The Oil Plundering Act, The Sheehan – Rockwell Affair, and Targeting British Petroleum

“Mom, when did Congress pass the Oil Plundering Act?” Arthur surprised me while I was busy at the computer with the above question. I paused. I had been wasting a moment reading the posts on the purported affair between Lew Rockwell, and Cindy Sheehan. Libertarianland is a small world where everyone pretty much knows each other. “What did you say?” I was sure I had misheard him. When I am reading I have been known to ignore earthquakes, even when it isn’t gossip about someone I know. I got to know Lew when... Read article

Pitch Black Void

Freefall The towers fell upon their own imprints, floor after floor cascading down upon the next in an avalanche of concrete, glass, steel and flesh, in the process pulverizing everything, and everybody, between them, over 200 combined stories of human ingenuity flattened in the span of seconds, their reign over gravity and the skies eviscerated, falling down to the land of mortals not with the chaos of randomness and malevolent physics but with the unexpected order and perfection of orchestration and wicked pre-planned... Read article

Mad Dog On A Leash

“We should prepare to go on the offensive. Our aim is to smash Lebanon, Trans-Jordan, and Syria. The weak point is Lebanon, for the Moslem regime is artificial and easy for us to undermine. We shall establish a Christian state there, and then we will smash the Arab Legion, eliminate Trans-Jordan; Syria will fall to us. We then bomb and move on and take Port Said, Alexandria and Sinai.” ~~David Ben-Gurion, May 1948 I have been stunned by many things on the US political scene since I was jerked violently awake... Read article

Letter from northern Israel: They did it 60 years ago & they’re doing it again

This new round of Israeli attacks on villages near the Israel-Lebanon border struck a chord with me. Where have I heard that story before? Then I remembered. A friend of mine had visited Israel earlier this year and had written me about her experiences there. It all sounded SO deja-voo. She had driven up from Tel Aviv to go see a place in the hills near the Lebanese border where an old Palestinian village had been bombed and shelled and occupied by Israeli soldiers 60 years before. I re-read her letter. And, yes,... Read article

We Have Met the Enemy in the War on Terror … And He Is Us

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel the vise grip tightening? Thursday’s news read as follows: “Airline passengers around the country stood in line for hours and airport trash bins bulged with everything from mouthwash and shaving cream to maple syrup and fine wine Thursday in a security crackdown prompted by the discovery of a terror plot in Britain.” Imagine this. In “the land of the free and the home of the brave” there is a “security crackdown.” Crackdown on whom, may I ask? United Airlines posted updated... Read article

Terrorism? How Much?

So Many Volunteering For Suicide…For What? When someone is willing to give up his or her life to strike back at a perceived enemy for vengeance, we might write them off as just a loose nut who went over the edge. When either an organized group, or cells of radical believers in some religion or cause, begin recruiting numbers of individuals who allegedly are willing to blow themselves up the media labels them “terrorists” and that seems to explain their behavior, but in fact, it confuses the issue. We... Read article

The world’s new peacekeepers: China — and OPEC?

The war on Lebanon allegedly started when Israeli soldiers were captured and killed. However, shortly thereafter, neo-con wannabe Ehud Olmert killed a lieutenant colonel in the Chinese People’s Liberation Army who was serving in Lebanon as a UN observer. Angered by the loss of one of THEIR soldiers, China started sending humanitarian aid to Lebanon. Olmert got off easy this time for sure! I mean, what if China had decided not to send food but to play by Olmert’s rules instead? If a small country like... Read article

Saving Our Elderly: Off the Grid NOW

John Cadwalder has a solution that costs little, takes practically no upkeep, and makes America secure. Cadwalder has answers you need to know – for all of us. Last winter nearly a million and a half homes in California went without electric power for as long as two weeks. The cost of electricity rose steadily because of the policies adopted by the present administration. Today, the cost of electric power in the United States is tied in to the cost of oil like two Siamese twins joined at the hip and head. Last month California... Read article

2006: The year we lost our chance

“I coulda been a contender!” America could have been a great democracy. “Every child has the chance to become President.” Not any more. “Who will be the last man standing?” It won’t be us. “….with liberty and justice for all.” Not after 2006, the year we lost our chance to chose democracy over sound-bites, honesty over corruption, hope over violence, bravery over fear, love over hate. Don’t you people understand? Our way of life is on... Read article

Where have all the Pro-Lifers gone

Long time passing… The Middle East is on fire. The Dogs of War have been loosed and they are ripping the eyes out of the skulls of dead babies. And just to show you that I am no Mel Gibson, babies are being butchered in Israel as well as Afghanistan, Palestine, Iraq and Lebanon. Have our “leaders” gone crazy? I lie awake nights crying because I’m so frustrated that there is NOTHING I can do to stop this gory dismemberment of our young. But there is one group of people who DO have the political... Read article

I’d Rather Enjoy Life

So Give Me My Junk Food! One of the ladies I know, who’s well up into her sixties, was a vegetarian when I met her nearly fifteen years ago. Since then, she’s progressed to the vegan stage, living on fake pastrami made with soy and fake meats of all kinds made from soy and other beans, legumes, weeds, grasses and berries. (The berries are okay if they’re sweet.) But she avoids milk that isn’t milked from pregnant soybeans, eggs that aren’t made by Dow or Monsanto, all fish and other sea creatures... Read article

“You’re safe”: Iraq’s new unofficial draft board

Guess what? I just got this cool new part-time-temporary job at a “dot.com” this week. I love it! I actually have my own cubicle! Me and Dilbert. The only bad part about this job — aside from the fact that I haven’t a clue what I’m doing — is that I have to work from 5 pm to 9 pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so I miss the TV show “Rock Star Supernova”. I miss watching Tommy Lee. I miss hearing the rock-star-wannabees play old songs by the Rolling Stones. And... Read article
