Obama and Justice Department Release Secret Bush Memos

Looks like Mr.’s Cheney and Bush have an exercise in temper control now that the Obama administration has chosen to release some very damaging documents!

Memos written for or by the previous administration and president.

What is here is totally revealing for the way the abuse of American civil rights are seen as totally acceptable, as well as the deliberate flouting of virtually all international laws regarding war, those captured, and any possible “terrorist” activities. This is totally sickening when you realize just how much abuse the government and some of the agencies used, could use, and that every single person living in the U.S. was under threat from being arrested WITHOUT any warrant!

The so-called “legal” opinions are outrageous! More to come later.

White Phosphorus Does Not Belong in Gaza City

I am furious with the Israelis now. They have GPS coordinates for the NGO agencies in Gaza City, they have knowledge of where NOT to fire, yet the fired white phosphorus on the United Nations Rights and Works Agency buildings, setting it afire. This means medicines sent by international governments, international donations are now burning.

Don’t even think of trying to convince me this is even possibly an accident! It cannot be, because the UN has been in constant telephone and internet contact with the Israeli government, it’s military forces, and above all, has given both the Palestinian and Israeli forces complete and detailed information.

This action infuriates me. The medicine is for the innocent kids who get injured, the women who flee bullets and get hit, and certainly the food and other goods are NOT, in any way, a threat to Israel.

Damnit! The Red Crescent  has also had their buildings hit. The only forces with white phosphorus arms are the Israelis, and the bombs that hit the Red Crescent buildings came from Israeli guns. Neither of these agencies have buildings that are unknown to anyone in this mess, yet both are hit!

John Ging has said, ” It is damn lucky that our staff did not get hurt, did not get killed or burned by white phosphorus bombs!”

There is absolutely NO excuse for using white phosphorus in civilian areas, especially those with extremely dense populations!

The international agencies in Gaza City are trying, desperately, to help with the crisis and the misery in that city, yet they are being targeted by the Israelis! This shows an utter contempt for any humanitarian aid, an utter contempt for international donors who give as much as possible to alleviate the misery and suffering. In short, the Israelis are telling the international community that they have NO regard for our donations, our own compassion, and are showing a huge lack of compassion themselves.

The Israeli representatives say there were Hamas firing from there, but that, like the attack on the Red Crescent/Red Cross building is pure fallacy. No-one from Hamas or any other fighters were even close to the building, and there has been a concerted effort to try to blame anyone else but the Israeli tanks and bombs for this. Phooey! This was a deliberate action to make sure any humanitarian help was blown, literally, away from the Palestinian people.

The Israeli forces just blew up our tax dollars, our humanitarian aid, and now they are trying to blame Hamas?  This is pure garbage.

The U.N. is demanding a complete investigation and prosecution of those who did this, and I completely agree.

I also think it is time foreign countries put sanctions on any humanitarian aid or funds for Israel until this is done.

Damn! This is totally unforgivable, even in “war”!

The Internet Is Superlative Communication

There has to be millions of Blogs just like mine, and with every voice comes communication on living, issues, ethics, and our own beliefs. With all this sharing of ideas, opinion, and voice, we all gain.

When all the young men refuse to kill for the sake of
peace, and when all the women forbid their men to kill for the sake of peace, and when you realize that no peace will come through killing, and that THE END DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE MEANS, and when you grow full and light with thoughts of peace, then there will be an end to war.

“Now, you are engaged, you will forgive the term, in a
meaningful dialogue. I hope you are engaged in a dialogue that is fun for you and creative. You are beginning to reach out and touch others, constructively, through the creativity of your own beings, and as you progress you will also discover your own abilities. As you help others so will you also be helping yourself, and as you carry on dialogues with other people so are you carrying on dialogues with yourselves and doing very well — all of you.”

“There is nothing more stimulating, more worthy of actualization, than the desire to change the world for the better.That is indeed each person’s mission (intently). You begin by workingin that area of activity that is your own unique one, with your own life and activities. You begin in the corner of an office, or on the assembly line, or in the advertising agency, or in the kitchen. You begin where you are. When you fulfill your own abilities, when you express your personal idealism through acting it out to the best of your ability in your daily life, then you ARE changing the world for the better.

“If you allow your spontaneity its own freedom, then you can quite happily have whatever you want. But spontaneity will also lead you to thoughts of love for others. It will lead you to realize that you cannot plunder your planet,and it will lead you to realize that as long as one person is starving then you are starving in ways that you are too ignorant to recognize.”

Time to think on the entire world, not just our own little corner of it.
