United States: Blood for Money Scheme

17 December 2009
by HRM Deborah

US Federal officials visited the Thomson Correctional Center in Thomson, Illinois, about 150 miles (240 kilometers) west of Chicago on the 16 November 2009. The Obama administration officials are considering the now minimum security Illinois prison as a possible location to house alleged foreign terrorism suspects moved from the Guantanamo Bay Concentration Camp in Cuba.

The plan being considered for the Thomson Correctional Center, pitched by Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn in a recent meeting with US President Barack Obama, calls for the Federal Bureau of Prisons to operate it as a maximum-security “prison” and lease a portion to the US Defense Department to house an estimated 200 Guantanamo detainees. The plans could include a purchase of the facility by the federal government, Quinn said.

Which this comes at a time when the small economic depressed town of about 600 people seems excited towards a minute opportunity to work at the facility if it does comes into reality for the contention that the US military as in Guantanamo Bay will still be the overseers, which such as this on US soil brings once again into International legal focus of not just an actual populated concentration camp there and not a normal prison setting; but the continued noncompliance of the majority of innocent political hostages being held not just currently on Cuban soil; but now possibly within the US itself.

It also stands into question of the same practices of torture, religious discrimination, murder and other human rights violations will be initiated at Thompson and when will the US Concentration Camp system cease.

Obamanomics: 1 in 6 Americans live in poverty, revised estimates say

20 October 2009
By Hope Yen

The level of poverty in America is even worse than first believed.

A revised formula for calculating medical costs and geographic variations show that approximately 47.4 million Americans last year lived in poverty, 7 million more than the government's official figure.

The disparity occurs because of differing formulas the Census Bureau and the National Academy of Science use for calculating the poverty rate. The NAS formula shows the poverty rate to be at 15.8 percent, or nearly 1 in 6 Americans, according to calculations released this week. That's higher than the 13.2 percent, or 39.8 million, figure made available recently under the original government formula.

That measure, created in 1955, does not factor in rising medical care, transportation, child care or geographical variations in living costs. Nor does it consider non-cash government aid when calculating income. As a result, official figures released last month by Census may have overlooked millions of poor people, many of them 65 and older.

According to the revised NAS formula:

--About 18.7 percent of Americans 65 and older, or nearly 7.1 million, are in poverty compared to 9.7 percent, or 3.7 million, under the traditional measure. That's due to out-of-pocket expenses from rising Medicare premiums, deductibles and a coverage gap in the prescription drug benefit.

--About 14.3 percent of people 18 to 64, or 27 million, are in poverty, compared to 11.7 percent under the traditional measure. Many of the additional poor are low-income, working people with transportation and child-care costs.

--Child poverty is lower, at about 17.9 percent, or roughly 13.3 million, compared to 19 percent under the traditional measure. That's because single mothers and their children disproportionately receive non-cash aid such as food stamps.

--Poverty rates were higher for non-Hispanic whites (11 percent), Asians (17 percent) and Hispanics (29 percent) when compared to the traditional measure. For blacks, poverty remained flat at 24.7 percent, due to the cushioning effect of non-cash aid.

--The Northeast and West saw bigger jumps in poverty, due largely to cities with higher costs of living such as New York, Boston, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The Census Bureau said it expedited release of the alternative numbers for this month because of the interest expressed by lawmakers and the Obama administration in seeing a fuller range of numbers. Legislation pending in Congress would mandate a switch to the revised formula, although the White House could choose to act on its own.

Arloc Sherman, a senior researcher at the nonprofit Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said that because the revised formula factors in non-cash government aid, the amount of increase in poverty from 2007 to 2008 was generally smaller compared to the current measure.

"Food stamp participation rose during the first year of recession and appears to have softened what could have been an even greater increase in financial hardship," he said.

Sherman said the revised formula could take on greater importance in measuring poverty for 2009 as more Americans take advantage of tax credits and food stamps under the federal stimulus program. Food stamp assistance currently is at an all-time high of about 36 million.

