UN

This is why we can't dismiss people like Polly Higgins the Barrister by simply calling her "nutty as a fruitcake." 

It turns out, our Polly, champion of the Treehuggers who believe trees have Rights, is deep into a Solar Panel the Sahara scam (dubbed "Saviour of the World") that would provide solar-manna from the sky, "sufficient to cover all needs of the earth."  

Wow. The progressives don't even care to connect the "myth" of God to a person anymore. Now that climate change is religious dogma, we've just been supplied with a God-Company Incarnate,  with the UN about to turn Enforcer to prosecute Climate Deniers -- although they have yet to lift a finger against Holocaust deniers like Ahmadinejad.  

If the progressives have their way, the 10 Commandments will be soon be replaced by the "5 Crimes of Peace." 

Polly Higgins is co-founderof Desertec, a Munich-based company that has dreams of placing a 6,500 square mile concentrated solar power (CSP) hub in the middle of the Saraha to supply electricity to all of Europe (sans Africa itself). They are relying on a $555 billion infusion of cash, a consortium of high-profile dupesinvestors like Siemens and Deutsche Bank, and the development of policy "initiatives" from suckers Leaders in countries like the United States. In return, we are promised, "[i]n cooperation with universities, scientific institutes and other partners, the DESERTEC Foundation works on studies to evaluate the realization of the DESERTEC Concept " scam.     

That's right. Desertec has yet to develop "complete technoloogy." That doesn't stop hyped investors from saying "It is about the creation of an industry initiative to promote the theme of 'desert stream for Europe' on."  

American Translation: while we're waiting on Obama and his foreign policy machine to get the ball rolling on Global Green and force the  indentured servitude of his servants citizens, just as the American taxpayer will soon be backing Global Health, we can expect some greenbacks coming our way, the value of which depends on their economy, their debt and the value of their credit. It hasn't been stellar lately, but we're optimistic. We'll still get that taxpayer cash, even if it destroys their country. Meanwhile, Polly'll work the UN angle.  

Polly and her crew want to superfluously create world-wide demand for solar power by creating Planetary Rights and defining and outlawing "harms" on an international scale, to be implemented at the national level. 

That means you and I getting permits from our local municipalities to dig holes in our yard and killing a bacteria-based infection by receiving a shot from your new, personal state employee, your doctor. 

Next up: UN Ecocide Peacekeepers, courtesy of the American taxpayer. Throw that in with the monumental bill America already pays toward the DPKO budget. (Not even the UN wants to control their spending, but like every statist institution, they're hiring). 

Polly Higgins wants to take clueless people like this (see vid at link).

..marry what's left of their dignity to Planetary Rights, call the creation "Indigenous (Earth) People" with no voice, and speak for them at high-flyin', limo-drivin', UN-sponsored progressive-elite get togethers like this (see vid).

..and make plenty of this:

Though Polly and her Eco-Company have yet to "prove that electricity in this way also can be produced economically," they expect to turn a profit in about 10 to 15 years. By that time, a fresh crop of 1st-year progressive law students should be federal prosecutors, well-versed in making the "Hitler's Pesticide" charge stick to any gardener who doesn't abide by the Organic Gardening Law, or whatever other laws the federal government will manufacture via UN international law to curtail our freedoms.

Desertec has high expectations of our President Obama:

 We expect that the new U.S. Administration will strongly prioritize the use of solar thermal energy as a solution to the climate and energy crisis. This should create incentives.. 

This is about pillowing the new, taxpayer-backed, Green Industry, Obama's pet project, and Obama, once again, showing world his duty as a global citizen, while he energizes the world's economy and let's our sink.

Now, when America utilizes the resources of other countries, they call it Imperialism.

What do you call greedy greenies like Higgin's group who suck in upwards of half a trillion without even a proof of concept, without a return to the very country and African communities they plan on exploiting, and only reference "the 240,000 new green jobs it will create in Germany alone, the $2 trillion in profits investors hope to make over the next few decades, and the part about meeting 15% of Europe’s energy needs"?

Even in the face of just trying to venture into entrepreneurism like the rest of us, we can't dismiss crackpots like Polly Higgins and her friends.

When the UN Secretary-General Ban ki-Moon says we need the "full political engagement" to address the  "murder of seas," it won't be long before Obama, with another notable Administration official  who has espoused the evils of Ecocide since the 70s, begins to strategize and implement.

Yes, that Holdren. The same Holdren who's  Ice Age" scienceis sensibly debunked by Desertec's very selling of their Saved-by-Sun-Saviour, Solar Panel the Sahara scheme.

The only freezing we need to see is the freezing of American initiatives and taxpayer money to fund foreign ventures and the freezing of the idea of Ecocide as a 5th Crime against Peace. Let's throw in a cold shoulder to Higgins and the UN while we're at it.

There should only exist the 4 Crimes Against Humanity that should only be enforced by singularly by every sovereign nation, and Obama's obligation should be to serve the country he represents, funneling every spare dime back into American ingenuity and innovation. Especially in this economy.

Eco-blackmail shouldn't be a way to finance a company. If Higgins and her cohorts succeed in persuading the UN to add Ecocide as a 5th crime, I'll be the first to call her an Econo-Terrorist: guilty of Econo-cide and of depriving the American citizen of the right to their pursuit of financial independence and other freedoms guaranteed to us by the Constitution.

In this segment of  his 4/13 show, Mark finally calls Obama a Global Citizen. Although this term can take on a multitude of meanings.  he uses it to emphasize how Obama implements policies that destroy American values and culture, American prosperity, and are clearly not American-delineated, especially in retrospect of what has transpired since his election into office. We can begin to see how Obama is more interested in serving the interests of the world than he is in serving the citizens of his own nation. For background, the following are excerpts from articles Mark mentions in this clip. Skip ahead to the trascript of this important segment, or right click and download and begin listening at 30:13 for maximum impact. Again, this is from yesterday's Monday, 4/12/10 show. ** From the Millions of unemployed may never recover, the Seattle Times: 

Despite recent job gains, one grim statistic casts a long shadow over the recovering economy and the futures of more than 6 million workers: Fully 44 percent of the nation's 15 million unemployed have been out of work for more than six months.And evidence suggests many of them may never rebuild their working lives completely. Never since the Great Depression has the U.S. labor market seen anything like it. The previous high in long-term unemployment was 26 percent in June 1983, just after the deep downturn of the early '80s. The 44 percent rate this year translates into more than 6.5 million people. In fact, nearly two-thirds of these workers actually have been jobless for a year or longer, new Labor Department reports show.

From The Detroit News' AP survey: Recovery to remain sluggish into 2011:

The pillars of Americans' financial security - jobs and home values - will stay shaky well into 2011, according to an Associated Press survey of leading economists. The findings of the new AP Economy Survey, released Monday, point to an economic recovery that will move slowly and fitfully this year and next. As a result, the Federal Reserve will be forced to keep interest rates near zero until at least the final quarter of this year, three-fourths of the economists said. ..

By keeping interest rates at record lows, the Fed intends to encourage people and companies to spend more and invigorate the recovery. But anxiety over unemployment, and a reluctance or inability to borrow, will also restrain consumer spending, economists say. 

"We're not going to see any irrational exuberance from consumers [what an idiot - my edit] this year," says Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors, another survey participant. ..

The recession wiped out 8.2 million jobs. Zandi and other economists had previously forecast that unemployment, which reached 10.1 percent in October, would peak at 11 percent this year. Zandi now expects joblessness to climb again from the current 9.7 percent and reach 10.2 percent by December. That's because many people who have quit looking for work and aren't counted as unemployed will start looking again and because job creation will remain weak. 

Employers have begun to add jobs recently, including 162,000 in March. Economists surveyed foresee additional job creation over the next three months, but not enough to reduce the unemployment rate significantly. They predict job gains of roughly 200,000 in April, 250,000 in May and 125,000 in June. 

