It's a Mitzvah
A mere 12 hours after claiming the Democratic presidential nomination, Barack Obama appeared before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee yesterday -- and changed himself into an Israel hard-liner.
He promised $30 billion in military assistance for Israel. He declared that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps' Quds Force has "rightly been labeled a terrorist organization." He used terms such as "false prophets of extremism" and "corrupt" while discussing Palestinians. And he promised that "Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided."
Vowing to stop Tehran from getting a nuclear weapon, the newly minted nominee apparent added: "I will always keep the threat of military action on the table to defend our security and our ally, Israel. Do not be confused."
How could they be confused? As a pandering performance, it was the full Monty by a candidate who, during the primary, had positioned himself to Hillary Clinton's left on matters such as Iran. Yesterday, Obama, who has generally declined to wear an American-flag lapel pin, wore a joint U.S.-Israeli pin, and even tried a Hebrew phrase on the crowd.
Obama even outdid President Bush in his pro-Israel sentiments. On the very day that Obama vowed to protect Jerusalem as Israel's capital -- drawing a furious denunciation from the Palestinian Authority -- Bush announced that he was suspending a move of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem.

The transformation -- mostly in tone, but occasionally in substance -- might qualify as what Obama likes to call the same old Washington "okey-doke." And the candidate is uncomfortable with such things, as evidenced by his struggle to pronounce the name of the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. It came out as "Mahmoud . . . Ahmin -- Ahmeninejad."
The crowd of 7,000 loved him anyway. He received 13 standing ovations, more than twice the number granted the next act, Hillary Clinton. The AIPAC faithful gushed about his performance as they left the Washington Convention Center. "He doesn't even read! He has an extemporaneous delivery," one woman recounted, evidently unaware that Obama had read every word from a teleprompter.
Obama has his work cut out for him with American Jews, a crucial Democratic constituency that had largely favored Clinton. On the campaign trail, he routinely scolded Clinton for supporting a hard-line anti-Iran resolution that labeled the Revolutionary Guard terrorists. He also vowed to meet with figures such as Ahmadinejad during his first year in office, without precondition, and he voiced sympathy on the campaign trail for the Palestinian cause.
But the AIPAC crowd was ready to forgive now that Obama has the nomination. They stood to applaud for more than a minute when he entered the cavernous hall to music that could have been for a Superman movie soundtrack. He hugged and kissed his way across the dais.
He got right to the "provocative e-mails" that have been spreading lies about him being a Muslim plant and other such things. "Let me know if you see this guy named Barack Obama, because he sounds pretty scary," the candidate said, reassuring the crowd that he is "a true friend of Israel."
Indeed, he almost sounded as if he were Jewish. "I had grown up without a sense of roots," he explained. "I understood the Zionist idea, that there is always a homeland at the center of our story."
Somewhere off stage, an AIPAC hand brightened the lights over the audience when it appeared a standing ovation was building -- and Obama presented the audience with many such opportunities.
This Story
He invoked the Holocaust ("Never again!"), pledged to "never compromise" Israel's security, and scolded those who propose "abandoning a stalwart ally." He offered more military equipment and missile defense for Israel, vowed to "isolate Hamas," and threatened to "do everything in my power to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Everything in my power. . . . Everything."
The AIPAC crowd grew still when Obama slipped in mentions of his disagreements with their policies. But he was careful to revise and extend his controversial thoughts.
"Contrary to the claims of some, I have no interest in sitting down with our adversaries just for the sake of talking," he said of his talk-with-Ahmadinejad position. "I would be willing to lead tough and principled diplomacy with the appropriate Iranian leaders at a time and place of my choosing, if and only if it can advance the interests of the United States."
His criticism of the Iraq war also produced relative quiet in the room, as did his call for a "contiguous and cohesive" Palestinian state, and for Israel to "refrain from building new settlements, as it agreed to do."
But Obama's hard line found support from an unexpected source -- the woman who followed him to the microphone and who still hasn't conceded the nomination. "I know that Senator Obama will be a good friend to Israel," Clinton vouched.
This backing earned Clinton a lights-on standing ovation. But overall, the reception was relatively tepid for Clinton, and understandably so: She was no longer a viable candidate, and the winner of the nomination was sounding like Bibi Netanyahu as he spoke about preserving Israel's "qualitative military advantage" to thwart "any threat from Gaza to Tehran."

