Obama -- The Judas Goat
by Lawrence Auster 25 Jan '09

25 Jan '09

Obama -- The Judas Goat 1/25/2009 By David Duke Judas Goat\ A goat that leads other goats or sheep to slaughter. Also, one who entices into danger and betrays others. The name is an allusion to Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of slaughter. (From Merriam Webster�s Dictionary) Barack Hussein Obama is a Judas Goat. Extremist Jews guided Barack Hussein Obama�s career from day one, even all the way back to Harvard Law School. Radical Zionist hitman, David Axelrod previously orchestrated the Jewish-financed and organized defeat of perceived anti-Zionist Sen. Charles Percy. He is the man who ran Obama�s campaign for President and who is his chief handler. Obama�s campaign was overwhelmingly financed by the most powerful Zionist bankers in the world. His campaign�s largest contribution source was the Zionist international banking firm of Goldman Sachs. (FEC campaign records). In both Obama�s Senate and Presidential campaign he prostrated himself before AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) promising even more money and blood for Israel�s terrorism than even the supine John McCain, and even more money and blood than the previous Shabbez Goy in the White House, George Bush. Before the Israeli terrorism and mass murder in Gaza, he went to Israel and said that he supported Israel�s planned murderous terrorism against the men, women and children of Gaza. His first act as President-elect was to appoint a rabid Zionist, Israeli dual citizen who served in the Israeli Army as his Chief of Staff, Rahm Emmanuel. As thousands of women and children in Gaza were killed or maimed, Obama remained silent. Within a few days as President Obama supported indiscriminate American missile strikes in villages of our ally Pakistan, a clear continuation of Bush�s policies. He completely supports the theft of trillions of American taxpayer dollars to the Zionist international bankers. Eighty percent of American Jews voted for Obama, and all the main leaders of the Jewish Supremacist state of Israel have proclaimed Obama as the perfect man for U.S. President. What better for the Zionists to have their own servant perceived as a clean break from the Jewish extremist-controlled Bush administration? What better than for the Zionists than to have their Shabbez Goy be treated by the world�s press and even by much of the anti-Zionist community as a man of �real change?� What better for the Zionists than for the world to think that Obama will be a change from the Zionist-controlled policies when he willing to do anything that Israel demands? What better for the Zionist murderers to have their craven puppet be looked at by the whole world as a man of honor and integrity and fairness. In the slaughterhouse, the Judas Goat is often painted with bright colors, adorned with strong, sweet scents to lure the sheep to their pens and to their death. Obama, the Judas Goat of our time, is looked upon by millions of Zionist-propagandized sheep as the man who will lead them to salvation. Instead, he leads America, Palestine and the world to the bloody altar of Jewish Supremacism. Any supposed anti-Zionist who praises Barack Obama is actually aiding this Judas Goat to lead us all to slaughter. Every person who truly opposes Jewish extremism must speak out and expose the Judas Goat named Barack Obama! -- Dr. David Duke Former Member of the House of Representatives State of Louisiana United States of America It is up to you the people of the United States who can still think freely, and up to all of the people of the world who are able to see through the deceptions of the Zionist-influenced Global media -- to get this simple, powerful message to everyone on earth. Email this message to your friends, post it on forums and websites and put links to it on every website, facebook or other media in the world. Go and seek out media and Internet sites not controlled by Zionist power. Make youtube videos of this message, (use the short audio and find good illustrative pictures) and post it untill your fingers are worn and tired, print it and mail it to newspapers or any media outlet that has still not fallen under the propaganda of the Zionists. Let the world know the truth. Person by person, in the USA, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy, japan, Russia, China, Africa, Palestine, South America and across the whole world this Judas Goat must be exposed for what he is, so that when begins to do his evil for Israel, the whole world will know exactly what is going on and resist! Source : http://www.davidduke.com/general/obama-the-judas-goat_7317.html ------------------------ Why is the President of Israel, the terrorist who just oversaw the Zionist mass murder and maiming of thousands of Palestinians so happy that Obama is President of the USA? by David Duke Read the excerpt from the Israeli News about how President Perez and Israel think that Obama�s becoming U.S. President is great day for Israel. "Israel�s President Shimon Peres ecstatic over the election of Obama" Ronen Medzini Israel News Jan. 21 �Today is a great day not only for the United States of America, but for the entire world,� President Shimon Peres wrote in a letter addressed to Barack Obama on the day of his inauguration as president of the United States. �Obama was elected by the United States, but as a matter of fact, he was chosen by the whole of humankind,� Why is Peres so ecstatic? Why shouldn�t he be, he knows that Obama is completely in the grip of the extremist Jewish Zionists in America, and he knows that the greater Obama�s popularity and idol worship, the more Obama can do for the International Zionist Cause. Any thinking and caring human being who realizes that the Zionist-controlled American foreign policy has been a disaster for the robbed and murdered people of Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq and a catastrophe for the 50,000 American wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as an economic catastrophe for the hardworking Americans who pay trillions to finance these wars for Israel -- must wake up the fact that supporting Obama and increasing his popularity will only aid Zionist terrorism, war, and their murder and oppression of the Palestinians. It will also hasten the economic suffering of billions of people around the world as his popularity enables him to more easily aid the Zionist International Bankers steal the wealth of the United States, Europe and the world. Obama is totally in the bloodstained and green ink- stained hands of the Zionists. The hard truth is that the more good will and support Obama has also gives more power to support the Zionist agenda! Mark my words. The Obama Presidency will be disaster for America and for the world. Obama was put into office by the Zionists. His top two cohorts for years have been the radical Jews David Axelrod and Rahm Emmanuel. Both have long records of radical Zionism and have been attack dogs against anyone perceived as having the slightest opposition to Israel. One such victim was Sen. Charles Percy, who both men worked to defeat and destroy because he dared to only be 99 percent rather than 100 percent pro-Israel. Rahm Emmanuel, a dual citizen of Israel who went to fight for Israel, he has a long pedigree of Jewish extremism. His father served in the Irgun Terrorist Gang and he himself is named after an Irgun terrorist. Zionist leaders in Chicago actually call Obama �the first Jewish President� and boast that Jews were key players in Obama�s every step up the ladder to President. from the very earliest days, extremist Jews were the largest contributors to his campaign. In the beginning of his Presidential bid, three Hollywood Jews that constantly make movies about Jewish suffering, but never about the Zionist terrorism and theft against the Palestinian people, Steven Spielberg, David Geffen, and Jeffrey Katzenberg raised 1.2 million for Obama in a single Hollywood party. By the time Obama�s campaign was in full swing, he had huge support from the criminal Zionist International Banking firms such as Goldman Sachs and Lehman brothers. Goldman Sachs was Obama�s biggest single contributor, and his vast war chest came not from American manufacturing firms like GM or even American oil companies, (not one was in his top twenty) it was overwhelmingly dominated by Zionist international bankers, the same ones whose thievery and fraud are giving the world this economic depression. For those looking for meaningful social and political change, do you really think it will come from this man who has already been bought heart, head and soul by the most powerful czars of the international financial establishment and the biggest globalists in the world? I know that many are desperate for change, so desperate that you want to believe anything. But in the face of these facts can�t you see that Obama will be even more dangerous to freedom and justice than even George Bush and his band of Neocons were. What better way to wipe out George Bush�s hated legacy and make the world believe that America has really changed than with the election of Obama. But, all the real Zionist power, Zionist media power, and Zionist financial power in America is still in place, even stronger than ever. Many Americans and others around the world who want to do good are now telling us how wonderful Obama will be as president. What a great change it will be from the old policies. This is because of the Zionist-Controlled media hype, promoting Obama. The fact is that these poor sods are ignorantly helping the radical Zionist agenda in Israel and around the world. Every day that you don�t help expose Obama for the Zionist servant that he actually is, his popularity will be a greater danger to peace and freedom. If the Zionist terrorist Shimon Perez is happy about the coronation of Obama, then why in the hell should you be? �David Duke Source : http://www.davidduke.com/general/7303_7303.html ------------------------------------- You or someone using your email adress is currently subscribed to the Lawrence Auster Newletter.

