Malpracticers of Economic and Foreign Policy

About this time every year I grow a bit philosophical, and melancholic, as we celebrate what this country should be… but isn’t.  Last year, my written words called for a second American revolution, and the year before I underlined the belated realization that the US is not us (the people).

Illusory return to economic normalcy

“Everything would be ok if it weren’t for that CNN scaring us out of our wits, giving us all those stories and commentary on the recession and presumed bad economy,” was the statement someone made at the table as we were having breakfast at a delightful B&B of the most charming Victorian-accented town in Washington State: Port Townsend.

Regulating Predatory Capitalism in America

No, it wasn’t the first time that I heard, or read, the plagiarization of a famous phrase by means of word replacement.  But yesterday’s ill-appropriation by an inexpert-expert guest of CNBC stood vividly for the remarkable ignorance this nation is all about; and how that television station, for the most part, promotes such ignorance and cheerleads fake growth to the catchy music of predatory capitalism.

Inadvertent confessions of Britain's #1 war criminal

History ignored yields history repeated. Mainstream media that ignore the 9-11 million excess deaths so far in the Bush (now Obama) wars also ignore how in 1943-1945 the British under Winston Churchill deliberately starved 6-7 million Indians to death in what was described in India at the time as a Bengali Holocaust.

Dioxin is one of the most dangerous chemicals known to man.

A Toxic Innocence At Home

Even as President Barrack Obama waxed eloquent in Cairo, Egypt, on the moral imperatives of the community of nations, public opinion polls released in the United States revealed that, by a substantial percentage, its citizens believe torture is an acceptable option for interrogation of suspects deemed terrorists by various US governmental agencies.

Severing the Bonds that Shackle

Consider the potential consequences of Obama’s speech in Cairo last week. Set aside the complaint that he offered no actions to correct the crisis; ignore the fact that he did not repudiate the absolute bond that tethers United States policy to that of Israel; avoid his silence regarding the racist urgings of Lieberman and the arrogance of Netanyahu as they dictated foreign policy for the U.S...

Zionist Spin & Orwellian Holocaust Denial

President Barack Hussein Obama (BHO) has made a pro-Zionist motherhood speech to the Muslim World that ignored horrendous US Alliance crimes, implied (like George Orwell’s Big Brother) that ongoing war is peace and offered a Palestinian State when Apartheid Israel agrees to it. FULL STORY...

I resolved not to weigh in on the George Tiller murder.  All Monday night and into Tuesday morning the dominos kept falling in my mind.  So many connections were being made to this event that finally I had to drag my butt to the computer and begin to type these words. FULL STORY...
