Don't Tread On Me

June 30, 2010

Readers of this blog know that I have very little respect or admiration for America's corporate media. At the same time, I also realize that nothing is always black or always white. Fox News, for example, at times, does report some truth in with their non-stop advocacy for the Republican Party. Chris Matthews, of MSNBC's [...]

McChrystallized….But No Change

June 24, 2010

I read the entire Rolling Stones article about General Stan McChrystal on Tuesday. I knew after reading it that he would have to go. The attitude expressed by Gen. McChrystal and his closest officers was one of defiance towards the Obama White House and those working for the Obama White House on the Afghanistan quagmire. [...]

Loss of Life Not Tragic At All

June 6, 2010

It came as no surprise following the Israeli terror attack on the Turkish flotilla a week ago, which included the point-blank, 5 shot murder of a 19 year old American by Israeli commandos, that the United States President would timidly parse every word of his response to the act of violence. Why? Because in this [...]

Bizarre U.S. Behavior

June 4, 2010

The U.S. corporate media was noticeably muted yesterday about the Israeli terrorist raid on a Turkish humanitarian aid-carrying flotilla late Sunday. A raid in which Israeli soldiers murdered at least 9 unarmed passengers (at least one American) after having commandeered the flotilla, illegally, while it was in international waters. That's how the U.S. media and [...]

Obama Broadens "War on Terror"

From the NY Times….. The top American commander in the Middle East has ordered a broad expansion of clandestine military activity in an effort to disrupt militant groups or counter threats in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and other countries in the region, according to defense officials and military documents. The secret directive, signed in September [...]

Vote For Savagery

May 15, 2010

How the Great & Marvelous U.S. War of Choice has changed us….. Ilario Pantano won the Republican nomination in North Carolina’s 7th District, setting up a challenge to incumbent Democrat Rep. Mike McIntyre in November. In 2001, immediately following the 9/11 terror attacks, Pantano, a veteran who had previously fought in the Gulf War, left [...]

Obama Disappoints Again

May 10, 2010

Barack Obama's campaign theme as he ran for president was "change we can believe in." He delivered that message in a compelling fashion and tens of millions of Americans responded. After Obama was elected by a clear mandate from the American people, an incoherent, angry astroturf far right movement developed. The Tea Party was born. [...]

Triangulate These Guys

May 6, 2010

I'm very busy today….but tell me what you think of these…. First….Dick Cheney's old company, Halliburton, does oil rigging services. One of the services they provide is "pumping cement to fill the space between the pipe and the sides of the hole"….of an oil well. Four employees at the BP rig which exploded two weeks [...]

Does McCain Believe In America?

May 5, 2010

U.S. citizens, when arrested or detained, have the right to remain silent. They have the right to an attorney. Law enforcement cannot, legally, force an American citizen to tell them anything. That's the law…..has been for quite awhile. Why, then, do Great Warriors, like Senator John McCain…..call that American right, that American law…"a serious mistake?" [...]

Must See Teevee

April 6, 2010

I caught a piece of the Dylan Ratigan show yesterday afternoon on MSNBC. He played a classified-but-leaked video from Iraq taken in 2007. Kudos to Ratigan for having the testicular fortitude to air such a controversial video. The video was originally leaked to the website, Wikileaks.org. The video is disturbing. Fair warning and all that. [...]
