The Distant Ocean Screams
BO supporters have discovered that "green energy" to Obama means nuclear power and offshore drilling as BO pays off Excelon his Chicago nuclear campaign fund donors by subsidizing them to build more waste generating plants in the US. So let's look at how BO relates to animals. BO treats them as is usual in the cultures he most admires. It was not enough for BO to kill horses and burros by use of his Forest Service. His mass extermination of these animals has the goal of allowing only 400 to be left alive in 11 territories. Earlier this month the Forest Service proposed continuing and even introducing cattle grazing in these same wild horse and burro territories.
Can you imagine what he will do to factory farmed animals? Take a look at what our hip, left, leader is doing to whales.
If you can stand the typical left, anti Semitic, Jew hating lies in support of Arab patriarchal thugs Distant Ocean is a good blog on other issues. Warning:women's rights do not exist there. But on other issues, it is interesting. For instance:.

Just got this email from Phil Radford, executive director of Greenpeace USA (my emphasis throughout):
I cannot believe that I am writing you this letter ...
The international ban on commercial whaling, which Greenpeace fought tirelessly to pass in the 1980’s, is now in critical danger of being overturned.
A proposal has been put forth at the International Whaling Commission (IWC) that would not only reinstate commercial whaling around the world, it would legitimize Japan's "scientific" slaughter in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. Nearly 25 years of protection for the whales could be tossed out the window if this proposal passes at the next IWC meeting in June 2010.
Shockingly, the Obama administration’s representatives at the IWC actually support the deal to reinstate commercial whaling and are urging other nations to do the same. The delegates say that their directive comes directly from President Obama himself.
Got that? The directive comes directly from President Obama himself. I say again, the directive comes directly from President Obama himself. Let me just repeat that the directive comes directly from President Obama himself. We're clear on that, right? Because it will be important later. OK, onward:
In light of this unexpected and deeply disturbing news, Greenpeace is gearing up for one of the biggest battles that the war against whaling has ever seen. This is an "all hands on deck" moment, to say the very least.
Never did I imagine that we would be defending the whales from President Obama - a man who inspired so much hope in our hearts for a green and peaceful future; a man who promised Greenpeace he would help strengthen the commercial whaling moratorium.
During the presidential race, then-Senator Obama gave this response to a Greenpeace questionnaire dated March 16, 2008: "As president, I will ensure that the U.S. provides leadership in enforcing international wildlife protection agreements, including strengthening the international moratorium on commercial whaling. Allowing Japan to continue commercial whaling is unacceptable."
If President Obama is serious about his commitment to protecting ........
forget this part - waste of time --Bo is as serious about his campaign promises as he is about women's rights. The top heavy with males environmental movement should stop humping BO's leg and get back to organizing -- in fact they should take their lead from Watson at Sea Shepherd who knows how to deal with the murderous ocean rapists.
Distant Ocean agrees: You recall that the directive comes directly from President Obama himself, right? Because it was apparently easy to forget, as Radford did halfway through his own letter when he asked "if President Obama is serious about his commitment to protecting the whales" and then chose the adjective "clumsy" for the pen stroke (as though Obama's imaginary hand just, you know, slipped or something).
Now, I get that it's often hard to believe in betrayal, even as you feel the knife slicing into your back; I really do. I'm sure we've all been through that kind of painful realization. Nonetheless, it takes a moment of serious cognitive dissonance to start out a letter noting that US delegates are acting on Barack Obama's direct orders, and then follow it up by asking if Obama is serious about his commitment to the exact opposite of what he's currently doing. It's at least good that Radford is learning an important lesson here; I'm just sorry that he and millions more like him have to learn it over and over and over again.
Distant Ocean and Greenconsciousness ask you to sign the petition anyway because threats to not vote work and because ...........
I do encourage you to follow Radford's request to [sign the petition](though you'll probably want to replace the prepared text)—not because it has any chance of changing the outcome, but because I always feel there's intrinsic value in registering dissent.
