POPSKemenangan Obama Ciptakan Rekor Baru di Seluruh Penjuru Web
"Kami percaya bahwa informasi yang dikomunikasikan 'Net Usage Index for News' merupakan alat pengukur yang penting untuk menunjukkan peran internet pada kehidupan kita sehari-hari. Hari pemilihan presiden kemarin menunjukan penetrasi global trafik web terbesar sepanjang sejarah yang pernah kami lihat sejak meluncurkan indeks pada Agustus 2005. Kami berharap tingkat trafik internet akan terus meningkat mengikuti peristiwa bersejarah kemarin," menurut juru bicara Akamai. Sementara itu, CNN.com juga memecahkan rekor trafik baru. "Pada hari pemilihan presiden, CNN.com menarik lebih dari 27 juta pengunjung unik — tertinggi sepanjang sejarah situs tersebut. Terlebih lagi, siaran langsung CNN.com memecahkan rekor sebelumnya dengan menyediakan 4,9 juta video stream, hampir tiga kali lipat dari rekor trafik sebvelumnya. CNN juga mendapatkan 276 juta page view dan menayangkan 6,7 juta video stream on demand pada tanggal 4 November kemarin", menurut juru bicara CNN. Rekor trafik internet ba

POPSObama Lebih Merugikan Dunia Islam Cara yang digunakan McCain lebih menguntungkan dunia Islam, karena aksi terang-terangan biasanya akan membangkitkan kekuatan umat Islam yang terpendam. Karena umat Islam menyadari mengalami bahaya, sehingga mampu mengantisipasi dan mengurangi kerugian. Sedangkan Demokrat akan menjalankan kebijakan yang sama, tapi secara halus, sehingga umat Islam akan terus dirugikan dan tidak mampu memiliki alasan kuat untuk menghadapi kerugian tersebut. Di sisi lain, Obama akan tampil lebih loyal terhadap Israel. Misalnya, Obama tidak pernah menutup-nutupi dukungannya terhadap Israel. Ia berjanji akan menambah dukungan terhadap Israel sebesar 30 milyar dollar. Pada konferensi tahunan American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Obama berjanji akan menjadikan Yerusalem (Al-Quds) sebagai ibukota Israel tanpa bisa diganggu-gugat. Obama juga mengatakan, "Israel adalah mukjizat bagi Timur Tengah." Selain itu, loyalitas Obama terhadap Israel tampak pada dukungannya terhadap penyerangan Suriah, deng

POPS Why I'm Voting For Barack Obama It’s time we all reached down deep, some maybe deeper than than others, to Save the Children. It’s Obama as the Sally Struthers of our national conscience. It’s more than that. He’s the guy on our big national speedboat with lots of babes in bikinis. What are you waiting for? He’s got the secret to attaining universal health care and wealth equity, you just have to buy his tape. America can have killer abs, without all that sweating and going to the gym and kicking down third-world mudhut doors. It is that easy. Return it in four years, no obligation, if not fully satisfied. And that’s why I’ve decided to announce that I’m voting for Obama.* * That’s what I’ll be telling pollsters, the national media and everyone I know, anyway. What I do in the polling booth is my own damn business. Look, the leadership of the free world and all that is really important, but the last thing I want is anyone to think I’m a racist. Or even worse, not cool.**

POPSNew rights for terror detainees as deeply split Supreme Court rules It isn't hard to figure out why the right wingers are all in an uproar over this--you see it gives rights to human beings that aren't Amerikans and that's unthinkable because if we actually see our "enemies" (anyone not Amerikan or kissing our leader's butt) as HUMAN BEINGS and not just some vile brown monkeys like we're supposed to. How sad is that? What has Amerika become? Are we so vile as to deny basic rights to everyone not born here? And when theyu are given the barest of rights--not freedom, juist a chance at Justice--The bile that comes from the Right wing, from Scalia to Giuliani to Limbaugh is so odious, I may gag.

