Well, let’s have a good laugh on this one. According to Kristen Atkinson, Michelle Obama’s mother, Marian Robinson is practicing Santeria in the White House.
Of course, there were no links, no sources, for this absurd allegation provided. As far as I can see, this is just another attempt from a ‘mole’ to discredit conservatives, who may think that Obama is a Usurper. Of course, those are legitimate complaints, given his secretive past. However, this attempt to discredit him is ridiculous. First of all, if his Mother-in-law was practicing Santeria, he would probably be a lot more successful and popular than he is now, with his ratings dipping below 50%. BTW, the Supreme court defended the right of people to practice Santeria in 1993, according to Apologetics
According to Lyndon LaRouche, the families of the 9/11 victims met with Obama, who promised to declassify a special 28 page congressional report that delineates the role that “Saudi Ambassador Prince Bandar Bin Sultan, to two Saudi intelligence officers in California, who used the money to finance two of the 9/11 hijackers.”
That money can be further traced to a previous arrangement that the British government made with the Prince during the Prime Minister years of Margaret Thatcher. She reportedly signed the Al-Yamamah arms-for-oil deal that created a “$100 billion offshore slush fund for covert intelligence operations.”As you may remember, Obama’s Solicitor General, Elena Hagan, filed a brief to the Supreme Court, according to NY Times to quash the suit whereby the 9/11 families were seeking damages from the Saudi Royal Family.]
As of today, according to World Socialist Web Site, GWB originally classified these 28 pages of the Congressional 9/11 report, and the Obama administration is continuing to shield the Saudi Royal Family. The US government has a strong motivation to shield the dictatorship of the Saudis, since they are our allies. However, since the CIA and the Saudis are well-entrenched, s, this also means that the CIA must have known about 9/11 in advance. Thus, the US government, according to this scenario, was complicit in 9/11, allowing it to happen in order to provide a “pretext for implementing plans for wars abroad and repressive policies at home.
According toMorad Farhadpour and Omid Mehrgan “the other confused camp, the Western, more or less, Islamophobic liberals, who are inclined to identify Ahmadinjad with Al-Qaeda, who refer to Mousavi, because of his Islamic-Republican career in 80’s, as another version of Islamic, anti-democratic Ideology, one could say that they too are caught up in an illusion based on easy Euro-centrist generalizations and lack of familiarity with the Iranian historical context.” Farhadpour and Mehrgan, Iranian translators, unequivocally state that Moussavi, given his political history is definitely not some “Western liberal.” However, from the beginning he has “insisted on people’s dignity as a true political right.”
The difference is that Moussavi has allowed for the expression of a group of people who totally different from the “People” who are portrayed on the state owned media, Seda-va-Sima. In fact, even now, the Regine has labeled all protesters as “thugs.” As you can see in the above photo, there are several clerics in the group.
Hat Tip The Economist
Jim Hoff interviewed Iranian expatriate and hero, Ahmad Batebi, via the translation of Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzi. Batebi was sentenced to death for having his picture on the cover of the Economist. During his imprisonment at Evin Prison, he was tortured and still suffers partial paralysis of his body. He is a photographer and was originally arrested for censorship.
Batebi, in the interviewm expressed his opinion that Obama may certainly negotiate with Ahmadinejad, but questions whether it would be morally correct to do so. He says that “if the (world) wants to see the elimination of terrorism from the Middle East and for there to be peace between the Palestinians and the Arabs, and for the development of nuclear energy to be done for peaceful purposes, then the world needs to support the Iranian people.” This regime under Ahmadinejad and Khamenei possesses dangerous ideologies. He said that the World should deal with this dangerous regime now, or it too will suffer the consequences. After all, if the regime will murder its own people, what to speak of others?
Some say that Khamenei and Ahmadinejad were both vetted by Khamenei, but if they were the same, then why was the election tampered with by Kamenei? Iran’s Guardian Council has, in fact, reported that in 50 cities, there were more votes than voters. Another political analyst has also studied the published results of the election and stated that there is evidence of human tampering.
