Burn A Flag, Save The Constitution

Recently I've been inundated with comments suggesting that I endorse flag burning. The flag is a piece of cloth these days made in China used to represent our country and all it's freedoms which are guaranteed to all under the constitution. Some of those rights is the freedom of expression and the right of freedom of speech. And if you are an inarticulate war protestor whose brain is foggy from too much pot inhalation, perhaps burning a flag is the only way to express your dissatisfaction that is increasingly unresponsive to the demands of it's citizens. If you bought the flag, you should have every right to do with as you wish, as long as you do it on your property.
In the Clinton administration there was much ballyhoo about hate crime legislation following the murder of a gay man by homophobic gomers. Which, as far as I remember, murder is still a crime, how many life sentences can a person serve for the same crime? This led to a number of other acts to be classified as hate crimes, including cross burning. Once again, if a bunch of sheet wearing inbred yahoos want to meet on private property and burn a cross as part of some bizarre racist ritual, that's there right. It's only when you burn a cross on someone else's lawn that it becomes a crime. And, too, if burning a cross is a hate crime, then perhaps burning a flag should be as well.
Recently the Bush released it's "Report on Global Anti-Semitism". It made the recommendation that critism of Israel and it's leaders be a hate crime. Huh? Wha? Let me see, you can criticize France, you can criticize Venezuela, you can even criticize the good old U.S. of A, but criticize Israel? To me, this sets up a dictatorship by proxy where Israel can do as damn well it pleases, even attack the US and the American people can't say a word about it. It will even be a crime to suggest that Israel owns the US Congress!
Another recommendation is that criticism of Zionism also be made a hate crime. I've read lots of people criticize lots of other different religions, from Catholicism to Islam, but only Zionism is protected from criticism under these recommendations. Also, Holocaust denial is a hate crime, but perhaps even loonier are the people who would deny that it took place. Also, Mel Gibson's "The Passion Of The Christ" would become illegal because accusing Jews of being Christ-killers would be deemed a hate crime.All this is sure to pass as AIPAC does in fact own our congress. They have a nifty little scam going where Israel recieves $3 billion in aid annually from the US, then uses it to buy congressmen willing to send more aid, or defeat congressmen critical of Israel. Then, the congress, knowing who their masters are (and it's not the American people, just look at the percentage of people who support the war in Iraq vs. Bush's steadfast refusal that such a colossal blunder was a mistake) vote to send more aid to Israel. At the last AIPAC Congress, US politicians from both parties sucked up to them in order to get support for their next office bid. Bill Clinton even said at one point"I'd die for Israel". This from a guy who declined to serve his country in VietNam.
So my recommendation is you do two things. One: burn a flag, just make sure it's an Israeli flag. Two: do quickly because this is what Israel wants, and like the war in Iraq they desired, they are sure to get their way, after all, they paid a lot of our money to buy our congress.

Will Hugo Chavez Replace Kim Jong II on the Bush Axis of Evil?

Recent reports have come out stating that the Bush Administration, under pressure from South Korea and Japan, have silently eliminated North Korea from the axis of evil. It seems that Japan and South Korea are uncomfortable with the tag, being American allies directly in the line of fire of this lunatic. The question is: Has he been replaced with Venezuealn President Hugo Chavez.
Chavez has come in the line of fire recently with "Pat" Robertson calling for his assassination, an illegal act under American law. Comparing Chavez to Jong, it's easy to see why this will happen.
Kim Jong II is a communist dictator for life. This autocrat is reported to have rape rooms and torture rooms similar to the ones Saddam used on his people. Chavez recently visited Cuba, met with Fidel and watched the graduating class of Venezuelan doctors trained there with money from Venezuela's vast oil reserves. The doctors are set to practice in the poor sections of his country, helping the poor and the weak. I'm sure he would have liked to send them to America which has finer medical schools, but the AMA limits the number of medical students in the US, to stop this country from being flooded with doctors like it is lawyers. Which is a good thing, since there are just so many bad lawyers out there, there would sure to be a gaggle of bad doctors, driving up malpractice insurance costs and therefore medical costs. So, instead, he turned to Cuba.
Chavez has also purchased fighter jets and weaponry from Russia with his country's oil profits, which he claims is to defend his country and all of Latin America from US "imperialism". Which is bad news for the minority of people who actually support CAFTA, where even more manufacturing jobs are sure to be sent when the bill is passed.He alleges that the US was behind an attempted coup in his country, a claim denied by the Bush administration who rushed to recognize the coup leaders immediately. Kim Jong II has nuclear weapons and the ability to deliver a warhead to the West Coast of the US.
Kim Jong is a communist dictator for life, placed in power following the death of his father, Kim Jong I. Chavez is a democratically elected president who has survived one recall effort by his opposition and has a mandate of 59% of the voters of his country. It is intersting to note that "Pat" Robertson made his comments after signing a deal with a company that is looking to do business with Chavez's opposition, if they just could get him out of the way. So much for the right wing's belief in promoting democracy.
Which brings us to the final comparison. Venezuela, like other axis members Iraq and Iran, sits on one of the largest oil reserves in the world. Condaleeza Rice, Dick(head) Cheney and even President Bush himself all have ties to the oil industry. Thankfully for Kim Jong II, he has no oil reserves to speak of. Because if he did, he'd be back on that list faster than you could say "Pat" Robertson.

Marion "Pat" Robertson: Racist Christianazi

Towards the end of the last millenium, "What Would Jesus Do?" bracelets were popualr with the brainwashed Christian right. They must have fallen out of favor when they realized that a lot of their political and "spiritual" leaders were doing things that not only would Jesus not do, he might get upset about invoking zHis name while they did it.
Nowhere is tha6t more evident than in the minisitry of Dr. Marion "Pat" Robertson, founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network and host of it's daily propagand show, The 700 Club. yesterday on the show, Dr. Robertson suggested the US government should assassinate Venezuelan Presidnet Hugo Chavez. I've never read the Bible, but I'm fairly sure that there is no Book of Assassins.
As one more clue that the right wing really oppose democracy,President Chavez is the popular democratically elected Socialist leader of Venezuela. He has nationalized the oil industry (10% of the US supply) and used the profits to help the poor. (Sounds like something Jesus would do). The poor, who used to live in cardboard huts, were land and bricks to build new homes, as well as milk for their families.
Of course, he has done other things too, like aligning himself with Fidel Castro' Communist regime in Cuba and vowed to help the Cuban leader's failing country, he has built up his nation's military, and he has aligned himself with Iran in OPEC. he has also vowed to aid any Latin American country threatened by the US.
In Venezuela, there are two class of people. The minority of the citizens are of Spanish descent, wealthy white landowners and businessmen who despise Chavez's socialist reforms. The majority of the people are descendants of those whom were there when the Spaniards landed, are brown and dirt poor. And they love Chavez, as evidenced in his majority victory in two national elections, including a recall effort backed by the Bush regime.
Also, when a coup took place (reported in the New York Times as a resignation) these people took to the streets after a sympathetic soldier gave him a cell phone so he could let the people know he was still in charge. Chavez alleges the US was behind the coup, a charge the Bush regime denies then went on to help the opposition in a failed recall attempt.
"Reverend" Pat(he gave up his ordination preceding a failed presidential bid in 1988) seems intent on using his followers to enrich himself, ofetn under the guise of helpingm the poor. His foray into African diamond mining was funded in part by donations made to Operation Blessing, which was designed to help fly medical supplies to help refugees in the Congo. Apparently, the planes were ill-equipped to fly medical supples, but just right for flying mining supplies, the good doctor having just bought into a diamond mining company. During the flights, Pat never cracked a Bible, being too busy reading the Wall Street Journal and Investor's Daily, and the only prayer on the flight was a "prayer for diamonds". It's easy to see what God Marion worships. While trying to set up an internet banking deal in China he met with Zhu Rhongji, the communist dictator who has jailed Christian ministers. An associate said, "Pat would meet with the Devil if that is the only way to help suffering people." Which makes his attack on Chavez, who actually has helped suffering people, so, so so, hypocritical.


Some of the information on Dr. Robertson comes from "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy" by Greg Palast, Chapter 6. Published by Plume Books.

Just Some Kids Trying To Have Fun In The New Reich

Well, I can imagine how the Korporate media will try to spin this story, if this story ever makes the Korporate media, that is. And I know how all the Reactionary apologists will spin this, to make it seem as all these kids were on drugs, so Mr. and Mrs. Erotic American watching this huddled in fear in their duct taped and plastic sheeted safe room will feel that these storm troopers were just protecting them.
I'm not a rave fan, nor do I care too much for white boys in dread locks(sorry, that look is over) with backwards baseball caps, and house music is boring repetitive nonesense (give me some Garth Brooks anyday), but I'm not a fan of Christian rock either, I would be just as outraged if this had happened at a Jars of Clay concert. Which it wouldn't have, because at that concert you wouldn't find leaflets being passed out to ask people to join a protest when Bush comes to town. Which, according to a source in the Utah government said, that the fear that this rave would be used to rally support for the protest against Bush's Utah visit.

According to one deejay this was a legal party, on private property with all the proper permits. According the deejay, security personnel were hired to search partygoers for drugs and alcohol, and were later arrested for posession for the confiscated drugs they had on hand. According to the Sheriff's Department this Rave was broken up because of sexual assaults on females at previous Rave. No explaination was given why the attending officers needed assault rifles to break up a party of teenagers.
When you look at a video it does appear that the police are using excessive force. And they are in full combat gear with assault weapons. Now, if this were a bunch of terrorists, I could understand such an excessive use of force. But in the video it is apparent that the only terrorists here are the SWAT teams called in to break up a celebration of youthful exuberance.
When asked to leave, the partiers all left with out an arguement, though one wonders why it takes four men to handcuff a suspect who is not offering resistance.
I remember when I was in high school, we used to have some pretty big keggers, sometimes with bands, all held on private property with no permits. All it took to break these up were one sheriff's deputy with a siren. And there was probably as much drugs being taken then as there was here, the list of drugs found (apparently security was just not that good) matched the stuff available when I was in high school. *(Which, by the way, is why certain drugs are kept illegal. Legalized, they would be well regulated and kept away from those too young to know any better.) The only difference is ectasy hadn't been invented yet.
So now Der Fuhrer can go to Utah, safe in knowing the threat of potential dissenters has been eradicated, and he can have his flag waving propaganda campaign go on (looking for all the world like a Nazi Party rally from the thirties) as he tries to resell his illegal war to a growing majority of Americans who have come to realize that it has not made us any safer, only less free.

Paying At The Pump For Failed Foreign Policy

As Bush begins his five day campaign to sell the war the war in Iraq to the American people, the unbrainwashed know what to expect. Large hand picked crowds of cheering thongs of flag waving, Shell Oil and Halliburton stock holding people whose children aren't fighting overseas, looking more like a Nazi party rally than a representation of the majority of Americans, of which only 39% actually support the war. Taking a page from Hitler, Bush will admit no fault or wrong, and repeat the same lies over and over in hopes of continuing the Global War on Terror, oops, I mean the Global Struggle against terror. Whoops, I mean the Global Struggle Against Violent Extremism. And like the name for the war, the objectives of the war keep changing. First it was stop Saddam and his weapons of mass destruction. Then, it became about getting that evil Saddam feller, then after we caught him (or his double, Saddam's wife insists it's not him) it was about establishing an American like democracy in Iraq. Now it looks like Bush will have to settle for a Islamist Constitution in Iraq, replacing the only secular government in the region. So much for the Christianazi dream of wiping out the "Islamofascists".
In the mean time, Iran and Venezuela have announced cutting oil exports to the US, with Venezuela announcing it's plan to open a oil exporting company in China. China and Russia have announced that they will come to the aid of Iran should they be attacked by the US, which is something that Dick(head) Cheney is itching to do.(No wonder he built that $10 million dollar bunker under his house).
What this means to the American gas consumer is that with Ecuador cutting oil production, and less oil flowing to the US from Iran and Venezuela, oil prices are sure to jump even higher, meaning we all will be paying more than we already are per gallon for gas. Which is good news if you're a stockholder in a major oil company, bad news if you have a long commute to work, school, or any other place you need to go that can't effectively be reached by public transportation. With oil prices rising, anything that is shipped to your local grocery store are sure to rise in price as well.
Why is this happening? Well, in Venezuela, President Hugo Chavez is still angry about attempts to undermine his presidency by the Bush administration, including an attempted coup that he feels was backed by the US, as well as US support for the wealthy non-Socialist minority opposition.(So much for supporting a democracy)Iran angry because the Bush administration has it in it's sights, threatening to nuke it if there is another terrorist attack on US soil, even if it(the terrorist attack) didn't originate from Iran.
What can you do? Nothing, as the evidence that Bush doesn't listen to the American people sits before you at Camp Casey. I suggest staying home this Labor Day weekend, as gas prices are sure to rise even higher by then. You can trade your SUV in on a more fuel efficient vehicle. You can walk to more places ( a lot of fat assed Americans could stand the excercise, myself included). Or, you can wave a flag like a magic wand and hope it all goes away. Good luck with that .

Intelligent Design Vs. Darwin: Education Vs. Indoctrination.

Bill Frist came out for "teaching" intelligent design as part of science in today's schools. Waht a surprise. I guess after he flip-flopped on stem cell research, he had to do something to appease the Christianazis of the religious right. And there you have it.
Intelligent design, or creationism is the, well you couldn't really call it science, since it isn't based on any scientific principle, other than, gee, someone must have designed the universe, it's so perfect, must have been God. All it's teachings are that essentially God put together this whole thing, natural selection and evrything. If you buy this, you just passed.
What's really wrong is that tax payer dollars are being spent to indoctrinate children to a religious belief. Religion is the duty of the parents, not the government, and if you were truly spiritual, you wouldn't want the government getting mixed up in your religion, seeing how they have managed to bungle any other thing they've foisted upon us.
However, let me say this to all you Darwinists out there. There is evidence of human life being on this planet for millions of years, not some pre-evolutionary ancestor, but actual human beings like ourselves. In 1979, Mary Leakey found human footprints in volcanic ash that is 3.7 million years old. Human bones and tools were found in rock deposits hundreds of years old. Darwin relies on the discovery of a 'missing link' that has yet to be discovered. All this information is available in a book called "Forbidden Archaeology" by Michael Cremo.
What creationists fail to realize is that the Theory of Evolution is just that, a theory to be proved or disproved based on scientific models and discoveries. Creationism, as it is taught, is based on the Bible, the least scientific book on the planet. So save your religious beliefs for church, not for our public schools.

Cindy Sheehan:Media Distraction

While I grieve for Ms. Sheehan, and being the father of two young boys I hope I never have to go through what she's going through now. I feel she is being used, not by the liberal antiwar movement, but by the Korporate media, and it's poster boy, George W (W stands for Wuss) Bush. You see, as long as Bush never meets face to face with Ms. Sheehan, the media circus will continue. And that's just what this administration wants.
It doesn't matter to Bush that approval ratings for the war keep falling, they are either too arrogant to admit they made a mistake, or just taking a page from 'Mein Kampf". As long as the Korporate media's attention is focused on Ms. Sheehan, it is effectively distracting the public attention away from the crime of treason committed by Karl Rove. In the meantime, in an effort to save Mr. Rove's neck from the gallows, they have changed the name for the war, even though it is still a war, it has gone from the Global War on Terror to the Global Struggle Against Terrorism, to finally, the Global Struggle Against Violent Extremism. This from the same people that changed 'prisoner of war' to 'enemy detainee' so America can willfully violate the Geneva Conventions.
The Bush administration is hoping that this change of title will save traitorous Karl Rove if special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald chooses to go after him using the Intelligence Indentity Protection Act that states if this happened in a time of war and it aids our enemies (since Ms. Plame's operation was involved in monitoring WMD worldwide, it certainly would have aided Saddam Hussein, if he had any WMD) then he has truly committed an act of treason and should be punished.
But, if Mr. Fitzgerald uses US code793 and 794 , Mr. Rove faces life in prison or the death penalty. Considering how Mr. Bush executed more criminals as governor of Texas than any other governor in US history, his refusal to execute Rove (who, still has a job in the White House, even after Bush stated that anyone involved in this treason would no longer be working there) would be just one more act of hypocrisy carried out by the right wing.
Consider this quote(thanks Daily Kos):"If we are going to commit American troops, we must be certain they have a clear mission, an acheivable goal and an exit strategy," Karen Hughes, speaking on behalf of then candidate George W. Bush about Clinton's illegal war in Bosnia.
You see, during Clinton's illegal military excursion, in which no US soldier died, Sean Hannity, who has since told antiwar protestors to dissent quietly said:"Explain to the mothers and fathers ofAmerican servicemen that may have to come home in body bags why their son or daughter had to give up their life." Fox News 4/6/99. of course now that his guy's in the White House, I'm sure that Mr. Hannity has changed positions and feels that Bush should not have to explain himself to Ms. Sheehan, such is the rampant hypocricy that runs through the right wing. I believe this is called a flip-flop.
Now, concerning Bosnia and Kosovo, when we were bombing over there, the antiwar sentiment wasn't as heated as it is now. Right wingers feel because Bill Clinton was in the White House, this illegal act was given a pass by them and the "liberal" media. In reality, the war in Bosnia and Kosovo received little media attention as at the time they were too busy running Whitewater, Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky down the people's throats to distract them from the illegal military action. There were no flag waving graphics, no "Support Our Troops" magnets, no shut up and get behind the President sentiment from reactionary pundits. Sure, the 'ethnic cleansing' propaganda was there, but it was no way near as much as the 'Saddam is evil' propaganda that filled our airwaves before the illegal invasion of Iraq.

Bush/Cheney:The Fourth Reich

One thing I gleaned from all my years of reading MAD Magazine was this saying by Descartes:

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

I think in the years following WWII, America has forgotten what was so bad about Hitler. Sure, the Holocaust was an evil thing, but most of America weren't aware of it until the camps had been liberated. What was so awful about Hitler and the Axis powers was their unbending intent on conquering and ruling the globe. The war was about saving the world from Nazi domination.
It was Hitler's obsession with the Jewish people that proved his undoing as more and more resources were diverted to the "Final Solution". His intent on wiping out the Jewish race clouded his thinking until it affected every decision he made.

Read any right wing blog and you will find the bloggers desire to wipe out the "Islamofascists." Bearing in mind that religious persecution is as unAmerican as apple strudel, it's interesting that 1.the people who cry out for genocide against the Muslims don't actually want to do it themselves, and, 2. they all repeat the same phrases over and over, as if brainwashed by Ann, or Rush, or Sean, or any of the other right wing proto-fascists on American television and radio these days.

I came across a few quotes, and I thought I'd have a little quiz:

1.Who said,"The people can always be brought to the bidding of their leaders...tell them they are being attacked and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger"?
Was it a.)Michael Moore
b.)Sean Hannity
c. )Herman Goering
2.Who said,"The lie can only be maintained for such a time as the state can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all it's powers to repress dissent for truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the state"?
Was it a.) Cindy Sheehan
b.)Ann Coulter
c.)Joseph Goebbels
3.Who said,"Never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it often enough, people will believe it"?
Was it a.)Joseph Wilson
b.) Rush Limbaugh
c.)Adolph Hitler

Of course, the answer to all three questions is c.), but it's easy to see how b.) could also apply. For the Bush administration and it's propagandists have taken a page from the Nazi playbook. How many times have you heard Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reilly call war protestors "unpatriotic" or "traitors"? How many times are we told that "terrorists" are ready to attack us on a weekly basis? The truth is, if the terrorists do attack us, it will show that all the rights we have conceded have not made us any more secure, therefore they will not be allowed to attack unless an attack is needed to justify a response.
How many lies were told to justify our invasion of Iraq? Well, it was only three, but they were big lies. Saddam had WMD. Saddam had links to alqaeda. Saddam was involved in 9/11. And they were repeated by Bush and Cheney again and again long after the truth was found out. How many mistakes has Bush owned up to? It's easy to see why he refuses to meet with Cindy Sheehan, that would be tantamount to admitting he made a mistake, or worse, that he lied, and that goes against the gospel according to Adolph Hitler.
Bill O'Reilly said:"I'm telling you, if they go in there and there's nothing, I will apologize to the American people and I will never believe anything that Bush says again." They found nothing. O'Reilly ahs never formally apologized that I'm aware of (never admit a fault or wrong) and I don't believe he has turned against the Bush Administration, nor has he dropped his support for the war in Iraq.
Nowhere is the attempt to stifle dissent more obvious than in the actions of the Bush supporters, who behave like the brown shirts of the Nazi party. Many a post on this blog has been hit not with refutation of the facts, but of slanderous name calling. At "Camp Casey", where Cindy Sheehan and her supporters set up wooden crosses with American flags attached to them to honor those who sacrificed themselves where the Bush supporting goons wouldn't. To give them the honor that all the other "coalition of the willing" countries give to their fallen (ours are smuggled in under the cover of night, their flag draped coffins not allowed to be photographed with no acknowledgement of the sacrifice from Bush or the goons who support him). The other dayt, a Bush supporter, driving a pick-up dragging chains, ran over those memorials, destroying half of them.
So next time you read about Nazi Germany, don't ask how could it happen there, ask yourselves, why is it happening here?

A Middle Eastern Country, Hmmm.......

As I drove to work today I was listening to the news, delivered by a local deejay who gets his news from the internet. He told the story of blueprint plans for the Miami Airport's new security division being intercepted as they were being sent to a "Middle Eastern" country. The plans were being mailed to a "Middle eastern" country by two architecture students of "Middle Eastern" descent. Hmmmm, I wondered to myself, which Midddle eastern country would that be? If it were Iraq, or Iran, they would be identified as such. If they were Palestinian or Syrian, they would also be identified as such. If they were Lebanese or Saudis, well, you get the picture.
No, there is only one "Middle Eastern" country blessed with vagaries by the news media when their citizens are caught red handed committing criminal and potentially terroristic acts.

I've also been reading about the soon to burst housing bubble, and it brought to mind the stock market bubble. In the summer of 2001, at Herman Miller, the company I worked for at the time, there was lots of speculative scuttlebutt about lay-offs set for September. Everyone walked on eggshells for fear that their department would be one of the ones marked for cuts. Then, of course, September 11, came, and the economy ground to the halt because of the "terrorist attacks" and two weeks later my department was shut down because 'people won't be buying much office furniture for awhile' because of the terrorist attacks. I guess they needed money for the duct tape and plastic sheeting.
Now there's much buzz about the impending "terrorist attacks", with the timeline being between tomorrow (August 17) and September 7 (when all army leaves have been cancelled after). I wonder if the impending housing bubble burst will blamed on the "attacks", as opposed to the greed of housing lenders and mortgage companies.

Don't Ask Us To Sacrifice What You Will Not Sacrifice Yourself

Recently my ex-wife and her new husband have added a new tenant to there residence. It his seven year old son, who was until recently living with his mom. Then, she was called back to duty to serve another tour in Iraq (she has already served one). You see, with recruitment levels falling, what little forces we have are being called back time and time again to serve extended tours. Now I think, with all the pro-war comments I've been reading and receiving, that there'd be tons of Christianazis lining up to take on the "Islamofascists". Maybe they all are afraid that people will find out they're gay .
I respect this woman, for like Cindy Sheehan, she is doing what she feels is right for her country. And I certainly hope that she makes it out okay, as she is a mother as well as a soldier and will leave behind a loving son if something were to happen to her. But it begs the question: why hasn't Bush's daughters served a tour of duty in Iraq?
You remember Bush's daughters, Jenna and Barbara, don't you? Heck, they were on the cover of every supermarket tabloid having a wild old drunken time until one publication received one of the anthrax letters mailed out post-9/11. Then, they mysteriously disappeared from the public eye.
Now, if Bush's daughters were good Christian girls, and their father had asked them to serve their country, one would think they would do the Christian thing and honor thy father. So, are they not good Christians Girls (lots of good Christian girls get falling down drunk), or has their father not asked them? Do they not believe in this war? I'm sure a lot of politicians who believe in this war (like Bill Clinton) have children or grandchildren old enough to serve their country at this time when our fighting forces are being stretched to the limit. How many of them are serving in Iraq? (last I heard, it was one, and it wasn't Chelsea)
So how can these people ask our families to make the ultimate sacrifice, when they are not willing to do so themselves? How can the flag waving brainwashed Christianazis support the war if none of their children or grandchildren are fighting in it?
Survey says: They're hypocrites!

I Guess They Call Him Bush Because He's Got No Balls

I see where old George W (W stands for Wuss) refused to meet with Cindy Sheehan. I guess he'd have to meet with every parent whose child sacrificed their lives for a Greater Israel, and he's just too darn busy on his vacation playing cowboy to be a real man. Then of course he'd have to admit that Zionists in the DoD have confiscated our armed forces to benefit them and a minority of reactionary Protestant Christianazis who would be glad to send the Catholics, Blacks and other poor white people to die for imagined terrorists that are really Mossad agents in disguise.
But more and more people are waking up to the fact that when Bush was playing jet fighter, flying onto an aircraft carrier adorned with a mission accomplished banner strung across it, that this president is out of touch with reality. Here's a guy so out of touch, he refuses to fire Karl Rove, a traitor for crying out loud, even after stating that anyone in his office who leaked an intelligence agents name would no longer have a job there. So either he forgot that he said it, or he forgot that one of his charges against John Kerry was that he was a flip-flopper(Like Bill Frist, who flip-flopped on stem cell research). Which is understandable given his years of substance abuse finally attacking his short term memory.
Now Bush is attacking his own generals, notably George Casey, US ground commander in Iraq, who stated forces there could be reduced by 30,000 (out of 138,000) as soon as next year. Either Bush don't like him because his name reminds him of Cindy Sheehan's son(And Bush's own cowardice in dealing with this grieving mom), or Bush knows that after Wednesday's terrorist attack and subsequent nuking of Iran, we're going to need as many troops over there to get covered when the shit hits the fan.
What this country needs are politicians who will stand up to Israel, not laud them as they violate numerous UN resolutions (remember the UN? The organization that created a Jewish Homeland in the first place?) such as Hillary, Rudy and Rick Santorum. We need politicians who will put America first, not some blatantly criminal government (like Ariel Sharon's or Dick [Head] Cheney's). Politicians who will use our armed forces to defend our country, not to impose the will of Israel or Corporate Amerika on some backwards goat herding non-Christianazi oil rich third world country. Someone with temerity. Some one with balls. You won't find that from a guy named Bush.

A Distraction Is Needed

The Cindy Sheehan story is picking up steam as more people realize that their loved ones could be lost in the "war on terror". Meanwhile, Dick (head) Cheney and the Israeli government is chomping at the bit to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear power. The brainwashed have been programmed to accept a nuclear strike against the "Islamofascists".
All that is needed is an excuse for the war that would be a convenient distraction from Ms. Sheehan. Now comes the news that FEMA is planning a terror drill>in Atlanta, GA on Wednesday August 17. This terror drill would deal with a nuclear strike by the "terrorists" much the same way the 7/7 London Bombings as well as 9/11 took place during government terrorist drills. Of course, I hope I'm wrong, just another paranoid conspiracy theorist, and I know where to get a crow if I am, but if I'm not I suggest all those religious intolerant flag waving reactionary brainwashed fools who support all the illegal wars that Bush and Co. have got us into call this number: 1-800-872-2769. In fact, all those armchair chickenshit cowards who support staying in Iraq should call that number or shut the fuck up. It's easy to support a war when you don't have to put your ass on the line, only a coward would let sopmeone else fight their battles for them. Bunch of pansies.

