Gangsters, Banksters, & Serious News People

May 1, 2009

Soon, the new revelations about the criminal gangsters of torture, aka the George W. Bush administration, will quietly, and with the whore-media leading the way, be swept under the rug. Of this, I have no doubt. Our representative democracy will, as it did during the Ford administration, set yet another precendent in defense of lawlessness, [...]

Torturing Detainees Cost American Lives

April 29, 2009

Conservatives, arguing that Bush era torture crimes should not be investigated or prosecuted, have chosen to resort to a slogan in defending their position. Torture, "saved American lives". Therefore, the slogan implies, torture should not be prosecuted as a crime. Not only is the slogan not factual, the truth is just the opposite of the [...]

Enhance This

April 28, 2009

War on terror. Evil-doers. Axis of evil. Islamofascists. Mission accomplished. The Patriot Act. Weapons of mass destruction. Operation: Iraqi Freedom. Phrases, words, memes,……which have no comprehensible meaning by themselves, some are even oxymoronic,…..all repeatedly written and spoken to mislead, to make Americans think one thing is really something else entirely. An American war of aggression, [...]

The GOP Is Getting Even More Extreme

April 24, 2009

I shouldn't be surprised, really. I mean, W. came out of Texas, so I shouldn't be surprised to find that one half of Texas Republicans polled now think the state should secede from the United States. "Do you approve or disapprove of Governor Rick Perry's suggestion that Texas may need to leave the United States?" [...]

The Reckoning

April 23, 2009

Today's Akron Beacon Journal editorial has it wrong. That comes as no surprise to me. Those who write the editorials for the Beacon have been way behind the Bush curve for years. There would be no reason to expect a change now. The editorial calls the Bush-Cheney torture regime "a failure of imagination". Sorry…. it's [...]

Despicable New York Times Article

April 22, 2009

I'm sick to death of reading mindlessly written bullsh*t like this from todays' NY Times…. This extraordinary consensus (to torture) was possible,… largely because no one involved — not the top two C.I.A. officials who were pushing the program, not the senior aides to President George W. Bush, not the leaders of the Senate and [...]

Torture Did Not Save Lives

April 18, 2009

As our dual narrative America continues in opposite directions over torture…of all things……it becomes more and more important to stop and take the time to expose the lies still being touted about torture. When George W. Bush said repeatedly, "America doesn't torture", he was relying on his own narrative about torture as defined by his [...]

Not Proud

April 17, 2009

"Proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free," sang Toby Keith, as America pumped it's fist, beat it's chest and rose up in righteous anger immediately after 9-11. During the presidency of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, I was not proud to be an American. I was ashamed of America. [...]

GOP: Still A Criminal Enterprise

April 7, 2009

Nothing really new in the New York Times article today entitled, "Report Outlines Medical Workers' Role in Torture"….. Medical personnel were deeply involved in the abusive interrogation of terrorist suspects held overseas by the Central Intelligence Agency, including torture, and their participation was a “gross breach of medical ethics,” a long-secret report by the International [...]

Hostage Nation

March 16, 2009

As I see it, America, the nation of 300 million, is being held hostage. It is as if specific and powerful interests have kidnapped the population, placed knives against our collective throats, and then have continually sent ranson notes warning that the kidnappers will slit those throats if the proper authorities do not do exactly [...]
