Mike "I sold the US" Bloomberg
Shame on you Mike Bloomberg. Your "price" was paid a long time ago, but can't you at least PRETEND to care for those murdered on September 11th? Or maybe even our troops that are still out there? Why bother calling anything by it's name anyway? Then let's just call you, 'the whore who sold America.' You ungrateful, unpatriotic, communist. There is a special place in hell for you.

Deadly Blast of Hypocrisy
At least 15 people have been killed and 154 wounded in two explosions in the Turkish city of Istanbul, in what officials say was a terrorist attack.
The first blast occurred in a rubbish bin in the busy Gungoren residential area. The second, larger explosion occurred as crowds gathered.
So far there has been no indication of who was responsible for the blasts.
President Abdullah Gul (that's him in the photo above)said the attack showed "the ruthlessness of terrorism and its goal to engage in savagery".
CHEEKY GRAPEFRUIT: President Gul is sadly devoid of any internal reviewing system by which his own words should be used to describe the very regime under which he terrorises his own people into remaining stagnant vis-a-vis article 301. I wonder, did you attend Hrant Dink's funeral? The perpetrators were treated like heros Mr. Gul. You reap what you sow. Too bad it's your people that you punish.
After the explosions, there were scenes of panic, with people covered in blood as they tried to run from the scene. TV footage showed many victims lying on the street and being carried to ambulances in blankets.
Hidden in bins
Initial reports suggested it may have been a gas leak, but Istanbul Governor Muammer Guler later said he was "certain that this is a terror attack" aimed at causing maximum casualties.
"Terrorists are trying to destabilise the country"
Murat Mercan, AK Party
Cheeky Grapefruit: Truer words have never been spoken by a Turkish politician. I am saddened to see what has happened. I am sorry for the loss of life and trauma caused by this blast. However, the Turkish government, the sole source of terrorism in it's own country still maintaining an ILLEGAL blockade with neighboring Christian Armenia and openly destroying Kurdish settlements in northern Iraq (the part that was picking up a little luster). Abdulla, I suggest you take on working with your neighbors instead of slaughtering them. It's a crazy enough idea that it might just work. Furthermore, I love how the investigation is not over but the initial reports of gas leaks have been replaced with speculation of terrorist attacks.
As always, the full article was not written here. You can find it here instead.

Made in China: Genocide ad Nauseum
As China continues its policy of violence against peaceful Tibetan demonstrators, I recoil at the fact that the World Olympics are only a few months away from their official launch, taking place this year, in Beijing, China. With recent major newspaper headlines, calling the Spiritual Leader of Tibet, the Dalai Lama, “helpless” in stopping the Chinese from attacking the protesters, as a US citizen, I wonder about the perversely selective foreign policy of the United States concerning the subject of genocide. As usual, conflicting reports about the numbers of casualties have appeared, citing a difference of 86 deaths, depending on who’s reporting. On March 20th 2008, the Chinese finally admitted to shooting protesters and their numbers show that 13 people have been killed. The Tibetan figures show that 99 people have been killed (including those in Lhasa), most of whom are monks, demanding the return of their land from the Chinese. These figures exclude the scores of arrests.
At first blush, the current situation in Tibet does not qualify as genocide, because technically a few protesters have been killed in voicing their opinions. There is no apparent systematic approach to annihilating the Tibetans as a whole. But that’s why human beings have the gift of reason. Reason allows us to look at things in context and when we do, we see a long-standing history of genocide being committed by the Chinese against the Tibetans. Why China was even selected as a contender for hosting the Olympics is beyond any honest reason. Imagine Turkey winning a human rights award (not for violations but for progress in the name of...). This is tantamount to China representing the best our world has to offer. I am saddened to think that in this day and age, when everything and everyone seems to be for sale, China might actually be the best our world has to offer.
China continues its white (and red) genocide against Tibet. The Tibetan government in exile is forced to conduct its business from Dharamsala, India. I wonder if they too, like the Armenians look over the guarded border and exclaim, “my what beautiful mountains we have!” The BBC reported that Condoleeza Rice has urged China to show restraint and enter into a dialogue with the Dalai Lama. I don’t know if she was laughing while saying it or if she was busy patting Chinese President, Hu Jintao, on the back. I should like to see the foreign policy of the United States reverberate the message of our own Declaration of Independence, “that all men are created equal,” and by that all men should be afforded the same right of protection when being savaged by a ruthless neighbour intent on their annihilation, not just select Bosnian Muslims because they are the cause du jour.
Our job at the Armenian Genocide Museum & Institute (AGMI) in Yerevan, Armenia is not to cast blame nor demand retribution; there are other organisations that cover those areas. Our job is to show the course of events. To document what happened in such a clear way, that the mere sight of this atrocity shocks the observer into intelligent action, ensuring this barbarism is never repeated. We are, at best the “groundskeepers” for our ancestors and act as a time capsule for those to come. There is no heroism in being the first genocide of the twentieth century. Much like there is no pomp behind being the first nation-state to accept Christianity as a national religion. Many say it, few practice the teachings diligently. That is why we acknowledge not only our own genocide but also the others that came before and those that have sadly, come after. We are the repository of facts.
These events in Tibet are as relevant today as our own genocide was while it was happening. Darfur, Sudan, still ongoing. What precept of goodwill and peace will the Chinese be functioning under during the Olympics? Perhaps they will change their ways. I hope they do. In the meantime, two more Tibetans were killed.