We Are All Collateral Damage

My heart goes out to Cindy Sheehan as she tries to get answers from George W about why her son had to die for Israel. Good luck! The Bush administration has repeatedly shown their arrogance by being answerable to no one (except AIPAC). Don't expect Bush to come out and bite his lip and "feel your pain", his brand of compassionate conservatism is to hide on his ranch, play cowboy, and hope for the next terrorist attack to distract the public attention from Ms. Sheehan and her anger.
In the eyes of politicians, those public servants who seem to be better than us, our children and us are expendable. If our deaths serve an agenda, more power for them. This is even more obvious in this administration than any other.
In the first World Trade Center bombing, the "terrorist" who parked the van was a FBI informant. He told the agency of the plan to blow it up, and even suggested using fake explosives, or low grade explosives so no one would get hurt. The FBI told him no, that to do that would blow his cover, so the plan went on ahead, with one exception. Instead of parking the van where he was supposed to, which would have brought the towers down, he parked in a space where the damage would be minmal. If he had parked where he was supposed to, more people would have died on that day than on 9/11. Collateral damage.
In the days following 9/11, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld wanted to set up an intelligence agency to infiltrate suspected terrorist groups, direct them towards committing acts of terror so they could be arrested and broken up afterwards. Collateral damage.
The alleged mastermind behind the London bombings was arrested two months before in Portland, Oregon for trying to set up terrorist camps outside the city.
It's easy to see that our leaders, our public servants who never put themselves or their family members in harm's way (not one member of Congress has any children or grandchildren fighting in Iraq) have no problem putting you or I or our children or grandchildren in harm's way, even in the safety of our own country. Our only purpose, besides paying taxes that fund all these atrocities, is to serve as collateral damage to help them forward their political agenda.
Don't look to the media to protect us either. In the case of Cindy Sheehan it seems to have sought out the most fringe elements of society who support her to make it look as if only crazy people are behind her. That is, when they have covered it at all.
Don't look to "compassionate conservative" George "Wuss" Bush. He is flown in and out of his Crawford ranch so he doesn't have to be reminded of what a cold hearted bastard he is as he drives off his ranch. That leaves you and me. And you are brainwashed.

Who Hates America

Recently I've been flood with posted comments from the brainwashed about I "hate America". This is just empty rhetoric pumped in to their heads by the corporate media by the same people who criticized Bill Clinton while our troops were fighting in Kosovo and Bosnia. None of them are able to dispute the facts, so they turn to personal attacks. Once you examine the facts, it's easy to see who hates America.
In 1620, when the Puritans landed at Plymouth Rock, they had come to the new world to escape the religious persecution they suffered all through Europe. At the time, all European countries had official religions and there was no protection for those who chose a different path. Our founding fathers recognized this when they wrote the Bill of Rights and barred establishing an official state religion and allowed it's citizens to worship (or not) in way they saw fit with no interference from the government. Reactionary media types like Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter feel we should conquer the Middle East and convert all the Muslims. They feel Muslims in America have no right to be here, and should expect to be persecuted for the actions of radical extremists over seas. Who hates America?
Lying to Congress is against the law. This is the crime Oliver North was later pardoned for as per his roll in the Iran-Contra Affair, a scheme by the Reagan administration to illegally sell arms to Iran then channel the funds to right wing death squads in Central America. George W Bush lied to Congress about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction and his ability to strike the US in forty five minutes. Who hates America?
Read any right wing blog and the brainwashed proudly list all the things they hate. They hate feminists. They hate gays. They hate unions. They hate Atheists. They hate liberals. They hate immigrants. They hate minorities. They hate Muslims and other non-Christians. They hate war protestors, even the ones that are

true conservatives

. When you add all these up, you get a majority of the people in this country. Who hates America?
The US Constitution specifically bars 'cruel and unusual' punishment. The Geneva convention, which America signed, specifically forbids torture. The Bush administration routinely sends prisoners of war, excuse me, "enemy combatants who were taken prisoner during a war" to other countries to be tortured. One method of torture is to maim children while their parents watch helpless. Contrary to what Hollywood would have you believe, torture is not an effective means of gathering intelligence, as any one with a thousand volts traveling through their gonads would pretty much confess to anything just to end the torture. Who hates America?
Under international law, there are but three justifications for war. One is a country who has threatened it's neighbor. Two is a country that has illegally invaded another country. Three is to defend your country from an invasion. A pre-emptive strike is a war crime, effectively making our troops war criminals, as well as our President who ordered it. Who hates America?
Joseph Wilson was sent to Nigeria to investigate claims that Saddam Hussein was seeking to purchase 'yellow cake' uranium. Mr. Wilson found these claims to be false and filed a report with the Bush administration. Colin Powell went before the UN with this report and selecting key phrases from the report, made it it seem as if Saddam had purchased the uranium. Joseph Wilson then wrote a piece for the New York Times disputing the Bush administration's assessment of his report. In retaliation, some one from the White House leaked Joe Wilson's wife as a CIA agent to the corporate media. The CIA front company that Wilson's wife worked for was no longer able to covertly monitor weapons of mass destruction. Exposing an intelligence agent in a time of war is an open act of treason. The traitor is still in the White House, protected from prosecution by the president himself. Logic that anyone who supports the Bush administration, supports a traitor, making themselves traitors in the process. Who hates America?

How They Gonna Stop Hillary?

