This is Genocide

Report from Associated Press
War Crime:
As Israel surrounds Gaza with troops, tanks lined up and helicopter gunships on standby, ready for an 'extensive operation',
Their supporters call for a massacre of the Palestinian people - "Knock them off one by one until they relent" as one puts it on the BBC News comments pages. The world can see how strong Israel is with their hardcore military weaponry gleaming in the heat waiting to be put into action. The catalogue of weapons at their disposal is impressive, and chilling: fighter aircraft, missiles: air-to-surface, surface-to-surface..., tanks, armoured vehicles, artillery, attack helicopters, submarines and missile craft (we've already seen what they can do to a Palestinian family on a Gaza beach) - and we mustn't forget the nuclear warheads, biological and chemical weapons & atom bombs.
While the media focus on Olmert's words warning that "a large-scale military operation is approaching", With no comment about what the consequences of such action will be for the Palestinian people, And as they relate the concern for the Israeli soldier being held prisoner by Palestinian fighters - the media expresses no concern about the thousands of Palestinian political prisoners held by Israel. The actions of the racist Israeli state and that of their supporters, which includes the BBC, illustrate their total disregard and contempt for Palestinian lives. Rabbi Moshe Levinger, the worst kind of Zionist extremist, founder of the settlements in Hebron, could be the spokesperson for Olmert, Bush, the BBC and our very own government and great leader Tony Blair when, in response to a question about the massacre of Palestinians carried out by one of his followers in Hebron 1994, He says he is "sorry not only about dead Arabs but also about dead flies". It is nothing new that Israel prefers the word 'operation' to massacre as a poll carried out by Israeli TV showed following the massacre of Palestinians in 1994. The poll "established that at least 50% of Israeli Jews would approve of the massacre, provided that it was not referred to as a massacre but rather a 'Patriach's Cave Operation'".
In Hebron today there is a monument to the mass murderer 'Saint Baruch Goldstein'. Whether carried out by a far right extremist settler or by the Israeli government, massacre of Palestinians seems to be acceptable through the eyes of the media and by the 'British values' our government wishes us all to adopt.Our media will not speak of Palestinians and certainly not about the men, women and children being held as political prisoners by Israel, they will not speak about the humiliation, continued dispossession and ethnic cleansing carried out by Israel on a daily basis against Palestinians, never mind the torture of Palestinian prisoners - no matter that they include women and children.
Contact the Bureau Chief's of BBC and CNN in Palestine to tell them to cover what is going on right now in Gaza as fully as possible, so that the millions of people they reach see the ongoing violence of Israeli missile strikes.
Demand also that they break their silence on the story of thousands of Palestinians detained and tortured by Israel. Watch Movie1 Movie 2

The Maintenance of Freedom

by Ronnie LoBello
The impeachment or censuring of George Bush will make a very little difference on the way the way the US bullies third world countries throughout the world. There are many other Neocon wing nuts in our government driven by corporate greed and religious fanaticism. How ever it is a start. Like a forest, cutting one tree does not get rid of the forest but to get rid of the forest you must start with a tree. Not that I advocate getting rid of forest but you know what I mean. There are a lot of trees in the proverbial forest of Neocons and right wing religious mad men creating a dysfunctional world to fit their illusions. We must be vigilant and proactive or these people I talk about will slowly take the freedom we all enjoy away. To get America on course to the ideals of freedom and liberty the "American dream" will take work, America has never realized the full potential of these ideas but we have tasted it. The freedoms we take for granted such as free speech right to religion of choice did not come without a struggle. To get to the freedoms we do have came from clear thinking citizens who wanted a better world. They saw that the reasons for poverty and oppression where politically driven. And the people in power werenÂ’t about to give in to the peopleÂ’s demands without a fight. So the struggle still continues today. ItÂ’s a continuous maintenance program and improvement is always needed Hurricane Katrina demonstrated that.

Iran a Nuclear Threat?

