Now That Barack
Obama Is Headed For His Third Term In Office Through Joe
Biden Will He Resume The Extrajudicial Killings
(Articles) December 16. 2020
Barack Obama and his self professed top advisor,
Harvey Weinstein, who came to Obama with the idea of
running for president, after reading a script (Joe
Biden Is A Power Hungry Criminal From The Obama
Administration Following A Movie Script).
After a hotly contested 2020
presidential election, where voter fraud was brazenly
present, the Electoral College confirmed former vice
president, Joe Biden, as the next president of the
United States. Previously, Biden was vice president
under former president, Barack Obama.
Obama, a Nobel Prize winner, murdered
many civilians in the Middle East via an unprecedented
number of bombs. Children were even killed in the many
bombings. In one incident, Obama specifically ordered
the murder via drone of a 16-year-old boy (see external
article excerpt below). The man is an abomination and
aberration.
Obama also engaged in a practice greatly
frowned upon in America as it is unconstitutional -
extrajudicial killings. Obama even had people killed who
began spilling secrets detrimental to his political
career.
Obama had U.S. citizens and foreigners
killed by the C.I.A. and F.B.I in violation of the law.
It is a crime under U.S. law to order or sanction the
killing of an American citizen. However, Obama
repeatedly did so anyway like a devil, in his repeated
pattern of spitting on the law, despite the fact he is a
lawyer.
So, to recap, that's bombing men, women,
children and babies, while holding a Nobel Peace prize,
and ordering the extrajudicial killings of American
citizens in America and on international shores, all in
violation of U.S. law. Obama is full of contradictions
and hypocrisy, among other things, like crap.

Biden distances himself from Obama amid 'third
term' comparisons
Published November 25 - The
president-elect said 'we face a totally different
world.' Sen. Scott: How will Biden differ from Obama
with identical Cabinets? Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., reacts
to Joe Biden's Cabinet picks and Georgia Senate runoffs.
President-elect Joe Biden is seeking to
distance his incoming administration from comparisons to
the Obama years, as some critics speculate his
presidency could be the equivalent of a third term for
former President Barack Obama.
"This is not a third Obama term because
we face a totally different world than we faced in the
Obama-Biden administration," Biden told NBC News in an
interview this week. “President Trump has changed the
landscape, it’s become ‘America First,’ which meant
America alone.”...

ACLU & CCR Lawsuit: American Boy Killed By U.S.
Drone Strike
The ACLU and CCR have filed a lawsuit
challenging the government's targeted killing of three
U.S. citizens in drone strikes far from any armed
conflict zone. In Al-Aulaqi v. Panetta (Al-Awlaki v.
Panetta) the groups charge that the U.S. government's
killings of U.S. citizens Anwar Al-Aulaqi, Samir Khan,
and 16-year-old Abdulrahman Al-Aulaqi in Yemen last year
violated the Constitution's fundamental guarantee
against the deprivation of life without due process of
law.
The killings were part of a broader
program of "targeted killing" by the United States
outside the context of armed conflict and based on vague
legal standards, a closed executive process, and
evidence never presented to the courts...

Obama’s covert drone war in numbers: ten times
more strikes than Bush
We tell the stories that matter. To help
defend quality reporting and spark change, please
support the Bureau
Published January 17 2017 - The Bureau co-publishes its
stories with major media outlets around the world so
they reach as many people as possible. There were ten
times more air strikes in the covert war on terror
during President Barack Obama’s presidency than under
his predecessor, George W. Bush.
Obama embraced the US drone programme,
overseeing more strikes in his first year than Bush
carried out during his entire presidency. A total of 563
strikes, largely by drones, targeted Pakistan, Somalia
and Yemen during Obama’s two terms, compared to 57
strikes under Bush. Between 384 and 807 civilians were
killed in those countries, according to reports logged
by the Bureau.
The use of drones aligned with Obama’s
ambition to keep up the war against al Qaeda while
extricating the US military from intractable, costly
ground wars in the Middle East and Asia. But the
targeted killing programme has drawn much criticism.
The Obama administration has insisted
that drone strikes are so “exceptionally surgical and
precise” that they pluck off terror suspects while not
putting “innocent men, women and children in danger”.
This claim has been contested by numerous human rights
groups, however, and the Bureau’s figures on civilian
casualties also demonstrate that this is often not the
case.
The White House released long-awaited
figures last July on the number of people killed in
drone strikes between January 2009 and the end of 2015,
an announcement which insiders said was a direct
response to pressure from the Bureau and other
organisations that collect data. However the US’s
estimate of the number of civilians killed – between 64
and 116 – contrasted strongly with the number recorded
by the Bureau, which at 380 to 801 was six times higher.
The number of countries being
simultaneously bombed by the US increased to seven last
year as a new front opened up in the fight against
Islamic State (IS). The US has been leading a coalition
of countries in the fight against IS in Iraq and Syria
since August 2014, conducting a total of 13,501 strikes
across both countries, according to monitoring group
Airwars.
In August US warplanes started hitting
the group hard in Libya. The US declared 495 strikes in
the country between August 1 and December 5 as part of
efforts to stop IS gaining more ground, Airwars data
shows...

