Joe Blogs World

Back-Tracker Obama

2009-12-10T20:34:00.008+01:00

It is not often I write on this Blog anymore, but today I thought I just had to write a few lines. After all today is the day that the Noble Peace Prize lost its value. Possibly all of the Noble Prizes. The people of the future who will be unlucky enough to be awarded the Noble Peace Prize will receive a worthless award, although admittedly they will also get a nice bit of pocket money and perhaps that will make up for the disappointment of the empty award.

It will be really difficult to take the Noble Peace Prize serious anymore, not after it has been awarded to a warmongering President of the USA who has done absolutely nothing to deserve this award besides giving many fancy speeches and send many more troops to war and condemning very many people to die, not to mention the amount of destruction.

It is hard to imagine what made the Noble Prise committee take this incredulous decision, but for whatever reason it has marked the prize as being a political one. No longer will be able to see it as being awarded solely for genuine peace actions spread out over a long period of time. From now on it can only be seen as a political tainted choice. Not solely in the interests of peace but for obscure political reasons. Perhaps it was always so, but at least it was hidden in the background but now the award is stained forever.

While receiving this award Obama gave a speech trying to deflect criticism for his warmongering, as always with American Politicians (and a lot of others too) they proclaim they are not doing (the war) for themselves (America) but for the World. They switch their tunes like a fashion model switches clothes. When it fits them they are doing (whatever) for the world (So everyone should stick their nose into it) and when it suits them in another mood they are doing it (solely) for American interests (and everyone else should keep their nose out of it).

I don’t remember being asked by President Obama or by anyone else in America, so how come you say you’re doing it for me? Because I don’t want you to, so you can stop doing it right this minute. Of course you won’t. Because when the truth is told, you are not doing it for me or other people like me. This argument style we hear more and more from America. On the war area, the (illegal) invasions, on the climate, on financial, on companies...and a whole list of others.

Of course Obama has done a little, and without doubt he is better than Bush, but just look at how many things he promised or talked about in his fancy speeches and then later back-tracked on them. Lots of things! Far too many! He has done nothing to speak of about the bankers and financial sector. And he would seem to be just another warmonger President.

It is a really sad day for the Noble Peace Prize. Peace just died.

I have just read this article: “Obama's Big Sellout”

(http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/31234647/obamas_big_sellout)

When I have a little more time maybe I write a little more on this subject but for the moment it fits my views (also expressed above) and I highly recommend reading it! There is no doubt that Obama has done a complete turnabout from all those election speeches and promises and the picture on Rollingstone rings true. I am only surprised that so few people (and reporters) are not reacting to what is going on!

Change, what is change? $150m in “small change" that's what "change" is!

2009-01-14T20:46:00.010+01:00

Barack Obama's inauguration cost is predicted to reach over $150m!

$42.3m was spent on George Bush's inauguration in 2005

and

$33m spent on Bill Clinton's in 1993

The economy is is great trouble, not just in America but all over the world. People are losing jobs everywhere. People are losing their houses! People are losing all they have! People are losing their lives! Yet $150m can be spent for this!

A $700 billion Wall Street bailout was asked for and arranged, so perhaps Obama thinks $150m is “nothing” but "small change" in comparison. A drop in the ocean. What does it matter! At a time when “change” is really needed due to the extremely serious downturn in the American and World economy Obama lets the cost of his inauguration reach this absorbent amount. Lets not fool ourselves, Obama could have prevented this if had reallly wanted. But he has stayed as silent on this matter as he has on others.

Over 1000 people killed in Gaza, but what has that got to do with it, nothing, they are just people....

....all that matters is having a $150m party!

And this is “change”?

The Killers of Children! More than 1,000 killed in Gaza

2009-01-14T18:03:00.005+01:00

More than 1,000 killed in Gaza

.........more than a third of these are children.....

......And we do nothing.... NOTHING....

......We, yes.... YOU AND I..............we do NOTHING...

......we do nothing about Israel and what Israel does...

......we use the same old arguments.......

...... believe the same old arguments...

......that have been used time and time again....year after year......

......this is KILLING.........pure

.....The silence of Obama...the words of Hillary Clinton are sickening.......

......almost as sickening as the actions of Israel ...

......but WE.......WE do NOTHING...............

......are we not sickening too........... ?

An introduction to the word “change”

2009-01-14T17:34:00.004+01:00

Change! Such a nice word. Nice and short, and you don't need a sentence to offer so much (or so little) with this word.