Obamanomics: Social Security Freeze Means Seniors Must Scrimp

Retired US truck driver Frank Ferrira, 90, talks about social security Thursday, 15 October 2009 at the Pembroke Pines, Fla. Southwest Focal Senior Center. There will be no cost-of-living increase for more than 50 million Social Security recipients next year, the first year without a raise since automatic adjustments were adopted in 1975.

PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. – If her check were bigger, 76-year-old Agnes Conti might be able to spring for a better cut of meat for her pot roast. She could afford to send her nine grandchildren more than $20 for their birthdays and Christmas. She'd be able to buy some nice new clothes, like she sees on QVC, not what she settles for at Walmart.

If only. The government has said the Social Security checks Conti and tens of millions of other seniors rely on as their primary source of income will not increase next year as consumer prices have fallen overall. And while the retired hospital clerk will get by, she'll be watching her spending even closer, knowing she can't expect the annual raise she's been accustomed to.

"We were good citizens all our lives. We went to work, we lived by the book, we weren't on welfare, we didn't ask the city for anything," Conti said while taking a break from crafts at a senior center here. "And what do we get?"

At the Southwest Focal Point Senior Center in this Fort Lauderdale suburb, seniors lamented the cost-of-living freeze and praised a White House plan for $250 checks to soften the blow. But they took all of the news in stride, saying they've had a lifetime of experience living on a fixed income and would manage with the money they currently receive.

Frank Ferreira sits in the center's lobby, near a decorative fireplace and an autumn centerpiece. The 90-year-old retired truck driver loves to sing, even practicing on a karaoke machine at home, and loves to dance even more. He gets about $890 a month from Social Security, most of which he hands over to his daughter to help pay his share of the bills.

The money isn't the biggest issue, Ferreira said. It's the message the government is sending about caring for seniors.

"I could use a little more, but that's all right, I get along," he said. "But I think that we deserve it, the elderly. You can't just discard them. You've got to help them."

Nearby, 89-year-old Miriam Danzinger is shuffling along with a walker. She gets about $1,300 monthly in Social Security, and after rent and other expenses, including a MediGap plan, she has little to spare. Her daughter helps pay her bills.

When her Chevrolet Cavalier broke down a few months back, Danzinger was forced to give it up. When she goes to the store, she's thrifty, having learned how to cut grocery costs when she ran a coffee shop. She lives as simply as possible.

"Listen, there's no money. People are going hungry," she said. "But what can I say? I'm only a little ant."

The freeze in next year's checks is the first since automatic Social Security cost-of-living increases were adopted in 1975, and follows a 5.8 percent increase in January, the largest since 1982. By law, the adjustments are pegged to inflation, which is negative this year because of lower energy costs.

The Obama administration plan to send $250 stimulus payments to about 57 million seniors, veterans, retired railroad workers and people with disabilities, would amount to a roughly 2 percent raise for the average Social Security recipient. If approved, the checks would cost about $13 billion, though there is no plan yet how to finance them.

While seniors here have grown used to the annual raises, many of them said they're willing to cut the government some slack given the recession and the federal deficit.

"When they have the money, they give us the raise. If they don't have it, they don't have it," said Lucy Polieto, a retired waitress who lives in Southwest Ranches. She wears a glittery gold sweater and chains around her neck, and walks with a spry bounce that belies her 94 years. "Sometimes, I'm so surprised when I look at the check and I get a raise."

The news this week that checks would be stagnant is buffered by some positives: Seniors won't be getting any less than they already do, most recipients' Medicare part B premiums will freeze as well, and the president's plan could soften the blow. But because the one-time stimulus payments won't be a lifetime raise, it means many seniors will never see what amounts to thousands of dollars.

For those in poverty, the raise could have made a huge difference. But for the average senior simply living on a fixed income, it is seen less in dollars and cents, and more in the tangible costs they might be more careful with.

