Thursday, December 11, 2008 The GOP --a Parasite That Murdered Its Host (3 comments)
The nation must prepare to witness a collapse not seen since that of Rome, we conclude that Bush Jr finished the job begun by Reagan, that is the economic destruction of the United States --its economy, its education, its source of wealth, its future, its security!
Thursday, October 16, 2008 'Great Depression' Lessons from 'It's a Wonderful Life'
Watching CNN leaves one the impression that the US is poised, like George Baily on a bridge, about to jump off into another Great Depression. George Baily owned the local 'Building and Loan' from which he received deposits which he loaned to build homes in Bedford Falls, a symbolic American 'every town'.
Monday, October 13, 2008 The End of the Rule of Law in America (2 comments)
US troops are back home in America to wage war upon the people of the US. New laws make public dissent of any kind --however peaceful --an act of 'terrorism'. Congress was threatened with martial law, literally blackmailed, into passing the infamous and ineffective bailout! The threat of martial law, therefore, is not only in the official record, it is made clear with the domestic use of US troops in American streets.
Thursday, October 2, 2008 The Twilight of the GOP on the Eve of Great Depression II
'This generation of political leaders', primarily GOP, 'have failed utterly and catastrophically to project any sense of authority.' These are the words of a party on the eve of eclipse and the Great Depression II that they will have helped bring out.
Tuesday, September 30, 2008 The Alley Oop Candidate
Palin said "Yes, I have seen images of dinosaur fossils with human footprints in them!", a statement consistent with her attempts to get 'creationists' on school boards. A 'creationist' believes that human beings were contemporary with dinosaurs because 'creation' took place just 6,000 years ago. When we look up into the night sky, we wee Andromeda as it as it was two million years ago. If the Earth were but six
Sunday, September 28, 2008 Bush Proves Karl Marx Right About 'Capitalism' (2 comments)
Unfairly, a bailout price tag of some 700 billion dollars will be picked up by the American middle and poorer classes. None of those actually bearing the brunt of this transfer of wealth will benefit from it directly. The beneficiaries are those among some one percent of the nation who own about 99 percent of its total wealth.
Saturday, September 27, 2008 Obama Wins Debate, Calls 'Crisis' a 'Final Verdict'
Barack Obama seized the offensive and never lost it! Setting the tone at the outset, he charged that McCain had been a 'loyal supporter' of an unpopular President over a period of eight years. He called the current financial crisis 'a final verdict on eight years of failed economic policies promoted by President Bush and supported by Sen. McCain.' We can't afford another four, he said.
Friday, September 26, 2008 Evidence that Bush Will Exploit 'Crisis' to Declare Martial Law (2 comments)
Having spent '35 of the last 60 months' patrolling Iraq armed and in uniform, the 1st Brigade Combat Team has been re-assigned. According to the Army Times, it will perform the same duties in the United States --or, as the Times puts it --"at home".
Wednesday, September 24, 2008 Three Reasons JFK was Murdered (3 comments)
Those who benefited most from his murder are most certainly guilty of it. Qui bono? JFK tried to stripe the power of the FED, abolish the Oil Depletion Allowance, and 'smash the CIA into a thousand pieces'. No President since JFK has dared to piss off so many powerful and ruthless people.
Sunday, September 21, 2008 What McCain, Palin Have in Common with The Third Reich (1 comments)
Albert Speer is credited with having said that Nazi Germany was built upon empty, meaningless platitudes. The same can be said of every GOP 'reign of terror' --be it Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan or, more, recently George W. Bush. It is can said, as well, of the McCain-Palin campaign.
Friday, September 19, 2008 The Prosecution of George W. Bush, et al, for Mass Murder, High Treason (2 comments)
The fact that George W. Bush ordered and/or 'signed off' on that series of crimes called 911 can be proven in court. George W. Bush, therefore, must be prosecuted for the crimes of high treason, waging war upon the people of the US, and instances of mass murder in the US, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
Saturday, September 13, 2008 Who was involved in 9/11? Documentary reveals shocking facts (2 comments)
On the anniversary of 9/11, an Italian-produced documentary called ZERO, investigating the tragedy, is opening in Russia. The authors believe that the U.S. official version of events surrounding the attacks can't be true. U.S. networks have rejected the film.
Friday, September 12, 2008 'Songbird' McCain Exploits 911, Hopes to Become Bush's Third Term
Viet Nam Veterans and North Vietnamese call McCain 'Songbird" because he 'sang' like one while while a POW in Viet Nam. How does that qualify him to lead the US into war against people who had absolutely NOTHING to do with 911? It doesn't. McCain, like Giuliani before him, must be desperate. McCain is running on Giuliani's tried and failed mantra --911, 911, 911, 911.
Wednesday, September 10, 2008 Princeton University Reveals How the GOP Steals Election
Unless something is done, the GOP will steal the next election as well. Unless something is done, this series of primaries means absolutely nothing. The fix is undoubtedly in. Unless something is done, the GOP will walk away with another stolen election, another GOP nincompoop will foist upon the nation his personal and vainglorious ambitions of empire.
Wednesday, September 10, 2008 Sarah Palin Denies Global Warming, Says Polar Bears Not Endangered (1 comments)
Alaska leads the US in global warming! As for Polar Bears --Alaska's entire population of Polar Bears will be killed off by the year 2050 unless Palin's policies are stopped now. These developments are concurrent with the increase of oil exploration and drilling in Alaska. Palin is lying about Alaska, about oil, about Polar Bears and about Global Warming.
Sunday, September 7, 2008 What Terrifies the Bush Administration
It has been asked what this government is afraid of. Rob Kall of OpEdNews made the point that America's most deadly weapons, formidable contingents of men in arms has failed to prove or demonstrate that the US is "powerful" --only that it is, in fact, afraid! What IS it that absolutely terrifies the Bush administration as well as the campaign of John McCain?
Tuesday, September 2, 2008 How McCain's Palin Pick Makes 'Age' Issue Number One
McCain's choice was designed to blunt the age issue. If McCain had chosen well, it might have been unfair to ask: what if the old codger should die in office? Now, it is irresponsible NOT to ask that question. Now --the campaign is all about age.
Sunday, August 10, 2008 Impeachment Won't Help; Only Revolution Will Save America (37 comments)
If you happen to be among the top one percent of the nation, then, Bush has done a fabulous job for you. He's has enriched you and your type. You benefited from 911 which made possible Bush's agenda of aggressive war, dismantling the Constitution, and packing the courts. You should be proud and probably are.
Friday, August 8, 2008 The Beijing Olympics: Another Vulgar Celebration of Greed and 'Corporatist' Values (4 comments)
Over the next three weeks, we will watch a slick propaganda parade of Chinese "sporting heroes". We will NOT see the real Chinese regime that perpetrated the Massacre at Tiananmen Square. You will see, instead, the corporate face of fascism and tyranny.
Thursday, July 31, 2008 Bush Sr's Faustian Bargain with China or How US/China Trade Threatens to Wipe Out the US Middle Class (2 comments)
US/China trade has benefited China and a US elite consisting of about 1 percent of the nation's total population. It should come as no surprise, then, that the origins of US/China Trade are traced to the GOP administration of Richard Nixon. It was George Bush Sr who laid the groundwork for the sellout of the US Middle Class.
Sunday, July 27, 2008 Treason and Conspiracy: How Bush and his 'Material Supporters' Betrayed the Nation!
George W. Bush must answer to charges that he committed high treason and capital crimes, but also those who provided him with guilty 'material support' knowing that they would be enriched by his treasonous, murderous adventures, war crimes and frauds! Bush was not only bought and paid for but he sold his co-conspirators the nation as he sold out the people. There are two terms for this: 'high treason' and 'tyranny'!
Saturday, July 26, 2008 Bugliosi to Congress: "The Bush administration has gotten away with thousands and THOUSANDS of murders!" (2 comments)
Offering the committee incriminating, documentary evidence to substantiate his charges, Bugliosi urged the committee to make a 'criminal referral' to the Justice Department to begin a criminal investigation of Bush and members of his administration to determine whether first degree murder charges should be brought against 'certain members of this administration'.Clearly --Bugliosi thinks the evidence supports not just an 'ind
Sunday, July 13, 2008 Federal Judge Ruling: George W. Bush is a Felon
Chief Judge Vaughn Walker of the US District Court in California has ruled that President George W. Bush is a felon in connection with Al-Harmain Islamic Foundation Inc. v Bush. It's now official that Bush's program of 'warrantless spying' is a crime against the people of the US.