Four Parts to Batebi’s interview:
Robert Spencer and Islamic scholars were quick to note the verse that Obama quoted in his Cairo speech. The text”according to Aaron Klein, Jerusalem branch of WND is, as follows: “As the Holy Quran tells us, ‘Be conscious of God and speak always the truth.’ That is what I will try to do – to speak the truth as best I can, humbled by the task before us, and firm in my belief that the interests we share as human beings are far more powerful than the forces that drive us apart.”
Obama was quoting from chapter 9 verse 119 of the Quran, which deals with the theme of not abandoning Muhammad. Now, the next verse 120 always accompanies that verse: “Neither the dwellers of the city, nor the Arabs around them, shall seek to stay behind the messenger of Allah (when he mobilizes for war). Nor shall they give priority to their own affairs over supporting him. This is because they do not suffer any thirst, or any effort, or hunger in the cause of Allah, or take a single step that enrages the disbelievers, or inflict any hardship upon the enemy, without having it written down for them as a credit. Allah never fails to recompense those who work righteousness.” The two verses taken together usually mean to scold the Muslims for not following the Holy War, or jihad.
The actual verse quoted by Obama usually taken to mean: “First that you should follow the truth of Allah, but in specific to follow those who are in jihad with the prophet in spite of the great heat of going to war.”
Clumsy? I doubt it. This speech has been in the planning for months. What I am surprised about is that Obama did not deliver the speech in Arabic.
Hat Tip Dale Tones
Everyone is wondering where Obama studied history, if at all. My theory is that his early primary education is stamped firmly in his limbic system. Thursday’s speech in Cairo by Obama was full of blatant lies about Muslims contributions to American history, according to many historians. Ref. Mr. Obama said: “They [Muslims] have fought in our wars. They have served in our government. They have stood for civil rights. They have started businesses. They have taught at our universities. They’ve excelled in our sports arenas. They’ve won Nobel Prizes, built our tallest building and lit the Olympic torch. And when the first Muslim American (Keith Ellison) was recently elected to Congress, he took the oath to defend our Constitution using the same holy Koran that one of our founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson, kept in his personal library.”
Obama did say they built the world’s tallest building, Burj Dubai in 2008, (after they destroyed the Towers, which was then the tallest before 9/11.)
Our friends at Canada Free Press pointed out “no Muslims were among the passengers on the Mayflower…(our) country’s first declaration of war was against the forces of Islam in the form of the Barbary pirates…few Muslims numbered among the 12 million black Africans who were shipped to the New World from the 17th to 19th centuries. The Muslims, in fact, were not the slaves but the slave traders…no record of any Islamic American among the enlisted and conscripted forces of World War I, let alone among the blue and grey armies of the Civil War.” They worked alongside Hitler in WWII.
And, lastly, Thomas Jefferson kept the Koran as a reminder of whom the US was dealing with, and he was the President who refused to pay a tax to the Muslims, and sent the Marines to rescue the hostages in Tripoli.
“…that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise.” (Jefferson)
Pamela Geller: ”Obama’s speech was a lesson in taqqiya (lies to advance Islam). He called Islam a force of religious tolerance and racial equality ….. in the face of all the barbarism. He stated that “Muslims have enriched the U.S. and have won Nobel prizes.” They have, in fact, received less than a handful of the international Nobel prizes. It is an interesting point to make, considering the glaring omission of the Jews contribution to humanity. The Global Islamic population is approximately 1,200,000,000, or 20% of the world population.” They received 7-9 Nobel Prizes. Compare this to “The Global Jewish population is approximately 14,000,000, or about 0.2% of the world population.” The Jewish population received 184 Nobel Prizes.
John Quincy Adams, said about Islam, according to Apologetics Press:
“In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar(Muhammad), the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.”
The Israeli people elected a very pro-Israeli government that plans on protecting the people of Israel, as opposed to other candidates who offered appeasement to the Muslims as a political agenda. So, today, according to the Jerusalem Post: “Michael Ben-Ari (National Union) and Esther Pollard, the wife of convicted spy Jonathan Pollard led a group of 200 protesters outside the US consulate.”