Polieto cooks eggplant, chicken cacciatori and pasta fazool. A raise could have given her more leeway with her grocery bill.

"Then I could buy some steaks, maybe," she said. "But I'd rather have a pork chop."

Everybody Knew His Name, Teddy

This file photo shows the Kennedy brothers, John F. Kennedy, left, Robert Kennedy, and Ted Kennedy, right, in Hyannis Port, Mass.

On 18 July 1969, Edward Moore (Nicknames: "Ted" or "Teddy") Kennedy in an attempt to shut up an affair and remove a problem that was felt would harm his political career with this pregnant young unmarried woman, who was carrying Ted Kennedy’s unborn child; while in the early evening, not the late hour originally claimed by Kennedy of 11:15 p.m. Kennedy drove with intent, his 1967 Oldsmobile Delmont 88 off a Chappaquiddick (Martha's Vineyard, Mass.) bridge and it overturned in the water, where Kennedy left the submerged car leaving intentionally because he never planned on helping the woman, left a very pregnant Mary Jo Kopechne to drown.

As stated by sources, Kennedy contacted his brother’s Robert and John Kennedy on what to do about Mary Jo after he had fled the crime scene; but intentionally failed to report the incident to the authorities until the car and Kopechne's body were discovered the next morning.

From President Kennedy's birthday gala where Marilyn Monroe sang the famous televised "Happy Birthday, Mr. President;" which some biographer’s claimed Marilyn was intoxicated while singing.

Earlier in the evening of the previous day, their had been numerous bouts of drinking and allegations of illegal drugs consumed. Which over the course of Kennedy’s life, he would have numerous affairs or classified a womanizer like his brothers Robert and John ( who's famous "embarrassing" affair with Marilyn Monroe, who many has classified her death as murder on 5 August 1962); but also Kennedy's severe bouts of obsessive drinking over the years.

While Kennedy was never charged with homicide, but rather went by the public view of the time, as being swept under the carpet; too many people that lived during this time still have felt that Kennedy was guilty of two counts of homicide.

What is ironic, a funeral for Mary Jo Kopechne was held on 22 July 1969, at St. Vincent's Roman Catholic Church in Plymouth, Pennsylvania, which was attended by Kennedy, who was also Roman Catholic. She is buried in the parish cemetery on the side of Larksville Mountain. Mary Jo, was only 28 years-old.

This is the legacy, that Ted Kennedy is actually most known for by many from that time, which has actually overshadowed his political career; until the day he died 25 August 2009, at 77 years-old.

I have always remembered this homicide case, due not just to the fact in was a premeditated homicide; but the horror of purposely letting a young woman, with an unborn baby drown to death. -HRM Deborah

Carter the International Grifter

Former US President Jimmy Carter gives the old 'Grifter' signal as he is leaving by the back door of the White House after a morning meeting with current US President Barack Obama in Washington on 18 March 2009.

Since that day, Carter has made his share of trips to the Middle East; especially Israel with the US unscrupulous foreign policies tacked as grib notes to the loop of his belt; instead of the US making their peace with the Muslim and Jews throughout the world and even going so far now to focus or attack Muslim and Jewish youth with this unacceptable behavior.

Doesn’t the US think 109 years of this unscrupulous shady behavior of war, lies and death is enough; apparently, not or did they ever here the phrase, ‘Conquest is futile?”

To yet, the idea, that the Middle East is wise, to a bad US con job and even we know a good Grifter wears a suit.

But as to Carter’s variety of ‘shell game,’ he is an ‘enforce intimidator;’ if something is not going in the direction the US wishes for instance of forcing US democracy ideals on a country that doesn’t wish this form of political system or cram the US brand of Middle East policies down the throat; send Carter.

Crime Actually Doesn't Pay

The Bonnie (Parker) and Clyde (Barrow) car riddled with bullet holes after the ambush on 23 May 1934 on a highway near Sailes, Louisiana by US law enforcement officers; as bank robbers, even they knew they would be eventually caught one day or killed; but they where bent to defy US federal laws and the crime statistics of the 1930’s.

Also, in US history of the 1930’s Great Depression, the ‘Grifter’ was a dime a dozen, from every type of con, bank robbery to racketeering one could imagine, to even by some be romanticized in ‘Americana’ and while this has not actually diminished so much since that time; with the current US financial crisis this type of criminal activity is hitting the status of vogue within the American society once again as it did in the 1930's; which must be keeping the 'bunko' section of the police department, it is assured very busy.

Who's Got the Tar?

There is also a time in US and European history where a person who was very unacceptable would be tar and feathered upon the majority of the person; to be further, either ridden out on a 'rail' (railroad rail) or just forced out of town in this condition, usually by an angry mob. A very unpleasant way of saying, one was not only a criminal or extremely immoral; but tremendously unacceptable or unwelcome in a particular town, city or in Carter‘s case; country.

As to how to apply, the rather warm tar was usually applied first, so the feather's (a lot of chicken feathers were used) would adhere to the person in question. As to the removal, it was very difficult and uncomfortable.

As to where crime leads a person as far as Paradise (Heavens) is concerned, they do not even reach the 'heavily guarded front gate' of the firmament; but yet, the gates to hell is assured to be open and waiting.

Nippon Lantern’s of Remembrance

A Nipponese (Japanese) girl prepares to release a paper lantern on the Motoyasu river in remembrance of atomic bomb victims on the 64th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima 6 August 2009. Seen in the background is the gutted A-bomb dome.

The dropping of the first atomic bomb was severely condemned by Pakistani Sunni Muslims yesterday, by the United States for committing such horrendous act upon the people of Nippon (Japan); while something of this nature should not be forgotten, it still should be remember that the only atomic bomb’s ever dropped was only by the United States and no such event has occurred since.

Even in an age, when allegedly there is many of these similar devices; while an initial bombing is devastating, the fall-out half-life causes health effects and other problems for generations; which is still being seen in not just Hiroshima, but also in Nagasaki. Nagasaki was bombed by the United States on 9 August 1945, just three days after Hiroshima.

Previous to these events and ensued into war, the United States had imposed what some had considered as life threatening sanctions upon Nippon (Japan) and afterward an oppressive occupation, which the United States at the time, was calling ‘the rebuilding of Japan.’

Pakistani Sunni Condemns US for First Atomic Bomb

Activists of Pakistan's hardline Sunni party Jamaat-e-Islami shout slogans at a rally in Karachi on 6 August 2009 condemning the United States for dropping the world's first atomic bomb on Hiroshima 64 years ago.

Japan marked 64 years on 6 August, since Hiroshima was hit with the world's first atomic bomb attack; with a questionable call for a nuclear-weapons free world, by the current US President Barack Obama.

A second atomic bomb was dropped by the United States on 9 August on Nagasaki, which the death toll of these two attacks is estimated at 220,000 dead and the effects are still causing health issues to people in Japan.

Their has not been one atomic bomb attack since, what the US did to the people of Japan.

US Child Prostitution Epidemic

Child Prostitution has became a rising epidemic in the US, the program NOW on PBS visits Atlanta, Georgia to see how one American city is handling the tragic phenomenon of child prostitution. It is one of 27 American cities where the problem seems to be spinning out of control.

This is not just girls on the street, but is a growing Internet business; is just one of the many growing immoral aspects occurring within the US.

While any type of relations with a child is a felony in the US, it has fallen to the wayside as immorality continues to grow beyond what is acceptable within any society; which also alcoholism and the rampant drug industry are still in runaway proportions, inter mixed with the prostitution problem.

"[The child prostitutes are] ten or 11 years old, and the age is getting lower. We're not talking about 17 and 18 and 19 year old's, although we could," Atlanta's Mayor Franklin says.

