Friday, February 10, 2012 Afghani Kids Still Freeze to Death Die in Air Strikes! Retribution?
Driven Away by War, Stalked by Winter's Cold headlined above a photo of children huddled around a fire in the open. Frigid Temperatures Claim Lives of Children in Kabul, NY Times, 2/4/2012.OEN published an article citing many newspapers reporting children freezing to death two years ago - going on now ten years. Only physical punishment can deter Americans from continuing this and indifferently waiting for God's retribution?
Monday, February 6, 2012 Three GOP Presidentials Commit Crime Against Peace Under Nuremberg Principles (23 comments)
Mitt, Newt, Rick vow to bomb a foreign nation, a crime against peace indictable under Nuremberg Principles, which, when they was signed automatically became part of the US constitution. At Nuremberg, Nazi media personalities were indicted for promoting war. They stood alongside Nazi officials who ordered the wars and generals who executed criminal orders. Note:During Superbowl games the US is usually bombing poor people
Sunday, January 22, 2012 King Who Condemned US Wars Again Betrayed by War-Supporting Clergy's Praise (2 comments)
We have just witnessed the annual birthday highlighted betrayal of Rev. King, with clergy leading the way, a betrayal of what King taught and was dedicated to when he was assassinated, namely, exposing the US overseas crimes against humanity for predatory investments, that were draining away men, money and resources.A review of clergy support of all US Wars no matter how blatantly unjust as if the 1967 King had never existed
Tuesday, January 17, 2012 King Condemned US Wars versus Obama Praises Continues Starts Wars Lies About 'em (1 comments)
Two great American leaders are presented in media as if Obama were of the same mind about his country as King was. In school, everyone under fifty was kept from knowing of King's denouncing his government, condemning its wars for predatory investments. Instant communication technology is making many more aware of the King's last year. With Obama's belief in war, 6 ongoing, fomenting 3 more, investing in WMD. Time to choose.
Saturday, January 14, 2012 King Would Have Demanded Nuremberg Style Indictment of US Leaders and We Will! (4 comments)
When a gang robs a bank, depositors don't go into the street to protest, expecting the criminals to be arrested, tried and jailed. King condemned the massive crimes against humanity that most Americans were not seeing as such. Knowing from experience that the financial element ruling society owned judges on the courts, he limited himself to "everyone must protest!" Why King would have called for indictments is explained
Friday, January 13, 2012 Americans can Choose Between Being American or Human but Not Both Presently (8 comments)
Americans urinating on Afghani corpses, killing for sport, murderous house raids, posing with souvenir body parts? "Just drop out"advised flower children, the Beat Generation Kerouac, black jazz greats, Jack London, Walt Whitman. But Tom Pain, Helen Keller, Paul Robeson, as did anarchist heroes Proudhon, Bakunin, Kropotkin, Tolstoy, Hugo, Zola, and Zeno, Lao Tzu, Mo Ti, Buddha, Jesus refused to choose,fought to end empires
Friday, December 23, 2011 Christ Mass in OWS 'Liberty Park' to Honor Rev. Martin Luther King Pacifism (2 comments)
OWS home, Zuccotti Park, has seen religious observances by all faiths. Christian anti-war activists will hold Christ Mass in the park from midnight Dec. 24 through all of Dec. 25, calling attention to great Americans who acted upon Jesus' message of love and non-violence in opposing their nation's wars upon small countries. King's sermon of anguished conscience, "Beyond Vietnam
a Time to Break Silence" will be recited.
Monday, December 12, 2011 Korean Traitor US Stooge UN 'Terror Council' Sec. Gen. in Somalia (1 comments)
"Dressed in a black flak jacket with "United Nations" stamped across his chest, Mr. Ban met with leaders from Somalia's Transitional Federal Government, a weak, divided and thoroughly unpopular entity that the UN has been trying to prop up." Ban Ki-moon is happy to describe the case of UN war in his homeland in the same glowing terms he describes UN armed intervention in Somalia to prevent an unacceptable Somali government.
Thursday, December 1, 2011 A New Battle Hymn of the Republic for Occupy Wall St. (4 comments)
To be sung to the marching tune of The Battle Hymn of the Republic, which earlier carried anti-slavery lyrics that began, "John Brown's Body Lies-a Molding in the grave." The song was originally a campfire spiritual about brotherhood.Be wonderful if the song could become used in the OWS movement for justice, restoring the brotherhood theme and the fine, pure and lovely intention of of its composer, Bill Steffe in 1856.
Wednesday, November 16, 2011 Occupation Wall St. Targets Stateside Injustice Not its Cause: Imperial Wars (1 comments)
The world has long become used to American exceptional-ism (fascist?), and US disinterest in a relatively insignificant destiny for the non-American population of a US dominated planet Earth. OWS seeks to end injustice and poverty in the US. Will that end America's need for wars that create infinitely more massive injustice and poverty abroad? King taught:"MURDEROUS WARS ON the POOR THERE, BRING INJUSTICE & POVERTY HOME HERE
Monday, October 31, 2011 Imploring OWS to Protect Themselves by Hailing REV. KING'S Condemnation of Wall St.'s Wars
OWS Oakland, anti-war demonstrating Iraq veteran head bashed in during police attack.If protesters had been holding photos of revered US national hero Reverend Dr. King and banners quoting King condemning Wall Street creating wars for "unjust overseas predatory investments while withholding investing in America at home," police would not have had the stomach or nerve to beat and attack with dangerous crowd control weapons.
Monday, October 17, 2011 Unveiling The Monument But NOT King's Condemnation Of U.S. Wars for Wall St. (3 comments)
How do the vibrant with emotion eulogies of King's daughter, sister, son, and two men who held the dying King in their arms (and went on to successful political careers), sound to the demonstrators of Occupy Wall St., when all mention of King's condemnation of U.S. wars and the "unjust predatory investments they meant to maintain" is calculatedly omitted. "Silence is betrayal!" cried out King at Riverside Church in 1967.
Friday, October 14, 2011 Protecting OWS Demonstrators with Martin Luther King Jr. Words and Image
As Zinn did, former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark urges use of Martin Luther King's words and image as the most powerful tool for international unity promoting humanity's awareness of its capability to make wars unacceptable,
AND AS PROTECTION from NATIONAL HERO KING DURING THE COMING WALL ST. COUNTERATTACK, for awareness of his condemning "unjust predatory overseas investments" of Wall Street.
Friday, October 7, 2011 King Would be Marching on Wall St. Where Wars Are Made - Not in Washington
Occupy Wall Street organizers are saying, why complain to congressmen when you can complain to the financial backers they are beholden to obey? Why beg the President when you can make trouble for the Wall Street VIPs that own him? Eventually, a critical mass of the public will awaken to what King awoke to. There is now an international initiative promoting the use of Rev. King's words and his image as a catalyst for unity.
Sunday, September 25, 2011 What Tony Bennett Said About 9/11 Martin Luther King Jr. Would Have Also (3 comments)
Jazz singer Tony Bennett, a W.W.II veteran and pacifist, speaking about 9/11 and American militarism on the Howard Stern Show comments, "But who are the terrorists? Are we the terrorists or are they the terrorists? They flew the plane in, but we caused it...Because we were bombing them and they told us to stop." The Holocaust, like 9/11 has been sold as brought about by one man who made himself powerful without American help
Thursday, June 9, 2011 US Invested Heavily in Hitler Compensated Europe's Jews with Arab Land - Therefore: [Part 1] (3 comments)
Israel is in bed with a US business elite that once heavily invested in Hitler, was itself anti-Semitic in outlook, coldly indifferent and even complicit during the Holocaust its investments made possible. A popular quip in Yiddish goes, "with such friends, who needs enemies?" Arabs saved Jews from Christian persecutions in 637, 1187, 1492. Now Christians are persecuting Arabs. Needed! Jewish-Arab Semitic solidarity. PART 1

Sunday, May 29, 2011 A Nation Always Murdering in Smaller Countries for its Rich Investors Is Evil (8 comments)
During Memorial Day moments of silence to honor those who "gave' their lives, exclude my six bunk mates buried somewhere in North Korea. They would be really pissed, being thanked for dying while killing dirt poor people in their own country because of phony radio, newspaper praise of how we were protecting Koreans from Koreans. 16 wars -same simple-minded protecting people from themselves. Lies re Libya's pro US insurgents
Sunday, May 29, 2011 Ever More Pathetic War Criminal Obama Kowtows to Unity of White Racist Empires (1 comments)
Obama speech before the British Parliament - fawning over the proud history of the savage and murderous white racist British empire that America would emulate. How wonderful for Anglo-American predatory investments, David Rockfeller's embracing the clever idea of putting in a black face to front the American Empire flung out over the neo-colonized non-white majority of humanity (as was the British Empire before it).
Monday, May 16, 2011 USNATO Pilots Having Fun Bombing Libya? No USSR Migs like Vietnam Korea (2 comments)
Fly relaxed over Mediterranean Sea, countryside and towns without fear of meeting defending warplanes, watch your missiles explode below on target, just as calmly as turning Iraqi soldiers retreating from Kuwait into a line of burning vehicles and 100,000 corpses. Bombing Korea and Vietnam not a sport. McCain's example. Nuremberg Prosecutor Telford Taylor would have prosecuted pilots. By contrast bombardier Zinn in 1945.
Sunday, May 15, 2011 Re America Loving Its Trained Assasssins - Seal Clergyman - Bob Kerrey of 19 Fame (4 comments)
A minister fakes being a former Navy Seal in Vietnam to attract a larger congregation. Seal Bob Kerrey, orders a massacre of 18 girls and an old man, receives a medal, goes on to be Governor, then Senator, then presidential candidate, member of 9/11 Commission, President of a University, his endorsement sought by Hillary Clinton. A kind of Clockwork Orange mental imbalance permeates the air the in the U.S. even in church:
Tuesday, May 10, 2011 Understanding Accreditation and Encouragement from Being Targeted by U.S. for Death (1 comments)
Imagine al-Awlaki feeling the honor of having come to the attention of the president of the most powerful nation in history, the arrogant exceptionally wealthy superpower of the world in which half of the humanity it dominates struggles to survive and a billion souls suffer chronic hunger, disease and short life, held. In Yemen held in awe for being considered important and influential. A counterproductive air strike maybe?
Monday, May 9, 2011 China Gave Go-Ahead for Neocolonial Capitalist Destruction of Socialist Libya Why? Part I (9 comments)
China, after indicating it was against military intervention, abstained instead of voting no on a UN Security Council resolution calling for war on the Libyan government with the fig lief of enforcing a no-fly zone to protect civilians - a war by white neocolonialist powers on their former African colony that had raised its living standard to be higher than nine European nations including Russia. The disappointed ask why?
Tuesday, May 3, 2011 "Bin Laden is dead, but the World's Greatest Terrorists are Living Great! (2 comments)
"Bin Laden is dead, but the world is still governed by bin Ladens. People cheer because they thought they saw justice, but this was not justice delivered by victims. This was one killer killing another. I think we need an American uprising, if we're to put a stop to this kind of killing of innocent people. And we need an American Romero, someone like Archbishop Romero of Salvador" who told soldiers to disobey orders to kill."
