Obama has had Seven years to close Guantanamo, but it is still open for business

http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/obama-is-once-again-trying-to-close-gitmo-but-how/ar-BBmR8Oh?li=BBoPH6G Obama Is Once Again Trying to Close Guantanamo Bay prison . But How? Guantanamo Bay prison Obama had a plan to close the military prison in Guantanamo Bay announced on the first day of his Presidency in January 20, 2009. All he got was the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.  Obama with his Nobel Peace Prize. Meanwhile, the stain of Guantanamo Bay remains as an obnoxious breech of civil liberties and an insult to the principle of "due process" in domestic and international law, even today in October of 2016. Obama has done nothing in 7 years but now he has a "new plan". Surely if you are the most powerful man in the world you just have to say " Close Guantanamo Bay now."

A corrupt and rotten regime

A corrupt and rotten administratio...

Manufacture a "confrontation" to achieve the real objective.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/aug/26/nato-east-european-bases-counter-russian-threat NATO plans east European bases to counter "Russian threat" NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen   It has always been about creating NATO bases in Ukraine. The entire Kiev, Moscow confrontation has been engineered by "the west" (aka the United States and US dominated NATO), using the European Union links and ultimate membership dispute in justification. NATO The ousting an elected President (whether we like ,Viktor Yanukovych or not,), to install the pro western, pro European government of Petro Poroshenkoof is not an unusual occurrence or tactic in American politics. It is a foreign policy, still very much in use today, which has numerous files under the collective title of "Replacing a few enemies with a few friends". In the Ukraine, it is a not very subtle excuse being used as a front for basing American missiles and personnel along pra...

The art of "Double standards"

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/aug/14/iraq-crisis-us-britain-rescue-yazidis-mount-sinjar    Obama was not talking about Palestinians in Gaza.   Barak Obama   The words of Barak Obama demonstrating a true example of the double standard. If we did not know better, we could actually think that he was talking about Palestinians in Gaza. No, he is actually talking about a christian Kurdish minority, seeking refuge on top of Mount Sinjar. He would certainly not wish to upset the Israeli's with comments like,"where countless innocent people are facing a massacre" or even, "when we have the ability to help prevent it – the United States can’t just look away". When it comes to Israel, there is no such word as as hypocrisy. What Obama, "Mr Sincerity" himself actually said was: “When there’s a situation like the one on this mountain – when countless innocent people are facing a massacre, and when we have the ability to help pr...

IDF takes revenge on Rafah, but Hadar Goldin was "killed in action"

                  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/israelgaza-conflict-at-least-100-dead-in-24-hours-in-rafah-9644624.html  At least 100 dead in 24 hours in Rafah 2nd Lt. Hadar Goldin   Now that the authorities have established that 2nd Lt. Hadar Goldin was in fact killed in action, rather than being "kidnapped" by Hammas or any of the other Palestinian resistance fighters in Gaza, will we now see some sort of apology from Obama, Ban Ki-Moon, Cameron or any of the western leaders who were so quick to leap onto the band wagon of "condemning in the strongest terms" or "demanding the immediate unconditional release", or any of the other frenzied clamour which filled our media and news reports for most of yesterday? Somehow, I doubt it, as the purpose of the hysteria has now been fulfilled. Obama, Cameron and the other pro Israel leaders, were able to divert atte...

A sense of double standards in the Whitehouse and the UN Building.

Hadar Goldin during yesterdays Israeli ceasefire breaking operation, to extend the destruction of tunnels and other infrastructure in Gaza. Finger jabbing rhetoric demanding the "immediate unconditional release", or "condemning in the strongest terms" or even  being "shocked and ...
