid Shoebat

Is Walid Shoebat a racist? He's a Palestinian immigrant to the United States and a former PLO militant. Shoebat was born in Bethlehem, the grandson of the Mukhtar of Beit Sahour, an associate of Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. In 1993, Shoebat converted to Christianity after studying the Jewish Bible for six months in response to a challenge from his wife, initially trying to persuade her to convert to Islam.

After the September 11 attacks in 2001, Shoebat began to criticize Islam publicly. He has appeared on mainstream media around the world and has been an expert witness on a number of documentaries on orthodox Islam.

Shoebat argues that parallels exist between radical Islam and Nazism. He says, "Secular dogma like Nazism is less dangerous than Islamofascism that we see today...because Islamofascism has a religious twist to it; it says 'God the Almighty ordered you to do this'...It is trying to grow itself in fifty-five Muslim states. So potentially, you could have a success rate of several Nazi Germanys, if these people get their way."

Simon Deng

Is Simon Deng a racist? He was born in southern Sudan. His village of Tonga was a peaceful farming community, despite frequent raids by the Islamic Sudanese army where they burned huts and scattered livestock. "One of the first things I was told as a child — if the Arab men come, just run for your life," Deng recalls. The history of Arab colonization of Africa is one of Islamization, wholesale slave trading, and genocide. One day the Muslims came, and Deng was captured and enslaved.

At the age of 12, he noticed a man from his village due to the man's "shilluk" — a series of raised welts across the forehead. It's a tribal marking Deng has also. The man summoned a distant relative of Deng's who happened to be nearby. With his kinsman's help, the boy was able to escape.

Having escaped slavery and emigrated to the United States, Deng travels the country addressing audiences which range from the United Nations to middle school students. His speeches focus on education and the anti-slavery movement. Deng is now a warner of the horrors of unchecked Islam and Sharia. "I was victimized in the name of Islam," he says.

Professor Babu Suseelan

Is Babu Suseelan a racist? Born in India, Professor Babu Suseelan is a Hindu leader, a human rights activist, a university professor, and a psychologist. He is also the Director of Indian American Intellectuals Forum, New York.

Suseelan is the author of several published articles on jihadi terrorism and cognitive psychology. He has been an invited speaker at international conferences on Islamic militancy.

He speaks around the world, trying to educate people about orthodox Islam and the danger it poses to the free world.

Walid Phares

Is Walid Phares a racist? Phares was born in Lebanon, where he earned degrees in law, political science and sociology. He then earned a Master's degree in International Law from the Université de Lyon in France and a Ph.D. in international relations and strategic studies from the University of Miami. He emigrated to the United States in 1990.

Phares has testified before committees of the U.S. State, Justice, Defense and Homeland Security Departments, the United States Congress, the European Parliament, the United Nations Security Council.

His writings expose the political nature embedded in Islamic doctrine, and seeks to find solutions to the problems that presents the West. His books include, The Confrontation: Winning the War against Future Jihad, and The War of Ideas: Jihadism against Democracy.

Zeyno Baran

Is Zeyno Baran a racist? Baran is a Turkish-American scholar and Director of the Center for Eurasian Policy.

One of Baran's key areas of specialization is countering the spread of radical Turkish Islamist ideology in Europe and Eurasia.

Baran has criticized European and American governments for working too closely with groups or individuals that espouse an Islamist ideology. She argues that such engagement actually works against U.S. and European interests.

Baran recently wrote an article for The Weekly Standard on this very subject. In it, she advocates a kind of "litmus test" for deciding who and what type of Muslim groups the U.S. government should engage with. Baran argues that "the deciding factor must be ideology: Is the group Islamist or not?" She believes that the Muslim Brotherhood, Hizbullah, and Hizb ut-Tahrir fail her test.

M. Zuhdi Jasser

Is M. Zuhdi Jasser a racist? He's the President and Founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy. A devout Muslim, Jasser founded AIFD in the wake of the 9/11 attacks on the United States as an effort to provide an American Muslim voice advocating for the preservation of the founding principles of the United States Constitution, liberty and freedom, and the separation of mosque and state.

A former Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy, Jasser served 11 years as a medical officer. He is a nationally recognized expert in the contest of ideas against Political Islam and American Islamist organizations. On October 1, 2009, Jasser briefed members of Congress on the threat of Political Islam. He regularly briefs members of the House and Senate congressional anti-terror caucuses.

