Monday, May 9, 2011 How Progressives Can Take Back America (22 comments)
The GOP has fallen victim to their own strategy. Having defined themselves in opposition to Bin Laden, the future of the GOP is in doubt. It was a Democratic regime that beat the GOP at their own game! The question now is will liberals and progressives seize the day?
Thursday, December 25, 2008 The Movement to Try George W. Bush et al for War Crimes (7 comments)
Bush thumbed his nose at US obligations to the Geneva Conventions and the Nuremberg Principles, in fact, US initiatives to outlaw the war crimes of aggressive war and torture. Now there is evidence that Bush subvert these laws in order to perpetrated the crimes they outlawed.
Thursday, December 11, 2008 Has the US Become a 'Failed State' ? (13 comments)
It is hard to remember a time when the US did not pull up the rear on the CIA's own list of 'net debtor nations'. The difference now is the exponential rate at which the national debt is increasing. Has the US crossed the event horizon into an economic black hole from which there is now no pulling back?
Tuesday, October 28, 2008 The Biggest Heist in History
Bush's bailout of cronies has not worked; only banks not needing a 'bailout' have gotten one; the confidence in the economy and stocks have been shattered! Nice work, Bush!
Thursday, October 2, 2008 Bush Proves Karl Marx Right About 'Capitalism' (22 comments)
The religion of the 'free market' became a vehicle by which the Republican party would bestow legitimacy to bigotry, intolerance and authoritarianism. Karl Marx said it wouldn't work and he was right!
Saturday, September 27, 2008 How the Right Wing has Helped the "Leftist" Cause
As Bill Clinton sought the White House, the right wing, the GOP specifically, embarked upon an un-holy crusade to obtain Hilary Clinton's legendary paper about 'leftist' Saul Alinsky. This is but one interesting part of their evil quest.
Thursday, September 25, 2008 McCain Demogogues and Lies About Social Security
The GOP hates Social Security because 1) it is FDRs lasting legacy; 2) it works; 3) there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with Social Security but that a GOP administration will figure out a way to break it and subvert it!
Tuesday, September 16, 2008 When the Sea Walks Over the Land
History repeated in Galveston, TX recently when a Category 4 hurricane struck the island city, testing a famous seawall that was constructed in the wake of the catastrophic storm of 1900. Did the wall work? And why is the the shore between Galveston and New Orleans "Hurricane Alley"?
Tuesday, September 16, 2008 GOP Invents a New Junk Science: 'Galaxy Warming'!
Recently, the NIST came up with yet another theory to 'explain' the perfectly symetrical 'controlled demolition' collapse of WTC towers. Turn up your X-files music. NIST says the towers collapsed due to "unusual magnetic forces"! Occam has surely slit his throat with his own razor! The GOP, meanwhile, invents a new junk science: GALAXY WARMING!
Friday, September 12, 2008 Sarah Palin Denies Global Warming, Says Polar Bears Not Endangered (2 comments)
Sarah Palin was chosen for typical, shallow GOP reasons. It is believed that some men think she's 'hot'. In fact, Palin didn't even know what the 'Bush Doctrine' was. It gets worse. She denies Global Warming and believes Polar Bears are thriving.
Wednesday, September 10, 2008 How the GOP Turned the US Into a Hideous Police State (28 comments)
The GOP has helped Bush turn the US into a police state where the rule of law no longer applies. Encouraged by Bush's totalitarian policies, Police force throughout America indulge an epidemic of repression and police brutality.
Sunday, September 7, 2008 High Treason: 'Pentagon Lied to the 911 Commission' ; Bush's Theory Falls Apart (152 comments)
The many holes in Bush's official conspiracy theory of 911 threaten to catch up with him. Much official data refutes the Bush cover story while critical evidence that would prove Bush correct is missing. Bush put forward a 'theory' for which there is not a shred of verifiable evidence in support.
Thursday, September 4, 2008 Incompetent FBI Merely 'Assumed' Wreckage to be Hijacked Planes (21 comments)
There is not a shred of hard or admissible evidence to support Bush's official conspiracy of 911. Not only is Bin Laden NOT wanted by the FBI, the FBI didn't even bothered to investigate what precious little wreckage was found at the Pentagon.
Thursday, August 7, 2008 Assassinations, White House Child Prostitution, Cover-ups, and Terrorism (44 comments)
The sheer number of political assassinations in America argues persuasively that 'Democracy' never really took root here. Any politician daring to speak the truth while mobilizing a meaningful base of support poses a threat to 'powers that be' and risks being murdered for his efforts.
