  People make much of 'Building Seven' going down on 9/11. Of course it was a demolition no doubt about it. It is fairly incontrovertible. But it was more of an after thought and an insurance scam — 'the twin towers are gone, might as well make it clean sweep'. It is really not an aspect of the inside conspiracy, since it was only 'pulled' because the Twins Towers were already gone. To use Building Seven as evidence for an inside conspiracy is misguided and only muddles the water, accept as by comparative evidence of pre-planted explosives. The real crime was the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. As the King and Kennedy's' assassinations were a conspiracy almost proved by the fact that no conclusions other than the trumped Warren Commission findings is allowed to be expressed by the mainstream — so it is also true of the 'Official 9/11'.

10/24/07 Bill Maher makes his living via political humor, but can't stand it apparently if someone directs some politics at him — hecklers — Course part of his TV showman's job is to promote books with special guests, in which he was 'one-upped' by the chess player Kasparov, who is otherwise a political moron. Maher is the funniest comedian on TV but has to be 'politically correct' whether he knows it or not. He already got fired from ABC and where is there to go after HBO? — nowhere. So of course he has nothing bad to say about Israel, 9/11 conspiracy theorists are idiots, he knows nothing about American/Russia relations nor apparently anything to far off the reservation. How long did Rosie O'Donnell's last on ABC's The View, when she said 9//11 was an inside job? About an hour — the message is clear. So now Maher loves Giuliani, since heckling is politically incorrect.

10/22/07 Turns out the new Bush nominee for attorney general (Mukasey) — the law enforcement guy, doesn't believe in the law — thinks Bush is above the law in the war on terror. Well what else would one expect from the Bush gang. But the best part for them is he is bullet proof, guaranteed nomination in this great 'middle ages' democracy. He is an Israel citizen, so the vote will be whatever to one in committee, and whatever to three in the full Senate. One may ask who would commit political suicide and vote against him? The dissenters are probably chosen by lot for appearance. And the given reason for this overwhelming support as given by one Senator Leahy is: that he at least answered the questions, which is better than his predecessor, referring to Gonzales. And all this is actually taken seriously by the supposed educated people in America? You bet.

10/20/07 The social community is viewed by the right from the perspective of business, for the true believers, through the lens of the church, and for the Democrats and liberals, through taxes and social programs. These last, talk a good game, but do they ever act on it? Not a chance. If they had that real community spirit they would look up those sin taxes and find out just which of these pays for community programs. They all concerned but do they play the lottery to support children's education? — naw that's for suckers. Cigarettes taxes in many places pay for children's health, but do they take up smoking to actually support their concern — not a chance that's disgusting. Do they drink whiskey where taxes their might benefit social programs? No of course not — are you drunk or something? Hypocrisy applies to most everybody.

10/15/07 So now Ann Coulter is an antisemite. She says Jews need to be perfected. She would also say that everyone needs to be perfected, progressive aren't they all, including Christians. So that makes her not antisemite but anti-everyone who is not perfected, which is the gist of Christianity. But doesn't seem to matter — for like Thor with his thunderbolt, these Jews just seem to love to hurl the antisemite slur at every opportunity. The question being asked now is will she be banned from the American airwaves, because everyone knows 'the US media is controlled by the Jews'. The right wing Christians are the state of Israel Zionist's greatest allies — even if for the purpose of Armageddon. Coulter knows the Israelis need the Christian right regardless — 'cause there seems no antisemitism in Armageddon or to bring on the Rapture — of which the Jews cannot be a part.

10/12/07 From Washington Post — "A small private intelligence company that monitors Islamic terrorist groups obtained a new Osama bin Laden video ahead of its official release last month, and around 10 a.m. on Sept. 7, it notified the Bush administration of its secret acquisition. It gave two senior officials access on the condition that the officials not reveal they had it until the al-Qaeda release. Within 20 minutes, a range of intelligence agencies had begun downloading it from the company's Web site. By midafternoon that day, the video and a transcript of its audio track had been leaked from within the Bush administration to cable television news and broadcast worldwide." So they say all: that it was political — trump/dump for the Petraeus appearance. Or — so say some, a private security agency independent of US security, got a lead on a particular al-Qaeda asset, that is really a CIA front, and by leaking the video, the front was warned out fast before any out-of-the-loop espionage cowboys would spoil the blind. This expediency/incompetence game is getting a little bit old.

10/10/07 Are American Zionist Jews who put Israel before America evil? The logic is that the Nazi's murdered millions of Jews, and to protect all Jews everywhere from this ever happening again, they should have their own country, be armed to the teeth including the ultimate — nuclear weapons, never allow the holocaust to happen again, and to do what ever is necessary to accomplish this, even though if they have to attempt to control every related aspect of American policies it is justified. So though some of these Jews especially in high places are supposed to be Americans, they in their minds are not wrong to do everything in their power to manipulate American affairs for the noble cause of the preservation of the Jewish race.

