\u201cI demand that notice be taken of my negating activity insofar as I pursue something other than life; insofar as I do battle for the creation of a human world\u2014that is, of a world of reciprocal recognitions.\u201d\u2014Frantz Fanon<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFind out just what any people will quietly submit to, and you have the exact measure of the injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.\u201d\u2014Frederick Douglass<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The horrible and massive Israeli Zionist slaughter of Palestinian children, women, and old and young men is, in fact, an\u00a0ongoing<\/em>\u00a0bloody affair which takes place due to the blatant and\u00a0constant\u00a0<\/em>support on the part of the pro-apartheid Zionist, war criminal U.S. president Barack Obama and his corporate-owned Democrat and Republican party cohorts.<\/p>\n

This is the politics of deliberate genocide, terror, and subterfuge. It is also the politics of continued unabated hatred and instability against the everyday ordinary peoples throughout Mother Earth; for as long as this terror, instability, hatred and fear is\u00a0perpetuated<\/em>\u2014the U.S. and other \u2018Western\u2019 governments have the pretext with which to suppress or outright eradicate the civil liberties and human rights of persons (citizens and non-citizens alike)\u00a0within the borders of their own nations.<\/em><\/p>\n

Occasionally, as in recent weeks, the massive wounding and slaughter of the de facto occupied Palestinian people became\u00a0so obvious<\/em>\u00a0that the overwhelmingly biased pro-Zionist U.S. corporate-stream media found it necessary and convenient to\u00a0intensify<\/em>\u00a0its unceasing disinformation and misinformation campaign against the Palestinian people, in particular, and against Arab and African peoples, in general. However, the reality is that\u00a0all<\/em>\u00a0people on this planet\u2014be they of so-called Arab, African, Asian, or European, descent are the\u00a0victims<\/em>\u00a0of this deliberately perpetuated insanity.<\/p>\n

Both the Palestinian Arabs and the Israeli Jews are, essentially, Semitic people. More importantly however, they\u2014like the rest of the people who inhabit Mother Earth\u2014are human. The conflict between the nation-state of Israel and the occupied Palestinian people is fostered by a combination of an ideologically-driven apartheid-Zionism combined with an\u00a0entrenched refusal<\/em>\u00a0on the part of the U.S. and its allies to address the\u00a0root<\/em>\u00a0causes and legitimate grievances of the Palestinian people. There can and will be\u00a0no<\/em>\u00a0genuine or lasting peace with justice until these root causes are forthrightly addressed.<\/p>\n

Grasping history in order to understand the present<\/strong><\/p>\n

At this juncture, it should be clearly understood that all Jewish people are\u00a0not\u00a0<\/em>Zionists just as, for example, in the 1930s and 40s all Italians and Germans were by no means fascists. On the other hand, there are some non-Jewish persons, such as Barack Obama and U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, who are in fact ardently pro-apartheid Zionist. Moreover, it is important to understand that there are deep historical and contemporary factors which shape the unacceptable present day realities, not only as pertains to Palestine and the Middle East, but as it relates to the rest of the world. As long as we remain ignorant and in denial of historical and contemporary\u00a0causal\u00a0<\/em>factors, we remain as malleable putty in the hands of those national and international\u00a0mis<\/em>leaders who use disinformation, fear, and subterfuge to sustain and maintain their economic and political power\u2014at the horrible expense of everyday ordinary Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow people.<\/p>\n

Obama\u2019s bloody hypocrisy<\/strong><\/p>\n

On November 18, 2012, the wily pro-apartheid Zionist, corporate-owned U.S. president, Barack Obama, in an insipid attempt to defend the recent\u00a0indefensible\u00a0<\/em>actions by the Israeli Zionists to massively attack Gaza and wound and slaughter Palestinian people, publicly stated: \u201cThere\u2019s no country on earth that would tolerate missiles raining down on its citizens from outside of its borders.\u201d The utter hypocrisy of Obama\u2019s afore described statement is\u00a0surpassed only<\/em>\u00a0by the blood of the innocent children, women, and men murdered by Obama\u2019s own missiles \u201craining down on\u201d them from outside of their national borders in\u00a0Yemen, Pakistan,\u00a0<\/em>Afghanistan, and Somalia, and elsewhere.<\/em>\u00a0Obama\u2019s hypocritical defense of the murderous actions by the Israeli Zionists is an attempt by one war criminal (i.e., Barack Obama) to defend the indefensible actions of other war criminals (the Israeli Zionists). This, of course, represents Barack Obama\u2019s own brand of massive state-sanctioned terrorism, which in turn, guarantees violent reprisals\u2014which is exactly what Barack Obama, his corporate masters, and their political minions are counting on.<\/p>\n