About 125,000 new jobs are needed each month just to keep up with population growth and prevent the unemployment rate from rising. To reduce the jobless rate significantly, employers would need to consistently add 200,000 to 300,000 a month. 

"The labor market is the scar left over from the economic trauma that we've been through," says Sean Snaith, economics professor at the University of Central Florida, who took part in the survey. "It will be slow to fade." 

 ** From the Begining of Hour 2 of the Mark Levin Show, Monday, 4/12/10  He's here, now broadcasting from the underground command post, deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker, somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-descript building, we once again make contact with our leader, Mark Levin:  Listen, when will this notion that the left stands for the little guy, that the left is more compassionate than the rest of us, when will this notion be finally rejected?  We're going through another period of failed leftwing experiementation which strangles the life out of this vibrant society where these materminds claim to have the capacity to create jobs when what they do is destroy them, and when they turn one citizen against another in order to accomplish their goals.  You see, these people want to stand on top of an ever-growing empire.  They're imperialists in many ways. What fun is it to be President of the United States if you can't push people around, if you can't tell them what to eat, what to drive, what kind of appliances to have in their home, if you can't tell electric utility companies or oil companies or automobile manufacturers how to design their products, how to deliver them, how much to deliver.  What fun is it to be President of a nation where individuals are self-sufficient and independent and largely left alone?   And, the lib media only approves of you if you continue to become more andmore authoritarian. You're considered a historic figure, first of a kind. You're considered really special, not if you leave people alone, but if you push them around.  Now Obama says of his healthcare plan, the sky hasn't fallen, the birds are still chirping: on the Drudge reprt, a link .. it says 60 hospitals cancel due to new health law.  60 hopsitals.  And there's going to be many, many more. When you have private capital raised by doctors to build hospitals, to expand hospitals, if they are, in essense, obstructed from doing so, you're going to have less hopsital beds.  More and more reliance on government and non-profits.  They don't have enough. They can't do enough, even if there weren't a single new patient, and now we're told there's going to be 32 milionm new patients, or potential patients.  When you have a healhcare bill that creates 16,500 IRS agents and auditors and doesn't train a single doctor or nurse, what are you going to have?  Harrassment, not medical care.  What they've done is they've put the stamp "healthcare" on a bill that is a grabbag of all kinds of powers and authorities that are not granted to them under the Constitution.  Now, I belive it was 2 or 3 months ago when Barack Obama said, "We're gonna put healthcare aside and focus on jobs."  He lied.  It was a headfake.  He figures if they keep extending unemployment benefits, if they keep putting billions and billions of dollars from the federal government into the state bankrupt systems, if they keep throwing a few crumbs at the unemployed over time, the they've address the unemployment issue.  As long as the public sector's growing, as long as it's fat and happy, as long as they have massive benefits and salaries that are far, far better than in the private sector, as long as he takes care of his  constituent groups , like the slip-and-fall lawyers and the SEIU and the left-wing comm actdivits, as long as that's all done, as long as the illegals aliens are on a path to amnesty..  Screw you!  Now, this is a --very--serious--problem--, unemployment in this country.  And we know how to address it in an effective way, we know how to do it, it's been done before and it's been done by democrats and republicans.  But not by this President.  D'you want to know why?  'Cause he's a global citizen.  He's an ideologue, just like Marx was a global citizen and an ideologue.  Mark, what do you mean?  Exactly what I said, that's what I mean.  ... ...I could have sworn Obama said -- and said more than once -- that he saved us from the Second Great Depression.  This is the abuse of language.  He's a propagandist, first and foremost.  He didn't save us from the 2nd Great Deression.  Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready?  This is the Second Great Despression, and he's created it.  Let me repeat it.  This IS the Second Great Depression and he created it.  All these records of foreclosures, records of commerical leases that are, millions and milllions of square feet that are empty.  Record after one record, after onother record, this isn't a recession.  What the hell is it? What is it?  And it goes on and on and on and on, with little help in sight...  ...  He is institutionalizing pvoerty.  He is institutionalizing desisitution.  He is spreading not welath, he is spreading misery.  He is destroying wealth, he is destroying wealth of those hwo have it and he's destroying the potential for getting it, not just for this generation, but future generations.   The only institutions that are getting rich are the institutions of  government and the bureautcrats who work for them.  They live in a completely different world, they are in their own bubble, while the rest of us struggle for what we can have and what we can keep.  Many, may people are just holding on, trying to keep their properties, their house, they're worried about their kids and their future and their education.  And Washington doesn't even sense it yet, the bureaucrats don't care, the politicans are rubbing our noses it in and the media, the Sunday shows, they act like, like this is still inside baseball, they are so disconnected from what's going out here in society...

