FUKUSHIMA / DEADLY SILENCE

The Main Stream Press continues to ignore Fukushima but the two month catastrophe continues unabated as TEPCO now admits it lied about the severity of the damage to reactor #1 and that a nuclear meltdown has occurred that continues to release deadly amounts of radiation comparable to Chernobyl: Allen L Roland

Over 60 days have passed since the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe but the main stream press continues to downplay the ramifications of this continuing radioactive disaster.

Engineers from the Tokyo Electric Power company (TEPCO) entered the No.1 reactor at the end of last week for the first time and saw the top five feet or so of the core's 13ft-long fuel rods had been exposed to the air and melted down. That’s the first time that Japanese officials have admitted that one of their reactors at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi power plant has had a nuclear meltdown.

Greenpeace has urged Tepco to abandon plans to flood the container with water, given the likelihood that melted fuel has damaged it. Shaun Burnie, nuclear adviser to Greenpeace Germany, said: "Flooding a reactor that has fuel [that has fallen] through the pressure vessel is not a good idea."

Outlining a worst-case scenario, Burnie said very large amounts of cold water hitting the melted fuel could cause an explosion, trigger substantial damage to the reactor and create a "high risk of atmospheric release running for days, if not weeks." He added: "I think [the flooding option] will now be scrapped.

Greenpeace also said significant amounts of radioactive material had been released into the sea and that samples of seaweed taken from as far as 40 miles of the Fukushima plant had been found to contain radiation well above legal limits. Of the 22 samples tested, ten were contaminated with five times the legal limit of iodine 131 and 20 times of cesium 137. Seaweed is a huge part of the Japanese diet and the average household almost 7lbs a year. Greenpeace's warning came as fishermen prepared to start the harvest of this season's seaweed on May 20.

It’s the blind leading the blind in this deteriorating crisis and the Japanese public and the World still does not know the true extent of this growing disaster that definitely has ramifications for the West Coast of the United States and the world in general.

Vivian Norris, Huffington Post, commented recently on the current deadly silence of Fukushima ~ “I received the following email a few days ago from a Russian nuclear physicist friend who is an expert on the kinds of gases being released at Fukushima. Here is what he wrote: "About Japan: the problem is that the reactor uses "dirty" fuel. It is a combination of plutonium and uranium (MOX). I suspect that the old fuel rods have been spread out due to the explosion and the surrounding area is contaminated with plutonium which means you can never return to this place again. It is like a new Chernobyl. Personally, I am not surprised that the authority has not informed people about this.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/vivian-norris-de-montaigu/deadly-silence-on-fukushi_b_859241.html

Norris ended her article with this appeal ~ “People need answers, data and honest information to help them deal with what is going on. Media blackouts, propaganda and greedy self-interested industries, of any kind, who allow human beings' health to be affected, and deaths to occur, must be stopped now. That senior TEPCO man and the leading nuclear academic in Japan did not break down crying and resign their positions because all was well at Fukushima. Think about it world, and act now before it is too late.”

Arnie Gundersen, was a high level nuclear executive for years and analyzes the information he has been receiving in a calm and scientific way but his latest May 13^th ten minute update is worth watching in light of current developments ~ Gundersen reveals that all four reactors are in severe shape and that the “Fukushima Groundwater Contamination is the Worst in Nuclear History". http://ampedstatus.com/video.php

MEMO TO THE PRESIDENT / FROM DICK CHENEY

From deep inside his self imposed Bunker, Dick ‘Darth Vader’ Cheney emails President Obama with advice on walking on the dark side and useful counsel regarding lies, deceptions and end game strategies. In a world of growing deceit and political manipulation ~ quite often only satire is capable of disseminating the truth. Wake up, America, we’re obviously still being bamboozled : Allen L Roland

Memo to President Obama

From: Dick Cheney ( currently working on his memoirs tentatively titled My Ride On The Dark Side )

Congratulations on your visit to the dark side, Barack ~ as witnessed by your recently staged but increasingly bungled assassination of Osama Bin Laden. Of course, we both know that Bin Laden died in 2001 of a natural death from Kidney failure but who cares about the truth ~ it’s the myth that counts whether he or it is dead or alive ~ think Al Qaeda (chuckle).

By the way, those Pentagon released videos are really pretty feeble (chuckle) ~ Particularly the one supposedly showing Bin Laden watching himself on TV ~ The guy with the remote isn't recognizable, you cannot actually see what’s on the TV screen ~ and according to the FBI, the real Osama was left-handed, while the man in the video is using his right hand for the remote control ~ Whose producing this junk?

