Obama’s AMA speech names the right suspects

By Yael T. Abouhalkah, Kansas City Star Editorial Page columnist

President Barack Obama speech to the American Medical Association Monday
hit the right spots.

U.S. health care is too bureaucratic, too expensive and too ineffective.

He listed the usual suspects, such as doctors who feel they have to order
unneeded tests to protect themselves from malpractice lawsuits.

But Obama highlighted an aspect of health care that’s finally getting more
coverage: It’s time for Americans to take more responsibility for our own
health.

The money quotes from Obama’s speech Monday:

"The second step that we can all agree on is to invest more in preventive
care so that we can avoid illness and disease in the first place. That
starts with each of us taking more responsibility for our health and the
health of our children. It means quitting smoking, going in for that
mammogram or colon cancer screening. It means going for a run or hitting
the gym, and raising our children to step away from the video games and
spend more time playing outside.

"It also means cutting down on all the junk food that is fueling an
epidemic of obesity, putting far too many Americans, young and old, at
greater risk of costly, chronic conditions. That’s a lesson Michelle and I
have tried to instill in our daughters with the White House vegetable
garden that Michelle planted. And that’s a lesson that we should work with
local school districts to incorporate into their school lunch programs."

I’m in Canada, so I can advocate that someone shoot that SOB!  Someone
shoot that SOB!

He wants to increase the percentage of bunk weed!  Someone shoot that
SOB!

The fact is that THC is good for you, and kills cancer tumors.
Someone shoot that SOB!

The less THC in the weed, the more people have to smoke to get the
medicinal effects… so more THC in weed actually reduces harm.
Someone shoot that SOB!

Looks like he is a shill for big pharma:

"He also has campaigned on local concerns like nuclear waste removal,
a Veterans Affairs hospital slated to lose most of its inpatient
treatment programs, the future of the Great Lakes Naval Training
Center, and the many pharmaceutical and health industry companies in
district."

A new batch of transcripts has been released, detailing how the Bush
Administration’s torture programs failed.

The case involves KSM (Khalid Sheikh Mohammed).
This terrorist was downright PROUD to brag to the CIA about his
activites…. until they started torturing him.

The transcripts show that he then began making up stories to tell the agents
to get them to stop.
After he’d give them a story, they’d torture him for a little while longer –
just for fun – and then send him back to his cell.
Later, when they discovered that he told them lies – they tortured him some
more, to punish him for lying.

The case of KSM was often cited by Richard Cheney as proof that his secret
torture programs worked.
Herr Cheney stopped making such specific claims when eye-witnesses to the
torture testified before congress.

Now, the disgraced former politician has retreated to a fall-back position –
attacking the media for telling the true story.

In a related story, the Republican terrorist leader, Scott Roeder,  who
murdered a doctor at church remains in custody, awaiting prosecution.

I can’t get too excited about the denial of civil rights to gays who
want to serve in the US military.  Anyone signing up right now, is
signing up for the war in Afghanistan or Iraq — both illegal
aggressive wars. Anyone participating is a guilty of a capital war
crime.

I am not all that interested in the rights of war criminals. I would
just as soon they were all lined up and shot before they got a chance
to hurt anyone.

Much more important is the right to marry, and spousal rights.

An Open Letter to President Obama From the Free Gaza Movement

3 June 2009

Dear President Obama,

Tomorrow you travel to Egypt to give one of the most important speeches
of your presidency. With the words you deliver you have said that you
want to “reset” U.S. relations with the Muslim world and create a
fundamental change for the better. We sincerely wish you well. But you
have also said that “part of being a good friend is being honest.” Let’s
be honest.

Israel’s ongoing occupation and colonization of Palestinian land and the
United States’ unquestioned financial, military and political support
for Israel is at the heart of the negative perceptions and bitter anger
that many Arabs and Muslims have of the United States. Tomorrow, we hope
to hear from you a commitment to aligning U.S. policy in the Middle East
with U.N. Resolutions and international law.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights gives everyone the right to
freely enter and exit one’s own country. You will exercise this right
when you arrive in Egypt tomorrow and then return to the United States.
This is a right that Palestinians–particularly those trapped in
Gaza–are routinely denied.

* Over 200 Palestinian medical patients in Gaza, many critically ill,
are unable to seek adequate treatment because Israeli authorities
regularly deny Palestinian patients the right to travel abroad to
receive the medical treatment that is not available in Gaza; at the same
time import of many medicines and medical equipment into Gaza is
prevented by Israel.

* Over 700 Palestinian students in Gaza, many with scholarships, are
unable to attend their universities abroad because Israel regularly
denies them this right.

* Thousands of Palestinians abroad are unable to visit their families
because Israel will not allow them to re-enter their own country.

