"Inconsistent With Our Values"

January 16, 2012

There has been quite a bit of noise surrounding the U.S. Marines urinating-on-Taliban-corpses story. Most of the noise has been of the polite disapproval type. You know, 'I support our soldiers killing the terrorists over there, but those brave boys shouldn't be making videos of themselves desecrating dead bodies….that's just not right.' The typical "condemnations" [...]

Obama Punches Neo-Confederacy Leaders

January 5, 2012

In July of 2010 President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The bill passed the House 237-192 in June, 2010…and the Senate passed the bill 60-39 in July, 2010. Dodd-Frank was passed in response to the financial sector collapse that began in 2007. The bill's goal…. To promote [...]

Sympathy For Devils

December 15, 2011

In 1971, President Richard Nixon ordered his White House thugs to go after Daniel Ellsberg for making public the Pentagon Papers. The Papers were quite an embarrassment to Nixon's White House. Nixon responded by beginning a campaign "against further leaks and against Ellsberg personally." Part of that campaign we know now as the Watergate burglary. [...]

The Israelification Of America

December 5, 2011

According to the U.S. Senate in a vote of 93-7….the U.S. president has the power to declare any U.S. citizen an "enemy of the state", order the indefinite detention of that U.S. citizen, order the assassination of that U.S. citizen, or place that U.S. citizen in Guantanamo to never be heard from again. All of [...]

Gitmo Now For U.S. Citizens

December 2, 2011

Agreement between congressional Republicans and Democrats, authentic bipartisanship, is rarely witnessed today. But there is one part of U.S. policy where the D's and the R's completely agree. Endless war and indefinite detention…even of U.S citizens. Yesterday the Senate passed a $662 billion defense bill 93-7. Nothing passes the Senate by such a wide margin [...]

Keeping The Press Safe

November 25, 2011

It should be transparent to anyone who has been paying attention….but I'll say it anyway…. the United States is descending further into an authoritarian militarized country which features separate and distinct forms of justice for the haves…and the have-nots. The haves….have unfettered and unquestioned rights. Their money is, in actuality, free speech. Their corporations pay [...]

We're All Neo-Cons Now

October 14, 2011

President Obama's biggest disappointment, at least to progressives, has been his, I guess, "rebirth", as a neo-conservative. During Obama's campaign for the presidency, he made political hay out of George and Dick's offshore gulags, torture of detainees, unprovoked military attacks and occupations of countries posing no threat to America, eavesdropping on Americans without warrants, secrecy, [...]

What 4th Amendment?

May 17, 2011

I was interested in my blog bud's recent post chastising Indiana Supreme Court members for ruling that citizens in Indiana "have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes." In a 3-2 decision, Justice Steven David writing for the court said if a police officer wants to enter a home for any reason [...]

Holder Announces U.S. Surrender

April 5, 2011

After almost 10 years of battling a stubborn grassroots insurgency financed by shadowy anonymous donors here at home, a somber U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced yesterday that the United States of America would surrender it's rule of law, effective immediately, and await further orders from the insurgency's leadership. The announcement was not unexpected. In [...]

Who Are The Libyan Rebels?

March 31, 2011

What's in a name, right? Terrorists, insurgents, rabble-rousers, freedom fighters…..how about let's call them…rebels. Yeah, that's it. And so it was in the Village. Americans have not one clue who these Libyan "rebels" are, what they stand for, what they will do if Qaddafi is overthrown, how they regard the U.S. and the West, how [...]
