Misleading Us Into War….The Sequel

February 1, 2012

In 2002 when neo-cons within the U.S. military and inside the Bush White House worked hard to deceive Congress and the American people into cheering for an unprovoked attack against the non-threatening nation of Iraq, steady and repetitive neo-connish messaging cleared the pathway to aggressive war. Not only was Saddam Hussein's Iraq not a threat [...]

Why Iraq?

December 16, 2011

Many times I've heard Village spokespeople rhetorically ask…why did we go into Iraq? Why the Iraq war? These Village talking heads know the answer to that question, but in typical Village fashion, cannot explain it to the unwashed masses because then people like Bill Kristol, Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle and the [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

Savage Hatred

October 20, 2011

Recently, Israel did something America does not do….negotiated with people they consider to be "terrorists"….. Gilad Shalit, the Israeli sergeant who was held captive for five years by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, was released early this morning and handed over to Egyptian officals, reports said. While there was no immediate confirmation by Israeli officals, [...]

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, [...]

Why They Hate Us

September 1, 2011

I give credit to the Akron Beacon Journal for including this story in today's paper. With an all volunteer military and a compromised and corrupt national media, Americans don't often hear the truth about our numerous military adventures in foreign lands. I guess it's just easier that way. If Americans were kept informed about our [...]

Catfood Or Caliphate….

August 5, 2011

In an American era when what voters want has absolutely no meaning,…carries no weight whatsoever….almost anything can happen. Our overlords have just agreed to permit Congress to appoint a 12 member Patsy Committee to take the blame for cutting Social Security and Medicare. No new taxes, of course, will be considered……and no tax loophole closings [...]

Romney: Generals Decide

June 15, 2011

Following up on what I said yesterday about CNN's GOP presidential candidates' "debate"….. I guess it's official. Mitt Romney "emerges (as) an emboldened frontrunner from debate"….says PBS. CNN Politics announced, "Romney emerges as New Hampshire front-runner." "GOP debate solidifies Romney's frontrunner status" claims US News. I'm sure that Mitt Romney is a nice man and [...]

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 [...]
