Obama Angry and Evil-Eyed: Obama Gives AIDS Hecklers A Finger: AIDs Treatment Progress?

An angry Obama faced unhappy AIDs activists when they heckled him at his Massachusetts speech for Governor Deval Patrick yesterday. Did the evil-eyed pic come from that rally or his appearance in Ohio, or neither? He appears to be dressed the same at each event. Scary photos. Eyes are the windows to the soul. Ewwwwe!

Barack Obama

The $50 billion over 5 years the administration targeted for AIDS has apparently not begun flowing. Wearing white T-shirts with "Keep the Promise" emblazoned across the chest, they stirred things up a bit. Is this where the camera caught glimpses of a angry, evil-eyed Obama, as he points and yells at the hecklers? True to character, Obama blamed the lack of AIDs funding on Republicans and their fight to keep the Bush tax cuts. Never mind that $50 billion is about a 235% hike in funding over that of Bush, and our Treasury is empty these days.

Barack Obama

President Bush set the gold standard for the World by pledging $15 billion over a five year period for the fight against AIDS. By Fall of 2007, Antiretroviral treatment (ART) had been dispensed to 1.5 million people. One billion of the $15 billion went to something called the "Global Fund."

Then Obama ascends and wants $50 billion. Did I mention that we are a bankrupt Nation? But the Democrats come to the rescue and fire up the printing press. We still have no money. All cash hot off the press has already been spent from here to my eternity.

Shamelessly, he told the eager crowd and the hecklers that Republicans, if elected, will "cut aids funding right here in the United States of America and all across the world."

I have great empathy for anyone suffering from AIDs, empathy for their agony, for their children and families. Having said that,  I do not have empathy for repeatedly spending money on causes when at-risk patients or potential patients do not co-operate. Those potential patients in this case include unmarrieds having unprotected sex and refusing to participate in routine testing, and having unprotected sex with multiple partners whether they accept testing or not. At-risk pregnant Mothers, rape victims (whether male or female) and all children are exempted from my wrath.

This report dated March 2010 says HIV infections are rising among homosexuals, drug users and prostitutes.

An undated government report discussing goals for 2010 seemed to be delivering good news about the spread of AIDs, but as is often the case with government documents, you have to read every word, and get to the bottom of the page before you find this:

Objectives that could not be assessed. Data to assess progress toward their targets were not available for new HIV/AIDS cases (13-5), condom use among sexually active unmarried males (13-6b), testing according to guidelines (13-13a and b), HIV diagnosis prior to AIDS (13-15), perinatally acquired HIV/AIDS (13-17a), and heterosexually transmitted HIV/AIDS in women (13-18).

This interesting report by Matthew Hanley in June 2010 says the "Western approach" to AIDs prevention in Africa has failed. But...a few African countries have cut the incidence of HIV-AIDs by their governments working with the population to doing one thing: changd behavior and cut out multiple partners. Uganda and Kenya have both seen great success from reduced partners. But those grubbing the money to fund their condom project, are blind, deaf and decidedly dumb:

These successes and failures are, tellingly, too often treated in a manner inversely proportional to their merits. Behavior change, though responsible for success, remains the least emphasized approach, while risk reduction invariably receives the benefit of the doubt despite its failure to deliver as promised. Its disappointing results always mean that efforts—along with funding—must simply be doubled. 

Many in the AIDS Establishment will only unreservedly applaud success if it comes through the technical means promoted by Western governments and activist groups. In a 2005 PBS documentary, UNAIDS’ executive director Dr. Piot refused to concede that behavior change played the paramount role in Uganda’s unparalleled success. “But we also know,” he added, “that no country has been successful in bringing down the number of new infections of HIV without strong condom promotion.” 

Who would have thought - simply refraining from sleeping around might save your life. So, maybe it's all about the money.

Obama increased George W. Bush's unprecedented HIV-AIDs funding of $15 billion by 235%. This big spender needs to be stopped in his tracks, as well as think about how Americans might feel when we see the dark and dangerous, angry and evil-looking eyes of our President.