Sunday, May 1, 2011 Bizarre Adulation? Gaddafi's Son Grandchildren Murdered by Queen's Royal Air Force after Royal Wedding? (2 comments)
NATO has murdered the son and grandchildren of the leader of Socialist Libya, a former colony of imperialist nations now bombing a Libya that had risen to giving its citizens a higher standard than nine European nations including Russia - far and away #1 in Africa with free health care and free higher education. Real reasons for targeting Gaddafi and an orchestrated civil war are noted.
Wednesday, April 27, 2011 Citizens of 48 Nations Fought US Invading Afghanistan (779 Men in Guantanamo) (1 comments)
Citizens from forty-eight nations are against what America does? No, there are citizens of every country in the world who are against the America prerogative of killing from the sky anyone Americans choose to, against a U.S. president having the prerogative of ordering the assassination of whoever and to self-declare a right to collateral manslaughter a well, without having to answer to anyone, not even to Jesus his Savior.
Friday, April 22, 2011 Capitalism's Warplanes: CIA & al Qaeda Destroy Socialist Libya's 53rd Highest Living Standard (1 comments)
An imperative more basic than keeping US backed dictators in power and eliminating non-capitalist regimes is at work in Libya and the Middle East. An imperative that has created all wars. It is imperative for private investment financial capital to accumulate, and to accumulate at an ever increasing rate, pushing the wealthy owners of capital into ever new variations of same ancient conspiracy of the rich against the poor
Tuesday, April 12, 2011 NY Times Works Hard to Prove US Bombs Only Kill Bad Libyans (1 comments)
Though the NY Times, famous for backing every US war in history, has apparently long given up pretending that U.S. air strikes in the rest of the Muslim world do not intentionally include permissible collateral death of women and children (by simply not publishing most of AP wire service reports of U.S./NATO massacres), Libya as a new war, needs to be sanitized and justified as another 'clean' and 'U.S. good guys conflict
Thursday, April 7, 2011 US Depleted Uranium on Libya 10th Muslim Population Generations of Cancers & Malformed Babies (10 comments)
Never much from the Central Intelligence Agency, CNN or the NY Times on the consequences of these wars for the locals, so don't expect to hear much about the effects of depleted uranium on the Libyans now and in the years to come.
No public interest in grotesquely malformed babies horribly deformed and vast increase of cancers where US has massively used radioactive depleted uranium-tipped bombs, bullets, shells and missiles.
Thursday, March 31, 2011 11 Years Killing Afghani Children now Humanitarian Bombing in Libya (3 comments)
Candidate Obama assured everyone that as president he would give the go-ahead for air strikes, even if he knew there would be civilian casualties. For 28 months he has stuck by his guns. US kills civilians in five Muslin nations. Libya - highest standard of living in Africa, Socialist Gadhafi wants to kill his civilians? CNN says so. Really? If so, will air strikes protect more than they kill. Where is the CIA in all this?
Monday, March 7, 2011 We'd Kill those Vietnamese etc., All Over Again Without Blinking an Eyelash (3 comments)
Sixty years of the messy butchering of designed "bad guys' in poor countries is a proud part of the American Way of Life. Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer, Chris Matthews, Jim Lehrer, George Stephanopoulos, Katie Couric, Diane Sawyer, Christiane Amanpour, Rachel Maddow protect this tradition as did Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, David Brinkley, Walter Cronkite, Chet Huntley, Ted Koppel, Harry Reasoner and company reporting on Vietnam.
Thursday, February 24, 2011 If Petraeus is Guilty of Crimes Against Humanity What About Us? (& Obama?) (2 comments)
Gen. Petraeus suggested Sunday at the presidential palace that Afghans caught up in a coalition attack in northeastern Afghanistan might have burned their own children to exaggerate claims of civilian casualties, "Killing 60 people, then blaming the killing on those same people, rather than apologizing for the deaths? Inhuman !" cried an Afghan official. But no more so than in Vietnam or Korea. It's normal in imperialist war
Sunday, February 13, 2011 No One Curious What CIA is Working On at the Moment in Egypt? (4 comments)
What does the CIA have in store for Egypt? What chores will it assign its agents both American and Egyptian? To what degree has infiltrated military factions, political organizations and revolutionary groups to make some "spontaneous' events take place? American progressives and socialists are overly cooperative with mainstream media and Congress in hardly ever asking after our secret CIA shadow government.
Tuesday, January 18, 2011 MLK in 1967, "America is Approaching Spiritual Death!" (2011, America is Spiritually Dead) (3 comments)
Amrica loves napalm.
Obama jokes his Hellfire Predator Drones will gettcha if you're not careful "you won't know what hit you." Amerka loves killing other nation's bad guys. Amerika hails hero politicians who served killing Vietnamese. NY Times, Wash Post called King a traitor, America reads on. Americans want to keep killing Yemeni, Pakistani, Somali, Afghani collaterally from the sky. Our HenryFord loved Hitler & viceversa
Sunday, January 16, 2011 King Would Have Stopped Vietnam and TODAY'S WARS as He Stopped Segregation! (2 comments)
King today, would be fighting against the wars in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen and a war on Iran. Blacks would be in the forefront with him. Blacks are dying in greater numbers than their percentage of the population today just as they did in Vietnam. King would see the war against terror as just as phony as the war on communism, would again denounce CIA support for predatory investments in cheap labor abroad.
Friday, January 14, 2011 Gates Warns China on Its Attempt at Defense Capability US Will Outspend It
Secretary Robert Gates, in charge of wars and preparing for wars, forewarned China against seeking parity with US military (off its coast). Chinese might remember trying to match the US expenditure on WMD eventually disabled the Soviet Union's economy. History of financial crisis causing investors to need war: capital accumulation at home made impossible lowered prices caused by technology advancing mechanized production.