Obama’s ‘Kill List’ Compared to Trump’s Action
[OPINION]
January 9, 2020 - Obama Administration
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs explained to a
reporter why President Barack Obama was justified when
he ordered an airstrike, targeting and killing a
16-year-old American citizen eating dinner at an outdoor
restaurant in Yemen on October 11, 2011:
Reporter: Abdulrahman al-Awlaki was an American citizen,
underage...he was a minor and was killed without due
process, without a trial.
Gibbs: I would suggest that you would
have a far more responsible father if they were truly
concerned with the well-being of their children. By the
time this boy was killed by President Obama's specific
orders, his father had already been killed, also by an
Obama-ordered drone attack.
Anwar al-Awlaki was a Muslim cleric,
born in New Mexico, who went on to inspire "lone wolf"
al Qa'eda sympathizers to kill Americans and was
publicly speaking out against America and justifying the
killing of as many as possible.
Anwar renounced his citizenship and
moved him and his family to Yemen before making such
dangerous public statements. He was an al Qa'eda
supporter and recruiter for sure. With a phone call and
a push of a button, a drone's missile took him out on a
Yemen road on September 30, 2011. White House officials
insisted that he was centrally planning lethal al Qa'eda
operations there.

From torture to drone strikes: the disturbing
legal legacy Obama is leaving for Trump
Updated Jan 10, 2017, 10:07pm EST - In
his farewell speech Tuesday night, President Obama
warned that Americans “must guard against a weakening of
the values that make us who we are.” “That’s why, for
the past eight years, I’ve worked to put the fight
against terrorism on a firmer legal footing,” Obama
said. “That’s why we’ve ended torture, worked to close
Gitmo, and reformed our laws governing surveillance to
protect privacy and civil liberties.”
But while that makes for a nice sound
bite, it’s not entirely accurate. Using drones to kill
American citizens without trial, collecting the email
and phone records of millions of Americans on a daily
basis, and grabbing militants off of the streets of
foreign cities and imprisoning them indefinitely — these
are all powers that Obama has bequeathed to his
successor.
Presidents George W. Bush and Obama both
dramatically expanded the power and authority of the
executive branch, particularly in the realm of national
security. In addition to having nearly unlimited power
to start wars without Congress’s approval, presidents
now have the power to order drone strikes on US citizens
abroad without charges or trial, gather millions of
Americans’ emails and phone records with minimal
judicial oversight, and radically redefine what does and
does not constitute “torture” without fear of ever being
prosecuted for war crimes...

If Obama apologized for 1 civilian drone victim
every day, it would take him 3 years
This week, President Obama expressed
regret for two western hostages held by Al Qaeda and
accidentally killed in an "anti-terrorist operation."
The deaths of these two men — American consultant Warren
Weinstein and Italian aid worker Giovanni Lo Porto, both
of whom had been held by Al Qaeda for several years —
were indeed tragic.
It would be bad enough if they were the
only innocent victims killed by the US in the "War on
Terror." But they aren’t. Over a thousand civilians —
including dozens of Westerners — are among the thousands
of people who have died in US drone strikes conducted
outside its declared war zones of Iraq and Afghanistan,
according to independent estimates.
While US policy clearly states that
attacks by unmanned aerial vehicles are only carried out
when there is “near certainty” that “non-combatants” —
i.e. innocent civilians — will not be killed or injured,
this latest incident in western Pakistan shows the US
often really doesn't have a clue who it's killing.
Figures tallied by groups such as The
Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ) and Open
Society Foundation also suggest as much. More from
GlobalPost: Drone Wars: Is it legal? TBIJ data show the
US has launched more than 500 drone strikes in Pakistan,
Yemen and Somalia since 2002 as part of
counter-terrorism operations launched in the wake of the
2001 terrorist attacks against the United States.
Those covert operations, directed by the
CIA and military, have resulted in the deaths of as many
as 5,160 people, including 1,124 civilians, according to
TBIJ...