Magdi Cristiano Allam

Is Magdi Allam a racist? Allam was born in Egypt and raised by Muslim parents. His mother Safeya was a believing and practicing Muslim, whereas his father Muhammad was "completely secular." He became a journalist and outspoken critic of "Islamic extremism."

In 2005, Allam published an article calling for a ban on building mosques in Italy. In a piece accusing mosques of fostering hate, he claimed Italy is suffering from "mosque-mania."

In a public letter to the editor, Allam stated that Islam was inseparable from Islamic extremism. Criticising Islam itself, rather than Islamic extremism, Allam argued: "I asked myself how it was possible that those who, like me, sincerely and boldly called for a 'moderate Islam,' assuming the responsibility of exposing themselves in the first person in denouncing Islamic extremism and terrorism, ended up being sentenced to death in the name of Islam on the basis of the Quran. I was forced to see that, beyond the contingency of the phenomenon of Islamic extremism and terrorism that has appeared on a global level, the root of evil is inherent in an Islam that is physiologically violent and historically conflictive."

Farshad Kholghi

Is Farshad Kholghi a racist? Born in Iran, he remembers the time before the Islamic Revolution, when Shah Reza Palahvi reigned supreme and the country was on a staunch Western direction, with extensive developments in infrastructure, industry, education, and health care.

Farshad Kholghi is a well known figure from public debates in Denmark. As is the case for most everyone debating Islam, he has been accused of racism (which, given his ethnicity, is ironic), and of presenting "right-wing" political views. Farshad rhetorically inquired: "Is it 'right-wing' to stand for womens' rights? Is it 'right-wing' to criticize religion? Is it 'right-wing' to defend freedom of expression? Is it 'right-wing' to defend the right of the individual over that of the ideology? If so, then yes, I present right-wing political views."

Farshad strongly encourages participating in public debate, to not fear religious fanaticism, but rather to ridicule them and their abuse of power through the application of the best of Western values, including open discussion, scrutiny of Islamic organizations and the healthy tradition of satire and ridicule of hypocritical, corrupt and exploitative religious leaders.

Bassam Tibi

Is Bassam Tibi a racist? Born in Syria, Tibi is now a German citizen. He is a Muslim and a political scientist and Professor of International Relations. Tibi is a staunch critic of Islamism and an advocate of reforming Islam itself. In academia, he is known for his analysis of international relations and the introduction of Islam to the study of international conflict and of civilization.

Tibi had eighteen visiting professorships in all continents. Tibi was visiting senior fellow at Yale University when he retired in 2009. The same year, he published his life's work, a book entitled, Islam's Predicament with Cultural Modernity.

Khaled Abu Toameh

Is Khaled Abu Toameh a racist? Toameh was born in the West Bank in 1963 to an Israeli Arab father and a Palestinian Arab mother. He received his BA in English Literature from the Hebrew University and lives in Jerusalem with his wife and three children.

Toameh was formerly a senior reporter for The Jerusalem Report, and a correspondent for Al-Fajr, which he describes as a mouthpiece for the PLO. He has produced several documentaries on the Palestinians for the BBC, Channel 4, Australian, Danish and Swedish TV, including ones that exposed the connection between Arafat and payments to the armed wing of Fatah, as well as the financial corruption within the Palestinian Authority.

He was the first journalist to report about the sex scandal that rocked the Palestinian Authority in early 2010 and which led to the firing of Rafiq Husseini, Chief of Staff for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The scandal was revealed by former Palestinian intelligence official Fahmi Shabaneh in an exclusive interview with Toameh in The Jerusalem Post. One of Toameh's more famous articles is,
Where Are the Voices of "Moderate" Muslims?

Tawfik Hamid

Is Tawfik Hamid a racist? He was born in Egypt and became a member of the militant Islamic organization, al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya. After a change of heart, Hamid started to preach in mosques to promote a message of peace, which made him a target of Islamic militants who threatened his life. Hamid then migrated to the West where he has lectured at UCLA, Stanford University, University of Miami and Georgetown University against Islamic fundamentalism.

In a 2009 Wall Street Journal article, Hamid said that Islam should prove it's a religion of peace, and called Islamic scholars and clerics, "to produce a Shariah book that will be accepted in the Islamic world and that teaches that Jews are not pigs and monkeys, that declaring war to spread Islam is unacceptable, and that killing apostates is a crime."

