Weet niet of u ook een raar gevoel krijgt bij de enorme ophef die is ontstaan, nadat Trump een tijdelijke maatregel afkondigde tegen inreizende moslims. Trump begon tot dusver geen illegale oorlog tegen een moslim land, zoals Obama wel heeft gedaan, waarbij deze ook nog eens de grote aanstichter achter de illegale oorlog tegen Syrië was…..*
Ook Libië werd door de VS en een aantal andere EU landen, waaronder Nederland, ‘goed’ de vernieling in geholpen……
Waar was toen de verontwaardiging van al de mensen, die zich nu wel tegen Trump verzetten???
Maar het kan altijd nog gekker mensen: ‘vredesduif’ Obama heeft 3 keer een inreisverbod afgekondigd voor één of meerdere moslimlanden, in 2011, 2015 en zelfs vorig jaar nog. Misschien heb ik het gemist, maar volgens mij heb ik op een enkele mensenrechtenorganisatie na, geen hond gehoord, die zich daar druk om maakte…….. Ach ja, het ging toen natuurlijk ook om ‘onze eigen’ Obama….. Zóóóóón charismatische man en innemende persoonlijkheid….. Gedver!!
Laat men zich in het westen maar eens bezighouden met het tegengaan van illegale oorlogen, de grote producent van terroristen en terrorisme (een illegale oorlog is in feite de ultieme vorm van grootschalige terreur!!!)

Outrage
About Trump Exposes “Librul” Hypocrisy
By
Moon Of Alabama
January
30, 2017 “Information
Clearing House”
– “Moon
Of Alabama” – The
current “librul” (liberale, AP) outrage about Trump’s announced policies
is somewhat amusing. Yes, these policies are bad, very bad. Trump is
bad. But so was Obama and so is Clinton. Protesting the policies of
one while not protesting when the other implemented the same policies
is insincere grandstanding.
Wherever
you look, those Trump policies are building directly on, or simply
repeat Obama policies. The now theatrically outraged people swallowed
those without a word of protest.
A
Trump order yesterday introduced a temporary ban on visa holders and
visa issuing to citizens of seven Middle East countries. These
countries are: Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.
Those countries have one thing in
common. No terrorist who killed on U.S. soil originated from
them. The (few) terrorists who attacked within the U.S. came from the
Middle Eastern countries not on the list. Following Trump’s order,
outcries on social media and in various papers ensued. People went to
airports to protest. TV was there to spread the news.
But
it is nothing new that the citizens of those countries are targeted
with U.S. visa restrictions. It was Obama who introduced such
in 2015 and 2016. The Trump order links directly to them. It does not
name any country but refers to them as “countries
designated in Division O, Title II, Section 203 of the 2016
consolidated appropriations act.”
U.S
animosities against these countries is even older. According
to the former general Clark, plans were made to wage war
against six of the now named seven countries back in 2001. Yemen was
later added while Lebanon was (temporarily?) taken off the list. The
administrations change, the selected “enemies” stay the
same.
In
2011 Obama stopped processing Iraqi visa requests for
six month. That move was quite similar to Trump’s current one.
Where was the outcry in 2001? In 2011, 2015 and 2016? Is it only bad
when Trump restricts visits for certain people from certain
countries?
Sure,
Trump introduces his “outrageous” measures loud and
abruptly where Obama sneaked them in. But that is just different
marketing, not a different product.
This
morning CNN headlines: White
House discussing asking foreign visitors for social media info and
cell phone contacts. HOW OUTRAGEOUS! How can Trump even think of
such an invasion of privacy! Fake outrage – Obama had already signed
off on this. The plans to collect social media accounts of traveling
visitors and citizens were officially introduced in October
2016 and the implementation startedin
December 2016. The Trump White House is late in discussing the
issue.
Yesterday
Trump also issued a
memorandum to structure his National Security Council. It
says that the Director of National Intelligence and the chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Staff
“shall attend” when it is pertinent to the issue in
question. “Librul” outrage ensues. Trump excludes the
DNI and CJCOS from the NSC! Obama’s first Defense Secretary calls it
a “huge mistake”! But a
comparison of the text Trump issued with the text Obama
issued when he came into office shows them to be mostly similar.
