"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" [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

Pre-empting The Propaganda

May 3, 2011

One of the ugliest features of Ameria's ridiculously named "war on terror" launched during the Bush administration was our nation's acceptance of torture. Torturing humans whom you have under your control is immoral and can never be justified by a country who claims they are an example of freedom, the rule of law and a [...]

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 [...]

Anti-America America

February 11, 2011

Is it possible that the United States population is moving ever-so-closer to actually rejecting America? I realize that sounds like an odd question. I mean, how could America be anti-America? Right? Let's consider two situations/events which I believe illustrate how America could be rejecting America. The first is the ongoing saga of Guantanomo. The illegal, [...]