Israel's military action last year "was entirely justified," Obama said, to knock out Syria's "weapons of mass destruction" program. "The danger from Iran is grave, it is real, and my goal will be to eliminate this threat," he added.
The Superman music soon returned, and the man with the Star of David on his lapel left the dais in a shower of hugs and kisses from the AIPAC officers.

I am a believer in Obama's Change
He has changed from his leftist peacenik rhetoric during the election cycle to fall right in line as a rank and file neocon. This is hardly surprising. As soon as he had the Democratic nomination wrapped up, he felt empowered to go ahead and vote for telecom immunity for warrantless wiretapping. A large number of his supporters had urged him not to, but what could they do at that point? Now that he is president elect, he meets immediately with AIPAC and talks about going on an O-bomb-ing adventure in Iran.
Nobody could have said it more clearly. "Do not be confused." Obama is indeed a change artist - it's just not quite the same change that he had implied during his run for the presidency.

...dual-nationalist?...
Can anyone confirm that Emanuel is a dual-nationalist?
It would surprise me if he wasnt.
It's my understanding
that if the mother is Jewish and is an israeli citizen then all her offspring are Israeli citizens no matter where the children are born.
They are citizens of Israel and the country they were born in.
I believe Emanuel's mother is an Israeli citizen, even if she became an American national. Of course. this would make Emanuel a dual citizen.
I think It has something to do with the Israeli Law of Return.
There's also a rumor floating around that he is Mega.

"Yes, it's Change, as The One chooses his one, Congressman Rahm Emanuel (D-IL), to be his H.R. Haldeman. Emanuel is known for being smart and intense, mailing dead fish to people he hates, and freaking out at subordinates. Loving revenge, never forgiving a slight, and brooking no dissent, he's famous as an enforcer. Such figures are valued in the state (and the Mafia), if not in private society. Emanuel, with Pelosi's blessing, famously blocked antiwar Democrats from running for the House in 2006 (he controlled the money for new candidates). Emanuel is an advocate of endless war in the Middle East. No chickenhawk, during the Gulf War, he volunteered as a civilian worker for the Israeli army. His father Benjamin, a physician, was a guerilla fighter for the Irgun against the British occupation of Palestine. The Irgun, a secret insurgent group, is described by unfriendlies as a terrorist organization for such acts as bombing the King David Hotel and ethnically cleansing with extreme prejudice Arab villages. Rahm's mother, Martha, was a civil-rights activist and rock 'n roll nightclub owner in Chicago."

Yea, probably no change ... One in the same
Do some research, Zionist powers coined the term "Neo-Con"
Who was the first Neo-Conservative ... none other than Woodrow Wilson in 1914. He was the first to start the "preemptive war". Who was he taught by? What did he help get introduced into this country?
It doesn't mean we should condemn Barrak though. Everyone should write him a letter calling for a return of our troops. Who are we to judge him? Kennedy was not a hero to so many because he had such wonderful policies. He was a big screw up like the rest ... but he listened to the people eventually and said NO to the powers that be. He said he was going to atone for his mistakes. He wanted to end the war, told the American people what was going on, may have been scratching the FED, and began to acknowledge the wrongs being committed against the black people of this nation. Of course he got killed for it ... but we are in a different time now and things are a little different. The powers that be would have to think long and hard about how they would deal with Obama if he turned on them. This may be what the birth certificate ordeal is about.
Just something to think about. I know I will be writing him. Will it do any good, maybe not, but it won't do any harm. You have to explore all avenues against such an enormous predicament.