If you’re going to ride on the dark side, for God sake don’t ride side saddle !

You must recall that the Washington Post reported last year on how CIA officials recruited “darker-skinned employees” to create fake Bin Laden tapes. The fact that the CIA created fake Bin Laden tapes is an admitted fact, not a conspiracy theory ~ which obviously negates the authenticity of these videos. So your Dubious Bin Laden “Home Movies” are identical to tapes released 4 years ago by Pentagon Front Group ~ here’s the story http://www.infowars.com/hoax-white-house-claims-4-year-old-bin-laden-tapes-are-new-footage/

Your story line is unraveling faster than a speeding bullet, Barack ~ In a BBC News report, Orla Guerin interviewed dozens of people who were adamant that Bin Laden did not live in the compound, with none of them ever witnessing him or hearing rumors that he was there in the five years that Obama claimed Bin Laden was a resident in the town.“It’s all a fake, nothing happened,” said a newspaper seller who has been working in the town for 50 years. Another resident told Guerin that the man seen in the video footage of Osama allegedly flicking between television channels is in fact his neighbor, not Bin Laden.“His name is Akhbar Han, he owns the house they said was Osama’s house, I know him very well,” the man stated. Two minute BBC video http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-13329078

And yesterday, Iran's intelligence minister, Heidar Moslehi said “We have accurate information that bin Laden died of illness some time ago”.

Jeezus, Boy ~ You’re better off now not releasing any more of those obvious Bin Laden video re-runs and play the patriotism card in light of your lack of any direct evidence of a Bin Laden kill. Remember, there was no question that we, of course I mean our Iraqi puppet government, hanged Saddam ~ now those were really grisly pictures (sneer ) and we were not afraid to show them to the sheeple.

If you’re going to sell a lie, you’d better build the personal drama and call it the longest 40 minutes of your life ~ remember your credibility and re-election is on the line, Boy! And no more staged ‘Situation Room’ photos ~ you looked like they just pulled you off the golf course, which apparently really happened, and Hillary looks like she’s stifling a yawn (chuckle).

You’re also obviously aware that we’ve always wanted to prolong the bogus War on Terror for as long as possible. Now that most of the sheeple are aware of the fact that the War on Terror is a complete fraud, it becomes especially important to keep the game going and this Bin Laden event should serve that purpose if you milk it for all its worth ~ think 9/11 (chuckle).

Suggestion ~ Continue to surround yourself with cheering troops like you did last weekend at Fort Campbell with the Airborne saying “Job, well done ! Remember, you’re the Commander In Chief ~ as I once was (wistfully) Whoops ! Don’t tell that to George W !

Remember, it’s not about being loved, it’s all about being feared, but I digress ~

For your information ~ David Ray Griffin’s book titled, “Osama Bin Laden: Dead or Alive?” written in 2009 provided convincing objective and testimonial evidence of his mid-December 2001 death, of natural causes, not a commando hit squad getting their man ~ but the Main Stream Press has thankfully squashed that information and hopefully they’ll continue to do the same now.

Getting rid of the forensic evidence by supposedly throwing Bin Laden in the sea was original at best although risky since there is no actual body ~ but the sheeple will buy it just like they never investigated why all of the ground zero steel was sent off to Taiwan and South Korea after 9/11 ~ no forensic evidence, no case ( chuckle ). You might even want to demolish the compound in Abbottabad while your at it ~ again, no crime scene evidence protects your butt ~ remember how Rudy Giuliani recycled and shipped the steel (evidence) from the exploded WTC. ( Rudi’s a blatant and corrupt kiss ass but he came through for us that day )

I also like the idea that you are admitting that torture was necessary to get the necessary intelligence information for this Bin Laden hit ~ it takes some legal pressure off of George W. and myself in regards to our work on the dark side. Do remember your promise to us about not opening any investigation into torture, rendition or our treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo. What the Guantanamo files recently released by WikiLeaks show is that the claims we made about the threat the detainees posed to the US and its allies and interests was simply untrue ( a lie ) and although we knew the prisoners were innocent, we refused to set them free because of the political repercussions that would have ensued. That’s dangerously close to the truth boy, I mean Mr. President, and it can’t go any further or our whole 9/11 cover story will begin to unravel ~ since most of those 9/11 confessions were torture induced. As I said last Sunday, I would reinstate the practice of water boarding if I were president or as you would say enhanced interrogation methods (chuckle).