Sunday, July 27, 2008 The Enemy is Us! (5 comments)
Clearly --Bush is a traitor to the US Constitution, an enemy of the people and of Democracy. Even so, responsible citizens must ask to what extent was American complacency and arrogance responsible for Bush's rise to near absolute power and dictatorship.
Sunday, July 27, 2008 Tased Until Dead: The Epidemic of Taser Crazy Cops (2 comments)
Since 'Taser' use has become widespread more than 290 people have been killed, possibly murdered, by taser crazy cops.Taser use has become an outrage, a threat to the rule of law, an overt violation of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, to say nothing of felony violations of US Codes, and state laws against murder.
Wednesday, July 16, 2008 Federal Judge Ruling: George W. Bush is a Felon (18 comments)
It's official is not an indictment of Bush for his criminal acts. A federal judge states Bush's 'warrantless' snooping on you is felonious. Now --who will indict Bush for his crimes so that we can get on with a trial and a future?
Sunday, July 13, 2008 E. L. Doctorow: "I fault this President for not knowing what death is" (4 comments)
The rise and imminent fall of the GOP has sparked interest in the study of 'evil' --an interest that might have been inspired by Dr. Gustav Gilbert's interviews of Nazi war criminals and Hanah Arendt's studies of Adolph Eichmann. Today --the object of such study is George W. Bush.
Saturday, June 28, 2008 Mr. Bush Goes to GITMO: How the Patriot Act Makes Bush a 'Terrorist'! (5 comments)
Bush may be stuck on his own flypaper! HIS 'Patriot Act' makes it a felony to disseminate false information about terrorism. What has bush done BUT lie --repeatedly --about terrorism. Bush is a felon!
Saturday, June 28, 2008 The Un-American Lies of Antonin Scalia (4 comments)
Justice Scalia spends more time giving TV interviews that considering the 'rule of law'. His decisions are dubious, transparently based upon prejudice --not law. His 'thinking' in Bush v Gore was fallacious and had nothing whatsoever to do with 'law'. Time for Scalia to be retired!
Thursday, June 26, 2008 Why were 'first responders' de-contaminated at the Pentagon? (97 comments)
Pentagon 'first responders' were 'decontaminated' at the Pentagon. The presence of 'depleted uranium' would explain it. If DU was present at the Pentagon, then 911 was most certainly an 'inside job'!
Thursday, June 26, 2008 Release 'Detainees''; Charge and Imprison Bush for Capital Crimes (2 comments)
Bush has been given years to make a case against detainees at GITMO, Abu Ghraib, and the little written about gulag archipelego of CIA operated hell holes throughout Eastern Europe. It's time Bush put up or shut up! If Bush cannot make a case, then he should be compelled to release the detainees!
Thursday, June 19, 2008 Why the Bush Government is Illegitimate (4 comments)
Gore Vidal stated recently that it may take 100 years to right the many wrongs done this country by one George W. Bush. Of the many blows Bush dealt America, his broad front assault upon the Constitutional rule of law may prove to be the most harmful and lasting.
Saturday, June 14, 2008 Limits to Growth and the Inevitable End of Capitalism

Friday, June 13, 2008 Liberty Betrayed (7 comments)
Thirty-five well-researched articles of impeachment of George W. Bush were read into the Congressional record by Rep. Dennis Kucinich.

Pressure Congress to bring them out for a vote to impeach Bush for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Friday, June 6, 2008 'Genocide by design?' Bush Administration Plans to 'Stay' in Iraq for the Oil
Even before the US attack and invasion, the Bush administration was laying the groundwork for one of his most pernicious lies: that the US is opposed in Iraq by terrorists. It was and remains a lie. The opposition to the US 'occupation' is, in fact, legitimate. It is the right of every people to defend a homeland against an aggressor . The US, under Bush, is a terrorist nation and outlaw.
Friday, May 2, 2008 Bush's Conspiracy to Create an American Police State: Part I, Police States Begin With False Flag Attacks (20 comments)
John Dean makes this chilling point: Nixon, at the height of the Watergate scandal, toyed with the idea of defying the high court, but, in the end thought better of it and resigned. Bush/Cheney, by contrast, won't budge amid declarations that whatever may be alleged against them, they can, themselves "authorize" it and make it legal –even after the fact. If this holds, the US is now in a dictatorship --a police state!
Friday, April 25, 2008 Imminent Arrest of Americans for War Crimes? (1 comments)
The Bush administration began working to make legal 'war crimes' long before '911' or the wars of aggression in Afghanistan and Iraq. Legislation sponsored by Tom DeLay would have authorized Bush to attack the Hague should any American find themselves on trial there. Only someone planning to commit war crimes would contemplate such action. It should have been a clue to Bush intentions to wage war for oil.
Friday, April 25, 2008 Why Newt Gingrich is Dead Wrong About Our Rights, Bush, and the Constitution (5 comments)
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has it backwards again. He claims that Bush had to rescind our rights under the Constitution in order to protect them. What utter bunkum, nonesense, balderdhas and BS!!!!!!!!!
Thursday, April 3, 2008 Bush Lies About 911: A Primer (28 comments)
Only the guilty have a personal stake in covering up crime. Few have the resources of state at their command in order to cover up, say, mass murder. Bush, however, could simply order the cover up of 911.

A new BBC documentary chronicles an extensive investigation that reveals evidence that three high level CIA operatives at the scene of the murder of Robert Kennedy.
Saturday, March 29, 2008 The Probable Cause to Charge Dick Cheney With Mass Murder, Terrorism, and High Treason (8 comments)
There is probable cause to indict Dick Cheney for the crime of supervising the events of 911, a capital crime consisting of high treason and mass murder.Dick Cheney supervised precisely that scenario on the very day that it happened in fact --a highly improbable coincidence' that would repeat later in Britain on 7/7.
Saturday, March 29, 2008 A Lie Called 911: Why A Federal Grand Jury Must Indict Bush and Cheney (154 comments)
The co-chairs of the 911 Commission have disowned their report. They don't believe it for several reasons to include efforts by Bush to subvert their work. There is an obvious explanation for the administration's efforts to undermine a complete investigation of the crime of 911.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 How the GOP Will Benefit From Impending Economic Collapse (1 comments)
Republicans benefit from the fact that recessions are class conscious, affecting worse those who can least afford them. An era of highly leveraged US economic expansion and empire is about to come crashing down and swept away. Count on the GOP to make out like bandits.
Sunday, March 16, 2008 All the President's Lies
Not only a stolen election, an illegal war, crimes against the people and the Constituiton, but also the lies George Bush told while taking the oath of office put the criminal nature of this administration in persepctive.
Sunday, March 16, 2008 CIA Holocaust Claims Twenty Million Victims (11 comments)
Worse than Hitler's war on the Jews of Europe, a CIA Holocaust has claimed millions of victims worldwide and creates enemies. It's time to abolish the CIA, to 'smash it into a thousand pieces' as JFK had promised and might have done had he lived.
Sunday, March 9, 2008 Call Out the Instigator; There's Something in the Air! (18 comments)
Bush claims to power are absurd, baseless, stupid! Since King John signed the Magna Carta, no monarch in our tradition has successfully assumed powers that are now claimed and assumed by the Bush/Cheney regime.
Saturday, March 1, 2008 Gulag Nation: Over One in One Hundred Americans Are in Prison (7 comments)
Always eager to call itself "Number One", the US is not honored by its latest dubious achievement. The rate by which the US imprisons its population beats out all of Europe, Russia and former Soviet satellites. Under Bush and the GOP --we have become a nation of corporate/fascist gulags.
Friday, February 29, 2008 Official Conspiracy Theory Called "dogma of political correctness" (12 comments)
Recently released FBI documents reveakubg that alleged 9/11 hijacker Hamza Al-Ghamdi had booked future flights to Riyadh and elsewhere have been called the 'last nail in the coffin' of Bush's 'official conspiracy theory' of 911. But the glaring holes were already obvious.
Monday, February 18, 2008 The Three Irrefutable Facts That Shatter Bush's Official 911 Theory (17 comments)
Self-described skeptic Michael Shermer has fallen for the most outlandish conspiracy theory of them all. The gullible Shermer even denies that it IS a mere theory and has yet to cite a a shred of verifiable evidence in support of it. It's Bush's "official" 911 Commission Report account of a crime, the investigation of which Bush actively obstructed and is still covering up.
Thursday, February 14, 2008 Ronald Reagan is Still Dead! (13 comments)
Needing a savior, the GOP tried to 'resurrect ' Ronald Reagan. It didn't work. He's still dead.
Monday, February 11, 2008 How an Iranian 'Oil Bourse' Threatens the American Empire (13 comments)
That oil is essential to modern economies and traded in dollars has maintained a strong dollar until recently. Now --Iran's 'threat' to trade oil in currencies other than the dollar strikes at the heart of Bush's imperial ambitions. Is it Bush's real motive to attack Iran?