While Greenpeace in begging BO to please please honor his words to those who elected him, SEA SHEPHERD is risking their lives on the Ocean placing their boats between the whalers and the whales. Donate what you can to the Sea Shepherd.

I don't sign petitions, because my name is too long, and being a Conservative Republican I believe that we should drill everywhere possible. I also think that your commenter song! on your last post with whom you had a huge disagreement is a minimal minded moron.
Drilling is one thing but nuclear is another -- nuclear is bad and i am not going to get in a big thing about it -- any woman ought to know garbage you cannot get rid of but stands around stinking up the house is bad. And the Whales? For G-d sake, how low can you go - to say nothing of campaign promises. BO shows us the contempt he has for the voters.
Song is not a moron - go view her site - she is a musician and growing. Song believes in self defense for herself. She does not see how defending other women's rights by force is her own self defense. But I do, having founded BW shelters when everyone said it was non of my business. Alternatives for those women made me freer and wiser.
But I have rarely met women who can understand that we as women have a duty to our whole gender to support their struggle for freedom IN THEIR OWN CULTURE and that safeguards our own rights in the US. None who were willing to support the war for that end. They are caught in that patriarchal box thinking. Well the man does not have good motives so I cannot use what he does, even if it helps women. I believe to ignore the threat from the Brotherhood is suicide but they can't see it because it is intangible. They think we are worried about a bomb on 4th street. But the threat to women is the erosion of the rights some of us gave our whole lives to win and will be easily lost.
I am always faithful to those who struggle for freedom because wherever any freedom is lost or gained it affects my freedom. But we cannot still be free and flooded with immigration here in the US. We must help those who seek democracy in their own country by fighting the fascism of Islam.
I will not look away or find reasons not to support the women and girls who struggle to be safe and free. I know the rising of the women means the rising of the entire culture -- we get better men when we have free women. By any means necessary.
jAPAN THAT SLAUGHTERS WHALES THINKS OF WOMEN THE SAME WAY:
'RapeLay' video game goes viral amid outrage
By Kyung Lah, CNN
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Tokyo, Japan (CNN) -- The game begins with a teenage girl on a subway platform. She notices you are looking at her and asks, "Can I help you with something?"
That is when you, the player, can choose your method of assault.
With the click of your mouse, you can grope her and lift her skirt. Then you can follow her aboard the train, assaulting her sister and her mother.
As you continue to play, "friends" join in and in a series of graphic, interactive scenes, you can corner the women, rape them again and again.
The game allows you to even impregnate a girl and urge her to have an abortion. The reason behind your assault, explains the game, is that the teenage girl has accused you of molesting her on the train. The motive is revenge.
When does a video game go too far?
It is little wonder that the game, titled RapeLay, sparked international outrage from women's groups. Taina Bien-Aime helped yank the game off store shelves worldwide.
"This was a game that had absolutely no place on the market," said Taina Bien-Aime of women's rights organization Equality Now which has campaigned for the game to be taken off the shelves.
But the controversy that led to stopping sales of the game instead took it viral.
That was how Lucy Kibble and Jim Gardner in Britain heard about it.
"I think the idea that you can do it by wholesale banning is just never going to work anyway because we downloaded it for free off the Internet," Gardner said.
In the case of RapeLay, he was right. It is still readily available on dozens of Web sites, sometimes for free.
What happened to RapeLay is an example, said Bien-Aime, of why Japan needs to police game makers.
"It's obviously very difficult to curtail activity on the Internet. But the governments do have a role in trying to regulate this sort of extreme pornography of children, both in their countries, and through the Internet ," she said, adding that they were calling for the Japanese government "to ban all games that promote and simulate sexual violence, sexual torture, stalking and rape against women and girls. And there are plenty of games like that. "
Those games are known as "hentai games." Almost all feature girlish-looking characters. Some of the games are violent -- depicting rape, torture and bondage in detail.