Saturday, January 1, 2011 Another American Happy New Year Just Like the Ones During the Vietnam War
In the new year we will still be killing terrorists in 5 countries. Our media will be patriotically cheering our brave soldiers on, and showing photos of the few dead ones , and solemnly thanking them for willingly giving up living to protect their country's freedom. But its Another Happy New Year, the same Happy New Year as the one after we lost the war in Vietnam to the Vietnamese commies because we are the good guys
Wednesday, December 22, 2010 Carter Had CIA Armed Fundamentalist Terrorists War Against Afghan Women's Liberation & Education (2 comments)
A CIA covert cruel attack on the people of Afghanistan as a pawn in the Cold War gave birth to US backed civil war, 8 yrs of Soviet military intervention,11 yrs of terrorist war lord devastation; 5 of Taliban restoration of peace, 10 yrs of US invasion/occupation war. Who can stop the gunning down of Taliban as if they, and not David Rockefeller's wealthy America, had 9/11 guilt for creating al-Qaida? Jimmy Carter could!
Saturday, December 11, 2010 What China Daily Newspaper Has Been Saying Re Liu Xiaobo's Nobel Prize (4 comments)
Words by Liu Xiaobo you won't hear on CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX or PBS. Like, "After undergoing a hundred years of colonial rule, Hong Kong has become what it is now. The mainland is so big that it certainly needs 300-years of colonization by the West to achieve Hong Kong's progress." "I even doubt 300 years are enough, Chinese people lack creativity, [they] plotted, directed and appreciated all the tragedies themselves"
Saturday, November 13, 2010 Veterans Day! Long Live Violent Death! WMD! and Rule by Investment Bankers!
Disappointment not to have seen or heard of some flying contingent of brave tough members of Veterans of Peace or a Howard Zinn peace activist brigade tussling with pro-war veterans and military officers, seeking to disrupt the praise of war. American acceptance of horrific implications of what is preached on Veterans Day.

Thursday, November 11, 2010 Elections in Burma - US Elections - Unmistakable Similarities
Human Rights Watch' "holier than thou' depreciating description of the election process in a nation long occupied, enslaved, plundered, exploited, its political development purposely stunted by British capitalist imperialism, later by neocolonialist economic shackles. Glaringly obvious parallel conditions, prearrangements, limitations and fraudulent aspects of US elections. Our military's influence and Burma's compared
Thursday, November 11, 2010 Veterans for Peace Must Confront Veterans for War Honestly, Educationally on Veterans Day
Peace activists! Turn Veterans Day into "Veterans Mourn Those They Killed Day!' It has been more than six decades since America fought a defensive war. Peace organizations going along with honoring us veterans of previous wars in poor countries after WW II will be seen NOT to be against war in principle, rather only against the current wars we are losing. We are veterans who know we were duped into "serving' in criminal wars
Tuesday, November 9, 2010 Merchant of Death Obama Sells $Billions in Weapons - Dooms India's Starving
"The Real Reason For Obama's Trip To India: The Sixth Biggest Arms Deal In U.S History." With this sales trip Obama tacitly underwrites the continuing death of millions from starvation and malnutrition caused disease annually. PM Singh accommodates Obama, buys expensive weapons of mass destruction while millions of his countrymen die of hunger. President Obama has made himself a partner in this crime against humanity!

I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism" Gen. Smedley Butler, most decorated Marine in US history! Shall we vote for occupation wars & bailouts so dishonestly against the Greens? (Previous progressive warning: "bomber McCain will continue the wars' )
Friday, September 3, 2010 With Each Cowardly Massacre America is a More Abhorrent Egotistical Place to Live (4 comments)
US Drone Destroys House Full of Children in Pakistan. Six Afghani children killed while collecting scrap metal in a mountainous area. Sec. of State Clinton shrugs, "there's a war going on." No war was ever declared on Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Somalia, Yemen, Sudan, Iran, Panama, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Korea and Yugoslavia - but all cowardly and mercilessly bombed. No problem?
Monday, August 16, 2010 Superpower Democracy Mass-murders Abroad! Largest Democracy Mass-murders its Own Children
US media have never called millions killed in their own homes, by US military during invasions and occupations since Korea through Iraq, mass murder. Likewise, the annually legislated starvation of millions of Indians in the largest democracy in the world, is never called mass murder. India buys WMD, with money saved, seeks to use the market to solve the problem. NY Times fields a question, "Should Food be a Right?
Sunday, August 15, 2010 NY Times Writers Perpetuate Myth of Monster N. Korea Frightening Angelic U.S. (3 comments)
Super patriot correspondents Sanger and Shanker bang the NY Times war promoting drum in their August 13, 2010 article, would have their readers believe that the North Korean tail is wagging the U.S. dog. The Times goes on pushing the fantastic charge of a North Korean torpedo, as if China, among others, had not dismissed it as "not credible." Four OEN articles delineate the Korean predicament of U.S. treachery since 1910.
Thursday, August 12, 2010 Ike's Awful Judgement and Posterity Never Forgiving America'a Nuclear Bombing for Lies (2 comments)
Commemorating the US Nuclear destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is winding down. We finalize our understanding of this unnecessary, calculated, unspeakably barbaric act with the words of Dwight Eisenhower, president to be, Commanding General of all Allied Forces in WW. II, upon being informed of the decision to drop an nuclear device on Japanese cities, and his statement upon hearing the news of the deed having been done
Sunday, August 8, 2010 The American Dream for its Whopping Majority. CHARITY from Billionaires! (4 comments)
Some US billionaires have pledged to give at least half their fortunes to charity. What a nice way to balance out The American Dream for the millions whose wage labor created wealth for a few hundred billionaires. Charity! Billionaires block the US from providing its citizens with the Human Rights that are provided elsewhere in accord with the UN Declaration of Human Rights signed by all, but replaced with charity here.
