Barack Obama: Do as I Say and Not as I Do

This has got to be one of the most insane things I have seen done by a presidential administration since I can remember. That is not hyperbole, it's not exaggeration.
The administration of Barack Obama (aka "left cover Peace Prize President" or as I call him Obama™) has publicly announced that they are paving the way for private U.S. citizens (and corporate "citizens") to provide money to assist the al Qaeda linked terrorists who are destabilizing Syria on behalf of the corporations and banks that run NATO… on the SAME DAY they filed an appeal to a Va. court looking to overturn the court's decision to keep them from illegally indefinitely detaining U.S. citizens… for contributing to al Qaeda and their "related militant organizations"
I shit you not. You can buy guns for al Qaeda but if you write a book stating that we had no business invading Afghanistan to remove the Taliban over the Trans Afghan Pipeline, President Peace Prize wants to put you in a military prison for the rest of your life.

Now you legally can buy weapons for Syrian rebels, according to the Obama administration. Sacramento and national media are now telling U.S. residents that they can legally arm Syrian rebels by sending money to theSyrian Support Group based in Washington, DC at 1000 Connecticut Avenue NW, suite 900, Washington DC 20036 and run by an American. There's a link on the group's website you may click if you wish to donate money.
The group supports the Free Syrian Army (FSA). The Free Syrian Army is an armed opposition group operating in Syria that has been active during the Syrian civil war. Examiner

The other day the so-called "Free Syrian Army" dragged 4 or so captured government supporters out of a school they had held them in and murdered them in cold blood on the street in broad daylight. A well respected German newspaper has concluded that the "Free Syrian Army" are actually the ones who perpetrated the Houla Massacre in order to blame it on the Assad regime. Even Hillary Clinton admits that al Qaeda is working with the "Free Syrian Army" in Syria while a Council on Foreign Relations member writes that the "Free Syrian Army" is improved by the assistance of al Qaeda and they "need" their help.

The Syrian rebels would be immeasurably weaker today without al-Qaeda in their ranks. By and large, Free Syrian Army (FSA) battalions are tired, divided, chaotic, and ineffective. Feeling abandoned by the West, rebel forces are increasingly demoralized as they square off with the Assad regime's superior weaponry and professional army. Al-Qaeda fighters, however, may help improve morale. The influx of jihadis brings discipline, religious fervor, battle experience from Iraq, funding from Sunni sympathizers in the Gulf, and most importantly, deadly results. In short, the FSA needs al-Qaeda now. Ed Husain

German intelligence agencies have determined that al Qaeda operating in Syria is interconnected with the "Free Syrian Army" and responsible for over 90 acts of overt terrorism in that country.

"German intelligence estimates that "around 90″ terror attacks that "can be attributed to organizations that are close to al-Qaeda or jihadist groups" Asian Times

To claim that the FSA and al Qaeda are not part and parcel of the same NATO destabilization campaign is ludicrous. It is well recognized by outside intellegence agencies, our own CFR, as well as the head of the U.S. State Department.
They are in essence, one and the same in the battle field that is Syria.
So how is it that the Obama administration which claims they are giving you the right to pay for weapons in Syria, now also wants to put you in prison for life without a trial if they claim you support al Qaeda or "militants associated with al Qaeda"?

Federal prosecutors on Monday appealed a U.S. judge's order barring enforcement of part of a law that permits indefinite military detention for those deemed to have "substantially supported" al Qaeda, the Taliban or "associated forces."
Manhattan federal court Judge Katherine Forrest in May ruled in favor of activists and reporters who said they feared being detained under a section of the law, signed by President Barack Obama in December.
The government says indefinite military detention without trial is justified in some cases involving militants and their supporters. Huffington Post

This is patently insane. On one hand they give you free reign to send weapons to their proxy fighters destabilizing Syria and on the other they claim they have the unconstitutional right to use the military to detain you forever if you dare to support "the terrorists" like al Qaeda of the Taliban (who, by the way, offered to give bin Laden to Bush if he provided proof that bin Laden did 9/11. Bush never replied)
At the HuppPo site, based on the trial transcripts, they detail the kinds of things the administration believes you can be illegally indefinitely detained for doing:

1. interview a member of the Taliban
   
2. attend a fund raiser
   
3. write a book that simply states you support the Taliban's political agenda
   
4. organizing a demonstration
   
5. help out a friend who needs cash to get home from abroad
   
6. provide al Qaeda or their affiliated "militants" weapons (exactly what the Obama administration is urging people to do)
   
7. plan a terrorist attack
   

As far as shear audacity for pushing the left cover threshold, this takes the cake. Talk about talking out of both sides of your mouth. You can fund all the terrorist in the world as long as they are the terrorists we are using to destabilize a free country by killing innocent women and children EVEN to the point of funding al Qaeda and their related militants, the people who brought you Sept. 11th 2001.
Simply remarkable.
