To quote: "there's a remarkable difference between the youth movement of the '60s, which mainly organized outside the system, and the youth movement which has brought Obama to power, because this movement has organized within the system to reform the system. Obama keeps on saying that this movement must not go away, that change hasn't come, that this is the beginning of change."
OK, but how to keep that movement going? Where is it? Will Obama's organizers keep it up– like the campaign they did so well?? Something like the www.november5.org movement? Something we can all support and join in. Obama said he would listen to the people! We need to know how to talk to him, support him against the pressure groups with greedy, war interests.

From another list: What did you say about shadow governments George? GaryinNH

George H.W. Bush signed the Copenhagen Document of the Helsinki Accords calling for equality for all political parties. The US has still not met this obligation under that international agreement. So I find US presidential elections sad due to their purposely having only two possible candidates from two political parties that have virtually no differences between them. The illusion serves its purpose so everyone gets excited and then reality sets in after the president starts satisfying the needs of the elite with a different flavor for the next four years.

So with Obama there will only be some fluff change for the washed and unwashed masses with his handlers representing the Bilderberg Conference and other associated elite organizations close behind. Brezinski has been there and his economic advisors (two from U of Chicago and the other from Harvard supporting privatizing Social Security) gave me the hint as to where this was really going. Yes, there are disagreements amongst the elite but they may now rest assured no substantial change will take place.

Obama does not support Full Equal Rights for Gays and Lesbians that makes him a bigot. So his heart must be feeling good that California is voting no to a human right for Gays and Lesbians. YES, in the United States of America, land of the free and the brave, electing a possible non-"natural born" person president - www.obamacrimes.com , Gays and Lesbians have their human rights approved of by the majority of voters. Recall that this is supposed to be a republic since the Founders never wanted a democracy due to mob rule. Franklin's concern was correct, we could not keep it.

In México we have always been very uncomfortable about USA's aid, from any ideology. It did bother us much the 500 dollars of "aid" with the Plan Merida, it smells to us (as a vaccine) as putting boots farther in to our affairs. No Carla we do not complain because this violent method didn't work, it's because we want USA mighties of all sorts to take their hands and boots off Latin America, we say violence and narcotraffic is managed and profited mainly by USA maffias (bankers, drug dealers, weapon bussiness, WallMart Monsanto... neocons looking for our petrol and complete control of our territory as in ASPA Project, to leave like in an aparthaid. Mexican People ask urgently for only one big enormous type of aid: HANDS OFF MEXICO.

I and friends were receiving lot of information from Obama's and cut it immediateley after Obama pronounced his backing to the criminal Uribe from Colombia, We asked ourselves "Who is this man who dares to make opinions about what has to be done in our countries?, he is just of the same imperialist wood.
I am sorry but that type of opinions do not arise from a pressed man or misinformed but from a person that still believes has the right and power to rule wherever a society is not in conditions to put a sound HALT.

A completely ignored facet of US foreign policy has been the underwriting of the so-called balikatan (Tagalog for "shoulder-to-shoulder") program of support for the military in the Philippines. It is being used to extend the "war on terror" in the archipelago, supposedly to combat Abu Sayyaf, a terrorist band of jihadists, often linked to Al Qaeda by way of Jemaah Islamiya, which operates in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, in addition to the Philippines.

The problem is that US aid doesn't merely limit itself to combating the criminal activities of Abu Sayyaf, but also extends to the more problematic conflicts between the Filipino Government and the separatist Moro Islamic Liberation Front (who have operated quite separately from Abu Sayyaf and whose main political goal has been an independent--or at least more autonomous--region of Muslim Mindanao.) and the Communist New People's Army, whose political wing, the National Democratic Front has been engaged in a political battle of wills (including perpetually-stalled negotiations) with various Manila regimes dating back to the bad old days of martial law under Ferdinand Marcos.

The balikatan policy has been the excuse that Washington has used to re-insert American troops there, albeit in much smaller numbers than in Iraq and Afghanistan---something in the range of 2,000, the last time I checked. But these two thousand "advisors" are alleged to have inserted themselves into combat situations alongside Filipino Government troops in engagements against the MILF. There is little reason to believe that this will help the people of the Philippines to resolve their conflicts, but the point of bringing this up in the first place is this: Barack Obama has pledged to continue this policy.

It remains to be seen whether he will learn enough to reconsider this neo-imperialist promise, but the news that there has been oil found offshore of Palawan (a resource-rich and environmentally-threatened rain forest province on the western edge of the archipelago) gives me a lot of reason to doubt it.
