Divided: America Falls

One look across the American landscape finds our country in trouble. Every crisis facing us in 2009 found its origins within our United States Congress and presidents that led us into wars. Those men and women, with their hands on the power levers, jacked this country into horrendous debt, endless war and denigration of our culture, language and national cohesiveness. They bulldozed us into Vietnam, orchestrated Desert Storm and manipulated the Iraq War by deceit, deception and treachery. Led by Senator Teddy Kennedy,... Read article

Russell Means: Breaking the silence on Obama

American Indian activist Russell Means said President-elect Obama was selected by the colonial powers as president to improve the US image globally in the aftermath of George Bush. Further, Means said Obama’s appointments show that he is a Zionist controlled by Israel. Speaking on Red Town Radio today, Means said what is happening now to Palestinians is what happened to American Indians. “Every policy now the Palestinians are enduring was practiced on the American Indian,” Means said on Red Town Blog Talk Radio,... Read article

Romans 13 Revisited

It seems that every time someone such as myself attempts to encourage our Christian brothers and sisters to resist an unconstitutional or otherwise reprehensible government policy, we hear the retort, “What about Romans Chapter 13? We Christians must submit to government. Any government. Read your Bible, and leave me alone,” or words to that effect. No doubt, some who use this argument are sincere. They are only repeating what they have heard their pastor and other religious leaders say. On the other hand, let’s... Read article

Erosion of the Good News

The Southern Baptist Convention has reported a drop in membership in the latest church annual report, “Yearbook of American & Canadian Churches.” They’re now in company with all the other mainline denominations who have steadily lost members over the last decade. Barna Group’s latest poll provides some clues. Half of those who responded no longer believe that Christianity is “the Religion” of America. More startling is the mixed bag of beliefs residing in the minds of those claiming to be Christians, evangelicals... Read article

It’s Time to Break up the Big Banks

Timothy Geithner is putting the finishing touches on a plan that will dump $1 trillion of toxic assets onto the US taxpayer. The plan, which goes by the opaque moniker the “Public-Private Investment Fund” (PPIF), is designed to provide lavish incentives to hedge funds and private equity firms to purchase bad assets from failing banks. It is a sweetheart deal that provides government financing and guarantees for illiquid mortgage-backed junk for which there is currently no active market. What’s got Geithner... Read article

Hate crimes in Galilee? Land-grabs in Bethlehem? Oy vey!

How come hate crimes and land grabs are decried and illegal everywhere else in the civilized world — except in Israel? Why is that? How come every other country in the civilized world forces their citizens to toe the line, behave themselves and be well-mannered — but Israel gets a pass? It’s true that the state of Israel was conceived and born by the sword — but watching the civilized world continue to allow Israel to live by the sword for all these years is really starting to get on my nerves.... Read article

Bailouts, Stimulus Packages or Redistribution of Assets?

Part Two of Two Unconstrained, the bankers have financed all of the profit-producing, declared and undeclared wars. The U.S. government alleged that the Second World War was caused by obstacles to free trade, exacerbated by the financial events of 1929 manifested in Nazi fascism and responsible for the tensions that led to the Second World War. As a consequence of their questionable theory, the conditions of receiving American economic aid included the implementation of a free trade policy. Free trade policies, like central... Read article

In Defense of the White Man

While many believe that prejudice has diminished over time, it’s not really true.  Prejudice is much like the wind: Its direction changes, and the sheltered and well-situated may not sense it, but it’s always blowing on some people somewhere.  Put literally, every age has its fashionable biases – and unfashionable people. This was obvious during the presidential inauguration benediction, given by the Reverend Joseph Lowery.  While making a supplication to the Lord, he made the following anachronistic... Read article

Patriarch Aleksy, R.I.P.

Aleksy II, Patriarch of Moscow and head of the Russian Orthodox Church, died of heart failure on December 5, 2008, at the age of 79. Born in Estonia in 1929 into a pious family of Russian émigrés of German extraction, Aleksei Mikhailovich Ridiger was ordained a priest in 1950, completed his theological studies in St. Petersburg (then Leningrad) three years later, and was tonsured in 1961. His subsequent rise through the ranks of the Russian Orthodox Church—allegedly facilitated by a KGB connection, which he always denied—culminated... Read article

$28.5 billion reasons why we should legalize drugs in America

I’ve been searching around for a way to justify flying down to Puerto Vallarta this winter. I should be going off to Gaza or Iraq or the Democratic Republic of Congo or something — places where I can write about scorching-hot news. Even Washington DC would probably be a more newsworthy place to go right now than just the jewel of the Mexican Riviera. But instead I keep dreaming about sunny, friendly, inexpensive Puerto Vallarta. Puerto Vallarta is fun. Then I read an article on Yahoo News that talked... Read article

Radical Love

Mickey Z. interviews Natty Seidenverg… Natty Seidenverg is a writer and an activist from the high desert region of Cascadia. She’s been giving radical love workshops for about three years and was kind enough share her thoughts with me, via e-mail. Here’s the result: Mickey Z: What do you mean by the term “radical love”? Does it automatically imply polyamory? Does it automatically exclude monogamy? Natty Seidenverg: Radical love does not have a concrete definition, and that is purposeful.... Read article

Predestination

A Theological Fulcrum… “We are constantly opposed, and yet perpetually preserved!” ~ Charles Spurgeon My mother’s family was Methodist for several generations. My sisters and I were raised in a Methodist Church in a small town in Mid-Western United States. The little town was also home to a Presbyterian Church. Mother told us the difference between the two churches involved God controlling everything from His throne in Heaven and people controlling their own lives here in His creation. Dad’s family had... Read article

Next Added 100 Million Americans: Killing Our Oceans

Chapter Sixteen… “We’re drowning in a sea of garbage with a three million ton waste dump twice the size of Texas floating 1,000 miles off the West Coast called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.” ~ Professor Paul G. Miller, Colorado State University Humans consider the planet’s oceans their private toilet. On average, they dump 8,000 pieces of plastic litter into the oceans and seas every 24 hours. The U.N. Environment Program calculated that 46,000 pieces of plastic litter float on every square mile of our... Read article

Form 95: How Congress replaced “meaningful access to justice” with a form

As I continue to pursue my small-claims lawsuit against the Department of Defense, I am beginning to feel more and more like Nancy Drew. However, the deeper I probe into the mysteries of how our federal court system works, the more obvious it becomes that I am pretty much clueless regarding how to get this massive and intimidating court system to work for ME. The whole process seems to be rigged so that us little guys will lose. Did you know that the federal court system doesn’t have any kind of small-claims-court... Read article

Bailouts, Stimulus Packages or Redistribution of Assets?

Part One of Two On February 17, 1950, James Paul Warburg appeared before the U.S. Senate and declared: “We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether world government will be achieved by conquest or consent.” [1] To establish a world government, it is necessary to incrementally eradicate the constitution, bring the U.S. to her knees economically, and shackle the taxpayers to perpetual debt through bailouts and stimulus packages funded by printing billions of dollars of... Read article

American Jewry & The Economic Crisis

“OPEN THE FLOOD GATES FOR IMMIGRATION,” declared the Jew, Senator Jacob Javits of New York, in his and the Jewish Lobby’s promotion of the Immigration Law of 1965. In plain terms, Javits & US Jewry were declaring war on America’s dispossessed majority, white Christian Americans. American Jewry, a highly organized, intensely ethnocentric & abominably wealthy minority, is hell bent on ruling over a pummeled and guilt-ridden white majority. Jewry accomplishes this by diluting and fragmenting... Read article
