Obamination: Treason at the U.N.
President Barack Hussein Obama spewed his first big lie in the third paragraph of his lengthy speech to the General Assembly of the United Nations. The White House made a video available. I have exploited their prepared remarks.
We meet within an institution built from the rubble of war, designed to unite the world in pursuit of peace. And we meet within a city that for centuries has welcomed people from across the globe, demonstrating that individuals of every color, faith and station can come together to pursue opportunity, build a community, and live with the blessing of human liberty.
every faith
The big lie: 'individuals of every color, faith and station can come together to pursue opportunity, build a community, and live with the blessing of human liberty." Muslims are Allah's slaves1, they can not enjoy liberty and they are mandated to enslave the rest of the world2.Men and women and children have been murdered by extremists from Casablanca to London; from Jalalabad to Jakarta.
by extremists
The 9/11 attack as well as the attacks on Bali, Beslan, London, Madrid & Mumbai were perpetrated by believers3. Acting in obedience to Allah's commands; in emulation4 of Moe's sunnah, they are believers implementing standard Islam, not extremists. What Moe preached5 and practiced6 is sunnah, not extremism.This glossing over the objective factual reality of the relationship between Islam and terrorism is treason against the human race as well as against the United States of America.
...Underneath these challenges to our security and prosperity lie deeper fears: that ancient hatreds and religious divides are once again ascendant; that a world which has grown more interconnected has somehow slipped beyond our control.
ancient hatreds
Islam inculcates hatred of everything non-Islamic. It refers to Jews & Christians as those who incurred Allah's wrath and went astray and labels us the "worst of living creatures"7. Predators constantly observe and probe for weakness, when they find it, they exploit it. Presidents Carter & \Clinton displayed weakness, leading to the resurgence in terror attacks. Let me begin with what we have done. I have had no greater focus as President than rescuing our economy from potential catastrophe. And in an age when prosperity is shared, we could not do this alone. So America has joined with nations around the world to spur growth, and the renewed demand that could restart job creation.
We are reforming our system of global finance, beginning with Wall Street reform here at home, so that a crisis like this never happens again. And we made the G20 the focal point for international coordination, because in a world where prosperity is more diffuse, we must broaden our circle of cooperation to include emerging economies -- economies from every corner of the globe.

And we made the G20 the focal point for international coordination, because in a world where prosperity is more diffuse, we must broaden our circle of cooperation to include emerging economies -- economies from every corner of the globe.
emerging economies
"Economic development" translates to industrialization, which implies export markets. The consequences of which are cheap imports driving out domestic producers, killing jobs in the process. The doctor administers poison, which kills the patient instead of the disease.As for our common security, America is waging a more effective fight against al Qaeda, while winding down the war in Iraq. Since I took office, the United States has removed nearly 100,000 troops from Iraq. We have done so responsibly, as Iraqis have transitioned to lead responsibility for the security of their country.
against al Qaeda
Al-Qaeda is Ikhwan al-Muslimeen, which is Islam. It is Islam which declared and is prosecuting war against the world8, but Obama can't recognize that fatal fact. No politician can recognize that fatal fact because the consequence would be recognition of the fact that we must either cause 1.3 billion people to cease being Muslims or cease living. No politician can accept those alternatives.security of their country
They are Muslims, interested only in conquest, not security. Shi'ia & Sunni need to kill each other and take their wealth. Peace security, liberty & responsible government are not possible in Iraq at this time and never will be until Islam is eliminated.We are now focused on building a lasting partnership with the Iraqi people, while keeping our commitment to remove the rest of our troops by the end of next year.
partnership
Allah explicitly forbids partnership, friendship & alliance9 with disbelievers. Only an ignorant fool thinks such partnership is possible.Now let me be clear once more: The United States and the international community seek a resolution to our differences with Iran, and the door remains open to diplomacy should Iran choose to walk through it. But the Iranian government must demonstrate a clear and credible commitment and confirm to the world the peaceful intent of its nuclear program.
peaceful intent
Is it possible for an informed person to give credence to that crap? Iran has openly expressed its intention to eliminate Israel and conquer the world. Islam compiled the Qur'an from Moe's ravings. Hitler wrote Mein Kampf. In 1938 the world ignored the latter book with deadly consequences. They continue to ignore the Qur'an, and the consequences will be far worse this time.After making historic investments in clean energy and efficiency at home, we helped forge an accord in Copenhagen that -- for the first time -- commits all major economies to reduce their emissions. We are keenly aware this is just a first step. And going forward, we will support a process in which all major economies meet our responsibilities to protect the planet while unleashing the power of clean energy to serve as an engine of growth and development.
protect the planet
The planet needs protection from these power grabbing demagogues who exploit a contrived crisis to seize more power. Anthropogenic climate change is a big lie and its false cures threaten prosperity & liberty in the worst way.Last year, I pledged my best efforts to support the goal of two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security, as part of a comprehensive peace between Israel and all of its neighbors.
two states
Any peace proposal that includes Muslims living within rocket range of Israel has no merit whatsoever. While there is Islam there will be no peace. It ain't possible and anyone who would read the Qur'an10 & hadith11 would comprehend that fact.Israel's recovery of and governance over land conquered by caliph Umar in 638 is an intolerable blasphemy to Muslims. Israel is living proof of the fact that Allah is an impotent idol because her existence proves his promises12 to be void. Allah promised irreversible gain of land. He also promised that they could defeat a force twice their number.
By recovering a portion of her ancient patrimony and defeating the Arab armies, Israel proved Allah to be impotent. Muslims can not and will not tolerate that.
But this month, I am pleased that we have pursued direct negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians in Washington, Sharm el Sheikh and Jerusalem.
direct negotiations
Muslims only make demands, they never make concessions. That is not negotiation. Exactly which provisions of the Oslo Accords have they implemented?I hear those voices of skepticism. But I ask you to consider the alternative. If an agreement is not reached, Palestinians will never know the pride and dignity that comes with their own state.
alternative
Let Israel respond to the next provocation by sending the Falestinians home, either to Hell, where they belong or to Egypt & Jordan.pride and dignity
Why should a rogue pack of illegal occupiers have pride, dignity or a state??? Falestinians are undifferentiated Arabs from various nations. Some of them descended from the occupiers who followed Umar's conquest, others who took advantage of economic development generated by returning Jews in the middle of the 19th century. The West Bank an d Gaza were illegally seized from Israel in 1948, they were the fruits of conquest, Israel won them back, they belong to her.Israel has a long history in that land, they are indigenous to it, Muslims are not. When Muslims held it, they never made it a nation nor a capital. Thee is no such thing as a "Palestinian " nation, state or culture. The whole damn thing is a political fabrication.13
Israelis will never know the certainty and security that comes with sovereign and stable neighbors who are committed to coexistence.
committed to coexistence
Blessed right they won't! Muslims are dedicated to politicide & genocide and will not be satisfied by anything less! The quote is true torn out of context, in context is remains part of a damnable lie. Concessions, appeasement and negotiations will never, under any circumstances yield peace & security for Israel. It ain't possible now, was not possible in 1948, and it will never be possible so long as Muslims are involved.More blood will be shed. This Holy Land will remain a symbol of our differences, instead of our common humanity.
more blood shed
There is no other possibility, the doctrines of Islam guarantee it.common humanity
Malignant malarkey!!! There is no common humanity with Muslims, they sold their souls to Satan1 for a false promise of eternity in a celestial bordello, abandoning their humanity.“We will spare no effort and we will work diligently and tirelessly to ensure these negotiations achieve their cause.”
achieve their cause
The purpose of the "negotiations" is to screw the Jews out of land; to extort insufferable concessions which will reduce their security without any compensating benefit.We know that there will be tests along the way and that one test is fast approaching. Israel’s settlement moratorium has made a difference on the ground and improved the atmosphere for talks.
settlement moratorium
Malignant, malicious malarkey! There is no good cause why Jews should not be allowed to build homes, cultivate the soil and live in peace and security anywhere in Eretz Yisrael. The atmosphere for talks is cyanide, was so from the beginning, and always will be no matter what concessions Israel might make. Netanyahu was a damned traitor to impose the freeze and doubly so if he extends it in violation of a solemn promise. Abbas could have started talks any time in the last year, under the false color of a construction freeze. He chose not to. To Hell with him!!Now is the time for this opportunity to be seized, so that it does not slip away.
opportunity
They had the opportunity in 1948, they wasted it. They had the opportunity at Oslo, they wasted it. They had the opportunity at Wye River... This is the Charlie Brown Syndrome: the damned fool will always trust Lucy, and she will always snatch the ball away at the last second. His butt will land in a puddle and his head on a rock. It never fails. Some morons are so stupid that they will never learn. Clinton could have learned from Carter & Reagan. Shrub could have learned from Carter, Reagan & Clinton. Obama could have learned from Carter, Reagan, Clinton & Shrub. Could have, should have, did not. I despair of ever electing anyone intelligent enough to learn from history.Now, peace must be made by Israelis and Palestinians, but each of us has a responsibility to do our part as well. Those of us who are friends of Israel must understand that true security for the Jewish state requires an independent Palestine -- one that allows the Palestinian people to live with dignity and opportunity. And those of us who are friends of the Palestinians must understand that the rights of the Palestinian people will be won only through peaceful means -- including genuine reconciliation with a secure Israel.
friends of Israel
Obama is a friend of Rashid Khalidi14, not of Israel.Jewish Security : Palestine
Israel and Palestine are synonymous terms. The Jerusalem Post was once named the Palestine Post. Palestine is a linguistic corruption of a name imposed as an insult by Roman occupiers after they suppressed a rebellion. The "Palestinian people" are Jews! The Arabs so lovingly given the title "Palestinian" are not deserving of a state or any other special privilege. They will never make peace, they will only make constant, continuous war with genocidal intent.Jewish security requires one state: Israel, with no Muslims within rocket range. Israel will not obtain peace & security until the region is purged of Muslims.
rights of Palestinians
Israel has a right to live securely in that land without invasion or threat. Nobody else has any right to that land. No such Falestinian right exists!reconciliation
Can lions and lambs be reconciled? If predator and prey can not be reconciled, then Falestine and Israel can never be reconciled. Obama never runs out of malignant malarkey to spew.I know many in this hall count themselves as friends of the Palestinians. But these pledges of friendship must now be supported by deeds. Those who have signed on to the Arab Peace Initiative should seize this opportunity to make it real by taking tangible steps towards the normalization that it promises Israel.
Arab Peace Initiative
`That so-called peace initiative is entirely bogus, not made in good faith. A demand for return to 1967 borders is absolutely unacceptable, as is any scheme not resulting in full recognition, trade relations and permanent termination of the boycott & terrorism. So long as the Arabs remain Muslim they will never make a peace initiative in good faith.And those who speak on behalf of Palestinian self-government should help the Palestinian Authority politically and financially, and in doing so help the Palestinians build the institutions of their state.
institutions
If they wanted the institutions of state, they would have created them instead of buying rockets, explosives and luxuries for their leaders with the billions that have been poured down that sewer in the last 60 years.Those who long to see an independent Palestine must also stop trying to tear down Israel. After thousands of years, Jews and Arabs are not strangers in a strange land. After 60 years in the community of nations, Israel’s existence must not be a subject for debate.
Israel’s existence
Israel's existence is the issue. Sane, sober and informed people know that Islam will never tolerate the existence of Jews, much less a Jewish state on land once conquered by Islam The reason for that rejection has already been explained above. If Obama has read the Charter of Hamas15, he must be aware of this fatal fact.The conflict between Israelis and Arabs is as old as this institution. And we can come back here next year, as we have for the last 60 years, and make long speeches about it. We can read familiar lists of grievances. We can table the same resolutions. We can further empower the forces of rejectionism and hate. And we can waste more time by carrying forward an argument that will not help a single Israeli or Palestinian child achieve a better life. We can do that.
The conflict
The conflict between Islam and Jews dates back to the seventh century, when Jews recognized Moe's plagiarism & impious fraud rejected it.make long speeches
That is what Carter, Clinton & Shrub did, they made long speeches, ignored objective factual reality, inverted justice & morality and screwed Israel just as Obama did at the UN.empower the forces
of rejectionism
Yes, President Obama, you can and you did precisely that by catering to the illegitimate demands of Islam and demanding suicidal concessions from Israel.If you want to help Falestianians achieve a better live, then emancipate them from enslavement to Allah.
This time, we should draw upon the teachings of tolerance that lie at the heart of three great religions that see Jerusalem’s soil as sacred. This time we should reach for what’s best within ourselves. If we do, when we come back here next year, we can have an agreement that will lead to a new member of the United Nations -- an independent, sovereign state of Palestine, living in peace with Israel.
teachings of tolerance
Malicious malignant malarkey!!! Islam teaches intolerance, hatred, cursing and genocidal war.16Jerusalem’s soil as sacred
The Islamic interest in Jerusalem is proscriptive: keeping it out of the hands of Jews. Islam has only one connection to Jerusalem, a mythical night journey supposedly made by Moe on a flying donkey. 17new member
The U.N. already has enough Muslim members, it does not need any more! There never was a Falestinian state, and if there is any justice in this world, there never will be.The world that America seeks is not one we can build on our own. For human rights to reach those who suffer the boot of oppression, we need your voices to speak out. In particular, I appeal to those nations who emerged from tyranny and inspired the world in the second half of the last century -- from South Africa to South Asia; from Eastern Europe to South America. Don’t stand idly by, don’t be silent, when dissidents elsewhere are imprisoned and protesters are beaten. Recall your own history. Because part of the price of our own freedom is standing up for the freedom of others.
stand idly by
What did you do, Mr. President, while Ahmadinejad's goons were beating, raping & slaughtering citizens who demanded honest elections after he rigged them? Did you speak out? Did you stand up and demand justice? Did you bring a resolution for decisive action to the Security Council? Who will bell the cat?So even as we have come through a difficult decade, I stand here before you confident in the future -- a future where Iraq is governed by neither tyrant nor a foreign power, and Afghanistan is freed from the turmoil of war; a future where the children of Israel and Palestine can build the peace that was not possible for their parents; a world where the promise of development reaches into the prisons of poverty and disease; a future where the cloud of recession gives way to the light of renewal and the dream of opportunity is available to all.
a future
Nice dreams, impossible to obtain by your methods. Iraq, Afghanistan and the Levant will not obtain peace while Islam prevails in those nations and that region. Islam is entirely inimical to peace and security because it is permanent war.Economic progress will only be impeded or reversed by increasing government intervention in economies. Socialism & Communism have been tried and found lacking. Only a free market economy can produce prosperity.
This future will not be easy to reach. It will not come without setbacks, nor will it be quickly claimed. But the founding of the United Nations itself is a testament to human progress. Remember, in times that were far more trying than our own, our predecessors chose the hope of unity over the ease of division and made a promise to future generations that the dignity and equality of human beings would be our common cause.
unity
This nation was formed from thirteen recently liberated colonies who had thrown off the yoke of tyranny. They united to form a common defense against external aggression. They wisely instituted a limited government with specifically prescribed powers, retaining the rest to the people and the states.The past struggles of this nation and the recent problems experienced by the European Union shine a bright light on the idiocy of the concept of unitary world government. While the American people retain a scintilla of common sense, they will not succumb to such a suicidal idea. We will only retain our liberty and prosperity while we remain sovereign & independent. The UN is not able to act expeditiously and effectively because it is dominated by numbers, not by virtue. The prey can not prevail while they are outnumbered and out voted by predators within their council.
- 9:111. Verily, Allâh has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties; for the price that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allâh's Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. It is a promise in truth which is binding on Him in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and the Qur'ân. And who is truer to his covenant than Allâh? Then rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded. That is the supreme success .
- 8:39. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allâh) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allâh Alone [in the whole of the world ]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allâh), then certainly, Allâh is All-Seer of what they do.
- Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, has ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah Alone or give Jizya (i.e. tribute); and our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says:-- "Whoever amongst us is killed (i.e. martyred), shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever amongst us remain alive, shall become your master." [Sahih Bukhari 4.53.386 Emphasis added]
- 8:2. The believers are only those who, when Allâh is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts and when His Verses (this Qur'ân) are recited unto them, they (i.e. the Verses) increase their Faith; and they put their trust in their Lord (Alone);
8:3. Who perform As-Salât (IqâmatasSalât) and spend out of that We have provided them.
8:4. It is they who are the believers in truth. For them are grades of dignity with their Lord, and Forgiveness and a generous provision (Paradise).
8:5. As your Lord caused you (O Muhammad ) to go out from your home with the truth, and verily, a party among the believers disliked it;
8:6. Disputing with you concerning the truth after it was made manifest, as if they were being driven to death, while they were looking (at it).
8:7. And (remember) when Allâh promised you (Muslims) one of the two parties (of the enemy i.e. either the army or the caravan) that it should be yours, you wished that the one not armed (the caravan) should be yours, but Allâh willed to justify the truth by His Words and to cut off the roots of the disbelievers (i.e. in the battle of Badr). [Emphasis added.] - 2:195. And spend in the Cause of Allâh (i.e. Jihâd of all kinds, etc.) and do not throw yourselves into destruction (by not spending your wealth in the Cause of Allâh), and do good. Truly, Allâh loves Al-Muhsinûn (the good-doers).
- 9:83. If Allâh brings you back to a party of them (the hypocrites), and they ask your permission to go out (to fight), say: "Never shall you go out with me, nor fight an enemy with me; you agreed to sit inactive on the first occasion, then you sit (now) with those who lag behind."[Emphasis added.]
- 33:21. Indeed in the Messenger of Allâh (Muhammad ) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allâh and the Last Day and remembers Allâh much.
- ...That is because they suffer neither thirst nor fatigue, nor hunger in the Cause of Allâh, nor they take any step to raise the anger of disbelievers nor inflict any injury upon an enemy but is written to their credit as a deed of righteousness.... [9:120 Emphasis added.]

It is reported on the authority of Sa'b b. Jaththama that the Prophet of Allah (may peace be upon him), when asked about the women and children of the polytheists being killed during the night raid, said: They are from them. - 1:7.

If you have come forth to strive in My Cause and to seek My Good Pleasure, (then take not these disbelievers and polytheists, etc., as your friends). You show friendship to them in secret, while I am All-Aware of what you conceal and what you reveal. And whosoever of you (Muslims) does that, then indeed he has gone (far) astray, (away) from the Straight Path .
- 9:29. Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
- 7:167. And (remember) when your Lord declared that He would certainly keep on sending against them (i.e. the Jews), till the Day of Resurrection, those who would afflict them with a humiliating torment. Verily, your Lord is Quick in Retribution (for the disobedient, wicked) and certainly He is OftForgiving, Most Merciful (for the obedient and those who beg Allâh's Forgiveness).[Emphasis added.]

Narrated Abu Huraira:
While we were in the Mosque, the Prophet came out and said, "Let us go to the Jews" We went out till we reached Bait-ul-Midras. He said to them, "If you embrace Islam, you will be safe. You should know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle, and I want to expel you from this land. So, if anyone amongst you owns some property, he is permitted to sell it, otherwise you should know that the Earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle." - Sunan Abu Dawud 14.2477
Narrated Ibn Hawalah:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: It will turn out that you will be armed troops, one is Syria, one in the Yemen and one in Iraq. Ibn Hawalah said: Choose for me, Apostle of Allah, if I reach that time. He replied: Go to Syria, for it is Allah's chosen land, to which his best servants will be gathered but if you are unwilling, go to your Yemen, and draw water from your tanks, for Allah has on my account taken special charge of Syria and its people. - Sahih Muslim Book 041, Number 6985:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews. - 13:41. See they not that We gradually reduce the land (of disbelievers, by giving it to the believers, in war victories) from its outlying borders. And Allâh judges, there is none to put back His Judgement and He is Swift at reckoning. [Emphasis added.]
- 8:66. Now Allâh has lightened your (task), for He knows that there is weakness in you. So if there are of you a hundred steadfast persons, they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a thousand of you, they shall overcome two thousand with the Leave of Allâh. And Allâh is with As-Sâbirin (the patient ones, etc.).
- Palestinian people do not exist
July 11, '02, Joseph Farah published under that title, in World Net Daily, a revelation of truth difficult for many to accept. He lifted the wool, exposing the fraud perpetrated by the propagandists. One quote in that article stands out above the rest for the clarity of its revelation.
The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism. ...[Zahir Muhsein, P.L.O. Executive Cmte.] - http://www.campus-watch.org/article/id/9911
- "Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it." (The Martyr, Imam Hassan al-Banna, of blessed memory)."The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Muslim generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up. ""There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors." http://www.mideastweb.org/hamas.htm
- 3:85. And whoever seeks a religion other than Islâm, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.

9:30. And the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allâh, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allâh. That is a saying from their mouths. They imitate the saying of the disbelievers of old.

I was carried on it, and Gabriel set out with me till we reached the nearest heaven.