Wednesday, June 25, 2008 The Un-American Lies of Antonin Scalia (3 comments)
It's time the American people fired the man who thinks himself 'too smart for the (Supreme) court'. Scalia has done it again. The architect of Bush v Gore, the disingenuous decision that stuck us with Bush, has stooped to yet another low. Scalia will tell bald faced lies to prop up his bullshit 'opinions'.
Saturday, June 21, 2008 Release 'Detainees''; Charge and Imprison Bush for Capital Crimes
The Bush administration is trying once again to rewrite history and the law, specifically 'the official evidence against Guantanamo Bay detainees'. Typically the legal eagles in the Bush regime have it backward. Bushco should not be given a second chance to fabricate a case when it had none to begin with.
Friday, June 20, 2008 How Bush Helped Establish a Corporate 'New World Order' (2 comments)
'Terrorism' is merely the pretext cited by George W. Bush to begin a series of oil wars that John McCain says may last '10,000 years'. Bush has helped his corporate 'base' create a 'New World Order' in which robber barons of big oil, assisted by 'big media', rule the world and plunder its resources. Bush is their tool!
Monday, June 16, 2008 Jung: Resisting the 'New World Order'
It is said of Swiss psychologist Carl Jung [1875 - 1961] that he was 'prophetic of today's ongoing debate about religion and science' as well as a much older debate about the 'individual' and the 'state'. Today --the GOP has demagogued religion while Bush, the party's flag bearer, has thrown in with 'state absolutists' --Friedrich Hegel, Joseph Stalin, Adolph Hitler and Pol Pot.
Saturday, June 14, 2008 The Blood on Bush's hands (1 comments)
The equations of Einstein and Newton prove Bush a goddamned liar! If an airliner of some 100 tons had crashed into the Pentagon, some 100 tons of debris would have been recovered. It wasn't recovered because it wasn't there! Not even Bush's kiss ups have dared make such a claim!
Friday, June 13, 2008 Gore Vidal: Gore Vidal's Article of Impeachment (5 comments)
Naturally, I do not want to sound hard, but let me point out that even a banana Republican would be distressed to discover how much of our nation's treasury has been siphoned off by our vice president in the interest of his Cosa Nostra company, Halliburton, the lawless gang of mercenaries set loose by his administration in the Middle East.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008 Kucinich Moves to Impeach Bush (1 comments)
Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) has introduced 35 articles of impeachment George W. Bush. At the top of a list of 'impeachable offenses' is "Article I: Creating a secret propaganda campaign to manufacture a false case for war against Iraq."
Friday, June 6, 2008 The Brutal, 'Iraqi' Education That Awaits John McCain
Does victory consist of Halliburton getting all the oil it wants, raising the price of oil to every American still dependent upon fossil fuel vehicles? Does victory consist of a 'peace' (read: occupation) that an American presence is required for 100, perhaps, as McCain has suggested, 10,000 years? I don't think so, McCain!
Sunday, June 1, 2008 American plans to loot Iraqi oil and other Bush war crimes (1 comments)
Though Bush has given every other lie and cover story to justify the US war of aggression against Iraq, the real reasons for the 'war' are now openly admitted. An article in American Daily proposes that the oil fields of Iraq be seized and plundered to pay off America's national debt of some 9.3 trillion dollars. Problem is --that's a war crime!
Wednesday, May 21, 2008 Bush's Conspiracy to Create an American Police State Part VIII: Atrocities are justified with lies, myths or propaganda (8 comments)
Bush is a rotten, transparent bald-faced liar and anyone still believing him is either stupid or complicit. Bush said: "We do not torture!" And all the while, his administration was working to 'legalize' the capital crimes that Bush himself had clearly ordered. What followed was an organized campaign of lies to justify torture.
Tuesday, April 29, 2008 The Origins of the Bush Regime in Hitler's Third Reich (5 comments)
The Bush family transplanted Nazi ideology to American soil where it took root and thrived. During World War II, the Bush family betrayed America, helped finance Adolph Hitler, and laid the groundwork for the creation of the CIA.