Iran and Nuclear Power.
There is a lot of fear that Iran is developing nuclear capabilities to attack Israel.
This may be partly true. So you should ask why Iran would want to do such a thing. Because if Iran did attack the retaliation from Israel and allies such as the United States and the United Kingdom would be there demise. Maybe the reason would be this. If Iran had the ability to strike with a nuclear weapon it would be hard if not impossible to invade or attack Iran.
Isn’t that why the US and Israel rationalizes having weapons of mass destructions themselves as a defense against an attack? And isn’t it to stabilize peace by detouring any invasion of a foreign army?
It’s no secret that George Bush wants to occupy Iran with a strong military presents ,and it’s very obvious that this idea is supported by Israel and will also be supported by Tony Blair of the UK.
There is a propaganda war going on with the spread of fear and hatred this war is being lead by lies put into our news media. Who runs this media? The dominant name on this list is Rupert Murdock an Australian newsman worth billions of dollars he owns and controls over ¾ of the news agencies around the world. Including the Twentieth Century Fox movie studio, Fox News Channel, TV stations and a number newspapers and the HarperCollins book publisher, Being a Zionist his news network will generally give a very favorable view of Israel and a negative view of the Islamic world, often provoking hatred toward Muslims. For example the coverage of the protest going on over the Mohamed cartoons it is not as wide spread as the news makes it seem, and there seems to be an outside influence in sighting the riots. This is a very minuscule part of the whole Muslim population.
Now wait a minute. Now lets not forget about the Zionist best friend and partner in crime the Christian Coalition of America Headed by Pat Robertson. Pat has a lot of bigoted ideas of the world and is a strong contributor to the Republican Party and has a lot of influences over the Neocons who are in power of the United States, you know the ones with the most powerful army with the most nuclear weapons of mass destruction ever seen in the history of the world. This is why Iraq looks like a threat its made to look like a society of violence crazed lunatics bent on destroying the free world because they don’t like our freedom bla bla bla.
This is the message coming over the mainstream news network. Who are the Neocons? Historically, neoconservatives supported a militant anticommunism, tolerated more social welfare spending than was sometimes acceptable to libertarians and mainstream conservatives, and sympathized with a non-traditional foreign policy agenda that was less deferential to traditional conceptions of diplomacy and international law and less inclined to compromise principles even if that meant unilateral action. Indeed, domestic policy does not define neoconservatism — it is a movement founded on, and perpetuated by an aggressive approach to foreign policy, free trade, opposition to communism during the Cold War, support for Israel and Taiwan and opposition to Middle Eastern and other states that are perceived to aledgedly support terrorism.Broadly sympathetic to Woodrow Wilson's idealistic goals to spread American ideals of government, economics, and culture abroad, they grew to reject his reliance on international organizations and treaties to accomplish these objectives.Compared to other U.S. conservatives, neoconservatives may be characterized by an aggressive moralist stance on foreign policy, a lesser social conservatism, and a much weaker dedication to a policy of minimal government.
So you ask who should we fear?

Freedom of Speech Cartoons and Insults

There is a lot of brouhaha in the news today about a cartoon that was published in some of the newspapers around Denmark a few months ago. It’s the publication of caricatures of the Muslim prophet Muhammad. This is what the Palestinian and many Islamic people are protesting about lately. This protest is hurting the Danish export business by having a boycott on all Danish products in the Islamic states. The issue was made worse by a basic misunderstanding on the part of the protesters. Arab nations demanded an apology from the Danish government and also asked Copenhagen to punish the authors of the drawings. However, neither act is possible for a western democracy. I’m a true believer in reporting the news as accurately as possible and that should never be censored. But when when your making fun of somebody even in good humor you should back off if your upsetting the people your making fun of. Because now they are being insulted and this is how many fights began. I personally believe that they are over reacting and behaving very immature. However we must be mature about this and more responsible and have a little sensitivity. Insults are not necessary. On the other hand Islam must lighten up a bit. Its just a cartoon. There are far more important issues to focus on. And Denmark should grow up and stop insulting and antagonizing its world neighbors. It dose not accomplish anything.
By the way,I have not seen these cartoons for myself and would surly like to. If you know where I could see them I would be grateful. Please send links or attachments to ronnie@rinkadinkproductions.com

9/11 The Bottom Line

With all the lies that the Bush Administration has given us,We cannot take any thing they say or do at face value. Since this tragedy was used to rally America into a war based on lies and deception we must all ask questions. As good patriots who love our country we must question our leaders when they have consistently failed us in as many ways as Bush and his team of gangsters have.

