Celebrity President Obama Gives Press Interview to Glamour Magazine

by Scotty Starnes

Obama's love their magazines

Obama is scared shit-less someone in the Obama-worshiping media will ask him a tough question on the economy, the fiscal cliff, deficits, debt, unemployment, lower median household income, poverty or his explanation of "the private sector is doing fine" & "you didn't build that" comments.

Looks like Obama is running away from his record.

From Politico:

Yet another push in President Barack Obama's soft-media strategy, unearthed this morning by WWD's Erik Maza:

Editor-in-Chief Cindi Leive flew to Portland, Ore., last month to sit down with the president for an interview that will appear in the magazine's November issue. It is not the first time Obama has sat down with Glamour — he did so in 2008, along with John McCain — but it is his first time as a sitting president. ...

Glamour pitched them on a big audience, said Washington editor Linda Kramer Jenning. "There's a lot of attention being paid to young, women voters," Jenning said. "That's the calling card that opens the door." It took five months to lock down some face time.

Jenning said Leive asked the president about women's health care, among other topics, even though the interview took place before the recent uproar over the antediluvian comments about rape by Missouri Rep. Todd Akin.

The GOP’s Big Government Baggage


The GOP's Big Government Baggage
Posted by Malou Innocent

The Republican National Convention is just days away, so it's relevant to point out that the longer big-government interventionists are associated with the GOP, the more terms like " limited government" and "free markets" will lose all meaning. One Republican who epitomizes the damage of this guilt by association is former Vice President Dick Cheney. He won't be at the convention, but his message surely will be.Below are two arguments put forward by Cheney, the first about Iraq in 2002, the second about Iran in 2007:
Armed with an arsenal of these weapons of terror, and seated atop ten percent of the world's oil reserves, Saddam Hussein could then be expected to seek domination of the entire Middle East, take control of a great portion of the world's energy supplies, directly threaten America's friends throughout the region, and subject the United States or any other nation to nuclear blackmail.
And on Iran:
There is no reason in the world why Iran needs to continue to pursue nuclear weapons. But if you look down the road a few years and speculate about the possibility of a nuclear armed Iran, astride the world's supply of oil, able to affect adversely the global economy, prepared to use terrorist organizations and/or their nuclear weapons to threaten their neighbors and others around the world, that's a very serious prospect. And it's important that not happen.
What is so remarkable about this vision proffered by Cheney is how it fails to elucidate precisely how either country threatens America's interests or economic well-being. If one were to challenge the validity of Cheney's claims, questions would include:
  • What is the likelihood of such a hypothetical disruption?
  • What is the harm if America's access to markets is closed, and for how long?
  • How would the perpetrators of the closure be affected?
  • How has America dealt with such disruptions in the past?
  • Would there be available alternatives?
  • And, most importantly, would the risks to America's interests and economic well-being be worse if it took preventive action?
Cheney evokes the imagery of America spreading stability and peace, while his world view relies on aggressive militarism that destroys both. What is particularly appalling is his implication that the United States must protect "the world's energy supplies" and "the world's supply of oil." Chris Preble has drawn on a rich body of literature that shows why such claims do not withstand scrutiny.

Remarkably, Cheney represents a Republican constituency supportive of free markets, and yet his world view contradicts basic free trade and free market principles. He believes that free markets thrive only when peace and stability are provided by the U.S. government­and there's the rub.

Rather than a world of economic exchange free of the state and its interventions, government must enforce global order for free trade to occur. Cheney's vision of free markets impels American expansion.

At its heart -- and far from free market -- the former vice president's world view fulfills a radical interpretation of U.S. foreign policy. Cheney gives new life to the works of revisionist historians like William Appleman Williams, by propagating the pernicious notion that U.S. intervention abroad is required to control the flow of raw materials and protect America's wealth and power.

Israel:Military Justice System Fails Victims of Gaza Conflict

Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu,

Prime Minister,

Office of the Prime Minister,

Re: Israel:Military Justice System Fails Victims of Gaza Conflict

 

Dear Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu,

 

I am William Nicholas Gomes, Human Rights Ambassador for Salem-News.com.

 

I have been informed by Human Rights Watch regarding the military trial that ended August 12, 2012, failed to hold anyone accountable for the killings of a mother and daughter during Israel's military operation in Gaza in December 2008 and January 2009.

According to HRW, The two women were killed when an Israeli soldier opened fire on a group of civilians holding white flags to demonstrate their civilian status. The case concluded after a soldier pled guilty to "unlawful use of arms" without any conclusion that the action was linked to the killings. In a civil case, Israeli authorities paid compensation to the women's families.

 

"The Israeli military received strong evidence in dozens of cases that its soldiers killed Palestinians unlawfully during Israel's 'Operation Cast Lead,' yet the military has indicted only four soldiers, and jailed none on such charges," said Eric Goldstein, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. "The scant accountability for the apparent crimes by Israeli soldiers casts grave doubt on Israel's willingness to prosecute crimes by its forces."

 

Rayya Abu Hajjaj, 56, and her daughter Majida Abu Hajjaj, 35 were killed at around 1 p.m. on January 4, 2009, while trying to leave Juhr al-Dik, a village near the Israeli border in central Gaza that had come under Israeli attack, witnesses told Human Rights Watch. After an Israeli military radio broadcast told civilians to leave, and to seek medical treatment for a child wounded by a shell that struck a house in which they had sought shelter that day, the women joined a group of around 28 Palestinians holding white flags, witnesses said. Two of the four witnesses said they saw an Israeli soldier open small arms fire on the group without warning, fatally wounding the two women. The other witnesses could not identify the source of the shooting.

 

The witnesses told Human Rights Watch that the Israeli military had refused permission to allow medical teams to reach the area after the shooting. Rayya's son, Majid Abu Hajjaj, told Human Rights Watch that he returned to the family's home on January 20 and found the bodies of his mother and sister in the street. "The bodies were still lying there – Majida had been run over by a tank," he said. "The next day our neighbors came and brought us her [severed] foot. My mother's body was in the yard, too, partially buried under some sand."

 

Israeli and Palestinian rights groups, the United Nations Fact-Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict, and journalists independently documented the shooting incident. The military has not sought to justify the fact that its troops opened fire, either by claiming that Israeli forces were under attack or that the women who were shot posed any threat.

 

The Israeli military prosecutor charged a soldier with the manslaughter of an unidentified Palestinian in the area where the women were killed, but the prosecution said it could not identify the victim. The prosecution closed its case against the soldier on August 12, dropping the manslaughter charge when he pled guilty to a diminished charge of "unlawful use of arms" for shooting his assault rifle without authorization.

 

The military court sentenced the soldier, identified as Staff Sgt. "S." from the Givati Brigade of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), to 45 days in jail. He will be the second Israeli soldier to serve jail time for his actions during the 2008-09 Gaza conflict, in which Israeli forces committed numerous apparent violations of the laws of war. Israel jailed one other soldier for seven-and-a-half months, for stealing a Palestinian's credit card.

 

Israeli media reported that the prosecutor and the soldier's lawyer agreedthere was no conclusive proof that the shooting had caused the women's deaths because Palestinian witnesses and Israeli soldiers gave different versions of the incident to military investigators, including the date the women were shot. The prosecutor's office apparently took no steps to re-interview Palestinian witnesses to help resolve the discrepancies, even though an Israeli rights group that helped facilitate the Palestinians' testimony urged military investigators to do so in July 2010, when the military first published a brief description of the case.

 

The case points to serious flaws in the Israeli military justice system, Human Rights Watch said. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported in July 2010 that, "as in several other cases," the January 2009 killing "was not reported up the chain of command beyond the battalion and brigade levels," and that the military advocate general's office, which is responsible for prosecuting soldiers for crimes, "only learned of the killing because Palestinians filed a complaint via human rights groups." The Israeli rights group B'Tselem wrote to the military advocate general with extensive details about the case in May 2009. The military prosecutors filed charges against "S" in July 2010.

 

Human Rights Watch found that Israeli criminal investigations of apparent laws-of-war violations in the Gaza conflict were not prompt, thorough, or impartial. Investigations also failed to credibly examine policies authorized by senior levels of the country's political and military leadership that may have led to violations of the laws of war, including rules of engagement that allegedly led to shootings of civilians, firing high-explosive artillery shells into populated areas, and the widespread destruction of civilian property.

 

In the Israeli military system, in many cases, alleged crimes are prosecuted only if soldiers from the unit that was involved first report the incident to officers in the chain of command. Since both the soldiers and the officers to whom they are reporting may be implicated in the violation, the system is not conducive to reporting events that should be criminally investigated, Human Rights Watch said. It also delays criminal investigations, which may not be initiated until after the reporting procedure, known as an "operational debriefing," is completed. An additional problem is that the "debriefings" are intended primarily as a lessons-learned exercise and are not conducted by criminal investigators.

 

In July 2010, the military said it had opened an investigation after being informed of the killings. The military prosecutor indicted "S" for opening fire without authorization and for the manslaughter of an unidentified Palestinian in Juhr al-Dik on January 4, 2009, an Israeli governmental report stated, but the identity of the person "S" killed could not be confirmed. The report noted unspecified "inconsistencies" between the military's initial investigations and other reports.

 

The military spokesman's office said on July 6, 2010, that soldiers who were questioned said the shooting incident killed a Palestinian man and occurred on January 5, 2009, whereas Palestinian witnesses said it was January 4. This discrepancy contributed to the court's conclusion that there was no proof that the women were killed when "S" opened fire.

 

B'Tselem, which helped arrange for the Palestinian witnesses to give testimony to the military, wrote to the military prosecutor when the military first reported the discrepancy, asking investigators to take steps to clarify the date. But the military prosecutor did not call the Palestinian witnesses for new interviews to clarify the discrepancies, B'Tselem stated.

 

Haaretz reported that "S"'s lawyers contended that no body had been recovered, although B'Tselem said it provided the military with the women's death certificates.

 

On August 1, 2011, Israel agreed to pay 500,000 shekels (US$123,000) in compensation to the Abu Hajjaj family in a civil case filed over the women's deaths. The family, represented by the Palestinian Center for Human Rights in Gaza, closed its civil claim as a result. Civil compensation for victims of international crimes does not relieve a state of its obligation to prosecute a deliberate killing of a civilian by its military forces, Human Rights Watch said.

 

With the conviction of "S," the Israeli military courts have convicted a total of four soldiers for violations of Israeli military law during the 2008-09 Gaza conflict. A military court in November 2010 demoted and gave three-month suspended sentences to two soldiers for forcing a civilian boy to open a bag they suspected was booby-trapped (it was not).

 

In another case, an Israeli military court in February 2010 reprimanded a commander in the Givati Brigade for "exceeding his authority" by authorizing an artillery attack that hit the UN Relief and Works Agency field headquarters in Gaza City on January 15, 2009. No members of Palestinian armed groups were present in the UN compound. However, the court-martial case involved only the use of high-explosive artillery shells and did not try the commander for authorizing the use of white-phosphorus munitions in the incident, which caused extensive damage to the UN compound. Hundreds of civilians were sheltering there at the time.

 

In May, Israeli military courts exonerated the same commander of "criminal intent" or "negligence" for ordering an attack on January 5, 2009, on a civilian home where no members of armed groups were sheltering. The attack killed 21 members of the Samouni family. However, the military did not investigate reports that its forces repeatedly denied medical crews access to the Palestinian wounded in the area for three days after that attack. The International Committee of the Red Cross, which attempted to obtain permission from Israeli forces for medical access, later reported finding young children lying without food or water beside their parents' dead bodies.

 

Investigations by Israeli, Palestinian, and international rights groups documented numerous cases of apparent serious violations by Israeli forces during the conflict, during which they killed hundreds of Palestinian civilians.

I want to remind you the state of Israel is standing on the base of injustice and out of the system nothing but injustice you can deliver. The democracy, rule of law and justice is fully absent within the state of Israel, the state need a full reformation.

 

Sincerely

William Nicholas Gomes

OBAMA EMAIL TO SUPPORTERS: IF I LOSE, IT'S YOUR FAULT

by Scotty Starnes

Obama refuses to take blame for anything!

From Breitbart:

Today, President Obama sent out a campaign email essentially blaming his supporters if he loses. See, he's supposedly being outspent. And because he's supposedly being outspent, he's losing. And he can't spend more money unless his supporters fork it over.

This is the campaign version of Obama's entire economic argument: he can't fix the economy unless he spends more money. And unless we give him more money, he can't spend it. So if the economy fails, it's our fault.

Here's the perverse logic:

Last week, when I was in Iowa, voters told me they were feeling it. The numbers back it up: Our side is getting outspent 2-to-1 on the air there.

But the folks asking me about this don't want an explanation -- they want to know what I'm going to do about it.

And the fact is that solving this problem is up to you ….

We're losing this air war right now.

I don't have as much time to campaign this time as I did in 2008, so this whole thing is riding on you making it happen.

What utter bullshit. Campaigning is all Obama has done...well except adding record amounts to the national debt. Spending and campaigning is all Obama knows.

Ryan and Biden: Birds of a Feather


Ryan and Biden: Birds of a Feather
Posted by Laurence Vance on August 24, 2012 08:16 AM

According to GovTrack.us, during the time Paul Ryan served along side then-senator Joe Biden from 1999 to 2008, they voted the same way on 52 substantive bills including the No Child Left Behind Act, the Patriot Act, and TARP. And some people still think there is a difference between the two parties?

Hey RNC, There Already Was a Gold Commission


Hey RNC, There Already Was a Gold Commission
by Mark A. Calabria
August 24, 2012 @ 11:38 am

The rumor is that Republicans, at their upcoming convention, will call for a government commission to study the feasibility of returning to a gold monetary standard.  The platform would also call for a policy audit of the Federal Reserve, a proposal that has passed the House but is currently stuck in the Senate (and apparently opposed by the Obama White House).

First let's recognize that a GOP gold standard plank isn't all that novel. Republican platforms in the past have often alluded to "a dependable monetary standard," as both the 1980 and 1984 platforms made some reference to monetary matters.  In fact, the 1980 election did result in the creation of a Gold Commission. Cato recently republished the commission's minority report, The Case for Gold, as a free ebook.  So if Republicans want to consider some sort of gold standard, there is already a significant amount written on the topic.  Cato also published a paper in 2008 by George Mason University professor Larry White on the economics of the gold standard.

On a broader level, what these platform additions truly represent is a dissatisfaction with the Federal Reserve, and not only its current monetary policies, but also its role in the numerous bailouts of 2008-9 and the extent to which its obsession with deflation contributed to the creation of a massive housing bubble.  If Republicans truly want to take on the Fed (something I'm not all that convinced of), then exposing the Fed's repeated rescues and support of Wall Street would likely be far more effective.  I've long been puzzled by how President Obama manages to talk tough on Wall Street while he stands next to Tim Geithner.  If Mitt Romney wants to distinguish himself from the current president, the best thing he could do is call for Geithner to resign.

Republicans would also be wise to talk about the relationship between inflation and unemployment in the long run, which appears positive, rather than negative as the proponents of more Fed easing would have us believe.  The single-minded focus on gold is likely to serve more as a distraction than anything else.  I have about as much faith in the federal government picking the correct gold-dollar parity as I do in the Fed picking the correct interest rate.  And of course, who is to say that gold is the correct commodity to use in the first place? But then, this concern is less about gold and more about the Fed.  And while Republicans have regularly talked tough on the Fed, the truth is that it has usually amounted to little more than talk.

FDA just approved pill with computer chip inside

by Dr. Eowyn

Are you forgetful about taking your meds?

Never fear! Enter the age of Digital Healthcare!

Here's this new-fangled nifty little pill imbedded with a computer chip that'll help you keep track of your meds! All because we just want to help you!

Erin Kim reports for CNN Money, Aug. 3, 2012, that a medical tech startup named Proteus Digital Health in the California S.F. Bay Area town of Redwood City, scored a big victory this week when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted approval for the company's "ingestible sensor" invention. It's a 1 square millimeter computer chip -- roughly the size of a grain of sand -- imbedded into a pill which can relay information about your insides to you, and if you choose, to your doctor or nurse.

When you swallow the imbedded pill of your medication of choice, it will go to work inside you, recording the time you took your dose. It transmits that information through your skin to a stick-on patch, which in turn sends the data to a mobile phone application and any other devices you authorize.

Andrew Thompson (pic on left), the kind and oh-so-helpful CEO and cofounder of Proteus, explains that the "system device" chip-inside-a-pill is intended to overcome our forgetfulness. "People live busy and complex lives, and as a result often don't take their medicines correctly," Thompson says. "We wanted to develop a solution that would help make existing medicines more effective in real life."

The European Union (of course!) approved Proteus' "system device" in 2010. The company plans to bring its first product, called "Helius," to market later this year in the U.K. in partnership with the Lloydspharmacy chain.

Helius includes Proteus' mobile health app, a supply of its stick-on patches (they last 7 days, then need replacing) and a stash of its sensor-equipped placebo chips. The company declined to comment on the system's planned price tag.

Clockwise from left: mobile app, a stick-on patch that tracks your body data, pills with embedded chips.

The first wave of Proteus products will rely on placebo pills taken at the same time as the patient's medication. The company hopes to eventually get its sensors built straight into common medications, Thompson says.

Proteus' spent four years working through the FDA approval process. Now that it's got a green light, it plans to begin working on a U.S. version of its Helius system.

The dictionary gives 3 definitions for "proteus":

  1. The satellite of Neptune that is 6th in distance from the planet.
  2. A sea god in Greek mythology who could change his shape at will.
  3. A gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria of the genus Proteus, certain species of which are associated with human enteritis and urinary tract infections.

The word "helius" is the Latinized version of "Helios," which is the sun god in Greek mythology. Given that, the "proteus" of the medical tech company Proteus Digital Health probably refers to the mythological Greek sea god who could change his shape at will.

A pill with an imbedded computer chip that could change its shape at will. Hmmm....