From billboards, adult bookstores, to every facet form of advertising is being promoted that this type of behavior is being perpetrated that any type of illicit immorality is acceptable and while women are usually targeted with this type of situation; children are now the growing targets, which previously within some US court cases of men molesting babies, who later many died.

Not just Child Prostitution, but the whole foundation of morality has crumbled and immoralty within the US is spinning out of control.

"Obama, NO you Can't"

I Saw It In The News?

by HRM Deborah

If one picks-up a newspaper at their favorite stand or turns on their television, even just in channel surfing mode; one will see and not by chance, articles and images of different things that are either not occurring, pointing fingers in the wrong direction of perpetrators of violence or just make believe of an internal war, too other things occurring for instance; such as the non-existent Gaza Siege.

To put this in a further perspective, the US in their collaboration hand-holding with the Canaanites does this to create non-existent falsifications or just flat out lie to hide or commit crimes.

One very good example of this, is when the now past war was occurring, a very nice, extremely soft-spoken Sheikh I knew from the time I was a very little girl; in later years was murdered. Now one may ask, who did it or point a wrong finger; because of what they may have read in the US media and blanketed about the globe.

Now in those days if one would have opened their newspaper or by hand turned on their television, his death would have been reported by the US media; saying the Jews killed him and many without question in falsehood probably would have went along with it, not knowing in actuality of how many men, women and children where actually being murdered by the Canaanites; such as the Sheikh I just mentioned previously and one may ask why was this being done, in the most probable reason, the US in collaboration with the Canaanites to cover-up the real facts of the matter- US/ Canaanite genocide and war against Jews and Muslims not just within the country, but globally.

Even today, while the US brow beats and murders Jews and Muslims; does one in actuality hear the truth about the Canaanites in the US media or is the blame still being put on the Jews and Muslims in the world?

As one may further ask of when this collaboration did begin, to this writer’s knowledge it became a more organized situation about 1964. While the Canaanites may call themselves the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Army), the Palestinian Authority (the US/Canaanite Coup in an attempt to overthrow the countries government to allegedly being established about 1994 and was about the time peace negoitations of the previous war where occuring between HRM Zaytuna and Jewish Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin; who where later both assassinated in 1995) or Fatah; one need’s to remember, they are the same people with the same US/ Canaanite ideals.

Nippon's Lanterns of Remembrance

Visitors walk past paper lanterns during the Mitama (Soul) Festival at the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, on 15 July 2009.

More than 30,000 lanterns donated by citizens are displayed on the grounds during the four-day annual summer festival to remember the souls of Nippon's (Japan's) dead, from US severe sanctioned oppression upon Nippon; that developed into World War 2.

How Clinton Fractured Her Elbow

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton attends a meeting between US President Barack Obama and Colombian President Alvaro Uribe in the Oval Office of the White House 29 June 2009 in Washington, DC.

Clinton had fell down and fractured her elbow while in a state of extreme intoxication, on her way to the White House on 17 June. Which, it is a common scenario that Clinton has had an Alcoholism problem for a number of years while on and off the job, along with her husband Bill's up the political ladder adultery problem.

As to Clinton’s last global jaunt as US Secretary of State, she was significantly intoxicated throughout her trip and suffered extreme signs of Pancreatitis, such as her visible bloating disfigurement at that time; which Pancreatitis is highly contagious and anyone that had been in contact with her, should seek their medical care provider.

100,000 Americans die of alcoholism each year, which this type of addition does affect the brain and causes not just personal problem's, increase in crime and social problems; but job related problems due to impaired judgement, with numerous health related problems due to this form of addition.

Clinton Lost the Wagon

A very ill aggressive U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (2nd L) and Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Avigdor Lieberman holds a joint press conference at the U.S. State Department, 17 June 2009 in Washington, DC.

