George W. Obama
By Peter Gemma for Campaign for Liberty

The Oct. 18, 2009 New York Times Magazine
takes a look at the
current commander of US and NATO forces in Afghanistan General Stanley
McChrystal's Afghanistan war recommendation and notes the "magnitude of
the choice" now facing President Obama "is difficult to overstate."
"For
what McChrystal is proposing is not a temporary, Iraq-style surge -- a
rapid influx of American troops followed by a withdrawal. McChrystal's
plan is a blueprint for an extensive American commitment to build a
modern state in Afghanistan, where one has never existed, and to bring
order to a place famous for the empires it has exhausted. Even under
the best of circumstances, this effort would most likely last many more
years, cost hundreds of billions of dollars and entail the deaths of
many more American women and men."
"And that's if it succeeds."
That's
where we started with President George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq. Now
President Obama and his new administration stumbles and bumbles along
the same path. Instead of hearing "mission accomplished," I suspect we
will be fed a lot of patriotic-sounding hope speeches. And, after all,
to a man with a Nobel Peace Prize war-mongering by can be an
intoxicating power.
This is why the Campaign for Liberty's
agenda is so important. A non-interventionist policy is attracting a
transpartisan coalition that's re-defining foreign policy. We're still
not there yet - thanks to people like Joe Lieberman and Lindsey Graham
- but our movement is younger, has more creative policy ideas, and
holds to lasting ideals based on the Constitution. We've got the
military-industrial complex on the defensive.

Nobel Peace Prize for Obama?
Dear Sirs and Madams of the Nobel Committee,
It used to mean
something when the Nobel Peace Prize was given. In this
day and age, all good things must come to an end.
President Barack Obama, whilst he has great rhetoric, has done little (actually nothing) for peace.
As a U.S. Senator, he voted to continue the funding of the Iraq war at EVERY opportunity. In late September 2009, the world saw him on TV ganging up with the Axis of Asses against Iran, as if Iran had violated some sort of Nuclear Treaty.
The fact is that Iran is in line with all IAEA regulations and reported their plans to build a new nuclear facility to the IAEA voluntarily., Our supposed best friend, Israel, has more nuclear weapons (unlike Iran who is building power plants) than have never been counted and Isael NEVER signed onto IAEA non proliferation agreements. Israel has WMD, illegally! Yet, the Obama Administration is kissing Israel's ass like a gay porn star, just like all previous administrations with a wink and a nod.
There is NOTHING peaceful about Israel with U.S. support and the continued U.N veto power exercised when Israel deserves condemnation for it's terrible actions against humanity. There is nothing peaceful about Barack Obama's foreign policy thus far, as the U.S. is ramping up the war machine in the Middle East to supposedly stop terrorism and protect Israel. Sure, a few soldiers have left Iraq only to be replaced by private contractors with machine guns, while the soldiers get a short rest at home only to be redeployed to other countries to go to war for what? War, not peace.
The fact is that the U.S. is dropping bombs on Obama's watch. Your prize is a joke.
Perhaps your judges are smoking some of that California cannabis that confuses hype with hope. Next time, perhaps you could pick someone who actually votes against wars before they are launched and votes against all funding to continue them. How about Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich?
Regards,
The Scoop!

HOW TO SMASH THE WAR RACKET
In Government and
especially in
Washington DC, friendships between politicians and those who lobby
them are more important than actually reading the text of pending
legislation and
understanding the laws being passed or opposed.. The work that
gets done in
Washington is that which special interests have lobbied for. This is Crony Capitalism at it's finest, for the well
connected. Crony Capitalism is what we, the taxpayers,
have representing us today no matter if these scoundrels in office are
on the Left or on the
Right sides of the political isle. True
capitalism must be restored in this
country and the faux Crony Capitalism must be stopped now and for good.
Don't just blame it on the politicians, special business interests and let us not forget the ill-informed Americans who vote these clowns into office. The media is to blame as well. In terms of the Iraq War, for instance, nearly all of the main news companies in TV and Print took this nation to war without displaying the constitutional implications for the public to think about. Many American people, to this day, still think Saddam Hussein had something to do with the events on September 11 2001 in New York City. The truth is that it is known that Saddam and Iraq had ZERO to do with it.
One voice in the media, Phil Donahue on MSNBC, who in 2003 attempted to question and scrutinize the plans to launch a U.S. led war against Iraq on his TV show and achieved high ratings for it, was gotten rid of. In the month of Feb 2003 when he was fired, he averaged 446,000 viewers and became the highest rated show on the networks only to be out of a job so NBC could read the talking point memos from Washington without static.
The few and rare lone voices of dissent in Congress like Republican Ron Paul, and Democrat Dennis Kucinich were treated as outcasts and kooks and nationwide, people in across the country who attempted to speak of The Constitution were quickly deemed wing nuts and sympathizers of terrorists, thanks to the main media.
Those who were focused on root causes of why the U.S. was attacked and who were not too proud to try to make this country look in the mirror at our own foreign policy misdeeds that may have contributed to the hate we may have created by foul policy, were treated like unpatriotic traitors.
The fact is that this country is a torturer. This country is a preemptive invader. This country is an occupier. We have killed over one million Iraqi's alone, since the invasion began. This country does it all at the great benefit of certain special interests that are not only corporate. That is The Scoop!
Now in hindsight, only the blatantly ignorant don't know the invasion of Iraq was a mistake, yet few are questioning the rationale of expanding war operations worldwide as the Military Industrial Complex' grip on Washington has been gaining strength, contrary to what Obama voters "think" his Administration and Congress are actually doing. Unfortunately, they don't know Congress is still spending away militarily and the voters aren't privy to the fact that our vast military empire across the world costs One Trillion Dollars per year to maintain.
Few are willing or want to ask, "doesn't our presence on other peoples countries intimidate their neighbors into wanting better weapons?" Yet, we want to attack a country as soon as they are ready to posture to counter our posturing. The U.S. seems to do much threatening and much escalating/ We are the bullies. A vast majority of the time we should just shut the hell up and go home. The world would become a much better place. Do what The Constitution prescribed. No entangling alliances, make friends and trade with people.
Who are the real terrorists? Could they be the politicians and the media that participate in the fear mongering that lead nations into war against others? Could it be politicians who attempt to diminish other foreign leaders through slander over and over to eventually be able to morally justify for a coup? A coup for who? Like I said, what we have in America is Crony Capitalism. Want to end the war racket? Politicians who are part of the racket simply need to be voted out and replaced with uncorrupted candiates like Ron Paul in the Republican Party and Dennis Kucinich in the Democratic Party. Those like Israel's puppets Joe Lieberman & Nancy Pelosi, Military Industrial puppets like Diane Feinstein and Lindsey Graham need to be put out to pasture. That is how to smash the war racket. It could be argued that each war since W.W.II has been part of schemes for crony capitalistic gain, using elected leaders in Washington to make it happen. Just ask Halliburton, Blackwater and any military company, or better yet, listen to Smedley Butler.
War is a Racket by Smedley Butler is a famous speech denouncing the military industrial complex. This anti-war speech by two-time Congressional Medal of Honor recipient exposes war profits that benefit few at the expense of many. Throughout his distinguished career in the Marines, Smedley Darlington Butler demonstrated that true patriotism does not mean blind allegiance to government policies with which one does not agree. To Hell with war.