Hamid has written opinion pieces for The Wall Street Journal, including Islam Needs To Prove It's A Religion Of Peace, How to End Islamophobia and The Trouble with Islam.

This list of prominent criticizers of Islam could go on indefinitely. If you think criticizing Islam is racist, can you tell me exactly what race they are all criticizing? Of course not. Calling criticism of Islam "racist" is a manipulative, underhanded slander. The accurate name is "critic." All the people above are engaged in religious criticism, criticism of an ideology, and political commentary, all of which are desirable, necessary, vital components of a free society.

Some people who criticize Islam are racists. That does not mean criticizing Islam is racism. It's also true that some people who criticize Islam are socialists, but it would be foolish to say criticizing Islam is socialism.

Islam is not a race. There are Muslims of every race. The largest Muslim country is Indonesia. There are more non-Arab Muslims than Arab Muslims. Criticism of Islam is not racism.

Most people trying to silence criticism of Islam know full well Islam is not a race. But the slander is effective in the free world. The mere implication can ruin a political career or get someone fired. So while it's not true — and most people saying it know it's not true — it is an effective weapon of censorship nonetheless.

I hope this list, once and for all, will make anyone who says "criticizing Islam is racist" look ridiculous. I hope this removes that absurd slur from public conversation forevermore. Am I hoping for too much? Every time you read or hear anyone using "racism" to silence criticism of Islam, respond with this list and see what happens.

The Palestinian Wall of Lies

Islamic terrorism is here in America on an organized level. This is beyond sleeper cells of Islamic terrorists. This open hatred of Jews and Israel being preached at American college campuses inculcating lies related to Arabs that call themselves Palestinians and Israel which is the homeland of Jews promised by God to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (renamed by God to Israel).

Below are two videos that highlight those lies that are being promulgated by Muslim Brotherhood front groups in America yet with a focus of the terrorist organization Hamas.

Discourse on the Reality of God

Doubting Thomas. Caravaggio 1602-1603

Between My Son and John R. Houk
April 28, 2011

There has been an ongoing dialogue between my son Steven and I. Below is latest that I have responded. The discussion has been ongoing on my Facebook page that was highlighting the SlantRight post of “Go See ‘Atlas Shrugged’ the Movie”.

On Facebook others have been involved in the conversation. Some of those conversant on the Facebook discussion have had insight that I agree with and disagree with. Since Steven is my son I will focus on him.

I should note that Steven is very adamant in his atheism and has a difficult time letting loose of a dialogue which I sense is due to a desire to be right and everyone else wrong. When things get repetitive I will simply and unilaterally quit responding.
***************************************

My Son SAYS: “You're saying that god transcends evidence, science, reason, critical thinking, etc. The list goes on. I can understand that you have faith that god exists but let's not put god in a conversation involving the things I just mentioned.”

JOHN SAYS: Why? God is existence.

My Son SAYS: “The only reason you aren't locked up in a mad house for your beliefs is that a lot of people are delusional.”

JOHN SAYS: LOL Steven you are dipping a little into the old ad hominem well are you not? God says the delusion is on the part of those who can see the marvel of creation and yet deny God’s involvement. Romans 1: 18-25 NKJV (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%201:%2018-25&version=NKJV)

My Son SAYS: “God is not involved in this reality at all.”

JOHN SAYS: Reality is more than the five senses of observation. It is delusional not to know so.

My Son SAYS: “Can you provide one shred of evidence for his existence? If not, keep fairy tales in conversations about fairy tales and stop inter tangling god with pseudo science.”

JOHN SAYS: Can you provide one shred of evidence that God does not exist objectively? I can prove pages of evidence God exists subjectively via faith. Even in objectivity there is the admission of an existence that cannot be observed or measured and yet utilizing theorems in logic it is stipulated that such and such must exist. It is all a matter of faith in assumptions in such science. Still that which is speculated objectively under your thinking would thus be a fairy tale. Ergo the Theory of Evolution is a fairy tale. The quantum minutias that logically declare that there exists some sort of particles that even have been named exist because logic is the evidence and yet said particles that are unobservable and immeasurable are said to exist. Under your thought that which is said to exist but cannot be observed or measured is a fairy tale.

Hmm … Delusion is a matter of opinion whether objectivity or subjectivity is used.

