Tax Solution to Wretched Greed

By now most Americans have experienced extreme disgust upon hearing about the nearly $20 billion in bonuses given to people in New York City’s financial sector at the end of 2008. After sending the nation into the current economic black hole there is no way of comprehending the audacity of financial company executives in giving themselves and their colleagues shameful rewards for abysmal and disgraceful performance. Other than screaming and moaning about all this dishonorable behavior what should the Obama administration... Read article

More On The New World Order

In my last column, I attempted to wake up my fellow Americans, who are either currently slumbering through the collapse of our constitutional republic or in a protracted state of denial regarding a very real–and very dangerous–burgeoning New World Order. The information that I need to disseminate on this matter is so plentiful that it is extremely difficult to condense into one column. Therefore, I must at least attempt to provide a little more information on this subject. I will use this column to do just that. I... Read article

Pulling out of Iraq

The Camp Ramadi hand-over… Every day I get at least five press releases in my inbox from MNFI headquarters in Iraq, and each press release in itself tells an individual story — but if you start viewing all the releases as a whole, various trends and themes start to pop out. For instance, after seeing over a dozen press releases about how this or that soldier died in a “non-combat-related incident”, one begins to suspect that the Army is still having problems with their new up-armored MRAP vehicles’... Read article

Welcome to the ‘New’ America!

Re: “More Coloradans ask for aid” Allison Sherry Denver Post 1/26/09 “Colorado jobless rate 6.1%” Svaldi/ Denver Post/ 1/28/09 Denver Post journalist Allison Sherry and Aldo Svaldi wrote gut-wrenching columns on Coloradans lining up for food stamps like refugees from a third world nation. Normally, you see poor countries with their citizens being thrown bags of grain off United Nations trucks by aid workers. Welcome to the ‘new’ America! From October to December, 8,000 more Coloradans added themselves... Read article

No Innocent Bystanders

An interview with Mickey Z by Gregory Elich Just out is the latest book by political activist Mickey Z, and like his other works this one is packed with incisive analysis and engaging wittiness. Never reluctant to take on sacred cows, Mickey looks at our political culture and lays bare all of its pretensions and illusions. [Q] Your new book, No Innocent Bystanders, is just out. It’s a book amply filled with food for thought and interesting insight. What were you looking to achieve with this book, and what audience do you... Read article

A Very Real New World Order

It is hard to believe, but a majority of Americans (including Christians and conservatives) seem oblivious to the fact that there is a very real, very legitimate New World Order (NWO) unfolding. In the face of overwhelming evidence, most Americans not only seem totally unaware of this reality, they seem unwilling to even remotely entertain the notion. On one hand, it is understandable that so many Americans would be ignorant of the emerging New World Order. After all, the mainstream media refuses to report, or even acknowledge,... Read article

60 Minutes: Is Israel’s free ride almost over?

Last Sunday, “60 Minutes” ran a segment on Israel and Palestine, and for the most part they did a good job of covering some of the very real issues there. But according to segment host Bob Simon, “Demographers predict that within ten years Arabs will outnumber Jews in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza. Without a separate Palestinian state the Israelis would have three options, none of them good. They could try ethnic cleansing, drive the Palestinians out of the West Bank, or they could give the Palestinians... Read article

The Keystone of Christianity

Why We Lost The War… This week I listened to a televised sermon from the pastor of one of the largest churches in our town. The title of the sermon was “Sin”. Sin is seldom spoken about from United States pulpits so the title gained my immediate attention. When half-an-hour had elapsed and the sermon was complete the audience learned that sin robs Christians of joy and should be confessed to God so that one’s joy can be restored (Humanism). The subtitle of the sermon was “The Joy Factor”.... Read article

The Futility of Alternative Energy in the Midst of Hyper-Population Growth

Most Americans plow through their daily lives without a clue as to their future or their children’s outlook concerning America’s energy crisis. However, last summer, a glimpse of the future confronted them. At $4.20 per gallon of gas, they squirmed on their wallets while complaining, “These prices are insane, ridiculous, crazy….” When a barrel of oil reached $140.00 in August 2008, Americans limited their driving, so much so, they drove 12 million less miles that month. They bought more fuel efficient cars. ... Read article

Healing America

At the stroke of noon on Tuesday, January 20th, America breathed a sigh of relief that echoed across the world. I say that and I am a registered Republican who understands the cost of blowing the whistle on Bush and his associates. Of the many things that George Bush destroyed the Republican Party was only one institution. The GOP, once the proud advocate of freedom, was destroyed, its mission extinguished. Our economy, our rights, the Constitution, and the respect America once held across the world are also dead. The least... Read article

Obama, Guantánamo, and US Hypocrisy

Snapshots from the United States of Incarceration… So, the Pope of Hope announced his (purported) objective of closing the military detention center at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba (“Gitmo”) within one year and we’re expected to herald this announcement as a drastic break from the past. But—as some of the regulars on my blog instantly declared—if President Obama were serious about hope and change, he’d close the prison tomorrow, apologize to the detainees, and offer them financial reparations. That could be promptly... Read article

Revolt of the Sheep

What if NOBODY signs up for digital TV? How many TV sets do you have in your home right now? And how many converter boxes will you need to make them all digital within the next three weeks — and what will it cost you? What a pain in the bootie. But the essence of this situation runs far deeper than just mere cost and inconvenience. Think about it. First of all, there’s that whole “Do this or else” aspect of this changeover. That’s just plain wrong. We Americans are patriots, free-born... Read article

Video: Unseen Gaza

Is what has been presented on our screens and in our papers a true reflection of events on the ground in Gaza? And how do these reports differ to those aired in other countries? Featuring images that have never before been aired on mainstream television, Jon also examines the difference between the coverage at home and that in the US, Europe and the Middle East.

Indict George Bush, Indict Them All

American veterans are returning from Iraq to homelessness. As the economy melts down so do America’s veterans. Tens of thousands who signed up to serve their country are now homeless, unable to function because of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or brain trauma Their condition was directly caused by the Bush Administration. They were told that war was necessary to our safety. It was a lie. Instead, it has lined the pockets of George W. Bush’s core constituency. Americans are struggling with conditions none of... Read article

Why Bailing Out Banks Doesn’t Work

The New York Times recently posed an excellent question: “Why save banks if they won’t lend?” (January 19, 2009) Before the first $350 billion “installment” of the bailout, we were told that the money was needed to “unfreeze” the credit markets, meaning that banks would again be willing to lend businesses the money they needed to continue doing business. Despite hugely popular opposition, the bailout proceeded, and absolutely nothing changed. The congressional “representatives” who passed the bailout bill... Read article

Lead Rains of Gaza

A war is coming – I was forewarned some weeks ago by a most unlikely expert on the subject, an old fisherman called “Charlie”. We sat at a small café by the Sea of Galilee and looked at the dry mud where the sweet waters of the lake used to rollick, at its waterline, which has now receded like Charlie’s hairline; we gazed at the old signs forbidding swimming that now stick out hundreds of yards away from the lake. Drought is always a harbinger of war, said Charlie (whose real name is Ghassan but he prefers this... Read article
