U.S Troops To Be Used In Libya?

U.S Troops To Be Used In Libya?

Let us take a look at the CBS article,

The United States may consider sending troops into Libya with a possible international ground force that could aid the rebels, according to the general who led the military mission until NATO took over.

Army General Carter Ham told Congress today that while sending a globalist ground invasion force including American troops into Libya may not be “ideal,” it is probably the only way to make sure the CIA organized rebels defeat Gaddafi and his troops.

I find this bit of news interesting because Mr. Obama told the American Press that the U.S Military will not send ground troops into Libya but the same time the administration has not ruled out the idea. This to me is a clear sign of a ‘possible’ U.S. led invasion.

I wonder how the rest of the world will look at the country if we deploy ground troops in a country that is currently under revolution. Time will tell I’m sure.

IMF Urged To Use Surplus Gold For Financial Relief.

IMF Urged To Use Surplus Gold For Financial Relief.

Article Date:  April 4, 2011

Will quote the whole article,

Development groups have called on western governments to use $2.6bn (£1.6bn) from the sale of International Monetary Fund gold to finance a new wave of debt relief for the world’s poorest nations.

The IMF’s board will meet in Washington on Wednesday to discuss what it should do with the profits raised from disposing of just over 400 metric tonnes of gold, one eighth of the IMF’s total stock of the precious metal.

When it announced the sell-off in September 2009, the IMF said the move was an important step in putting its finances on a “sound long-term footing”. It added that important components of the strategy would be the creation of an endowment and a boost to concessional lending to developing nations.

Tim Jones, policy officer at the Jubilee Debt Campaign, urged the big western shareholders that dominate decision-making at the IMF to use the money for debt relief.

“The IMF is doing very well out of the economic crisis it helped to create, with a windfall from gold sales and profit from lending,” Jones said. “Yet, many poor countries have been forced into debt through no fault of their own, whether due to disasters or the financial crisis caused by western banks. The IMF should use its excess money to cancel such debts.”

He said a total of 58 civil society organisations and networks from across the world have written to the governments that control the IMF, calling on them to use the windfall to cancel poor countries’ debts. Signatories include Oxfam International, the International Trade Union Confederation, Action Aid International, Cafod, Save the Children and the World Development Movement.

Collins Magalasi, executive director of the African Forum and Network on Debt and Development, said: “This is a long-awaited opportunity for the IMF to cancel poor countries’ debts. The IMF has always said it lacks the money to be able to write off the debts of these poor countries. Now that there is an excess, it is only logical to use this money to cancel debts that are further crippling poor economies. For most African countries total foreign debt is a third of earnings from exports.”

Campaigners said Sierra Leone was an example of a poor country that had seen its debts increase as a result of the financial crisis. They said Sierra Leone’s debt to the rest of the world had doubled in recent years and in 2011, more of the government’s revenue would be spent on debt repayments than on healthcare.

I think we should view this news as a sign of how bad the global economy may be. While we keep hearing that things are slowly getting better we also keep hearing about budget cuts, tax breaks, bailouts, program cuts, ect.

Me personally, I think we will all soon find out just how bad things really are. This financial crisis has yet to be felt and when it comes down to it we are to blame because we have let our politicians run our countries.

French Forces Join Assault In Ivory Coast.

French Forces Join Assault In Ivory Coast.

Article Date: April 4, 2011

I quote a statement from the article,

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — U.N. and French helicopters attacked Laurent Gbagbo’s last strongholds in Abidjan on Monday as forces loyal to Ivory Coast presidential claimant Alassane Ouattara streamed into the city in a “final assault.”

A quick re-cap on whats been happening in the Ivory Coast since March 1,

Gbagbo’s supporters carried out a number of attacks during March, attacking foreign businesses and UN offices in Abidjan on 1 March and killing at least six people attending a pro-Ouattara rally in the city. The northern suburb of Abobo was attacked by Gbagbo’s forces on 13 March in a bid to drive out pro-Ouattara supporters, and mobs were also reported to be roaming the city looking for their opponents and attacking or killing them. The violence resulted in 10 confirmed deaths and scores more wounded. Abobo came under heavy attack on 17 March, killing 30 people, when shells were into a crowded market from a nearby military barracks. It was unclear whether Gbagbo or Outtara supporters were responsible, though Abobo is generally pro-Ouattara. On 18 March, the UN issued a statement saying that the shelling was “an act, perpetrated against civilians, [that] could constitute a crime against humanity.” Another 52 people were killed in continuing violence in Abidjan between 21-26 March.

