For your first sentence my answer is,, WHAT? Is that even English.
Lots of countries break U.N. resolutions,,, we do. Israel holds the record though.
I am glad you are not my gardener, sounds like innocent people get killed when your weeding.

The White House doesn't set the price of oil, they are not the seller. In case you haven't noticed it's not really a buyers market right now.

Last but not least, Of course the United States wouldn't steal. Good christians don't do that, just ask the native Americans.

Have you read the Muckraker?

TPM´s Great List of Scandalized Administration Officials

By Paul Kiel - December 31, 2007, 11:20AM

The White House does not establish the price of oil directly, but foreign policy is a considerable influence on the market. Can't have it both ways, to take credit when things are good and then say "ain't our fault" when they turn sour.

I actually have a plan for what you describe. It involves running our government by doing what we do for juries. Pick the names of a few average, tax paying, legally in the USA citizens to replace the clowns in Congress and the White House.

Let's be honest...a huge majority of the people we elect and send to Washington actually "do" very little. They have huge staffs or career government workers who do the real research and work. For most of the elected clowns, their main job is to get reelected. They do photo ops and are basically similar to eye candy. There is no value that they supply most of the time.

So why not go down the voting rolls and require/ask (to be determined later) those selected to make the major decisions, votes, and policy directions. Pay them 5 times whatever they listed on their previous tax return. Not sure how long they should serve. Should not be too long or some of them will figure out how to jerk the system just like the elected scum does now.

Yeah, there are a few bugs to be worked out...but the holiday season has slowed the process. Also, we need to get this done before the snow melts and they open the golf courses.

Any suggestions or advice will be considered...but probably not much. SmileWavy

She's doing it again!!!

You've "been through the fires" as the WIFE of a candidate you twit! How about we run Bill Clinton's makeup artist? he/she went through it too! :mad:

Can you name any Chapter 7 resolutions that the US or Israel have broken?

Iraq broke, what was it, 17?


** yea, I know, it's kind of a trick question. I know you don't realize the difference between the UN's binding and non-binding resolutions.

that neither are worth the paper they're written on?

You get extra credit

Not sure about chapter 7.
Are you saying you don't have to abide unless chapter 7? Cool

P.S. this list is only until 1992, you can do the math and figure how many more on average for the missing years.

Actually you must have missed quite a few. I recall reading a while back that since 1958 the UN passes about 20 resolutions a year and that roughly half of them are against the actions of Israel. So since 1958 that would be....................

The sad news is that many of the votes per Israel have only one nation on the planet supporting Israel. Only folks like Joe Leiberman probably know why that is.

NY Post slammed Hillary

"Adding insult to Clinton's real campaign injury is that she also lost to JE, a rethread loser from four years ago running a nasty class warfare campaign etc."

Some may say the Iowa caucus was a referendum on "anybody but Hillary," and I agree. Very proud of Iowans!

But with such huge turn-out #'s on the Democratic side, it was clearly a referendum on the Bush Admin. the only think missing was a smug Bush on a White House veranda musing, "Let them drink beer."

it has begun, it can not be stopped.

Put down the Shiraz and realize Bush is not on the ballot:D

Cabernet actually. helps with the photoshop. :D

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1199505581.jpg

len is right, Bush was not on the Iowa caucus ballot, and "thank goodness" say the Republican candidates, most of whom are running away from him as hard as they can. Given the Dem turnout was 2X the Rep turnout, they may need to run harder.

I'm just sayin' he's a uniter, not a divider. he's successfully united Democrats to ensure we don't have 4 more years of Republican rule.

No, first time seeing the Muckraker but remember this one.

The Franklin Child Sex Ring Implicating the Bush Whitehouse


Click on the image above to see large scans of the above newspaper.

The following archive paints a chilling portrait of what is really going on in the upper echelons of the ruling elite here in America. The story involves children from orphanages in Nebraska being flown around the United States by top Republican officials in order to engage in child sex orgies with America's ruling elite. It is a fact that during the 1980's, child sexual services were provided by top Republican officials to key, bureaucrats and diplomats but most importantly, there is a chilling proximity of all of these events and personalities, to the President of the United States at the time, George H.W. Bush. And there have been victims who claim that the President himself engaged in the activities. It is a tale of child sex, murder, espionage, blackmail, and huge payoffs. And all the players are involved. From the White House to the CIA to the media barrons to the Republican elite - right down to the orphanages where they procured their victims.