10/08/07 From 'Think Progress', "House Appropriations Chairman David Obey (D-WI) said today (Oct 2, 07) that he will not report out a war supplemental spending bill this year unless the White House makes drastic changes in its Iraq strategy." Isn't this lovely — lion of the left he is. Trouble is all the money has already been voted out, something like a half-trillion. You might have heard of the Obey ploy. You might not have heard of the half trillion. They all want you to think there are actually two different parties. America is notorious for low voter turn-out. That's because most other countries have multiple parties to vote for — everything from pseudo-conservative capitalists to flat earth societies. In America, there is one party more than a dictatorship, and the two two are sometimes - say these days, most of the time indistinguishable.

10/05/07 Why does the working class hate the Democrats? For sure the Democrats will never figure it out. So they are left help and spineless and cannot stop Bush or the War. So they are going to use the working class and give Bush and the Republicans a Teflon children's health bill. Course Bush don't care about kids in any event, so embarrass the Republicans unless they override the Bush veto and so what: its all really for the next election. So who is going to pay for this health care at least in part? Well poor working class smokers. So if you are a non-smoker and want to help with children's health one should take up smoking. The more smokers there are the more healthy children there will be. The poor working classes may not understand all the political machinations, but they understand that the Democrats always approve of making them pay the Dems pet projects, never the rich, and the Republicans generally always oppose it. They understand that much. And they vote Republican.

10/03/07 Hilary or any presidential candidate has to raise what now 500 million bucks to have any chance. Who can afford to give this kind of money except entities that have a lot of it. To raise that kind of money, Hilary or the rest must tell and promise money to what money wants to hear. To get elected by the general electorate Hillary or the rest must tell the voters what they want to hear, which conflicts with the money masters. So Hillary et al has to have two different stories, one for the money and one for not. Obviously then someone has to be lied to, money or the electorate. So we come to find that the new Democratic congress same as the old Republican congress. So who got lied to? And who will continue to get lied to? That is the diabolical thing about American big money democracy — very few can be politicians without being liars. The best liar wins.

10/01/07 Finally something they can really get mad about — a really bad regime. Course most of them can say nothing about the Israeli oppression of the Palestinians so here is a chance to pound their chests like Tiananmen Square — prove what great human rights advocates they are. Oh ain't it great to be alive. Course most aren't smart enough to know the the US is in there trying to overthrow the generals, so the US can turn it into a capitalist Shangri-La like they want to do Cuba, in the likeness of the 'Bremer Mandates' for Iraq, and build bases for the encirclement of China and etc. empire. And China and India are there as well trying to prevent that, and for their own purposes. MoveOnOrg is tough on the Burma Generals, so easy 5 thousand miles away. Let's see if they get tough on Israel or the Democratic Party, that just gave them shaft for their portray-us ad. Don't hold your easel.

09/29/07 On Sept. 24th the news came out that Bush was giving advice to the democratic presidential candidates. "Don’t get yourself too locked in where you stand right now. If you end up sitting where I sit, things could change dramatically.", advised Bush. And whatcha know, verily repeated almost verbatim two days later, in a presidential Democratic debate, each of the front runners, Hilary, Barack and Edwards said exactly that — like 'Mancherian Candidates', brainwashed with stoolaid. No they may not remove the troops by even 2013. They have an embassy to protect. And Hilary who said if she had known, would NEVER have given Bush authority to attack Iraq, just voted to give Bush the authority to attack Iran (the Lieberman/Knesset amendment on Quds Force). This stuff must be scripted on planet Mongo by Ming the Merciless.

art

09/28/07 Course they have to demonize Ahmadinejad. He believes in God. Ah but not their God — dah. He believes in a monotheistic God. But it is not their God — Ga - ga. He believes in peace and Iran has attacked and occupied nobody — while the US is at war in two countries and trying to start a third — the devil. He doesn't believe in the occupation of countries — while the US occupies two foreign countries and their allies the Israelis occupies Palestine — the demon. He believes in self-determination while the US Senate divides up Iraq into three fiefdoms — the Satan. And where was the US and Israeli delegations during Ahmadinejad's UN speech? The slime slithered out and was nowhere to be seen, because if they actually heard the truth they would what — turn to stone.

09/26/07 Suddenly the Republicans love Hilary. They even let her on — unprecedented, all by herself for maybe the first time — count 'em, all 5 major networks, Sunday morning moron hour. And of course Hilary has figured out how to get elected president. If the media likes her, how can she lose? So what's different all of a sudden? Must be her health care program she just announced last week. And what would the Republicans love about her new health care program? She wants to make it mandatory that every citizen must by law, buy the product the private for profit health industry is selling. Ca Ching - Jackpot$ Now if she mandates war with Iran, she gets the military industrial complex and Israel on her side. And if she promise the communications networks unlimited market share and control of the Internet — walla our first woman president.

