Obama's Reaction Differs from JFK's Stance on 'Freedom of Worship'

-Posted by D. Worth (US) | for- M. Barbay (France)
The ugliest parts of a human society is given rise in the current lengthy Democrat campaign... They drag-on selection of a candidate, by emulating similarities and speech excerpts from the Leaders of America (of long ago.)
Then (by agreement) they resign from our healed story of tolerance & unity.

In the 1960's Video (below) JFK is faced with mounting pressure over his Religious preference. He basically responds by telling America that it is...
"NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS."
Obama Throws the Church out, instead of individual people. Story.


Truth is, JFK held strong, with unwavering conviction... Stood up to the principals over politics, and stood for a strong American defense...

John Kennedy asked what YOU can do for your country...
Obama's slogans ask what the "Government can do for you."

You can't have it both ways... Either you agree that the principals of JFK or MLK Leaders have achieved significant healing for America's broken societies of the 60's... Or you empower "unhealings" as a "Party of Division" without invalidating their efforts...

I loose patience with this sort of "mind-twist" whine...
Nobody is going to respect a Leader who "cowers" while failing to make specific demands from the people...

Powerful Radio Pulses Emanate from Galactic Center (Puzzling Scientists)

Journal reference: Nature (vol 434, p 50)

Here we report a transient radio source, GCRT J1745–3009, which was detected during a moderately wide-field monitoring programme of the Galactic Centre region4, 5 at 0.33 GHz. The characteristics of its bursts are unlike those known for any other class of radio transient.

If located in or near the Galactic Centre, its brightness temperature (1016 K) and the implied energy density within GCRT J1745–3009 vastly exceed those observed in most other classes of radio astronomical sources6, and are consistent with coherent emission processes7 that are rarely observed.

We conclude that it represents a hitherto unknown class of transient radio sources, the first of possibly many new classes that may be discovered by emerging wide-field radio telescopes8.

ROME (Reuters) -Vatican sources said earlier this week that it was not yet clear if the pope would meet individual heads of state attending U.N. event or hold collective.. more.

From Catholic World News: Story
"Ahmadinejad will be in Italy during the first week in June for a meeting of UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), which is headquartered in Rome. The Iranian embassy has disclosed that the Islamic leader has asked "repeatedly" for an opportunity to speak with the Pontiff. Iran has made a concerted effort to enlist the help of the Holy See in its efforts to ward off diplomatic pressure from the US and the UN.

And they say:

"The daily La Repubblica now reports that the Pope will hold an unofficial meeting with Ahmadinejad-- a private talk without the usual trappings of honor guard, anthems, and official addresses. On the other hand Corriere della Sera predicts that the Pope will meet with Ahmadinejad in a group, along with other government leaders who are attending the FAO conference." Read Story.

Iran: Ten Christian converts arrested News.
Tehran, 28 May (AKI)
Ten Iranians who converted from Islam to Christianity in recent months have been arrested in the southern city of Shiraz.

According to Goodarz, a spokesperson for the Iranian converts, more than 35 of them have been arrested since the beginning of the year. Goodarz himself has taken refuge in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.

The new Majlis or Iranian parliament which met for the first time on Tuesday will be discussing in the coming weeks proposed laws presented by the government to reform the penal code.

Under the new law, anyone born to a Muslim father who decides to renounce Islam and convert to another faith, faces the death penalty.

The punishment is currently absent from the Iranian penal code even though in the past, dozens of Christian converts and followers of the Bahai faith have been hanged.more

Political Balance and Future of Iraq (etc)

-Posted by D. Worth (US) | for- M. Barbay (France)
"Any lasting solution to this endemic problem of state weakness in Iraq would require full, not just symbolic, Sunni political participation in the government." So says Armed Conflicts and Conflict Management Program at Stockholm International Peace Research. sipri.org

Maliki government has committed to economic and political reforms under the International Compact with Iraq process (as only the Iraqis can correct.) The video below (experienced war Veteran) examines 'cause & effect' of an imbalanced Iraqi Gov; during a rushed Democrat withdrawal...
But I have faith in EQUAL political (Arab) balance, for Iraq's Gov.