The Activists' War on Private Property, Industrialization and the Free Market

As the self-proclaimed Superguardian of human rights, the UN defines the following 4 crimes  as "crimes against humanity," prosecutable under the jurisdiction of the ICC (International Criminal Court):

• genocide
• war crimes
• ethnic cleansing
• crimes against humanity

The UN works incredibly hard to be the final authority by citing these and other "international laws" to member states -- including the United States. 

Despite the fact that we remain the model for democracy throughout the world, the UN threatens to usurp the Constitution and the sovereignty of America by invoking the supremacy of international law. These attempts remains hidden from public discourse. If all the UN intends to accomplish were made  common knowledge, we'd have louder debates and realize that the problems of socialized healthcare is just the beginning.  

Realize that the UN doesn't have anymore muscle power than they did a decade or 25 years ago to address these crimes against humanity as they occur, but they have found another way to try to address these crimes-- and that is by aligning prevention through the utilization of resources of its member states, by its member states,  for its member states.    

In other words, member states have been compelled to adopt laws that would prevent these crimes against humanity from occurring. Laws against hate crimes are examples we can readily understand. But even though we create the laws and enforce them, the UN and international laws take precedence over member states' sovereignty. 

On the horizon is a 5th prosecutable crime, but it's not a crime against humanity. Including this crime would frame the new 5-crime set "Crimes Against Peace."  

This 5th crime against peace would be the crime against nature, called "Ecocide." 

Wesley Smith posts details from the UK article via First Things about the British radical who is campaigning the UN "to accept 'ecocide' as [an] international crime":

A campaign to declare the mass destruction of ecosystems an international crime against peace - alongside genocide and crimes against humanity - is being launched in the UK. 

The proposal for the United Nations to accept "ecocide" as a fifth "crime against peace", which could be tried at the International Criminal Court (ICC), is the brainchild of British lawyer-turned-campaigner Polly Higgins. 

The radical idea would have a profound effect on industries blamed for widespread damage to the environment like fossil fuels, mining, agriculture, chemicals and forestry. 

Supporters of a new ecocide law also believe it could be used to prosecute "climate deniers" who distort science and facts to discourage voters and politicians from taking action to tackle global warming and climate change. 

"Ecocide is in essence the very antithesis of life," says Higgins. "It leads to resource depletion, and where there is escalation of resource depletion, war comes chasing behind. Where such destruction arises out of the actions of mankind, ecocide can be regarded as a crime against peace." 

Higgins, formerly a barrister in London specialising in employment, has already had success at the UN with a Universal Declaration for Planetary Rights, modelled on the human rights declaration. "My starting point was 'how do we create a duty of care to the planet, a pre-emptive obligation to not harm the planet?'"

A Universal Declaration for Planetary Rights. 

Socialist Bolivia is among the first to work on an adoption of the idea of "ecocide." Bolivia was also one of the anti-accord noisemakers at Copenhagen. So was Ecuador, which has given "Nature"  Constitutional rights that read:

Persons and people have the fundamental rights guaranteed in this Constitution and in the international human rights instruments. Nature is subject to those rights given by this Constitution and Law.

Some may attempt to dismiss this as infighting over environmentalism, gone awry. This has nothing to do with climate concerns and everything to do with further weakening our nation. 