09/24/07 They can't stand the truth. They hate it, they kill it, they do everything they can to squelch it. They must stomp MoveOnOrg and smash it into the muck and mire. So they pull out all the stops. They have got to make MoveOnOrg apologize for telling the truth. They have to make them bow before the powers of evil that be. They cannot allow a grass roots movement of truth. They will use all manor of bugaboo, hate, smear, indignation and denigration. 'Poor darlings — just commoners ya know — can't be expected to know what they're doing.' That's what they do. They browbeat and humiliated 22 Democratic Senators, who allowed themselves to be made to kiss the ass of lies. Time to dump the Dems. Time to throw support behind Kucinich and Paul and screw whether they can win or not. Be honorable and vote honorable. Vote for a winner and vote for liars and political expediency, and the devil take the grassroots.

art

09/21/07 "MoveOn.org political advertisement that criticized the top US commander in Iraq was "disgusting," President Bush said Thursday, accusing Democrats of being afraid to criticize the anti-war group." Now if Bush thinks something is disgusting it must be great. Bush and his minions get to lie without end. When someone tells the truth — its disgusting. Yes truth is disgusting to liars and criminals. Seems MoveOn has been pretty moderate all these years, believing in the progressive mantra, of promoting the lesser of two evils to make for a lesser evil US. "The Senate voted Thursday to condemn an advertisement by the liberal anti-war group MoveOn.org that accused the top military commander in Iraq of betrayal." So now the Senate votes against truth. Hurray for MoveOn for finally getting involved in the showing of hands — as to what stinking liars and criminal reprobates the establishment is.

09/19/07 "The nomination of retired Judge Michael Mukasey for attorney general drew praise from Democrats and may help overcome some of the enmity left behind by former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales", from CNN. What will never be said is that the vote in the senate on this guy will be whatever for and zero against, because he is a dual US, Israeli citizen. This is a beauty. The Democrats now claim they have won in their wars with the White House, that Bush has caved and given the Dems an independent Attorney General. The Dems can now end their Justice Department investigations, because all is now well and good — when the truth is the Dems have no choice whatsoever, and have to vote for a dual US, Israeli citizen, or be called antisemite and targeted for defeat in the next election by AIPAC.

09/10/07 They sure do pull out all the stops to get their 5 billion to keep the war going. Now they pulled bin laden out of the grave — to what scare congress into dropping our wallets. Getting so their propaganda is so obvious. They don't even hardly care to conceal the pretense anymore. Must be that no matter how obvious they get — they get away with it — apparently because the congress and the media will say nothing. Bin Laden shows up just in time to help Bush win the '04 election — how convenient. And now with his fake beard and bulbous nose, what so fake it could not be a fake, he shows up to pump up the 'Surge', sounding like — there is no difference between him and lefty Democrats. Crafty guy.

09/07/07 Right on cue, in the run up to the congressional 'dog and pony show', for more funding of the Iraq debacle, Katie Couric shows up in Iraq for the first time, to tell — oh how swimmingly everything is going in Iraq. Got to love those scenes with the US any-officer, telling Katie in the street, how the surge is working and there is such progress, with scenes of total rubble in the background. Yes — has one ever seen such up-beat — prey-tell uplifting news. Well Katie on the 'Today Show' for all those years, sold every product known to humanity, and now she has reached the pinnacle of US salesmanship. She sells lies. This was all made possible with the setup character assassination of Dan Rather, and the old tradition of half-truth news so outmoded today, replaced by pure propaganda.

09/02/07 If Bush attacks Iran it can be called the Bush/Pelosi war. She could have approved an amendment to the floor, that would have made Bush get the approval of congress before an attack on Iran at the behest of Israel, but she removed it from consideration. But at the same time she cannot manage anything of this sort when it comes to — start winding down the war. Too bad. The face of pure evil, few seem to know the visage. Look at the face of Bush and Cheney, look at the faces of all those who advocate more war, death, slaughter, genocide, rape and murder like Glen Beck, the Christian Zionists and now Pelosi by insipid machinations. And yes on one level they are all very nice. But on the other side they are all so awesomely stupid, the black hole from which all evil proceeds.