My Son SAYS: "First of all, god didn't say that in Romans, Paul did."

JOHN SAYS: Steven that is your delusion. The reality is Paul spoke under the inspiration that immeasurable person who is the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit inspired then God said it.

My Son SAYS: "Second, I don't have to provide evidence that god doesn't exist. I'm not making the absurd claim he/she/it does, you are."

JOHN SAYS: Silly Steven, you are saying that God doesn’t exist and it is absurd to stipulate that God does exist; ergo I have to prove God exists because I believe God exists but you don’t have to prove God does not exist because I believe God does exist. You have to know that is a bunch of hypocritical hyperbole attempting to tell me you don’t have to prove what you know but I have to prove what I know. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. You cannot deem I have to follow parameters just because you say so and not apply the same parameters to yourself. That is just despotic idiocy.

My Son SAYS: "Tertiary, Faith does not equate to evidence in any way and you know that's not an equitable way to provide for such evidence."

JOHN SAYS: You say faith “does not equate to evidence”. That statement is only true if subjectivity has no value as evidence. You know that cannot be true  for as I mentioned, objective logic conjectures a subjective answer based on the belief that a supposition viewed as fact built on another supposition hence believed as fact and so on until subjectively an answer must be true because somewhere along the supposition trail an objective observation is assumed but not actually observed built upon a subjective fact ergo subjective conjecture is miraculously translated into an objective conclusion (e.g. theory of evolution or quantum theories of existence).

So no, I do not know that is not an equitable way to provide for such evidence.

My Son SAYS: "Doesn't it strike you as strange that you don't often see a Muslim saying he say (sic) Vishnu appear in his dreams and told him to convert. And you never see a Christian have a near death experience and Zeus has appeared before [to] them encouraging their worship. That's because belief is local to the brain, physical location and culture. Faith and personal experiences, therefore, cannot be used as proof for existence."

JOHN SAYS: Now the psychology of the brain is actually a decent anthropological argument. Nonetheless physical location and culture is miraculously ignored by Hindus and Muslims when there is freedom to listen to the Good News of Christ’s Redemption and Hinduism, Islam or Animism is abandoned for a life of Christ. The continent in which Christianity is growing in leaps and bounds demonstrate the fallibility of location and culture is Africa (http://www.firstthings.com/onthesquare/2011/02/christian-number-crunching).

Long Form B-Certificate Released – What About Cryptic Academic Records?

Obama Long Form B-Cert. lg

John R. Houk
© April 27, 2011

Thanks to Donald Trump and the constant updates from my Conspiracy Theory guy Tony Newbill I was actually paying attention when I heard that President Barack Hussein Obama released what has been called the long form of his Hawaiian birth certificate.

Unless this long form version of the Obama birth certificate proves to be something put together recently by simply printing a form with updated info, it definitely shows Obama was born in Hawaii. Also the birth certificate does not have any suspicious surprise information such as another father’s name different Barack Hussein Obama Senior.

Again, if the long form is authenticated as being the original from 1961, the Birthers will to switch their strategy. There is still strategy by the way, but it is not related to the location of President BHO’s birth.

That strategy is to ask: Why BHO spent millions of dollars to keep the original long form out of public hands? Another strategy is to pursue President BHO on releasing the rest of his academic records which he has with equal vigor prevented from the public eye.

President BHO’s initial reasoning for finally reasoning seems lame to me.

"I know that there’s going to be a segment of people for which, no matter what we put out, this issue will not be put to rest," Obama told reporters from the White House podium. "We don't have time for this kind of silliness. We have better stuff to do. I have better stuff to do."

"We've got some enormous challenges out there," the president added, imploring the nation not to "get distracted by sideshows and carnival barkers." (Attributed to President BHO from The Raw Story)

Even if some die-hard Birther asserts the long form birth certificate is a forgery really has become irrelevant to the 2012 campaign for President. When Obama says, "I know that there’s going to be a segment of people for which, no matter what we put out, this issue will not be put to rest". In saying this BHO has brilliantly rendered any challenge to the validity of the long form as the hocus pocus of fringe Right Wingers.

When Obama says, “We don't have time for this kind of silliness. We have better stuff to do. I have better stuff to do.” He is saying those loony Right Wingers care more about an easily countered long shot more than the real issues of the economy, budget deficit, taxation, debt ceiling or any other usually Conservative issue which concerns Conservative Americans and American voters.