Peace Now, which is protective of the so-called friendship between the US and Israel has called upon Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to rebuke the protesters. However, Nadia Matar, one of the protesters claims that Barack Hussein Obama is no friend to Israel and has no place to tell the people of the Biblical land of Jerusalem what they can or can not do with their country. Ms. Matar says that Obama “can not appease the Muslim lust for conquest.”
The Muslims claim Jerusalem as a Holy Place because they claim that Muhammad rose to Heaven from there. One of Obama’s close friends, Rashid Khalil, Ph.D. wrote, according to Israeli Palestine in the introduction to K.J. Asali’s 2000 Jerusalem in History: “According to Islamic tradition, it was the second caliph, ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab, who recognized this location as marking the site of the Prophet’s night journey…At the southern end of this platform the caliph ‘Umar ordered the erection of the first of several structures to bear the name of al-Masjid al-Aqsa, the al-Aqsa Mosque, adjacent to which his successor ‘Abd al-Malik was to build the Dome of the Rock a few decades later.”
Former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General John M. Shalikashvili wrote in the N.Y Times, in Jan 2007: “I now believe that if gay men and lesbians served openly in the United States military, they would not undermine the efficacy of the armed forces. Our military has been stretched thin by our deployments in the Middle East, and we must welcome the service of any American who is willing and able to do the job.” His opinion was based on ” Zogby poll of more than 500 service members returning from Afghanistan and Iraq, three quarters of whom said they were comfortable interacting with gay people.” He felt that it might take some time, but that it would be possible that “gay men and lesbians will no longer have to conceal who they are, and the military will no longer need to sacrifice those whose service it cannot afford to lose.”
So, somehow since there is a great “Liberal-in-Chief” now, one highly trained West Point graduate and decorated officer “came out of the closet.” Lt. Dan Choi, according to Tower Road, is part of “the group of 38 West Point graduates (Knights Out) who came out of the closet in March 17,2009.” He is fluent in Arabic, which has allowed him to defuse some explosive encounters. He was terminated on April 23rd from the National Guard for “dereliction of duty…(and) homosexual conduct by the Department of the Army.”
CNN published his open letter to Obama and Congress on Monday, 5/11/09, in which he said: “the Cadet Honor Code demanded truthfulness and honesty. It imposed a zero-tolerance policy against deception, or hiding behind comfort.” He said that, as an infantry officer, he was not used to begging, but he was begging them to repeal the “Do Not Ask, Do Not Tell” Policy and not to fire him.
In another incident, Sandy Tsao, an Army officer in St. Louis, received an encouraging handwritten letter from Obama, according to Think Progress, but Obama said that it would take some time to pass through Congress.
However, according to Aaron Belkin, “A new study, about to be published by a group of experts in military law, shows that President Obama does, in fact, have statutory, stroke-of-the-pen authority to suspend gay discharges. Obama could simply invoke his authority under federal law (10 U.S.C. §12305) to retain any member of the military he believes is essential to national security. Or he could take advantage of a legal loophole. The “don’t ask, don’t tell” law requires the military to fire anyone found to be gay or lesbian. But there is nothing requiring the military to make such a finding. The president can order the military to stop investigating service members’ sexuality.”
He’s supposed to be a lawyer, why didn’t he figure this out himself? According to Washington Times, it’s just not a “top priority” for him.
This gentleman, John T. Simpson wrote that Ronald Reagan was more of a friend to gays and lesbians, and, when California was trying to ban gays and lesbians from teaching jobs, the Gipper wrote an op-ed: “Whatever else it is, homosexuality is not a contagious disease like the measles. Prevailing scientific opinion is that an individual’s sexuality is determined at a very early age and that a child’s teachers do not really influence this”…”In taking the bold stand he did, candidate Reagan completely alienated the right wing in California, which blamed him for both the Prop 6 defeat and John Briggs’ primary loss. It was an act of political courage on Reagan’s part that might not only have cost him electoral vote-rich California, but the Presidency itself…Based on Reagan’s record, I believe The Gipper would have put a stop to the (Iraq Gay Holocaust) and ordered American troops to hunt down the death squads, as American GIs once hunted down the SS ‘werewolves’ in postwar Berlin. I also believe he would have pummeled al-Maliki’s Shiite government over the issue as well. Which only makes the silence by the Obama Administration and Congress on this issue more profoundly deafening. O Gay Rights Hero President, where ARE you?” “Where is our Gay Rights Hero President on our American tax dollars subsidizing a Gay Holocaust?”
