Empire of Cards All that our 'Masters of Empire' can come up with is to threaten war. Even that will fail, as will this 'Empire of Cards'---unless---we push out the gang of them and pull back the empire.

It's All Right Ma... I'm Only Bleeding! Many thanks to Bob Dylan's great song of the same name. What rankles me is how so many of my friends, neighbors and acquaintances seem to accept how far down the rabbit hole our Amerikan society has fallen.

The Two Party (One Party) Health Care Shuffle Ok kiddies. I refer to those of you out there who still believe in A) Santa Claus and B) This Two Party System of Government. Why? Well, for those of us who study what is called A) Truth and B) Facts that prove it, no one has ever seen either Santa Claus or this two party system of government being really adversarial on the key issues that go against this Military Industrial Empire.

People are Crazy & Times Are Strange andom acts of murder are on the rise, and not just the fake 'talking points finger pointing' at so called terrorists. No, too many mass murders are committed by obviously stressed out and emotionally disturbed people from a wide spectrum of demographics. It is easy to pin the blame on foreign terrorist groups for the craziness of domestic killers.

Factor out those who are from the class of mega-millionaire$, and the rest of us here in good ole' Americka are simply working stiffs.

Have a Blessed Military Industrial Empire! We can read the history books about the Gilded Age in America (1870s to 1900) and perhaps realize that what we have now is even worse! To sit back and rely on 'blessing' each other or wait for this two party system to come to our aid....

See No Evil... Many of us live in Amerika and truly care about the America that has been stolen from us. The ' theft ' did not occur overnight, no, on the contrary it has been going on for as long as one can remember. This writer could literally ' fill a book ' with the events that have shaped this crime.

Wag the Morons!! During these trying times, for any of us with even an ounce of rationality, please go out and get the 1997 Barry Levinson film Wag the Dog. This satire ( is it really? ) was originally based on the sexual scandals around our president at the time, Bill ' Ignore my smirks ' Clinton. In reality, this film is really a testament to many of our presidents and how they use phony foreign threats to raise their poll numbers.

When Will American Labor Connect the Dots? The private sector and non union (in most cases) workers were fed up of seeing their public sector counterparts getting better benefit packages and wage increases. I call it Innerclass warfare.

Violence Begets.... Amerika has, with each and every decade of my baby boomer's life, become more and more violent as a culture...When you have a nation that uses such violence on so many civilians in phony wars and foreign occupations, the Trickledown effect takes root. Look at how many of our young soldiers return home from using violence in our myriad of phony wars to then become violent to others.

We Should All be 'One Trick Ponies' Isn't it time for this $ 700 billion gorilla to be put back in its cage? Isn't it time to cut that ridiculous spending in half, for argument sake, and use the $ 350 billion to deal with those aforementioned needs we have? Imagine if we get our own economic house in order, get the hell OUT of the rest of the world with our jackboot and its WMD threats, and join in fair and balanced trade deals.

Children (and Grandchildren) of the Silver Legion Where were the resignations from every Jewish member of his cabinet, and for that matter, every member of his administration, if they have even a segment of historical knowledge of the German Nazi movement? How can we ever reach those young white kids who are attracted to such nonsense, if not for our leaders to react with vigor? Evil flourishes when good men do nothing.

The Dark Side of the Empire One of rock's greatest albums is Pink Floyd's 1973 Dark Side of the Moon. This somber, surrealistic album paints a picture of what society has become, both 44 years ago and now. Such is this present Amerikan Empire, replete with our phony wars, excessive militaristic mindset and of course the drive for super wealth by greedy corporations and equally greedy individuals.