FACT: We made mistakes, but we are not at a pre-war decision...
Unless the Iraq Government integrates equal amount of Tribal seats in their political process, to strengthen Int'l Unity... The neighborhood will carve the boundaries deeper into Iraq after a quick "U.S. Democrat withdraw."
Radicalized elements will likely use weaponry in the region near Palestine, drawing US into a larger war... Havoc would spread in mass proportions.

It's not too late for a fair political reform...

Armed Conflicts and Conflict Management Program at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute said it would take a more representative Iraqi government; for Arab neighbors to strengthen ties with the country.

"Unless the political transformation of violent Islamist movements in specific national contexts is encouraged and the transnational ideology of violent Islamism is ‘nationalized’, it is unlikely to be amenable to external influence or to be destroyed by repression." sipri.org

3 000-year-old remains of the largest ancient Egyptian fortified city while exploring an old military road in Sinai that once connected Egypt to Palestine. Story

Zahi Hawass: (image former project) Chief of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, said on Wednesday that archaeologists unearthed relief of King Thutmose II (1516-1504 BC), thought to be the first such royal monument found in Sinai. It indicates that Thutmose II may have built a fort in the area. more.

NOTE: A 500-by-250 meter mud brick fort with several 4m high towers dating to King Ramses II (1304-1237 BC) were unearthed in the same area, he said. The ancient military road known as "Way of Horus" is close to present-day Rafah which borders the Gaza Strip. Source

Illusion of 'end' creates so much fear that the present becomes unlivable.

To think that many waited decades (in the worse possible thought) for this moment, now past...When truth reveals that it is 'the consciousness of man' which creates abundance or sorrow, jubilation or strife...
As every day begins anew.
To pull our spirits together, is to think good thoughts upon our grid.

It says: Nibiru,the Planet of the Crossing was foretold by the ancient Sumerian civilization (Babylonia) as passing through our solar system every 3600 years. During its passage it would come close enough to our Earth to create cataclysmic events in the way of climate and earth changes, climaxing with a major pole shift.

Festival de Cannes 08- A Quick Note

I thought I would at least mention Cannes; as I paint here in Moujan...

Last year was a magnetic time for Sarkozy, which actually over-shadowed many films. Not 08!
This year, Times reports:
Clint & Angelina Bring a Changeling
Child to Cannes

Synopsis for "Changeling" by imbd:

"Clint Eastwood directs Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich in a provocative thriller based on actual events:
Los Angeles, 1928: On a Saturday morning in a working-class suburb, Christine said goodbye to her son, Walter, and left for work. When she came home, she discovered he had vanished. A fruitless search ensues, and months later, a boy claiming to be the nine-year-old is returned. Dazed by the swirl of cops, reporters and her conflicted emotions, Christine allows him to stay overnight. But in her heart, she knows he is not Walter...

Facing corrupt police and a skeptical public, she desperately hunts for answers, only to be confronted by a truth that will change her forever." (Image Jolie: Universal/Everett)

-Posted by D. Worth (US) | for- M. Barbay (France)
I am shocked by the extreme level of hate within these groups, They -do not- represent the community's efforts toward Lebanon peace..
Memri blog has the Story and VIDEO (Loud)


They claim to represent Muslim values, but WE have Muslim immigrants in America and Paris, who hold more values in (1) prayer, than these groups will achieve in a life-time!

I will be posting the REAL TRUTH about these organizations, from a Palestinian friend... Meanwhile, they should re-evaluate why they pray...

ps: I really worry about Dr. "H" and friends, in Egypt...Story.

Reuters: Dem Presidential Campaign Leads U.N. to Investigate Racism in U.S. Story
Well, the U.N. announced on Friday that it is sending its "Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance" to visit our country from May 19 until June 6.

Although Reuters reported this at 2:48 PM EDT Friday, and strongly suggested the investigation is due to racism in the Democrat presidential campaign, LexisNexis and Google searches identified no other American news outlet covering this story. Not one! -Newsbusters

Why isn't the UN continuing the pursuit of Kenyans' safety??
VIDEO: Kenyan Victims: Educated Kenyans with degrees from US!
And NOT a single UN Special Rapporteur in sight!

The Democrat Media avoids publicity during the elections! And the UN fails to address actual atrocities against the Kenyan populations; instead opts for a Sovereign Nation that has a constitution to protect Judicial Process...
UN also wants to reverse the US Death Pentalty... Go figure.