So with one side on its final assault the other has remained on the defensive. The United Nations has decided to join Quattara with chopper strikes against Gbagbo forces. Apparently the U.N has been in the Ivory Coast for a while only assisting in aid missions this I didn’t know.

United States President Barack Obama on March 27 released a statement telling Gbagbo to step down and hand over power to Quattara. Gbagbo has remained in power. I’m sure within a couple of days we will see what comes of this.

Former CIA Officer Explains The Libyan Situation.

Former CIA Officer Explains The Libyan Situation.

Video Description: The video explains the situation in Libya. As I stated in a previous article, when Obama announced the end of U.S. operations in Libya they never mentioned anything about the Central Intelligence Agency. I would also like to point out how the two reporters were trying to question Michael Scheuer’s responses even though the former CIA officer was only responding to their questions.

The United States Political System

The Illusion of Choice

By, WeThePeople

 Thanks To jnyblujns

The reason for this thread is to show the American people how our political system has been set up to create an image of choice. I don’t say this off of bogus claim. I did my research and there seems to be a voting habit between us Americans.

If we take a look at our voting habits by party going back 100 years starting with our current president.

——————————————————-

Barack Obama, 2009- (Democrat)

George W. Bush, 2001- 2009 (Republican)

Bill Clinton, 1993- 2001(Democrat)

George Bush Sr., 1989-1993 (Republican)

Ronald Reagan, 1981-89 (Republican)

Jimmy Carter, 1977-81 (Democrat)

Gerald Ford, 1974-77 (Republican)

Richard Nixon, 1969-74 (Republican)

Lyndon Johnson, 1963-69 (Democrat)

John Kennedy, 1961-63 (Democrat)

Dwight Eisenhower, 1953-61 (Republican)

Harry Truman, 1945-53 (Democrat)

Franklin Roosevelt, 1933-45 (Democrat)

Herbert Hoover, 1929-33 (Republican)

Calvin Coolidge, 1923-29 (Republican)

Warren Harding, 1921-23 (Republican)

Woodrow Wilson, 1913-21 (Democrat)

William Taft, 1909-13 (Republican)

——————————————————-

The fact is, we would have to go back to our 13th president, Millard Fillmore, elected in 1850 as a member of the Whig Party, to find a president that wasn’t a member of one of the two major parties [Rep & Dem]. With a few exceptions, we follow almost the exact same pattern throughout history. We elect a Republican, then we realize they didn’t do what they said they would, so we elect a Democrat next, same thing happens with them, so we elect a Republican the next time around. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

Could it be that whoever we vote for truly doesn’t matter? Better yet we should ask ourselves why we tend to stick to these two political parties. It’s not because these parties offer something more than the other parties because each party pretty much carry similar ideology.

Have you ever stopped to think that maybe the Republican or Democrat may just be two sides of the same coin? The politicians in these parties are raised in the same American families and social circles. Educated in the same colleges, fraternities and secret societies. Beholden to the same corporations and special interest.

Does it not seem at times that it’s almost scripted the way the two parties go back and forth? Do either of the parties ever really accomplish anything other than to divide the country and forces people to pick a side?

Growing up we have always heard the famous saying, “Together We Stand, Divided We Fall.” Then there’s the quote from Mark 3:25 in the Bible, “And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”

My point is, have we all been conditioned and deceived into believing we have a choice in this country. That the decision to choose a side may not be a decision. After all we are repeating history over and over again. The more we progress into the future the more it seems the world hates us, yet we keep supporting the same policies and ideologies that these politicians support.

I will end this article with a video that I find very on point to the way our society has become due to this Illusion of Choice and our failure to acknowledge it.

I do not consider myself to be for any political group or faction. I along with LibertyTruthOne represent my generation, the American people, the Constitution, and of course logical thinking.