This story was the second biggest scandal of the 1980's which was completely obliterated by the Bush White House - A complete coordinated blackout by the ruling elite in cooperation with the American television networks. (The biggest scandal being the Bush involvement in the attempted assassination of President Reagan) Since the elite who own the television networks in America are the same elite who feast off the carcass of the American population - just like the Bushes do and who sit on the same boards of the same corporate cartels as the Bushes do - most Americans will never hear of this explosive story. But thanks to the Internet all these suppressed news facts are re-surfacing. Perhaps the most chilling aspect of this horrific tale is that such realities can be so completely obliterated by the powers that be so that, even though these are simply the very biggest most explosive stories of our time - you will never know that they happened. That is why www.voxfux.com exists. To bring you the hard cold truth about what is really happening to our world. To inform you about who these people really are who rule America.

Fortunately not all people are in on the crimes of the elite. Once and a while a person comes along who is human and who fights and resists this evil force which is destroying the human race. In this case, former republican Senator John Decamp was involved in the production a documentary called "Conspiracy of Silence" it was to air May 3, 1994 on the Discovery Channel. This documentary exposed a network of religious leaders and Washington politicians who flew children to Washington D.C. for sex orgies. As the story goes, at the last minute before airing, there was a massive effort from key Washington politicians who were implicated in the scandal to exert pressure on the channel to threatened the TV Cable industry with restrictive legislation if this documentary was aired.

Almost immediately, the rights to the documentary were purchased by unknown persons who had ordered all copies destroyed. A copy of this videotape was furnished anonymously to former Nebraska state senator and attorney John De Camp who made it available to retired F.B.I. chief, Ted L. Gunderson. While the video quality is not top grade, this tape is a blockbuster in what is revealed by the participants involved. You can view the online video below.

Our little buddies, the terrorist state of Israel.

Man, you are going to get ripped for that!

Just because it's true means very little to most Americans. They b!tch about terrorism but fail to realize that Israel basically invented modern terrorism and taught the Middle East how successful it could be.

But, that was 60 years ago and we do have short memories.

Ripped by who? THe uninformed?
Americans only ***** about terrorism when it is used on them.
Americans love it when it is used on somebody else.
Sometimes Americans even ***** when it is used on them for them by them, because they don't know any better.Examples of documented 'False Flag Terrorism'
B07329 / Sun, 10 Jul 2005 14:20:17 / Intelligence
After reading the article detailing the proposed and existing oil pipeline routes in the Middle East at http://szamko.gnn.tv/blogs/17155/Pipeline_Time then consider the following examples of “false flag terrorist operations”... where governments fund, set-up, and execute their own covert terror operations and blame scapegoat nations or “alleged” terror cells like Al Qaeda to ,muster support for further war (to ultimately dominate world economies through control of the world oil supplies).
The point being that world citizens are not only the cannon fodder in the slaughter…but end up paying the tab through increased interest fees and taxation by corporate politicians for their war expenditures.

3.) FSB (ex-KGB) behind 1999 bombings in Russia’
Publica | 05.03.2002 23:14 See source
“FSB (ex-KGB) was behind the apartment bloc bombings that were carried out in Russia in September 1999”, says Boris Berezovsky, a former Kremlin insider who has since fallen out with the Putin government.
Nikita Chegulain, a former undercover agent of the antiterrorist division of the FSB, said he possessed documentary evidence that proved that highly explosive hexogen was withdrawn from military bases and distributed secretely to regional organisations. He incriminates top government officials in the coverup; independent investigations have so far been blocked.
The panel brought attention to already known facts about a foiled explosion in Ryazan on 22 September 1999. The FSB was forced to admit that it had planted the device, when phonecalls amongst its agents were intercepted. Yet, simultaneously, head of the FSB Patrushev claimed that the explosives were actually sugar and that this was part of a so-called security exercise.
This sharply contradicts the version of the local police force which had determined that the substance was hexogen and that the detonator equipment was real and set for 5.30am © “the clock was ticking”. Four explosives experts from Britain and France recently examined the available evidence from the Ryazan incident and concluded that the bomb was authentic.