When you arrive in Egypt you will travel to your accommodations in a car
maintained with spare parts banned to Palestinians, powered by gasoline
denied to the people of Gaza. You will use electric lights that do not
often work in Gaza, because Israel blocks the fuel needed to run Gaza’s
electrical grid. You may enjoy a cup of coffee or tea during your visit
– commodities Israel will not allow into Gaza.

The truth is that Israel lets in less than 20% of the ordinary supplies
needed in Gaza, and allows no reconstruction materials whatsoever to
enter. As a consequence over 95% of all industries have collapsed,
creating massive unemployment and poverty. The purpose of the Israeli
blockade is to punish and break an entire people. Collective punishment
is strictly prohibited under international law, yet it remains Israel’s
primary policy in regards to the Palestinian people.

On June 25th, the Free Gaza Movement sets sail on our eighth voyage to
challenge the brutal Israeli blockade of Gaza. Though we have been
threatened and our ships rammed by the Israeli navy, we will not be
deterred. We sail in the spirit of the Freedom Riders who, in the year
you were born, risked their lives so that African-Americans could travel
freely in the United States. We sail in the spirit of international
cooperation that helped create the United Nations, in the spirit of the
international civil resistance that overcame Apartheid.

President Obama, you have based your political career on what you call
the “audacity of hope” – the faith that each of us, individually and
collectively, can change things for the better. But faith without action
is dead. We too believe in hope, but from our experience we know that
hope alone will not change the world. Like you, we know that the price
and promise of our mutual humanity demands that each of us treat one
another with dignity and respect, and that all of us strive to insure
that our sisters and brothers around the world are free to make of their
lives what they will, and pursue their full measure of happiness.

Mister President, you led the fight in the U.S. Senate to insure that
aid was actually delivered to people after Hurricane Katrina devastated
New Orleans. A man-made disaster continues to devastate the people of
Gaza; due to Israel’s ongoing hermetic closure of the Gaza Strip over
80% of the population there require food assistance just in order to
survive. We hope your speech tomorrow in Egypt is successful but, at a
minimum, you must use your privilege to demand and secure open access to
Gaza for all international humanitarian, reconstruction, and
developmental supplies. Words matter, but words are not enough.

We in the Free Gaza Movement will sail to Gaza again and again and
again, in vigorous unarmed resistance, until the Israeli blockade is
forever shattered and the Palestinian people have free access to the
rest of the world.

Please recognize that the fact that we even have to ask (let alone risk
our lives) to be allowed to provide food to the hungry, medicine to the
sick, and shelter to the homeless is in itself an obscenity. We look
forward to hearing from you an uncompromising commitment for the
immediate end of the criminal siege of Gaza, as well as an assurance
that respect for the human rights, dignity and equality of the
Palestinian people will be at the core of your administration’s policy
toward the Israeli-Arab conflict.

Sincerely Yours,
The Free Gaza Movement Board of Directors

NASA’s Latest Discovery: Sun Heats the Earth
Otis A. Glazebrook IV
Robert Calahan at NASA’s Goddard Space Center could be in big trouble —
for telling the truth. Here is a headline for an article in the Daily
Tech:

    "NASA Study Acknowledges Solar Cycle, Not Man, Responsible for Past
Warming"

Here are some excerpts from the piece:

    A study from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt,
Maryland looking at climate data over the past century has concluded
that solar variation has made a significant impact on the Earth’s
climate.  The report concludes that evidence for climate changes based
on solar radiation can be traced back as far as the Industrial
Revolution.

    Past research has shown that the sun goes through eleven year
cycles.  At the cycle’s peak, solar activity occurring near sunspots is
particularly intense, basking the Earth in solar heat.  According to
Robert Cahalan, a climatologist at the Goddard Space Flight Center,
"Right now, we are in between major ice ages, in a period that has been
called the Holocene."

This report may represent the third time that NASA’s DR. James Hansen,
Al Gore’s point man on his AGW hoax, has had to backtrack on his claims
that humans are responsible for climate change.

In the past Dr. Hansen was forced to admit that 1934, not 1998, was the
warmest year on record due to a lack of standardization of weather
reporting stations. Hansen also misstated that “October 2008 was the
hottest on record,” largely because the data used repeated September’s.

The article concludes:

    The inconvertible fact, here is that even NASA’s own study
acknowledges that solar variation has caused climate change  in the
past.  And even the study’s members, mostly ardent supports of AGW
theory, acknowledge that the sun may play a significant role in future
climate changes.

Could Dr. Hansen’s Reign of Error as head of the Goddard Institute for
Space Flight be coming to an end? Or will Robert Calahan get the ax for
telling the truth?

Science or ideology?  What’s it going to be NASA?

The Jews think the same way about negroes as white supremacists except
they see negroes as a way of harassing and harming Whites. Most white
supremacists don’t look at negroes as some sort of tool to screw with
other people, but rather as a plague to be avoided.

Once again, alcohol is the truth elixir.

The most disrespectful act a leader/ ambassador/ etc can do to another
is not acknowledge them with a handshake.