Thursday, August 5, 2010 "PEACE! PRIZE! oBOMBma!" (step) "HOWmeny KIDSdidjah KILL toDAY?" (repeat in march rhythm)
Remember "HEY! HEY LBJ!
HOWmeny KIDSdidjah KILL toDAY?"
College students chanting it with bloody placards and signs held up for the TV cameras, it was striking! Might not have the same punch today as during the Vietnam War. Today, there is no draft. Secondly, media's hired war- praising criminal TV anchors have done a great job selling the wars, and who want's to shout at a Black man in race problem America. But we could try
Wednesday, August 4, 2010 When the Harry Truman Who Dropped the A-Bomb Gave a Downbeat at the Philharmonic (3 comments)
Harry Truman stood on the podium before the Kansas City Philharmonic. He began to tremble and shake, as self-conscious as anyone might with so many watching. We musicians saw before us a normal and average guy who had been made into the commander of millions and shown how to give the order to drop the Atomic bomb on women and children, how to begin war against the Vietnamese and oversee the devastation of Korea
Friday, July 30, 2010 Paul McCartney Sang Nicely at the White House. John Lennon Wouldn't Have. (4 comments)
Gala performance, Paul McCartney and others stars at the White House. If John Lennon were alive, he would not have been singing to Obama, but at some demonstration protesting his slaughtering in five Muslim nations. What was in the minds of Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, who put their fame and reputation on the line performing at the White House during a time of occupation wars and proclaimed right to bomb anywhere anytime
Saturday, July 24, 2010 Hillary! Vietnam IS a Great Nation with No Silly Egotistical Impolite Sec. of State (3 comments)
Sec. of State Hilary insensitive and insulting remarks in her host's face reminded the gentle Vietnamese of ancient Buddhist culture that young adolescent America, bloated into world empire, is not is "on the path to becoming" civilized nation, a kind nation, a nation capable of some repentance. Long live what there was of American solidarity with the Vietnamese fighting the mass murdering invasions and occupation!
Saturday, July 24, 2010 City Trees Pollinate Asphalt, Concrete! Progressives Try to Reform Capitalism! (3 comments)
City trees are incapable of awareness that pollen can never penetrate concrete. Just so, are Progressives incapable of understanding the uselessness of trying to implant human growth in a political economy based on, and controlled by and for unyielding sterile, machine-like private capital accumulation. Progressives persist as if Einstein, MLKjr, Zinn were as irrelevant as corporate controlled U.S. media has made them.
Saturday, July 10, 2010 Really Gets To Me, Our Killing So Many People in Their Homes! Am I Sick? (2 comments)
US drops cluster bombs in Yemen, kills 35 Yemeni women and children! Many Americans upset? Would psychologists and mental health experts deny that millions of kind and compassionate Germans experienced a type of Post Traumatic Stress as their German armies invaded dozens of nations.Treating sensitivity to the pain of others as a serious malady would make society aware of the cure: halting the use of explosives on human beings
Saturday, July 3, 2010 Bloodstained July 4 Flag Symbol of Falling Bombs Napalm Death for Millions
Many think July 4 is some sort of flag day though proud flag displays are seen everyday everywhere. For many of us against our nation's world wide violence and bloodletting, the sight of the flag is now more than uncomfortable. Not the image not of a dear and beloved nation under attack, but that of a self-proclaimed superior nation. Someday we'll celebrate the birth of the America Ray Charles sang of in 'America The Beautiful
Tuesday, June 29, 2010 Detroit Social Forum War Workshop Seeks to Reform Empire (Preserve Mother Capitalism) (2 comments)
Disappointingly, the US Social Forum workshop on who decides war studiously avoided discussion of the root cause of wars, which has long been known to be capitalist economy's desperate need for war during its now century long imperialist phase. Something socialists and other non-capitalists have come to expect in forums organized by dedicated peace and justice groups dominated my progressive capitalists.
Wednesday, June 16, 2010 NY Times, AP Consistently Leaving Out Debunking Info on "N. Korean Torpedo' Claim
Even capitalist South Korea's major newspapers have carried the friendly-US-fire suppositions re its blown up warship by both a Russian Navy investigation and Japanese investigative reporters. It is difficult to even find having been reported in U.S. media the simple and diplomatic Chinese answer to the U.S. asking help to punish North Korea on the basis of a U.S. 'international investigation' finding. "Not creditable."
Sunday, June 13, 2010 NEVER A SHRED OF EVIDENCE Ahmadinejad's Reelection Was Fraudulent - a comprehensive review (7 comments)
Anniversary of the 2009 presidential election. Two candidates who failed abysmally, Mir Hussein Mousavi, Prime Minister (1981-1989) during the time of deadly persecutions of unionists and socialists who began the 1979 revolution, and Mehdi Karroubi, who finished third both in 2005 and 2009, still proclaim to their followers, to the delight of Western conglomerate media, "tainted hands falsified your pure votes," Some history
Saturday, June 12, 2010 Helen Thomas Historical Outburst Sounded Less Outrageous in the Former Colonial World (4 comments)
For Majority (non white) Mankind living in a world still just as politically, militarily and economically dominated by the Great Powers as when the Great Powers were their Colonial Masters, journalist Helen Thomas' emotional outburst struck a sympathetic chord. That Europeans should stop persecuting non-Europeans. Even if these particular Europeans were once themselves horribly persecuted in Europe for being non-Aryan.