UNRWA, where is the money going?

by Anav Silverman In recent years, billions of dollars have poured into Gaza from hundreds of countries and international organizations. How much of that money has actually reached Palestinian civilians, effectively improving their quality of life and economy, has yet to be completely determined thanks to vague audits and on-line information. Only recently, with a relatively silent international press, have there been questions from top political leaders, primarily from US, about the way in which the donor money will be transferred into Gaza. At an Egyptian donor’s conference organized by Norway and Egypt in early March, more than 75 international donors and organizations met to announce their financial support of the reconstruction in Gaza. Over $5.2 billion were pledged at the conference, surprising the Palestinian Authority who originally called for $2.8 billion needed to build-up Gaza. In light of the US pledge of $900 million, the second largest following Saudi Arabia‘s $1 billion at the conference, US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton stated that no US funds earmarked for Gaza would end up in the “wrong hands.” By wrong hands, Clinton meant Hamas, the militant Islamist Palestinian party in complete control of the Gaza Strip. Over $300 million dollars of the US pledge money will be going to Gaza reconstruction, while the rest of the $600 million has been earmarked to Palestinian Authority‘s Mahmoud Abbas. However, there is another set of “wrong hands” in this scenario through which the transfer of funds may very well pass through, hands that are not considered a neutral player in the Arab-Israeli conflict. US State department spokesman, Gordon Duguid stated that Gaza support would be provided through USAID, in coordination with UN agencies that will most likely include UNRWA. UNRWA, the United Nations Relief Works Agency, established in 1949 to aid Palestinian refugees, has shown dangerous partiality to Hamas terrorists. In 2004, former UNRWA commissioner-General Peter Hansen revealed to the Canadian Broadcasting Company that UNRWA may very well employ Hamas members. “I am sure that there are Hamas members on the UNRWA payroll and I don’t see that as crime,” Hansen infamously stated. He further added, that “We do not do political vetting and exclude people from one persuasion as against another.” UNRWA has employed several high profile terrorists which include top Islamic Jihad rocket maker, Awad Al-Qiq who was killed in an Israeli air strike last May 2008. Al-Qiq was the headmaster and science instructor at an UNRWA school in Rafah, Gaza. Another terrorist, Hamas’s interior minister and head of the Executive Force, Said Siyam, was a teacher for over two decades in UNRWA schools. Fox News recently reported that UNRWA does not ask its employees whether they are members of, or affiliated with, a terrorist organization such as Hamas or Islamic Jihad. UNRWA also offers no formal screening to ensure that its employees are not affiliated with terrorist organizations. During Operation Cast Lead, UNRWA officials accused Israel of firing into an UNRWA school, killing dozens of Palestinian civilians seeking refuge. Israel maintained that Palestinian rocket launchers locate next to the school had fired mortars on IDF soldiers, which prompted the army's response. Later, UN official Maxwell Gaylord, reversed the UN’s stance stating that the shelling and fatalities had actually taken place outside of the school. But the media damage to Israel had already been done.

Have you ever wondered where all the money is ending up? Billions of dollars and Euros. Some of it from US taxpayers. The United Nations is to be supporting peace not war.

Over 180 Palestinian rockets strike Israel since ceasefire

by Anav Silverman Over 180 Palestinian rockets have been fired at Israel since the unilateral ceasefire began on January 18, according to the IDF Spokeperson's Unit. The latest Qassam rocket attack targeted Ashkelon on Tuesday, March 24 after a 10 day lull. A Qassam rocket fired from the Gaza Strip hit the Ashkelon are on Tuesday afternoon. No injuries or damage were reported. Between March 17-24, three Palestinian mortar shells were fired at IDF forces operating along the border security fence. Hamas's Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades claimed responsibility for the mortar shells fired on March 22. The last rocket attacks on Israel took place a week ago, on March 14, when Palestinian rockets slammed into the western Negev. The last rocket attack on Sderot took place on March 5, when a Qassam slammed into an open area in Sderot. Although Hamas recently condemned the Qassam rocket fire from the Gaza Strip, the rocket attacks have continued throughout March. Hamas stated that although it has fired thousands of rockets in the past, its military wing was not behind recent attacks. The militant Islamic group in control of Gaza also stated that it was actively investigating who was responsible for the rocket fire. On the day on which Israeli PM Ehud Olmert declared the ceasefire effective, January 18, Palestinian terror networks fired a total of 19 rockets at Israeli civilians in the south. Three of the rockets were fired after Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and other Palestinian networks declared a truce on the afternoon of January 18. A week into the ceasefire, one IDF soldier was killed and three wounded in a roadside bombing on January 27. Qassams, mortar shells, and Grad rockets have continued slam into Israel sporadically since the truce, with Sderot and western Negev residents entering bomb shelters between one to two times a week. On February 1, the first grad-Katyusha was fired at Israel since Operation Cast Lead, following two more Grad rockets fired at southern Israel on February 13 and February 21 respectively. On February 28, nine rockets including two newly advanced Grad-type rockets slammed into Ashkelon. In what was the worst attack since the ceasefire, a Grad rocket slammed into an Ashkelon school, causing heavy damages. The Grad rocket tore through the school, after the air raid siren sounded in the morning, with shrapnel destroying several classrooms. Seven people living nearby the school suffered from stress-related trauma. The Ashkelon municipality was forced to shut down the school for sometime until repairs could be made. The Grad rocket that hit the school had a range of about 14 km or 8.6 miles, and was designed to cause massive damage. *Ha'aretz.com, Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and YNet News contributed to this report.