What it is, is exploitation of a radical idea to make all nations operate at the lowest common denominator. These radicals would curtail our ownership of private property, outlawing production and consumption, making the United States a 3rd world country, if this isn’t happening already. 

If the UN were to adopt a proposed 5th "crime against peace" -- the Crime Against Nature --  harnessing and utilizing energy in ways we see fit to benefit our nation would be impaired, and our nation's production and consumption would be subject to international regulations and restrictions. 

If this "crime" becomes international law and is enforced in our country, we can expect a restriction on our rights to personal wealth. In the same sense that cap and trade regulates, the amount of personal possessions -- and the industry involved in their production, consumption and disposal -- would be regulated.   

Again, the UN doesn't have the muscle power to enforce, so the United States would adopt regulations -- not necessarily laws -- to prevent over-production and over-consumption. 

This would be the end of industrialization, the end of America as we know it. 

President Obama has already stripped our national defense of the title of military superpower. Next will come the UN's blow to our nation's ability to rebuild itself as an economic superpower. 

This is akin to 9/11, where our military (pentagon) and the institutions of our industry and trade (WTC) were targeted and attacked, bringing our country to its knees. 

If this 5th Crime Against Peace were to become a recognized protection under international law, this would give the UN power to affect our legislation in the halls of Congress. It would be up to us, the people, to gain control, halt, and redirect those efforts.

Coming down the pipe in Texas's capitol city of Austin is an effort by the City's Human Rights Commission to establish a Teen Court:  

The court system for youth in Travis County may not be operating in the best interest of those who find themselves caught up in it. The Austin Human Rights Commission is calling for city, county and school leaders to create an integrated youth court to deal with teens going through the legal system. Commission Chair Lisa Scheps says right now, the youth deal with six different court systems that have more than 25 judges. Scheps says now the teens just wind up back behind bars without ever breaking the cycle.  

Despite the existence of a Permanent Judicial Commission For Children, Youth & Families established by the Supreme Court of Texas to "develop, implement, and coordinate policy initiatives designed to improve courts and court practice" through procedural guidelines:   

• develop a strategic plan for strengthening courts and court practice in the child protection system;
• identify and assess current and future needs for the courts to be more effective in achieving child-welfare outcomes of safety, permanency, well-being, fairness and due process;
• promote best practices and programs that are data-driven, evidence-based and outcome-focused;
• improve collaboration and communication among courts, the Department of Family and Protective Services, attorneys, and partners in the child-protection community;
• endeavor to increase resources and funding needed for improvement and maximize the wise and efficient use of available resources;
• promote adequate and appropiate training for all participants in the child protecxtion system;
• institutionalize a collaborative model that will continue systemic improvement beyond the tenure of individual Commission members;
• oversee the administration of designated funds, including the Court Improvement Program grants; and
• provide an annual progress report to the Court.  

As of this writing, there is no recent comment by the Austin Human Rights Commission regarding the effectiveness of the Permanent Judicial Commission for Children, Youth and Families.  

590 KLBJ AM - Austin put out a soundbite where a spokesperson for the Human Rights Commission attempted to relate this to the arrests or incarceration of a disproportionate number of black or minority teens. Your humble blogger is still searching for the soundbyte.  

Your humble blogger doesn't buy this for a moment, either.  

This is an entrypoint for the left to introduce the "Rights of the Child" into the public forum. What a better way to do this than by raising a flag for kids no one cared enough to begin with to keep out of trouble.  

For several years now, liberals have been trying to get the United States to become a signatore of the UN's Convention of the Rights of the Child (CRC). This has been on the Obama Administration's radar since last year. This may soon happen, as Obama had the United States join the UN's Human Rights Council after the Bush Administration refused to join as a sign of protest against the Council protecting human rights violators. Think of the long-arm of the law going beyond taking control of your healthcare. Not just state or federal law. International law.  

                The UN's CRC: a non-American, uniform way to raise children, including yours.

