Dear President Obama: Send Bibi to Gitmo!

Or better yet,  drone him An open letter to the President Dear President Obama, I am writing to request that you rendition Netanyahu and send him to Guantanamo. Or better yet, hit him with a predator drone. Bibi is in Washington now. The Pentagon, the CIA, and some well-equipped military bases are just miles away. Rendition teams and predator drones are ready, available, and standing by, avidly awaiting the opportunity to strike. This is your chance! Normally I am not a fan of extraordinary renditions and predator drones. But in this case I would make an exception…one of those “Carl Schmitt exceptions” if you know…

I LOVE Big Brother – so don’t bother torturing me!

  “The concept of the ‘living will’ could also be applied to the issue of torture. Just as you might wake up some day as a human vegetable – who knows, bad things do happen to good people – you might likewise wake up some day strapped to a gurney in a cage in Guantanamo with spark plug wires hooked to your testicles. If that happened, wouldn’t it be great if you could say: ‘Don’t bother torturing me, I’ve already signed a document giving you everything you could possibly need!’” Full story: http://truthjihad.com/news/?p=363

Will this get me sent to Guantanamo?

A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on the Washington DC beltway. Nothing was moving. Suddenly, a man knocks on the window. The driver rolls down the window and asks, “What’s going on?” “Terrorists have kidnapped Congress, and they’re asking for a $100 million dollar ransom. Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from car to car, collecting donations.” “How much is everyone giving, on average?” the driver asks. “About a gallon!”  * * * Normally I wouldn’t expect to get sent to Guantanamo for telling anti-Congress jokes.…

Am I Next?

American citizen. Born in the USA.  Religion: Muslim. Harsh critic of US regime’s genocidal war on Islam. Teller of inconvenient truths. A threat to the powers-that-be. Trying to rally Muslims to jihad in defense of themselves, their faith, and their resources, against the genocidal Zionist-American aggressor.  Can’t arrest him – no evidence he’s committed any crime. So how to silence him? KILL HIM. They were talking about the hero and martyr Anwar al-Awlaki. But they might as well have been talking about me.  I believe every single one of the world’s 1.5 billion Muslims should make it his or her…
