| Comment by shame - 15 Dec 2008 - 09:33 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | Shame on you and your country for failing to deal with your own problems, for ta king the innocent lives of British and American youth, for your corrupt culture and your inability to understand the role of the fourth estate. Even those of us in Britain who oppose the war feel shame and disgust for your failed values and country. |
| Comment by mikecorbeil - 15 Dec 2008 - 10:06 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | Seems like the prior post, by shame, is either rooted in insanity, thepsychopath ic kind, or he or she is talking about GW Bush and the U.S. govt. After all, ev erything shame wrote applies to the U.S. govt and Bush, i.e., Pres. Bush. BUT, given that that would, by extension, also apply to Britain, I guess shame is wro te his or her words to Iraqis, and, on that basis, psychopathy happens to be shame's reality; living in denial, lying, ... like psychopaths could be expected to do. HYPORCRITE also applies.
Anyway, on with what I had in mind of posting until reading shame's garbage, I j ust viewed a Canadian TV news piece showing the journalist throwing a pair of sh oes at Bush's head and the journalist was a pretty good shot, for if Bush hadn't ducked, then he would've gotten his "just deserves" where they were intended to occur, the object looking like a head that he wears. Well, the Canadian TV channel, French, in Quebec, and called LCN said the journalist who threw the shoes is from Egypt. It's what I believe to have clearly heard anyway.
The reporting definitely said the or a person present was or is Egyptian, and I believe they were referring to the journalist throwing the shoes.
If they were referring to him and said he's Egyptian, then I wonder how they got this screwed up.
Bush seemed to react a little oddly, I think, for he certainly seemed to have a handy set of things to say to downplay having shoes thrown at him in public and while televised. Given he treated the incident as basically nothing worth getti ng upset about, this should mean absolutely no punishment for the journalist.
But there should be no punishment for the journalist didn't do anything at all t hreatening the life or safety of Bush. The journalist should be immediately rel eased and allowed to go on with his work and life, and I'll sign this petition n ow.

| Comment by mikecorbeil - 15 Dec 2008 - 10:27 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | Well, actually, I won't be signing the petition after all, for it requires donat ing money and while as little as $2 is accepted, I have no technological means o f providing, and also don't have enough to feed myself with groceries for more t han two and a half to three weeks a month.
But I hope he's released. There is no justification to punish him for his artis tic expressionism!
|
| Comment by mikecorbeil - 15 Dec 2008 - 10:37 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | Furthermore, not only did Bush downplay the shoes being thrown at him, he explic itly treats the action as good publicity for him, saying that when people oppose you like this in public, it draws attention to you; and it's clear that he mean s publicity kind of attention.
In any case, the journalist definitely should be released and immediately so. T he most that could be justified would be that they remove him from the audience before Bush; NO jailing, etcetera, just removal from the immediate premises, at most.

| Comment by agentbluescreen - 15 Dec 2008 - 17:11 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | Undoubtedly the bravest most valiant and courageous act of the entire Trazi- Cri minal Iraq Armed Robbery, Muntather al-Zaidi will become a renown international hero for this proudest and most distinguished, civilized act of justifiable patr iotic Iraqi Republican indignation in the face of this brutal religious-fascist criminal Bush tyrant, bloodthirsty invader, nation destroyer, government corrupter and mass murdering dictator. |

