“Today, November 23rd, I was slated to give remarks in Damascus, Syria at a Conference being held to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and, sadly, the 60th year that the Palestinian people have been denied their Right of Return enshrined in that Universal Declaration. But a funny thing happened to me while at the Atlanta airport on my way to the Conference: I was not allowed to exit the country,” writes McKinney."


This is an example of far we've fallen in America. Citizens prevented from leaving the US. This is an example of a democratic society that is turning into an authoritarian society.

Here are some examples:

***Political stability maintained by "control over and support of the military to provide security to the system and control of society; 2) a pervasive bureaucracy staffed by the regime; 3) control of internal opposition and dissent; 4) creation of allegiance through various means of socialization."

No guarantee of civil liberties or tolerance for meaningful opposition
Weakening of civil society: "No freedom to create a broad range of groups, organizations, and political parties to compete for power or question the decisions of rulers," with instead an "attempt to impose controls on virtually all elements of society"

"Highly concentrated and centralized power structures," in which political power is generated and maintained by a "repressive system that excludes potential challengers" and uses political parties and mass organizations to "mobilize people around the goals of the government"

The following principles: "1) rule of men, not rule of law; 2) rigged elections; 3) all important political decisions made by unelected officials behind closed doors; 4) a bureaucracy operated quite independently of rules, the supervision of elected officials, or concerns of the constituencies they purportedly serve

    • Isn't this the same Cynthia McKinney whose father made the comment either during her primary campaign or just after her primary defeat, "That ain't nothin'. Jews have bought everybody. Jews. J. E. W. S.?" Maybe they stopped her from going to Syria, too. On the other hand, one might wonder how much credence should be given to anything that her father or she claimed.

      That's not what the mainstream media is saying about Rahm "son of a Zionist terrorist" Emanuel, who's terrorist father made disparaging remarks about Arabs.

      Quote:

      “Obviously, he’ll influence the president to be pro-Israel. Why wouldn’t he? What is he, an Arab? He’s not going to be mopping floors at the White House.”

      We seem to be giving plenty of credence to Rahm Emanuel in spite of what his father said.

      See how that double standard works?