Think parenting and parental decisions and local and state court decisions in the best interest of the child as well. Usurped and aligned with an international law that would grant new rights to children that would include:  

freedom of expression, thought, association, privacy, conscience, religion, a right to rest and leisure, and more. Full abortion and contraceptive rights are granted, even against the wishes of the parents.  

That's just a sampling.  

Here's another: over in Tennessee, there's a bill being considered that would evenly split custody in divorce cases "equally between moms and dads who are unable to agree unless one parent can prove the other utterly unfit."  

It's a crappy bill based on a crappy idea:  

Rep. Mike Bell, a Republican and the bill's key sponsor, said he introduced the bills after constituents' complaints and hopes it might encourage more parents to reconsider divorce.   

So, with a roll of the dice and a laissez faire ruling, your child will end up being tossed between homes, exactly half the time, unless you can absolutely prove your ex-spouse is completely unfit to parent.  

And if you prove they are unfit to parent, wouldn't you want to absolutely terminate parental rights? What would happen to your child support?  

This potential Tennessee law is an example of the government involving itself in the decisions of the family and of parents.  

The Convention of the Rights of the Child would be no different. In fact, it would be worse, because the you and I would have to follow the whims of an international (read: non-American) commission somewhere, possibly based in Amsterdam, who would decide our children would be best-suited to be raised "Euro style."  

I'm not kidding. Research it, learn it. It's there.  

Or check out Austin Human Rights Commission. Their city website is nothing spectacular to look at. They spend most of their energy polishing their social media.   

They don't  list the Rights of the Child as a human right they are particularly concerned with -- yet -- and up until now, they've spent most of their energy polishing their social media and their own website, in between, working on employment, housing, public ordinances issues related to equal rights.  

And finding nice anti-Christian quotes that befit their ideals for theirFacebook:  

"Before you echo 'Amen' in your home or place of worship, think and remember...a child is listening." — Mary Griffith [PFLAG DC's inspiration]  

Will this be a quote our children will recite in place of biblical scripture? We would hope that sort of decision would always rest with parents, last and always.

Fascinating day today.

I’m happily off to a “political meeting,” but before I do, I couple of things I came across as I hung around the Twitterverse today:

First thanks to Clyde Middleton over at The Patriot Room for piqueing my interest with “Here We Go: ICC About to Grab Power; Interpol Next In Line.”

Then Heritage’s David Erhlich put up a great article in The Foundry, entitlted “The ICC: International Justice or Global Government?”

It’s an excellent primer on how, should the Obama Administration decide to become a signatory of the Rome Statute, the ICC’s authority usurps our American rights under the Constitition.

There is also an excellent Online Symposium from the Yale Journal of International Law, put on by Opinio Juris. The Volokh Conspiracy’s Kenneth Anderson participates in it. At his blog, he’s referenced a paper he wrote addressing some of Paul Kennedy’s arguments on collective security, multipolarity and global governance.

Fascinating reads, folks.  

I will blog more on it later, but for now, I’m very glad to be re-entering the fray.

This is the time.

God bless our spouses, our families, and those rallying for freedom and liberty.

A HAPPY AND BLESSED HANUKKAH to Israel and all our Jewish friends. Speaking of Israel, we see that Iran’s Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi is calling for Damascus to join with Iran in striking back at Israel for the attack it feels must be coming within a month or so, according to Iranian Intelligence Services.

The Syrians tepid response to the Iranian call to action may be because they do not wish to attract any more Israeli attention than is absolutely necessary. Though the mental imagery of a military coalition between Syria and Iran is more like the Keystone cops meet Laurel and Hardy. The IDF will no doubt take the situation very seriously. Since the IDF has been probing Syrian air defense measures for some time, the least Syria can expect is the loss of their air force and their command and control centers.

The increasingly feckless Obama administration will make more noise about sanctions against Iran and then do exactly what the United Nations will do, which is nothing. The United States will also make a lot of noise about the detection of highly processed plutonium at Dir a-Zur, where the IAF turned Syria’s secret nuclear facility into so much concrete aggregate. One wonders had the Israeli Air Force not hit these facilities, would the usually inept UN have even known about Syria’s nuclear proliferation with the aid of North Korea and Iran. Traces of the same plutonium were discovered at the nuclear research reactor near the Syrian capital of Damascus.

As we have stated before, the convergence of events has been coming closer in the past few months and Israel must strike before Russia fulfills its contract to deliver the more advanced S-300 anti-aircraft defense system. The US has also been supplying Israel with more advanced fighter aircraft, utilizing special Israeli electronics systems. It is not known whether these are operational as yet.

Given Israel’s proven ability to slip past the best of what both Tehran and Damascus have deployed, and given Iran’s almost comical performance during their much touted defense training, I shouldn’t wonder if there weren’t some uneasy people in the defense commands of both countries.

This week Macmooddidajihad comes to America once again and is given a platform to spew his hate and anti Israel and American rhetoric at the headquarters of the toothless tiger we like to call the United Nations. If you read into his speech you'll see that the American left and most jilted Ron Paul voters share the same sentiment as the middle eastern Hitler in platform shoes.

He spoke of the "evil Zionists murders, American empire nearing it's end, freeing Palestine and the withdrawal US troops from Iraq." Scroll through the top myspace blogs and you'll see liberals and jilted Ron Paulies spewing the same shit.

I'm most disappointed and disillusioned with liberal Jews here in New York who politicked Sarah Palin and denied her a chance to speak at an anti-AM rally. This, of course, was due to Hillary Clinton being invited at this rally as well. Hillary made a non-partisan issue a partisan one, refused to attend and the liberal Jewish organizations honored Clinton by un-inviting Palin.

If you're Jewish or someone who "stands with Israel", please don't come to this blog and call me anti-Semite. I understand why we're allies with Israel. But what are we getting out of it? I've had Jewish friends all of my life and I've always asked them, why are you a liberal Democrat? Why do you support a political party of liberals who continue to hang Israel out to dry? Why do you support a political group who endorse "talking" to those who want to wipe your people off the map? Why don't you support Republicans or conservatives who continually support your home country and bend over backwards for your people?

I never get a straight answer. Below is the speech that Sarah Palin would give if she was allowed. It's clear she gets it. Liberals and Jewish Organizations who have pledged their allegiance to the Democratic Party, as usual, don't.

I am honored to be with you and with leaders from across this great country — leaders from different faiths and political parties united in a single voice of outrage.

Tomorrow, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will come to New York — to the heart of what he calls the Great Satan — and speak freely in this, a country whose demise he has called for.

Ahmadinejad may choose his words carefully, but underneath all of the rhetoric is an agenda that threatens all who seek a safer and freer world. We gather here today to highlight the Iranian dictator's intentions and to call for action to thwart him.

He must be stopped.

The world must awake to the threat this man poses to all of us. Ahmadinejad denies that the Holocaust ever took place. He dreams of being an agent in a "Final Solution" — the elimination of the Jewish people. He has called Israel a "stinking corpse" that is "on its way to annihilation." Such talk cannot be dismissed as the ravings of a madman — not when Iran just this summer tested long-range Shahab-3 missiles capable of striking Tel Aviv, not when the Iranian nuclear program is nearing completion, and not when Iran sponsors terrorists that threaten and kill innocent people around the world.

The Iranian government wants nuclear weapons. The International Atomic Energy Agency reports that Iran is running at least 3,800 centrifuges and that its uranium enrichment capacity is rapidly improving. According to news reports, U.S. intelligence agencies believe the Iranians may have enough nuclear material to produce a bomb within a year.

The world has condemned these activities. The United Nations Security Council has demanded that Iran suspend its illegal nuclear enrichment activities. It has levied three rounds of sanctions. How has Ahmadinejad responded? With the declaration that the "Iranian nation would not retreat one iota" from its nuclear program.

So, what should we do about this growing threat? First, we must succeed in Iraq. If we fail there, it will jeopardize the democracy the Iraqis have worked so hard to build, and empower the extremists in neighboring Iran. Iran has armed and trained terrorists who have killed our soldiers in Iraq, and it is Iran that would benefit from an American defeat in Iraq.