Sunday, April 27, 2008 Bush's Conspiracy to Create an American Police State: Part VII, The Government Denies 'Due Process of Law'
When Bush sought 'powers' beyond those delegated in the Constitution, 911 had not yet occurred. When Bush sought to exempt US soldiers from war crimes prosecution, 911 was months away. Had Bush foreseen the vents of 911? What 'forbidden knowledge' or, more realistically, what 'secret plots' had he already hatched to foment a dictatorship?
Wednesday, April 23, 2008 Imminent Arrest of Americans for War Crimes? (3 comments)
The 'net' is abuzz with talk of the imminent arrest of Americans for war crimes -tortures that were ordered by Bush, anticipated by then House Speaker Tom Delay who sought to exempt Bush from war crimes charges. Bush 'lawyers' have rewritten US Codes prescribing the death penalty for specific violations of the Geneva Conventions. Did Bush anticiapte, perhaps, plan 911? What other explanation is there?
Tuesday, April 8, 2008 You Can't Handle the Truth (8 comments)
Two truths denied by nation and media: 1) Bush and Cheney are war criminals; 2) 911 was an inside job. In the meantime, unless something is done, Bush will have led this nation into another bloody, criminal war crime: an attack --possibly nuclear --upon Iran.
Saturday, March 29, 2008 Evidence That the CIA Murdered RFK
A new BBC documentary supports the conclusion that the CIA planned and executed the assassination of Robert Kennedy. The new video and photographic evidence -- the result of a three year long investigation --"puts three senior CIA operatives" at the scene of the murder.
Tuesday, March 25, 2008 The Probable Cause to Charge Dick Cheney with Mass Murder, Terrorism, and High Treason (6 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. Not only was Cheney 'supervising' events that day, both Bush and Rice lied about it to the media and the American people.
Sunday, March 16, 2008 Why George W. Bush Should Stand Trial for Capital Crimes
There is probable cause now to try George W. Bush for capital crimes in connection with the US program of torture at Abu Ghraib as well as the war of aggression against Iraq. There is evidence that George W. Bush ordered this program which most certainly resulted in numerous violations of the Geneva Conventions and the Nuremberg Principles. Federal law makes those violations punishable by death.
Sunday, March 9, 2008 CIA Holocaust Claims Twenty Million Victims (4 comments)
The CIA has committed heinous acts of terrorismm on behalf of an increasing tiny, privileged American elite. On behalf of this tiny, privileged base, the CIA has placed itself above law or effective supervision. The CIA's war on the world has claimed an estimated 12 million to 20 million victims, far more than the best estimates attributed to Adolph Hitler's 'Holocaust' of World War
Wednesday, March 5, 2008 Call Out the Instigator; There's Something in the Air!
A revolution is justified! 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.
Wednesday, February 27, 2008 John McCain's 10,000 Years War
McCain wants to keep US troops in permanent bases in Iraq for "hundreds of years". He concedes that an Iraqi insurgency will likely continue for "go on for years and years and years", possibly 10,000 years.
Tuesday, February 19, 2008 US Cops Go Out of Control; US Citizens No Longer Safe (7 comments)
The US has become 'Thug Nation', defending and practicing torture abroad while, at home, cops run wild and out of control. Meanwhile, Bush predicts a terrorist attack that will make 911 'pale by comparison'. Are cops rehearsing for martial law?
Saturday, February 16, 2008 Bush Wages War on Americans (5 comments)
When George W. Bush said of our "Constitution that it is "... just a Goddamn piece of paper!", he declared himself an outlaw at war with the American people. The Bush administration's culture of fear, hate and contempt for law inspires an epidemic of police lawlessness and thuggery that now terrorizes law-abiding Americans all over America. You can be thrown in jail upon a whim. You don't get to make a phone call.
Thursday, February 14, 2008 Tasers, Torture and Terror Tactics: America Becomes a Police State
Torture and atrocities are not confined to Abu Ghraib. In and out of the nation's 'out-sourced' penal institutions, perverts with badges terrorize the nation, threatening innocent children, , women and the handicapped. Everyone is a target.
