Fascist Obama Jails Framed Ill People's Lawyer Lynne Stewart

by ! Thursday, Nov. 19, 2009 at 7:54 AM

Almost every day we hear about another reactionary act by the latest fascist in the White House, Democratic millionaire, warmonger, death penalty promoter Obama. The latest is the fact that he refuses to drop the charges and dismiss the frame-up of 70-year-old seriously ill people's lawyer Lynne Stewart and her co-defendants but instead allows the 2d Circuit to immediately jail her. The protests must be loud and clear as this is fascism.

Almost every day we hear about another reactionary act by the latest fascist in the White House, Democratic millionaire, warmonger, death penalty promoter Obama. The latest is the fact that he refuses to drop the charges and dismiss the frame-up of 70-year-old seriously ill people's lawyer Lynne Stewart and her co-defendants but instead allows the 2d Circuit to immediately jail her. The protests must be loud and clear as this is fascism.

There is a protest in New York on November 18, 2009. See:
http://nyc.indymedia.org/en/2009/11/108288.html

For more information on her case, see:

This is clearly intimidation of lawyers who may possibly defend in particular the upcoming "terror" trials of the tortured victims of the concentration camp at Guantanamo and in general, all lawyers who do not support the government's lies and who defend the workingclass.

Obama is clearly having these illegal "terror" trials of torture victims so as to prepare support for attacking Iran to steal their oil. The 9/11 Inside Job, which these torture victims are falsely accused of perpetrating, was also a Reichstag Fire to prepare American support for murdering the people of the world to steal their resouces. Sooner or later, these pretexts are admitted to being just that. The phony Gulf of Tonkin incident of August 1964 that was Democratic President Johnson's excuse to escalate the murder of 3 million Vietnamese to steal their resouces and possibly invade China has now been admitted by the perpetrators, such as war secretary McNamara, to never have happened.

The revocation of breast cancer victim Lynne Stewart's bail on Tuesday, November 17, came one day after Obama's anti-women, anti-healthcare US Preventive Service Taskforce announced that contrary to proven procedures, women should not (1) self-exam their breasts for breast cancer and (2) receive mammograms until age 50. THIS IS GENOCIDE. Self-examination of breasts is the most common way women realize they have a problem. Mammograms, which are recommended starting at age 40, are also effective in catching breast cancer early and saving lives. For more on Obama's cost-cutting for his genocidal health plan and the public outcry against it, see:
"Denial of breast cancer screenings will have deadly consequences" By Joanne Laurier
18 November 2009, http://www.wsws.org/articles/2009/nov2009/mamm-n18.shtml

THIS IS THE SAME DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT WHO WANTS TO ENCOURAGE EPIDEMICS BY DENYING UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS HEALTHCARE WITH HIS TAX GIVEAWAY TO THE INSURANCE COMPANIES KNOWN AS HEALTHCARE REFORM. Obama's xenophobia (hatred of foreigners) and misogyny (hatred of women) stink like rotten meat.

And 64 Democrats voted to deny women abortion with his phony healthcare reform.

Obama's latest reactionary appointment, according to Democracy Now of November 17, is
"for the Chief Agricultural Negotiator in the office of the US Trade Representative, Islam Siddiqui [who] is currently a vice president at CropLife America, a coalition of the major industrial players in the pesticide industry, including Syngenta, Monsanto, and Dow Chemical."
See

This is why you must never vote Democrat or Republican at any level of office. This snake oil salesman did the usual Democratic Party routine of mouthing popular phrases while running for office, only to carry out the same reactionary capitalist class agenda when taking office. NO MILLIONAIRE CAN REPRESENT THE WORKINGCLASS.

If you want an end to this police state, if you want socialized medicine or single payer healthcare, free abortion on demand with no restrictions, abolition of the death penalty and much more, you have to vote Peace & Freedom Party or Green Party. See

This is clearly a case of political cover up and repression concerning the FBI 1993 WTC bombing.
It's the members of the FBI who recruited, supplied the materials and allowed the event to 'go live', who should be in cages.

Never took a civics class, eh?

by Skeptic Saturday, Nov. 21, 2009 at 2:36 PM

The author appears to be under the impression that a President can simply dismiss Federal criminal charges. This is false; a President has no such power.

In the case of someone who has been *convicted* of a Federal crime, a President *can* issue a pardon, which, while it spares the convict criminal penalties, nevertheless affirms that the person did in fact commit an offense. In cases where a President is convinced that a defendant has suffered a genuine injustice a pardon can be used as a sort of remedy, but the conviction still stands although the penalties are removed.

As for the rest of your pathetically uninformed rant, the new USPSTF guidelines are based on study of what contribution routine screening actually makes to lowering mortality among specific demographic groups. There's no reason to assume that they are the be-all-and-end-all word on the subject, as in science all knowledge is provisional and subject to revision as we accumulate data, but to go off screaming "GENOCIDE!" because they don't suit your preconceptions is utterly unjustified. That's the mentality that makes a good creationist- reject all evidence and knowledge that doesn't conform to a REVEALED TRVTH.

For the few readers capable of understanding that reality is not obligated to modify itself according to one's political beliefs, an informative discussion of the ups and downs of routine cancer screening, by a surgeon and clinical researcher specializing in breast cancer, can be found here:
