Obama Unveils His Inner Cheney
In this passage of Obama's speech yesterday he lays out a system of indefinite detention of innocents that is illegal, against basic human rights and against all morals. It is Cheney at his worst simply clad in new cloth.
Now, finally, there remains the question of detainees at Guantanamo who cannot be prosecuted yet who pose a clear danger to the American people. And I have to be honest here—this is the toughest single issue that we will face. We’re going to exhaust every avenue that we have to prosecute those at Guantanamo who pose a danger to our country. But even when this process is complete, there may be a number of people who cannot be prosecuted for past crimes, in some cases because evidence may be tainted, but who nonetheless pose a threat to the security of the United States. Examples of that threat include people who’ve received extensive explosives training at al Qaeda training camps, or commanded Taliban troops in battle, or expressed their allegiance to Osama bin Laden, or otherwise made it clear that they want to kill Americans. These are people who, in effect, remain at war with the United States.
Let me repeat: I am not going to release individuals who endanger the American people. Al Qaeda terrorists and their affiliates are at war with the United States, and those that we capture—like other prisoners of war—must be prevented from attacking us again. Having said that, we must recognize that these detention policies cannot be unbounded. They can’t be based simply on what I or the executive branch decide alone. That’s why my administration has begun to reshape the standards that apply to ensure that they are in line with the rule of law. We must have clear, defensible, and lawful standards for those who fall into this category. We must have fair procedures so that we don’t make mistakes. We must have a thorough process of periodic review, so that any prolonged detention is carefully evaluated and justified.
This is all terribly wrong.
- Someone got explosive trainings? So what – most soldiers on this world have received such.
- Someone led the Taliban in battle? So what – the Taliban ain't al-Qaeda and had a right to defend their country against invaders.
- Someone expressed allegiance to Osama bin Laden? So what – pledging allegiance is not harming anyone.
- Someone wants to kill Americans? So what – first they may have a good reason and second if they try, the police and the court system can take care of them. How many Americans say each day "I am going to kill that sucker." Will they now all be indefinitely imprisoned without trial and without being found guilty of something?
U$ 23) That ain’t nuthin’…a thousand miles to the north up in Seattle, Governor Gregoire announced her new Climate Initiative, the first time in living memory that government has instituted what will become a $947 BILLION “climate tax” bleed on its own people, when there is absolutely no evidence, and certainly no laboratory confirmation, that CO2 is a significant cause of recent imperceptible warming, or that there ever was a stasis in the cycle of glaciation, that reducing CO2 by some kind of magic retro-genie back to the Stone Age, will affect climate in the least.
Walk through you local supermarket. Aisle after aisle of whirring freezer cases full of frozen tombstones, compressors burning kWHrs 24x7x365 until the pull date, then another tombstone burning another 1000 kWHr ad infinitum. Beginning tonight, the charger on some disabled veterans wheel chair will be taxed just the same as a freezer-burned tombstone pizza. Beginning tonight, the incubator keeping a premie alive will be charged the same tax as the lights flaming the debauch of Las Vegas.
But forget for a moment, that tonight the American Dream went into retrograde and permanent recession. The climate tax will affect the entire world, if not directly, if not agreed upon, then by tariffs. The cold chain in India and China will remain a dream for more than a billion people. In India, 40 MILLION tonnes of food will rot, and 120 MILLION people will starve. In China, those numbers are even higher.
The Final Solution will come not with a bang, but a whisper, ping of a dying ember.

Now you’ll begin to see the insanity, the bad science, the greed, ‘green grants’ for $Bs in nonviable solutions like ‘clean coal’ fraud, or ‘bioalgae oil’ fraud.
Our government sees that $947 BILLION windfall, it sees climate change legislation opening the door to a new era of socialist oligarchy, where the will of the people is subsumed forever to the technocrats, and within that press of stones, the worms and weasels whose exchange contracts and hedges on energy amount to $600 TRILLION.
Cheney, Obama, war crimes, oilogopoly, none of that will matter. “Green jobs”, like gas station attendants, like satellite dish installers, the manufacturing will all be done in China, only paying jobs will be the hordes of new technocrats, launching like may flies from the surface of the pond, choking your face and hair, little technocrat gnats and no-seeum’s in every home, in every shop, little green-shirted econazis telling you to turn out your lights, and stop watering your lawn, and pay $500 a year to relicense your vehicle, while the lights on the towers in Gotham and Babylon burn like diamonds, and the political whores and the lechers swirl in giddy drunkenness on capitol lawns. $947 BILLION dollars a year, their bacon is saved!!
“Climate change!” “Change you must believe!” “Yes we can!” In the blink of an eye tonight, while you were reading a book, or watching TV, or drinking a beer in some bar, it began. Silently, like a zephyr swirling the snow on some arctic ice shield, slowly growing, moaning, fiercer, roaring, louder, it’s coming, and finally here.
The Whirlwind. American Katrina. The Carbon Tax & Trade Charade… Our Chernobyl.
