<br> Connie, you have long been a courageous advocate for truth. I admire you<br>and I wish I could share your optimism.<br><br> On his third day in office, Obama sent drones to launch missiles that killed<br>14 Pakistani civilians in violation of the Nuremberg Principles, the UN Charter,<br>and thus Article 6 of the US Constitution. Maybe this was "making his bones" <br>and maybe it was a head-fake to protect his admirable intentions.

<div><br></div>The "Prize" is more proof that the propaganda machine is a
global operation. Put him up on a global peace pedestal and people will
ignore his actions. Orwell continues to be right. War = Peace in
today's society. Lets look at some of Barack's peaceful
accomplishments:<br><br>- Continue to wage a never-ending war for oil and land
and contracts and resources in Iraq while calling it a 'withdrawal'. <br>-
Step up the troop level and killing of civilians and "terrorists" in
Afghanistan while taking control of as much of the opium trade as
possible<br>- Order tons of illegal drone strikes in Pakistan<br>- Quietly
order and carry out a coup of the leadership in Honduras. Ignore that
the citizens of that country are living in a nightmare scenario of martial
law <br>- Continue torturing prisoners abroad and suppress photographs
that show abuse and make sure no one involved in torture in the past ever gets
held accountable<br>- Help your Big pharma buddies to make a killing off the
swine flu while helping to spread the disease further through the already
proven to be dangerous nasal vaccines.<br>- Make constant threats to Iran
while carrying out military drills that prepare your troops for a possible war
there<br>- Refuse to meet with the Dali Lama because you don't want to upset
China<br>- Quietly conduct military operations in Somalia<br>- Bail out
the rich cause they need it while the unemployment rate goes up and up and
up<br><br>I have to disagree about hope. Hope is a paralyzing and
passive emotion. They want you to sit on your but and "hope" while they
continue to steal and murder. My advice is to ditch all of your hope and
instead do something about whatever you are "hoping" on. Because hope is
completely disempowering. You are letting go of your ability to affect
the world in a real and active way and putting all your "hopes" in the hands
of the ruling elite who do not give 2 sticks of butter about you except to the
extent that they can use and abuse you. <br><br>Actions speak louder
then words and peace prizes. <br><br><br> <br>

<br> Obama lost me when he voted for the telecom wiretap immunity
bill <br>after promising that he would filibuster to oppose it. He never
explained <br>why he voted for it. He was a constitutional scholar and
he understood <br>the issues, and he was a lawyer who understood that the bill
would stop<br>the 50 pending lawsuits' discovery process that would have
revealed the <br>depth and breadth of the wiretap violations.<br><br> I
would like to believe that he's a good guy who will at some dramatic<br>point
whip off his Bush-lite mask and show us who he really is, but I<br>already
went through that process with Kerry. Through the whole<br>Ohio recount
process in 2004 I kept telling everybody--"You just watch,<br>the Democrats
know what they're doing. This is a trap for Bush." I
was<br>wrong.<br><br> From 2006 to 2008 the Dems told us "We must
appease and concentrate <br>on winning the next election." So now that
it's won, we must keep on<br>appeasing? On his third day in office Obama
declared his contempt for <br>international law, the Nuremberg Principles, the
UN, and simple human<br>decency by ordering drone missile attacks on Pakistan
that killed 14<br>civilians. He's a war
criminal.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> <br><br><br>> From:
