Obama Fundraiser Raised Funds for Terrorists..

Two years ago, Hatem El-Hady was the chairman of the Toledo, Ohio-based Islamic charity, Kindhearts, which was closed by the US government in February 2006 for terrorist fundraising and all its assets frozen. Today, El-Hady has redirected his fundraising efforts for his newest cause - Barack Obama for President.

El-Hady has his own dedicated page on Barack Obama's official website, chronicling his fundraising on behalf of the Democratic Party presidential candidate (his Obama profile established on February 19, 2008 - two years to the day after Kindhearts was raided by the feds). Not only that, but he has none other than Barack Obama's wife, Michelle Obama, listed as one of his friends (one of her 224 listed friends).

But his leadership of Kindhearts is not the only thing that has brought him scrutiny by federal law enforcement officials. Last summer, El-Hady was questioned by the FBI concerning his knowledge of possible conspirators in a UK-based terror plot.

Hatem El-Hady's interest in "change" is understandable. Following the closure of Kindhearts, he said in response to the government's closure of his organization:

"It's dirty politics," said Dr. Hatem Elhady, chairman of the board of KindHearts, which raised $5.1 million in 2004. "They do not like the way things are going in Palestine. They do not like the election results. But that is not our problem. Our problem is providing aid to people in desperate need of help."

The Department of Justice had a very different version of events. According to the DOJ, Kindhearts assumed the role of lead terrorist fundraising in the US after the government had closed other such Islamic "charities":

"KindHearts is the progeny of Holy Land Foundation and Global Relief Foundation, which attempted to mask their support for terrorism behind the façade of charitable giving," said Stuart Levey, Treasury Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence.

Not only was Kindhearts engaged in providing funds for HAMAS in Lebanon and the West Bank, it had hired as a fundraising specialist the man identified as the designated HAMAS bag man in the US, Mohammed El-Mezain.

And as investigative reporter Joe Kaufman revealed, "The Black Hearts of Kindhearts", a number of other Kindhearts officials were tied to terrorist fundraising and support:

    * KindHearts’ Director of Domestic Programs, Khalifah Ramadan. Ramadan was a training and evaluation consultant for the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), two large Muslim organizations based in the United States that have links to overseas terror groups.
    * KindHearts’ Representaive, Omar Shahin. Shahin was an Imam for the Islamic Center of Tucson (ICT), the former home of numerous terror operatives, including Wael Jelaidan, who later helped found Al-Qaeda.
    * KindHearts’ Representative, Wagdy Ghuneim. Ghuneim, an Egyptian cleric, has been featured in KindHearts fundraising dinners for 2002, 2003 and 2004. During a rally at Brooklyn College, in May of 1998, Ghuneim attempted to persuade the crowd to support violent jihad and labeled Jews as “descendants of the apes.”
    * KindHearts’ Representative, Hatem Bazian. Bazian is an Islamic Studies instructor and a member of the faculty of Near Eastern Studies at UC Berkley. In April of 2004, during a San Francisco anti-war rally, Bazian, a native Palestinian, called for an “intifada” against the United States. This was just two months prior to Bazian being featured in a KindHearts Fundraising Dinner, entitled ‘Palestinians in agony!’
    * KindHearts’ Manager in Lebanon, Haytham Maghawri (a.k.a. Haytham Fawri). Maghawri, the past Social Services Director for HLF, according to the Treasury Department, “collected [KindHearts] funds and sent them to Hamas and other Salafi groups.” [One of the recipients of KindHearts funding was Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) Usama Hamdan, a leader of Hamas in Lebanon.]

And two months before Kindhearts closure by the US government, Beila Rabinowitz had revealed that the South Asia Division Coordinator for Kindhearts, Zulfiqar Ali Shah, had known ties to al-Qaeda, even conducting a 10-day tour with officials for the Tablighi Jamaat organization, which the New York Times had described as "a springboard for militancy" and a "recruitment" center for Al-Qaeda.

Barack Obama has promised change. And as indicated by the public support that his candidacy has received by accused terrorist fundraiser Hatem El-Hady, Obama's version of change that terrorists and their US supporters can believe in.

Obama's website quietly ditches Hamas supporter
Page for terrorist fundraiser suddenly disappears after drawing attention

The Obama campaign quietly removed from its official website a page managed by a fundraiser tied to the Islamic terrorist group Hamas.

The page for Hatem El-Hady – former chairman of an Islamic charity closed by the U.S. government for terrorist fundraising – listed Barack Obama's wife, Michelle, as one of three "friends" as recently as yesterday, according to blogger Charles Johnson.

But by yesterday morning, days after Johnson's "Little Green Football's" site drew attention to the El-Hady page, Michelle Obama's name had been removed. Then, later in the day, the entire page disappeared.

Johnson observed: "There's a lot of talk about William Ayers and his connections to Obama, but please note that in El-Hady we have someone who is apparently connected with Hamas – not decades ago, but as recently as 2006."

El-Hady was head of the Toledo, Ohio-based Kindhearts for Charitable Human Development, a spinoff of the Holy Land Foundation, the Dallas-area group indicted by the Justice Department for terrorist financing.

The Department of the Treasury in 2006 issued a statement on KindHearts when federal authorities blocked the group's assets during their investigation.

Treasury said KindHearts officials and fundraisers "coordinated with Hamas leaders and made contributions to Hamas-affiliated organizations."

The federal authorities found evidence of connections between KindHearts and Hamas in Lebanon and the West Bank in support the Palestinian Intifada.

"KindHearts is the progeny of Holy Land Foundation and Global Relief Foundation, which attempted to mask their support for terrorism behind the facade of charitable giving," Stuart Levey, Treasury under secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, said at the time.

As WND reported, presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain is looking to cash in on the recent endorsement of Obama by Hamas terrorists.

The McCain campaign sent out a fundraising letter one week ago, quoting an interview by WND's Aaron Klein and WABC Radio in which Ahmed Yousuf, Hamas' top political adviser in the Gaza Strip, said Hamas "hopes" Obama will win the presidential elections and change America's foreign policy.

"Barack Obama's foreign policy plans have even won him praise from Hamas leaders," the e-mail from McCain deputy campaign manager Christian Ferry says. "We need change in America, but not the kind of change that wins kind words from Hamas, surrenders in Iraq and will hold unconditional talks with Iranian President Ahmadinejad."

I'm beginning to think that many people are finally realizing who this Obama is and how radical he is. It isn't just a far left ideology for Obama, rather nearly every facet of his real life. It shouldn't be any surprise that Hamas him to become President. All terrorists and nations wanting to destroy Israel and Israel's friends probably want the same thing, but most of them are smart enough to know that their endorsement hurts Obama's chances.

However, I might be naive to think that many of Obama's supporters are seeing the light. After all, Obama looks pretty and gives good speeches. Otherwise, he is a candidate void of qualifications and being appropriate for the job. Obama would be more appropriate for a country like Iran.

Well we can certainly hope that Obamaians are wising up, but then again I don't think they could claim to be too "bright" to begin with!

Wright affirms U.S. to blame for 9/11
Pastor affirms U.S. to blame for 9/11, calls criticism 'attack on black church'

In an appearance at the National Press Club in Washington today, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. added fuel to Barack Obama's self-described "firestorm" by reaffirming his assertion the U.S. brought the 9/11 attacks on itself, contending American soldiers in Iraq have died "over a lie" and calling news reporting of his sermons an attack on the black church.

Wright, answering reporters' questions after a series of media appearances over the weekend, first was asked about his claim the U.S. was responsible for the 2001 terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington.

"If you heard the whole sermon, first of all, you heard that I was quoting the ambassador from Iraq," Wright began. "But Number Two, to quote the Bible: 'Be not deceived. God is not mocked, for whatsoever you sew, that you shall – '"

The pastor paused at that point, allowing some members of the audience to finish the citation with "reap."

"Jesus said do unto others as you would have them do unto you," Wright continued. "You cannot do terrorism on other people and expect it never to come back on you. Those are biblical principles, not Jeremiah Wright bombastic, divisive principles."

Wright, regarded by Obama as a spiritual mentor and adviser, recently retired as senior pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.

During the press conference, Wright scolded media for repeated airing of inflammatory remarks from his sermons, saying it is "not an attack on Jeremiah Wright, it is an attack on the black church."

The session with reporters touched on the issue of Obama distancing himself from Wright's speeches by claiming he was not in attendance to hear the anti-America and racially charged statements broadcast by media

A reporter asked whether Obama regularly attended church and paid attention during sermons.

"He goes to church about as much as you do," Wright replied. "What did your pastor preach in the last week? You don't know?"

Wright said he won't stop criticizing the U.S. government if Obama becomes president, because the complaints are over policy, not the people.

The pastor told the candidate, he said, if elected and inaugurated, "I'm coming after you."

"Whether he gets elected or not, I'm still going to have to be answerable to God on November 5 and January 21," Wright said.

Last month, after what he called a "firestorm" sparked by the sermon videos, Obama gave a speech in Philadelphia in which he denounced Wright's remarks but refused to "disown" him.

In a January 2006 sermon, Wright called America the "No. 1 killer in the world" and blamed the country for launching the AIDS virus to maintain affluence at the expense of the Third World. The pastor reportedly said in a sermon just after 9/11, "The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color." In a 2003 sermon, Wright encouraged blacks to "damn America" in God's name and blamed the U.S. for provoking the 9/11 attacks by dropping nuclear weapons on Japan in World War II and supporting Israel since 1947.

At the National Press Club today, Wright addressed doubts about his patriotism.

"I served six years in the military. Does that make me patriotic?" he asked. "How many years did (Vice President Dick) Cheney serve?"

Last week, Wright gave his first interview since the controversy began, with Bill Moyers of PBS, then made an appearance at an NAACP event last night in Detroit. He is in Washington today and tomorrow for a symposium on the African-American religious experience.

The pastor told the NAACP audience last night he was not there "for political reasons."

"I'm not a politician. I know that fact will surprise many of you, because many in the corporate-owned media made it seem like I am running for the Oval Office," he said. "I am not running for the Oval Office. I've been running for Jesus a long, long time, and I'm not tired yet."

Obama, meanwhile, spoke gave an interview to "Fox News Sunday" yesterday in which he admitted his relationship with Wright is a political issue.

"I think that people were legitimately offended by some of the comments that he had made in the past," Obama told host Chris Wallace. "The fact that he is my former pastor I think makes it a legitimate political issue. So I understand that."

Obama argued, however, "it is also true that to run a snippet of 30-second sound bites, selecting out of a 30-year career, simplified and caricatured him, and caricatured the church. And I think that was done in a fairly deliberate way."

Wright praises Louis Farrakhan Again
Security reportedly provided by Nation of Islam bodyguards

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, explaining this morning why he had waited so long before breaking his silence about his incendiary sermons, offered a paraphrase from Proverbs: "It is better to be quiet and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

Barack Obama's pastor would have been wise to continue to heed that wisdom.

Should it become necessary in the months from now to identify the moment that doomed Obama's presidential aspirations, attention is likely to focus on the hour between nine and ten this morning at the National Press Club. It was then that Wright, Obama's longtime pastor, reignited a controversy about race from which Obama had only recently recovered - and added lighter fuel.

Speaking before an audience that included Marion Barry, Cornel West, Malik Zulu Shabazz of the New Black Panther Party and Nation of Islam official Jamil Muhammad, Wright praised Louis Farrakhan, defended the view that Zionism is racism, accused the United States of terrorism, repeated his view that the government created the AIDS virus to cause the genocide of racial minorities, stood by other past remarks ("God damn America") and held himself out as a spokesman for the black church in America.

In front of 30 television cameras, Wright's audience cheered him on as the minister mocked the media and, at one point, did a little victory dance on the podium. It seemed as if Wright, jokingly offering himself as Obama's vice president, was actually trying to doom Obama; a member of the head table, American Urban Radio's April Ryan, confirmed that Wright's security was provided by bodyguards from Farrakhan's Nation of Islam.

Wright suggested that Obama was insincere in distancing himself from his pastor. "He didn't distance himself," Wright announced. "He had to distance himself, because he's a politician, from what the media was saying I had said, which was anti-American."

Explaining further, Wright said friends had written to him and said, "We both know that if Senator Obama did not say what he said, he would never get elected." The minister continued: "Politicians say what they say and do what they do based on electability, based on sound bites, based on polls."

Wright also argued, at least four times over the course of the hour, that he was speaking not for himself but for the black church.

"This is not an attack on Jeremiah Wright," the minister said. "It is an attack on the black church." He positioned himself as a mainstream voice of African American religious traditions. "Why am I speaking out now?" he asked. "If you think I'm going to let you talk about my mama and her religious tradition, and my daddy and his religious tradition and my grandma, you got another thing coming."

That significantly complicates Obama's job as he contemplates how to extinguish Wright's latest incendiary device. Now, he needs to do more than express disagreement with his former pastor's view; he needs to refute his former pastor's suggestion that Obama privately agrees with him.

Wright seemed aggrieved that his inflammatory quotations were out of the full "context" of his sermons -- yet he repeated many of the same accusations in the context of a half-hour Q&A session this morning.

His claim that the September 11 attacks mean "America's chickens are coming home to roost"?

Wright defended it: "Jesus said, 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.' You cannot do terrorism on other people and expect it never to come back on you. Those are biblical principles, not Jeremiah Wright bombastic divisive principles."

His views on Farrakhan and Israel? "Louis said 20 years ago that Zionism, not Judaism, was a gutter religion. He was talking about the same thing United Nations resolutions say, the same thing now that President Carter's being vilified for and Bishop Tutu's being vilified for. And everybody wants to paint me as if I'm anti-Semitic because of what Louis Farrakhan said 20 years ago. He is one of the most important voices in the 20th and 21st century; that's what I think about him. . . . Louis Farrakhan is not my enemy. He did not put me in chains, he did not put me in slavery, and he didn't make me this color."

He denounced those who "can worship God on Sunday morning, wearing a black clergy robe, and kill others on Sunday evening, wearing a white Klan robe." He praised the communist Sandinista regime of Nicaragua. He renewed his belief that the government created AIDS as a means of genocide against people of color ("I believe our government is capable of doing anything").

And he vigorously renewed demands for an apology for slavery: "Britain has apologized to Africans. But this country's leaders have refused to apologize. So until that apology comes, I'm not going to keep stepping on your foot and asking you, does this hurt, do you forgive me for stepping on your foot, if I'm still stepping on your foot. Understand that? Capisce?"

Capisce, reverend. All too well.

Extremists laud Wright for 'black liberation theology'
Defense of Farrakhan a source of pride for New Black Panther Party

Rev. Jeremiah Wright demonstrated he is a "man of principle" by sticking to his teachings of "black liberation theology" during today's highly publicized session with the news media, Malik Zulu Shabazz, national chairman of the New Black Panther Party, told WND in an interview.

Shabazz, who was in the audience at Wright's National Press Club event in Washington, said he was particularly proud of Wright's defense of Nation of Islam head Louis Farrakhan.

He also labeled as "strong" Wright's accusation U.S. policy was to blame for the 9-11 attacks.

"I respect [Wright] for [defending Farrakhan,]" said Shabazz. "When I look for leadership I look for people of integrity who will stand up for what they believe in and not denounce somebody just because the heat is on... [Wright] stood up and continues to stand up on why he supports Farrakhan and he stands by him."

Shabazz's NBPP is a controversial black extremist party whose leaders are notorious for their racist statements and for leading anti-white activism.

The deceased chairman of the NBPP, Khallid Abdul Muhammad, is a former Nation of Islam leader who was once considered Farrakhan's most trusted adviser. Muhammad gave speeches referring to the "white man" as the "devil" and claiming that "there is a little bit of Hitler in all white people."

During a question and answer session at today's event, Wright praised Farrakhan as "one of the most important voices in the 20th and 21st century... that's what I think about him."

"Louis Farrakhan is not my enemy. He did not put me in chains, he did not put me in slavery, and he didn't make me this color," said Wright.

Wright quoted Farrakhan stating "Zionism, not Judaism, was a gutter religion. He was talking about the same thing United Nations resolutions say, the same thing now that President Carter's being vilified for and Bishop Tutu's being vilified for. And everybody wants to paint me as if I'm anti-Semitic because of what Louis Farrakhan said 20 years ago."

Wright accused the U.S. of carrying out terrorism and used Scripture to defend his claim 9-11 signified that "America's chickens are coming home to roost."

"Jesus said: 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.' You cannot do terrorism on other people and expect it never to come back on you. Those are biblical principles, not Jeremiah Wright bombastic divisive principles," he said.

Shabazz told WND he thought Wright's remarks about 9-11 were "strong... He didn't cut off his principles. He backed it up with Scripture."

Shabazz chalked up Sen. Barack Obama's recent statement distancing himself from some of Wright's positions as "pure politics."

"Because of the climate in which Wright has been raised to the point where it's the number one political liability against Obama... I believe the Wright you have seen the last few days is the Wright Obama met."

Wright himself today indicated Obama was not sincere in distancing himself from his spiritual adviser of nearly 20 years.

"He didn't distance himself. He had to distance himself, because he's a politician, from what the media was saying I had said, which was anti-American," Wright said.

Shabazz said pro-black groups should not change their tactics to ensure the election of Obama.

"Everybody in the black community can't all the sudden change the way and tactics of what they are doing just to please Obama...we love him and respect him and want him to win...but he is not some Messiah-like figure where every way he moves we have to move and we have to always carefully consider what we do and how it may impact him when it comes to the critical matters of the advancement and liberation of black figures."

Shabazz has given scores of speeches condemning "white men" and Jews.

His NBPP's official platform states "white man has kept us deaf, dumb and blind," refers to the "white racist government of America," demands black people be exempt from military service and uses the word "Jew" repeatedly in quotation marks.

Shabazz has led racially divisive protests and conferences, such as the 1998 Million Youth March in which a few thousand Harlem youths reportedly were called upon to scuffle with police officers and speakers demanded the extermination of whites in South Africa.

The NBPP chairman was quoted at a May 2007 protest against the 400-year celebration of the settlement of Jamestown, Va., stating, "When the white man came here, you should have left him to die."

He claimed Jews engaged in an "African holocaust," and he has promoted the anti-Semitic urban legend that 4,000 Israelis fled the World Trade Center just prior to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

When Shabazz was denied entry to Canada last May while trying to speak at a black action event, he blamed Jewish groups and claimed Canada "is run from Israel."

Canadian officials justified the action stating he has an "anti-Semitic" and "anti-police" record, but some reports blamed what was termed a minor criminal history for the decision to deny him entry.

He similarly blamed Jews for then-New York Mayor Rudi Giuliani's initial decision, later rescinded, against granting a permit for the Million Youth March.

In a 1993 speech condemned by the U.S. Congress and Senate, late NBPP chairman Muhammad, lionized on the NBPP site, referred to Jews as "bloodsuckers," labeled the pope a "no-good cracker" and advocated the murder of white South Africans who would not leave the nation subsequent to a 24-hour warning.

All NBPP members must memorize the group's rules, such as that no party member "can have a weapon in his possession while drunk or loaded off narcotics or weed," and no member "will commit any crimes against other party members or black people at all."

WND previously broke the story when the NBPP endorsed Obama on its own page of the presidential candidate's official site that allows registered users to post their own blogs.

The group labels itself on Obama's site as representing "Freedom, Justice, and Peace for all of Mankind." It links to the official NBPP website, which contains what can be arguably regarded as hate material.

Jeremiah Wright undermines racial reconciliation

Conservative black pastor Bishop Harry Jackson, Jr., says the man who claims he led Barack Obama to Jesus Christ is mischaracterizing the history and nature of the black church.

Rev. Jeremiah Wright said in a speech yesterday at the National Press Club that criticism leveled against him for his incendiary sermons is not about him or Barack Obama, but rather "an attack on the black church."
 
Bishop Jackson, a Maryland pastor and founder of the High Impact Leadership Coalition, researched more than 400 black churches for the book he co-authored with George Barna titled High Impact African American Churches. Jackson believes Wright is "bitter and self-absorbed" regarding the issue of race in America and acting in an opportunistic fashion.

"He [has] just retired. He's trying to make a name for himself. In my view, he wants to elevate his own profile to that of Malcolm X or of Louis Farrakhan, or he may even see himself as a [Martin Luther] King-like figure in his own generation," Jackson suggests.
 
"But there is a megalomaniac behind the background that we are looking at -- and I think he did horribly," the pastor offers. "He was prideful and flippant in the interviews and didn't give the forum that he spoke in, at a National Press Club [venue], the respect that it was owed," Jackson contends.
 
According to Jackson, Wright is going about reconciliation in the wrong way and confusing the issue of race. "He is presuming to be a bigger fish in the pond than he is. And it is very sad what's going on because I think it diminishes Barack Obama's campaign, and it also opens up this wound. You could tell by the people who were in the room with him cheering him on that many of them have the same view that he did, and I think that's terrible. It won't help race relations in America," Jackson points out.
 
Jackson says the problem of race in America can be solved first by "bringing the church together, not fostering the hate Jeremiah Wright is involved in." Jackson has co-authored a new book with Tony Perkins titled Personal Faith, Public Policy. In it, they argue that in order for true racial reconciliation to occur in America, Christians must unite behind a set of common principles.

WASHINGTON – He didn't bomb the Capitol or rob banks like his contemporaries in the Weather Underground.

But Carl Davidson, a former vice president of the Students for a Democratic Society who traveled to Cuba to meet with Fidel Castro and still praises the dictator today, is another proud radical for Barack Obama, serving faithfully as webmaster for "Progressives for Obama."

He joins his old SDS collaborator, Tom Hayden, who traveled with Jane Fonda to meet with Vietnamese communist leaders during the height of the Vietnam war. In fact, Fonda, too, Hayden's ex-wife, is part of Progressives for Obama.

Obama recently came under scrutiny for his relationship with William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, two leaders of the communist revolutionary Weather Underground responsible for bombing the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, police stations and other targets in the 1970s.

Ayers and Dohrn, now married, went underground after she was charged with instigating riots at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in 1968 and after several of their fellow SDS Weatherman associates were killed when bombs they were building blew up in a Greenwich Village townhouse. One of those killed was Ayers girlfriend at the time, Diana Oughton. The group was planning to bomb Fort Dix Army Base in New Jersey.

Dohrn publicly celebrated the group's maiming of Chicago prosecutor Richard Elrod in the Chicago riots. In 1970, rich kid Ayers, son of the chairman of Commonwealth Edison, explained what the Weather Underground was all about: "Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that's where it's really at."

Following the mass murders of actress Sharon Tate and others by disciples of Charles Manson, Dohrn had this to say: "Dig it. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, then they even shoved a fork into a victim's stomach! Wild!" Dohrn went on to suggest adopting a "fork" salute might be appropriate for her fellow homicidal maniacs.

Like Davidson and Hayden, Dohrn, along with other members of the Weather Underground, traveled to Cuba to meet with representatives of the communist North Vietnamese and Cuban governments as the Vietnam war raged. Ayers participated in more than 30 bombings during his 11-year reign of underground terror. He says his only regret is not doing more to "bring the war home" to America. In an article he penned for the New York Times op-ed page ironically published Sept. 11, 2001, he wrote: "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough."

On his blog, Davidson talks about meeting Castro in 1968: "He is a remarkable man, with a photographic memory, wide knowledge and keen insights. Cuba will change after him, though, as brother Raul is already looking into the socialist market economy in China and Vietnam, but will undoubtedly make any reforms 'in the Cuban way.' We should all wish Fidel and Cuba well, and double our voices against the blockcade. (sic)

Davidson and Hayden take credit for launching the "Venceremos Brigade," hundreds of young Americans who were covertly transported to Cuba to help harvest sugar cane and mingle with the communist revolutionary leadership in Havana.

Davidson muses about how he could not support John Kerry for president in 2004 because he was not progressive enough. But he is stoked for Obama.

Barak Obama Military Ideas for America (Give me a break) Roll Eyes

Here is what Barak Obama will do to your kids' and grandkids'  future.

OBAMA is standing in front of the camera himself for 52 seconds  explaining how he will disarm the USA.

What we are talking about here IS NOT about politics and the differing  views concerning issues.....this is about the potential literal destruction of this country by our enemies and our inability to defend ourselves against those attacks.

This is a very short (52 seconds) video by Barak Obama in his own words about how he plans to destroy our defense capabilities if elected.

Below is a transcript of what he says. Whats in ( )  is me.

To sum up.....here are his proposals with comments:

....I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems...(STAR WARS (SDI) HAS PROVEN VERY EFFECTIVE AS EVIDENCED BY THE  ABILITY  TO SHOOT DOWN AN ERRANT SATELLITE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.)

  ....I will not weaponize space... (WE WILL BE SITTING DUCKS IN SPACE INSTEAD OF UTILIZING OUR  ACCOMPLISHMENTS FROM THE SPACE PROGRAM TO DEFEND OURSELVES.) 

...I will slow development of future combat systems... (JUST WHAT WE NEED....TO BE BEHIND OUR ENEMIES ON WEAPONS  SYSTEMS) 

..and I wil l institute a "Defense Priorities Board" to ensure  the quadrennial defense review is not used to justify unnecessary spending... (HUH?)

 ....I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons... (GOOD LUCK GETTING N. KOREA, IRAN, RUSSIA TO ACTUAL KEEP THEIR PROMISES...THEY NEVER HAVE)

....and to seek that goal, I will not develop nuclear weapons... (SO WE WILL BE SITTING DUCKS!) 

...I will seek a global ban on the development of fissionable material... (THAT MEANS WE WILL BE THE ONLY ONES OBEYING THE BAN)

....and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert... (AND HOW DO WE KNOW THEY WILL ALSO DO THE SAME)

...and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals... (GREAT!  HOW ARE WE GOING TO DEFEND OURSELVES AGAINST NUCLEAR ATTACKS  IF THEY STRIKE US)

People, if he gets his way, we will become totally defenseless  against Iran, North Korea, China and Russia et al.

Please share this video with others to alert them to the dangers of  his proposals.  This is beyond a disagreement on policies.....this is literally whether this  country survives or not.

We now have a have YouTube confession from Obama.............