Thursday, February 7, 2008 Reagan was no hero but he played one in a movie (19 comments)
A US president who ranks among the nation's worst is consistently thought by one party to be among the nation's best. An entire party is as disconnected with reality as was Ronald Reagan!
Monday, February 4, 2008 Talk of Imminent War Against Iran Amid an Attack of 'Coincidences' (15 comments)
Middle East internet cables are now known to have been cut --an act that will clearly affect a proposed Iranian Oil Bourse. In the meantime, Israeli's are told to prepare for war!
Tuesday, January 29, 2008 A Genius, A Saint, and SCOTUS Agree: Conspiracies Exist! (3 comments)
The same "right wing" that created an atmosphere of fear and loathing around the "world wide communist conspiracy" would now have you believe that the only people who believe in conspiracies are "tin foil hatters"! Tell that to SCOTUS, which has handed down hundreds if not thousands of decisions about --CONSPIRACIES!
Sunday, January 27, 2008 The GOP Will Have to Steal the Next Election Because They Cannot Win it (5 comments)
The GOP is losing "base". The party's traditional partnership with a shrinking but increasingly rich elite, its partnership with the Military/Industrial complex, it's ideological bent are all factors working against the party.
Thursday, January 24, 2008 Why the CIA is the World's Number One Terrorist Organization (5 comments)
If the CIA is not solely responsible for America's declining prestige, it is among the biggest contributors to the trend. The CIA does not merely inspire terrorist responses, it indulges them itself. The CIA is a terrorist organiation.
Tuesday, January 22, 2008 Why Obama is Flat Wrong About Ronald Reagan (13 comments)
Barack Obama played politics with the horrible legacy left the US by one of its worst Presidents Ronald Reagan. The Reagan years are a remembered for worse inequities, the wort recession since the '20s and for making terrorism worse.
Saturday, January 19, 2008 Bush Think: A Nuclear War Can be Fought and Won! (4 comments)
Israeli radio recently revealed that Bush had promised Israel that the US would nuke Iran. It's a recipe for cascading chaos, possible world conflagration.
Friday, January 18, 2008 How the CIA Created a Ruling, Corporate Overclass in America (3 comments)
The CIA has become the enforcement arm of the ruling elite of corporations, military industrialists, government contractors, and bureaucratic kiss-ups! It is an anti-Democratic institution. Abolish it or reform it! I favor abolishing it.
Saturday, January 12, 2008 Princeton University Reveals How the GOP Steals Election (4 comments)
Elecction fraud is back! And behind it --the work of Diebold, the GOP's favorite maker of junk voting machines --voter stealers that, it would seem,any kid programmer can hack.
Saturday, January 12, 2008 Bush Promised Israel that He Would Nuke Iran (24 comments)
Bush is determined to provoke a war with Iran despite the fact that only Israel supports it. Bush has gotten no support for a war with Iran among European or Middle Eastern "allies".
Wednesday, January 9, 2008 Bhutto Knew Too Much About Bin Laden, 911, the CIA (4 comments)
Bhutto's assassination by gun men was a pre-emptive strike! She might have exposed the CIA as the World's number one terrorist organization. Pakistan Dictator Pervez Musharraf, Bush's man in Pakistan, blames the victim. In some perverted sense, he may be right.
Sunday, January 6, 2008 Why Musharraf Lies About the Assassination of Benazir Bhutto
Benazir Bhutto's murderers were not smart. If their motive was to shut her up, they failed. Before her death, she blamed US policy for creating world wide terrorism. She was right and paid with her life for it.
Friday, January 4, 2008 Another Inconvenient Truth: Bin Laden is Dead (18 comments)
Benazir Bhutto did not misspeak when she said that Osama bin Laden was dead. The implications of a dead Osama are stunning. For one --it means the Bush administration is criminally fraudulent and treasonous.
Friday, January 4, 2008 Fox News/New York Times: "Bin Laden is Dead" (10 comments)
Even Fox news reported Bin Laden's death --but apparently forgot it. The New York Times, on the other hand, has re-published it's original Osama obit of year the 2002.
Monday, December 31, 2007 BBC Censored Benazir Bhutto's Reports that Bin Laden Had Been Murdered (10 comments)
The BBC "censored" portions of Benazir Bhutto's interview with David Frost. Left out was Bhutto's revelation that Bin Laden had been murdered. The "War on Terror" is, therefore, a big fraud!