Morph import corrupted
by Mark Carter 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

I'm new to smalltalk and squeak - and I must say, it seems capable of doing some pretty amazing stuff. I started playing with morphs today. I created a Stack (which I called BlogStack), which has a TextBody (actually a scrolling text morph) and a button. The button activates the following script when I mouseUp on the button: printBody | | TextBody setCharacters: 'Enter text here' . ^ self OK, printBody is a bad name, but let's not worry about that. The basic idea is that you press the button, and it replaces the TextBody text with 'Enter text here'. So far, everything works as I expect. Now, I saved my stack morph from one image, and I wanted to see if I could load it in another. It loaded OK, but when I pressed my button, it complained: 'From Squeak3.9 of 7 November 2006 [latest update: #7067] on 18 January 2009 at 4:19:06 pm'! !Object methodsFor: 'error handling' stamp: 'md 2/22/2006 21:21'! doesNotUnderstand: aMessage "Handle the fact that there was an attempt to send the given message to the receiver but the receiver does not understand this message (typically sent from the machine when a message is sent to the receiver and no method is defined for that selector)." "Testing: (3 activeProcess)" MessageNotUnderstood new message: aMessage; receiver: self; signal. ^ aMessage sentTo: self. ! ! I am using Squeak 3.9 update #7067 for both the imported and exported morph. Curiously, if I open up the viewer on TextBody, I can toggle through most of its categories (basic, scripts, and so on), but it throws an exception if I try to go to 'colour & border' or 'text'. What's going on? Is it a bug? Should I expect morphs to work across images? What about if I upgrade squeak - what's the chance that I'll still be able to load my morphs? Also, is there any way that I can create a class, or gain access to, BlogStack, say by doing something like: b := BlogStack . Would you advocate actually creating GUIs programmatically? It seems a safer bet, although rather more tedious.

Re: Morph import corrupted
by Jerome Peace 19 Jan '09

[Newbies] Morph import corrupted Hi Mark, Hi David, This doesn't look like a squeak bug. Mark, squeak and morphic can do some pretty remarkable things. You need to approach this as a foreigner in a new country. The best way to get the natives to do what you want is to learn the language they use to do it. (By natives I am talking about the objects in squeak, morphs included and in particular.) The alternative is to invent new language as you go along. Which is the fun part. What you ran into is that saving a morph does not save the extra language you made. So squeak was noisily trying to tell you it no longer understood what you thought you were saying. The cure can be twofold. When I am developing in squeak I end my sessions by saving the project to disk and when asked say yes to saving the change set associated with the project. This will save all the morphs I have in the project and all the new and modified language that I created. This will load into any image that is close to what you started with. The other ways to save the language is to go to the class, or method you want to save, get a menu for it and request 'file out'. That will save as little as one method. By selecting the category the method is in you can save a bunch of methods. By selecting the class all of the methods connected with that class. The other thing you can do is save all of the methods associated with your project. The tool to do that is the dual change sorter. There is a single change sorter but the dual sorter has the very useful feature of allowing you to copy or move the methods of interest in and out of any change set. Again the file out menu command will save everything in the change set. This is usually what you want to bring to a new image. It is exactly what code you saved when you saved the project. The advantage of saving the change set separately is that it will travel better into foreign lands than the whole project. The other thing the change set allows you to do is to write a preamble. I use this all the time to comment the code. So the forgetful me who reads it a month from now will remember. The second fold of the cure is to be humble and to learn the native language from the natives. This is not as easy as going of and making your own. It is very important. Squeak will do thing in ways that will surprise you. And if you go about finding the reusable code first you will build up a useful set of ideas. You will be able to talk to the natives (objects) like one of their own. :-) A good place to start is the World menu Objects tool. These contain different morphic widgets. Grab one out. Halo click on it and select the monkey wrench handle. This gives a list of interesting ways to explore the morph. The object explorer is one of the most useful for looking at the morph itself. An object inspector gives a better ability to modify the object on the fly. The other useful thing to do is ask to browse the morph class. This gets a code browser that allows you to see all the methods defined in the class. I could go on but I'd better stop before I write a small book in the email. >From your note I suggest you look in the collection classes. In particular, OrderedCollection can act as a stack for most purposes #addLast and #removeLast replacing push and pop. The other thing to look at is any morph that looks like it already does something close to what you want. That's usually a good starting point for discovering how to do things in the native tongue. Hth, Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace ======Previously: Dave and Mark wrote: David Mitchell david.mitchell at gmail.com Sun Jan 18 18:42:24 UTC 2009 I don't use Morphic scripting, but I've played around with it. That section of Squeak is eToys and the Squeakland distribution is the primary team supporting eToys. Not that your question isn't OK here, but you may find more experts there. I don't know if loading/saving morphs is supported by anyone in the base distribution.

