Can George Bush say under oath, “I never had sex with that man…”

What possibly could be more sleazy than having the Clinton/Lewinsky affair shoved in our faces daily from the front page of the New York Times? Suddenly our children were learning new words that they had never heard before. Gross. Now our children are learning even MORE facts of life, thanks to George W. Bush. “Military escort” is taking on a whole new meaning for them. “Mommy, what exactly does a male prostitute do?” Here’s a photo of George Bush salivating over his “protege” Jeff... Read article

Scarcity and Theocracy

The US military is fast becoming a spent force, and recruitment is not replacing the losses. Earlier this month, the Marine Corps announced it had fallen short of its monthly recruiting goal in January for the first time in nearly a decade. The Connecticut National Guard, facing a large enlistment shortage, is planning a cable television show, a magazine for young people and more recruiters as part of a new plan to boost its ranks. My question is where are all the neocons and their lapdogs? Where are all these gung-ho military... Read article

Corporate Welfare

How come Lockheed gets food stamps and we don’t? How come General Electric gets a place in The Projects and we have to sleep on the streets? How come Monsanto gets government handouts? Where’s MY government cheese? Walmart gets Medicaid. Lockheed-Martin gets food stamps. Everyone knows that Halliburton is on the dole. And what’s up with those welfare queens on Wall Street? How come we have to work and pay taxes and they don’t? My income is called “income” and I pay through the nose but... Read article

Hogan’s Heroes

Have Americans become like Nazis? Nah Our Senate ratified an Attorney General who supports the use of torture. Does that make us Nazis? Nah. Our Pentagon blitzkrieged Baghdad. 100,000 people are dead. Does that make us Nazis? Nah. Our hearts and minds are constantly brainwashed by pro-war propaganda machines. Does that make us Nazis? Nah. Our dissidents are hauled off to secret jails, free speech is in deep dog dookie, the Bill of Rights is a relic of the past, U.S. citizens are denied lawyers and held for years... Read article

A look into the political discourse in the US by the likes of Bill O’Reilly and Ann Coulter – The blow-hard Bill O’Reilly has described this documentary as a “vicious attack on Fox News” The United States is in the midst of a very un-civil war.

Nations Switching to Euros

Russian Central Bank Switches to Euro-Dollar Basket in Targeting Ruble. A couple of years ago I wrote a widely distributed article for Ether Zone titled: Currency Wars: Euro Vs Dollar. It was about the declining power of the greenback, and one of the important underlying reasons for the conquest of Iraq was in the defense of the once mighty dollar. The power behind the American dollar is in its ability to buy and sell oil, it is also the worlds “Reserve Currency” which enables central banks of nations to defend... Read article

Gaul was divided in three parts

Iraq should be too I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. And now that Howard Zinn is stealing my idea, I’d better speak up fast! Here goes: “If the Sunnis and the Shi’is and the Kurds all hate each other, why not just send them to separate parts of the schoolyard and let them play by themselves.” “But what if America leaves and they all kill each other!” you might think. You would be wrong. NOTHING Iraqis could do to each other can possibly be worse than what George Bush... Read article

The President of Madness

In what has got to be the absolute most frighteningly delusional speech ever given in the history of the inaugural spectacle, George W. Bush proclaimed as America’s new and most ambitious mission the ending tyranny on planet earth. Well, hallelujah! Jesus may save souls but Bush and Uncle Sam will deliver the oppressed masses from their earthly bondage. Absolutely jaw dropping, isn’t it? We’ve gone from the cliche of “chicken in every pot and a car in every garage” to peace on earth, freedumb... Read article
