MURDER, LIES AND BARACK OBAMA
HOW OBAMA'S DELIBERATE MASS MURDER OF CIVILIANS IN PAKISTAN
HAS FUELED TERRORISM AND ANTAGONIZED
A STATE WITH THE FASTEST GROWING
NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAM IN THE WORLD
Does the President of the United States have the authority to kill anyone on the planet without trial?
President Obama said he does. He has placed himself at the
helm of a top secret nominations process in which he designates targets
for kill or for capture. This is part of a grim "terror Tuesdays" at
the White House where the president and his team discuss who to put on
the Kill List.
"Mr Obama is the liberal law professor who campaigned against
the Iraq war and torture, and then insisted on approving every new name
on an expanding 'kill list,' poring over terrorist suspects'
biographies on what one official calls the macabre "baseball cards" of
an unconventional war (New York Times, 5-29-12)."
Would America tolerate a foreign power bombing our cities? The
answer should be obvious. Under Barack Obama American attacks on
civilians in Pakistan have soared. The result is a rising level
of hatred towards America among all levels of Pakistani society. 75% of Pakistanis consider the U.S. an enemy.
The drone strikes are not making the American people safer.
David Kilcullen, the Former Senior Advisor to General David Petraeus
says the following about the Drone War: "I was a military guy for 25
years. I've done seven wars. I'm not about being nice to the enemy. But
the blow-back and the aspect of political destabilization. Those things
ultimately do make us less safe (Signature Strike Investigation Video)."
In the rally shown below 100,000 Pakistanis
vent their fury against Obama's war crimes as Imran Khan speaks.
Part of the idiocy in America's dealings with Pakistan is that
we are enraging are a heavily armed nuclear power. There is much political debate about the
possibility of nukes in Iran. Yet many Americans do not realize that Pakistan has between 90-110 nukes (Arms Control Association).
According to a New York Times article (01/31/2011) Pakistan's
nuclear arsenal is growing so fast that it may soon become the world's
fourth nuclear power, behind only Russia, America and China.

EXAMINING OBAMA'S LIES ABOUT KILLING CIVILIANS IN
PAKISTAN
Obama states:
"Before any strike is taken, there must be near
certainty that no civilians will be killed or injured. The highest
standard we can set."

Obama's lies about his mass murder of children and other
civilians are compounded by a campaign of lies by other top Obama
administration officials and key Democrats in Congress such as Dianne
Feinstein.
CIA Director John Brennan's Lies About Drones:
In 2011, After much urging from the ACLU to reveal public information
on the clandestine Drones Program, the White House's top
counter-terrorism advisor John Brennan broke the silence by telling
reporters the following: "in the last year 'there hasn't been a single
collateral death because of the exceptional proficiency, precision of
the capabilities that we've been able to develop (ACLU).'"
Obama then nominated him to head the CIA.
Senator Feinstein is the Chair of the Senate
Intelligence Committee who claims that fewer than 10 civilians per year
are typically killed by America's targeted killing program, despite
evidence to the contrary. In this role, Feinstein has a responsibility
to ensure that
Congress provides proper oversight of Obama's targeted killing program.
Yet during John Brennan's confirmation hearing, she made the following
remarks about drone fatalities:
"But for the past several years, this committee has done
significant oversight of the government's conduct of targeted strikes,
and the figures we have obtained from the executive branch, which we
have done our utmost to verify, confirm that the number of
civilian casualties that have resulted from such strikes each year has
typically been in the single digits (The Atlantic, 2-11-13)."
President Barack Obama claims that his Drones War is a highly
precise tool for taking out terrorist threats, and that hardly any
civilians are targeted. Many Americans also believe that this process
is highly precise and safe.
However, independent estimates place the number of non-combatant deaths at 3,000 (New America Foundation).
More often than not, the targets are located by a drone that is
30,000 feet in the air. It is not even required for the Defense
Department to know the names of the people being targeted. "Today, the Defense Department can attack suspects in Yemen whose names they don't know (New York Times)."
Which raises the question; How accurate can these strikes really be?
While the Obama administration has been highly secretive about these
surgical drone strikes, the people actually living under the daily
threat of drones have their own story to tell.
These drone strikes are destabilizing the regions they target and creating more hostility instead of peace.
They may end up creating a nuclear nightmare for the entire world. Check out the first hand accounts below:
