Once upon a time in a land called California, there was born a beautiful baby named Casey.

Casey’s Mom and Dad knew from the minute he was born that he was a very special baby. He had dark hazel eyes that seemed to penetrate into the hearts of people who met his intense gaze.  He was a cheerful baby that grew into a cheerful, yet shy boy.



Casey loved baseball; video games and playing make believe games with his younger siblings. He was a loving and fun big brother to his sisters and brother. Casey grew close with each sibling in different ways. His bright and mature sister, Carly, was his confidant and closest mischief maker. With his brother, Andy, Casey would wrestle and play endless video games, huddled closely on the floor in front of the TV set. Casey would carry his youngest sister, Janey (the baby) to bed each night and tell her a bedtime story, kiss her goodnight and make sure there were no monsters in her closet.

Casey also loved his faith and was devoted to the Catholic Church. The young boy Casey became an Altar Server when he was eight and continued that ministry until he graduated from High School. Casey never missed mass, and many around him were sure he would someday be a Priest.
 
Although quiet and thoughtful, Casey had a very good sense of humor---long funny stories were not his forte,  but he was adept at one-line zingers that would often surprise and delight his Mom.

One day in the land of California, an emissary from the Kingdom’s Army knocked on Casey’s door and beguiled him (through a spell of broken promises of riches, adventure and learning,) to join the Army of the Kingdom. One very terrible day, a few years later, the evil Ruler of the Kingdom, George III, sent Casey off to a wicked war and Casey was killed trying to save the lives of fellow members of the Army of the Kingdom.

Casey did not live happily every after.

Casey’s Mom and Dad and brother and sisters and many other relatives and friends miss him so much and long for his “happily every afters.”

Once upon the same time in the land of California, there was a Ruler in the Caste of the Democrats named Nancy Pelosi. She told Casey’s Mom to her face that she was very sorry for Casey dying and that she was doing everything she could to stop other Casey’s from meeting the same fate. Years later, Casey’s Mom found out that this Pelosi wench knew all along what the evil Ruler George III was up to when he threw innocent people into torture chambers. The Pelosi wench knew that torture would lead to the deaths of many Casey’s, but she did not use her power to stop this.  Casey’s Mom finally understood why the Pelosi wench did not use her legal force to stop the evil Ruler George III or his war: she was and is complicit in the crimes of the Kingdom.

This sad tale is told because the Rulers of the Kingdom, in both Castes, misused Casey and thousands of others as pawns in their foul game of global domination.

If the “peasants” in the Kingdom of George and Nancy do not wake up and rise up to stop the oppression and murder by the evil rulers, no one (except the evil Rulers and their consorts) will live happily every after.

--The End--

Who Would Casey Support for president?

My bet is Casey would be like the majority of USA troops, who according to the federal elections commission, has twice, contributed more to Ron Paul than any presidential candidate.  The grassroots is with Ron Paul who is the PEACE CANDIDATE, and is doing more for PEACE than any candidate in any party.  Those who do not support Ron Paul have issues other than PEACE on their table because RON PAUL is UNITING PEACE ACTIVISTS.  Democrats asked us to pinch our nose for warmongering Kerry.  Enough nose pinching for any Democrat.  Ron Paul supporters don't agree with Ron Paul on ALL his issues, but we all agree on one thing, END THE WAR NOW.  That's Ron Paul's major issue.  Cindy Sheehan would UNITE with Ron Paul if PEACE was indeed her goal, but it is not.  It is merely a cover.  Her real goal is uniting the New World Order for the UN.  THAT is why she cannot and will not support Ron Paul.   Cindy Sheehan supports war through the UN in the name of peace.

you're not making much sense, Jeanette

Support Ron Paul or you are against peace?

Cindy Sheehan is only pretending to support peace when she actually wants the UN to have dominion over the world?

Surely you're JOKING.

Pelosi and her pathetic Deomcrats

I am truly sorry for your loss and all the other Gold Star mothers and fathers who have lost their loved ones in a war that is a war for the profit of the rich and powerful.   

We are not powerful as a single person but united we can be a force to reckon with.  I think Nancy Pelosi is the worst Speaker of the House this country has ever had.  I know she doesn’t have any balls but at least she could have a spine.

Her pathetic bunch of Democrats or maybe they should change their name to the Fraiddycrats could have forced this not my President Bush from continuing to line the pockets of his rich friends with our tax dollars at the expense of our brave soldiers lives. 

Cindy I hope you run for congress and defeat this spineless embarrassment of a speaker and give some power back to the people.

A writer is a rogue goose. All other gees fly in a flock formation; every goose knows his place and time for honking. The rogue goose is undisciplined. He leaves the formation indiscriminately to have a look at it from aside. He roams back and forth, takes a peep at the leader, honks a little bit from behind, distracts everyone and writes on what he sees. Time passes and as he wants to return back to his place he discovers someone else there. Thus he either has to wait until they land for rest...

When Pelosi wench

was lying through her teeth, Cindy aand others should have  watched her enermous ugly ears. Those most likely would out her like they out her now and she hides them. But I sincerely hope that 'Pelosi's ears' would become a saying in the US.

This is not to   laugh at the serious matter. But  it is in the spirit of the tale.