Tuesday, December 25, 2007 Americans Discovering Themselves in Europe (8 comments)
It is an American tradition to leave America, a trend perhaps begun with the "expulsion" of Tories during the Revolutionary war. The famous "lost generation" congregated in Paris between the wars. Latter-day "expatriates" are still trying to rediscover in Europe those parts not nurtured back home in Indiana.
Friday, December 14, 2007 GOP Front-Runners Run Out of Wiggle Room (6 comments)
While Bush's approval ratings drop back down to his all time low, the GOP front runners are in a hog fight over scraps. The GOP hasn't gotten the memo. It is a party completely out of touch.
Wednesday, December 12, 2007 How Bush is Different From Every Other Worst President Ever! (6 comments)
The list of "worst" Presidents is growing. George W. Bush not tops a new list, his failures are fundamentally different from the likes of Johnson, Hoover, or Coolidge.
Wednesday, December 12, 2007 CIA Obstruction of Justice Designed to Shield George W. Bush? (6 comments)
The CIA is caught covering its tracks and those of an endemically criminal Bush administration. Gen. Hayden is living proof that ignorance is no excuse --especially when is married to arrogance.
Saturday, December 8, 2007 Lippmann: 'Brains are suspect in the Republican Party'
The GOP war against Iraq is not only a party albatross, it is a moral crisis for this and future generations. The disillusionment in its wake will be compared to that following WWI.
Friday, December 7, 2007 A Tale of Two Tyrants
Bush and Putin have much in common, primarily, dictatorship. Ironically, Russians support Putin because they think he won't rule Russian like Bush rules America. They are as wrong about Putin as the GOP was wrong aboutBush.
Sunday, December 2, 2007 It's Time to Flog Our "Government" (2 comments)
The dollar remains a slow moving target, kept afloat by the likes of China which hopes to keep the dollar afloat so that it dump cheap stuff on the American market.
Sunday, December 2, 2007 Why the GOP lies about the economy (4 comments)
Nothing has changed about the GOP. It has been endemically corrupt at least since the administration of Warren Harding. The Bush administration, like the administrations of Nixon, Reagan, and Senior, is premised upon the big lie.
Wednesday, November 14, 2007 How the Right Wing Embraces and Promotes "Magical Thinking" (3 comments)
How the Right Wing Embraces and Promotes "Magical Thinking" The GOP is a like a bowler with a lucky shirt, an angler with a lucky lure. Every failure is wiped out with a single, coincidental success that will forever be attributed to magic. Bush's career is best described as a series of inexplicable coincidences. Truly magical!
Tuesday, November 13, 2007 How Bush's GOP Embraced the 'Science of Lying'
Highly paid consultants taught Bush officials the new science of effective lying at the outset of Bush's new regime. It is no coincidence that new studies show US prestige declining as the world learns the truth about Bush's hidden agenda. Bush "spin" in response keeps a lot of "consultants" employed. It's a dirty job, but the GOP persists in doing it.
Monday, November 12, 2007 America begins slide into third world status (13 comments)
It coincides with the rising price of oil and the falling price of bucks. Three GOP administrations, Reagan, Bush Sr., Bush Jr., have presided over three pernicious trends: a falling dollar, the US loss of manufacturing preeminence, the decline of the US domestic oil industry.
Monday, November 12, 2007 Bush Risks World War III with Russia, China and Iran
Two ominous developments complicate Bush's plans to nuke Iran. One is a warning from Putin that war on Iran is war on Russia. The other: China has a stealth sub that left US brass "dumbfounded"!
Friday, September 14, 2007 Boxer: "The Biggest Foreign Policy Mistake --EVER!" (4 comments)
Sen. Barbara boxer calls Bush's attack and invasion of Iraq the "biggest foreign policy mistake --EVER!" She is right. Bush's war is an international crime, punishable by death yet Bush hasn't laid a glove on terrorism. Instead, he's made it worse.
Wednesday, July 25, 2007 Oil Junkies for Jesus vs the Oil Crisis (17 comments)
The end of the oil era is at hand. There is little point in running for cover. There is none. In the face of a global crisis, two unlikely groups have forged an unholy alliance.
Saturday, July 14, 2007 Bush Cornered --Cannot Stay, Cannot Pull Out of Iraq (15 comments)
House votes for a withdrawal of troops from Iraq but nothing will change. Two GOP Senators call for an Iraq withdrawal. Nothing will change.