Step into a game shop in Akihabara, Japan's electronics district, and hentai games are readily available. In minutes, we found a game similar to RapeLay. The object here is also revenge: Find and rape the woman who fired the player from his imaginary job. Along the way, the player can rape a number of other girls and women.
Hentai games are not new to Japan. This country has long produced products the rest of the world would call pornographic. But before the arrival of the Internet, such items stayed in Japan. Now, once a game goes on sale in Tokyo, it is digitized and shared everywhere.
Japan does have censorship laws for sexual content. In games and videos, genitalia are obscured, even if it is animated. But Japan's laws do not restrict the themes and ideas of the games.
A national law that would make possession of real and virtual images of child porn illegal is under discussion, but no serious legislation has moved forward in Japan's parliament.
CNN contacted the Gender Equality Promotion Division in the Gender Equality Bureau of Japan's Cabinet Office, which is charged with handling the hentai gaming issue.
Despite repeated calls over a period of weeks, no representative from the government office would comment to CNN on camera. The office refused to make a statement on paper. A spokeswoman would only say over the telephone that the Japanese government was aware that the games were a problem and it was checking to see if self-policing by the gaming industry was enough.
A member of the Institute of Contents Culture, who did not want to give CNN his name, said restricting game themes limits freedom of expression.
"In my opinion, RapeLay's storyline went too far. However, if a game creator wants to express something and create content out of it, a government or public entity shouldn't have the power to restrain it."
Lucy Kibble and Jim Gardner, the gamers in Britain, said trying to control games on the Internet was futile and that content control was up to parents.
"The idea of banning it, or telling people what they can and can't do just because on the off chance some kid might get involved with it is just ridiculous," said Gardner.

I guess Obama is a conservative republican as yesterday he announced he was expanding off shore drilling. He has signed the loan guarantees to build nuclear power plants. Now Mary, maybe you can lose the useless political labels and start seeing beyond such male defined boundaries. Don't ask if it is repub or dem -- just ask -- what helps women toward freedom and how can I push the tide toward that purpose. Political party differences do not exist -- the only differences are in how they label their oppression but the actuality is all the same.
Well Miss Smartypants, if you want to change the world you have to put a mirror to it. Which is something I learned while taking courses in makeup application.
Now I am the first one in line to stand up for whales, women and children, and you wouldn't know it to meet me.
BECAUSE, I know what's right, and wrong, and I have a sneaky streak in me, that I was born with, which YOU wouldn't know anything about, because YOU are very straightforward.
Nope, I don't believe I should suffer to alleviate suffering? That's the Republican part of me.
Oh, I don't care about male defined boundaries. the more boundaries, the less they can do.
I don't believe anyone has to suffer to alleviate suffering. Just the opposite actually.
But boundaries are in the labels "republican" and "democrat". These labels are illusions.
oh, yes, I see. hmmmm...Then think of me, as a Republican illusion for all I care.
You just can't change my mind because you have a reasonable mind yourself. I am very methodical in my approach to everything. Very slow to conclude.
Very slow.
So, a label is one absolute, but so is an illusion. That would make two absolutes, and one is enough.
hugs.
now i dont know what we are talking about...
but I was over at rachel's and OMG
i can't believe FB prevented passover greetings
http://rachelcervantes.wordpress.com/
Oh, now you have ended my fun, and yanked my religious freedom chain.
how could you?
so she published a whole thing on what is passover and i was reminded of why evolved Jews have such a superior belief system -- correct values correct use of ritual clear important lessons taught well, even though they have the same fundamentalist bad actors on the ground.
Well there are 5 predicted Messiahs coming.
Let's wait and see which one it is? And you can root for the Jewish one. Sounds like he would be nicer from what you say.
then he can rule the world.
I can't wait.
Oh my (sigh) you would like Deborah.