Wednesday, June 9, 2010 N. Korean Torpedo Accusation Fizzles - Strong Probability of US Mine Strike Investigated
The self-righteous scowling countenance of Mrs. Clinton reminded us of a serious Colin Powell pointing to photos of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction trucks, of Adelai Stevenson's photo evidence that planes that bombed Cuba were not U.S. planes, of Robert McNamara on the Gulf of Tonkin attack on innocent U.S. warships, of the John Foster Dulles proving that communists, not capitalists, were out to conquer the world.
Tuesday, June 1, 2010 A Clockwork Orange Memorial Day Praising Those Sent To Die Killing Innocents (1 comments)
Around the world via satellite TV, families still mourning their children watch clips of Americans public honoring US military who fell attacking their countries. No, a millions times No! Celebrating, mourning, let alone honoring your own with parades dying dealing death to a thousand times greater number of fellow Earthlings Americans refuse to mourn, or even remember, is a Clockwork Orange, chilling, inhuman freakiness.
Monday, May 31, 2010 VFP Shuns Memorial Day Remembering of "Enemy' Soldiers Killed by Us
How many tens of thousands of conscience stricken veterans of US wars in small countries can forget faces of "enemy' dead? - finding smiling photos of beautiful children and wives in the caps or pockets of their clothes? How many of us were ashamed to be murdering guys defending their country against our bombing and invasion. Remembering them would shake up the war mongers and challenge lies past and present about our wars
Monday, May 31, 2010 MOURNING THEIRS (ALONG WITH OURS ) VERSUS HONORING OURS & OUR WARS
A pretty slick suckering-in, that military use of the word "honor.' as indiscriminate praise for killing designated enemies of the corporatist governed US, as if they were enemies of the American people. Honoring them as heroes draws a boy in to prove his manhood. Mourning dead military is a turn-off for boys considering enlisting. Mourning is anti-war! Bad for war profits. "Honoring' is pro-war! Good for the stock market.
Saturday, May 29, 2010 A Memorial Day Press Release From Some American Veterans
We will no longer participate in selective mourning only America's war dead. We will mourn all victims of war, the millions of civilians, the hundreds of thousands of our designated enemies fallen in their motherlands, and then, having put others first, as in common humility, will we mourn the tens of thousands of our very own fellow citizens who sacrificed their lives for, or thinking it was for, the good of our nation.
Sunday, May 23, 2010 The Label "Little Eichmanns" and an American Religious Leader's call to Kill Us (7 comments)
Relate the huge public outrage when a Native-America professor lectured us on how many "little Eichmanns" there were in the Twin Tower when the Saudi Arabs flew our planes into them to U.S. born cleric al-Awlaki justifying US civilian deaths accusing Americans of intentionally killing a million Muslim civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, and "most Americans are too busy to care who or how many we murder, even if our own children
Thursday, May 6, 2010 Times Square Bomb - Us and Them and Immoral Criminal Insanity
"What is morally wrong can never be advantageous, even when it enables you to make some gain that you believe to be to your advantage." Cicero (106-43 B.C.) and the insistence that our being morally wrong enables us to make some gain to our advantage and that only THEY mistakenly believe being morally wrong will make some gain to their advantage. Mentally healthy majority Mankind will answer this.
Thursday, May 6, 2010 Will Progressives Back Obama-NATO-Pentagon-Corporate Media or Ahmadinejad's UN Speech? (1 comments)
Only by googling "Islamic Republic News Agency' can one find just the complete text, without denigrating interpretations favorable U.S. foreign policy presently an Obama declared position of possible U.S. nuclear attack on Iran's to date unweaponized nuclear plants."Nuclear bomb, even if produced and stockpiled on the pretext of deterrence is a dangerous act and a false strategy which runs against the main course of security
Tuesday, May 4, 2010 Vietnamese Derision Once the Beastly Merciless US Military-Economic Empire Collapses?
April 30, Vietnamese celebrated the 35th anniversary of its costly victory over US invaders. One day the American capitalist empire, so brutal in economic dominance and so wildly homicidal in its use of high tech military will fall. We will appreciate the Vietnamese not letting the rest of us forget what was done to them in the name of anti-Communism. or to put it positively, in the name and for the urgencies, of Capitalists
Sunday, May 2, 2010 Bankers Have Always Taken the Bread From Children's Mouths with Senators Approval. (1 comments)
Charming TV coverage. Senators scolding the same big Goldman Sachs bankers they gave the public's decently,honorably and hard earned funds to - "teapots calling the kettles black.' If Americans out of a job google Goldman Sachs, they can see Goldman Sachs is hiring! "Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone." John Maynard Keynes
Wednesday, April 28, 2010 If a Superpower Afghanistan Invaded and Occupied a Tiny US Would Americans Cooperate? (1 comments)
If an omnipotent superpower Afghanistan Invaded the U.S., how many patriotic Americans would cooperate with an Afghan occupation and help the invaders kill American bad guys?
Would our Christians resent Muslim armies on our soil? Would we be able to understand and accept the collateral slaughter of thousands of our children and believe the Afghanis were helping America? What if the invaders were Cuban, Vietnamese, or Korean?
Sunday, April 18, 2010 Chechnyan and Middle East Oil Reserves Wars Continue with UN Blessings (1 comments)
With Ban Ki-moon solidly on the side of allowing US and Russia to use war to secure oil resources, the least we can do for the Chechen victims, the Russian subway victims and the future victims on both sides is to inform ourselves and others in order to promote the earliest intelligent negotiations to replace the continuing cycle of deadly war of one type or another. Our duty toward the victims of US oil wars is even greater
Monday, April 12, 2010 No US President Hanged Under Nuremberg Principles Obama Bellicose Bombs On Tempts Fate
Obama is playing out his front man role in the world political economy of America's wild capitalist imperialism.
That we, with all the wonderful ordinary Americans around us follow a fool is lamentable. Those who accept his leadership and encourage his homicidal foolishness are even more pathetic than Obama. If he ever stands trial for crimes against humanity, in the eyes of the world, we will be in the dock alongside him.
