COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Germany to Hinder Obama/Holden Trial Conviction of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed

HERE IS WHAT OBAMA SAID ABOUT MILITARY TRIALS WHEN A SENATOR



HERE IS WHAT OBAMA SAYS AS PRESIDENT



Obama has hoisted his own petard and it seems to have been made in Germany. Remember, several members of the al Qaeda cell that planned and executed the attacks of September 11 were previously based in the northern German city of Hamburg. The Germans provided intelligence and evidence to the United States. That was then this is now:

In this case we will observe very closely that the given assurances are kept," Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger said.

However it was unclear exactly how evidence from Germany would be distinguished from evidence procured from elsewhere.

The defense lawyer for one of the accused, Ramzi Binalshibh, said that a conviction of his client would "scarcely be possible without evidence from Germany."

Berlin wants no part in potential 9/11 execution

DW


A legal team is going to New York to prevent the use of evidence provided by Germany in seeking a death penalty. Berlin wants to ensure that promises made by the US are kept if the suspects are found guilty.

A team of observers from the German government is going to New York to oversee the trial of five suspects accused of orchestrating the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States, the news magazine Der Spiegel reported on Saturday.

The federal trial of the suspect Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his four co-defendants was announced on November 13 by the US Justice Department. The government also asserted that it intends to seek the death penalty if the accused are found guilty.

Germany, which does not have a death penalty, provided evidence for the trial on the condition that it could not be used to support a death sentence. Several members of the al Qaeda cell that planned and executed the attacks of September 11 were previously based in the northern German city of Hamburg.

"In this case we will observe very closely that the given assurances are kept," Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger said.

However it was unclear exactly how evidence from Germany would be distinguished from evidence procured from elsewhere.

The defense lawyer for one of the accused, Ramzi Binalshibh, said that a conviction of his client would "scarcely be possible without evidence from Germany."

  1. Our "International" allies.

    Wonder if the Pakistani ISI will be there, to detail how the Sheik was arrested, and whether they tortured him?

    It's either War or a Crime.

    Any one see the US Congressional declaration of war against radical Islam, Afghanistan, Iraq or even aQ?

    I know that you have not.
    So the terrorists are criminals then, nothing more.

    That the Federals disregarded their own law, that does not make the Federals victims, especially of the Germans.

  2. Obama and Holder are making such a hash of this and I wouldn't be surprised by anything that happens. These guys are idiots and radicals. It wouldn't surprise me if KSM is acquitted or never even goes to trial or is eventually tried by a Military commission.

    This administration, like the left wing judiciary, just "makes things up." Obviously, they didn't count on the Germans (or maybe they did).

    It is part of the plan, I think, to delegitimize the theme of a long WAR against a resurgent Islam. If the bad guys are merely criminals, then, the EU et al are not saddled with the annoying implications that war would entail.

    Moreover, why would the Germans risk exposing their operatives and methods in a "show" trial? No, the Germans are trying to make sure that this bunch doesn't compromise German and EU security.

    In either case, this "trial" has all the makings of an obscenely expensive decade long circus.

    Absurd! The Great Leap and Cultural Revolution made certain that "Buy or Die" and "Read or Bleed" was the rule. This is hardly the same thing as freedom of choice. There was a time, DR, when it was perilous to be found without your little Red Book on your person. Its presence, alone, came to be viewed as proof of loyalty to the great mythologizer.

  20. One of the "Points" is that of all the non-fiction work, the Chinese have the "best" seller.

    It is a political work, as is Mrs Palin's. That is an interesting point, especially when referenced to deuce's original question concerning non-fiction book sales.

    That The Hite Report on Female Sexuality seems to be the best selling non-fiction work, in English, something I would not have expected.

    That may have an impact on how Mrs Palin's story plays out, too.

    I find it funny that the answer to an inexperienced President is a candidate that has a comparable resume to the one described as inexperienced, that being before Mr Obama became President.

    Pair Obama and Ms Clinton, which the Dems will, and Mrs Palin would be steamrolled in the Electoral College.

    Especially if she chose Glenn Beck as her running mate. Now that Mr Beck has become a Community Organizer and political activist.

  21. This takes the cake...

    According to the Anti-Defamation League, Glenn Beck has "made a habit of demonizing the Obama administration and promoting conspiracy theories about it."

    The ADL, whose foremost mission is to stop the defamation of the Jewish people, is now targeting a fresh new blight on the American people: anti-government extremism.

    From ADL‘s website:

    "In the year since we marked the historic election of the nation's first African-American president we have seen a tremendous amount of anger and hostility. There is a toxic atmosphere of rage in America being witnessed at many levels, and it raises fundamental questions for our society.”
    Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director.


    Even more enlightening ...

    If one is unsure as to what characteristics exemplify this wave of anti-government animosity, ADL provides the following statement:

    “What characterizes this anti-government hostility is a shared belief that Obama and his administration actually pose a threat to the future of the United States.”


    To be anti-Obama is to be anti-Jewish.

    According to the ADL, they'd know, I'm sure.

