Obama Nation upholds US terror

Let’s start with two facts: 1. The United States of America is a rogue state built on and maintained by terror 2. Barack Obama will do absolutely nothing to change or challenge the realities behind fact #1 In the name of providing context, let’s look back to the “good war” (a phrase in which—as Studs Terkel said—the noun and adjective don’t match) for an example of time-honored US terror tactics: In World War II’s Pacific theater—cheered on by the likes of Time magazine, which explained that “properly... Read article

Real Change: Thrift and Prudence

We Americans have come a long way from the Great Depression — not that we have learned from it. The Federal Reserve and U.S. Government have also not learned from history. They persist in following in the footsteps of a long line of public official “Fixers” while placing taxpayers and our nation in jeopardy for generations to come. Americans have been ruled with expectations that our standards of living would continue to rise, jobs would always be plentiful and the world revolved around America the beautiful. At... Read article

Eight Years of Insanity

Bush, Israel and The Slow Destruction of Palestine… Yes, ‘n’ how many years can some people exist Before they’re allowed to be free? Yes, ‘n’ how many times can a man turn his head, Pretending he just doesn’t see? ~ Bob Dylan, “Blowin’ In The Wind” What’s going on in Gaza right now is so incredibly tragic and unjust, not to mention unbelievably brutal and barbaric. But I’m not here to discuss how it is we came to this horrific situation. No, that has... Read article

Stop the Existence of Parallel Societies within America

Reports show another 500,000 Americans lost their jobs in December 2008. Unemployment spiked to 7.2 percent. More home foreclosures! Trade deficits hit $700 billion again in 2008! This past Sunday, I watched David Gregory, moderator for NBC’s “Meet the Press”. He interviewed journalist Thomas Friedman, economist Paul Gigot, Representative Newt Gingrich and two other illustrious experts. They discussed Obama’s economic stimulus package and how it would put Americans back to work on infrastructure construction... Read article

Obama vs. Social Security (round one)

Obama should have kept his mouth shut…at least until the inauguration. He’s been successfully dodging questions and avoiding opinions on all matters for months now, but let one slip at a recent press conference. After announcing that the U.S. budget-deficit would be a trillion dollars “for years to come,” Obama immediately stressed his commitment to “contain” the budget-deficit problem. In previous speeches, Obama vaguely addressed the deficit issue by promising to cut “wasteful spending,” without ever... Read article

The “Generous Offer” Update

Two Years of Starvation Followed by Fire-bombing… Apart from the slaughter of 900 Palestinians and the vast destruction from 14 days of aerial bombardment, the Israeli invasion of Gaza has failed to achieve any of its strategic objectives. The Palestinian resistance is still intact, the rocket-fire has continued, and Hamas is stronger than ever. So, what has been gained? Hamas has withstood the ferocious Israeli assault without knuckling under or making any concessions. They’ve proved that they are the legitimate... Read article

Libertarianism: If Not Now, Then When?

With the meltdown of the American economy, what better time to ask: Can libertarianism come to the rescue? Perhaps the most interesting statement in the Wikipedia discussion of libertarianism is that “There is no single theory that can be reliably identified as the libertarian theory, and no single principle or set of principles on which all libertarians would agree.” Nevertheless, I think it is fair to say that libertarianism includes the belief in economic freedom that emphasizes removing corporate subsidies and other... Read article

Next Added 100 Million Americans: How to Destroy America

Chapter Fourteen… “The problems in the world today are so enormous they cannot be solved with the level of thinking that created them.” ~ Einstein While this nation faces a population overload, this nation must address major cultural differences caused by massive, unrelenting and unending immigration from third world cultures. Recently, I attended an immigration-overpopulation conference in Washington, DC, filled to capacity by many concerned Americans and leaders. Writers, speakers, CEO’s, representatives... Read article

So why is the US economy sinking?

We have resources. We have skilled labor. We have infrastructure that allows easy commercial transport. We have technology that links businesses to businesses and businesses to customers. We have an education system that can develop a continuous flow of skilled workers into the labor market. We proved our “free market” system was superior to the command economy of the communistic Soviet Union 20 years ago. We had a vibrant, independent middle class that was the envy of the world—the proof of this is the flow of immigrants... Read article

Gaza: A Cry for Justice

Since the Israeli onslaught against Palestinians began on December 27th, a true interpretation of the battle inside the Gaza Strip is deeply complicated by the surrounding barrage of vehement words and conflicting analyses. Certain facts are incontestable; the present siege is the deadliest since Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza in 1967, with the number of Palestinian casualties increasing in their hundreds each day and already topping several thousand injuries. Gaza faces a “full-blown humanitarian crisis”,... Read article

Caught up in a cult?

Countless people are caught up in cults and cult-like groups. To avoid being one of them it couldn’t hurt to become familiar with the nature of a cult and their schemes. Granted, there are no easy answers to the question, “What exactly is a cult?” But there are some cold hard facts about the cults that most people are unaware of. One thing you can count on is that some of your relatives, friends, neighbors and even the friendly face who checks your groceries at your local market may be caught up in a cult or a cult-like... Read article

Israel Attacks UN Aid Convoys to Gaza

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) has suspended operations in Gaza since coming under attack by Israeli military forces on Friday. A statement from the UNRWA said its temporary suspension “was compelled by incidents in which UNRWA staff, convoys and installations have come under attack.” The statement said, “On numerous occasions in recent days, humanitarian convoys have come under Israeli fire even though their safe passage through clearly designated routes at specifically agreed times, had been confirmed... Read article

Gaza at War

Cold wintery evening in Tel Aviv, the evening of the ground invasion, a new step in the escalation of what may become a new big war. There were hundreds of demonstrators – many young people, a lot of families with children, all sorts of Israelis and Palestinians, under red banners calling to end the warfare in Gaza. In Jerusalem, deep fog all but covered the walls of the Old City. But even deeper is the fog of war. It is too early to predict the future developments. We still do not know what the goals of the Israeli... Read article

US Senate Endorses Israel’s War on Gaza

The US Senate on Thursday passed a non-binding resolution promoted by the influential Israeli lobby AIPAC (The American Israel Public Affairs Committee), effectively endorsing Israel’s war on Gaza. The resolution, entitled “A resolution expressing solidarity with Israel in Israel’s defense against terrorism in the Gaza Strip” recognizes “the right of Israel to defend itself against attacks from Gaza” and reaffirms “the United States’ strong support for Israel in its battle with Hamas”. The resolution does... Read article
