Is it Later than We Think for President Obama to Do the Right Thing?

Rotten Government Reigns, and Like Bad Weather, We Do Nothing About It
It seems there is a want of sense to comprehend that our current government operates counter to the best interests of the citizens or of humanity, and that those who do sense this apparently lack the integrity and courage to do anything that will result in actual beneficial change.

High Time for a Real Victory over the War of Lies and Government Indecency
The War of Lies now incredibly moves into its ninth year. Actions by the peace movement in protest -- some quite heroic -- have in reality had no consequence in stopping the treachery. It is high time for the peace movement to get beyond its organizationitis and unite in common cause to make a real difference. It is high time for this war to be stopped.

The Invasion of Pittsburgh
The G-20 came to Pittsburgh, and so did an outside army of politzei intent upon stifling the voice of the citizens. It appears they succeeded, by force. One can but wonder what next infringements upon the Constitution are in store for us.

Who Are Our Masters?
(10 comments) There are the ongoing wars 8,000 miles from our coastline. 5,500 of our soldiers thus far killed, and over a million indigenous people slaughtered. We have an economic depression with people forced to leave their homes while trillions of our treasure are gifted to the professional and moral failures who caused it. Who is in charge here? Who are our Masters?

Covering the Truth of 911 Invites Similar Atrocity
It appears that humanity has but two choices: To discover and reveal the truth of 911, or to continue obscuring the truth and invite the peril that the treachery becomes precedent for like atrocity in the future.

Secretary Gates Offended by Photo of Dying Marine
(1 comments) Secretary Gates has expressed his indignation over the decision by the media to print a photo of a mortally wounded American marine in Afghanistan.

Torture Now Good !
Today's Washington Post, under the banner line "How a Detainee Became an Asset," tells us that thanks to waterboarding and other "enhanced techniques," Khalid Sheik Mohammed is now fully cooperating, giving lectures in English as well as chalk talks to his fellow detainees, and has asked for a bible to study in his cell.

Eight Years of Snazzy Signs, Nifty Slogans and Weekend Vigils Doesn't Hack It.
My good and honorable friend, a dedicated and hard working advocate for peace and decent governance, for years a weekly demonstrator and pamphleteer, now is bent upon further exposing the 9-11 treachery with the idea that it will finally spark the citizens to demand peace and decent governance. This is my response to his conviction.

The Rewards for Speaking Truth to Power
Colonel Timothy Reese, a senior American military advisor in Iraq, deserves the nation's respect and gratitude for recently advising his "superiors" to expeditiously pull out of Iraq as a continued presence there would serve no benefit. Then somehow his report was leaked to the media. We can but surmise how Colonel Reese will be rewarded for his courage and integrity.

The Great American Medicine Show
Why has not America moved to a national medical system as have so many other nations who provide superior care at half the cost? The answer lies in the politics, and the masters we allow to control our better interests.

License for Slaughter, Charter for Treachery
(2 comments) Americans now know we were lied into war, and yet we allow the war to continue. We know our government employed torture, but have not insisted that the torturers and their directors answer for their atrocities. And we rightly sense that generally our recent and current government does not represent the best interests of the people. It is high time we change this sorry state of affairs and move on to decent governance.

Dirty Pictures
Our government has 2000 photographs of actions committed in our name. We need for those pics to be released so that we may know what we have done, dismiss the merely naughty, deal with the atrocious, and take action to discourage such happening again.

The Washington Post: Paragon of the Fee Press
(1 comments) The astounding news that the Washington Post was selling access to its owners and executives to private interests was beyond shocking, and is yet more evidence that "truth" is for sale in our press.

Progress in the Despicability of Weapons Systems
(2 comments) For awhile it appeared that all the war-makers had to do was to develop more powerful weapons systems than their potential adversaries. With the development of the armed Drone, however, a weapon which placed no soldier's life at risk, there emerged serious vulnerability to homefront propaganda.

The Enemies of Our Healthcare
(7 comments) The American healthcare system is rated 37th in quality of care by the World Health organization, and its costs run twice as high as the 36 superior systems.

Confessions of an Old Soldier
(4 comments) The never-ending treacherous wars, the torture, the trashing of our Bill of Rights, the dominance of the weapons makers and big money interests, and generally the growing misrepresentation of the best interests of the citizens by our government – have all ganged up on me personally as a disgrace to the uniform I wore proudly for nine years. We need to swallow hard and face these issues. And we need to fix them.

It's a Bird, It's a Plane, No It's CYBERCZAR!
(3 comments) President Obama has announced that he will appoint a "Czar" to secure the nation's cyber traffic. It is not intended, so states the President, that the Czar will intrude into the private cyber world, a proposition one might consider along with past presidential assurances as "We do not torture."