08/27/07 The copyright conundrum — too bad the carpenter — cannot get a fee for every time the door that they constructed is used. Would think that ten years of copyright would be enough to make someone rich, you only get eighteen years for inventions that may save millions of lives, while 80 years for a cartoon. Who owns the cartoons but the corporations. Who are the copyright laws for but them. And even when you buy their copyrighted product, thus it is yours, they do not want you sharing it, thus in affect you do not own it, but have rented it. The Internet has made it so anyone can steal/share copyrighted material. The solution is simple: those who use copyrighted material for commercial purposes should pay a kickback to the originator. Those who use it purely for non commercial purposes or nonprofit sharing should not, which is roughly the way it is working now, a socialist/capitalist mix. Course the corporations don't much care for socialism, bad for the bottom line.

08/24/07 As suggested 12/01/06 farfetched — a scenario for the Sunni control of Iraq, as the only option for the US empire, seemed fairly ridiculous at the time — but now seems to be coming to pass. It wasn't that difficult as it turns out. Just had to turn the Shia into al-Qaeda and Iranian backed, armed and trained. Course this trick is simpleton to the max, but hey whose gonna say anything, certainly not the media that is owned by propagandists who control idiots paid to compress the brains of the simpletonian masses. So the plan as now stands, seems to be to replace the Shia Maliki with a Sunni ex-Bathist and CIA shill, Iyad Allawi, an empire sanctioned strategy it can be guessed when Hilbill Clinton and Carl Levin the duel citizen Israeli endorse it. Got to admit — anything is possible in these modern times.

08/22/07 Crunch time for the Democrats come September, when the General Betrayus will tell us all how the surge is working, albeit of course problems persist, but with a little more time..... And then comes the more money that has to be voted on. Yes and what the Democrats gonna do. They are in a bind. The congress popularity rating is now at 18%. So dumb, they don't get it — is because they have refused to do what they were elected to do and end the damn war. If they vote the money they may well lose the next election. So if some are dimly aware of the connection, they must be trying their little brains working out some formula for voting the money, but seeming independent and responsible, and something the '08 electorate would vote for. Good luck.

08/21/07 Actually saw Rove on TV, 'Meet The Press', soon to become a CNN analyst no doubt, and lasted about the same as for Bush — about 5 minutes. Took that long to realize he is not smarter than Bush. Rather he is just as dumb. People call him a genius. Yea that's the establishment simps. He is not smarter, in fact just as dumb as dirt — he just doesn't play by the rules. He wins so he is smart, when really he is just a moral and ethical slime ball. All the players abide by the rules accept his side. He corks the bats, spits on the ball, runs from first to third over the pitchers mound, drugs the umpire, and the play by play is in on the fix, and never say a word. What — is it the lower middle class that considers that smart, because the class attitude is anyway — it's all trumped against us to begin by the higher ups, so lets do what it takes. That'll fix 'em.

08/10/07 The Right Wing Likud leadership in Israel has no interest in any peace deal with the Palestinians. They want the whole of Palestine — end of story, it is no secret. So now we get all the usual trappings of peace overtures historic meetings, shuttle diplomacy ad nauseam, just like all the chatter and terror warnings just before a vote in congress on some illegal outrage against the US constitution. Now Iran is killing oh 'x' number of US soldiers per day. And what does it all add up too? An 80 billion dollar arms deal forged by the merchants of death for peace. And with 50 billion for Israel, and the US congress and extension of the Israeli Knesset — it is a done deal. If there is one thing that the US can still produce — it is the great American swindle.

08/08/07 You in Baghdad who only suffer more than Palestinians, you who bear 115 degree heat with what — one hour of water and electricity, if that a day, and finally falling asleep in 90 degree heat of the early morning hours, to be woken again and again by American helicopters and jet planes, we the American people sympathize with you. How could we not. You see we too have been subjected to awful blackouts. We have not heard a word about Iraq for two weeks. We have heard nothing for 24 hours a day, but broken bridges, trapped miners and LA car chases. Understand that we too suffer horribly in the ignorance and uncaring of your plight.

08/06/07 Yes there is a big difference between the Democrats and Republicans. Obama would not use nukes he says under any circumstances, however he would attack anyone, anywhere for any reason. So there it is — he probably doesn't know that the top tiers of the CIA don't work for the American people; they work for the ruling classes and the Empire. Listen to him spout about the war on terrorism. He doesn't seem to realize that the 'war on error' is a contrivance to profit, for capitalist gangsters to rip off the US tax payer. So when they say to Obama we have to attack and we have to do it now — what does Obama know? Probably nothing — so it's a go. And for Hillary — she will do it with nukes — so she says. My what choices we have, between 'devil do' and 'devil may care'.