Joint Commission of Genocide Deniers and Liers
In reference to a full page ad the Turkish Consulate took out in the New York Times, April 2007 requesting a Joint Commission of historians to "discuss" the validity of the Armenian genocide
Dear Sirs,
I am writing you in protest of your distasteful acts of tomfoolery
that you sanctioned by paying for an ad in the New York Times that
supports the notion of a joint Turkish-Armenian Commission to debate
and discuss the historical facts of 1915-1918. I assert that 92 years
of denial have rendered your government impotent in being able to deal
with a reality that even the Ottoman Government at the time deemed
horrific and sentenced in absentia the perpetrators of the Armenian
Genocide.
The entire world, even the European Union (which you so lustfully seek
to join) has acknowledged the Genocide of 1.5 million Armenians at the
hands of the Ottoman Turkish government. Your input on the matter is
irrelevant. However, I find that your having to pay for a contrarian
view, detracts from the little Turkey has going for it in this era of
enlightenment and transparency. If you are so determined to decipher
for yourself what occurred during that time, I suggest you revisit your
concept of rededicating AKHTAMAR and actually put a cross on it this
time. Although you may be convinced of what is so in your world, I
suggest you start a commission on joining the rest of the world and
our reality of the basic fact that you continue to blockade a leading
democracy and maintain your position of isolationism for future
generations of Turks. The task of making amends is a tedious one for
you, understandably. I suggest writing a letter of apology to every
Armenian family, for every single, rape, murder and looting your
government committed in first Genocide of the 20th century. It would
also be nice to see you change back the names of the towns, starting
with the one my grandfather came from Dikranagert.