Lets take an example. I'm a heavy smoker and it is December 2008, I have a really bad cough and the state of my health is not good because of this. I promise I am going to “change” for 2009. I tell everyone this, putting the emphasis on “change” so that everyone thinks I am going to stop smoking, convince everyone I'm going to bring “change”. 2009 comes. People are surprised to see me still smoking away. I point out that I have changed. I now smoke filter cigarettes. The people are not that impressed. So I point out that I also now smoke the low nicotine cigarettes. To really impress them of my “change” I tell them I go for a short jog each day (taking a pack of low nicotine filter cigarettes with me of course). And I tell them I am going to do this.....or...that... and do here and there this or that....... I still smoke of course, but I have brought change......

Hillary Clinton appearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee: besides dodging the questions about her husbands actions and fund-raising and the serious question of “the conflict of interests” (so “change” is put to test straight away and what do you think happened - yes your right - were still smoking)

On the extremely serious question of Gaza and all those dead and dying people Hillary Clinton did some more political dodging. She came out with such “changing words” regarding the violence (Killing) in Palestine such as “must only increase our determination to seek a just and lasting peace agreement” . Now I don't know about you but I have the feeling I have heard those words, or similar words, so often before, but I must be wrong, because this is all about “change." She did get around to mention her “husbands” actions and policies in the past (so another clear indication that were going to get “change”). She also expressed that she was “deeply sympathetic” to Israel’s right to defend itself against rocket attacks.......Oh wow......a clear indication of “CHANGE” and if this isn't enough to convince you of “REAL CHANGE” then what about this......she reiterated her opposition to direct negotiations with Hamas unless it renounces violence and recognizes Israel.................

....now isn't that "REAL CHANGE" for you!.......(cough....cough.....cough.....cough...... ....cough....cough.........sounds like I'm getting better).

So now we know it folks “real” I mean "real" change is coming......cough....cough.....cough........”

Hey, did Obama or the Clinton's win the election? Is this really change?

2009-01-13T19:35:00.005+01:00

(This article is extension of article below this one)

It doesn't look very promising does it? Is this change? Is it real change? Are these peole going to provide “change”! It looks very doubtful. Okay, I can hear some of you saying “give him a chance, he is not President, not in power, yet”! Yeah okay, but he didn't get elected on the basis of “give me a chance” he got elected on the basis of “change” and I am sure that most people meant “real change” when they voted. So what about his silence or non-action over the Israel – Gaza situation with over 900 dead. Is this change, real change? So the "I am not yet President" silence and non-action, is this a sign of real change? Wouldn't real change have meant doing something, something different from the past, which includes not remaining silent, non-active just because presidency has not yet taken force. Doesn't this mean taking action that is really different from the past, not following routines and ideas from the past, and policies of the past? Even doing something even though the presidency has not yet come into force? Wouldn't this be the real change? Are we truly seeing change here? Change from the Bush policy, the Clinton policy, and all the policies before that! Is this just more of the same, in a different wrapping?

Is this really change? Does this really promise real change? Yeah right, the court is still out on this one! But somehow or other, sadly, I feel it might not be..........

Hey, did Obama or the Clinton's win the election?

2009-01-13T18:10:00.002+01:00

Hey, who is running the show folks?

Obama.: More of the same? And the same from whom?

Over 900 dead in Gaza and still Obama says and does nothing! Israel and Jewish influence still is the master!

Obama's determination to carry on the fight in Afghanistan! Does this mean another war loving President?

Hillary Clinton as secretary of state? The papers talk of „...conflicts of interest...“! What conflict of interests? It is possible that some people might see this as some kind of pay-off position, but there is no evidence of that. Of course she is married to an ex-president who still has much power and sway, and whose charitable foundation have received a number of donations from foreign governments and multinational corporations. And who is still actively busy in business and political matters all over the world. She did run for president herself, and only gave up reluctantly (has she really given up?), so she has strong ideas and policies of her own, she was rather quick to vote for the Iraq war (so does this mean she is another warmonger?), Obama and Hillary Clinton clashed on some foreign policy issues during the primary campaign ........So, what conflict of interests?

Robert Gates: a former director of the CIA, appointed Defence Secretary by President Bush and who promoted the military surge in Iraq..................

