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 [...]

10 Years Later, Bin Laden Killed

May 2, 2011

This…is fitting… Finally…. From Brian Beutler of Talking Points Memo. The announcement late last night… In a rare, late-night statement from the White House Sunday at 11:35 p.m., President Obama announced that Osama Bin Laden was killed by U.S. forces in a firefight Sunday, in "a compound deep inside Pakistan." How, When and Where…. According [...]

Egypt Part Of Bush 'Freedom Agenda'?

February 14, 2011

Fox analyst and WaPo columnist, Charles Sour-Krauthammer…. Today, everyone and his cousin supports the ‘freedom agenda.’ Of course, yesterday it was just George W. Bush, Tony Blair and a band of neocons with unusual hypnotic powers who dared challenge the received wisdom of Arab exceptionalism … Now it seems everyone, even the left, is enthusiastic [...]

83 To 15

December 14, 2010

It isn't often that obstructionistic Republican Senators act all bipartisan. This is what they normally do… In the 110th Congress of 2007-2008, with Republicans in the minority, there were a record 112 cloture votes. That was a doubling of the previous record. As of August, 2010….Republican Senators had rung up 53 filibusters in the current [...]

2010 War Criminal Book Tour

November 9, 2010

Matt Lauer: (quoting from the American war criminal's new book) "It (9-11) redefined duty and it would redefine my job. I could never forget what happened to America that day. I would pour my heart and soul into protecting this country, whatever it took." Lauer: It took two wars, it took thousands of lives, American [...]

"Mission Accomplished", The Sequel

August 19, 2010

While the nation's most intelligent and influential minds are lining up on either side of a non-story, non-issue: whether fee-fees (sensitivities) are more important than the rule of law when deciding whether New York Muslims have guaranteed constitutional rights…..I want to take this time to comment on last night's MSNBC "coverage" of the last American [...]

The "Second Class War"

July 26, 2010

WikiLeaks has released 92,000 classified reports on America's war in Afghanistan. The reports are from January 2004 through December 2009. While I'm certain that America's right will call for an assassination team to take out the proprietors of WikiLeaks as enemies of the empire…..the web site has actually done America a favor. The secret documents, [...]

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. [...]

Won't This Endanger The Troops?

January 3, 2010

Good 2007 Fox article about the U.S. State Dept. granting immunity to Blackwater killers. State Department officials have reportedly granted several Blackwater employees immunity from prosecution in its case of last month's deadly shootings of 17 Iraqi civilians, …one source indicated the Department of Justice and the FBI feel hamstrung by the immunity grant, which [...]

Barack W. Obama

December 1, 2009

In his scheduled speech tonight at West Point, President Obama will make one of the biggest mistakes of his short presidency. Obama has accepted General McChrystal's recommendations on Afghanistan in their entirety. Those recommendations are unrealistic and have more to do with military testosterone, ego, and the Empire's military industrial complex than the interests of [...]