Tuesday, February 12, 2008 Of Bush and Evil: The Nature of his Crime Against Humanity
A "state" wishing to eradicate "unpredictability of human affairs" --as both Hitler and Mussolini were said to have attempted -- must make of its own apparatus an inhuman machine utterly lacking empathy. SS members become mere interchangeable parts in a killing machine. Master and slave alike cease to be entirely human. This is the state as machine. Such a state requires its Auschwitz, its Abu Ghraib, its Guantanamo.
Tuesday, February 12, 2008 The Three Irrefutable Facts That Shatter Bush's Official 911 Theory (14 comments)
Nothing Bush has ever said about 911 is true --nor is there a shred, a scintilla of verifiable evidence in support of it. Bush put forward a crazy conspiracy theory about a world wide conspiracy of radical Arabs and incompetent pilots. Not a word of it can be believed! Three indisputable, verifiable facts utterly disprove everything said by Bush and apologists about 911.
Saturday, February 9, 2008 Ronald Reagan is Still Dead! (1 comments)
The GOP must be terribly disappointed in the way things are going so far. Mitt Romney, for example, built his campaign around two words: 'Ronald' and 'Reagan'. The party would make of Ronald Reagan a "savior". Failing live leadership, they would settle for dead heroes and in the end, a political rapture, a "second-coming" of Ronald Reagan! It didn't work. Reagan is still dead!
Wednesday, February 6, 2008 How an Iranian 'Oil Bourse' Threatens the American Empire (3 comments)
Iran's plans to trade oil in other currencies could sink the weak dollar. Bush, meanwhile, promises that he will join an Isareli nuclear strike on Iran. Is Bush leading us into a nuclear armageddon that cannot be won?
Sunday, February 3, 2008 Reagan was no hero but he played one in a movie
Bush leaves in his wake a divided GOP, reduced to summoning up the corpse of Ronald Reagan. A glossed-over, revisionist memory of Reagan is all this miserable, morally bankrupt party has left.
Wednesday, January 30, 2008 GOP Economics: Keep on Doing Whatever Makes You Sick!
You can't understand the Bush legacy until you come to grips with the GOP mentality best summed up thus: just keep repeating failed strategies, just keep on doing whatever makes you sick, just keep on drinking from the poisoned well.
Monday, January 28, 2008 How Ronald Reagan Blew the World's Last Chance for Peace (14 comments)
Ronald Reagan is remembered for doubling the Federal Bureaucracy, tripling the national debt, and ushering in a two year long depression. He is remembered for making the rich, richer, the poor, poorer and all at taxpayer expense. As bad as all that is, Reagan's lasting legacy is his worst and most dangerous. Reagan may have blown the world's last chance to achieve a non-nuclear peace.
Friday, January 25, 2008 The GOP Will Have to Steal the Next Election Because They Cannot Win it (20 comments)
The Republican party is losing its "business base" because its on the wrong side of every issue that will decide the Presidency and the make up of congress. Those issues include the economy, the endless war, ballooning deficits and health care. A killer issue is a fact gaining traction even among the GOP: the GOP is bad for a good economy.
Sunday, January 20, 2008 Economic Tsunami: A Perfect Storm Threatens US Economy (3 comments)
Highly leveraged US expansion, growth and empire are about to be swept away like a bamboo hut. As China leads the world in dumping dollars, the US appears to have exhausted the means by which it can continue to leverage or finance expansion and imperialism.
Sunday, January 20, 2008 Divide and Conquer: Why Obama is Flat Wrong About Ronald Reagan (1 comments)
Barack Obama's timing could not have been worse. His thinly veiled comparison of himself to Ronald Reagan comes at a time when the US is poised precipitously at the brink of what may be the longest, deepest recession since Reaganomics ushered in a two year long depression back in 1982.
Friday, January 18, 2008 Bush Think: A Nuclear War Can be Fought and Won!
The origin of 'Bush think' may be found in a scenario dreamed up at the Rand Corporation at the height of the Cold War. Rand had designed mathematical models that dared think the unthinkable: a nuclear war can be won! Typically, the scenario relied heavily on 'game theory'. It proposed to use 'nukes' like poker chips,
Tuesday, January 15, 2008 How the CIA Created a Ruling, Corporate Overclass in America (7 comments)
The wealthy have always used many methods to accumulate wealth, but it was not until the mid-1970s ruling oligarchs coalesced into an efficient machine. After 1975, it became greater than the sum of its parts, a smooth flowing organization of advocacy groups, lobbyists, think tanks, conservative foundations, and PR firms that hurtled the richest 1 percent into the stratosphere.
