Why "They" Hate Us

October 19, 2009

Glenn Greenwald…
"One of the most astounding feats in propaganda is how we've managed to take people who live in a country which we invade, bomb and occupy — and who fight against us because we're doing that — and call them "Terrorists," thereby "justifying" continuing to bomb and occupy their country further."
That sentence may not [...]

Tea Partiers: The Incarnation of Dick Cheney

September 15, 2009

Updated below
Humans will lie about almost anything…..check that….Humans will lie about anything. I'm not sure whether the human habit of lying can be attributed to evolution or not. Perhaps we have been programmed over 15,000 years or so to deceive other humans for self-preservation purposes.
Whatever the reason…..dishonesty, lying, deception….have always been human traits.
In the 90's, [...]

Perception Of An Investigation

August 25, 2009

As the Obama administration continues to do everything it can to cover-up for Bush/Cheney-era crimes against the American people, we now learn that Eric Holder, Obama's Attorney General, has appointed Republican, John Durham, as a "special prosecutor" to investigate "alleged detainee mistreatment"….
Holder has named longtime prosecutor John H. Durham, who has parachuted into crisis situations [...]

Schrub, The Terrorist

August 21, 2009

Over the past number of years, whenever I suggested that George W. Bush was actually an American terrorist leader, I was quickly reprimanded by those Serious and Grown-up Conservatives who immediately sought to describe the former president as "protecting us from Islamofascists."
Now, former Bush Homeland Security head, Tom Ridge, in a new book, follows [...]

"Moral Leadership"

June 23, 2009

America has been involved in imperialistic-minded interference in other nation's governments and elections for as long as I can remember. It's what we do. And I suppose that helps in understanding why America's leading neo-conservatives, senators like Lindsey "Huckleberry" Graham (R-SC), John McCain (R-AZ) and Joe Lieberman (ASSH*LE-CT) have been calling for U.S. interference in [...]

Pride In The President, Part 2

June 7, 2009

Today I continue with Part 2 of my appraisal of President Obama's speech from Cairo, Egypt….
To those Muslims in Hamas, Hizbollah, al-Qaeda, or Iran,…Obama spoke honestly and directly about Israel…
Six million Jews were killed – more than the entire Jewish population of Israel today. Denying that fact is baseless, ignorant, and hateful. Threatening Israel with [...]

Pride In Our President, Part 1

June 6, 2009

The Obama speech from Cairo, Egypt…
The relationship between Islam and the West includes centuries of co-existence and cooperation, but also conflict and religious wars. More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies without [...]

Pelosi: The New WMD

May 16, 2009

As the country was being deceptively propagandized by the Bush administration during 2002 and early 2003, the focus of the propaganda boiled down to Saddam Hussein's alleged possession of dangerous weapons. WMD. The Bush administration pushed the WMD message repeatedly. Chemical and biological weapons……mobile weapons labs….smoking gun mushroom clouds…..nuclear program….it was a constant drumbeat.
But that [...]

Torture Places Doubt On 9-11 Commission Findings

May 14, 2009

Updated video below
Funny coincidence about what I'm going to blog about here. I started rereading portions of the 9-11 Commission Report a couple of weeks ago after I discovered the real reason why Bush/Cheney ordered torture. All this time, I thought these draft dodging faux cowboys were trying to create an illusion that they were, [...]

Bush/Cheney Worse Terrorists Than Bin Laden

May 13, 2009

Why Bush/Cheney chose to torture…..
The military agency that provided advice on harsh interrogation techniques for use against terrorism suspects referred to the application of extreme duress as "torture" in a July 2002 document sent to the Pentagon's chief lawyer and warned that it would produce "unreliable information."
What "unreliable information" did Bush/Cheney want produced?
"While we [...]