For the people of Southern Israel, there is no cease-fire, no truce. Yet the liberals moonbats cry that Israel must honor the cease-fire, the truce. Why aren't they screaming for Hamas to do the same?

Attacking Sderot at DePaul University

by Jacob Shrybman One week ago I shared the human side of the conflict in southern Israel and told my personal stories from Sderot in a presentation at Depaul University in Chicago sponsored by StandWithUs, Hillel, and the university’s Political Science department. As a representative of Sderot Media Center, I traveled from Israel to explain the daily reality of rocket fire that has been plaguing the country for the past eight years. Still one week after I told personal stories of having 15 seconds to run for my life, because of the overshadowing anti-Semitic harassment and disruption caused by pro-Hamas student and non-student organizations my message of understanding and empathy for the people of southern Israel has not yet permeated peoples’ minds.

I wasn’t 30 hours off the plane from Israel before I was greeted with more direct anti-Semitism than qassam rockets fired at Sderot. Several anti-Israel posters draped the entrance to the building in which I was to tell my personal stories. I began my presentation with a small audience of around 20 people and as my presentation went on the room began filling with people not merely against Israel’s political policies and action but people in clear support of the terrorist organization Hamas. When I welcomed the custom of a question and answer period following my presentation the very right of free speech that I welcomed to the audience of now over 100 people was thrown in my face and denied to me. To start the question and answer period, an audience member verbally attacked me, stated his support for the firing of rockets into Israel, and ended his anti-Semitic rhetoric filled rant with a question irrelevant to anything in my presentation. I then pointed out to the audience the same fact I want to point out in this article, that this person was not simply criticizing Israel but was clearly expressing his support for the terrorist organization Hamas. Before I could finish answering the question that was underneath all the threatening hate filled propaganda in this audience member’s statement I was interrupted and silenced by the overwhelming Hamas supporters. Next another audience member rose up in the front of the room and screamed out calling me a “dirty whore” in Arabic and proceeded to grab his crotch and scream “Here’s your qassam!” in Arabic. Continue reading here.

I am not surprised at the reaction from DePaul University. It is an established fact that the majority of US Collages and Universities openly support anti-Semitism and this rhetoric. In fact a student who is Jewish will get lower grades by the majority of their professors if it is brought to the professor' s attention that the student is a Jew. It is chic to be an anti-Semite now on 99% of the campuses today. Documentation of this has become a goal of Gary Fouse of Fousequawk. I ask you, my reader to remember the people of Sderot and Southern Israel in your prayers. I am going to ask you to consider carefully what school you are planning to attend (or your child) and whether that school allows hate speech such as is seen in the video above and others that can be found on the internet. Do you want your child indoctrinated into Nazi rhetoric? Do you want your hard earned dollars supporting Nazi ideology disguised as sympathy for Palastinians? If you are an allumni of such a school and a supporter of Israel, why are you sending the school money to continue these activities? And like I always do, I will ask you to donate to the Sderot Media Center. Just click on the logo at the top or bottom of this post. It will take you right to the donation page. Now is not the time for people to be silence.

Evil flourishes when good men do nothing!
