WE ALL HAVE A DIRECT LINE TO JESUS THROUGH LOVE / NOT JUST THE POPE
(10 comments) In the evening of this life ~ it is on love we shall be judged and Pope Benedict has no more of a direct line to Jesus than you or myself . Very soon the Catholic church will be forced to finally humanize Jesus and recognize his deep loving relationship with Mary Magdalene which set the stage for Jesus to claim his own inner divinity: Allen L Roland

LAUREL AND HARDY MEET BUSH AND McCAIN
The catastrophic financial consequences of Bush's illegal war and occupation of Iraq are seemingly unfathomable to an entitled President still in denial and his equally entitled heir apparent John McCain. Like Laurel and hardy, it is truly the blind following the blind: Allen L Roland

MORE MYTHS AND FACTS / JFK ASSASSINATION
(2 comments) Recently, a 3 minute video has surfaced which shows Secret Service agent-in-charge Emory Roberts waving off two obviously shocked Secret Service agents assigned to shield president Kennedy before he got to Dealy Plaza ~ similar to what happened this past February when the Secret Service apparently ordered the Dallas police to shut down their weapons screening an hour before a major Obama rally: Allen L Roland

BIDEN QUESTIONS PATRAEUS / REDUNDANCY MEETS VAGUENESS WHILE IRAQ COLLAPSES
How can the Patraeus hearings be taken seriously when no one asked Patraeus about the massive humanitarian crisis in Iraq ~ where over five million Iraqis have been displaced. It was all political posturing featuring Biden's redundancy and Patreaus's vagueness while Iraq continues to collapse: Allen L Roland

BUSH, LIKE HITLER, IS AN EMOTIONAL CRIPPLE PLAYING OUT HIS ROLE IN HISTORY
(4 comments) The key to understanding George W Bush is understanding his almost psychotic fear of failure and humiliation which causes him to avoid reality at all costs and drives his messianic behavior and agenda ~ much like it did Hitler's in the late 1930's : Allen L Roland

BUSH AND ADVISORS GUILTY OF WAR CRIMES
(6 comments) The only way to bring down the Cheney/Bush administration is to treat it like the crime syndicate that it obviously is ~ and there is now more than enough evidence of abuse of power, crimes against humanity and war crimes. Constitutional Law Professor Johnathan Turley verifies that George W Bush and his advisors knowingly twisted the legal system to institute their unconstitutional torture program: Allen L Roland

THE ONION WEIGHS IN ON 9/11
(8 comments) Only the ONION can satirically take a deeply controversial and emotionally charged event, like 9/11, and turn it into an hilarious video satire where Al Qaeda is deeply offended by the rightful growing suspicion that the White House and U.S. Government played a knowing role in the horrific events of that day: Allen L Roland

COUNTDOWN TO ATTACK ON IRAN BEGINS THIS WEEK
(5 comments) General Patraeus will testify before Congress laying out the pretext for war with Iran.

THE RECESSION IS NOW A REALITY / NOT A FEAR
(2 comments) As Henry Kissinger once said ~ " It's not a matter of what is true that counts but a matter of what is perceived to be true " and both Washington and Wall Street are determined that Main Street not know the reality of our present Recession nor the lies and fabrications regarding present economic updates and conditions: Allen L Roland

MEMO TO HANK PAULSON

GENERAL HILLARY UNMASKED AND UNGLUED
Still unglued by the usurping of her moment of triumph on Super Tuesday by Barack Obama ~ Hillary Clinton is willing to do anything, including blatant lying, to take back the White House for the Clintons in November. Frank Rich, New York Times, reports on Hillary's St. Patrick's Day massacre in detail along with the CBS video clip refuting her Bosnia fairy tale of courage under fire: Allen L Roland

FRANK'S STORY / A P.T.S.D. SURVIVOR CONQUERS UNWORTHINESS
Many P.T.S.D. survivor's eyes are indeed cold and dead ~ for their maimed souls have sunk into the quicksand of unworthiness. Their hearts have closed and they live in the Gray Zone where no light can penetrate and no one dare enter. Frank was such a person. He was a Vietnam Vet in his mid 50's and most of his post Vietnam life had been spent running away from love.