Eric Holder: another Clinton ...he was number two in the Clinton Administration Justice Department

Susan Rice, to be UN ambassador was also in Clinton administration

Lisa Jackson to head Environmental Protection Agency -worked for the EPA under Bill Clinton

Shaun Donovan: Secretary of Housing/Urban Development - was also in the Clinton Administration

Tom Vilsack: Agriculture Secretary - endorsed Hillary Clinton in the primaries.

Leon Panetta: to head the CIA (?) - former Clinton White House chief of staff

Janet Napolitano: to head the Department of Homeland Security - President Bill Clinton appointed her US Attorney for the District of Arizona.

whose show is this really?

Don't wait for Obama they will all be dead, …..for Bush that is okay

2009-01-09T16:12:00.004+01:00

Forget Obama he is only “concerned” for the press but not concerned enough to do something, speak out, take the risk....

if this is change....

(the usual political games and manoeuvres, staying out of trouble to keep your seat and the votes, don't rock the boat, be careful of the powerful Jewish and other powerful right-wingers...stay on the old road, old policies, old tactics, old everything...)

then lets forget this kind of change, forget Obama and his kind of change...and we can all (accept Israel who are grateful to him) certainly forget Bush....(and we forgot him in this sense long ago....but we wont be able to forget what he did to the world, and how many lives have been lost, how much destruction.....)

it is YOU who brings real change YOU AND ONLY YOU

Over 700 DEAD Mr. "Concerned" Obama

2009-01-08T17:21:00.008+01:00

Over 700 DEAD Mr. "Concerned" Obama

The Red Cross has accused Israel of failing to fulfil its obligation to help wounded civilians in Gaza.

International Red Cross workers find four weak and scared children beside their mothers' bodies in houses hit by shelling in Zeitoun.

Shame on you! Shame on your kind of change! Shame on Israel!

and as for Bush.........

The Obama dinner party

2009-01-08T06:50:00.002+01:00

As dead bodies of men, women and children litter Gaza Obama the president of the future with presidents of present and past cut the meat of another dead body. Champagne, caviar and foie gras were all on the menu as people in Gaza starve, have nothing to drink, and are surrounded by the dead meat and dead bodies, that were once family, friends, daughters, sons, fathers, mothers, aunts, uncles, school friends, neighbours, and innocent people.

Obama is deeply concerned he said, he is certainly showing it!

This is change to Obama!

My oh my Obama is “deeply concerned“

2009-01-07T06:33:00.002+01:00

My oh my, Obama is „deeply concerned„! What about! There is nothing to be „deeply concerned“ about is there? I mean Israel has only killed about 600 people or more, and goodness knows wounded how many more, and many of these children and women or innocent men! What has Obama to be concerned about? And why should he be concerned at all, after all he is only the president elect that takes office in a few days time. Why should he be bothered or concerned with such matters? The inauguration party is more important! Sitting on the fence is more important! Not upsetting those Jewish power bosses and voters and right-wingers is more important. Not going against the American trend of supporting Israel no matter what they do, or treat other people, is more important. Why should Obama be „deeply concerned“! What good is that going to do anyway, lets get on with the big party in Washington, that’s more important, that’s what we have be more concerned about!

Obama’s kind of change: Sitting on the fence

2009-01-06T19:42:00.005+01:00

Bush supports the war in Palestine, he supports Israel. We can not expect anything good or worthwhile from him. Obama canvassed for election on the word “change”. Apparently change for him is sitting on the fence.

Obama is busy. Busy sitting on the fence, enjoying his view from a luxury hotel of the Whitehouse, “busy” making financial plans for the “recovery of America“. Very noble. The only trouble is as he is doing this hundreds of people, once real live people, are being killed in Palestine. Not his problem! Not his business! Not his watch!

Come on, what a load of rubbish!

I would say it is every human beings problem, no matter where they are.

Not his business? Why not? He is a human being isn’t he? It’s the business of all of us.

He has been elected because he promised change and just because he is not in the White House (on Watch!) surely does not exclude him from this; he is busy with other presidential problems.

Not his watch (Only one president)! Well I don’t see what his not yet being president has to do with this. I am not president and even I am trying to do something (by writing this and other things) and he is in a more powerful position than I am.

There are a lot more reasons. For example how about the unbalanced and biased support of America for Israel. How about that America has helped Israel to be such a well armed and powerful country and force, even having nuclear capabilities. How about the fact that America has armed Israel. How about the way America has encouraged Israel over all the years, either directly or indirectly or secretly or through third parties. How about the fact that America is still doing that right at this moment. How about the fact that America is responsible for what is going on now, directly or indirectly. How about so many reasons. ……

…….How about the simple fact that these are human beings, that Palestinians are human beings too, and are supposed to have human rights too…but no one can ever really believe this…

…not his watch…only one president at a time……

….come off it…..