Big Brother

Know Your Enemy
If you have ever read George Orwell’s 1984, your all ready aware of the Big Brother is watching you concept. George Orwell was pretty accurate considering the time he wrote the story in 1949 the World Wide Web was not in existence yet. But television was new and becoming very popular at the time. Television was the cutting edge of communication technology. Computers and the Internet have not even been thought of yet. Years later the home computer has become the way Big Brother watches us by keeping records of every thing you click on to and all that you send out this is not only stored on your computer but on the many servers you use every day with E-mail accounts and what ever you interact with this only part of the way you are watched .If you have credit cards there is a records of every thing you use it for. When ever you go any ware you will be recorded on the many cameras all around your town such as the Quickie Mart or super market or malls, and now traffic cams are becoming commonly used at many intersections and if you ride on public transportation your picture is taken every few seconds. Dose this make you paranoid? It’s generally not the government who is watching you but marketing gurus working for large corporations such as J.P.Morgan
Seral Drugs, General Motors, American Express, Dupont, A.C.Nielson, Fox Communications Visa, Master Card, the list can go on and on. This is a small part of the real Big Brother
Television still plays a large part of the control imposed on us all. If you ever notice that the network news hardly ever covers the news about the war in Iraq like it’s not very important even though over 1500 of Americas finest young men where sent to slaughter thousands of Iraq citizens are killed in a war for profit wile the news covers Terry Schiavo who got a lot of attention from congress and Mr. Bush acting like he has moral concern for humanity by trying to keep this poor terminally sick woman alive. Why? I don’t know, I say let her go we all must die someday, Mean wile terrorism is growing and spreading like wild fire. The major networks are avoiding the real issues and feeding the public tabloid style news. The average American knows more about sports, TV and movie celebrities than the members of Congress. This is not an accident the Republican Party wants it that way. This is how they can get away with all the bad bills and legislature that gets passed. It’s not just conspiracy theories. Just look around, where have all the hi tech manufacturing gone? What’s happening to welfare program that help the poor and disadvantaged? Thayer passing a bill preventing people from making class action law suits so the large corporations can avoid responsibly when people are injured or killed by defective products. The minimum wage is going to stay the same substandard rate at $5.15 per hour and the breaking of organized labor unions, privatization of public drinking water. Profits are made by corporations from the war in Iraq. When the war is covered by the media they usually make it seem like everything’s going well. While politicians spew their pro-life crap. Television plays a large part in the propaganda, because it is also owned by large corporations and are supported by other corporations or Big Brother. Poverty is growing in an alarming rate with unemployment and under employment. But that’s OK as long as the baseball season starts on time to take Americas mind off these awful things going on. America is being sold off and nobody seem alarmed network news is keeping Americans sedated.
It's Not Hopeless!
There are alterative news sources and I’m not talking about the crazy ultra far left web sites that can find conspiracies in everything but the more established and reliable Internet news sources such as Democracy Now.com, Washington Post.com,
What Really Happened.com, American Progress.com and Bush watch.com.
Democracy Now has streaming video. And a first rate news broadcast. It works on Real Player
I recommend it highly, they are real journalist looking for the truth and are not owned by the corporations.

And I’m Ronnie LoBello

War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent. George Orwell 1984

To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle. George Orwell

Wealth Bondage

Privatizing Social Security

By Ronnie LoBello March 11,2005
Think about it.
Privatizing Social Security
Who would this be good for?
Will it be good for the worker who always worked for a substandard wage all his or her life? Or will it be good for the middle class citizen, who may have a nest egg put aside,
Like a property or stocks?
Or will it be good for the rich. This would be people with an annual income of more than a million dollars per year?
Would you trust a man who has lied to the American people time and time again?
Would you trust someone who has had business ties with the Enron corp.?

Is it a Scientific Phenomena or What?

By Ronnie LoBello
There is a phenomenon that science is over looking. Maybe mathematicians could figure out the formula. Perhaps some one out there can apply for a government grant of hundreds of thousands of dollars to study this. Please let me know if you do.
I'm sure that you have noticed these laws too. I just don't know if they have ever been documented yet they're very similar to Murphy's laws but I don't think there in the exact same category. The first law is. (Law #1) When ever you wait for a bus or train one or two will go in the opposite direction first. Maybe this dosen't happen every time, I'm sure you can get lucky sometimes, but in the most part the rule applies. (Law #2) Here's another one when you break a law, I mean a small one, like improper left turn or something, there is always a cop there to give a ticket but when you need a cop you can never find one. (Law #3) When you are in a hurry or late for an important appointment the elevator slows down or makes a lot more stops than usual. (Law #4) Or when you order some food at a restaurant and are waiting for your food for what seems to be for ever then you light up a cigarette that's when the waitress suddenly brings your order to you. (Law #5) Or how about seeing something laying around for months and when you finally need it now you cant find it anywhere, my keys do that to me all the time. (Law #6) Your waiting for an important phone call and the moment you step out of the room for a moment the phone rings and you miss that call. (Law #7) There are more laws I just can't think of them right now. If you can think of more please post them on the comments bulletin and maybe we can bring this science phenomenon to an explainable textbook conclusion.