Speaking of 9/11 ~ Beware of this Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik fellow ~ He’s held numerous different influential positions under three different Presidents and still works with the Defense Department, and he alarmingly told The Alex Jones Show yesterday that Osama Bin Laden died in 2001 and that he was prepared to testify in front of a grand jury how a top general told him directly that 9/11 was a false flag inside job.

We may have a giant problem here and you’d better get on top of this ~

Pieczenik cannot be dismissed as a “conspiracy theorist”. He served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under three different administrations, Nixon, Ford and Carter, while also working under Reagan and Bush senior, and still works as a consultant for the Department of Defense. A former US Navy Captain, Pieczenik achieved two prestigious Harry C. Solomon Awards at the Harvard Medical School as he simultaneously completed a PhD at MIT.

Here’s what he had to say about your recent Bin Laden hit ~ “This whole scenario where you see a bunch of people sitting there looking at a screen and they look as if they’re intense, that’s nonsense,” referring to the images released by the White House which claim to show Biden, yourself and Hillary Clinton watching the operation to kill Bin Laden live on a television screen. “It’s a total make-up, make believe, we’re in an American theater of the absurd….why are we doing this again….nine years ago this man was already dead….why does the government repeatedly have to lie to the American people,” asked Pieczenik. “Osama Bin Laden was totally dead, so there’s no way they could have attacked or confronted or killed Osama “said Pieczenik, joking that the only way it could have happened was if special forces had attacked a mortuary.

That’s a dangerous question, and you and I know the answer ~ if the American people knew the whole truth, starting with 9/11, we’d be in Guantanamo and that includes you too, Mr. President.

Unfortunately, Barack ~ Pieczenik’s assertion that Bin Laden died almost ten years ago is echoed by numerous intelligence professionals as well as heads of state across the world.

Pieczenik unfortunately correctly stated ~ “ Bin Laden was used in the same way that 9/11 was used to mobilize the emotions and feelings of the American people in order to go to a war that had to be justified through a narrative that Bush junior and Cheney created about the world of terrorists”.

And again during his interview with the Alex Jones Show last week, Pieczenik also asserted he was directly told by a prominent general that 9/11 was a stand down and a false flag operation, and that he is prepared to go to a grand jury to reveal the general’s name ~ and I unfortunately know who that General is (sigh ).

“They ran the attacks,” said Pieczenik, naming Myself, Paul Wolfowitz, Stephen Hadley, Elliott Abrams, and Condoleezza Rice amongst others as having been directly involved. ( another nervous sigh )

Here’s the link, Barack ~ read it and weep! Remember, you’re supposed to be protecting our butts!

http://www.infowars.com/top-us-government-insider-bin-laden-died-in-2001-911-a-false-flag/

Look Barack, the last refuge for scoundrels is patriotism ~ George and I used it to the max and the sheeple always respond. After this apparent Bin Laden debacle, I’m afraid you’re getting dangerously close to the scoundrel level so play the patriotism card to the hilt ~ visit ground Zero, honor the Navy Seals, hand out medals and start saying 9/11 and Al Qaeda (which we both know is a CIA sponsored myth) at least twice a day and for Christ’s sake ~ wear your America Flag lapel pin as I always proudly do.

Destroy this email immediately!

--------------------------------

Author note: Isn’t this what Eisenhower was warning about in his farewell speech: Beware the Military-Industrial Complex, these are the guys who want nothing more than war from one end of the planet to another because it's how they make money and expand their power.

Or as Paul Krugman, NY Times, correctly writes ~ “We’re paying a heavy price for Washington’s obsession with phantom menaces. By looking for trouble in all the wrong places, our political class is preventing us from dealing with the real crisis ~ the millions of American men and women who can’t find work”

Unfortunately, Carl Sagan’s bamboozle effect still reins in America ~ that is when you have been bamboozled long enough by lies and deceptions, you begin to believe the bamboozle and any evidence to the contrary is either ignored, rejected or you’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. It is, quite simply, too painful to acknowledge, especially to ourselves, that we’re been so credulous or gullible ~ so the old bamboozles (like the 9/11 cover up) tend to persist as the new bamboozles rise (the Bin Laden assassination story).

Wake up, America ~ we’re obviously still being bamboozled!

MEMORIES OF MY MOM ON MOTHER'S DAY

Those who we love deeply become part of us forever for they live in our hearts ~ as my Mother most certainly still lives in mine: Allen L Roland

My mother died suddenly and unexpectedly 24 years ago in Connecticut.