…..were not talking about real change…(and he has been elected now so forget that)….

…………..were talking about the game of politics…staying in power…not upsetting those powerful right-wingers, the powerful and influential Jewish votes and power bosses….

….change…what change…change is selective, it means I’m going to talk about it, promise it….it don’t mean I’m going to do it…and even if I do…well don’t expect any heroics or anything "really changeful "

The Crime of Israel… and the list of The Top Ten greatest Threats to the World

2009-01-04T20:35:00.005+01:00

I haven’t written anything for this or any other of my blogs since 7 June 2007. That’s a long time ago and a lot has happened in the world since then. I gave up writing for my blog for a mixture of reasons. Firstly because I did not really have the time anymore, and since I thought no one ever really reads what I write I (rightly or wrongly, probably wrongly) kind of thought “why bother”. Other reasons played a role too and I wasn’t sure I wanted to continue with this kind of blog writing.

But I am back (for this one time).

My second to last article on my blog was titled “The Top Ten Greatest Threats to the World”.

Due to the length of time that had passed since I wrote this article I was surprised to receive a comment for this article on 18 October 2008 from: Blackrain. His comment was:

So right Joe. How prolific. You wrote this almost a year and a half ago, and look at us now!

Blackrain was of course referring to the latest economic situation in the world. Which I had listed many times in my list, directly and indirectly.

I also listed another major threat to the world. Listed at Nr. 5 that has now become acute.

Israeli Politics.

Once again, just as in Iraq, we in the World stand by and passively watch as human rights violations, unjust and disproportionate and illegal death and destruction, on MEN, WOMEN and CHILDREN is carried out by a superior power.

Yes, rockets have been and are being fired at Israel. Yes, this is not right and is not to be supported or condoned. This is a reality.

But there is also another reality. That these rockets (while they should not be excused, supported or condoned) usually only cause some damage and rarely death. This does not mean that this makes them right, or acceptable, or harmless, or any other thing. They are not right and should be stopped.

But to kill over 500 people (and how many more to come?) and create so much destruction of homes, properties and people lives is shameless, and is a far greater crime.

It is a crime against all human rights, and human life, and life in all forms.

It is a disproportionate, inhuman crime.

To treat people the way Israel treats Palestinians, treating them like dirt, like nothing, barricading them from food and supplies, from medical care and help, from travelling, from life, from their own land and property, building walls, denying them any real decency, hope or possibilities, or future, denying them their beliefs, denying their human rights, controlling them in every way possible, denying them energy and water….and continually using their superior and disproportionate military and technical power……and doing this year after year after year…then it is little wonder that you aggravate some reaction….

..it is to wonder if this is what Israel really wants…keep the rockets coming and they have arguments and excuses to squeeze the Palestinians from their land, their hopes, and…? They certainly do not show any real meaningful sign of truly wanting peace. Peace in any relationship has to be suitable for both sides. But Israel has the power and upper hand and is not willing to sacrifice this. And certainly not so long as it is supported by America.

As in the case of Iraq we, the rest of the World just stand by and watch, and do nothing. All too often we believe the arguments that Israel gives to support its actions and policies. Just as the Americans and so many others believed Bush about the reasons for (illegally) invading Iraq. It turned out not to be true.

Yet once again we do the same. We believe the arguments quickly. It is no surprise that Bush supports Israel, although he does it indirectly, as so many things. That politicians like rightwing Angela Merkel of Germany who also quickly supported Israel is probably also no great surprise, although downright disgusting and a shame and a crime against humanrights.

I think it is unlikely that much will change when Barack Obama is in power either. I would truly like to hope that he will bring change, but…If he truly wanted change from his heart he would not be keeping silent now. But in politics it is always politics that are more important, being popular and keeping in power…not real human lives…not real real change. If we see the people he is bringing into important positions in government then change would not seem to all that high on the list…..and certainly not human lives.

And what about us…we keep silent of course, just watch passively, believe the Israeli and other Western powers propaganda…the propaganda from (political background) radio and T.V. senders such as the BBC….

We see the destruction and the death…we know it is disproportionate…illegal….inhuman…a crime….we know it is power….. But we do nothing…

….are we not also committing a crime…

A crime against humanity, human rights, against life….?