THE WALKING DEAD / P.T.S.D. REVISITED
(7 comments) And so our troops trudge on ~ fighting an enemy they can't see, fighting for an illegal occupation they don't believe in, fighting to stay moral and sane in a foreign country where they are despised and hated ~ is it any wonder that they turn suicidal when Bush extends or demands another tour so that he will not have to face his incredible moral failure on his own watch: Allen L Roland

THE SILENT SCREAM CONTINUES / P.T.S.D.
(2 comments) In 2008, the Military is searching for new ways to deal with P.T.S.D. As many as 17 percent of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans have some form of post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. Nearly 3,300 troops have suffered traumatic brain injury, or TBI, according to statistics assembled last summer. And the lifetime costs of treating these ailments could pile up to as much as $35 billion: Allen L Roland

BUSH'S IRAQ BUBBLE OF DENIAL IS BURSTING
(2 comments) As Iraqi daily rocket attacks pound the supposedly "safe" American Green zone in Iraq, two things become readily apparent ~ 1. Contrary to Bush's continued exclamations, Democracy is not coming to Iraq anytime soon, if ever . 2. Bush's illegal occupation and face covering "surge" is collapsing as Iraqi "freedom fighters" begin a broad and coordinated effort to rightfully take back their own country: Allen L Roland

CLINTONS WILL BE STOPPED BY PARTY LEADERS
(10 comments) It is becoming apparent to many Democratic party leaders that the Clintons will stop at nothing to regain the White House in November ~ even at the expense of the party itself. As such, prominent party leaders, already starting with Chris Dodd and Bill Richardson, will announce their support for Obama which will force the Clintons to concede ~ even before the Pennsylvania primary on April 22nd : Allen L Roland

BUSH AND McCAIN'S LOYAL SUPPORTIVE BASE OF UNAWARE AMERICANS
Drawing on a large support base of unaware and apathetic Americans ~ John McCain has sold his soul to whitewash Bush's legacy of ineptitude and appears to be quite willing to continue policies that favor the wealthy at the expense of lower and middle income Americans: Allen L Roland

THE FACE OF FAILURE / GEORGE W BUSH
(2 comments) With a vacuous and well rehearsed stern face and tight lips, our very own Alfred E Newman launched his illegal war, occupation and oil grab of Iraq on March 19th, 2003 and five years, one million Iraqi deaths and atleast 4000 American 'reported deaths' later has insured his eventual place in American history as our worst president and biggest failure

CHENEY STILL WEARING ROSE COLORED GLASSES
Dick Cheney refuses to see the reality of our 12 billion dollar a month debacle in occupied Iraq ~ claiming phenomenal improvements in security and ignoring the grim reality of over one million civilian deaths, continued suicide bombings and a thoroughly demoralized populace. As such, a third of Iraqis are displaced, in need of emergency aid ~ or dead : Allen L Roland

IRAQ / BUSH'S 12 BILLION DOLLAR A MONTH FIASCO CONTINUES UNABATED
(1 comments) Most of the world sees Bush for what he really is and what we refuse to acknowledge ~ a moral coward masquerading as a world leader.

HILLARY EXPOSED
Greg Craig's memo yesterday officially exposes Hillary Clinton's argument that she has passed "the Commander- in-Chief test" by specifically pointing out that her exaggerated claims are simply not supported by her record ~ and that on the most important commander in chief test of our generation, the war with Iraq, she got it wrong and Senator Barack Obama got it right : Allen L Roland

OBAMA VERSUS CLINTON / REALITY VERSUS DECEPTION
The Bushes and the Clintons are the masters of creating their own reality as witnessed by Bush seeing himself as the decider and Hillary seeing herself as the front runner versus Obama ~ but true reality reveals Bush as a failure and Hillary as a pretender who is willing to selfishly create her own deception, and damage the party in the process: Allen L Roland

BRZEZINSKI ON THE ' WAR ON TERROR '
(5 comments) I have always felt that the ' War On Terror ' was a useful expression created by the Cheney/Bush administration to create a culture of FEAR ~ from which they could manipulate Congress and the American people. Zbigniew Brzezinski confirms that this three-word mantra has, in essence, undermined America's moral fabric: Allen L Roland

BRZEZINSKI CLEARLY SEES IRAQ REALITY / OBAMA IS LISTENING
Zbigniew Brzezinski keeps reminding Congress that we are an occupying force within a sovereign state in Iraq but very few, if any, want to deal with the moral implications of this illegal action. Fortunately, Barack Obama is listening : Allen L Roland

BUSH IGNORES ECONOMIC REALITY OF CREDIT CRUNCH
George W Bush's denial of economic reality is bringing down the American economy ~ just as it has with every company he has been associated with.

OBAMA'S SPEECH AGAINST IRAQ WAR / OCTOBER 2002
(3 comments) Barack Obama in October of 2002 publicly said what millions of Americans, including myself, were deeply feeling ~ that Bush's war was not only unwarranted but it represented a neocon ideological agenda that had nothing to do with the wishes of the vast majority of the American people.

HEALING YOURSELF BY SURRENDERING TO LOVE
(5 comments) What lies deepest within us is a state of love and soul consciousness ( the Unified Field ) which extends beyond time and space and reveals itself in its universal urge to unite.

It also exists beyond lifetimes whereas those who we love deeply become part of us forever : Allen L Roland

BUSH STILL IN DENIAL WHILE AMERICA DROWNS IN DEBT
(3 comments) Make no mistake about it, George W Bush could care less about Iraq or the rapidly crumbling housing market.

OBAMA GRACIOUSLY DEFLECTS CLINTON AND WINS DEBATE
The key moment in Thursday night's Obama/Clinton debate was not the handshake at the end ~ it was earlier when Hillary played the plagiarism card and was booed by the Democratic crowd.

ELUSIVE HIGGS FIELD IS ROLAND UNIFIED FIELD OF LOVE
(2 comments) The Roland Unified Field of love and soul consciousness differs significantly from the Higgs Field because its driving cosmic dimension is the universal urge to unite which permeates the universe. In other words, we are not all floating around in a static and disconnected Higgs quantum field of molasses but, instead, are all swimming in a Roland Unified field of love, connection and soul consciousness.

PANIC ON WALL STREET AND WORLD MARKETS / BLAME BUSH !
(10 comments) George W Bush's ineptitude, arrogance and greed is not only bringing down the American economy, like every business he has been associated with, but also the global economy which bought into and financed Bush's economic pipe dreams: Allen L Roland

KING AND OBAMA / VOICES FOR BROTHERHOOD, LOVE AND UNITY
(2 comments) Unity is the great need of the hour ~ It's the only way we can overcome the essential deficit that exists in this country. I'm talking about a moral and empathy deficit. I'm taking about an inability to recognize ourselves in one another; to understand that we are our brother's keeper; we are our sister's keeper; that, in the words of Dr. King, we are all tied together in a single garment of destiny : Barack Obama

THE NEED FOR A RADICAL EMPIRICISM / ALLEN L ROLAND
William James, profoundly observed that the science of the future must depend upon what he called a " radical empiricism." In other words, our journey to understand the history of the universe, we know , must not depend only on our five senses and our scientific instruments. A genuine Unified Field theory must combine the objective observations of the scientist and the subjective knowing or consciousness of the mystic.

BUSH'S LEGACY OF SHAME
(4 comments) I, as well as millions of Americans, am embarrassed and shamed by the actions and inactions of the most arrogant, oblivious and inept President in our Republic's history. George W Bush is a moral coward masquerading as a world leader and his legacy is a legacy of shame: Allen L Roland

It doesn't get much better than this !

MICHIGAN PRIMARY A SETBACK FOR CLINTONS
(2 comments) Make no mistake about it ~ the Michigan primary was a deadly setback for the Clintons in their determined effort to return to the White House in that two out of every five Democratic primary voters cast " uncommitted " ballots versus voting for Hillary while CNN's election day exit poll revealed that Obama would have won the African-American vote by a 73-22 margin over Clinton: Allen L Roland

EUROPEAN PRESS SEES HILLARY'S N.H. VICTORY AS RIGGED
(3 comments) The American public still refuses to see what the Europeans clearly see ~ Our election system is deeply flawed and the Washington establishment still has no interest in changing a system that can manipulate the true will of the people: Allen L Roland

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR / A VOICE FOR BROTHERHOOD AND LOVE
Through violence you murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate.... Returning violence for violence multiples violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Here are many of King's quotes on brotherhood and love.

HILLARY FACES THE BAD GUYS
(2 comments) Hillary Clinton's crying moment in New Hampshire apparently played well in New Hampshire but won't gain much sympathy in the hard cold world of International politics ~ Editorial Cartoon.

NEW HAMPSHIRE EXIT POLLS INDICATE OBAMA WINNER
New Hampshire exit polls indicate Obama was the winner 39% to 35% on Tuesday and questions remain about the credibility of LHS Associates and their secret vote counting Diebold software used to tabulate 81% of the ballots. Watch the ten minute Princeton Univ video which explains how easy it is to hack an election using Deibold vote counting software: Allen L Roland

CLINTON TAINTED VICTORY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
(5 comments) Voting irregularities in New Hampshire point not only to the previously discredited Diebold Accuvote optical scan but to the distinct possibility that the Clintons, who obviously represent the Washington establishment and the status quo, will do anything to satisfy their corporate interests and stay in power: Allen L Roland

BILL KRISTOL EPITOMIZES DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA
(3 comments) Self-righteous neocon William Kristol being given a weekly column in the New York Times is strong evidence of the dumbing down of America as well as the triumph of ineptitude ~ for Kristol has been and continues to be consistently wrong about Iraq, Iran and the Middle East. Tom Tomorrow's cartoon pictorially provides the evidence: Allen L Roland

CLINTONS STRIKE OUT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
(2 comments) Almost two-thirds of undeclared voters in New Hampshire , who can vote in either primary, planned to choose the Democratic primary, according to the most recent CNN/WMUR poll. Those who were planning to vote Democratic divided 34 percent for Mr. Obama and 29 percent for Mrs. Clinton. The statewide telephone poll was conducted Dec. 27-30, before the Iowa caucuses which means the gap has probably widened: Allen L Roland

WE ARE THE ONES WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR IN 2008
(3 comments) The great river of change is now running and all of us are part of that change for we cannot make the great transition without the true voice of the people ~ and the candidate who understands this will emerge victorious in 2008. Only now can we understand the Message from the Hopi Elders for we are the ones we've been waiting for.