There’s already been a swift condemnation from Pope Benedict XVI of Obama’s policy of funding of worldwide abortions. He called him “arrogant.” Now, as you all know there is another lineup of Good vs. Evil with the expected commencement speech of Obama on Sunday at Notre Dame. There has been a a petition signed and sent to the Holy See and also a commitment by donors to withhold their contributions to the tune of 13.2 million dollars, so far, according to Replace Jenkins. Father John Jenkins is the President of the University who foolishly made the invitation without consulting his superiors. While the University supports academic freedom, the graduates and its charter “believe that the truths revealed by Christ through His Church must be taught and defended by a faithful Catholic University.”
Tom O’Toole said that “Notre Dame, because of its French founding fathers and grotto, is usually associated with Our Lady of Lourdes…ninety-two years ago, it was three young children, aged seven to ten, (Lucia, Francisco, and Juanita) who were Our Lady of Fatima’s foot soldiers in the war against the secular rulers of Portugal and the godless forces of the early 20th century…(and)Mary urged the Fatima children (to) say the Rosary every day to earn peace for the world and the end of war.” O’Toole says “may we all, young and old, pray that our present Pope Benedict XVI (in conjunction with South Bend bishop, John D’Arcy) act at Notre Dame and save our Church—and our country—for real.”
Here “Real Catholic TV’s Michael Voris is telling us that the Vatican itself is on the verge of stepping in to stop the South Bend sacrilege.“
Next month Obama will travel to Cairo and he has been invited to speak at Egypt’s Al Azhar mosque. The Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa has invited him to speak at the mosque where no other “non-Muslim” has ever spoken before. The Al Azhar University, Sunni Islam’s foremost seat of learning, houses the mosque and was founded by a descendant of Muhammad’s daughter in 975 A.D.
The Grand Mufti is touted as being very “liberal” and modern, having proclaimed that men and women are equal and that the so-called the book introduction to the anti-semitic “Protocols of the Elders of Zion (attributed to him) is a forgery.” There is some disagreement as to whether he is anti-semitic, but he flatly denies it on his website.
He furthermore states “for Muslims, jihad is much more than armed struggle against an enemy from the outside for it includes constant struggles within both oneself and one’s own society…Once, upon returning from a battle, the Prophet Muhammad said to his companions, “We have returned from the lesser jihad to the greater jihad; the jihad of the soul.” Once, upon returning from a battle, the Prophet Muhammad said to his companions, “We have returned from the lesser jihad to the greater jihad; the jihad of the soul.” So, he sees it as a spiritual war between the higher and the lower self.
So, his publicists say, beware of making a comparison between the Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa and Hitler’s close associate and ally, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Mohammad Amin al-Husseini. That doesn’t mean that I believe Obama is pro-Israel, nor do I believe he is a Christian. According to Times Online UK, Dr. Gomaa stated that “extremists declaiming in mosques and via the internet that the only legitimate Islamic form of government is a restored “Caliphate”, such as that which stretched from Fez to Samarkand 500 years ago, are simply wrong.”
However, some critics have stated that because he was appointed by a secular dictatorship, his remarks are tainted; he is not really free to speak. Others have remarked that his Wiki profile is heavily doctored. It is obvious that there will be questions. According to Gulf News, he did state that Muslims who change their faith should be punished. According to United States Action, the Grand Mufti “supports the terrorist group Hezbollah, thinks that Sharia law is the answer to “extremism,” views that “social violence is the result of the secularists’ attempt to impose their principles upon society,” is quoted as calling Israeli Jews “blood-suckers,” is quoted as calling for the denial of freedom of religion, calls for the death penalty for adultery, and takes a relativistic view towards wife-beating.”
