Obama’s Brutal Barbaric Bombings of Civilians and his Assassination Squad Sparked Yemen Revolution — by NormanB (“Deviations from the Norm”)
Egypt is bigger and stronger. It is easy to miss what’s happening in Yemen.
President Obama sent Coward Drones into Yemen. These unmanned aircraft are operated by cowards on US bases, sometimes within the United States. They primarily murder civilians and terrorize indigenous people in what is called “collateral damage,” collateral to the stated objective of killing those opposed to the US puppet dictator of Yemen, President Ali Abdullah Saleh, and his agenda of delivering his nation’s Oil to China and the West.
In this report from January 22, 2011, Chinese President Hu thanked Saleh for his support of China’s stellar “Human Rights” record, especially concerning Tibet and Taiwan. The article cited doesn’t mention China’s genocidal repression of the Muslim Uygurs in East Turkestan (called “China’s Muslim West” by propaganda voices on US commercial networks who approve of the occupation of Turkestan).

President Obama has also sent a US intelligence assassination squad into Yemen, stressing his assertion that he is allowed to order assassinations against Muslims anywhere in the world, even if they are Americans, even if they are in Yemen. Anwar Al-Awlaki, whom President Obama’s hit men are assigned to kill, has close ties to US intelligence, and was invited to the Pentagon by Donald Rumsfeld’s Defense Department shortly after 9/11.
However US culpability in Egypt may be downplayed, President Obama’s aggression against the poor civilians of Yemen holds a large responsibility for the Yemen Revolution. How many massacres will the US puppet regimes carry out?
Yemenis in the US have been targeted for more than a decade since the DEA rescheduled the herbal drug Qat (Khat), chewed daily by most people in parts of Yemen. The drug is not harmful, and increases fertility in both men and women. As banning Marijuana in the 1930s was rationalized by saying Blacks, Mexicans, and Jazz musicians used it, so was Qat considered evil, as some Muslims show great respect for it: It sparked an artistic movement among Muslim fundamentalists who believe the Commandment prohibiting “graven images” forbids all realistic depictions of humans and animals, but takes no position on psychedelic design.
All of us Americans, and especially all Democrats, should contact President Obama and our Democratic representatives in the House and Senate to demand these simple actions on the Yemen situation:
- Immediately end Coward Drone strikes in Yemen;
- Immediately end US-sponsored assassinations in Yemen;
- Turn those assassins over to the International Court of Justice in the Hague for prosecution for Crimes Against Humanity;
- Tell the truth about US involvement in Yemen;
- Stop corrupting the Yemeni Government.
These are Human Rights deserved by every human on the planet. Common decency requires that President Obama, the US, and the Democratic Party also afford these rights to the Yemeni people.
Meanwhile, in Egypt, US Vice Dictator Puppet Omar Suleiman told his state television audience that Western Journalists are spies causing the country’s chaos. His words incited attacks on journalists that continue. He called for Constitutional changes that nonetheless keep intact Egypt’s absolute dictatorial powers in a totalitarian President. Our President and Secretary of State seem to approve turning the reins of Government over to this man.
But the people of Egypt demand removal of the regime and nothing short. Offering the Egyptians a Suleiman Government [under absolute control of the Obama CIA's top kidnap-and-torture thug] is not honest or credible negotiating. Actual negotiating takes serious attention, not just propaganda. It takes hard work. It will be very hard to change the Egyptian Government, you see, Egypt has its own National Democratic Party to contend with.

Thanks for this reminder. You are right – the coward drones are manned by cowards. This is the video game generation being allowed to murder people via video game technology. The majority of these attacks occur without valid or sufficient ground-level confirmation, without precision, and without strategic or tactical definitions. They are just acts of terrorism and carnage, intended to subdue and terrorize local populations – their true goal, and not intended to be high-precision military tactical strikes. When 50 people are blown apart by hellfire missiles, in the hopes of catching one or two “militants” then I call Bullshit on the claim. The intent was to kill those 50 civilians. And the government could care less whether it “hit” those “militants.” We’ve hit the same militants more than once; if you check the news archives of prior hits, you’ll find that the same militant was believed to be killed on at least two different occassions.
Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen,… The more the US empire tightens its grip on its fiefdoms, the more will slip through its grap. The goal in Egypt now is to engage in puppet-replacement. Certain interests have told Obama that he better keep Egypt as a US-puppet. For “geopolitical reasons.” Democracy be damned. They saw democracy in action in Gaza, and they hate it.
An Empire built on terror, murder, and enslavement cannot long last. IT miscalculates one thing with its hubris: the human spirit. Its flame shall never go out.
Thank you, normanb. My daughter was part of a medical team a number of years back, visiting Yemeni hospitals to teach burn care remedies. Since then she has been under surveillance as she made many friends there.
The drone attacks and other measures resemble very much what we put Iraq through after the US withdrawal orchestrated by Bush I. We the public did not sufficiently realize what the following administrations were doing to that country until a fullscale invasion was underway.
Yemen doesn’t want to become another Iraq or Afghanistan, and who can blame them for that?
Obama okayed drone strikes four days after he was elected. His crimes against humanity began the moment he did that.
The Pentagoons are keen to develop, improve and evolve the coward drone technology. If a few mud people get killed or maimed – what the fuck?
This is Obama’s doing. He is Commander in Chief.
Many, if not most Americans, do not seem to know or care about wholesale murder committed by their government. Doesn’t that seem odd?
