? on Obama war strategy? On 3/27/09, Obama announced a comprehensive new strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan that he said was the conclusion of a careful policy review. (See NYT link) On 9/22/09 when asked about his decision on the expected troop request from general McChrsystal Obama said he couldn't make a decision because "I just want to make sure that everybody understands that you don't make decisions about resources before you have the strategy ready" What happened to the comprehensive strategy he announced 6 months prior? Is he already abandoning that 3/27 strategy? Has something changed between then and now? It seems to me that the only thing that has changed is the politics of the Afghan war. I hate to say this about an American president, but is it possible that Obama makes decisions as a war time commander in chief based on how the political winds are blowing? My personal view is that Afghanistan has become a quagmire and we should either go all out for victory, or pull back and just rely on unmanned drones, special forces and intelligence to simply keep the Taliban, and Al Qaida on the run. I think turning Afghanistan into a functioning, even remotely modern democracy is a pipe dream, moon shot. Obama was very clear in his campaign that Afghanistan was the right war, and a war we must win. I hope some Obama supporters respond. Are my questions/concerns legitimate? What would you advise him to do? http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/27/us/politics/27obama-text.html http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N20207458.htm It seems a bit odd to me that you would do a careful review and come up with a comprehensive strategy and then change it just 6 months later before it has even been fully implemented. It does remind me of those who declared the Iraq surge a failure before it had even begun. By all out, I mean, add like 100,000 more troops, and stop pussyfooting around. I think the worst decision Obama could make would be to try to please everyone, and come down somewhere in the middle of not pulling out, but not adding enough troops to get the job done either. I'm not sure Obama even knows what his goal is in Afghanistan, so "get the job done "doesn't have clear meaning. If the president isn't even sure what we're doing there, then we should leave.
Are College Students Followers -- More Than People Who Make Their Own Decisions? Obama is 46, an ambitious man, who moved to Chicago, to team up with his cut throat Press agent Axelrod and craft a strategy to win the white house. He's like a guy in a movie who masterminded a plan to overcome his lack of experience, fend off all questions with offense (underhanded passive aggressive, ongoing attacks on Hillary and her staff), he's tied up with Rezko who has fundraised for both Obama and Bush, his votes in the Senate are Hawkish, he has no record for being for Peace, and no record for working for change. He wrote 3 books, that he's selling like hotcakes in this campaign, he says he kept no records when he was in the Illinois Senate, and he is the least experienced man to run for President in modern times. Obama is about Obama. He worked for10 months at non-profit and before that he worked for Wall Street. His original backing came from Wall Street, Banks, Oprah, and the Chicago Political Machine run by Mayor Daly. He's cool though, huh? Cooler than Hillary?
WHO’S PUSHING DOPE TO DESTROY INDIGENOUS YOUTH? Drug abuse in Indigenous communities is not random. Someone wants us to be pacified and to push us to have a total social breakdown. They want our brains, morals and ambition destroyed. They want our Indigenous youth to be criminalized and minimized. Drug abuse creates misfits and society dropouts who are supposed to be discarded and discredited. It stops us from campaigning for our social and political rights. The colonists want us to shut up. They don’t want to acknowledge their obligation to us. They don’t want to admit they are on stolen land. It’s an old strategy. Going back to the 1830s Britain was the world’s major drug trafficker. The Europeans were jealous of the Chinese. They had so many beautiful items like silk, porcelain, spices, etc. Britain only had wool to trade, which the Chinese did not need. The Europeans had to get silver to trade with China. They also had tobacco from Turtle Island. To increase demand for tobacco they cut it with opium from India. Before long, huge numbers around the trading ports in Canton [the modern city of Guangzhou] were addicted. Silver began draining out of China and ruining the economy. The Chinese emperor passed a law forbidding the import of opium. They wrote to Queen Victoria asking her to control her nationals and stop the illegal trade. The Chinese announced all opium would be seized and burned. U.S. traders ignored the ban and brought in a shipment to Canton. It was confiscated and burned in public. The Americans got the British to declare war on China. The “Opium War” was to defend the “right” of drug dealers. The Chinese were not warlike. They did not have a big army to defend themselves from the British. The British won the war and forced the Chinese to give them a lot of land around Hong Kong. This has since been returned to them. China was forced to make opium legal along with unrestricted propagation of Christianity. The affect was devastating. A lot of research was done on how a few were able to defeat a population of millions through drugs. In the end the Chinese regained their independence. We Indigenous People of Turtle Island are in the midst of this same kind of struggle. Shouldn’t we ask why is the U.S. in Afghanistan? It is the source of over 90% of the world’s opium! Does somebody want the whole world to be stoned! In the 1940’s, British writer Aldous Huxley, who wrote “Brave New World”, went to the U.S. He recruited Allen Watts who became the guru of a nationwide Zen Buddhist cult in California in the 1950s and 1960s. He founded the “Pacifica Foundation” which sponsored two radio stations that pushed the “Liverpool sound”. This was the British imported “hard” rock twang of the Rolling Stones, the Beatles and the Animals. They also pioneered “acid rock” and eventually “psychotic punk rock”. In 1943 LSD was developed by Albert Hoffman, a chemist at Sandoz A.B. – a Swiss pharmaceutical owned by banker, S.G. Warburg. [He’s a Federal Reserve shareholder]. British and U.S. intelligence were directly involved. The book “Aquarian Conspiracy” described how new age philosophy was blended with the promotion of the drug culture. “The introduction of major psychedelics in the 1960s was largely attributable by the Central Intelligence Agency CIA’s investigation for possible military use”. It was codenamed “MK Ultra”.In the 1960s kids in the U.S. were protesting against the Vietnam War. The U.S. establishment did not know what to do. On May 4, 1970, the National Guard shot four kids at Kent State University in Ohio. They were protesting against the U.S. invasion of Cambodia ordered by President Nixon. The shooting was meant to quell the demonstrations against the war. It didn’t work. To divert the youth, a humongous drug movement was started. The 1968 mega concert at Woodstock in Sullivan County New York was part of the drug and “free love” movement sponsored by companies like Capitol Records. In New York City the “Ed Sullivan Show” displayed these groups nationwide to promote the drug culture. For the U.S. to continue its warmongering it had to corrupt and destroy its opposition, the youth. According to recently released CIA documents, Allen Dulles, the then head of the CIA, purchased over 100 million doses of LSD – most of which flooded the streets of the USA during the late 1960s. [Illuminaticonspiracyarchives.com]. The plan is for every instinct for survival to be controlled by drugs. The drugs produced naturally by the body are being replaced by drugs being manufactured by the multi-national corporations. Today, as a result of 911, the climate of fear has been promoted over the U.S. and Canada. The kids are told that fear can be shut out by going into this false artificial world created by drugs, pills and music. The kids lose touch with reality and are not able to understand or cope with social abuse. Today multi-national corporations and pharmaceuticals have control of recording companies, music, radio stations, television programming, films, mains
If Obama is not a Marxist-Socialist, why did he teach Saul Alinsky? Born to Russian-Jewish parents in Chicago in 1909, Saul Alinsky was a Communist/Marxist fellow-traveler who helped establish the dual political tactics of confrontation and infiltration that characterized the 1960s and have remained central to all subsequent revolutionary movements in the United States. He never joined the Communist Party but instead, as David Horowitz puts it, became an avatar of the post-modern left. http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2314 "Obama learned his lesson well. I am proud to see that my father's model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community organizing to affect the Democratic campaign in 2008. It is a fine tribute to Saul Alinsky as we approach his 100th birthday." --Letter from L. DAVID ALINSKY, son of Neo-Marxist Saul Alinsky Obama helped fund 'Alinsky Academy': "The Woods Fund, a nonprofit on which Obama served as paid director from 1999 to December 2002, provided startup funding and later capital to the Midwest Academy.... Obama sat on the Woods Fund board alongside William Ayers, founder of the Weather Underground domestic terrorist organization.... 'Midwest describes itself as 'one of the nation's oldest and best-known schools for community organizations, citizen organizations and individuals committed to progressive social change.'... Midwest teaches Alinsky tactics of community organizing." Alinsky's tactics were based, not on Stalin's revolutionary violence, but on the Neo-Marxist strategies of Antonio Gramsci, an Italian Communist. http://www.crossroad.to/Quotes/communism/alinsky.htm why didn't he ban private property? Give him time and he will
