The Living and The Dead

The living sing songs of inspiration, songs of praise for the superiority of their own nation, their own principles, and their own concept of God. They are the best of humans and they will triumph over all because their hearts are pure. The dead are silent. The living tell tales of great wars, of valiant men who have willingly laid down their lives in the pursuit of victory for their side, (whichever side that might have been), of men who still fought bravely though gravely wounded because their cause was just. The dead... Read article

The Taliban Did It

If ANYTHING goes wrong in Afghanistan, we know who to blame! We left Dubai this morning and finally arrived in Kabul after flying over a desert as big as New Mexico and a mountain range as big as New Mexico too. And for two whole hours, EVERYTHING we flew over was either khaki-colored or tan. Kabul itself is like that Sesame Street “What’s wrong with this picture” game. Kabul is just like the other cities except…except for the ocassional bombed-out building, the tall thick razor-wire-topped... Read article

The New World Order, the Conservative Charade

Part Eleven “The rank and file is usually much more primitive than we imagine. Propaganda must therefore always be essentially simple and repetitious. The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly… it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.” Joseph Goebbels One very key point, repeated daily for decades, by the most vociferous voices, is that the media is liberal. The conservatives have a giant advantage over... Read article

The Bourgeois Congress and Economic Violence

If the greatness of a nation is measured by how it treats its poor rather than its military expenditure, America must rank near the bottom of the heap. The disparity between rich and poor has never been greater and it is widening at an accelerating pace. Some pertinent statistics vividly tell the story: Of the world’s 100 largest economic entities, 51 are corporations and 49 are nations. The world’s top 200 corporations account for over a quarter of the economic activity on the globe while employing less than 1% of... Read article

The New World Order, the Ministry of Truth

Part Ten Most of us are happy to have sufficient for our needs but with the elite, enough is never enough. It isn’t simply resource accumulation but an insatiable, obsessive demonic lust for power over others. Controlling others necessitates an absolute infiltration into every area of our lives including the source of our acquired knowledge and our perceptions about current events. To facilitate this goal, a suspension of the First Amendment, specifically our freedom of speech, is absolutely essential. “Congress shall... Read article

How to Boot the Neocons and Reboot America

As the summer approaches events within the intimate world of the Neocons move towards some as yet unseen crisis. The doubtful face of of a ‘terrorist’ is paraded across the screens of the world. Was he Zarqawi? If so, did it really matter? The desperation of this administration for distraction is palpable. While Ann Coulter claws toward another best seller, positioning herself as a real Christian, what response would Jesus have to her harangues as she uses the gouged and bloodied emotions of 9/11 victims as the... Read article

The New World Order, Weapons of Mass Inhumanity

Part Nine In 1996 “Lesley Stahl asked the previous U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Madeleine Albright about the half million Iraqi children that died. … “That is more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?” Not so bright Albright answered: “I think this is a very hard choice, but the price, we think the price is worth it. [i] “THE PRICE IS WORTH IT?” Killing other people’s children would certainly provoke anger. Apparently Albright and Powell, who was not concerned with... Read article

Video: Peace, Propaganda & The Promised Land

U.S. Media & the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land provides a striking comparison of U.S. and international media coverage of the crisis in the Middle East, zeroing in on how structural distortions in U.S. coverage have reinforced false perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This pivotal documentary exposes how the foreign policy interests of American political elites–oil, and a need to have a secure military base in the region, among others–work in combination... Read article

The Flag of the Corporate States of America

This, I know, is bound to be an unpopular essay that is likely to incite intense emotions and harsh accusations against me. Yet I feel compelled to express my thoughts on the matter in part because the commercial media does not allow dissenting views to be heard. Also, the majority of my fellow citizens have been drinking the mind altering kool-aide that distorts reality into fabulous forms that bears little resemblance to reality. Added to the formula is the fact that so many of us choose to live in denial rather than face... Read article

Video: Guantanamo: A History of Torture

Interview with Alfred McCoy, Professor of history at the University of Wisconsin. Guantanamo is a complete construction. It’s a system of total psychological torture, designed to break down every detainee contained therein, designed to produce a state of hopelessness and despair that leads, tragically, sadly in this case to suicide. 05/29/06 You may need to update / download Free Real Player to view this video.  Read More →

And it’s up against the wall American Muthers, Barbara Bush, who raised her son so well. Now Dubya’s out there smirkin’ in God’s honky tonk, Just kickin’ soldiers’ asses and raisin’ hell. ~~ apologies to Jerry Jeff Walker Once a year, George Bush shows up at Arlington National Cemetery and tells a tightly controlled, thoroughly vetted audience that he ‘preciates the sacrifice of those who volunteered to die “in freedom’s cause.” There, surrounded by silent... Read article

And The Roof Caved In

When The Boom Went Bust Some of us, observers of times, trends and events, have been waiting for the American housing boom to go bust, and that day is apparently on the horizon now. But this would cause no ordinary recession. The world economic situation isn’t stable, it has been destabilized by international monetary interests that stand to gain from the emergence, publicly, of the New World Order that has been in the making in the U.S. since the war between the North and South, with the Northern union of centralized... Read article

The New World Order, Weapons of Mass Inhumanity

Part Eight There have been many contrived justifications to goad Americans into spilling their blood and their money for war: the explosion on the Maine, Pearl Harbor which our government knew about and allowed to happen, the Tonkin Bay incident which we now know didn’t happen as stated, and most recently 9-11, a veritable shock and awe illustration that terrorists, those “evil-doers” are out to get America. This crisis, also known as a conflict, had nothing to do with the citizens of Afghanistan or Iraq but official... Read article

Low Water Mark In History

Redefining all Relationships The ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah had one bad reputation for their personal relationships, but at least they weren’t confused. The Romans, particularly the emperors and their elites (the rich and powerful) kept stables of sex slaves and thought nothing about indulging their most perverse lusts. But they weren’t confused. They knew the difference between lasciviousness and marriage. The fact they didn’t care was a matter of immorality but it didn’t interfere with... Read article