15 July 2009

As US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s recent bout of job absenteeism and her irrational behavior when she was at the White House recently, it is becoming more apparent that she is suffering from third stage alcoholism and as her condition deteriates, she will become much more unstable; this will not only affect her job performance, but extreme irrational behavior in every aspect in social endeavors and personal behavior such as being aggressive and grandiose can be seen and will continue too increase with uncontrollability.

Furthermore, her increase in alcohol which cause’s not just her increase in health issue’s, both mental and physical; but is more likely to foresee a much more increase in problems with the legal system.

It has been further found, that especially women and this does include those affluent in society, that has an alcohol or illegal drug problem; too eventually, as these diseases increase to be found as ‘skid row bag ladies;’ due in part to their incapacity to live normally and the ever increasing deterioration due to these particular problems.

On thing that should always be remembered about this addition as well as any type of illicit addition, is the person is prone to lying or does aggressively attack others to hide or attempt to cover-up the fact they have this particular problem; until the condition becomes so severe that they can no longer hide that they have an addition; such as alcohol.

Obama, the Islamophobic Anti-Semite

At the back dropped of a road sign, two agreeable men stand next to posters showing US President Barack Obama dressed in a Canaanite Qufiyyeh headdress which is reminiscent of the late global terrorist mass murderer Yasser Arafat and which the posters designated Obama as an ‘anti-Semitic, Jew-hater;’ due to Obama’s constant bombardment of anti-Semitic remarks on 14 June 2009; near the town of Bethlehem.

On into the late evening, anti-Obama protests from every facet of the Jewish and Muslim community resonated their feelings of Obama’s Nazi-style mistreatment, genocidal tendencies towards an ancient people and there country.

This comes at a time with the ever growing heat of animosity towards the continuous tyrannical US foreign policies of the Obama administration, but the outright racism and religious persecution of the Jewish people and the Islamic Ummah; not just in Israel herself, but across the whole spectrum.

As to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to have delivered his foreign policy speech at Bar-Ilan University on the same day in Ramat Gan, near Tel Aviv; had nothing to do with the protests nor the posters, it was strictly coincidental and nothing more.

As Muslims and Jews are apart of the fabric of the world, we have the same human right’s as everyone else; to live in peace, without threat’s, lies or bloodshed by the US and there conspirator’s.

Homeless and Starving in America

6 June 2009
by HRM Deborah

As the statistics came out on Friday, 5 June 2009 of US Unemployment reaching a staggering rate of 9.4%; which is about 1.4% higher then the 1930’s Great Depression and even staggering figure has came foreword of 12.4 million US children are at risk of starvation.

Some of these children are being equated of the countless photograph’s seen twenty years ago of what was occurring in Ethiopia of children so underfed that they where literally skin and bones, with the possible borderline of rickets; with some case's of fly’s embedded in some children’s eyes, as was reported by a children’s aid worker.

While some of these malnourished families are now homeless and some are living in homeless shelters; it is an ever increasing problem of not just single person’s; but whole families finding homeless on the street and the ever increasing tent cities.

While US President Barack Obama had pledged assistance by 2015, for the majority of these improvised American’s this is way to late for so many; especially with the further decrease of the American dollar and the ever rising cost of just basic necessities.

Update:

Climbing Unemployment Continues to Beat US

19 June 2009

The unemployment rate in the West jumped over 10 percent in May.

The Labor Department reported Friday that 48 states and the District of Columbia saw employment conditions deteriorate last month. The fallout from the longest ‘recession’ which the US claims in historical error as being “since World War II,” was the worst in Michigan as automakers cut tens of thousands of jobs. Its unemployment rate rose to 14.1 percent. With California at 11.5 and Nevada came in at 11.3 percent it was recorded; while Eastern states set record high's, like Vermont which claimed to be just bottomed out.

As quoted from Associated Press, “Joblessness is rising as companies lay off workers and turn to other cost-saving measures, such as trimming hours and freezing or slicing wages, to survive the recession. Housing, credit and financial problems — the worst since the 1930s — have sent the economy into a tailspin.”

