Man who Threatend Pelosi in Jail. Obama remains free.

By on April 7, 2010 in Foreign Policy, Terrorism

The AP is reporting that the FBI has arrested a California man for making threatening phone calls to Nancy Pelosi.

Several federal officials say the man made dozens of calls to Pelosi’s homes in California and Washington, as well as to her husband’s business office, reciting her home address and saying if she wanted to see it again, she would not support the health care overhaul bill that was recently enacted.

Meanwhile back at the ranch….

Barack Obama has threatened the lives of millions of people in Iran, and he walks free. ABC News reports that Obama, in backing off the use of nuclear weapons, made “exceptions for Iran and North Korea or any other country which violates the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.”

In other words, Obama to people of Iran: Make sure your criminal leaders do what WE want them to do, or you’ll never see your home again.

The lone wolf is a criminal for threatening the criminal. Sure, I get that. But Obama is a far bigger criminal – and so is Pelosi too. And that’s not even getting into the previous administration’s crimes…

The criminals are running the “justice” system.

Iran: The Usual Suspect

By on October 4, 2009 in Foreign Policy

Sabre rattling about Iran’s nuclear program was once again everywhere in the corporate media last week.  Despite sounding strangely familiar it was Obama’s administration this time, perceived by many as an ‘anti-war’ candidate before the general election last year.

So much for that.

Many have analyzed the Iran nuclear scenario and can find no motive other than defense for their nuclear weapons program, fictional or actual.  When one tries to imagine how Iran would benefit from nuking another nation, even Israel, there simply isn’t anything that emerges.  Sure, there is the usual trotting out of that VERY loosely translated ‘wipe Israel off the map’ speech and claims that the Mullahs are so psycho that they would nuke at the first opportunity, but both of these arguments lack logic and historical precedent.

As has been stated by many a rational observer, one only has to examine DC’s policies towards the otherwise Iran-esque Islamic nuclear power, Pakistan (our…friend…) to see that the Iranians stand to enjoy quite a victory if they can develop a nuke, without ever even arming it.

So why does the Federal government continue to ignore the sovereignty of other states like Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan?  One only has to look at domestic policy for a consistent track record.  Federal disregard for sovereign states shouldn’t surprise, considering the Federal policies that have trampled upon the sovereignty of the United States for decades.

For those that oppose adventurism and empire building, the 10th amendment movement is a natural fit.  If one opposes the invasion of Iraq, they should find equivalent intellectual motivation to oppose, say, the recent attack on Oklahoma’s sovereignty.  The strongman routine suddenly looks a little different in this context- when  DC’s bullying is shown to be not only directed at nations around the world, but also at our United States.
