In 2008 The LA Times withheld a video that contained footage of Barack Obama celebrating with a group of Palestinians whttp://radiopatriot.wordpress.com/2011/06/12/they-dont-even-hide-it/ho were openly hostile towards Israel. Barack Obama reportedly even gave a toast to a former PLO operative, Rashid Khalidi, at this celebration. This was something the LA Times hid from the American public before the election. The media refused to release the video.

Terrorist Bill Ayers, Barack Obama and his good friend Jew-hater Rashid Khalidi
There were also reports that terrorists Bill Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn were at the same Jew-bash.
Khalidi was thought to be connected to the PLO.
Fast forward to this week—
The Los Angeles Times released 24,000 Sarah Palin emails today.

More… Legal Insurrection added this: CBS News is leading the charge, but it will not release the full content of Obama’s donor conversation caught on an open microphone.

Here is the article that triggered the LA Times cover up.
http://articles.latimes.com/2008/apr/10/nation/na-obamamideast10
The LA Times claims they can’t “share the video” because they promised not to in exchange for access to the tape. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/middleeast/la-na-video30-2008oct30,0,7519467.story
The tape led the writer to this line in his article ” And yet the warm embrace Obama gave to Khalidi, and words like those at the professor’s going-away party, have left some Palestinian American leaders believing that Obama is more receptive to their viewpoint than he is willing to say”
Even if the LA Times is to be believed, there is nothing to stop release of a full transcription and written analysis, minute by minute, of the Video Tape. The LA Times is being too clever by half. There are probably very few if any unreleased videos more newsworthy than this, and the LA Times owes it to every reader to provide a verified transcript of the Tape!

Someone out there needs to subpoena the tape and force the opening of Barry’s sealed records.
In the meantime, an investigation into Barry’s illegal foreign campaign contributions, many from Gaza, needs to be carried out.

Osama bin Laden’s death as a lever for US-Muslim reconciliation

When Barack Obama followed the second Bush into the White House in January 2009, his mind was fixed on three overriding ambitions: He determined to show Americans and the world that war was not the only way to solve international conflicts and promote American interests; multilateral diplomacy must take the place of armed conflict. Another was to achieve a historic US-Muslim reconciliation alongside the demise of radical Islamic terror, first and foremost al Qaeda’s war on America.
Unlike Clinton and Bush, Obama decided that eliminating Osama bin Laden would serve his goals, provided he could make it the lever for his outreach to the Muslim world. But like Clinton, he made a permanent Israel-Palestinian a cornerstone of his policy.
Two months ago, on March 6, the Washington Post offered a pointer to President Obama’s overall vision:
“The roots of the (US) policy shift (in the Middle East) go back to Obama’s first days in office and his feeling that America’s relationship with the Arab world was broken,” the WP reported. “Though Obama seemed to be accommodating the region’s authoritarian leaders, in August 2010, he issued Presidential Study Directive 11, asking agencies to prepare for change. This document cited ‘evidence of growing citizen discontent with the region’s regimes’ and warned that ‘the region is entering a critical period of transition.’
The president asked his advisers to ‘manage these risks by demonstrating to the people of the Middle East and North Africa the gradual but real prospect of greater political openness and improved governance.'”
This was an astonishing public admission, which was first cited by DEBKA-Net-Weekly in Issue 485 of March 18 (Obama’s New Mid East Strategy Stalls). It implied that Washington was steering the Arab revolt, or ‘Arab spring’, through Obama’s Presidential Study Directive 11.

Presidential Study Directive 11 gets going

Our Washington sources note that when, early Monday morning, May 2,Obama announced Bin Laden’s death, he spoke of the first lead to his whereabouts (in the Abbottabad villa) reaching him last August:
“Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to Bin Laden,” he said – although Wednesday, May 4, the Pakistanis said Washington was informed of this intelligence with low intensity as early as the beginning of 2009 and with greater intensity starting from September 2010.
What is important to note here is that August was month that Directive No. 11 was issued and therefore a watershed date for President Obama.
Bin Laden’s death like the Arab Spring were not ends in themselves, but steps towards the objective on which the US president has set his sights.
Our Middle East sources report that this objective, word of which has begun circulating around intelligence circles in the region, has been brought to the notice of the Saudi royal family, the military junta in Cairo, the presidential palace in Damascus and the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem: President Obama’s ultimate goal is to confer on the Muslim Brotherhood the legitimacy to assume power.
After Osama bin Laden’s elimination, Obama is raring to go forward to fulfill the vision outlined in his Study Directive 11 and raise the Brotherhood to power-sharing status as a force for Islamic moderation able to counteract Al Qaeda-type radicalism.
Middle East sources find evidence of the US president’s impatience in the Palestinian unity pact Mahmoud Abbas for Fatah and Khaled Meshaal for Hamas signed in Cairo on May 4 for ending their four-year Palestinian feud. This pact consummated a key component of the Obama master plan.

Separating the extremists from the moderates

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu condemned the pact as “a mortal blow to peace and a victory for terror.” In private conversation in Cairo, our sources quote Abbas asking his Egyptian hosts rhetorically: Why are the Israelis complaining to me – they should complain to Obama. Hamas is an offshoot of the Egyptian and Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood branches. “I am only acting out his guidelines by helping the Brotherhood’s integration in Middle East governance.”
In Syria, President Bashar Assad is not just fighting a popular uprising against his repressive regime; he is desperate to crush the Muslim Brotherhood which would rise in the wake of the opposition’s victory and wreak its revenge for the slaughter his father President Hafez Assad inflicted on its members in Hama 39 years ago.
(See the separate item in this issue on the conflict in Syria.)
While Presidents Bush and Clinton declined to incorporate the al Qaeda leader’s demise in their active policies, for Obama it was of pivotal importance. He was also keen to show American soldiers performing the deed.
Obama was sending out a signal that Muslim pragmatists and extremists would be treated very differently by his administration: While the former would be encouraged, any radical circles in the Muslim Brotherhood trying to move into the positions of power his policy had carved out for their movement would receive short shrift – witness, Osama bin Laden’s fate.
More than one Middle East ruler is disquieted by what is seen by some as a dangerous bee in the American president’s bonnet, fearing he may not realize that by putting his hand in the Muslim world, he is playing with fire. http://www.debka.com/weekly/trial/

9 MINUTES JOHN GIBSON, BRET BAER – Obama on Rashid Khalidi about 4:50-ish-5:09
AND MORE – Oct 16, 2008

Barack Obama is truly awe inspiring – in his ability to shift his political positions. He has tried to be all things to all people; more than any politician has ever had the chutzpah to try before! But, if you think this guy is going to end up as a friend of Jews or of Israel… well, let’s just say I wish I had your powers of imagination. Have the guts to watch this video – whether you’re Jewish or not – and then tell me if you still have the ability to believe such a thing.