The signing of the petition doesn't actually require money to be paid. that is a request. To have found that out Mike you must have signed.
On the other hand I have signed once before a petition which was against Howard, the Australian participant in war crimes and crimes against humanity. It also r equested money afterwards. I never read or heard a word about that petition anyw here thereafter.
I am extremely doubting as to whether these 'petitions' are genuine and are not only just opportunistic scams which take your details and your financial and oth er data.....
This could even mean it is a scam by the depraved typs of our species, notably t he CIA or Mossad or as money is involved, the Illuminati which owns them both w hom it would amuse to store your data as "a supporter of terrorism" or such othe r hogwash they use to comfort themselves in taking action agaist the decent peop le of this world who protest injustice.
To find out I what Mike speaks about had to go through the motions of signing. M y impression is that this is a con. The ploy is to get someone steamed up enough to commit, then send a few dollars. The petition will possibly never see the li ght of day, however a list of interested parties will be generated along with th eir financial details as I said. BE VERY CAREFUL.
My suggestion is that all of us find some facts about this chap and write our ow n petitions to the authority holding this journalist and support his right to pr otest. Whether throwing shoes is symbolic or not we might think carefully about violent protest, even when nothing else appears to work.
This journalist, presuming it wasn't all staged as was 911, for some nefarious B ush purpose, deserves our support. Let's give it if we believe that and care abo ut his fate, representing possibly our views.Let's not however be screwed by a s cammer even if it is on URUK net.
I have said elsewhere that dragging down the Illuminati through nationalising th eir entire resources and companies and nationalisng the reserve bank and the Ban k of England and the Illuminati owned central banks in almost every Nation on th e planet. All but five belong to the Rothschild Illuminati. It will be difficult and will require the people to take control of their governments and move away from secret party politics. The Australians had the experience of this kind of shadowy new world order politics many years ago in a political exposure called "the thirteen faceless men"...interesting..12 plus one, again.
The reason strife rules the earth is because the Bankers and financiers in that group, Rothschilds being "the messiah" and the original 12 banking heads of Euro pe chosen by a Rothschild to implement his new world order, represent the 10 tri bes of Israel and the 2 of Judah. Tragically, and I mean that sincerely, the con spiracy for world domination was the faustian covenant of an orthodox and very disonest Jew. I wish it were some other species.
Certainly as the Illuminati campaign spread into the Bilderbergers other people became involved, zealots. No doubt the world could be a far better place but the obscenity is that these digustingly wealthy people, people who use and discard people to maintain or improve their "bottom line"... preening themselves as savi ours of mankind (saving it for their own greedy and lustful ends) have been continuing the acts of others for 2 centuries or so who have created strife and war for profit...and these people in the Bilderberger (Illuminati and their criminal associates) are actually CREATING the strife from which they then claim to be saving us all.With the media they own control and so by shaping reports and generating the sort of TV trash which exits America to corrupt other countries they have accelerated the new world order from 30% completed to only 30% uncompleted....since WW11.

Look at the names on Bilderberger sites and you will see people not Jewish by re ligion, the Murdoch media billionnaire for example, the Clintons, F. Geithner (P residents, Federal Reserve Bank of New York), George Soros, Paul Volcker, Alan Greenspan (former Chairman of the Federal Reserve), H. J. Heinz II (CEO of H. J. Heinz Company), Peter A. Thiel and many many others. The total is about 130 actual representatives....all stuffing up the world wherever they can so as to prepare us for "a better life"...one we'd likely already have without their disgusitng activities.
I recall again this statement attributed to Rockefeller
"We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and o ther great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossi ble for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lig hts of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." -- David Rockefeller
and Wilson in 1913 : "Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views c onfided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the U. S., in the field of c ommerce and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so i nterlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." (and it isn't "god", Francois)
and this one attributed in a book "Kissinger on the Couch ": "Once the ruling me mbers of the CFR have decided that the U.S. government should espouse a particul ar policy, the very substantial research facilities of the CFR are put to work t o develop arguments, intellectual and emotional, to support the new policy and t o confound, discredit, intellectually and politically, any opposition.
The world can run, irrespective of what Clinton espoused and still espouses, in smaller Governments but the problem is that the devious human lifeforms which co mprise the Bilderbergers (all associated with the lodge, Rothschild/Rockefeller' s Illuminati and the Mafia one way or another)are engaged in ensuring peace will not come until people are desperate for "a new world order" To that end they lie cheat and steal. Look at their lives...is this the human vermin you want controlling the whole world?
They are convinced that we are now ripe for plucking, Bush tested us and found d epleted brainpower. The new world order (Israel is the M.E. agent) organised the Trade Towers attack and the invasion of Iraq. The Bilderbergers trade in decept ion and misery and MONEY.
So recalling these things and making your own investigations, perhaps before sig ning this petition wonder about its unspecified, untraceable origins, what you a re giving someone and for what it will be used.
Yes support the right to protest but perhaps it will be more effective coming pe rsonally from you and certainly any organism asking for money to present a petit ion sounds more like our enemies than our friends. Voila.

| Comment by harland harrison - 15 Dec 2008 - 19:54 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | George W Bush deserves trial for war crimes; throwing shoes is not enough. You c an sign the petition without donating any money. The donations go to iPetition, not the organizer. MikeCorbeil's name is, in fact, already on the list. |
| Comment by thadamm rawke - 15 Dec 2008 - 21:19 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | Today, I shall tie a pair of shoes to my vehicle in honor of Montatger Al-Zaidi.
Shoes, shoes, shoes, everywhere I turn, I see shoes...
Throw shoes (preferably pre soiled with dawgshitt) over the Whitehouse fence.
The Whitehouse lawn littered with soiled shoes.
The steps of Congress, littered with soiled shoes.
Shoes, shoes, shoes, in honor of a brave man.
Montatger Al-Zaidi, I salute you. I wish you and the Iraqi People sucess in driv ing out the plundering crusaders.