“Factories, construction companies, retailers and financial companies are among the industries that have slashed the most jobs. U.S. manufacturers have suffered a double whammy: customers in the U.S. have pulled back along with foreign customers, who are dealing with their own economic troubles.”

As to US President Barack Obama’s Health Plan which with the ever increasing unemployment problems, because most American’s where covered by their employer and in some cases due to rising cost; employers in some cases dropping employee health care all together; this makes Obama’s plan a major bust, along with the fact that most American’s can not afford health care on their own; especially the elderly who have been suffering with this problem for years, with the ever increase of prescription cost. Which some elderly American’s have had to either pay for prescriptions and not buy food or buy food and do without needed medicines or health care.


The World Health Organization (WHO), in 2000, ranked the U.S. health care system as the highest in cost and it has continued to skyrocket especially in the last year due to the economic downturn, it goes without saying that the average American with the continuous economic collapse and increase, may have to forgo health care all together; which was also a critical situation in the 1930‘s, where home remedies where being more used to circumvent a doctor’s visit or in extreme only for emergency cases, which many still died over the debate of cost and some doctor‘s ill-efficiency.

As to the old argument that one on a good day in the 1930‘s, such as the instance of an American doing farm labor for a dollar a day with "luck" (because this type of employment was either temporary due to seasonal or not as common as people may think due to some US geographical locations); one need’s to remember a single loaf of bread was five cent’s and most people had to squeeze a little less money for the hope of flour to bake their own bread, because the average American even with the dollar wages could ill-afford the five cent loaf of "store-bought" bread. Which is so similar to the cost of living burdens the average American is facing today.

"Beep, Beep, Get out of the way; you road hog!"

Nevertheless, as Obama seems to thrive on his popularity or lack of with his alleged polls especially if people disagree with him; one has yet to be reminded of the promises never kept, the inept manner he has handled the variedness’ of circumstances both global and domestic in such a bumbling Mr. Magoo manner; one is yet, to wonder how he has kept from bumbling out a White House window only to find himself, face down on the lawn?

United States Awarded the Medal of "Oops"

Obama's "New Beginning"

Obama Disrespects Saudi King

Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud (C-R) and US President Barack Obama (C-L) review an honour guard during a welcoming ceremony at the King Khaled international airport in Riyadh on 3 June 2009.

In which Obama showed disprect towards the Saudi King by walking briskly in front of him, instead of staying beside the King or walk behind him; which is royal protocol.

This was found to be appauling by many within the Islamic world for Obama's lack of respect towards Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud; who also is the caretaker of the two holiest sites in Islam, Makkah and Medina.

The Lost Bird that Flew Out the Window

As to US President Barack Obama's claim to ties within the Islamic world because he had family that where Muslim, according to Islamic law the moment he became a Christian all ties where not only broken within the religion of Islam itself, but also his family; due to the fact he is not only classified as a dead person within Islam, but a traitor to the Islamic faithful.

As to Obama's claim of being for anything towards the Islamic world or the Middle East with the US's war-torn foreign policies, has proven to be just as false as though's who came riding in with sword before him.

If There was a Global 'Poll' Sack?

US President Barack Obama, would be sitting at the bottom of the burlap sack with former US President George W. Bush; trying to decide for the 100th time who will get out first due to there unpopularity.

New US passport rules take effect today

1 June 2009

United States authorities today began implementing laws requiring all travellers entering the country to possess a valid passport.

The new rules are part of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, which requires all Canadian and American citizens entering the US from Canada, Mexico or the Caribbean to produce passports or approved travel documents to US customs and Border Protection.

Previously, a photo ID or driver's licence was required.

Caribbean countries had earlier indicated that the new measure would severely affect their tourism sectors.

Approved travel documents include a regular passport, a new passport card, a trusted traveller card or an enhanced driver's licence proving citizenship of every traveller over the age of 16.

The new travel requirements are part of a wider initiative outlined by the Bush administration in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States.