Apparently, when Republicans inCongress appointed Patrick Fitzgerald as special prosecutor, they thought they were getting something else. You know, one of the Republican Borg who ape the same lies over and over and are beyond fiercely partisan. Instead of your typical right wing extremist, they got a true Republican, someone who believes in the Constitution.
And now he's going to pay for it. You see, instead of giving them the whitewash they were expecting in the Rove/Plame thang, they got some one who was willing to set aside partisan politics and do his job. This is so upsetting to these extremist nut jobs that now Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan) wants to investigate the investigator.
Keep in mind that these are the same people who fired Robert Fiske and replaced him with Kenneth Starr, then allowed the parameters to go beyond the original investigation of some sleazy land deal in to any thing they could get on Bill Clinton. (A little side note: In "The Best Democracy That Money Can Buy", author Greg Palast, the man who uncovered the vote fraud in Florida 2000 before the election, also looked through the business dealings of the Clintons and concluded, yes there were some laws broken, but in a deal cut with Republicans, the Democrats agreed to back off Triad Management and the Koch Brothers if the Republicans eased off Clinton.) Now that one of their own has traced the leak back to their beloved Fuhrer, the Republicans can't claim partisan politics. So, in typical Rovian fashion, they are looking for dirt on Fitzgerald in a classic case of the Republicans turning on their own.
This is the same kind of crap the made Jeffords of Vermont declare himself an independent. And it's not the first time that Bush has turned on a fellow Republican, personally smearing John McCain in the primaries of 2000. Imagine this if you will: John McCain sitting in an enemy prison while George W whooped it up with his buddies in the Texas Air National Guard.
Now imagine this if you will, who do the Republicans have to run as a candidate in 2008? Jeb Bush, Dick Cheney and Rick Santorum have already declined, although as Republican Borg, you really can't trust them, and really, the only one who has a snowball's chance is Jeb.
Because, you see, Hillary is running in 2008, and is sure to nab the Democrat nomination. And she is sure to win the support of AIPAC,which pretty much assures her winning the election. So how will they stop her?
After the terrorist attack (yes I'll still keep going on about that imminent attack until the ninety days are up), when Iran is nuked, martial law will declared and elections will suspended until the "threat" is gone. They've even gone and hired ex

KGB

Yevgeni Primakov to help set up a National ID card program along with Alexander Karpov and other former communists. We will officially become a police state.
But the threat is not Muslim "terrorists", rather, the threat is the Puppet Master who built the ten million dollar bunker underneath his house, who has led the brainwashing of the masses with lies wrapped in the American flag. Just this week it was discovered that the 'mastermind' behind the 7/7 bombings was arrested in Oregon for trying to set up a terrorist training camp outside Portland two months prior, and the US government ordered him released. Then he fled to South Africa wherer he was detained until the British government agreed to have him shipped to the US for his trial, and by the time to permission came through, he was long gone.
The Patriot Act has been 'strengthened'. The masses have been brainwashed. The

work camps

have been built and are already staffed. The ID cards are on the way. The US is just one "terrorist attack" away from becoming a fascist police state.
But, hey, I'm sure they'll let you keep waving that flag.

Fixing Things

Yep, if there's one thing them Republicans know how to do, it's fix things. The Bush administration fixed intelligence to justify the war in Iraq. This is a fact bore out by the Downing Street memo and Joseph Wilson.
In Florida 2000, Katherine Harris fixed the elction by illegally scrubbing 57,000 voters from the rolls because they were black and had similar names/birthdates/social security numbers of convicted felons. Now I've been around Republicans my whole life, and I know every one of you are racist, so this comes as no shock to me.
Also in 2000 Tom Feeney, a GOP Rep. approached a Florida company about developing software to

fix

electronic voting. Clint Curtis, a Republican who worked for the software company testified under oath. He also testified under oath that with the discrepancy between exit polls and election results inOhio in 2004, there was no doubt in his mind that vote changing software had been used.
Yep, they cerainly know how to fix things alright. Even things that aren't broken, like our election process.

Three Fingers Pointing Back At You

I've been flipping through the blogs and it seems that every conservative blog I come across, they blame the liberal for everything.
Was it a liberal who created alQaeda to keep the Russians out of Afghanistan?
But what gets me is how they blame the next terrorist attack on liberals, even though the Republicans have controlled the Congress for ten years and have had the White House for the last five.
I think that the next terror attack will happen soon, like in the nexy couple of days, while the movers and shaker of the world are having

gay sex

at Bohemian Grove.
Youcan besure that when it does happen, somehow and someway, the brainwashed will find a way to blame liberals for it.
Whatever happened to taking personal responsibility?

