GLOBAL POVERTY ACT

Obama says America is ready for change. Implementing the Global Poverty Act (S.2433) which Obama has sponsored will certainly bring about change, — but I believe that most Americans will be dismayed when they discover the kind of changes he was really talking about.

OBAMA BACKS U.N. BILL TO DISARM AMERICANS

The U.S. would be required to surrender some of its sovereignty over foreign aid by putting it under UN control. The bill would force the U.S. to sign onto the U.N.’s Millennium Declaration, which would commit us not only to "banning small arms and light weapons" but also to adhere to the International Criminal Court Treaty and the Kyoto Protocol.

GOVERNMENT ITSELF WON'T SWEAR TO OFFICIAL THEORY OF 9/11

* Bush, Cheney and all other key officials refused to testify under oath, and Bush and Cheney would not even speak to the 9/11 Commission unless they did so together

* The 9/11 Commission admits that the U.S. military intentionally lied about what happened that day, the Commission reached conclusions based on political considerations, and that its conclusions were largely based on third-hand information conveyed through military spokespeople about what severley tortured, crazy people supposedly said

* NIST admits "We are unable to provide a full explanation of the total collapse"

* FEMA admits that its best hypothesis for why WTC 7 collapsed has only "a low probability of occurring"

It is not very reassuring when the professional whitewashers tasked with defending the government's version of what happened on 9/11 themselves willing to swear to that version.

THE FIGHT TO FIRE, DISBAR, AND TRY AMERICA'S "TORTURE PROFESSORS" FOR WAR CRIMES

If cruelty is no longer declared unlawful, but instead is applied as a matter of policy, it alters the fundamental relationship of man to government. It destroys the whole notion of individual rights. The Constitution recognizes that man has an inherent right, not bestowed by the state or laws, to personal dignity, including the right to be free of cruelty. It applies to all human beings, not just in America -- even those designated as 'unlawful enemy combatants.' If you make this exception the whole Constitution crumbles.