    The experienced politicians, the professionals, the lobbyists and the financial genius of wall street and the bankers have brought the country to its knees, Business and industry, experts all, have capitulated to the professional government class and rather fighting them, have outsourced a good chunk of the jobs that used to belong to the middle class.

    But it is a swastika that is clock backwards, representing the effort to meditate back through the unfolding of time, back to the timeless source.

  64. It's also very possible that this simple variation of a cross—which was often used by early humans to represent a star—sprung up out of the "collective unconscious" among cultures all over the world. "Potters and weavers are basically the first artists," comments Josh Baer, a Santa Fe dealer of Navajo rugs and other Native American artifacts. "They probably didn't influence each other as much as resorting to patterns. In weaving if the image is not pictorial, the alternative is to use geometric forms in such a way that they represent celestial and terrestrial forms."

    The swastika's meaning does seem to be similar across cultures, generally denoting abundance and prosperity and referring to the four cardinal directions. To Hindus, it is a symbol of the sun and its rotation. Buddhists consider it a diagram of the footprints of Buddha. Among the Jainas of India, the emblem is a reminder of the four possible places of rebirth: in the animal or plant world, in hell, on Earth or in the spirit world. In 1963, the well-respected Southwest author Frank Waters described the swastika's meaning to the Hopi people as a depiction of the migration routes Hopi clans took through North and South America.

    In Navajo myth the swastika represents the legend of the whirling log. As told by Aigner, the tale is of a man, outcast from his tribe, who rolls down river in a hollowed-out log. With the help of sacred deities he finds a place of friendship and abundance. Until the late 1800s, when J. Lorenzo Hubbell and J.B. Moore opened their trading posts in Arizona and New Mexico, Navajos portrayed the swastika solely in their religious ceremonies in the form of sand paintings. But by 1896, with prodding by Hubbell and Moore, the symbol proliferated on Navajo rugs, sometimes lifted directly from the images in sand and depicted as a central cross with a male-female pair of standing figures ("yei" or "dreaming twins") at the end of each of the four arms of the cross.

    The swastika design goes back thousands of years in human culture.

  65. bob,

    Consider the misappropriation of the Christian cross for evil doings through the centuries.

    In rereading my Hundred Years' War, I find it telling that at Crecy, for example, both armies went after one another under banners and heraldy containing the cross. Just prior to clashing, both armies yelled the names of their "rival" patron saints.

    Does such misuse of an icon render that icon impure, unholy?

    You folks know more about old bob out here in Idaho than you do about the Christ of the gospels.

    That is why this Christ may have more meaning to our life, than any old bob out here in Idaho, this Jesus having emptied himself of his ego, and having been able to express this in his living, which is why some folks followed him, which way of life bob is unable to do.

    I have to make do with the troubadors. :)

    I think Jesus took the Jewish way of life, at it's best, and heightened it.

    I see the very same thing in Black Elk, when he spoke of his journey to the other world, which may, indeed, exist.

    It's what Joe Campbell was speaking of, when he spoke of the monomyth, where our hero is separated from our society, has a transforming experience, and comes back, to help the people.

    Black Elk did it, just as much as Jesus, in my view.

    Black Elk just didn't have a literate society at hand, to help him get his message out.


    When Black Elk agreed to tell his story, he made certain that the hearer of it was a pure person, capable of receiving it.

    You can read about Black Elk's reticence in the introduction to Black Elk Speaks, by John G. Niehardt.

    Niehardt's daughter was a linguist. She was the translator of Black Elk's words.

    Some of the images - o images! - are the very same you'll find in Christian literature, and I'd bet, though I'm not so conversant with it, in Jewish too.

    They are the very same images I read every day, when I get my new issue of The Journal of Near Death Experience.

    Souls submerged in a cesspool of their own being.

    Something we should keep in mind, lest we have the experience itself.

  72. Barbie is a whore. She cheated on Ken and he divorced her.

    A perfect setup for a divorce lawyer like my father. A money machine!

  73. Dad had a hell of a bunch of divorces.

    Some of these fights can get really tough.

    Women aren't so pleasant as they may seem. Some are real bulldogs, as dad used say.

    "We've got a real bulldog on the other side"

    Happily, the laws are a little easier now.

    It's not so hard to set one free, as it used to be.

  74. You get about $2,000,000 million dollars, in 1950's money, and some Sunshine Mining stock on the side, with a little Coeur d'Alene Mines thrown in, plus a place at the lake, you can have a real fight on your hands.

    I watched a couple of these, as a kid.

    Some went on for two years or more.

  75. They do call you names. You're just an easy target, I guess.

    I always say the two subjects people shouldn't discuss are politics and religion, especially on a blog where words can be so misunderstood.

    What's that saying? Too, many hands on one pot..

    This is why I strictly stick to sex. Ya, can't go wrong there.

  81. The Frances Fox Piven, PhD Barbie Doll would have a porthole belly button and nasal periscope. She would own a set (in miniature) of the complete works of Norman Mailer.

  82. Ahh, that's not it, MLD. They think I'm not sure what.

    That some uninvolved reader will be impressed with their intellectual argument?
    They do not make one.