Thursday, April 8, 2010 How Many Americans Does It Take to Slaughter a 3rd World Child? (5 comments)
Seven multiple answers to how many Americans are involved in each collateral slaughter of a precious and lovely child made poor and disadvantaged for its country's history of brutal colonial occupation and plunder by industrial powers that continue to exploit it through neo-colonialist financial oppression, then dispatched by foreigner invaders of American nationality.
Monday, April 5, 2010 APRIL 4! ANNIVERSARY OF ASSASSINATION and ANTI-WAR OUTCRY Excerpts - An Obama Must Read
It has often been suggested that we reread King's Beyond Vietnam - a Time to Break Silence substituting Afghanistan and Iraq for each time Vietnam is referred to. But in parts of this sermon herein quoted King speaks to a time beyond the end of the war that brought him to cry out against in aguish insisting a breaking of our silence to demand moral change - one year to the day on which he was shot dead.
Sunday, April 4, 2010 Dissimulating Condemnation of Women Subway Suicide Bombers by Russia, US, China, UN
Amazingly, there is little public outcry that governments, whose citizens have been murdered, continue to meet urban terrorism with the same military solution that has brought about a repeating & unceasing calamity in the first place.
Post-USSR Russia has failed to deal with Chechnyan ethnic drive for independence other than by the most clumsy and indiscriminate use of military fire power within a civilian population.
Sunday, April 4, 2010 Haiti: Clinton's Apology (for Private Capitalist Exploitation of the Lives of Millions?)
"It may have been good for some of my farmers in Arkansas, but I had to live everyday with the consequences of the loss of capacity to produce a rice crop in Haiti to feed those people because of what I did; nobody else." ["farmers"? - perhaps a euphemism for giant Agro-industry corporations]. Clinton is mentioned twice in Randall Robinson's An Unbroken Agony: Haiti, From Revolution to the Kidnapping of a President.
Wednesday, March 31, 2010 Dances With Wolves and Media Praise on Vietnam Veterans Day (2 comments)
After 36 years still Vietnam Veterans Day celebrations. Vietnamese wonder. Praise for killing us? Why aren't they still killing us? Our government is still the same communist led one as back then. Our flag is red. In Dancing With Wolves Kevin Costner speaks in the Sioux language to American soldiers, a perhaps classic sentence.
Sunday, March 28, 2010 China 1980, Germany 1950, A Personal Encounter with Sane Pleasant Mass Transportation (1 comments)
Peak oil, global warming, a planetary absurdity of powerful petroleum and automobile interests retaining the private car as primary mode of mass transportation. IMF, World Bank, IDB fund new roads, but little efficient mass transportation and facilitating the use of bicycles. Corporate media anchors point to photos of 3rd world icy smoky traffic jams as a sign of progress in development. Ah the pleasantries of travel by bike!
Tuesday, March 16, 2010 Roots of War (Capitalism) Not Discussed in "Left'-Right Peace Conference Without Socialists
This get-together, if followed by others, could be a step toward sanity, as long as it does not reinforce our capitalist political system as undebateable, and obstruct investigating the reasons for and pretexts given for wars capitalism requires. As progressives turn to conservatives, in earlier times less war inclined than liberals, so must they connect with socialists, consistently antiwar even when no costly wars are on.
Thursday, March 11, 2010 US Hails Collaborationist Elections Under Its Occupations - Previous Empires Did It Better
The gang of investment bankers running the Military-Industrialist-Complex might research how previous empires practiced colonial democracy . The British gave examples of worldwide efficiently. A study of Quisling governments throughout history (the Norwegian Quisling ran Norway for the Nazis) would turn up techniques more clever than current US awkward and bloody methods of subduing indigenous resistance to its occupations
Friday, March 5, 2010 Capitalist Response To Earthquakes/Hurricanes: Send Troops to Protect the Merchandise!
Katrina, Haiti, Chile, natural cataclysm, extraordinary suffering, devastation, instantaneous news coverage of gripping human tragedy, satellite photography of stricken areas - but the fastest organized moves of capitalist governments beheld are troops arriving to take control local populations to protect private goods and property. No fear of looting in societies in which greed & economic inequality are not institutionalized.
Wednesday, March 3, 2010 Pro-Obama Progressives Acquiesce to Continuing Legalized Human Slaughter, Imperialism, Capitalism
Pro-Obama, "excuse Obama,' "stick with Obama' articles in alternative media! It's a capitalist president's executive orders, especially deadly ones as Commander-in-Chief of US Empire that are critically important along with how imperialist media masks, cloths his intentions, misrepresents them as ours and artificially heats issues into irresolvable confrontations to confound, confuse, distract from the mass murder of war.
Saturday, February 27, 2010 Messrs McCrystal Obama Forgive Us For Not Stopping You! We Murdered Our Children
Forgive our not stopping you from committing another massacre. We who are so many millions of men and women stronger than the two of you in our employ are a million times more responsible and stand as first accused before our grieving Afghani brothers and sisters. We informed citizens, empowered by Peoples Historian Zinn and civildisobedient MLKjr apologize for our treasonous silence, organize to stop the fratricide for $
Thursday, February 18, 2010 Many Are Dying For Our Having Hoped Obama Would Not Practice Imperialism (2 comments)
Obama putting lives of kids in poor 3rd World nations above the interests of Wall St. war profits would have no precedent. Extremist fighters for justice hold those who only hoped Obama would end the wars least as responsible as the US government. Hope and fear are two sides of the same coin. Fear of retribution beyond that of 9/11 is obviously more prevalent than hope that the killing will cease. Hope&Fear substitute action.