POPSJiddisch - Wiederbelebung einer Sprache, die nie tot war Jidisch ist das jiddische Wort für »jüdisch« und stammt aus dem mittelhochdeutschen judesch, das letztlich »judäisch« bedeutet (siehe jid). Im Deutschen ist das Wort jiddisch erst auf dem Umweg über Amerika populär geworden: Bis zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts hieß das Jiddische in Deutschland offiziell Juden-Deutsch. jiddisch.org Mehr als 10 Millionen Menschen sprachen vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg Jiddisch als Muttersprache. Von den sechs Millionen ermordeten Juden sprach die große Mehrheit Jiddisch. Die Nationalsozialisten haben nicht nur die Menschen, sondern mit ihnen auch die Sprache fast vollkommen ausgelöscht. Die Wiederbelebung des Jiddischen nach 1945 war schwierig, aus den unterschiedlichsten Gründen. Heute gibt es nicht nur in Israel, sondern auch in Europa ein neues Interesse an der Sprache. hagalil.org

POPSFreedom House: Wie frei sind die USA wirklich? Beim Kampf für Demokratie und Menschenrechte vergessen die USA ihre Probleme im eigenen Land. Das meint die Demokratieorganisation Freedom House. Die Häftlingsrate ist zehnmal so hoch wie in Westeuropa und mehr als 2000 Kinder sitzen lebenslänglich im Gefängnis. Zu den Demokratiedefiziten gehört nach Ansicht von Freedom House auch die Todesstrafe, die in den meisten anderen Demokratien längst abgeschafft ist. In den Vereinigten Staaten sitzen 3000 Menschen in der Todeszelle. Aber trotz aller Defizite ist Freedom House überzeugt, dass die Vereinigten Staaten ein freies Land mit starken Selbstkorrekturmechanismen bleiben. Schließlich würden die meisten Skandale irgendwann von der Presse aufgedeckt, Fehlentscheidungen der Regierung von Gerichten oder vom Kongress korrigiert. "Freiheit ist in Amerika ein seit über 200 Jahren andauernder Prozess", sagt Stuart Eizenstat.

POPSWhat Would Reverend Jeremiah Wright Do? In an emotional testimony he tells the world how, as he was watching YouTube clips of the Reverend, a voice said "Follow this man." He then made his hajj to Chicago, joining Rev. Wright's congregation. Everyone is acepted under Jeremiah Wright's large tent as long as they accept a few simple dogmas and agree to repeat them five times a day during prayers: * Being White is immoral. Every White person is guilty of conspiring against the Blacks * Being rich is immoral. Every rich person is guilty of conspiring against the poor * America is the infamous product of conspiracy by rich White males to create the source of all evil. Later it turned even more evil under the rule of Zionist puppet masters. * Jesus was a homeless African-American male who fell victim to a conspiracy of the rich Whites against the poor Blacks that resulted in racial profiling, followed by torture and crucifiction * The 10 Commandments are optional.

POPS Former NSA Director: "By any measure the US has long used terrorism"
More Moreover, recently declassified documents show that in the 1960's, the American Joint Chiefs of Staff signed off on a plan to blow up AMERICAN airplanes (using an elaborate plan involving the switching of airplanes), and also to commit terrorist acts on American soil, and then to blame it on the Cubans in order to justify an invasion of Cuba. If you view no other links in this article, please read the following ABC news report; the official documents; and watch this interview with the former Washington Investigative Producer for ABC's World News Tonight with Peter Jennings (click link entitled "Joint Chiefs Guilty-Northwoods"). In addition, the FBI had penetrated the cell which carried out the 1993 world trade center bombing, but had -- at the last minute -- cancelled the plan to have its FBI infiltrator substitute fake power for real explosives, against the infiltrator's strong wishes (summary version is free; full version is pay-per-view).

POPSAmericanism: The good, the bad and the ugly The famous go-to-war-for “American way of life,” underlines America’s persistent claims of a monopoly on morality. What is it, this American morality? This righteousness? Is it our religious roots in the fable of the Puritan settlers, those super religious people who in their hardships were bigots, perhaps also practitioners of incest and racists soon morphing into dogmatic chauvinists who early-on labeled their dissidents and different-thinkers witches and demons. The same Americanism initiated then which today fosters the rights of the rich to become richer, the strong to trample the weak . Meanwhile, out in the empire, as long as it is distant, the Puritan legacy instills blindness to the use of cluster bombs from the stratosphere and hidden torture in places with foreign names like Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib . . . and while our neighbors in Haiti eat dirt, literally.

POPSINFRAGARD: FBI Deputizes Business for Martial Law Including "shoot to kill" during Martial Law. This is a direct copy of the KGB-citizen-business spy network, now in Amerika. Doing this increases both paranoia and super-patriot fantasy that is quick to mark people or groups as suspicious, especially dissenters of various sorts. Deputizing big business in particular means that "some are more equal than others" (Orwell, Animal Farm). "Membership has its privileges". "Protect the Homeland". Sieg Heil!