Prosecutions for Torture Unlikely
(5 comments) With no stout champions for prosecution in our government or our mass media, there will most likely be insufficient momentum generated to move the unpleasant process of prosecutions forward.

Better the Pain of Truth than the Cancer of Deceit

Torture: Who Could Care?
(17 comments) Most will agree that torture is a moral abomination. Now in the wake of the President's exposure of documents purporting to justify its employment, who will stand to demand that the torture issue be fully exposed, investigated, prosecuted as necessary, and that means be taken to prevent the odious practice in the future?

Hope and Trust in Obama, or Renewed Vigilance?
(1 comments) With the election of one of their own as president, will the black electorate relax in their traditional and much needed critical evaluation of our government and in the struggle for reform?

We, too, Can "Cut and Run"
(6 comments) Messengers from the same masters who schemed us into the slaughterous debacles of Iraq and Afghanistan now advise that "we can't just cut and run." Well,of course we can, and must if we are to recover any shred of national morality, any respect of the decent peoples of the world, and any redemption in our future history.

A Toxic Plan for Toxic Waste?
(2 comments) The "Public Private Investment Program" works like this: The Treasury provides capital for new investment funds, matched with investments from private investors such as hedge funds. The funds can magnify their returns--and scale of borrowing--by borrowing money from the FDIC and Federal Reserve. Do you think this is a good idea?

Terrorist Threat Revealed!
(10 comments) The Associated Press reports that burgeoning numbers of the homeless are now seeking shelter from the dark and the cold in the nation's airports. And what does our government say about this? Hey, they may be terrorists disguised as homeless!

Treachery and the Stages of Reaction
(1 comments) Most moral and intelligent Americans comprehend that our country has been victimized by treacherous masters for most of the past decade. What we have not come to grips with is what we must actually do to stop the treachery and to reinstitute decent governance.

It's Bigger than Wall Street, Worse than the Economy, and It Requires Anger
(2 comments) Why have we allowed the interests of greed and treachery to usurp our government, beggar our economy, drive us into endless wars and disgrace the image of America around the world? It's time for Americans to get angry and to do something about it.

Countervailing Power the Only Solution (note to an activist)

The Mystery of the Obtuse Electorate
(7 comments) Why do Americans sit on our hands as our chosen political champions continue to fund today's Viet Nam in the Middle East, to shred our Constitution, to gift our treasure on the one hand to the Wall Street millionaires gang, while refusing two percent of that swag to the auto industry to avert multiple millions of jobs to be lost, etc, etc?

Democrats in Full Farce Mode re Auto Bailout
(2 comments) The Democrats hid out when $700 Billion were gifted to Wall Street, but are in high dudgeon over $15 Billion for the auto industry. They now choose to posture as the people's auditor, regardless of the potential loss of millions of jobs and devastation to the national economy.

We Must Raise Our Voices for Our Country's Redemption
(8 comments) The Obama people have shown no evidence of eagerness to address the American treachery of the past eight years. It now falls to the citizens to raise our voices if our country is to regain the respect of the decent peoples of the world.

Make Sure America Gets the Correct "Change," Mr. President-Elect
(2 comments) President-Elect Obama's campaign featured the "Change" mantra and little in the way of specifics. His early appointments leave us wondering if America will indeed get the correct change.

The Bailout Moralities
Other than knowing it is our money that will be given away, we don't know how the bailouts were sized, how much and to whom they will be distributed, upon what justification, what we will get in return, and when or even if we will get repaid. We should know.

Dems Campaign for Their Own Betrayers
(6 comments) It is the Democrats that endorsed Bushco's War of Lies and now gift Wall Street with $700 Billion of our treasure. Why do we continue to trust them to oppose treachery?

Democrat Betrayal Redux?
(1 comments) After the betrayal of our votes in 2006 to stop the War of Lies and to clean up for the return to decent governance, how confident can we be that our votes for Democrats in 2008 will not result in more of the same?

Primary Fiasco
Awakening the interest and the intelligence of the electorate appears to be a bigger challenge than many of us ever imagined. One seriously now wonders about "God smiled when he made America," and is more cogently reminded that "A people has the government it deserves," and if indeed there is truth in the latter, then heaven help this republic.

Peace and Universal Healthcae Unrealistic
Politicians from both of America's major political parties need a healthy dose of integrity and courage to handle the issue of Peace straightforwardly, and then indeed "move forward" (to quote a famous ... uh ...uh ...American) to a solution to Medical Care for our people.

Poem: return flight
(2 comments) The bodies of our soldiers killed in Iraq are flown to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, then forwarded for burial. The mortuary operations at Dover are surrounded by the tightest security, not as protection against terrorism but to minimize exposure of the war's grisly price.

The United States Peace Force
In the face of a treacherous administration, a dithering and feckless Congressional majority, and an ineffective peace movement, it is time for the people to rise to the task to get the peace and to resuscitate the Constution before it is too late.