Wednesday, February 10, 2010 Palin vrs Obama a Media Concocted Fake Confrontation of Like-Minded Imperialists
US can't rule the world without controlling at home by keeping in citizenry in fear and confusion. An ethical US, confident of its future, could allow for a productive exploration of reality with Obama and Sarah Palin on the same side facing off with empire critics Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders and progressive Democrat Dennis Kucinich. But such a real confrontation wouldn't help the gangsters "divide and rule" us.
Monday, February 8, 2010 Is Pakistan Bombing Obama Worse Than Vietnam Bomber McCain?
In January, Obana's bombings killed 123 civilians in Pakistan. Progressives were silent when Obama pledged to bomb, & argued McCain would be terrible. Obama has taken thousands of lives. Now a fantasy that presidents elected with Wall St. funds make their own personal and independent decisions. One day, an electorate will see what is behind imperialist candidates and reject them both in favor of its own.
Thursday, February 4, 2010 Fascists Were Driven Out of Occupied Lands; So Will US Imperialists. Contrition? (1 comments)
In Germany and Japan, the general feeling is now one of contrition for the atrocities committed during brutal occupations, not one of innocence as grandparents professed claiming themselves co-victims. When all the U.S. troops, ships and planes have exited all the places they didn't belong, will Americans' sense of innocence be replaced by similar pangs of conscience, and shame for the disappointing behavior of their parents?
Monday, February 1, 2010 Someday: A President Who Is Not 1st an Imperialist, 2nd a Capitalist, and only 3rd an American (5 comments)
Obama's State of the Union Address is examined as a weak defense of imperial capitalism from both American and world viewpoints. The challenges that will someday be overcome by a compassionate, uncorrupted American president with plain common sense are described. More Americans realizing that Obama is another president of a country that doesn't belong to them. A world wide American Empire has replaced a nation of people.
Monday, January 25, 2010 That Gift $ Could Have Created a Socialist Bank Like Healthy N. Dakota Has (1 comments)
Nobel Prize Laureate Joe Stiglitz has explained in simple words how the trillion $ given to mammoth private investment banks could have been better used to create a government bank which could more easily, naturally and patriotically provide credit. N. Dakota has the only state-owned bank. 46 states are insolvent, could be filing Chapter 9 bankruptcy proceedings in the next two years. Public/private coexistence is discussed.
Saturday, January 16, 2010 Jeremiah Wright Repeats MLKjr Condemning Predatory Capitalism's War on 3rd World (2 comments)
King's speech condemning the Vietnam War was vilified by the NY Times, ABC, et al as treasonous, Wright pilloried in commercial media as anti-American. Both men base condemnation of violence on love. Both had the same divinity school teacher. Comparison with King's thundering during his 1967 "Beyond Vietnam" is obvious.The peace movement has a charismatic celebrity religiously following in King Jr.' footsteps! Read & Compare!
Tuesday, January 12, 2010 HowToLove CIA, Assassinations, Torture, Overthrowing Democracies Notwithstanding (2 comments)
Mourning families of the CIA killed in Afghanistan. We denounce their commander-in-chief's orders to continue hunting down all Afghanis who fight the US military occupation of their country, despite the unequivocal fact that no Afghani ever attacked America or any other place. Bizarrely a Jordanian physician gave his life to take these agents lives precisely in answer to a previous 'successful' CIA assassination in Pakistan.
Sunday, January 10, 2010 They Hate Us From The Bottom of Their Souls - Capitalists Couldn't Care Less (7 comments)
America's high-rolling bankers, military officials and their obedient government office holding politicians are unruffled by the latest in an unending stream of suiciders who before making their supreme sacrifice arrange to leave behind videos, letters, testimonials of feelings of dedicated rage toward Americans. Ex-Mayor Ed Koch cries "hundreds of millions" want to kill all non-Muslims. But Rev. Wright had it right.
Wednesday, January 6, 2010 Shooting Handcuffed Children. The Word Swine Comes To Mind
Burning an effigy of Obama and the American flag, Afghans have taken to the streets over the execution of children, ranging in age from 12 to 18, who were pulled from their beds by Special Operations forces in the middle of the night, handcuffed, and shot. Karzai demands foreign troops responsible for the killing of 10 civilians be handed over to the custody of the government. US insists that the victims were armed militants
Friday, January 1, 2010 19 New Year Resolutions to Not Accept Clergy's Just War Apostasy Protecting Government Immorality (1 comments)
19 resolutions re Church authorities collaborating with government in violation of "Church and State principle, a principle turned on its head to keep sincere clergy from opposing war publicly by threat of heavy taxation. Clergy embedded with troops should be embedded in the poor populations under under US attack. Permissive homicide is taught, 5th commandment disregard. And evangelists of the sword praise war as purifying.
Monday, December 28, 2009 Air Terror Attack Could Have Been Prevented By Not Invading Iraq etc. (3 comments)
In the air above Detroit, an educated young Muslim chooses suicide to fight unbearable injustice. If the public had been allowed to understand beforehand, what was being planned for Muslim nations that would eventually precipitate the blow-back of 18 mostly Saudi Arabians suiciding themselves on 9/11 as part of a continuing to war on America and its allies, this terror and the terror that provoked it could have been prevented.
Thursday, December 24, 2009 Reject the Christmas Style of a War Criminal President Who Said "Jesus Is My Lord" (2 comments)
Obama dismisses the teaching of Jesus as impractical along with that of Martin Luther King and Gandhi. Is rage arising for the apostasy of Obama and for those who enthusiastically carry out immoral homicidal commands meant to destroy "evil in the world" while murdering nearby children? Many Americans refuse to turn their heads away from the blood on American hands and hypocritically celebrate merrily the birth of Jesus.
