Peace Action: "Obama can go to hell"
Paul Kawika Martin, one of the leaders of the anti-war movement, disclosed that there had been a lot of angry comments aimed at Obama during a conference call with progressives from the US: "I heard a woman say 'Obama can go to hell'. That was from someone who had campaigned for him." Martin, political director of Peace Action, added: "I am hearing a visceral reaction among the grassroots who are very disappointed. People did want to give Obama a chance, but that honeymoon period is clearly ending."Such sentiments can be heard at social gatherings round Washington where liberals meet and can be seen in the daily debates on liberal blog sites such as Huffington Post, Daily Kos, Firedoglake and Talking Points Memo. MoveOn.org, whose members campaigned hard for Obama last year, helped raise funds for him throughout the early stages of his administration, turned on him and unequivocally denounced him: " President Obama has ordered about 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan - escalating the war. But escalation only deepens our involvement in a quagmire. The president needs to hear that we want to bring the troops home, not send more to Afghanistan".

The Anarchy which Obama Created in Afghanistan
To fully understand the "war" in Afghanistan, you have to look at the time-line on
http://www.ringnebula.com/Timeline.htm
Our greed for the oil available from the former Soviet "republics" has made us blind to the suffering of the indigenous people in that struggling nation. Right now, there are hundreds of thousands of Afghans struggling to stay alive and feed their families in the mud of wretched refugee camps near Kabul.
As a direct result of their suffering, a group calling itself "the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan" has issued a warning to the American people of how they will endeavor to defend their troubled nation. To read the full text of their warning, please click on A Message From The Taliban at

Petraeus: "Violence Will Increase in Afghanistan"
As a result of the US military escalation, US troops would "have to fight their way into enemy strongholds and clear enemy-controlled population centers."
But wait: Hamid Karsai, our 'boy in charge' of that desperate country, stated that it would be 15 to 20 years before Afghanistan would be able to sustain its own security forces.
As long as the long-anticipated oil pipeline will enrich the wealthy owners in our United States, the casualties among our soldiers and airmen will not be of great concern to small and tiny (CHANGE) Obama, our supposed deliverer from the alleged evils of our Cheney/Bush administration.
According to the New York Times, Pentagon aides went further, clarifying that when Gates spoke of a withdrawal taking YEARS, he was not referring to a complete pulling out of US troops, but merely to a: "gradual" and "conditions-based" theater of the absurd, and an almost imperceptible change in the US military role!
Before a lot of fools were enticed to vote for him, Obama DID promise change, and now you have it.

Are Top Journalists STILL "Intellectual Prostitutes"?
John Swinton, the foremost journalist of his day, was asked to toast an independent press at a New York banquet given in his honor by other journalists. His response was clear and forthright:
"There is no such thing, at this stage of the world's history in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dare write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that they would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would we foolish enough to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my papers, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalist is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify. to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what is this folly in toasting an independent press?

WAR CRIMES!
Iraq is littered with high levels of nuclear and dioxin contamination, according to Martin Chulov of the British guardian in it's 1/30/10 issue. Not only has that hapless nation suffered greater rates of cancers and birth defects near many of that nation's areas, but more than 40 sites across Iraq, with three decades of war has left the environment of that once proud nation in ruins. Areas in and near Iraq's largest towns and cities, including Najaf, Basra and Falluja account for about 25% of the contaminated sites, like communities which have seen increased rates of cancer and birth defects over the past five years.
But, on a brighter note: a high-ranking EU delegation, which includes 60 members of the EU parliament has called for the prosecution of Israeli officials, over war crimes in the heavily contaminated Gaza strip. British Labor Party Sir Gerald Kauffim, described their visit as a message of solidarity with Gaza to end the Israeli siege. He called for the prosecution of Israeli officials who had authorized the use of white phosphorous bombs, which are outlawed under the Geneva convention.

Russian Intelligence Chief Says Al-Qaeda a Myth!
The 'War against Terror' is no more than a pretext to further US control over the world's oil reserves. So says Leonid Shebarshin, former head of the Soviet Foreign Intelligence Service.
On the pretext of fighting "international terrorism" the United States is trying to establish control over the world's richest oil reserves, Leonard Shebarshin, ex-chief of the Soviet Foreign Intelligence Service, who heads the Russian National Economic Security Service consulting company, said in an interview for the Vremya Novostei newspaper.
Using the anti-terrorist cause as a cover, the United States has occupied Afghanistan, Iraq and will soon move to impose "our democratic order" on the Greater Middle East, according to Shebarshin. Referring to his meeting with an unnamed al-Qaeda expert at the Rand Corporation, a "non-profit" research organization in the US, Shebarshin said: "We have agreed that al-Qaeda is not a group, but a notion. The fight against that all-mighty ubiquitous myth deliberately linked to Islam is of great advantage for the Americans as it targets the oil-rich Muslim regions," Shebarshin emphasized.

Russian Intelligence Chief Says Al-Qaeda a Myth!!
In their posting of March 21, 2oo5, Leonard Shebarshin, former head of the Soviet Foreign Intelligence Service, claims that the US pretext of fighting "international terrorism" is merely a pretext to further US control over our world's oil reserves.
Using the false pretext of anti-terrorism, a despicable parade of rogue "US presidents" have deliberately lied to the citizens of our United States, and the entire world, in the vain hope that they will not be caught in this despicable charade.
Their anti-terrorist hoax has so far been a cover to occupy Afghanistan, Iraq, and will soon be used to impose a "democratic order" on the Greater Middle East.
Referring to his meeting with an unnamed "al-Qaeda expert " at the Rand Corporation, a "nonprofit" research organization in the US, Shebarshin said: "We have agreed that al-Qaeda is NOT a group, but a notion.
