		<description>&lt;p&gt;One other reason why I refuse to vote for the annointed one. Someone who sells out their lifelong friends, a president who picks a foreigner to be chief of staff-- not any president I want to have anything to do with.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You libs are going to be very surprised/ disappointed, when Obama increases military spending, expands the war in Afganistan, and refuses to put forward any timetable for withdrawal from Iraq.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The only thing good I can say about Obama is that he is not McCain, but to be honest, I don&#039;t think McCain could afford to be half as agressive militarily as Obama, given how badly the repugs have misplayed their hand.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, if Obama loses, I will be laughing, laughing-- as Alexander Cockburn says, the best thing for the world itself is to see the true face of American empire, not some candy-coated dreamboat like Obama.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Americans need to start asking whether the USA is a &lt;i&gt;Rechtstaat&lt;/i&gt;, where laws are enforced according to a regular, predictable and non-descriminatory system, or a &lt;i&gt;Judenstaat&lt;/i&gt;, where Jews are privileged over non-Jews.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Functions Manual: Criminal Division of the DOJ (http://www.usdoj.gov/jmd/mps/manual/crm.ht)  says the following on the Office of Special Investigations. &lt;blockquote&gt;   Special investigations - since its creation in 1979, the Office of    Special Investigations has been responsible for detecting, investigating, and    taking legal action to denaturalize and/or deport persons who took part in    Nazi-sponsored acts of persecution committed abroad during the period 1933-45    and, since December 2004, also for detecting,    investigating, and taking legal action to denaturalize persons who    participated abroad in acts of genocide or in acts of torture or extrajudicial    killings committed under color of foreign law. &lt;/blockquote&gt; As far as I know the OSI has investigated neither for Jews  involved in Soviet torture, extrajudicial killings, mass murder, ethnic  cleansing, or genocide nor for Jews involved in revenge  killings or torture after the defeat of Nazi Germany nor for Jews involved  in pre-state Zionist or Israeli torture, mass murder, ethnic cleansing,  genocide, or extrajudicial killings. Yet both Polish and also Lithuanian  prosecutors have indicted or investigated Israeli Jews for such crimes. (See http://tinyurl.com/25zwfp for  discussion of a Lithuanian case.)   Is there some sort of equal protection violation in the possibly  selective prosecution of someone like  Zajanckauskas &lt;blockquote&gt;      To    US, Vladas Zajanckauskases of Sutton is a war criminal; to his family, he is a    good man       Source: Boston Globe &#124; Date: Sep 29,    2007 &#124; By: Linda Matchan ...would make him the oldest person    ever deported as a result of an investigation by the Justice Department&#039;s    &lt;b&gt;Office&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;of&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Special&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Investigations&lt;/b&gt;. To OSI    officials, this is a story of justice served, a textbook case of a Nazi    collaborator who managed...&lt;/blockquote&gt; or Henss? &lt;blockquote&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;               Federal officials say 85-year-old Lawrenceville man was WWII Nazi          concentration camp guard          &lt;p&gt;According Justice Department and Homeland Security          officials, Paul Henss, an 85-year-old German citizen living in Gwinnett          County, guarded prisoners &quot;at the notorious Dachau and Buchenwald          Concentration Camps in Nazi    Germany.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; According to Wikipedia, Congressman Rahm Emanuel&#039;s father, the Jerusalem-born  pediatrician Benjamin M. Emanuel, was a member of the &lt;i&gt;Irgun&lt;/i&gt;, a Zionist  paramilitary terrorist organization that committed mass murder, ethnic  cleansing, genocide, terrorism, and extrajudicial killings. So far OSI has  undertaken neither investigation nor legal action against either Benjamin  Emanuel or the multitudes of similar Zionist or Soviet Ashkenazi immigrants with  similar criminal backgrounds.   Does the OSI only prosecute non-Jews? Can non-Jewish Eastern Europeans or  Palestinians receive any justice from the US DOJ?    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I do not know about Rep Rahm Emanuel&#039;s dual loyalty. However, it has been alleged, he pressurised at least one democratic candidate running in ILLINOIS for congress to support Israel unconditionally or he would not receive funding from the NDP.&lt;br /&gt;
If he does become the chief of staff if Sen Obama is elected, I do not know whether he will be speaking for our country or Israel if he has dual loyalty.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Weiss: &quot;Why is there a revolving door between Israeli society and ours? Since when did our interests in the Middle East become utterly congruent with a state practicing apartheid against Arabs?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since Jewish Zionist representatives of the Nation of Zion like Emanuel and those before him, who promoted and enabled him and each other, infiltrated American government and the American elite. They&#039;re running an ethnic racket, and a deeply bigoted one at that. How did Emanuel ever get a security clearance in the Clinton White House? Same way Wolfowitz and Feith got one in the Bush White House: the Zionist &quot;pass.&quot;  And the two-party regime professes to take security seriously.&lt;/p&gt;
