Hannity turned against Syrian "rebels". Tea party leaders deeply suspicious of surveillance state. - Danaa

danaa, even if obama is a soulless, narcisistic, cia bred evil genius, which i believe, he still wants to be respected, if not adored like all narcisists. He still wanted a good legacy like Clinton, with Convention cheers for the next 30 years, best seller books, and six figure speaking fees. Even the most robotic obamabots can't rationalize away supporting cannibals in Syria on... more... - pepsi

I find this claim to be somewhat credible. - Sean McBride

"The bigshots say we should pay no mind to what the people in the country think." Chris Matthews takes on Bill Clinton and elite leaders who seek Syrian intervention in defiance of popular will

Since when does it matter to Matthews what Americans want? Why the sudden change? - Todd

Matthews has always been suspicious of and somewhat hostile to the neocons -- I am surprised he is still on MSNBC -- and that he hasn't been Phil Donahued. - Sean McBride

Perhaps a few of them. Some of them are enthusiastic proponents of and cheerleaders for the total surveillance state -- which they believe is working for their best interests. - Sean McBride

It is vital that Edward Snowden continue to speak in months and years to come. We need his leadership and vision

Nice essay by Phil. - Sean McBride

There are so very few issues where U.S. citizens have an impact, and the media types only start crying about democracy and the right of ordinary to have a say when a few journos are hit by the NSA. Both political parties are working together to make citizenship meaningless against the will of a large majority of the people who were never allowed to vote, and the Supreme Court overturned laws making it legal for states to require i.d. to vote. It looks like selective outrage and love of democracy to me. - Todd

In the last two days Haaretz and the New York Times have declared the two-state solution dead, and even Secretary of State John Kerry warns its days are numbered. The problem is that the media and U.S. politicians are afraid to image what comes next. Israeli politicians like Naftali Bennett (above) are less constrained. Bennett recently said of the two-state solution, "Never in the annals of Israel have so many people expended so much energy on something so futile.”

Liberal Zionists have led the program to promote the intentionally deceptive two-state solution -- all the while systematically sabotaging and obstructing its implementation. - Sean McBride

President Obama’s decision to provide military aid to the Syrian opposition is incredible. The United States is barely out of Iraq. It’s still bogged down in Afghanistan. Obama insists on keeping the Iran war option “on the table.” Yet suddenly we are taking sides in a civil war in Syria. How many Middle Eastern wars […]

Every enemy includes every individual dissident in every nation in the world. Thus the need to create a global total surveillance state. - Sean McBride

Not remotely sustainable. 1 billion people would be a much preferable number. - Sean McBride

But a small minority of neocons and neolibs is pushing Obama into a Syrian War which no doubt he also strongly opposes. - Sean McBride

These presidents should be studying Eisenhower, not Teddy Roosevelt or Lincoln. That's how you'll know things are turning around, when they start talking up Eisenhower. - Berthe

Eisenhower is looking better and better every year. - Sean McBride

Maidhc Ó Cathail The Passionate Attachment June 18, 2013 In an otherwise excellent recent piece entitled “Implications of Israel’s Fraying Image,” Chas Freeman, like so many other respected critics of Zionism, attempts to distinguish between the increasingly discredited political ideology underpinning the self-defined Jewish state and the traditional religion of the Jewish people.

"NSA leaker Edward Snowden summarized many people's feelings toward President Obama when he said he had “believed in Obama’s promises,” but after the election, "He continued with the policies of his predecessor.” In a 45-minute interview with Charlie Rose on Monday night, Obama challenged the idea that he's just "Bush-Cheney lite," as Rose put it. The president suggests the biggest difference is that he's more thoughtful than his predecessor; He's not charging into Syria on skimpy evidence, and he's added oversight to the NSA's spy programs to protect civil liberties. "Some people say, 'Well, you know, Obama was this raving liberal before. Now he’s, you know, Dick Cheney,' " Obama quipped. "Dick Cheney sometimes says, 'Yeah, you know? He took it all lock, stock, and barrel.' "" - Sean McBride from Bookmarklet

Richard Nixon: "I'm not a crook." - Sean McBride

"Police Commissioner Ray Kelly launched a stinging rebuke to the federal government’s secret phone and Internet monitoring campaign — and suggested leaker Edward Snowden was right about privacy “abuse.” “I don’t think it ever should have been made secret,” Kelly said today, breaking ranks with US law-enforcement officials. His blast came days after the Obama administration and Attorney General Eric Holder outraged New York officials by endorsing a federal monitor for the NYPD." - Sean McBride from Bookmarklet

