... reported that, "At least 59 soldiers and militiamen were killed and dozens wounded in clashes between the south Sudan army and militia groups..."

Better not tell the Administration. We have a "duty" to protect and police the world, yah know.

Also, don't tell the clueless idiots in Washington that rebels and government forces are fighting a pitch battle in the Ivory Coast... heads are being chopped off, gasoline poured on others and set alight (as reported and shown on Al Jazeera).

In other parts of Africa, women are being raped with impunity. Where do your draw the line, President Obama?

On Friday, Al Jazeera (not the US media mind you; keep us in the dark), reported that US drones killed 25 Pakistanis.

Of course we are also secretly involved in Yemen, soon probably in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia (now that would be fun), Iran (no doubt) and the list goes on.

Sorry to depress you all.

He explains perfectly why we should not have gotten involved this way.

Obama has nothing to say anymore about the way Bush went to Iraq. Now they BOTH are guilty of going to war UN-Constitutionally and illegaly.

46 dead protesters in Yemen in just one day and nobody talks about helping there -- same thing with Bahrain.
Oh I see both Yemen and Bahrain have American puppets in power -- Libya does not.

Hijacked Government

Submitted by knowmore on Sat, 03/19/2011 - 07:15. Permalink

2012 elections may be too late the way the things are heading.

No serious discussions about fixing the economy in congress
No serious discussions about debt
No discussions about ending wars and bringing troops home
No discussions about creating jobs

But when someone in the UN makes a statement about Libyan internal fight, Obama immediately starts third war that has nothing to do with US without any discussions or approvals. Our government has been hijacked for a while. We may not see 2012 fair elections.

...and the West is screwed. This is in an 'in your face' mentality and not many in the West really give a damn.

The thinking is...yeah, get the swine colonel. Who cares if he did not attack another country and is a foreign head of state. If these were the the pre-requisites then China should be attacked for invading Tibet and for its crimes against it citizens along with North Korea for attacking South Korea and Bahrain, Zimbabwe, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, Yemen, Pakistan, Russia, etc.;.heck, even Canada and Mexico should be even punished for the way it treats its native populations then and a no-fly zone should also be established over Mexico to stem the carnage in the border regions over the drug battles.

I am no fan of the colonel but this is a very slippery slope and before it was Serbia amongst other places. Lots more innocent lives will now be lost and the blood will be on the hands of the citizens of the West yet again.

Many are still regrouping from the carnage of Serbia and Bosnia and Africa and now this?

Yes, No Authority !

Submitted by emalvini on Fri, 03/18/2011 - 20:56. Permalink

There is no authority for this action in the Constitution. However, we are an empire now, because over the last 100 years we hsve sold our birthright to the globalists. We do not observe the Constitution anymore. The Congress, The Supreme Court and The President of The United States Are unprincipled degenerates. We are now a global empire with a U.N. World Body.

We don't have much time left to take back America from the globalists. I'm afraid it may be too late already. We don't have enough time to get to 2012, and i don't believe the globalists will allow us to mobilize our forces to get to 2012. They're going to pull the plug on the internet by Executive Order. Things are moving in the wrong direction too fast. The debt, the dollar, the police state grid, TSA, DHS, gun confiscation, etc. The Tea Party movement was decent but not hardly good enough to change things around politically. The leadership always remains intact and are still there controlling things. When the food shortages come and dollar goes into crisis, Marshall Law will be emposed and with it, the end all of our remaining Freedoms. Patriot groups will be indentified and disposed of leaving the compliant hypnotized zombies who will do whatever they can to save themselves from death. There will be chaos everywhere, Civil War, blood in the streets and foreign invasion and a last great battle for America will begin.

Most of us won't survive to see victory and a new America, but those that remain will rebuild her and Christ will remain to protect her for a thousand years.

Until then, go your way and hold to the principles that made our country great.

Remember, those that endure until the end will be saved.

In Liberty,

Well said, but it is actually Christ Consciousness that will remain to protect her for a thousand years.

Christ Consciousness
The human mind has spiritual currents running through its thought streams. These streams contain vital information from Spirit that is highly valuable to humans. Spirit is the source of everything TRUE, BEAUTIFUL, and GOOD and conveys these ideals through the human mind that intersect with a persons beliefs, helping the individual ascend into the higher information that uplifts and improves the quality of life.
In human life, spiritual growth is achieved by aligning with these spiritual currents that come from both the personality and mind of Spirit by intellectual assent and emotional devotion. Christ Consciousness is the growing human recognition and blending of the human evolutionary (or ego) mind with the Divine Mind and the Divine Personality that is the source of human happiness and fulfillment. This awareness accrues over time within the consciousness of human thinking when intention, attention, and openness is focused on knowing who and what is that christed state of beingthat higher mindedness of enlightenment.

have rendered congress useless and un-necessary. Nobody follows the constitution. They dare the American people to get pissed off. The question is, is it time to take the revolution up a notch? Are the people hungry enough and have lost enough to go for broke? When Dr.Paul has had enough of this crap, should we be fed up too? As Ron has pointed out...the so called "tea partiers" (who fooled many of us), haven't got the guts to stand up either. All is lost I'm afraid.

If we had Spec Ops teams all up in Libya before this UN vote..

Submitted by OnwardUpward on Fri, 03/18/2011 - 17:18. Permalink

then why didn't we just take Qadaffi out? Seriously, right or wrong that Spec Ops team were there, we didn't take the man out before this vote. Given the history of events once a No-Fly zone is created, it will take years, lots and lots of civilian lives, lots and lots of money, and lots and lots of diplomatic drama, and usually ends with a war to take the man out.

Why didn't they covertly just do it quickly. And why did Europe keep Qaddafi both alive and free for all these years and buy their oil from him for all these years, but NOW we in States have to spend all this money to keep up some stage play like this?