If we retreat without leaving a stable Iraq, Iran's nuclear ambitions will be bolstered. If Iran acquires nuclear weapons — they could share them tomorrow with the terrorists they finance, arm, and train today. Iranian nuclear weapons would set off a dangerous regional nuclear arms race that would make all of us less safe.

But Iran is not only a regional threat; it threatens the entire world. It is the no. 1 state sponsor of terrorism. It sponsors the world's most vicious terrorist groups, Hamas and Hezbollah. Together, Iran and its terrorists are responsible for the deaths of Americans in Lebanon in the 1980s, in Saudi Arabia in the 1990s, and in Iraq today. They have murdered Iraqis, Lebanese, Palestinians, and other Muslims who have resisted Iran's desire to dominate the region. They have persecuted countless people simply because they are Jewish.

Iran is responsible for attacks not only on Israelis, but on Jews living as far away as Argentina. Anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial are part of Iran's official ideology and murder is part of its official policy. Not even Iranian citizens are safe from their government's threat to those who want to live, work, and worship in peace. Politically-motivated abductions, torture, death by stoning, flogging, and amputations are just some of its state-sanctioned punishments.

It is said that the measure of a country is the treatment of its most vulnerable citizens. By that standard, the Iranian government is both oppressive and barbaric. Under Ahmadinejad's rule, Iranian women are some of the most vulnerable citizens.

If an Iranian woman shows too much hair in public, she risks being beaten or killed.

If she walks down a public street in clothing that violates the state dress code, she could be arrested.

But in the face of this harsh regime, the Iranian women have shown courage. Despite threats to their lives and their families, Iranian women have sought better treatment through the "One Million Signatures Campaign Demanding Changes to Discriminatory Laws." The authorities have reacted with predictable barbarism. Last year, women's rights activist Delaram Ali was sentenced to 20 lashes and 10 months in prison for committing the crime of "propaganda against the system." After international protests, the judiciary reduced her sentence to "only" 10 lashes and 36 months in prison and then temporarily suspended her sentence. She still faces the threat of imprisonment.

Earlier this year, Senator Clinton said that "Iran is seeking nuclear weapons, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is in the forefront of that" effort. Senator Clinton argued that part of our response must include stronger sanctions, including the designation of the IRGC as a terrorist organization. John McCain and I could not agree more.

Senator Clinton understands the nature of this threat and what we must do to confront it. This is an issue that should unite all Americans. Iran should not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons. Period. And in a single voice, we must be loud enough for the whole world to hear: Stop Iran!

Only by working together, across national, religious, and political differences, can we alter this regime's dangerous behavior. Iran has many vulnerabilities, including a regime weakened by sanctions and a population eager to embrace opportunities with the West. We must increase economic pressure to change Iran's behavior.

Tomorrow, Ahmadinejad will come to New York. On our soil, he will exercise the right of freedom of speech — a right he denies his own people. He will share his hateful agenda with the world. Our task is to focus the world on what can be done to stop him.

We must rally the world to press for truly tough sanctions at the U.N. or with our allies if Iran's allies continue to block action in the U.N. We must start with restrictions on Iran's refined petroleum imports.

We must reduce our dependency on foreign oil to weaken Iran's economic influence.

We must target the regime's assets abroad; bank accounts, investments, and trading partners.

President Ahmadinejad should be held accountable for inciting genocide, a crime under international law.

We must sanction Iran's Central Bank and the Revolutionary Guard Corps — which no one should doubt is a terrorist organization.

Together, we can stop Iran's nuclear program.

Senator McCain has made a solemn commitment that I strongly endorse: Never again will we risk another Holocaust. And this is not a wish, a request, or a plea to Israel's enemies. This is a promise that the United States and Israel will honor, against any enemy who cares to test us. It is John McCain's promise and it is my promise.

Thank you.

It seems according to this report  www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/127679 running on Arutz Sheva, silly politics has become more important that defending Israel.