She appeared sitting on my bed at that exact moment in

Sonoma, California ~ just as I was

falling asleep.

I could feel her deep love for me and she

whispered ~ "Allen, I know ..

Allen, I know "

I fell asleep saying to myself ~ that can't be

my mother.

Two days later ~ I learned of her death

from my brother and I realized that I

had an after-death experience with

my mother.

Over 50% of Americans have had such an after-death

experience with a loved one ~ according

to Gallup.

My mother had read my Unified Field Theory

at least a month before she died ~

so she must have been telling me that

she now knew what I knew.

The Unified Field is, in essence, a state of

love and soul consciousness that exists

not only beyond time and space

but ALSO beneath our deepest fears.

What an incredible act of love from my

mother ~ obviously from beyond death and

in a joyful state of soul consciousness.

When I went back to Boston for my mothers

funeral ~ I decided to share the loving

and joyful moments I experienced with my

mother during the Eulogy,

I remember lying outside my mothers door before

I could walk and wondering why my mother

was crying inside ~ and wanting somehow to

help her.

I remember sitting on my mothers lap for a picture

with my twin brother, at four years old, and realizing how extraordinarily beautiful my mother was ~ she looked like Greta Garbo.

I remember the last time my mother spanked me

with a hairbrush when I was probably seven or

eight years old ~ the hairbrush broke in half

and we both burst into a spontaneous laughter

that literally brought us to our knees.

I remember her playing the piano with myself

standing behind her ~ my hands on her shoulders

while I sang the words of the old standards she

loved to play.

Songs like That Old Black Magic , As time goes by and

Danny Boy .

Those two songs are linked to my CD which is under BOOK & CD AUDIO on my website www.allenroland.com plus another appropriate vocal by myself which is backed up by Scott Deturk and Mel Martin You are My Mother, Earth

Those were magic moments and, in some ways, we bonded through the music we played and sang together.

About ten years before she died she shared with me a reoccurring dream from childhood ~ which still haunted her. The dream was a young golden haired little girl running free in a meadow and laughing in total delight. I told her that the little girl was herself and the dream represented her deep desire to reconnect with that same childhood state of love, joy, delight and soul consciousness.

She said that it was too late for her ~ but the sad reality was that she was getting far too many secondary benefits for being a victim and martyr. In essence, she was afraid of the joy and delight deepest within herself and her deep unworthiness kept her from claiming it.

So, obviously my most precious memory of my mother was when she came to me after she died ~ for it was only then that the shackles of her victimhood had finally been released ~ it was only then that I could truly experience her profound love for me ~ as well as her joyous need to share with me her new awareness of this state of love, joy and soul consciousness deepest within herself .

Finally she was once again that blond haired little girl she longed to be, laughing and running free in that meadow " Allen, I know, Allen, I know .. "

OBAMA IS A FRAUD AS IS HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND BIN LADEN'S RECENT DEATH

Beneath the Obama birth certificate hoopla lies a far deeper issue that the majority of Americans feel Obama is a fraud and a shill for Wall Street and the financial elite. Little has been done by Obama to dispel that mistrust and now even his recently disclosed birth certificate appears to be a fraud along with Bin Laden’s recent death: Allen L Roland

President Obama can now finally claim he delivered on a promise with his public announcement four years ago that “We will kill Bin Laden” but it is common knowledge in intelligence circles that Bin Laden died in December, 2001 due to an untreated lung complication, the Pakistan Observer reported, citing a Taliban leader who allegedly attended the funeral of the Al Qaeda leader. Bin Laden, according to the source, was suffering from a serious lung complication and succumbed to the disease in mid-December, in the vicinity of the Tora Bora mountains. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,41576,00.html

More importantly, Osama bin Laden never claimed to be the "mastermind" or "intellectual author" of the 9/11 attacks, and there was never any proof provided that he was. Responsibility for the 9/11 attacks was assigned to him by a number of governments (most prominently, the US and Israel) and the mainstream media.

Obviously, Obama is still fraudulently shilling for the so called War On ( Of ) Terror in a blatant attempt to cover up his many false promises of 2007. It’s also obvious that Bush, Cheney and eventually Obama all knew of Bin Laden’s death but used him as an excuse for their illegal military excursions and empire building. The bottom line is ~ if it was Osama bin Laden who was killed, then the body would have been put on public Display, and since that wasn’t done, then the body wasn’t his. Not that it will matter in the U.S. where the sheeple are waving flags and celebrating their latest bamboozle by the Obama administration.