| Comment by marlene azoulai - 16 Dec 2008 - 04:09 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | Shoes---what you wear on your feet, as you walk upon your own native sacred soil . How appropriate that shoes would have been thrown at Mr. Bush in Iraq, a land that he has plundered and ravaged, where hundreds of thousands of people have be en killed, all in the name of US profits and greed.
Those shoes were soaked in the tears and blood of the many innocents who have di ed in Iraq...and I would have proudly hurled them myself.
Speaking truth to power, Marlene Azoulai |
| Comment by mick - 16 Dec 2008 - 05:44 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | Muntadar al-Zeidi should be free! Bush is a pig and a dog and a liar and he shou ld be in JAIL in iraq if he is to be in iraq! |
| Comment by maik - 16 Dec 2008 - 16:27 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | EVERY ONE SCHOULD SEND HIS STINKING SHOES TO THE WHITE HOUSE TO SHOW SOLIDARITY AND RESPECT FOR THE 1.2OO.OOO AND COUNTING IRAQIS DEATH AND DESTRUCTION AND F OR THE MASSACRE THAT IS GOING ON IN AFGANISTAN PALESTINE SOMALIA AND PAKISTAN.
SHOW THOSE BARBARIC AND RACIST REGIME IN WASHINGTON HOW YOU FEEL BY SENDING YOUR STINKING SHOES A LA AL BUNDY |
| Comment by fra noël - 16 Dec 2008 - 17:59 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | A pair of shoes in the face is a little punishment for a mass murderer.
Even Jesus Christ would have used his holy sandals to do the same. |
| Comment by danny dayus - 16 Dec 2008 - 20:50 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | His shoes should be on permanent display in the national Museum of Modern Art. L ike millions of others, I wish I was there to see his timeless statement represe nting the victims of all the wars engendered for profit. |
| Comment by eyehateu2 - 17 Dec 2008 - 16:59 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | Free this brave and heroic Iraqi Muntather al-Zaybi!!!Bush the criminal didn`t g et hurt that is unless you consider his ego!Muntather is being tortured as we sp eak,Sunni,Shia,Arab,Kurd,Christian ,and Yazidi should unite and demostrate and d emand the investigating judge to release Muntather immediately without charge,i n fact he should given a award,for standing up for all Iraqi`s dignity and honor and virtue !!!Hail Muntather ,and Hail the Supreme martyr Saddam Hussien!!! |
| Comment by samizdat - 17 Dec 2008 - 18:15 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | I haven’t had a president since November 22, 1963, but beginning January 20, 200 9 President-elect Barack Hussein Obama will be my president. Because the “presid ent,” Bush the thug from Texas, has all but erased the meaning of sovereignty fr om the planet, the future of hero Muntadar al-Zaidi is uncertain. However, his c hances for justice are light-years better now that a man of dignity is about to assume the most powerful post on Earth. |
| Comment by pash man - 17 Dec 2008 - 22:25 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | Hey mikecorbeil-You don't have to donate, just sign it and after it is recorded, close the window. Sign it today! |
| Comment by kirilova - 19 Dec 2008 - 18:58 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | Atrocious! The journalist is subjected to reprisals because of his protest react ion. It's Bush's junta war crimes that are abject, not the normal protest reacti on of an ordinary Iraqi. Is this the "Iraqi freedom"? |
| Comment by thegeniusfiles - 19 Dec 2008 - 22:31 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | One of the commenters expressed a concern that the petition is a scam intended t o obtain a list of 'terrorist supporters.' Well, if you want to hide your belief s out of fear, that is your business. Don't complain about things that are happe ning, if you don't have the courage to speak out! Here I am, CIA: al-Zaidi shoul d go free. As an American citizen, I say America has no business interfering in Iraq, Afghanistan, or anywhere other than the United States. We have our own problems at home to attend to. |
| Comment by shoethrowinggirl - 24 Dec 2008 - 00:14 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | If I was there when Muntadher threw his shoes, my size 4 stilettoes would also h ave flown, straight towards Bush's nasty eyes!!!
The Maliki goons should be ashamed of themselves, for beating a hero of their na tion.
And 'shame', whoever you are, sort yourself out, and get some research done befo re spouting your filth! NOT ONE SINGLE IRAQI TOLD BUSH TO ENTER IRAQ, or torture , maim, loot, rape and kill the civilians of Iraq! Got it? GOOD. |
| Comment by henry ford - 25 Dec 2008 - 11:54 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | No more wars for IsraHell ! US/Zionists out of Iraq and Palestine ! |
