The US Government Should Not Talk about Human Rights Because Americans Do Not Have Due Process

(ABC) In a network exclusive interview to air on Nightline tonight, we sat down this afternoon with White House senior adviser David Axelrod, the president’s closest aide, whose last day at the White House is today.

We talked about a number of issues in this exit interview, but perhaps most news-worthy were his comments on Egypt in which Axelrod suggested President Obama has for two years “directly confronted” the Egyptian president over human rights issues in order to get ahead of growing discontent among his people – a stronger characterization of President Obama’s discussions with Mubarak than we’ve so far heard from the White House.

Besides the literal meaning of human rights, it is also referred to due process. The hypocrisy of President Obama dictating about human rights and due process to other world leaders is stunning. We have a authoritarian government in the United States making the rule of law as it deemed fit. While other presidents kept themselves under the radar, Obama has demonstrated a transparency of a mild tyrant.

In the United States, human rights is protected under the court of law, but when the government wants something, they will take it. Throughout history, there are presidents who superseded the rule of law. During WWII, FDR had interment camps. During the Civil War, Abe Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus. On Oct. 17, 2006, President Bush signed a law suspending the right of habeas corpus to persons "determined by the United States" to be an "enemy combatant" in the Global War on Terror. Now, President Obama has his "presidential assassination program," whereby American citizens are targeted for killings far away from any battlefield, based exclusively on unchecked accusations by the Executive Branch that they're involved in Terrorism.

Also, President Obama announces detaining American citizens for future crimes that have not been committed.



Unsurprisingly, the abuse of executive power has been going on for many years. Fortunately, President Obama finally chimed in an actual fact. The United States government has for many years imprisoned Americans without due process. In fact, there is an American citizen named Martin Armstrong being jailed for many years in Fort Dix, New Jersey for contempt of court. In reality, Martin Armstrong has something the government wanted.



Martin Armstrong is a financial guru who creating a his own system to determined the timing of the markets and events. Martin Armstrong's model has dumbfounded many analysis. Martin Armstrong became an icon that the CIA and the federal government took notice and wanted the program. According to Armstrong's daughter Victoria Armstrong, "It took nearly 30 years for my dad to develop this model and his refusing to turn over its source code to the government is a big reason why he has been held in jail for over 7 years without a trial. His model was his life’s work and his passion that ultimately landed him in jail. Although it's great to hear people that have benefited from his insight, after seeing what has happened to him I wish he kept it to himself."

From an unofficial Martin Armstrong website, it says,

"Martin Armstrong is currently in prison. Indicted in 1999 on charges of defrauding Japanese investors. He was in jail for seven years for contempt of court before pleading guilty in 2007 to the fraud charge for which he received an additional five year prison term. Armstrong claims his legal problems started when he failed to play ball with "The Club". His imprisonment is one of the longest under a contempt of court order without a trial. Coincidentally, prior to his guilty plea, his final appeal for release (relating to indefinate imprisonment for contempt of court) was denied by (recently promoted) U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

Obama is Responsible Backing Rebel Leaders Behind Egypt Uprising

Many people are questioning why the United States targeted Egypt. A regime change with a country friendly to the United States left many to wonder. The problem is not President Mubarak, but the pro-Muslim conspirators in the government wanting to see him gone. Members of the Muslim Brotherhood, including at least eight senior officials of the opposition group and its main spokesmen, were rounded up overnight. The Muslim Brotherhood may be responsible for the chaos in the streets of Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood is a hard-line radical Islamic organization. They are vying to place their people to head the Egyptian government. If this unimaginable atrocity occur, the fate of Israel will be in jeopardy. Democracy is a good thing, but not for everybody. When religious elements are added to the equation, it is a whole different ballgame.

Obama is causing civil strife and chaos. If the US is adamant about human rights, there are other countries that need major regime change like China, Iran, Palestine, Afghanistan, and North Korea. Egypt has been an ally to the United States and hasn't caused any direct conflict with us. The motives of this Muslim-American president is making itself apparently clear. The United States and its allies are the enemy and Islam is the will of Allah.

The uprising in Egypt can be blamed on the US government. For the past several years, the Obama Administration concocted the revolution in Egypt for a regime change. In the recent headlines from the Daily Telegraph, "The American government secretly backed leading figures behind the Egyptian uprising who have been planning “regime change” for the past three years."

The American Embassy in Cairo helped a young dissident attend a US-sponsored summit for activists in New York, while working to keep his identity secret from Egyptian state police.

On his return to Cairo in December 2008, the activist told US diplomats that an alliance of opposition groups had drawn up a plan to overthrow President Hosni Mubarak and install a democratic government in 2011.

The secret document in full

He has already been arrested by Egyptian security in connection with the demonstrations and his identity is being protected by The Daily Telegraph.

The crisis in Egypt follows the toppling of Tunisian president Zine al-Abedine Ben Ali, who fled the country after widespread protests forced him from office.

The disclosures, contained in previously secret US diplomatic dispatches released by the WikiLeaks website, show American officials pressed the Egyptian government to release other dissidents who had been detained by the police.

Mr Mubarak, facing the biggest challenge to his authority in his 31 years in power, ordered the army on to the streets of Cairo yesterday as rioting erupted across Egypt.

In an interview for the American news channel CNN, to be broadcast tomorrow, David Cameron said: “I think what we need is reform in Egypt. I mean, we support reform and progress in the greater strengthening of the democracy and civil rights and the rule of law.”

The US government has previously been a supporter of Mr Mubarak’s regime. But the leaked documents show the extent to which America was offering support to pro-democracy activists in Egypt while publicly praising Mr Mubarak as an important ally in the Middle East.

The protests in Egypt are being driven by the April 6 youth movement, a group on Facebook that has attracted mainly young and educated members opposed to Mr Mubarak. The group has about 70,000 members and uses social networking sites to orchestrate protests and report on their activities.

Obama Gives a State Dinner to China President but Shows the Dalai Lama the Service Entrance

The Chinese president Hu Jintao is in town to meet with Obama. The state dinner was a traditional fanfare and it was very lavished. Since the Chinese president was received with the customary Obama bow and appeasement, it differs the type of reception Obama gave to the Dalai Lama. In order to appease the China government, Obama must show favor by displaying the utmost disrespect to the Dalai Lama. The leader of the free world intentionally deferred meeting after meeting with spiritual leader of Tibet. Finally, when Obama met with the Dalai Lama in February 2009, he showed the Dalai Lama out via the service entrance. It isn't very dignified to see the Dalai Lama pass by a pile of trash to meet with reporters.
