Democracy, a Death Sentence for Afghanistan

I recently purchased a book that deeply saddens and troubles me. The old cliché – “a picture is worth a thousand words” is applicable to this book. Many of the photos in this book are of children, orphans – made older than their tender years by the daily deprivation of essential needs. They are beautiful children with dark, poignant eyes. Most of us will never experience, during our entire lives, the death and destruction that encompasses their vulnerable existence each and every day. This is a book every American... Read article

Americans vote NO on Bush and take Impeachment off the table

Mark your calendar. On December 10th, Human Rights Day, Americans from across the country will meet to discuss the Impeachment of George W. Bush and Richard Cheney, President and Vice-President of the United States. The congruence of Human Rights Day and consideration of Impeachment is curiously appropriate. What better day to begin the process that is so needed to mend the lives of Americans? While Nancy Pelosi considers the color of her drapes and tables discussion of an impeachment sentiment that propelled her and other... Read article

Clueless in America

Feeding the Tape Worms of Desire It may well be that there is no hope for the American republic, that we are by choice beyond reclamation. Much of the world sees the average American as detached from reality, isolated from the suffering of others. They see us as self-absorbed, over indulgent, willfully ignorant, and imbued with enormous hubris—characterizations that are difficult to argue against. Unfortunately, I am well acquainted with the type. Most Americans somehow believe that we are an exceptional people—God’s... Read article

Madame Jane Predicts: How to survive the coming economic meltdown…

Just exactly what do you expect me to say here? That Madame Jane can channel John Maynard Keynes? That the ghost of Adam Smith hovers over my house waiting to come down the chimney like Santa Claus? That Henry George and his “Law of Rent” is gonna rise up from the grave and give me advice that will save our sorry bottoms from the inevitable at this late date just because we wised up and voted Democratic in November and stopped watching Fox News? Well, guess what? Sometimes even Madame Jane’s all-knowing... Read article

The Fleecing of an American, George Horvat

Generally, Americans acknowledge the steady flow of cash into the big pockets of big business, particularly under the current administration. Americans were fleeced, just by seven Bush administration agencies, for at least $1.6 billion between 2003 through mid-2005. This amount was paid, through hundreds of contracts, to advertising agencies, PR firms, and individuals. Pre-packaged spin disguised as news were used to propagandize Americans into believing that “war is peace” in Bush’s ongoing profit-producing, conflict... Read article

Behind the Governments Veil of Deceit

Never before has such a small percentage, of an estimated 1.6 million Muslims living in the U.K, seen to be the root cause for the failures in integration. Yet, Muslim women wearing the veil, (niqāb), are increasingly blamed for the apparent social dysfunction in society. But is this really about community ‘separation’? Is the niqāb responsible for the ‘difficulty’ in fostering positive community relations? Or is there a real danger for the nation to fall in line with the vision of a secular ‘apartheid’ Europe? Much... Read article

It’s the Wrong Target, Folks

Since Rockefeller-financed Kinsey and his kinky research, the arrival of the Internet and entertainment-oriented, morality-challenged, reality television, we have been subtly focused and programmed into a nation of negligible protesters who appear more concerned about what our consenting-adult neighbors are doing in the privacy of their own homes than in who our government is currently bombing. Our protestations are misdirected. We are subjected to a mostly irresponsible, complicit media and a government more intent on... Read article

Throw mama from the plane: My weird skydiving adventure

Why did it take me 25 minutes to brush all the tangles out of my hair last night? I’ll tell you why! When a man who looks like a linebacker for the Oakland Raiders physically throws you out of an airplane while flying 14,000 feet above the planet, you get a LOT of tangles in your hair. Here’s the story: I’ve always been kind of a wimp. My older sister Ann was a bully and nothing delighted her more than to torment her sweet gentle girlie-girl sibling, the one with the collection of wannabe Story... Read article

The Cumulative Effect of Lesser Evils

During the early 1990’s, I was a facilitator at an outdoor cooperative education facility in northern Virginia. I worked with students from the Fairfax County public school system, the majority of them in middle school. The teaching principles we employed stressed cooperation in problem solving within a culture that places extreme value upon competition and exploitation. The typical unit size our facilitators worked with was twelve students. The groups were divided so that people who were not accustomed to working together... Read article

No Peace, No Place for Palestine

Finally. Someone has noticed what is going on in the Middle East. The UK Telegraph reports that Britain is “furious” with Israel because of the damage it is causing in Gaza. Is it because of the wholesale slaughter of innocent Palestinians — the bombing of a Gaza beach that turned the entire family of 12-year-old Huda Ghalia into a smoking pile of human flesh and scattered body parts? No? Then, perhaps it is using innocent Palestinians as human shields, gunning down children as they scurry fearfully to... Read article

The New World Order, Separation of Church & Hate

Part Eighteen According to the globalists, the Constitution must be crushed in order to establish global governance. Every freedom must be revoked; the Bill of Rights must be misrepresented with persuasive propaganda from the most trusted sources. The entire deceptive operation must appear to benefit the masses. It must be shrewdly executed with focused determination or the populace may awaken and revolt. “The religious persecution that drove settlers from Europe to the British North American colonies sprang from the... Read article

Common Sense Individualism

Has Fallen Victim to Sheeple Syndrome Whether the motivation is fear of being different, ridiculed, despised for daring to think differently than directed by the manipulators of public opinion, or whether it is genuine belief in all forms of media that are otherwise acknowledged to be biased, I have no idea! I do know that Americans are not the same breed of humans with which I grew up, and as of this writing, I haven’t changed the way I think because I look for the logic, the evidence, the sources, and try to weave... Read article

Video: The Death Squads

Exposed: The reality of U.S. occupation Of Iraq Night after night death squads rampage through Iraq’s main cities. In Baghdad, up to a hundred bodies a day are dumped on the streets. Often they’ve been tortured with electric drills. Yet those doing the killing have little to do with al Qaeda or Sunni insurgents. This shocking film investigates the links between the death squads and high-ranking Shia politicians. It reveals how the Shia militia that these politicians control have systematically infiltrated and... Read article

Wha-a-a-a-a-at

It is a comon expression that one sees on the faces of “liberal” bloggers and op-ed writers on internet web sites as we view the talking heads in the expensive suits on the mainstream media dismissing us and demanding a move to the centrist viewpoint. It’s like kenneling the watchdogs because a few foxes and skunks have been removed from the chicken house. We dis-elected enough right-wingers from the House of Representatives to give the Democrats a narrow edge and dislodged a few Senators so that there... Read article