What's going on? Is it a bug? > Ok. That seems odd. It isn't possible to say whats happening w/o more informaitin. You need to explain in detail how to recreate the problem. My guess is that it is because TextBody is not a normal morph and is using language you have not taught the current image. Of course it could always be a bug for another reason. Hard to know. > Should I expect morphs to work across images? What about if I upgrade > squeak - what's the chance that I'll still be able to load my morphs? Reasonable. Assuming you load the special language for your morph into the image. See above. Sometimes it will be necessary to update or modify things. Making things in squeak is a little like making sandcastles on a beach. You can always choose to selectively upgrade the image you have to remain compatible. The release process for this branch of squeak is not steady or too predictably. We rely on willing members of the community. It is a lot of work. The releasers catch all the flax of those who wish things had been done differently. The result is a high turn over amoung release teams and sharp shifts in goals and focus. The excitement is that squeak is a good place to innovate. The Seaside folks know that. And if you are willing to roll up you sleaves squeak can be made to do amazing things in short periods of time. What is is not good at is giving highly polished results. > Also, is there any way that I can create a class, or gain access to, > BlogStack, say by doing something like: > b := BlogStack . If you do that in a workspace it should work. If BlogStock is the name of a class you probably need to do something like b := BlogStock new. That creates and instance of the class Blogstock. then sending messages to b are the same as sending them to the instance. Browse BlogStock and look at the creation method on its class side. Look also at the methods it inherits from its superclasses. > Would you advocate actually creating GUIs programmatically?

[Newbies] Passing methods to buttons Hi Filip, Try this, In a fresh squeak 3.9 or later Open the world menu Select objects. (you will get a tray of objects.) Poke around in the catagories till you can pull out a pasteup morph and some buttons. Put the buttons in the paste up morph. You now have a container with three buttons. Now put the mouse over one of the buttons. Halo click (push the button on the mouse that brings up the halos. or press Cmd and click the mouse if you only have one button.) Select the red handle it will give you a menu for that button. Make the menu stay up. At the bottom of the menu you will see items that allow you to set the action selector. Pick that then type in the selector you want. #delete would be sort of final so it would be best to pick something kind. #flash is showy but harmless. So use that first. Then select sight target. You will get a target sight cursor. move it over to one of the other buttons an press. you will get a list of morphs. the button you are over and the paste up morph it is on will be part of the options. Select one. Now press the first button and observe what happens. Try setting a different target. Press again. Observe again. You can call up inspectors and explorers on the buttons to look inside. Explorers allow you to follow objects relationships all over the place. Inspectors allow you to change and objects parameters like its action selector. You can also browse code. A good way to learn the answer to your question below is to find something that does what you are trying and look at its code. The ability of Squeak to teach is limited only by your willingness to play. You are trying to understand by reading and talking to those of us who have played. Stop. Play first, then ask questions. Squeak itself has all the answers. In general, if you are trying to do something in squeak and it seems hard you are missing something. Try learning Squeak by playing with it. You will learn how to code things much more easily afterwards.

Passing methods to buttons
by Filip Malczak 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

While trying to understand SnakeGame I found interesting thing, but Im not sure how does it exactly work. Does ButtonMorph #actionSelector: aSymbol gives a method to do when red-clicking? I mean: SimpleButtonMorph new label: 'Label'; color: Color lightGray; borderColor: #raised; borderWidth: 2; actionSelector: #delete; target: self); will after clicking send message #delete to self? So when e.g. I give actionSelector: #openWindow; target: SuperMorph , I mean that after clicking this message openWindow will be sent to SuperMorph? (I give just an example, not real code) So what about blue and yellow buttons? How to handle them from code-level? I understand that I must have #aSymbol, #delete or #openWindow declared. But for what class? This, in which method I use upper code (when I create SimpleButton) or targets class? Propably I got it all wrong, so if anyone can explain me how to create button and give a special action for clicking (any button, not only red) from code level, I'd be VERY pleased. -- Greeting Filip GG: 2486889 mail: filet00(a)gmail.com