Nothing really relevant has changed. The “shall attend”
clause is exactly the
same.
Yesterday
people were protesting at airports against Trump’s temporary
immigration restrictions. Lots of outrage against Trump ensued on
social media over this and the other issues. The hypocrisy here
stinks to high heaven. Where were the protest when Obama did similar?
Where
are the protests demanding the repeal of the Patriot Act? Where are
the anti-war protests? These died as soon as Obama came into office.
They never came back even as Obama pursued polices that were, at
best, Republican light and far from any progressive ideal. Only fake
liberals, aka “libruls”, could agree with these. When Dick
Cheney is your
witness against Trump you have lost the plot.
Many
of the people coming out now against Trump would likely have
jubilated had Hilliary Clinton won the election and introduced the
exactly same policies. Protest against the system that is
incorporated in Trump, just as it is incorporated in Clinton, does
not come to their mind. Do they expect to be taken serious?
There
was no outrage today from any of the U.S. “libruls” and
their media outlets about last nights failedU.S.
military raid in Yemen. The rural home of a tribal leader’s
family, friendly with some Yemeni al-Qaeda members, was raided by a
special operations commando. A U.S. tiltrotor military aircraft was
shot down during the raid. One soldier was killed and several were
wounded. The U.S. commandos responded with their usual panic. They
killed anyone in sight and bombed the shit out of any nearby
structure.According
to Yemeni sources between 30 and 57 Yemenis were killed
including eight women and eight
children (graphic pics). The U.S. military claimed, as it
always does, that no civilians were hurt in the raid.
One
of the killed kids was the 8 year old daughter of al-Qaeda
propagandist Anwar al-Awlaki. (The targeted family is related to
al-Awlaki’s wife.) The girl was a
U.S. citizen. Under Obama the CIA had already assassinated her
father and her 16 year old brother. With Obama’s active help the Gulf
countries have been bombing and destroying Ýemen for nearly two
years. No U.S. demonstrations were held against this war.
Yemeni
sources say that at least two men were abducted by the U.S. military.
The Central Command press release only said that the raid had helped
to acquire “intelligence” about possible future terror
acts. That probably means that the prisoners will be tortured to
unveil such “intelligence” even as they may not have any.
The Obama administration had introduced new rules for the military on
how to handle detainees. The UN judged that the
application of some of these rules is torture. The “libruls”
will of course be outraged should any of those rules, which Obama
introduced, be used under a Trump administration.
The
hypocritical outrage against Trump for things Obama already did is
exactly what Trump wants
and needs. He keeps chasing the media and the Clintonistas around
the block. The impression he leaves, not only with his followers, is
that of a man who works a lot. 25 outrages out of 25 headlines in
just one week? “Impressive! That is way more than Obama
achieved!”
Trump
already filed for reelection. Who really wants to beat him will have
to attack him on fundamental issues. That is a problem for the
“libruls”. Obama and Clinton stand for the same terrible
policies Trump is pushing for. They are not as loud as Trump and
paint their aims in softer colors. But the difference is only one of
degree.
The
U.S., like many other “western” countries, needs
fundamentally different policies and politicians to become a more
just and social society. The current “librul” outcries take
energy away from achieving such.
“Muslim
ban” hypocrisy: Left quiet when Obama also halted visas: Why
was the Left silent when the Obama administration refused to issue
visas to Iraqis for six months?
Six
other times the US has banned immigrants;
Donald Trump’s ‘Muslim ban’ is not the first time specific groups or
nationalities have been blocked from the US.

Mensen, uiteraard moeten we ons wel verzetten, tegen de fascistische maatregelen die Trump en anderen nemen, lees en teken daarom de petitie van Avaaz tegen Trump en geeft het door:
* Al in 2006, onder G.W. Bush werden de fundamenten voor de oorlog tegen Assad gelegd, Assad moest weg (o.a. daar hij tegen pijpleidingen door zijn land richting EU was en is), zelfs als dat oorlog betekende…… Daarbij heeft de VS met een aantal andere landen, waaronder Saoedi-Arabië en Egypte moslim terroristen vervoert richting Syrië, de VS m.n. uit Libië en Tunesië, waarna tevens bewapening en training plaatsvonden….