Wednesday, July 4, 2007 Declaring our Independence of a Tyrannical Government
This day --July 4th --is forever associated with American independence because Thomas Jefferson had so eloquently declared it. What is often overlooked is the fact that Jefferson declared, in writing, the write of the people to abolish tyrannical governments.
Tuesday, July 3, 2007 Grand Jury: "Can We Indict Bush & Cheney?" (2 comments)
If Congress will not act to impeach, the people must act to indict George W. Bush for numerous crimes to include violations of US Codes requiring the death penalty. The people have that power.
Monday, July 2, 2007 How the People May Bring Criminal Charges Against Bush (20 comments)
If Congress will not investigate and bring charges against Bush, the people themselves must! The people themselves can petition a judge to convene a Grand Jury to consider criminal indictments against George W. Bush and other in his administration.
Sunday, July 1, 2007 Bush Crimes That Will Get Him Impeached, Tried, Removed and Tried Again as a Common Criminal (8 comments)
Watergate leftovers in the Bush administration learned all the wrong lessons. Dick Cheney, for example, learned how to stonewall, lie and obstruct justice. Outright treason he left to underlings who would take the fall for him. More ominously, however, these "leftovers" learned how to pull off a coup d'etat.
Wednesday, May 9, 2007 Terrorism is Worse Under GOP Regimes (1 comments)
The GOP would have you believe that they are tougher on defense and "terrorism" than are Democrats. It's another lie. The GOP has lost every "war on terrorism" that it presumed to fight.
Thursday, May 3, 2007 The Movement to Impeach Bush/Cheney May be Unstoppable (2 comments)
Articles of Impeachment against Dick Cheney have already been introduced. Bush, on the defensive on every front, is more vulnerable than ever. Rather than pressuring congress, his recent veto has backfired. Bush is under fire from the "commanders" that he claims he listens to.
Tuesday, May 1, 2007 A Scapegoat Fights Back
George Tenet has gone public with a book and a media blitz. Every author has an axe to grind, but Tenet is in a position to blow Bush's cover on a number of issues from phony WMD to a phony war on terror.
Thursday, April 26, 2007 Bush is on a Mission from God (41 comments)
Many if not most fundamentalist Christians have believed for some time now that Bush is on a mission from God. Typically, Bush encourages this belief. There is evidence that like all cults, the GOP, communicates to its base in code words designed to assuage the base and dupe the rest of us.
Friday, October 20, 2006 Bush loses Iraq amid "polite" back bench rebellion
It is doubtful that the "Irag Study Group" will effect any meaningful change with regard to a war already lost. Some congressional Republicans, however, may join Democrats to cut Iraq funding unless Bush changes course.
Thursday, October 12, 2006 Bush loses control of policy, Iraq, and America's soul
Winston Churchill wrote that the statesman who yields to war fever...is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events. Bush has succumbed to war fever, losing control of policy and events. More troops merely repeats a failed strategy.
Monday, September 18, 2006 Human Dignity Lessons for George W. Bush who was planning -before 911 -to commit war crimes abroad (1 comments)
Bush would have us to believe that he doesn't understand the phrase "outrages upon human dignity". In fact, months before 911, the GOP Congress was plotting to authorize a US attack on the Hague if US troops were charged with war crimes. Was Bush planning aggressive war, war crimes, atrocities?
Thursday, September 14, 2006 Bush's Orwellian campaign of deception, distraction, and linguistic legerdemain
Bush, at last, admitted to the very secret "torture" facilities that his administration had repeatedly denied. This flip flop, however, has ominous implications for a US regime that it increasingly linked with two words: war crimes!
Sunday, August 20, 2006 The Enemy Within (7 comments)
Terrorism is a real threat but no more so than the dangerous and deliberate exploitation of it. Clearly -the subversion of Democratic ideals is a clear and present danger but no more so than home grown subversion by demagogues. Psychologist Carl Jung may have predicted a time when "incipient psychotics" might succumb to a fascist regime that exploits our fears and prejudices.
Friday, August 18, 2006 How the Military/Industrial complex turned America into Murder, Inc. (1 comments)
The GOP exploits hate and fear because terrorism is essential to the very existence of the Military/Industrial complex. Terrorism can only be exploited in an atmosphere of irrational and endemic hatred.
Tuesday, August 15, 2006 Terrorism has been worse under GOP regimes since 1980
The Bush Administration is a study in failure, waste, and needless death. The idea that the GOP is stronger on the issue of terrorism is, therefore, ludicrous. FBI stats, meanwhile, support the assertion that GOP policies make terrorism worse. Where would Bush be without the spector of 911?