    That name calling will change my mind?
    They know that will not happen.

    No, they do it to please themselves.

    To say in the anonymity of the blog what they would not say to your face or if you even knew who they really were.

    Old habu went on and on about that, how he was free from any cultural restraint to be polite.

    While others are babbling on about how such polite old white guys they are.

  85. And in Sri Lanka, the war refugee camps are being closed. Those folks learned the real lessons of asymmetrical warfare, well.

    Being on an island certainly helped them tactically. Repatriating the people to their homes, a lesson learned from the long term failures in the Levant.

    With Art Bell.

    There was no Idaho football this weekend, so I have nothing to report.

    We take on Utah, I think it is, next week.

    Just time to go to bed. A little eary, here tonight.

    Good night, MLD, and Allen.

  88. bob, the Anti Defamation League thinks you and your political beliefs are a real danger to the United States of America.

    Could they be right?

    They are culturally attune and without a doubt, intellectual.

  92. night bob guess it's time for me, too, so y'all can carry on with whatever you carry on with...

    ...and, I'm guessing there will be a vampire barbie coming soon. That's probably why Ken left, he couldn't keep up with all her personalities. Sleeping with a different person every night got to be to much. Next thing you know they will come out with gonorrhea Ken.

  93. Re: "in miniature"

    With Mailer, one could be speaking to either volume size or content.

    He may have belonged to the ADL, whether germane.

    Abe has probably not read Mailer, bob. But does that explain PPP Dysfunction and/or PMS...Hmm...

  94. Bwahahahahaha

    Allen, no wonder you didn't answer me when, I ask if you were talking to me when you made a reference to ADL. I quickly glanced at it and assumed you made a mistake on the letters. You probably thought, I was nuts.

  95. MLD,

    "You probably thought, I was nuts."

    "probably"...Hmm...You are here, though...I'll have to give this more thought :)

    I would love to have a belt of Scotch. Sadly, I'll have to wait until tomorrow; because the good people of Georgia know best - it being the Lord's day and all. And the cupboard is bare.

    Why can't we all just get along?

  96. Come on, admit it ...

    If those ADL statements were on an ACORN site.
    Or the Church of Wright's site.
    Any other group that voted over 70% en-bloc for Team Obamamerica.
    Why then, you'd all be a twitter in outrage!

    That it would be claimed by Obama supporters that bob's politics are a danger to American society.
    bob being the most adamant that Mr Obama is a usurper to the Presidency, by means of conspiracy.

    But let it be the ADL that makes those statements, and well, we must search for possible relevance concerning who the ADL is.

  99. I've been listening to this fellow Jim I think Meiers or Myers on C 2 C. I can't find him on the C 2 C website, he is not the Jim Maars about the Kennedy assassination.

    This fellow is a biological scientist, and one of the reasons I keep going back to C 2 C. He is one of those diamonds in a dunghill that shows up from time to time.

    Man, is he good, and so well spoken. So well spoken.

    He is an 'intelligent design' guy, and is just talking about this subject from the point of view of science.

    He says, it's kind of an unspoken secret, in the circles he hangs out in, that the Darwinian thesis is falling apart. Science wise.

    I've always felt there was some kind of 'pull from the front' but I don't know a thing about science, so I'm happy to listen to this guy, who kinda backs me up, in a way.

    There have been some very good callers, calling in, asking him questions.

    He seems to have a very fast mind, and I think he could argue with anybody.

    ReplyDelete
  100. He just said something interesting.

    He is evidently, some kind of Christian, or Judeo/Christian.

    Not sure what kind.

    What he said was, "The Bible, taken as a whole, is some kind of speaking to us, from in front"

    or something like that. I didn't quite get his exact words.

    Well, I can agree with that, just depending on the meaning of 'speaking to us, from in front' may be.




    His name is Stephen, or Steven, Myer, or Meier. Or Meyer. Not Jim.

    He's very good.

  101. O my ass about the Jews running the politics.

    I don't know about in your areas, maybe that's different, but out here it's still Christian farmers that really run things, what things there are to run. And most of these Christian farmers really aren't Christians, but just farmers, ready to take your farm, and your wife, if you don't watch out. The politics ain't much, some arguments about highways, snowplow and stuff. We elect a few farmers to the Idaho legislature, and that's about the end of it.

    Who would really want to enact legislation about my old farm out at Lenville, anyway?

    Really, not a damn thing has happened out there in a hundred years, save the introduction of the Chinese pheasant.

    I'll have a drink with Allen.

  103. bob,

    Our resident Jewish political experts never stop to think how silly their theses about Jewish power. If we had even a fraction of the clout claimed, then, why are we constantly being assailed on the Palestinian front?

    Can Jews make a decisive difference in certain elections, in certain areas over certain issues? Yep. But then so does the NRA, Southern Baptists, pharmaceutical companies etc.

    Look guys, it's called K Street, not the synagogue, for a reason.

    Arguing is a waste. One would deny 13 official reports and, thereby, claim conspiracy to murder at the highest levels, in depth; the other would simply fill a page with profanities.

    Bob, thanks!
