Iranian Election Protests



The news media is giving quite a bit of favorable coverage to the Iranian election protests. As usual, the United States government has no problems meddling in the affairs of other countries. But what is especially amusing is how the US government is SHOCKED that that Iranian government is attempting to crack down on protests.

This is amusing because the US government considers peaceful protests in the US to be considered a form of “low level terrorist activity.”

Below is a link of a memo that the ACLU set to the Department of Defense. It seems the Department of Defense is teaching its employees that any form of protest against the government is terrorism.

Instead of bitching about Iran, we should clean our own house first.

Violence In Chicago

President Obama was disappointed that the Olympic Committee decided not to choose Chicago as the venue for the 2016 Olympics. As President Obama was formerly a successful “community organizer” in Chicago, this defeat must have been especially disappointing. Part of the reason that Chicago may not have been selected is due to how Violence has stricken much of the city. Just a couple of days ago a Chicago student videotaped a murder of an honor student. http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0929/p02s01-usgn.html (As a side note, it seems to be especially dangers to be a Black honor student. In the stories linked below, all the victims happened to be honor students.) http://www.smmirror.com/volume3/issue23/samohi_honor_student.asp http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article/article?f=/c/a/2005/09/27/BAG4OEUD661.DTL http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-79459073.html http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2009/01/26/2009-01-26_progun_senatordesignate_gillibrand_shoul.html Link to raw video: http://www.myfox