art

08/03/07 A lot of people fear a Bush/Cheney 'dictorial' takeover. However it should be considered that a Bush/Cheney dictatorship would probably be impossible without the consent of the ruling class — in which case the question would arise as of what benefit it would be to them? Can't really see of any use whatever. The beauty of the American ruling class is that it is absolutely invisible. By its invisibility it is safe ad infinitum from the ire of the lower classes. Dictatorships mean that the ruling classes no longer rule but become ruled. Dictatorships mean that the ruling classes become targets of revolution. Dictatorships lead to revolutions in which the ruling classes usually lose their property. Revolutionary's generally blame the ruling class whether guilty or no and shoots them most. The ruling class having it so made, would be crazy to sanction such idiocy. If you are rich beyond anyone's wildest dreams, but invisible — you are safe. If visible, how long before someone would stage a kidnaping for ransome? Why would any sane aristocrat want to change the present system?

art

08/01/07 In the US certain functions of the community are government operated or socialist. Since the capitalists control most aspects of America, and socialism is essentially against the law, it could be asked why are some socialist entities allowed like libraries, roads, fire, police or water? The only reason must be because the capitalists can't make any money off these concepts. If they could make money they would take over all these things. Recently it has been discovered for instance, that tolls used to pay for the building of roads can be extended forever. Thus the capitalists are realizing they can make money on roads. So now there is a push all over the country to give or lease the toll roads to the capitalists. It's American enterprise.

art

07/30/07 One Senator Patrick Leahy said on the Keith Olbermann show, that if a witness does not exactly tell the truth before a committee hearing of the US congress, they will be sent a transcript so they can correct it and not be charged with perjury. This would seem to be standard procedure. Thus it could be assumed that lying to congress and the American people is expected, encouraged and necessary. The US as Empire with ruling class, is completely hidden from the people, thus obviously the people must be lied too. Course the congress-people must put on a show — huff and puff and ask real questions once in a while. And naturally it should be expected that in such cases, that the witness is to lie. And then secretly alter the transcribe just to keep it all on the up and up, in case someone were to challenge the testimony. These Bush people don't seem to think that the sham is necessary. To hell with what the American people think, with all their provincial notions about law and lying. We are the law.

art

07/27/07 With all the civilians the US is killing in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, mostly from bombing called collateral damage, one would have to expect that these people would want to get even. One would have to also expect that they would like to bomb the US. So if this should happen, and it is used as an excuse to suspend the US constitution, so be it. It is perhaps the only way justice can be done. Throw the whole of the American population into jail. They deserve it; as the US has caused the deaths of millions overseas, and the public stood by and said nothing and did nothing. Be sort of ironic that the gangsters and war criminals who run America would imprison the US population for the crimes that they themselves committed. Course prison guards spend almost as much time in prison as the prisoners, and there may not be much difference in the mind set.

07/25/07 Got to give it to Judge Bates; he is no hypocrite — rather what passes for Republican honesty. When he ruled that outing a CIA agent was within the purview, of the job description of administration officials, as protecting the administration from attacks from without, he knew whereof he spoke: since he himself had worked for the pious pornographer — Ken Starr, as 'Deputy Independent Counsel', in the attempt to impeach Bill Clinton, in which he and they, used every means legal and illegal, such as releasing secret grand jury testimony to the press, insult, innuendo, character assassination, intimidating and jailing witnesses, bringing false charges, lying and deceit. So Bates in his latest ruling was simply codifying what he himself had done, as protecting and promoting attacks, a job description, that they themselves had been engaged in. You are not appointed a judge by the Bush family, unless your job description is criminal lawyer.

art

07/23/07 It don't get better than this: by the theory of 'The Unitary Executive' Bush has declared himself dictator. Congress may as well pack up and go home. Bush says 'Executive Priviledge' and anything and everything they do whether lawful or not is secret — period. Any law that they pass does not have to be obeyed by the government. However there really is no constitutional crisis. If Bush refuses to obey the law and authority of congress — there is only a crisis — of congressional courage. If the Bush appointed Justice Department refuses to do its job, but instead protects criminals and does not refer congressional indictments to grand juries, both chambers of congress have 'Inherent Contempt' power, allowing either body to arrest and jail those refusing to obey subpoenas, and to hold their own trials for the miscreants. So the question will be — will the congress declare 'Inherent Cowardness'? Or is it a 'Unitary Government' anyway pretending not?

art

07/20/07 Well Pelosi might be a nice person and all that, family lady and first woman Speaker of the House, but when she refused to impeach Bush she revealed that the whole above ground government is just theater staged for the masses. This Bush thinks he is a dictator. And he is a dictator since the congress is powerless to act against him (impeach). Everything now is 'Executive Privilege'. He is simply thumbing his nose at the congress, and the congress is a laughing stock as is shown by the polls. To impeach Bush is to act against Israel since he is their guy. To impeach Bush is the act against the Empire ruling class, since he and Cheney are their guy. It is a psychosis. Any real action cannot be taken because the true politics is all hidden and cannot be exposed without revealing the true nature of the beast; that the ruling class in the fight of its life for control of the world, and is losing badly. Of course there is a solution for them and us, which is to embrace a new multi-polar consciousness. But this is as foreign to them as it would be if they were sent to colonize mars. They'd last about 10 minutes.

