[...] Como informé la pasada semana, alimentar a la fuerza, que implica amarrar a los prisioneros a las sillas con correas utilizando para ello dieciséis correas separadas y metiendo a la fuerza un tubo por la nariz hasta el estómago dos veces al día, es claramente un mundo muy diferente del trato humano exigido por las Convenciones de Ginebra, como también “las sacas forzosas de las celdas” llevándose a los prisioneros para alimentarles por la fuerza.

Since Obama’s earnest drive to convince the nation to weaken its economic strength through redistribution as well as weaken its national defense, has confirmed the very threats to our Republic’s survival that the Constitution was designed to avert, it no longer is sustainable for the United States Supreme Court and Military Joint Chiefs to refrain from exercising WHAT IS THEIR ABSOLUTE CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY TO DEFEND THE NATION FROM UNLAWFUL USURPATION. The questions of Obama’s Kenyan birth and his father’s Kenyan/British citizenship (admitted on his own website) have been conflated by his sustained unwillingnes to supply his long form birth certificate now under seal, and compounded by his internet posting of a discredited “after-the-fact” short form ‘certificate’. In the absence of these issues being acknowledged and addessed, IT IS MANIFEST THAT OBAMA REMAINS INELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT UNDER ARTICLE 2 OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. Being a 14th Amendment “citizen” is not sufficient. A “President” MUST BE an Article 2 “natural born citizen” AS DEFINED BY THE FRAMERS’ INTENT.

I’m hearing you…it’s THAT advanced & horrid a situation…and your passion is admirable…so is your desire to translate it into something like a fast…

Yet only a very few of us are “past all that now” and until we bring them up to snuff, what’s going to change? How dow we bring them anywhere near to the page called reality unless we find some common language?
I’m afraid turning ourselves into candles isn’t going to work. Wearing orange jumps suits and hoods downtown with the Veterans for Peace and Amnesty all across America may not have done much better but it was something…now we need a mass world movement with a slightly new twist…

It’s exactly the same with Israel/Palestine…God forbid it will take more Gazas but still there are plenty of folk who don’t understand what Occupying and being Occupied mean…that’s why something as innocuous as a boycott could help Israelis to do what’s needed.

Yet in this case, we may have a chance to work with certain prisnoners to free a few of them. Maybe their lawyers have some ideas for us?

Connie,
We’re past all that. Those would have been fine strategies at any point along the way up until now. Now, someone has to be the candle. I’m already on fire.