I knew this was coming ...
... I'm just breathless at how quickly it came. Wow! Wow! Wow!
Did you expect anything different?
There's a reason Obama was able to afford 30 minutes of network airtime. There's a reason he was able to raise the kind of money he could. You don't raise lots of money without kissing some wealthy butts in the process.
AIPAC is one of the biggest spending lobbyist groups there is, right up there with the trial lawyers and the banks.
Did you really anticipate true virture from Obama? He is a man who stands only on the principal of self promotion...no substance to speak of. He's a mouthpiece for whomever writes the checks.
The only thing that is going to change with President Obama is people are going to realize that collectivism will not save us.
We can use him as a example of what not to do with the power vested into the federal government.
Can we make Obama the poster child for mindless collectivism? YES WE CAN!

While I am not claiming that
While I am not claiming that the messiah is the Anti-Christ. I do find it of interest, if my memory serves me correctly, that the Anti-Christ will be a Jew. (Not to get all "religious" on the non-believers).
Now, the designation of Jew could mean, in my opinion, that he is of either the religious persuasion or, that he is descended from the house of Judah. In which case, his religious affiliation would have no bearing.
LOL Obama a descendant of Judah!!

Runs the show. Anyone who has done the least bit research knows who controls the banks which control the FED and other central banks of the world ... and thus controls the world. Everything of importance is owned by Zionist Jews. Oh no, I know, I'm Anti-Semitic now. Along with Jimmy Carter (who like ALL presidents carried out his allegiance to Israel while IN office) and anyone else that speaks the truth about So-Called Jews.
They have influenced nearly every presidential election ... and controlled everyone since 1914. Some history below for those who like history...
http://www.sweetliberty.o...
http://www.gtr5.com/
The same Zionists who are killing Palestinians daily trying to take their land are the same people who funded Columbus' expedition ... same ones who funded the slave trades to help fund (through sale of slaves) and build (through their labor) The United States of America. As well South America and other early Colonies in the western hemisphere. Don't take my word for it ... there are Jewish scholars who have recorded this.
Anyone who knows history, knows that this was coming. Every US president must back Israel and the war in the Middle East. Islam is the real enemy to them because Islam is too strong and they cannot penetrate their beliefs (though Islam fights amongst themselves, they would come together against an outside threat) as they have in the Christian world.
They twist the scriptures to make us think we must do anything {ANYTHING} to take the rest of the land from the Palestinians. Thus the propaganda against Islam with "Obsession" and nonsense like that. They want Christians to hate Islam so they have a large enough army to oppose Islam (which is disciplined against the practices of usury and preemptive unjust war).
Though those TRUE Christians and decent educated people in general who know both teachings, know how much the two have in common. And know as Dr Paul teaches, what is creating this "Islam extremist" movement ... is people (US and others) occupying THEIR land, bullying them, and even killing them.
Good important post ... hopefully people know the reason why this is going on or at least are researching it as I am still doing. Through the grace of God and knowledge of all people, no matter race, religion, or general beliefs ... we will wake up and stop letting these people pit us against one another and spread the word to those who are mentally dead to what is going on.
Well Said!
The Zionist state was an idea that was concocted in the late 19th century and put into action through the Rothschild dynasty. At the end of WWI Rothschild (Zionist/Illuminati) purchased the land known as the state of Israel from Britain and quietly after that a migration of Khazar and other Jews started pouring into the region. The Zionists knew it would create turmoil in the region and ultimately could create support for an the occupation. What do you think the Mossad gets its roots from. War by deception to create support for Israel at any cost.
I'd say it worked and is working pretty well.