art

07/18/07 The fairness doctrine, or airing more than one side of an issue seems fair, accept only one side is probably right. Read your local newspaper and they may truly try, or believe in trying to present different sides to an issue, the problem being probably only one is right. Four perspectives and four may be false or only just three. The simple solution is to present the truth using facts. However truth is so inconvenient for most people, they don't want the truth; what they want is scenario that floats their boat. So the purveyors of information present various perspectives each representing a favorite cliche of their paying clientele, and as well having a vested interest in rationale which best suits their own economic interests. So in affect they are presenting what a constituency and they themselves wants to believe, having nothing to do with the truth. The truth does not, nor will it ever sell inflatables.

art

07/16/07 Dennis Kucinich is no doubt the best candidate out there. The conundrum is — he actually seems to believe that his ideas will catch on with the people and that the media will then jump on his wagon. Well you have to be optimistic to be a political candidate for sure, but this is ridiculous. How can he not realize the system is rigged? Skull & Bones has occupied or controlled indirectly the presidency for 36 of the last 54 years. There is only one democratic candidate that the ruling class will back (and thus media) and that is Hillary Clinton. She is a queen of empire, a pseudo-conservative in liberal disguise, and one of them. She has also the greatest negatives, meaning the easiest for a Republican to beat. So either way the ruling class wins, even if absent their S&Bones shill for a time, unless Giuliani somehow gets elected.

07/13/07 As predicted the US is supporting and arming the Sunni in Iraq under the guise of fighting Al-Qaeda. What they wish for more than anything is, if only they could get another pro US oil and Israel, Saddam Hussein. It would solve all their problems. They have always wanted a dominant Sunni anti-Iran government. The problem has always been how to get there, and how to arm the Sunni against the Shia government. Such a neat trick just call the whole of the enemy in Iraq Al-Qaeda, and you get to arm the Sunni, and hopefully they will be able take over the whole show. Why did it take them so long? And surprise, surprise — report today that Al-Qaeda has made complete comeback in Afghanistan. Yes they are everywhere and oh how convenient they are. Fact they maybe coming to a venue near you. Get your trickets now.

07/11/07 How many human deaths is the Bush family responsible? Can it be calculated how many deaths as committed by the Nazis resulted from the financing of Hitler by Prescott Bush? Can it be calculated the number of deaths resulting from the secret contra-wars run out of the Vice president's office of George Bush under Reagan? Can it be calculated how many deaths will be the result of the latest George Bush invasion of Afghanistan & Iraq — perhaps a million or more? He wanted to outdo his dad and he did. And the US establishment obviously approves of all this death and mayhem, since it says nothing of disapproval. A mass murderer lives in the White House and is treated like royalty, worshiped like a God, is on at least 3 TV channels at this very moment — live, propounding his murder, slaughter, butchery, carnage, liquidation, and is applauded for it. It's a murder mystery.

07/09/07 Did Murdoch already take control of the Wall St. Journal. Naw — there is no difference between the two regardless. The Journal published an article from a professor at Louisiana State University, whose theory is that today's youth are ruined because they feel so entitled (spoiled & demanding), and that this is all the fault of Mister Rogers, because he told kids they are special for just being who they are. The problem apparently for the right wing capitalists here is that Conservative 'inherent worth' does not inspire the proper incentive to attain wealth and thus worth. What they want is the Progressive, 'you have zero inherent worth', thus you must progress, work and acquire money, and buy of course all those baubles offered by the industrial capitalist system, to progressively acquire the proper sense of self-consequence. Power to the Plutocrat.

07/06/07 Forever we hear about the Israel's right to exist. Never do we hear of the Palestinian right to exist. The actual fact is Israel does not have any right to exist — none whatever. Its so called 'said right to exist' is based on sentimentality merely. A man has a terrible accident and becomes a paraplegic. He moves into another man's house claiming it as his — because of the terrible tragedy that has befallen him, and because a distant relative once rented a room there. He takes the front of the house, and drives the former resident to the rear with his endless litany of cater-wailing woe. That in sum is his right to this stolen home. Anyone who feels that they would sympathize with this cretin crasher, and would share their own home with him in a similar situation, is either a liar of the first magnitude, or if they actually did — they would deserve each other.

