VIDEO: Barack Obama Rally 2-20-07

by A Thursday, Feb. 22, 2007 at 10:43 AM

LOS ANGELES, February 21, 2007 - Senator Barack Obama spoke at a rally in the Crenshaw District on Tuesday. (He is running for president of the US.)

QuickTime movie at 12.5 mebibytes

An estimated 2,000 people attended the rally. The Senator spoke for about 30 minutes. Although brief and short on details, he did however say that the war in Iraq never should have been authorized and that the war has made the world less safe. He touched on the problem of global warming and suggested a national program of developing alternative forms of energy to fossil fuels.

He also spoke of a jobs and education program for people currently incarcerated in the prison system. He mentioned the rebuilding of New Orleans. He also proposed a national health care insurance program. The crowd was very enthusiastic. Cheering often and almost on cue.

The media turn out was massive, hundreds of corporate and independent media outlets were present. Campaign volunteers for press relations seemed overwhelmed by the large turnout. They run out of press passes and had to personally escort reporters past police lines.

After the speech there was a strange situation with the LAPD where fans of the Senator were blocked from following him on to another smaller rally for volunteers and VIPs.
Some people thought they were being blocked from leaving the rally unaware of the two other exits. The police even made things difficult for Rep. Diane Watson and her staff to get into this post rally. She was eventually let in.

There were others including press and many campaign volunteers that were denied access to this post rally by the LAPD. There was some shouting and pushing by police who seemed grossly over deployed for the event. The crowd was peaceful and the presence of so many police was unwelcome. This incident has not been reported in any other media outlet to my knowledge. It is unknown if the Senator is aware of the incident.

Barack Obama = more of the same

by Congress Watch Friday, Mar. 02, 2007 at 10:02 PM

If Senator Barack Obama is to break from the new world order elite and show himself to be something other than a business as usual Democrat, he should start now to stop the planned aggression against Iran.
Why doesn’t he back Rep. Defazio’s resolution that would require Congressional approval before an attack? How will he answer his critics when reminded that he encouraged voters to support the pro war Sen. Lieberman rather than the anti war Mr. Lamont in the Connecticut Senate race?

Wake up people. There is little difference between Republicans and Democrats.

Both are controlled by the pro war AIPAC lobby.

If you really want peace you will have to register and vote Green. www.gp.org

EVERYONE SHOULD SEE THE DOCUMENTARY “TERROR STORM” BY ALEX JONES. It exposes Government sponsored terrorism, False Flag Operations, the Pro-War Zionist Media and The New World Order.

Throughout history, criminal elements inside governments have carried out terror attacks and psychological operations (psy-ops) against their own populations as a pretext to enslave them. TerrorStorm reveals how, in the last hundred years, Western leaders have repeatedly murdered their own citizens while posing as their saviors.

This powerful documentary explores the mindset of the average brainwashed Westerner. It delves deeply into the systems of control which have been scientifically-crafted to imprison their minds and keep their eyes closed to the realities of the world around them.

Alex Jones has agreed to let everyone see “Terror Storm” under not for profit and for educational purposes free of charge. Jones should be commended for exposing the New World Order on such a large scale. His website is http://www.infowars.com

Please help us get Terror Storm to as many people as possible!

Terror Storm can also be viewed on-line here… http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=12638

What is a False Flag? …Committing an atrocious act and then blaming it on another party or nation. The point is to turn public opinion against an entity and have someone else fight your battles for you.

Will America demand that Israel surrender its illegal nuclear weapons and other WMDs before it can detonate one in the United States under another False Flag Operation?

David Ben-Gurion told Nahum Goldmann, the president of the World Jewish Congress:
“If I were an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country . . . We come from Israel, but two thousand years ago, and what is that to them? There has been anti-semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that?”


Must reads: Beyond Chutzspah, Finkelstein. A Pretext For War, Bamford. The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, Simons. Must see: Rachel - An American Conscience, Barakat.

About More Than AIPAC

by Alex Walker Monday, Mar. 19, 2007 at 6:15 AM
AlexCathy@aol.com

In the Post above, the author writes:

There is little difference between Republicans and Democrats. Both are controlled by the pro war AIPAC lobby.

The statement is true, but why stop at AIPAC? For the life of me I do not undesrand why some people obsess over this one little thing. I hate to say it, but this lends credibility to the claim that the "Left" is anti-semitic.

The real problem is that the Democrats and the Republicans are the one corporate party with two names and both commited to the exploitation and abuse of people and the planet... for money.

And that, gentle reader, is why you should go Green!