POLITICS OF CHANGE BURIES POLITICS OF EXPERIENCE IN IOWA
(2 comments) In Iowa, sixty-eight percent of the participants in the Democratic Caucus voted for a candidate running on a theme of change. Only 32 percent voted for candidates claiming they were the 'experienced' candidates. As such, Hillary is politically dead if not buried and New Hampshire will be her waterloo: Allen L Roland

CLINTON CRUMBLES AS OBAMA AND EDWARDS SOAR
(2 comments) Obama won big in Iowa as an agent of change but Edwards remains a close second as Hillary's bubble of inevitability burst. An Edwards/Obama ticket would ignite the Democratic party if Edwards can win big in New Hampshire. The most startling observation from Obama's amazing win in Iowa is the gigantic hole he blew in Hillary Clinton's balloon of inevitability.

FISK ON BHUTTO ASSASSINATION
The Cheney/Bush administration's foreign policy is so out of control that it borders on complete ineptitude ~ and Bush's backing of Musharraf, in the wake of the Bhutto assassination, is a transparent glimpse of our global neocon agenda which has nothing to do with spreading Democracy. Robert Fisk, Independent UK, captures the current Pakistan story in all its ludicrousness.

2007 / THE BIG IRAQ LIE CONTINUES UNABATED
The truth of the political, economic and military consequences of our illegal war and occupation of Iraq continue to be shielded by the Cheney/Bush administration and a compliant Press and Democratic party in 2007. Make no mistake about it ~ Iraq is an occupied country and 90% of Iraqis want us out of there as soon as possible. As such, the big Iraq lie continues unabated and both Democrats and Republicans share complicity .

CAN IT REALLY BE THIS SIMPLE ?
One of the simple truths that Einstein observed is that whether you are dealing with time, space, matter or energy ~ the speed of light is inextricably involved. However, it is my observation that whether you are dealing with time, space, matter or energy ~ the speed of light is a condition of state within a Unified Field of love. Can it really be this simple ? Yes, it is that simple !

MESSAGE TO IOWA / EDWARDS IS TRUE VOICE OF CHANGE
(1 comments) John Edwards carries the least baggage and the most credibility in his quest to be the next president of the United States ~ he is also the biggest threat to the corporate and special interests who have found their home in the Cheney/Bush administration. Here is a summary of the Democratic candidates listing their assets and liabilities.

WHEN AMERICA CEASED TO BE FREE
(3 comments) America ceased to be free when it replaced Democracy, responsibility and true freedom with security and then exported it to countries like Pakistan under the guise of Democracy ~ thus beginning the slow descent toward a plutocracy and total loss of freedom . Bhutto's assassination is dramatic evidence of this.

2007 MOST CORRUPT POLITICIANS INCLUDES CLINTON, GUILIANI, PELOSI, FEINSTEIN, OBAMA AND HUCKABEE
(3 comments) Here is one of the principle reasons that Congress barely leads Bush's dismal popularity numbers in national polls ~ many of its Democrat and Republican leaders, even those running for President, are involved in government corruption and have been rightly identified by Judicial Watch.

EDWARDS IS THE ONE FOR 2008
(3 comments) Ron Paul may be the darling of the Libertarians but John Edwards is the only candidate for 2008 who clearly sees the reality of the two Americas and can effectively articulate its consequences. We are currently in a deepening recession and Edward's is the only candidate who can effectively take on the corporate and special interests ~ which is why the major media and Washington establishment are ignoring the Edward's campaign

GHOST OF CHRISTMAS FUTURE IS NOW
The ghost of christmas future is now. Bush has shredded our Constitution, illegally invading and occupied Iraq and has bankrupting the country to the extent of over 32 trillion dollars ~ which translates into about $175,000 per American or approximately $455,000 per American household .

THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS / 2007
To me, now more than ever, the true meaning of Christmas is the celebration of a never ending love. Not the love we think of in desiring or possessing someone else but rather ~ the whole sublime aspect of conscious unconditional love which seeks only the perfection of its object and is, at the deepest level, the underlying and uniting force of the Universe ~ the Unified Field.

HILLARY IS NOT THE ONE
(5 comments) Hillary Clinton is now looked on unfavorably by over 40% of Democrats and over 50% of women. Contrary to general opinion, Bill Clinton is not helping her but is instead reminding voters that America wants change in 2008 ~ not a retread of the Clintons in the White House. Hillary is not an agent of change ~ but instead a cold and stale example of the establishment and status quo despite her current efforts to humanize herself .