The reason for the burial at sea is to hide the fact that Osama Bin Laden actually died in late 2001 and they were keeping his legend alive for propaganda purposes. The scam is so obvious that it’s ridiculous ~ but as Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, once said ~ “ You keep up your lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous” because the people are afraid of the truth and its implications. Obama is desperate for a victory of any sort but this one will be short lived because of its political timing and obvious questionable authenticity.

Bin Laden’s assassination, quite simply, is a hoax and Al Qaeda is a CIA inspired myth; never in living history has a man died so many times. I assume this is the last time but the germ of this on going hoax is the 9/11 cover up which continues to this day. Pandora’s Box is finally opening ~ Must see Nine minute Video: http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/1092.html

The current hard truth is that President Obama’s broken campaign promises have not only eroded his progressive and Independent base but have dropped his approval ratings to new lows. 71% of Likely U.S. Voters say the country is heading in the wrong direction, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey taken the week ending Sunday, April 24 ( Pre Bin Laden Hoax ) Voter confidence that the nation’s best days are still to come has also fallen to its lowest level ever and a plurality of voters believes that most members of Congress are corrupt.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 22% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Thirty-eight percent (38%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -16 and that figure has been continually sliding.

And another problem is that 52% of Americans want a new leader and deeply mistrust the President who promised change and did not deliver but instead hitched his wagon to Wall Street and the financial elite and left Main Street to pay the price for the administration’s excessive and unpopular bailouts. Trillions of American taxpayer dollars were given, in secrecy, to the banks/people who were most responsible for causing the financial crisis in the first place ~ and all in great secrecy.

There is real anger in the streets toward Obama and it’s not just the Tea Party ( the new name for the hard Christian right ) but also extends through all genders and age groups who generally feel both abandoned and betrayed by Obama’s broken promises.

Obama’s billion dollar re-election campaign is meant to scare off a solid progressive candidate or Independent in the primaries. Obama can be beat within his own party with the right candidate ~ he’s that vulnerable. With the price of gas heading towards an eventual $5 a gallon, many voters are beginning to finally realize that President Obama is running on empty promises.

So the birth certificate issue is the tip of the iceberg regarding Obama’s problems with the electorate and now it appears that the before mentioned birth certificate may well be a fraud.

Where Obama was actually born is the least of our problems.

That being said, the document on the White House web site is NOT a scan of a print document as the White House claims it is.

It's a digital creation!

Which means ~ it's a fraud.

Here's the detailed analysis from BrasscheckTV

10 minute Video: http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/1089.html

And why am I not surprised?

It appears that in attempting to close the door on this birth certificate issue, Obama has opened the door on a far greater issue ~ which is the significant loss of trust Americans have with his presidency. The Bin Laden death fraud reinforces this issue and opens other doors which will eventually lead to the 9/11 cover up.

As Mike Whitney explains ~ “The fact is, Bin Laden is just an inconsequential cog in the mighty machinery of state propaganda. This has more to do with "perception management" than terrorism. Bin Laden just provides a credible rationale for pursuing policies that are contrary to the public's interest. Any Hollywood-type villain would have done just as well. (Although it does help that he's a Muslim and 75% of the world's remaining oil reserves are located in countries that are predominantly Islamic)” See full story http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article28008.htm

Unfortunately, it is apparent that our real government consists of unelected bankers and corporate special interests. The argument regarding Obama’s birth certificate legitimacy pales in comparison to the growing realization that the entire office of the president has been usurped for at least 2 decades by Wall Street and the corporate elite~ and Obama takes his orders from them and most certainly not from the American people. As such, do not believe anything Obama says as he tries to justify his re-election as President. These are words I once said about George W Bush and they were proven correct.

LIBYA MILITARY ESCALATION / OBAMA'S AND McCAIN'S FOLLY

In an obvious political ploy for a bipartisan winning war pelt, Obama has escalated our Libya kinetic military action and enlisted Sen. John “Bombs Away” McCain to sell NATO’s increasingly transparent oil grab, empire defense and Regime Change under the guise of humanitarian intervention: Allen L Roland

Ah yes, Obama has lost not only his old magic but his progressive and Independent base ~ who are fed up with his broken promises and are actively seeking a true progressive to defeat him in the upcoming presidential primaries.