07/04/07 Of course any justice for the crime syndicate that runs America is an impossibility anyway. Bush grants a commutation to Libby. Actually this may be better than Libby going to jail. It is a statement. Bush states: 'I support perjury, obstruction of justice, and making false statements to grand juries and federal investigators', a jail sentence for anyone else. 'I endorse treason.' 'I endorse the outing of CIA agents and the destruction of operations tracking the illegal transfer of nuclear materials that may be used by terrorists.' This is what I am, a gangster and a nuclear terrorist enabler. Can't get better than that. And even better yet, Bush is ultimately protecting Cheney, who — the slime that he is — has crawled under a rock and is letting Bush proclaim himself the treasonous villain that he is, while Cheney if he had a molecule of honor or manhood in his body, would fess to his own culpability and not let Bush take the fall for him. Can't beat it. It's a twofor. And finally it is the same crime they impeached Clinton for. Where there is no justice — the best that can be gotten, is for them to admit who they are — since the vampire casts no reflection.

07/02/07 People are decrying the sale of the 'rags 2 riches' Wall Street Journal, to the yellow journalist Rupert Murdoch. Good riddance they deserve each other. What could be a more perfect match? Did Rupert Murdoch or the Wall Street Journal ever find a war they did not like; good for circulation and arms industry stocks. Is there any lie or any person that Murdoch would not tell or smear for his personal profit? Is there any stock that the WS Journal would not recommend, from implements of war and murder to nuclear or genetic engineering? From Murdoch who uses his presses to make as much money as he can, to the Wall Street Journal that uses its presses to make people as much money as they can — can't really see the difference. Is this a marriage made in a stock market or what? Oh happy days.

06/29/07 Is Cheney getting too dangerous? The Washington Post has exposed him as running the administration, as they exposed Nixon. Seems the NY Times would represent that portion of the ruling class, like the S&B, arms, oil and Israel factions, which gave us Iraq and now wants a war with Iran. Maybe the Washington Post represents a more moderate wing of the ruling class, that knows a war on Iran would be a true catastrophe for the empire, and knowing that Cheney, who runs the administration, could put the US into another war in a minute. Is Cheney — the guy that may have given us 9/11, anthrax, the Afghani and Iraq wars, torture and rendition, eavesdropping, two supreme court toadies, and the nail in the coffin of the empire — dangerous — what took them 6 years to figure it out? War within the ruling class? Like trying to find new planets, the slight wobble or dimming of stars may indicate circling satellites.

06/27/07 If you got an unprovoked war you got thieves. That is what those who start wars do it for. Think they are going to spend all that money even if tax money, and ego to overthrow a government by force and not get something for it. Too bad for all those flag waving morons and families who have lost relatives in Iraq. They believe it all for patriotism, when in reality it is all for thieves and nothing more. These thieves control the country, the media, the national government and the minds of the people. That is why so few know they are nothing more than robber barons. And as is always the case, the problem is intractable when even the thieves believe themselves to be upright and outstanding citizens.

06/25/07 So people are fed up with the Democratic Party already. Didn't take long. Long live the new boss, same as the old boss. Congress recently passed a resolution calling on the UN to bring charges of "genocide" against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad by a vote of 411-2. What utter nonsense. The Zionists say kiss my ass and they kiss. Bush is responsible for as many as a 700,000 genocide, and how many has Ahmadinejad killed — again. The congress is utterly and completely owned. And you think these pansies are going to stop the war. Yup, this is a brave and stalwart bunch. Resolute they are in condemning a demonized, misquoted, oratorical sniper 3,000 miles away, but the war criminal in the White House, or the war criminal Olmert in Israel — hush little darling. These people don't make orders — they take them.

06/23/07 The Skull & Bones killer Bush and his Nerd Reich is responsible for up to 700,000 deaths in Iraq. And the killing goes on. Why is the US in Iraq? If the Iraqis want to kill each other — would seem it is their business. The US is so proud of its civil war. But the Iraqis don't get to have one. For what reason is the US in Iraq? To prevent murder between religious and other factions is their only last left standing argument. And everyday they murder more and more in the name of preventing murder. And all this is sanctioned to the hilt by the mainstream media, now a US propaganda ministry for murder. The real reason they are in Iraq is to steal whatever they can, and like the Israelis who have and continue to steal Palestine hector by hector, they cannot have peace. Peace would mean that they would have to stop their thieving. Murder rule out.

06/20/07 The logic of collaboration is that it is best for the occupied people, if they are on good terms with their captors, since they have no power and the occupiers can be ruthless in their suppression of the population, and thus: the collaborators will simply wait them out. In Palestine — the waiting has been 40 years. By collaboration, violence can be avoided and the people will have a better chance of survival. The collaborators in Nazi occupied France were called the Vichy. The collaborators in Israel are the Fatah, going all the way back to Yasser Arafat. The Palestinians have rejected the collaborators, since they are tired of waiting them out, and since it has gotten them only ever more misery. They voted in Hamas who refuse to collaborate, and so they must be suppressed, as do occupiers in every time, like from the Romans to the Nazis, or the US in Iraq.

