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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

Truth Is "Controversial Comment"

March 14, 2011

In December of last year I wrote about the torturing of U.S. Army private Bradley Manning. Held at that point for 7 months without a trial for allegedly stealing and leaking classified information, Manning had fallen victim to the "everything has changed since 9-11" American paradigm. Today, Manning is still being tortured just as he [...]

Conspiring For Criminals

December 3, 2010

In June of 2009 I blogged this…. There's no question now that Obama is pro-actively working to protect the Bush/Cheney criminal syndicate from any and all accountability. If Obama's administration continues down this path, and there's no reason to think otherwise, then Obama, himself, will be complicit in the obstruction of justice coverup of the [...]

Wagging That Dog

September 10, 2010

Embarassment isn't a sufficient enough word anymore…..doesn't quite capture the powerlessness one feels as one watches a nation disintegrate into a state of ignorant confusion. On 9-11, 19 extremist Muslims hijacked planes and crashed them into buildings killing almost 3000 U.S. citizens. We were told by the president at the time that those 19 attackers [...]

Gibbs Goes Winger

August 11, 2010

Robert Gibbs throws a Sarah Palin-like temper tantrum…. “I hear these people saying he’s like George Bush. Those people ought to be drug tested,” Gibbs said. “I mean, it’s crazy.” March 12, 2010, Blog of Mass Destruction: Different President, Same Lawlessness:"President Obama, despite his many campaign attacks on the "lawless" Bush-Cheney regime, has continued those [...]

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 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. [...]

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. [...]