Wow. - Sean McBride

Edward Snowden is now a much cooler guy than Obama. Snowden has pulled the rug out from under Obama. Obama may never succeed in reacquiring his lost coolness. - Sean McBride

"As a Kahanist, I knew that internal belief was worthless unless coupled with action and outward displays of faith. My backpack was adorned with a hagiographic keychain of Baruch Goldstein, the American-Israeli doctor who murdered 29 Palestinians worshipping at the Cave of the Patriarchs. I spat on an Arab boy in Hebron while a teenage Israeli soldier watched and did nothing. I canvassed Jerusalem in the 2006 elections for the far right. I attempted to enter Gaza to protest the implementation of Ariel Sharon’s disengagement plan. I told Israeli police officers that they were pigs for expelling Jewish settlers. I joined impromptu demonstrations at my school, at which we would shout chants of "death to Arabs" and "Kahane was right." These are the reasons why Marzel tapped me on the shoulder at a Kahanist banquet—I was a Kahanist posterboy." - Sean McBride from Bookmarklet

'Its ideology permeates even the governing coalition of Israel and poses a serious threat to Israel’s future.' ... And what about the rest of the planet? - pepsi

Counterpunch.org - In closed-door discussions, analyst Ben Caspit has noted, the Israeli army has put forward as its "optimal scenario" Syria breaking up into three separate states, with Assad confined to an Alawite canton in Damascus and along the coast. Nazareth. For much of the past two years Israel stood sphinx-like on the sidelines of Syria's civil war. Did it want Bashar al-Assad's regime toppled? Did it favour military intervention to help opposition forces? And what did it think of the increasing visibility of Islamist groups in Syria? It was difficult to guess. In recent weeks, however, Israel has moved from relative inaction to a deepening involvement in Syrian affairs. It launched two air strikes on Syrian positions last month, and at the same time fomented claims that Damascus had used chemical weapons, in what looked suspiciously like an attempt to corner Washington into direct intervention. Last week, based on renewed accusations of the use of the nerve agent sarin by...

My takeaway: authoritarian personality types (like the neocons) who are attracted to waging bullying foreign wars of aggression are also attracted to bullying their fellow citizens into submission in order to maintain support for those wars. Foreign aggression and domestic oppression are tightly correlated. - Sean McBride

The recent exposure of National Security Agency monitoring of Americans’ emails, live voice communications and stored data cast suspicion once again on private surveillance contractors linked to Israeli intelligence services. One firm called Narus has provided the NSA with technology for almost a decade that enabled it to obtain and analyze at least 80 percent of communications made by Americans over online and telecom channels. What was Narus’ role in the latest scandal, and how far back does its history of spying go?

Boeing owns Narus, and Boeing's CEO is W. James McNerney, Jr. -- one presumes that McNerney is not Jewish and is probably not an emotional pro-Israel activist. - Sean McBride

"Obama's campaign promises and election gave me faith that he would lead us toward fixing the problems he outlined in his quest for votes. Many Americans felt similarly. Unfortunately, shortly after assuming power, he closed the door on investigating systemic violations of law, deepened and expanded several abusive programs, and refused to spend the political capital to end the kind of human rights violations like we see in Guantanamo, where men still sit without charge." - Sean McBride

"Initially I was very encouraged. Unfortunately, the mainstream media now seems far more interested in what I said when I was 17 or what my girlfriend looks like rather than, say, the largest program of suspicionless surveillance in human history." - Sean McBride

"Further, it's important to bear in mind I'm being called a traitor by men like former Vice President Dick Cheney. This is a man who gave us the warrantless wiretapping scheme as a kind of atrocity warm-up on the way to deceitfully engineering a conflict that has killed over 4,400 and maimed nearly 32,000 Americans, as well as leaving over 100,000 Iraqis dead. Being called a traitor by... more... - Sean McBride

"Did you know that the first Neoconservatives in the Republican Party were former liberals in the Democratic Party? Yup it’s true! Back in the early 1970’s towards the end of the Vietnam War some liberals defected from the Democratic Party and came and set up shop in the Republican Party. They gained some influence during the Reagan years and today they run the party." - Sean McBride from Bookmarklet