Sunday, January 13, 2008 Bush Sucks but Texas Blues Kicks Ass
George W. Bush et al will all rot in hell for ravaging Texas' environment and beating out Mississippi for "dead last" in Education. Texas' outsourced prison system must surely rank among the worst in the world with the the possible exception of Abu Ghraib and Gitmo! Stevie Ray Vaughn redeems the Lone Star. The great B.B. King said of Stevie Ray that he literally channeled his blues licks. And so he did!
Saturday, January 12, 2008 What If Bill O'Reilly Really Were On the Supreme Court?
If Billo were on the Supreme Court, he might harass Ruth Badar Ginsburg as he, in fact, harassed a Fox producer. For case law, Billo might cite Perry Mason or Judge Judy. Justice Billo will dispatch free speech: AN ATTACK ON ME BY THE LOONY LEFT! His opinions would consist of SHUT UP!
Wednesday, January 9, 2008 Princeton University Reveals How the GOP Steals Election (2 comments)
The Princeton video demonstrates precisely how the votes are stolen and will be stolen again.Unless something is done, the GOP will steal the next election as well. Unless something is done, this series of primaries means absolutely nothing. The fix is undoubtedly in.
Saturday, January 5, 2008 It's the Government's Job to Shake You Down
Only the more odious practices that attracted the attention of government and prosecutors. Godfathers were shaking down small businesses, extorting money, collecting regular payments. No fair! Shaking down folk is the government's job!
Friday, January 4, 2008 Why Musharraf Lies About the Assassination of Benazir Bhutto
If you want to find a culprit, look among those who lie about the crime. Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf failed to provide security for Benazir Bhutto. Now --he's lying about Bhutto, his own role, and the so-called "lone lever" theory of her death.
Wednesday, January 2, 2008 Texas: The Gulag Wasteland Bush Left Behind (1 comments)
The Texas Bush left behind leads the nation in crime, pollution and poverty. It trails the nation in education, quality of life, and the environment
Sunday, December 30, 2007 BBC Censored Benazir Bhutto's Reports that Bin Laden Had Been Murdered (2 comments)
When a news organization as venerable as the BBC censors the reportage of a story as important as the assassination of Benzir Bhutto --a highly visible critic of Bush/British policy with regard to the "War on Terrorism" et al --it is fair to ask: who is the BBC protecting?
Tuesday, December 25, 2007 Oscar Peterson's Dream of Peace and Equality
Oscar Peterson had been called by some the greatest jazz pianist ever. He was also an articulate advocate of peace.
Saturday, December 22, 2007 Supreme Court: Big Corporations Can Take Your Home
It was another 5-4 decision in which SCOTUS ruled that big corporations can have your property condemned, redeveloped and re-sold to elites for a big profit.
Wednesday, December 19, 2007 With Bush in their pocket, the Carlyle Group buys the "Birth Certificate of Democracy" --the Magna Carta (5 comments)
Freedom's most valuable document, the Magna Carta, has been sold at auction to David Rubenstein, co-founder of the Carlyle Group, a web of Bush supporters if not co-conspirators. This sale of the very origins of our democratic heritage to the Carlyle Group is symbolic of the GOP sell out to the Military Industrial Complex, the merchants of war and death.
Saturday, December 8, 2007 The Right Wing Threat of Theocracy (1 comments)
Mitt Romney is trying to "brush off" concerns about his public religiosity, concerns about what Thomas Jefferson called a "wall of separation" between church and state. Romney wants to have it both ways, implying that the founders were Christians, that the US was, in fact, founded upon the principles of "Christian religion". Romney's position is absolutely wrong.
Wednesday, September 12, 2007 Boxer: "The Biggest Foreign Policy Mistake --EVER!"
The Iraq war is a bait and switch war that has strengthened terrorism, diverted resources, and weakened the US militarily and economically. The war was and remains an immoral war crime against a civilian population. It is characterized by heinous torture outlawed by every international injunction. Sen. Barbara Boxer speaks for millions when she calls it the "biggest foreign policy mistake --EVER!"