Just an observation

Go Ahead, Burn Oil Lots Of It.
by Ronnie Lobello'
Over the years since the seventies after the big oil shortage
Remember the long lines and the sharp rise in prices?
This was the beginning of the search for the fuel-efficient cars.
People were discovering small import cars, such rice burners as Toyota, Datsun, Subaru, and Hondas these cars where suddenly very popular and sent the U.S. Auto makers scrambling for new small car models such as Chevette, Pinto and a few other poorly built cars most of which you hardly see on the streets anymore.
Well as trends go and with the short memory of the average Joe American.
Big gas-guzzlers where back with a vengeance. Four-wheel drive was the ticket pretty soon there where bigger trucks, and cars where becoming trucks.
This is the birth of the SUV. This trend dose not make much sense, with the price of gasoline at almost $3.00 a gallon.
What seems to be fueling this trend? "no pun intended"
One of many reasons is centered around the auto industry. There is a part of the population that can afford it and they want it the auto industry gives incentives, like rebates on trucks and on larger SUV's like Navigator and then they market the heck out of it. Why is this?
Lets look at Washington where G, W.Bush and his oil company family and cronies are working to suppress any attempt to burn less oil. In other words saving fuel is bad for business.
Look at it this way, if you had a business selling something that people needed, and you had no sense of fairness because greed has taken over your mind, you might do anything to prevent a new technology from making your product obsolete. They're brain washing the general public to think automobile. This nothing new its been going on since the 1940s
The oil barrens are running the United States and planet earth into the ground.
In California the Republicans are trying to pass a bill to abolish the sales tax on gasoline but then taxing every one by the miles they drive instead. The reason this is being proposed is because there has been a rise in high mileage cars like hybrids. This has caused a decline in tax revenue that pays for maintains of the highway infrastructure in that state. It seems to me that this would cause a lack of incentive to purchase high mileage cars. Also in California the ford motor company is taking the Ford Think City and Ranger EV out of circulation claiming that they are not safe and now must be recalled.
Now let me ask you. When has Ford ever voluntarily recall cars for being unsafe? Remember the fight they gave when the safety commission declared that the Ford Pinto was unsafe?
BS I say.
This may seem harsh, but I say raise the taxes on the gallon. This would create a need to get even more miles per gallon and put pressure on the manufactures to produce high mileage cars
Eventually we may reach the point of not using any fossil fuels at all. And even slow down the green house affect.
But this would change the balance of powers. "The powers that be" wouldn't want that to happen.
They will lie, cheat and even murder innocent people, to keep their wealth and power. As long as the republican Texas oil gangsters are in the white house conservation doesn't seem to be happening .The other end of the candle is the war in Iraq and the destruction of the environment, such as wild life refuges.
I fear the next four years. We must not sit on our hand lets do some thing like leaving your car at home and ride a bicycle, and/or speaking out like writing to Congress.

Leaving The Crime Scene

By Ronnie LoBello,
I am one of the many Americans who feel we as the United States must pull our troops out of Iraq .
This sounds like an easy thing to do. It's not.
You know the repercussion would be very hard.
Kind of like robbing a bank and then changing your mind in the middle and walking away. It just doesn’t work like that.
The crime has all ready happened. Thousands of Iraq citizens have been killed and millions of people’s lives are in turmoil and chaos and are feeling grief and feeling anger towards Americans ,
President Bush calls it liberation.
So how dose America pull out gracefully?
I don't have an answer for that, and I think about it all the time.
We all have to understand there are great cultural differences in many of the things we do and take for granted, they may seem strange and sometimes immoral to the Iraqi people. Just as some of the Iraqi customs may seem strange and sometimes immoral to many well meaning Bible thumping Americans.
But who are we to judge?
Take a close look at ourselves as a nation,
yes who are we to judge?
The truth is that its not the people to blame we are the victims just as the Iraqi people are even though the war is being fought over there.
We have been lied to. Our good natured well meaning ness has been taken advantage of , We’ve been 'duped, flimflamed, hogwashed, fooled,' and
just plain bull shitted.

Meet the Neocons..........Who's plane was not to remove Sadom Hassan
from power to liberate the people, but rather to take control of all of the wealth of that country. George Bush and his gangster’s have deceived the American people with lies about terrorist ties ,weapons of mass destruction, chemacal warfare the list goes on. They even lie about the election , which is an sacred American heritage but then stepped all over that too. There’s so much lying I cannot cover it in one article .

Ronnie LoBello 2/18/05

I'll be writing more on this later.