Terrorism expert says at least one person tipped off to London attacks
Terrorism expert Tommy Preston of Preston Global in Frankfort, Kentucky, said sources in the intelligence community reported that at least one person in London, England was warned of Thursday morning’s terrorist attacks moments before the initial blast. Preston, citing sources in the intelligence community, said former Israeli Prime Minister and current Finance Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was in London this morning for an economic forum. “Just before the first blast, Netanyahu got a call from the Israeli Embassy telling him to stay in his hotel room. The hotel is located next to the subway station where the first attack occurred and he did stay put and shortly after that, there was the explosion,” Preston said.
11.) The Muslim Terrorist Apparatus was Created by US_Intelligence
12.) Another taboo subject is the longevity of the United States as both a terrorist state and a haven for terrorists. That the US is the only nation on record to have been condemned by the World Court for international terrorism (in Nicaragua ), and has vetoed a UN Security Council resolution calling on governments to observe international law, is unmentionable.
13.) America as Terrorist Haven: “A chief terrorist with long ties to US intelligence agencies is seeking asylum in the United States. The FBI has evidence linking him to an airline bombing that killed 73 people. We’re talking about the notorious militant Cuban exile: Luis Posada Carriles.”
Democracy_Now ! May 9, 2005
“Though the terrorist’s presence has been an open secret in Miami, neither President George W. Bush nor Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has ordered a manhunt. The U.S. press corps has been largely silent as well.
The reason is that this terrorist, Luis Posada Carriles, was a CIA-trained Cuban whose long personal war against Fidel Castro’s government is viewed sympathetically by the two Bush brothers and their father. When it comes to the Bush family, Posada is the epitome of the old saying that “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.”
The Bush administration – which has imprisoned Jose Padilla and other alleged Muslim “enemy combatants” without trial – has taken a far more lenient approach toward the 77-year-old Posada, who is still wanted in Venezuela for the bombing of a Cubana Airlines plane in 1976 that killed 73 people. Posada also has admitted involvement in a deadly hotel bombing campaign in Cuba in 1997.”
Consortium_News , April 25, 2005
“A Cuban exile who has waged a campaign of bombings and assassination attempts aimed at toppling Fidel Castro says that his efforts were supported financially for more than a decade by the Cuban-American leaders of one of America’s most influential lobbying groups.
The exile, Luis Posada Carriles, said he organized a wave of bombings in Cuba last year at hotels, restaurants and discotheques, killing an Italian tourist and alarming the Cuban Government. Posada was schooled in demolition and guerrilla warfare by the Central Intelligence Agency in the 1960’s.
14.) In California, in the eighties, John Pilger (investigative journalist and writer) met four Vietnamese who had been assassins in America’s Operation Phoenix; one of them ran a fast food drive-in. He seemed a contended man. What all these people have in common, apart from their history of terrorism, is that they were either working directly for the US government or carrying out the dirty work of American policies. Operation Phoenix, for example, devised, funded and run by the CIA, was responsible for up to 50,000 murders. He states:
“Much was made of al-Qa’ida’s training camps in Afghanistan, the target of American bombers. But these were kindergartens compared with the world’s leading university of terrorism at Fort_Benning in Georgia. Known until recently as the School of the Americas, it trained some 60,000 Latin American soldiers, policemen, paramilitaries and intelligence agents. Forty per cent of the Cabinet ministers who served in the genocidal regimes of Lucas Garcia, Rios Montt and Mefia Victores in Guatemala are graduates.
In 1993, the UN Truth Commission for El Salvador named the army officers who had committed the worst atrocities of the civil war; two-thirds of them had been trained at Fort Benning. They included Roberto D’Aubisson, the leader of the death squads and the murderers of Archbishop Oscar Romero and a group of Jesuit priests. In Chile, the school’s graduates ran Pinochet’s secret police and three principal concentration camps. In 1996, the US government was forced to release copies of the school’s training manuals. For aspiring terrorists, these recommended blackmail, torture, execution and the arrest of witnesses’ relatives.”