The premiere performance of the G8 theatre production

2007-06-07T19:29:00.000+02:00

The premiere has been and gone, now the leading actors (George Bush, Tony Blair and Angela Merkel) stand bowing to the audience as they await the applause, the encore calls, the backslapping, and the breathtaking caressing critic of how great they were and are, how there has never been a show like it, and how much they accomplished in their breathtaking and spellbinding performance.
And when we the audience awake from the spell as we stagger out of the mesmerising atmosphere of the G8 theatre and realise that real life is just as it was before and that a performance is just a performance, and that a visit to the theatre is just a visit to the theatre, and not a thing has really changed in our life at all, with the exception that now we have the memory that we have seen a theatrical piece that is now a been and gone.

The Top Ten Greatest Threats to the World

2007-06-04T19:30:00.000+02:00

1) George W. Bush
2) American political policies
3) American corporate/economic/legal policies and actions
4) Global warming
5) Israeli policies
6) The so called war on terror
7) American public’s internal view and actions
8) World economic policies
9) Hedge/ private equity funds and shareholders
10)Tony Blair mentality and British Policies

who is Dr. Death?

2007-06-02T13:28:00.000+02:00

another case of selective human rights and selective justice

George W. Bush and Tony Blair’s decision to illegally invade a foreign country has (illegally and against all Human Rights) cost the life of tens of thousands of innocent people, and is still costing thousands of lives. Yet, today Tony Blair travels around the world as a free man like a proud peacock showing of its feathers.

Yesterday a 79 year old man was released from prison after having served almost 8 years for assisting terminally ill people in their deaths in what he considered was a humane act.

Do I need to say more!

US 'opposes' G8 climate proposals

2007-05-26T09:47:00.001+02:00

It is not only human rights and human lives that Bush is against but against the world in general. George W. Bush is only interested in one thing: the views of George W. Bush!

America rushes in more killing tools to kill even more innocent people

2007-05-25T15:41:00.000+02:00

Lebanon: America rushes in even more killing power to the Lebanon army. They are not content with shells that are killing innocent people.

“do they think we are not humans” said a Palestinian man who managed to escape “don’t we look like humans” he cries “don’t we have any human rights”

Children, women and men, innocent, are being killed, maimed and having their lives and their homes destroyed. Ironically enough they are already refugees, having lived in makeshift camps. Young people have grown up there not knowing any other life.

But this is a picture that is all too familiar under the world political leadership of President Bush and Tony Blair.

Human Rights!

Forget human rights and human lives under George W. Bush.

Just look at Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay, and countless other examples around the world. Just look at the world situation in general. Just look at the state of civilian and human rights even in America.

Spineless the world stands by watching. Spineless the politicians and majority of people watch, and above all those in America.

Jimmy Carter retracts his criticism.
The democratic party give in to Bush.
And spineless political leaders order their armies to shell and bomb and kill either their own citizens or other innocent people.

Let us take a look at another spineless time in history that led to similar great tragedies:

Hitler did not gather power overnight. He started in 1919 with the promise of “….extreme 'remedies' to Germany's post-war problems which he and many others blamed on…(Jews and Bolsheviks)…”

In fact in 1923 Hitler was imprisoned but after being released “…..he began to rebuild the Nazi Party and used new techniques of mass communication, backed up with violence, to get his message across….”

There was great fear about due to the economic crises of the time. Hitler used this fear and increased it to develop his power and build his army and to get across his political views and ideas.

“….Hitler saw himself as a political evangelist seeking to convert the German people to his 'world view'……”

You can manipulate situations and circumstances to good or less good needs. Hitler knew how to manipulate circumstances to force on other his 'world view'

Many times he could have been stopped but there was too much fear of personal circumstances and Hitler fed that fear with more fear and ideas and blames for the cause of that fear and the personal (bad) circumstances. There was uncertainty, a desire for security, there was confusion, there was the inability to decide what was best, there was longing, there was the protecting – no matter how falsely, foolishly, unwisely – there was the personal and family concerns, their was the false and misleading information, the manipulations, ……but above all there was the great fear (ever so powerful in the wrong hands) and the inability to act and the complete inability to see or accept the real truth, see what really was going on (and fear will do this)………

And there were the spineless. Those so many who could have changed things but did not. Mostly too worried about their own personal positions and situations. They allowed themselves to be manipulated, and look where that led!

In 2007 are things really any different?

We have not learnt from history.

And human rights and human lives are being treated now as then!