Thank you ,folk theroy for pointing out racism, now look at ...
things objectively and realize....the same should apply to religious prejudice--Look at what the founder of the faith had to say BEFORE you make hasty accusations. Not all who claim to be Christians, only those who follow Jesus, and keep his word : DO good to those who harm you. Pray for those who despitefully use you....should be called Christians, the others are WINOS (Way-followers in name only)*
Libera me, let the truth break, what my fears make--Leslie Phillips
(*Followers of the Way was the original nickname for the Christians)
Racism???
Where am I or anyone pointing out Zionist corruption being racist? Accusations are made without proof. When you have PROOF of something being done, it is HISTORY/FACT.
I didn't see anyone say Christians are not accountable. I was replying to this particular topic which relates to Zionism. We can start a new thread and talk about the history of "so-called" Christians as well ... because as you point out correctly MOST are WINOS as you say.
The FACTS are the ones at the top of the Zionism are murders and don't care about anyone but their small circle. Now if you are a good person and still support a movement that is led by violence and murdering, manipulation and every other foul act, then I am sorry but you deserve to get called out too. Just telling it like it is.
Again everything mentioned is backed by historical FACTS. Whether from President Carter, to European politicians, to Jewish Rabbis ...
I'm an American, but again I do NOT support our policies and do NOT hold it against anyone who tells the truth about America. If I tried to shut them up then I would be assisting and not resisting. Please do not take offense Theory, if you are Jewish I am not against you. Jews and Arabs got along with one another living in Israel and Palestine before the "Jews" in Europe started this movement of aggression and force.
I would be glad to discuss what I have learned up to this point what white Christians have to atone for, but on a proper post that relates to that topic.
We all have to atone for something ... but if people are unaware of the facts, and what they need to atone for, how can we have peace?

"We shall have world government whether or not you like it, by conquest or consent." Statement by Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member James Warburg to The Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 17th, l950
I'm with Rhino on this..
When we don't see our own involvement then we can't progress and we get stuck in the 'why are they so evil' paradigm. They are evil because they have been rewarded for it. We must be willing to OWN our power, negligent and proactive. We can't expect to will others to behave better. We The People have the power in us to determine our elected leaders behavior, but we have lost our voice and given away our power. Now we want them to just be nice! We allowed them to have the power.
My pledge to myself ...
I recently came to a realization. It relates to what you are saying paulitics. It goes beyond government and oppressors and slavery and these things we talk about.
I have come to understand how I, myself, can make a true change. This is the most important step for all of us if we are to make any REAL change.
We must change ourselves. It's that simple. We can have all the knowledge of politics and systems and how everything needed to make change, but if we don't change ourselves, it is all for naught. You are half right. You cannot give people the all the knowledge of how to change for the better, and expect them to be better. You can will them to behave better if you do yourself. Not instantly, but slowly and surely. If you have 10 people in a room and 1 is acting out, chances are the other 9 will "will" him/her to behave right. But if 9 are acting out and one is behaving righteous, then bad behavior will reign, as it currently does.
So I have made a pledge to myself. How can I eat whenever I want when others starve? So I eat once a day now. How can I get angry and not make others angry? So I do my best to control my temper, and if I slip, I calm down and apologize. How can I understand others different from myself, if I do not study their culture and what makes them who they are. So I read, think, listen to/about other cultures and study history which has never been taught to me. These are the main things, but their are also many other smaller things I have changed as well. By changing these things and learning more about all history and cultures ... I am able to relate better with people, have true knowledge to back up things we may discuss, and have more understanding and compassion towards what they are saying. This will allow us to reach a greater number of people with our message of freedom and liberty and "will" them to be better people themselves.
Some may say, it sounds nice but it's not that easy. No, I never said it is easy. It's rather hard, especially at first. And to be honest ... religion had turned me away from God. Because religion is corrupted. But that doesn't make God not real. I call him Allah (GOD), if you are atheist, as I claimed to be for some time, call him your conscious. But have something to hold yourself accountable to. You have to know that you cannot act anyway you like and there will be no consequences. And remember the little things are the largest things. Big problems never come without a bunch of little ones creating it.
Of course I could be wrong and none of this is true, but it's true to me and self righteousness aside ... I would like to believe to some of us as well. Anyway, good point ... but we must educate ourselves on what are these little things that have created this big problem we now have ... thus the reasons for my other posts regarding this topic.