What better way to ensure \u2018terrorism\u2019 at home and abroad than by planting, in the fallacious name of peace and national security, ticking political time bombs throughout the world while using that very \u2018terrorism\u2019 as the manufactured pretext for ushering in and perpetuating a de facto police state at home? The corporate- owned Barack Obama and his accomplices know precisely what they are doing to the people of this nation and the world\u2014and it has nothing whatsoever to do with economic, political, or physical security for the everyday people of this nation and world!<\/p>\n

It should be kept in mind that this same Barack Obama signed the draconian indefinite detention provision of the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act)\u00a0into law,<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>which egregious police state provision impacts both citizens and non-citizens alike\u00a0inside<\/em>\u00a0the United States. Furthermore, this is the very same Barack Obama who has his very own \u2018Kill List,\u2019 bestowing upon himself the \u2018right\u2019 to engage in unmitigated extrajudicial murders of U.S. citizens and non-citizens anywhere in the world without even the pretense of due process of U.S. law and in horrendous violation of international law. [Reference:\u00a0The NDAA and Obama’s secret kill list\u2014are you on it?<\/em><\/a>]. Finally, this is the same Barack Obama who,\u00a0without\u00a0<\/em>congressional approval and in violation of both the U.S. Constitution and international law, attacked and \u201crained down\u201d missiles and bombs upon the people of Libya (North Africa), not to mention the other sovereign nations that he has and is militarily attacking.<\/p>\n

There can be no doubt whatever that Barack Obama, in service to his corporate masters, is an utter and complete war criminal and that he and his Democrat and Republican Party cohorts have also economically and politically blind-sided, emaciated, and enslaved, as never before, the people of all colors in the United States\u2014all in the hypocritical name of \u2018national security,\u2019 etc.<\/p>\n

The physical atrocities being practiced jointly by the Zionist Israeli nation-state and the United States against the ordinary people of Palestine are part and parcel of a\u00a0much larger scenario<\/em>\u00a0of economic and political apartheid being waged against the everyday people of Mother Earth by an insatiably greedy U.S. and global corporate elite.<\/p>\n

Link the issues and connect the dots<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is imperative that the ordinary everyday people of the United States and the entire world\u00a0link the issues and connect the dots<\/em>\u00a0between the ongoing atrocities being committed against the Palestinian people and how\u00a0we ourselves<\/em>\u00a0are being duped, set-up, manipulated, economically emaciated, and used as political and physical pawns and cannon fodder by the U.S. and global corporate elite which is currently represented by Barack Obama.<\/p>\n

Ordinary peace and justice-loving people of\u00a0all<\/em>\u00a0colors, ethnicities, and nationalities throughout Mother Earth are the targets and victims of perpetual wars and economic austerity. This did not come about through mere osmosis. War, which is actually\u00a0organized<\/em>\u00a0\u2018terrorism,\u2019 is big business for the corporate elite profiteers. Missiles, drones, bombs, timers, tanks, warplanes, warships, bullets, land mines, and a litany of\u00a0related equipment,<\/em>\u00a0represent\u00a0many trillions<\/em>\u00a0of dollars for the corporate elite. The enormous loss in human lives and the pillage of Mother Earth are of little or no consequence to this scandalous corporate elite. In fact ordinary everyday people, who are the cannon fodder and victims in these wars and\/or military adventures, are viewed with\u00a0demonstrative contempt<\/em>\u00a0by this corporate elite. We are viewed\u00a0as idiots and fools to be manipulated, used, and discarded<\/em>\u2014as Barack Obama and his ilk (including the corporate-stream media) repeatedly demonstrate by their lies, omissions, and subterfuge.<\/p>\n

If we everyday ordinary people link the issues and connect the dots we begin to realize that, in varying degrees, we are all Palestinians.\u00a0<\/strong>If we link the issues and connect the dots we can\u00a0take back the political narrative<\/em>\u00a0from these corporate-owned political misleaders and their minions, and in so doing, we can begin to regain our dignity and humanity.<\/p>\n

Remember well the words of Frederick Douglass when he said, \u201cThe limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.\u201d So do not give up or give in! Resist! In Joe Hill\u2019s words, \u201cDon\u2019t Mourn. Organize!\u201d This is a long and arduous struggle\u2014but it is we, the ordinary everyday people, who will ultimately prevail!<\/p>\n

Each one, reach one. Each one, teach one. Onward, then, my sisters and brothers. Onward!<\/p>\n