9/11

Cindy,

9/11 is the mother of all smokescreens. At the origin of every and each US war of agression abroad there has always been a false flag operation, Pearl Harbor was one, Gulf of Tonkin was another one. Fearmongering is at the bottom root  of warmongering. You can not combat war criminals if you refuse to tackle the issue of false flag operations. 9/11 was a textbook example of treachery and fearmongering and high treason. Recent revelations by former Italian president  Francessco Cossigo that 9/11 was an INSIDE JOB is the last straw that is breaking the back of the camel of lies and deceptions. You Cindy, you are intelligent and courageous with guts and cojone. Why in the hell you keep buying into the official Big Lie and want to keep pushing the fairy tale about hijackers with boxcutters who hate our freedom bullshit down our throat continuously? Your audience is much more intelligent than that.Pelosi signed a pact with the devil when she took oath of office and sold her honor for money and prestige. Have you signed the same pact and sold your soul and integrity already  to the devil in exchange for a seat in the Congress? Come on Cindy, you have the obligation to get it straight wiht us. We want to know, we are entitled to know why you still believe in the Fairy Tale. We know the Truth, but do you?Thank you

A History of Corruption

This was the beginning of this sequence.  Before this was Iran/Contra with both Cheney and elder Bush. 

The Barracks in Beirut and the RDX Rags Bombs started this latest increase in military spending after the end of the Veitnam Conflict.

9/11 was at least a coverup from the inside and it just fit so well into the plans of the PNAC. 

I think we need more noble Robinhoods in this Kingdom, at least until we find a legitimate ruler.

calm down ...

Look, let's say she knows, you know, so how many of your friends and family don't even want to discuss this issue with you, and in some cases don't want to talk at all?

Catch my drift?

I make copies of DVD's now and send them to the people that should see them the most anonymously. It's fun to hear back from them. And I don't let on that I'm the one that sent them the DVD. Something will come up about the FRB and I'll get an affirmation, like they knew all along, or just found out about FRB being a private bank.

Same with 9/11. You just can't go stopping everyone on the street and screaming "YOU'RE BEING LIED TO! LISTEN TO MEEEE!!!" before some uniform authority intercedes and ruins the rest of your day, or more ...

actually, if you where to read the signs and bumper-stickers plastered all over my truck ... anyway ...

You're certainly not going to get elected because the BIG BAD MEDIA MACHINE would put the biggest tin-hat they could muster on you and crush you to death with it. Even though we all know. We know a lot of things people are really scared to find out. I didn't want to find out my government has been lying to us long before we were born and that we're at a culmination of ruling elites continued strangle-hold on what's left of the dwindling resources all the while treating every other person as so much excrement and an awaking of the masses to this fact as they gain knowledge at warp-light speeds never before seen in recorded history.

It just happened ... so calm down ...

do what I do, make copies of Press for Truth, Uncounted, and other DVD's and have friends from out of town send them to others that need to know this stuff, people who would never order a DVD like that or view it any other way. Have fun with your rage. Don't ever send the DVD's from your state. If you travel a lot so much the better. I recommend everyone do this this holiday - just think what a good stocking-stuffer the movie Zeitgeist would make on the anniversary of Our Lord Jesus birthday? LOL!!!  ... sometimes I just crack myself up ... ahhh...

So take it from an old man ... I don't know what's going to happen - but whatever it is we'll never see the likes of again for maybe another 5 billions years ... now go get laid.

Its real and its serious

Well old man.  I did a few hours back.  My friend is still sleeping.  She will be getting up shortly to get her grandson off to school.  I had a meeting a few hours before that.  It is the last order of business we will be conducting this year.

Happy Holidays.

Tell people something they know already and they will thank you for it.
Tell them something new and they will hate you for it.
I can't tell you whose quote that was, but I like it.
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, - go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!"...Samuel Adams
I think you might recognize that name.

"As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances there is a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in such a twilight that we must be aware of the change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness."  William O. Douglas, Supreme Court Justice

Sounds like a wise man.

I'm not unrealistic.  After all it is happening.  My son is in Iraq.  I was young once and wanted a good job.  I became an Avionics technician in the Marine Corp.  I learned to fix Boeing CH-46E helocopters.  I helped unload them one day on the USS Iwo Jima and carried wounded from 0700 - 1830 on October 23, 1983.

 

FRIGHTENED EYES 

The birds came in

Rotors turning, engines burning

cots were stacked in the back

Frightened eyes they knew not why

Burnt and bloody

Some were buddies

Some weren't there

They weren't anywhere 

Back on Shore

They were no more.

Frightened Eyes

They knew not why.

Shocked and awed

our memories stored

Remind us each day of TRUTH

that won't go away

Death, fear stays silent in the mind

Immortal characters from within we find

Anger rises, frustration abounds

Feel the energy except no rounds 

Frightend Eyes they know not why

 

Semper Fi

Cindy Sheehan - American Hero

I praise Cindy for her courageous stance against this filthy war machine and the Democratic party enablers. Pelosi and Clinton are nothing other than whores to the criminals who have rigged the game against the average citizen.

In the future Cindy Sheehan will be remembered as a true patriotic American hero for her ability to call bullshit for what it is and expose the two party sham democracy. A growing number of Americans are now coming out of their slumber and beginning to see this as well. The political system has become corrupted beyond redemption, our economy is a giant casino and con game that has looted the treasury and beggared the country and our only sellable export is death.

You go Cindy, because a movement is growing that transcends the bogus right-left paradigm, it transcends traditional party lines and will settle for nothing less than the restoration of our stolen civil liberties and the reigning in of the empire and one day it will shake the establishment to it's very foundation.

Mark my words on this.

Just my two cents