Monday, August 20, 2007 Bush Losing Conservative Support, Faces "historical obliteration"
The Free Republic advertises itself as a forum for a "grassroots" conservative movement. When contributors to Free Republic start using words like "historial obliteration", Bush's hard core should pay attention.
Saturday, July 28, 2007 The War Racket: How Americans Pay for Bush's War Crimes at the Bank, the Pump, the Shop & the Graveside
The war on terrorism is a criminal fraud. War is a racket fought by the masses for privileged elites and big corporations. Bush's quagmire is fought for the benefit of no-bid contractors like Halliburton and Blackwater and financed by America's working poor and middle classes who pay for the war -with their lives abroad and with their jobs, their retirement prospects, and their access to health care at
Friday, July 20, 2007 The Name "Bush" is Enough to Lose You a Court Case
Mere mention of Bush's name may tilt the scales of justice against you if you are the one bringing him up. The "decider" is now so reviled that professional consultants advise attorneys: if you want to win your day in court, don't even mention Bush's name in open court.
Sunday, July 15, 2007 Is This World War III? (2 comments)
We had been promised a different kind of war, a shadowy war in which "evil doers" would be smoked out and brought to justice. Typical of a "bait and switch" administration, we got a quagmire! Promised limited government, we got Big Brother. Promised no "nation building", we got "nation destruction". Promised "faith based initiatives", we got a half-assed theocracy based on junk theology and claptrap!
Monday, July 9, 2007 Texas: Where Every Fascist Worth his Swastika Owns Himself a Politician Like Bush
The GOP looks and acts like a criminal conspiracy because it is one. It looks like a crime syndicate because it's cheaper to buy a politician than it is to obey the law. With Bush, they proved it all in Texas, a "lab" for a future fascist America.
Thursday, July 5, 2007 How Bush Sold Out America
Bush is an ideological hit man for a radical, extremist cabal that hates America and the Constitution. Bush was put into office to pull off a job: execute a contract on the very source of our freedom, the Bill of Rights. Bush's mission: do a job on American freedom, rollback the achievements of the Supreme Court, secure a dictatorship for the blessings --not of liberty --but of big, fat, juicy defense contracts.
Tuesday, July 3, 2007 The Bush Legacy: One Nation Destroyed; Another Betrayed
A war that many thought would last but a few weeks is now in its fifth year. In that time two nations have been laid waste to. Iraq from without. The US from within. The people of the US, meanwhile, are under attack by their own "President", an ambitious mediocrity obsessed with "religio-psychotic" visions of vainglorious conquest for Jesus and Exxon-Mobil.
Monday, July 2, 2007 Bush Wages Orwellian War on Words and Wins, on Iraq and Loses
Bush defines things in ways that ensure he wins. What if the media tired of Bush's stupid vocabulary and, of its own volition, began calling whomever it is that we are slaughtering and murdering in Iraq what they truly are -- "victims of US oppression", "targets of Blackwater operatives", "human sacrifices to US imperialism"!
Sunday, July 1, 2007 It was like watching a baby seal get clubbed, except I enjoyed it
The Existentialist Cowboy made the case that terrorism is much worse under Republican regimes. The Heritage Foundation should have known better than to pick a fight. If you want to play High Noon with this guy, you better have your brother on the roof of the saloon with a rifle, because otherwise you are dead in the street.
Friday, June 29, 2007 The Heritage Foundation Picks a Fight with "Cowboy" Blogger
The web site of the new right think tank, The Heritage Foundation, has taken aim at one of my previous articles with a fusillade of fallacy, distortion and regurgitated Bush propaganda. I am disappointed. Consigning this drivel to the intellectual dustbin is light work.
Thursday, June 28, 2007 Grand Theft Country: How George W. Bush Looted Iraq
George W. Bush invaded Iraq because Saddam Hussein would have lowered the price of oil and would have insisted upon payment in Euros. It had nothing to do with fighting "terrorism" in Iraq where, in fact, there had been none. It had nothing to do with WMD in Iraq where, in fact, there had been none. It had nothing to do with bringing Democracy to Iraq where, in fact, there is none still.
Thursday, June 28, 2007 Poverty Can Make You Get Sick and Die
