Barack Obama 44th And First Black President Of United States Of America

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.”

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today.

Martin Luther King – I Have A Dream Speech – address at March on Washington August 28, 1963

 

 President Barack Obama & Family

“I’m asking you to believe. Not just in my ability to bring about real change in Washington…I’m asking you to believe in yours.”

 

Nothing happens before its time.

Not with Jesse Jackson in 1992.

Nor Al Sharpton in 2004.

One hundred & forty three years after the abolition of slavery in America and forty five years after Martin Luther famous ‘I Have A Dream’ speech, blacks worldwide whether glue to a tv, radio or internet, witnessed a historic moment when a not well known person two years ago, emerged and became not only the first African-America leader of a major political party but immortalized himself into history books today by becoming the first black man to win the highest office of a superpower in this modern era.

President elect Obama electrified Americans voters, frightened and frustrated with two unfinished wars and two recessions that change is possible on a ‘Change’ and ‘Yes We Can’ campaign. The electricity extended worldwide also for those dismayed with Bush foreign policies and even those who recognised the significance of such a historic moment in their lifetime.

Of course, let’s not forget Michelle Obama will be the first African-American first lady in the White House.

Change has certainly come.

Bombing Of Iran Imminent Part 2 – US Ready To STRIKE!

Translation: Attack On Iran Expect[ed Soon]

 

 

The biggest Newspaper in the Netherlands today devotes its front page to news that the Dutch intelligence agency has helped the CIA prepare for an air attack on Iran which it now believes is imminent.

AVID, Holland’s military intelligence service, has pulled back from operations it was carrying out inside Iran as it believes an American led attack will go ahead within weeks according to De Telegraaf’s sources.

The headline reads:

“AIVD is calling back spy because of US plans
ATTACK ON IRAN IMMINENT”

De Telegraaf reports that the decision has already been made by the U.S.
to attack Iran using unmanned aircraft. Potential targets are said to be nuclear facilities and military installations. The latter have been mapped by the CIA with the help of the Dutch secret service.

A portion of the article reads:

Good sources have declared to the Telegraaf that the AIVD has been operating in Iran for the last few years with the purpose of the infiltration and sabotage of the weapons industry of the Iranian republic.

The operations are said to have been “very successful” but have recently been put to a halt because of american plans for an air attack. Information regarding the AIVD operation has been shared with the CIA in recent years according to the sources.

Iran is probably working towards an atomic bomb and refuses to comply to western demands to stop enriching uranium. In june Israeli vice president Shaul Mofaz made the statement that an Israeli attack is inevitable if Iran continues its quest for atomic weapons.

Holland is a staunch ally of the U.S. government in the “war on terror”. Dutch troops have served on the front lines in both the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.

Pastor Confesses Porn Addiction

Pastor David Erik Jones remembers the morning he decided to reveal his pornography addiction to his church congregation at First Baptist Church in Jayton, Texas.  He knew there was a very good chance he would lose his job that day. But he also knew that his admission might bring others to face their own problems.  Either way, he was determined to tell the truth about his life.  

His congregation not only supported him, but encouraged him to continue to tell his story.  His new book entitled, My Struggle, Your Struggle: Breaking Free from Habitual Sin, details the beginnings of his battle with pornography that would find root in his childhood and follow him into marriage. 

 ”I felt that some of the members might not respect me or want me to continue as their pastor,” says Jones, “but I was willing to take that risk.  I talked about it with my family and they supported me all the way. I did believe there was a possibility that I could be asked to leave.  But I knew it was worth the risk, and I trusted God to take care of us either way.”

Cuban Refuses To Give Blogger Yoani Sanchez Visa To Collect Prize

Cuban authorities have refused to give a travel visa to Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez so she can receive one of Spain’s top journalism awards in Madrid on Wednesday, said Spanish newspaper El Pais which hands out the awards annually.

Last month the newspaper announced it has awarded 32-year-old philologist Yoani Sanchez, whose blog “Generacion Y” chronicles the woes daily problems citizens face, the Ortega y Gasset prize in Spain for digital journalism.

“We still don’t know if she will be able to come,” an El Pais official told

AFP, adding the island’s communist government was “complicating” her exit.

Sanchez has said her request for a travel visa is the “perfect test” to see if Cuba’s new President Raul Castro, who succeeded his ailing brother Fidel Castro

earlier this year, is serious about opening up the regime.El Pais praised Sanchez’s “vivacious” writing style and “shrewdness” in overcoming hurdles to freedom of expression in Cuba when it announced her prize.

The blog, hosted on a server in Germany, is Cuba’s most popular, receiving 1.2 million hits a month.

Since becoming president, Raul Castro has taken modest steps to improve living standards, including allowing Cubans to stay in tourist hotels, take out mobile phone contracts, and buy appliances such as computers, motorbikes.