On December 7, 2007 Barack Obama said "The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation” ~ another broken promise thrown into the trash can of history as President Obama orchestrates regime change and an obvious oil grab in Libya under the guise of a NATO humanitarian intervention. The Obama administration launched this new war with no official congressional authorization, little if any public debate and with a vague and non-existent endgame in mind ~ except, of course, thinly veiled regime Change.

But now in a desperate and transparent attempt to gain bipartisan support for this illegal action, Obama has enlisted Senator John “Bombs Away “ McCain to sell this North African misadventure.

And just who are these so-called Libyan Rebels? Check out the pictures of the "rebels." Do you really think these guys could push back a military force? Even once?

It’s a photo Op war fueled by the Main Stream Media and now Senator John McCain who called his recent visit to charade-town one of "the most inspiring days of his life." Five minute Video: http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/1084.html

As for ‘Bomb, Bomb’ McCain ~ John McCain never saw an illegal war he didn't like or, for that matter, a crooked banker. Remember, McCain was one of the "Keating Five" who aided one of the biggest scams of the Savings and Loan crisis days. McClain’s proclamation that the media-created Libyan "rebels" provided him one of the most inspiring days of his life has virtually zero credibility. The well known problem with McCain is that he doesn't keep his stories straight ~ perhaps its old age but here’s a three minute video that was passed around and viewed by over 2 million BrasscheckTV viewers during the 2008 election as a reminder of who we are dealing with. 3 Minute Video: http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/325.html

What has already taken place ~ and further military escalation is now being proposed ~ goes well beyond a "no fly zone" and also goes well beyond what the UN Security Council approved. The UN never approved a military campaign for regime change, but that is what France, Britain, and the U.S. are conducting, under the pretense of "protecting civilians." Moscow has harshly criticized the actions of the Western coalition and their partners, rightfully arguing that NATO is abusing its UN mandate while hardening the resolve of the CIA advised rebel opposition, of which virtually nothing is known ~ for reasons I have already discussed.
More importantly, In the past, Presidents told lies to trick Congress into authorizing wars. The War on Libya is different: President Obama started the war first, and THEN lied about it.

The President said he wanted to protect innocent civilians in Libya. However. . There was NEVER any evidence that Qaddafi intended to target innocent civilians. The President must have known this. And yet, Congress has done NOTHING to hold the President accountable for this lie.

The President has now admitted that his real goal is NOT to avert the killing of civilians, but to remove Qaddafi from power. Here we have more "mission creep," just like in previous wars. Now, the use of U.S. ground troops is not only possible, it's probable. Here’s two reasons why ~

1.The only way for Obama to politically "save face" is to achieve "victory" by removing Qaddafi from power.
2. But the only way to remove Qaddafi is invasion.

But then there’s the puzzle of the Libyan central bank which may fully explain McCain’s recent visit to Libya.

In an article posted on the Market Oracle, Eric Encina observed: “One seldom mentioned fact by western politicians and media pundits: the Central Bank of Libya is 100% State Owned. . . . Currently, the Libyan government creates its own money, the Libyan Dinar, through the facilities of its own central bank. Few can argue that Libya is a sovereign nation with its own great resources, able to sustain its own economic destiny. One major problem for globalist banking cartels is that in order to do business with Libya, they must go through the Libyan Central Bank and its national currency, a place where they have absolutely zero dominion or power-broking ability. Hence, taking down the Central Bank of Libya (CBL) may not appear in the speeches of Obama, Cameron and Sarkozy but this is certainly at the top of the globalist agenda for absorbing Libya into its hive of compliant nations.”

Now we know why Congress has done NOTHING to hold the President accountable for plunging the U.S. into a war of uncertain aims and goals ~ the plutocracy is fully in favor of eliminating Qaddafi who won’t play be the rules and control of the new world order. Don’t forget, Obama answers to the Global financial elite and not to the American people.

As Cynthia McKinney eloquently says, “ Understanding the war against Quaddafi as a war in defense of empire is another step in the direction of helping us ask ourselves whether we want to continue along this path of empire-building. Or do we instead want to honor the democratic principles we are taught to believe are the foundations of our country?” http://www.veteranstoday.com/2011/04/27/banking-and-the-economics-of-the-invasion-of-libya/

Barbara Jordon once said ~ "What the people want is very simple - they want an America as good as its promise” and that is one giant promise that President Obama cannot continue to keep breaking with his continued defense of Empire building.

Obama’s and McCain’s folly in Libya must be ended soon and we end it by the same method we ended the Vietnam conflict ~ we stop funding it!