Nonetheless, if the Birthers transform their moniker agenda to the Documenters seeking the release of other Obama secrets that Presidents in the past have had no problem releasing as transparency to their past, then I think there can still be an issue of crippling Obama’s reputation to the American voters. Just as Obama had refused to release his long form birth certificate so also has he been cryptic about other documents that should be transparent to the public. This is particularly the case of his hidden academic records.

What was the reason for spending millions of dollars in legal fees to counter challenges to releasing his original birth records? Is the same cryptic nefarious hiding of school records the answer for his academic records?

Could Donald Trump’s high profile chiding to get the long form birth certificate release gain steam to do the same thing with Obama’s academic records?

For the guy who campaigned for transparency in 2008 there seems to be a lot of darkness, don’t you think?

A Turkish Flotilla - In Reverse

Terrorist Flotilla - Turkey to Gaza

Leslie J. Sacks points out the Turkish hypocrisy when it comes to civil and human rights. Turkey is preparing to send another flotilla of – choke – freedom to the Gaza Strip. The last terrorist – err – I mean freedom flotilla that was more a terrorist set up to attack the boarding Israeli Navy checking for smuggled weapons.

As Sacks notes Israel bends over backward with aid for daily life circumstances such as: food, electricity and medical needs. This is more than what Turkey has done to Armenians and Kurds which have both experienced ethnic cleansing at the hands of the Turks.

Comment from Tony Newbill on Birther Issues

Obama-I-Tried-and-Lied-

Tony Newbill sent some info about the Birther issues as it relates to both President Obama and Senator McCain. For the life of me I could not find the post so I am guessing I haven’t posted it yet. This is important because Newbill left a comment through the SlantRight.com Comment Section relating to McCain’s eligibility. When I receive a comment there I like to attempt to attach the comment to a post. If I haven’t made the post yet, well, you see the problem. The thing with Tony’s emails I might get to the information later and post it anyway. So keep that in mind as you read this comment.

Comment:

John go read this First LINK, it’s a Law Review done by University of Arizona Law department on McCain not being eligible for POTUS and released after he would have been picked as the Republican candidate. So there seems to be some possibility of that Timing being a way to threaten McCain and the Republicans to shut up about Obama’s Eligibility.

This is a Powder keg of fraud and deception. We the people need a FULL Investigation!!! This first link says McCain is ineligible to be POTUS.


So this Liberal Law Review deemed McCain ineligible.

Then Congress ratified McCain's eligibility with Senate Resolution 511:


This left themselves [i.e. Republicans] a way to wiggle out if the TRUTH came out  with a simple word of "assumption" when the Federal Judge, Secretary Cherthoff stated as McCain's qualification he said he assumed McCain was Eligible for POTUS, EVEN with this Law review out there:


The question now becomes: Did they the Democratic Senate led by Senate Resolution 511, set up McCain to keep him from Demanding Obama to prove his eligibility? This is why Barack Obama is NOT a Natural Born Citizen as required by the U.S. Constitution to be President!


Notre Dame Professor Charles Rice: Obama's eligibility could be biggest political fraud in the history of the world; time for a new approach.

HAWAII DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH MAKES UP THE RULES AS IT GOES ALONG - TO PRISON?


Integrity and Attribution: Obama's Foreign Contribution and Campaign Finance Fraud, The Timeline, The Facts, The Work.


There is a good chance that a lot of the Foreign bailout cash that the federal Reserve gave out starting in 2007 could have made its way into Obama's 2008 Foreign Contributions campaign Finance Fraud. We the people need to DEMAND a Full Investigation and Audit of the Federal Reserve to trace these funds and find out if these bailout funds did go into Obama's Hands!!!! NINE TRILLION Dollars Missing from Federal Reserve, Fed Inspector General Can't Explain:




Alan Grayson: "Which Foreigners Got the Fed's $500,000,000,000?"

Bernanke: "I Don't Know."




Hank Paulson made 200 million off TARP bailout:


Bernanke won't tell the truth here:




Why did the DNC do this cover-up on states ratifying Obama as eligible for POTUS when it has not been done this way in the past??? The Theory is now: A Conspiracy AND Facts Don't Lie - The Mistake, The Evidence, and Obama is NOT a constitutional president:


The Theory is now a Conspiracy – III DNC Failed to Certify Obama as Eligible in MOST States!