06/18/07 The Israel/Palestine conundrum is not that hard to understand. The Jews, due to the holocaust, move into and steal Palestine, supported primarily by the US. The thieves must justify the theft in every manner possible, and the victims must do everything to attempt to regain their lost land. The truth is on the side of the victims, and so the thieves must do everything possible to crush the truth and anyone who expresses it. The truth cannot be suppressed with lies alone, but with bribes and force, which is why thieves are constantly involved in warfare, take the present US. The problem with organizations like Hamas is that lies only work on outsiders, but not on the Palestinians themselves; and bribes don't work because that is only collaborating with the thieves to get privileges, while in the prison of occupation. Thus only violence can be relied on, which is why we have terrorism on both sides.

06/15/07 Comeon — pardon Libby. What is this — a government that believes in laws and justice? We cannot have real criminals locked up. God knows you can't let justice get a leg up. Why once it got started, it might spread all the way to the White House. Let one go to jail and pretty soon it might happen, that all these common criminals in political hats would be expected to serve time. Sets a bad precedent. What kind of message would that be for the world? That we — the most powerful nation, can have our leaders go to Club Fed, with common corporate criminal CEOs? Don't think so. How ya goin' to run an empire like that? Let 'em know who's boss. You can't let your lieutenants go to jail. Show some loyalty for God's sake. Pontius Pilate did not pardon Jesus — and look what happened.

06/13/07 Some insight into how do people like: Kissinger, Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney and innumerable others, kill thousands and millions and take no responsibility for it — whatever. According to Bob Woodward, in his book 'State of Denial', wherein the good empire scribe that he is, reveals none of the behind the scenes characters; when Rumsfeld, asked about his responsibility for all the carnage and death in Iraq — he took no responsibility. And why because he was not there. According to him it is only those in Iraq that are responsible. So what's the logic here? That he helped perpetrate the war, that he used to few troops, that he failed to guard the weapons depots, the ministries, the holy sites et al — no the fault was the people in Iraq who screwed it all up. He was not there. All mistakes were made in the field. Apparently he would have done it right.

06/11/07 Got to love it in America. Every Republican candidate for president except one favors the not only bombing, but nuclear bombing of Iran 'if necessary'. Here is a political party that represents the ruling class, business, capitalism, empire, elitism, wealth and complete private ownership, and that believes in the nuclear annihilation of a nation — 'if necessary'. Can there be any doubt that these people are fervent believers in murder? If they believe in it they are — only the means and opportunity absent. Now if any average citizen threatens murder, they may be arrested. And now in the shining beacon of democracy, if any presidential candidate threatens not just murder but mass annihilation, they may get to be president.

06/08/07 The holocaust is disputed by some, and recently released records from the Red Cross may put the number at 250,000 and not 6 million. Course to even think or say this is a jailable offense in some countries because it is condoning holocaustism, like the catholic church didn't exterminate millions or Pol Pot and Kissinger, or the European colonizers in the new world. So why must the integrity of the Holocaust be protected at all costs? Probably because the whole of the existence of the state of Israel is dependent on it for it's justification — on the stealing of the nation of Palestine from the Palestinians. If one uses historical indigenousness for property rights, then everyone would have to give their land back to someone more native. So all they got and all they will ever have is 'never again'. To steal a nation based on a crime against oneself is not only to perpetuate the crime, but to continually remind oneself of the degradation, shame and weakness of defenselessness against that crime, and to now continually compensate by the perpetuation brutality on someone else.

06/06/07 Immigration — they wring their hands and tear out their hair and praise to the heavens for Biofuel. Yes — take food crops and animal feed and turn it into gasoline. What are you going to get — but corn shortages which raises prices for everything containing corn like food and feed. What poor people are more reliant on corn than perhaps any other? — Mexicans. North American Free Trade Agreement has allowed US corporations to flood Mexico with cheap corn, putting Mexico's small farmers out of business. So the Mexicans can no longer afford to eat, and so they come to America to get jobs. And what do the politicians do but scream we have got to stop this and build walls. And who makes out on all the misery that is created but the corporate farmers and their toady politicians. Like Tony Soprano would say, "Hey — nothin' personal — it's just business".

06/04/07 People should quit crying about not being able to make a difference. See them come like wildfire — figuring they are going to change the world and then fade away apparently all disgusted. It is progressive when the objective is more important than the doing. The thing is no one on the left is going to change anything substantial because the democracy is a sham, a fake, a facade on the national level. There are only two parties and that is all there can be in a 'winner take all' system. Behind the elected officials is an oligarchy, K street and a foreign government that controls the elected and unelected government bureaucracy like State, Defense, Food & Drug and everything that matters. However illusion is a great motivator. Now the conservative way is do it because it is honest, it is true, it is for its own sake regardless of the outcome. It is doing it for the self and for one's own sense of honesty, integrity and decency.