San Francisco Weakly
In reaction to a really offensive op-ed piece published in the SF Weekly blog... http://blogs.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2007/10/sfs_needs_to_kill_its_armenian.php
Mr. Wachs:
Unfortunately, you have been misguided into believing that your
constitutional rights as an American citizen extend themselves to
allow your incompetency and lack of education to proliferate, in
print, an ignorant opinion, hoping to convince others you found the
loophole in a subject matter that up until 1 month ago you didn't even
know existed. Just because you have an opinion does not mean you
should persist in replicating it.
Aside from the blatant disregard for humanity you vomited, let me
address the incorrect statement you made that "there is no current
genocide against the Armenians."
Turkey and Azerbaijan currently have an illegal blockade against
Armenia and Nagorno-Karbakh and have had this blockade in place since
1990 when Azerbaijan went on the war path and massacred Armenians
(again) in the Azerbaijani cities of Sumgait and Baku. In fact, the
Azeri government set up hoards of violent prisoners and mujahadeens
(you know the sort from Afghanistan) to pillage and plunder what was
once a thriving and peaceful Armenian population. Emboldened by
Turkey's support (which the US supports), Azerbaijan continues its war
mongering even today where a fragile cease-fire exists and is
constantly being compromised by misinformation and xenophobia in
Azerbaijan and Turkey.
Furthermore, you stated that Turkey is valuable NATO ally. I assert
that if it were an ally it would not threaten to invade the most
prosperous portion of Iraq simply because it does not want to deal
with it's past. How does that work? You don't call what we did
genocide and we don't invade Iraq? What sort of an ally is that? There
are plenty of other allies that the US can count on because thus far
Turkey has not proven herself. Need I remind you that they opposed US
entry into Iraq and did not allow US forces to go through Incerlik at
the start of the war. We do not rely on Turkey to keep things running
smoothly in Iraq. We rely on our holy troops to put their lives on the
line so that cretins like yourself can have a soft cushion on which to
sit and write the tripe that you (and the editors at the San Francisco
Weekly) seem to believe is fit for publication.
All those who commit genocide, do so with impunity. Much like the
Ottoman Government who committed a genocide against the Armenians and
the Turkish government today continues to provide a disservice to its
citizens by keeping them in the dark, creating generations of
ignorance and emboldening others to follow suit.
Mr. Wachs, the Holocaust occurred as a direct result of the Ottoman
Government not being punished for its actions. Today the Janjaweed are
committing the same crimes in Darfur because your ignorance validates
their actions. I suggest you read up on your history a bit and write
another op-ed-this time apologizing for your inability to think and
your lack of compassion for anything sacred. I invite you to come
visit the genocide museum in Armenia. We don't have T-shirts for sale
at the museum store, but we do have books, and by the sound of things,
you could use a little brushing up.

This Woman PWNED Turkey and Azerbaijan
Sirapri, a 102 year old survivor of the Armenian Genocide, was present at the House vote on House Resolution 106. Despite underhanded techniques used by the Bush Administration and the Turkish lobby, the vote was in favor of calling what happened to the Armenian in 1915-1923 genocide.According to the Turkish Government, this woman and 6million other Armenians, are in a "conspiracy" to blame them for something they never did. Of course, there is no one other than Turkey, Azerbaijan and President Bush who is aware of this conspiracy.
You evil lady, Sirarpi. How dare you hold the world hostage with your mind control powers? I bet that's not a hearing aid in your left ear, it's an encrypted connection to THE CONSPIRATORS.
And to show everyone how well they can play in the sand yard with everyone else, Turkey has invaded Northern Iraq, because it's SUCH a great ally in NATO and they are SO trustworthy and 92 years of denial has left them in SUCH great psychological shape that the minute Sirarpi here shows up, they point their guns that the Kurds ( who participated in the Genocide BTW-Karma is a bitch) and threaten to kill them all under the guise of PKK.
So how does this work? You don't call what we did genocide and we don't invade Northern Iraq?
Don't make me have Sirarpi bitch-slap you, Erdogan.
Muslim countries, Turkey and Azerbaijan continue to enforce an illegal blockade of Christian Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. Turkey also continue to illegally hold 3/4 of the Armenian lands they stole in 1915. Azerbaijian continues its war mongering. Terrorism is alive and well in the Caucasus.

Turkey Up in Arms Over House Resolution Against Armenian ‘Genocide'
Turkey was so alarmed by a proposed House resolution calling the mass slaughter of Armenians by Turks during World War I a "genocide" that it dispatched its foreign minister to persuade American Jewish leaders to lobby against it.
Cheeky Grapefruit: Ummm I don't know how to cut this to you, Turkey, but THE JEWISH HOLOCAUST occurred as a direct result of your government not being punished for its actions in 1915...so if there is any convincing to do, you better look inward. Shame on anyone that denies Genocide.

HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE ADOPTS ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RESOLUTION
WASHINGTON, DC – With a vote of 27 to 21, the influential panel of the U.S. House of Representatives took a major step toward ending U.S. complicity in Turkey’s denial of the Armenian Genocide, adopting H.Res.106, the Armenian Genocide Resolution, despite an intense campaign of threats and intimidation by the Turkish government and its lobbyists in Washington, DC, reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).
The Committee decision opens the way for full house consideration of the measure.
“The Foreign Affairs Committee’s adoption today of the Armenian Genocide Resolution represents a meaningful step toward reclaiming our right - as Americans - to speak openly and honestly about the first genocide of the 20th Century, free from the gag-rule that Turkey has, for far too long, sought to impose on our nation’s elected officials,” said Aram Hamparian, Executive Director of the ANCA. “As Americans, we must always remain free to speak openly about human rights and should never outsource our nation's foreign policy - or our morality - to another nation.”
Voting in support of the measure were Representatives Gary Ackerman (D-NY), Howard Berman (D-CA), Gus Bilirakis (R-FL), Steve Chabot (R-OH), Jim Costa (D-CA), Joseph Crowley (D-NY), William Delahunt (D-MA), Eliot Engel (D-NY), Eni F. H. Faleomavaega (D-SM*), Elton Gallegly (R-CA), Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), Gene Green (D-TX), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), Ron Klein (D-FL), Tom Lantos (D-CA), Donald Manzullo (R-IL), Michael McCaul (R-TX), Donald Payne (D-NJ), Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), Edward Royce (R-CA), Linda Sanchez (D-CA), Brad Sherman (D-CA), Albio Sires (D-NJ), Christopher Smith (R-NJ), Diane Watson (D-CA), Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), and David Wu (D-OR),
Voting against the measure Gresham Barrett (R-SC), Roy Blunt (R-MO), John Boozman (R-AR), Dan Burton (R-IN), Russ Carnahan (D-MO), Jeff Flake (R-AZ), Jeff Fortenberry (R-NE), Luis Fortuno (R-PR), Ruben Hinojosa (D-TX), Bob Inglis (R-SC), Connie Mack (R-FL), Gregory Meeks (D-NY), Brad Miller (D-NC), Mike Pence (R-IN), Ted Poe (R-TX), Illeana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), David Scott (D-GA), Adam Smith (D-WA), Thomas Tancredo (R-CO), John Tanner (D-TN), and Robert Wexler (D-FL). Representatives Ron Paul (R-TX) and Joe Wilson (R-SC) did not vote.
“We want to thank Chairman Lantos, who scheduled this measure for consideration by the Foreign Affairs Committee and voted for its passage, Adam Schiff and George Radanovich, the lead authors of this legislation, Brad Sherman and Ed Royce, who spearheaded the panel’s adoption of the legislation, Armenian Caucus Co-Chairs Frank Pallone and Joe Knollenberg, who generated the broad-based bipartisan support for H.Res.106 and Armenian American Congresswoman Anna Eshoo – all of who have worked tirelessly as the resolution moves toward passage by the full House of Representatives.”
Introduced on January 30th by Rep. Adam Schiff along with Representative George Radanovich (R-CA), Congressional Armenian Caucus Co-Chairs Frank Pallone (D-NJ) and Joe Knollenberg (R-MI), Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA), Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) and Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI), the Armenian Genocide resolution calls upon the President to ensure that the foreign policy of the United States reflects appropriate understanding and sensitivity concerning issues related to human rights, ethnic cleansing, and genocide documented in the United States record relating to the Armenian Genocide. The resolution is cosponsored by 226 Members of Congress from 39 states. A similar resolution in the Senate (S.Res.106), introduced by Assistant Majority Leader Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) currently has 32 cosponsors, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton (D-NY).
Over the past nine months, Armenian Americans and human rights advocates have joined with Members of Congress in educating their colleagues about the Armenian Genocide and the importance of proper recognition of this crime against humanity. The ANCA has mounted several national grassroots initiatives including the highly successful “Click for Justice” and “Call for Justice” campaigns as well as the “End the Cycle of Genocide” Advocacy Days, cosponsored with the Genocide Intervention Network.