Bearing False Witness

Before we start today, here's a little brain exercise for you: If a person is arrested for planning to blow up a house of worship plus a Congressmen's office, that would pretty much make him a terrorist, right? So it would be a given that the Corporate media would go into a feeding frenzy if a story this big broke, right? Well...
In the months following 9/11 former JDL leader Irv Rubin was arrested for conspiring to blow up a California Mosque and the office of a US Congressman of Palestinian heritage. While in jail he attempted suicide by slashing his throat three times and throwing himself over the third tier railing of the jail where he was housed. He survived, only to die later from his injuries, yet nowhere in any news story or his obituary was he listed as a terrorist.
Lately a lot of the brainwashed have posted comments calling me all kinds of names, which I take as a compliment since they realize they can't argue with the truth. Because I have spoken out on Zionism, a lot of you have referred to me as anti-Jew. As an opened minded person, I try to have respect for all religions even though I believe in none. Judaism, (which is separate from Zionism), is one of the religions I respect the most. It seems to me that it's based on wisdom and spirituality from within one's self, not about seeing how many people it can convert to it's belief system. Perhaps it's because they know those seeking true wisdom will end up walking down their path.
In fact I respect all true religions, with the exception of Scientology and Satanism, which aren't religions at all but tax-free money making schemes. I do have problems with Fundamentalist Chrisitianity, because when they aren't being hypocrites, they're trying to shove Jesus down my throat. Don't ask me to suck Jesus's dick, 'cause I ain't swallowing it.
An example of Fundamentalist Christianity's hypocrisy is the war in Iraq. George W. Bush lied about the reasons we went there. He said Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. He didn't. He said Saddam had ties to al-qaeda. He didn't. He said Saddam had links to 9/11. He didn't. I believe in the Ten Commandments, this is called "bearing false witness", as in 'Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness". Some of these false witnesses he bore in front of the full congress. Lying to Congress is against the law. Except for when Republicans do it, then it is considered an act of patriotism. At least when Bill Clinton lied, he apologized to the American people afterward(which I realize is sort of like a rapist apologizing after he committed his heinous act).
Of course, the real reason we are fighting over there is to secure a "Greater Israel" because a long time ago, all the Middle East was Israel, but I don't think that was the UN's intention in creating a Jewish homeland. Another example of FC hypocricy is their disregard for the UN, when if it weren't for the UN, there'd be no state of Israel. Meanwhile they have no problem living in "God's Country" which is actually land we stole from the Indians.
So I ask myself, "Is this what Jesus would do?" Would he lie to start a war where civilians are killed (oops, I mean where the indigeonous sustain collateral damage)? Would he use this opportunity to steal the vital natural resources under their feet and billions of dollars from the American taxpayer? Perhaps if they hadn't made them take down the Ten Commandments from that Alabama Courthouse, George W Bush would be reminded that what he's doing is a sin.
It is reported that when as Governor of Texas, George W. Bush made a trip to Israel. On the plane he joked with reporters and said:"The first thing I'm gonna say when I get off the plane is'You're all going to Hell'." Since according to one comment, I'm going to Hell for lying, even though everything I post is based on fact, perhaps when I get there I can look forward to seeing George W Bush and every Jewish person in the world there. If only I believed in Hell.....

Who Is Brainwashed?

Recently, someone posted a comment with a link on this blog, followed by the question, who is brainwashed? I followed the link to a fascist pro-war web site (which is ironic because one of the things they claimed that war ended was fascism. And if you don't think that these pro-war anti-dissention right wingers are fascist, just compare their actions to the brown shirts of the Nazi party.
There, on the home page, I saw it. Zion.
Yes, folks, the real reason we are fighting and killing and dying in the Middle East is not a war against terror, it is a Holy War. We are fighting to create a Greater Israel. Because according to two separate, unrelated passages in the Book of Revelations, when a Greater Israel is created, then Jesus will come back, the rapture will begin and all good Christians will rise to Heaven.
My brother James has been studying scripture and Biblical matters for thirty years. He says (he quoted a source that slips my mind) when they got together to decide which books will go in the Bible and which ones to leave out, there was a question of whether this should even be in here.
The Book of Revelations has been used by the truly insane to "predict" Jesus' return for centuries. ^Take a little from here put it with this and voila, you have a Biblical"truth". Surely you've heard of the Book Of Revelations, haven't you? It was the book Charles Manson used to justify his killing spree.
And how did he get his followers to believe it? He repeated it over and over, until they had no choice to believe it as they were brainwashed. Much the same way that right wingers listen to Rush, and Sean, and Michael Savage, and Fox News repeat the same lie over and over until they believe it. Like the way they all repeated the lies about Iraq(WMD, links to 9/11,etc., etc.) until the American people were brainwashed.
While I'd kind like to see this all played out to the end so when Jesus doesn't come I can go haw-haw, losing my freedom to the Likudniks really wouldn't be worth it. But if you do believe it, that all the Middle East belongs to Israel (such is the basis of Zionism), because thousands of years ago it was all Israel, may I make a suggestion. Get the fuck out of the US as this land all belongs to the Indians.
You are brainwashed.

It's Time For The I.D.I.O.T. Act

With the next terror attack not a matter of if, but of when, it's time to take a closer look at the war on terror. If the recently "strengthened " Patriot Act isn't going to protect us, it needs to be repealed, since it's entire purpose was to prevent another 9/11. If The Department of Homeland Security is unable to protect us, maybe it's time to dismantle it. If the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan haven't stopped terrorists, maybe we ought to look at new ways to end terrorism (see my previous post for a couple of suggestions). And most important, if the Bush Administration is unable to stop it, everyone in it deserves to be removed from office.
That's why I propose the I.D.I.O.T. Act (for Intentional Dis Informing Oligarchic Traitors) to be initiated. What this act would do is call for removal of any politician so inept that they put America's security at risk. Jail time would be mandatory for any leader who intentionally lies to the people to serve their agenda, or any political operative who exposes America's intelligence operatives. It also calls for special elections to replace those politicians jailed for breaking this or any other law, with outside impartial observers to make sure that the elections are honest. Any party caught deliberately scrubbing voter rolls, or tampering with touch screen voting machines would automatically be banned from participating in the next elections.
Any politician using his positon to make a profit for himself or any company of cronies he still has ties to would be forbidden from holding public office again. Any politician who allows torture or any other unconstitutional act, or any act that violates any treaty that America has signed on to, would also be banned, as well as forced to do prison time in a maximum security prison. Any politician who puts another country's security ahead of the US would also be banned from holding office, while campaign contributions can only be made by Americans. Repeat offenders would be sentenced to twenty years at Gitmo, chained up in the $46,000.00 dog cages built by Halliburton.
Also, any act of aggression towards any country not directly involved in any act of terror against America would be grounds for impeachment, as well as forging the documentation to prove they did.
The only way this act could pass was if the people stopped voting for the Democraps or Republicants. Both parties have shown their wanton disregard for the American people by passing the original Patriot Act, NAFTA and it's li'l brother CAFTA. It's time for some new parties to take charge that will answer to the people, not Corporate America or Israel. Parties that will realize that America's concerns stop at her borders, not in some oil rich nation.
It's time to put America first. It's time for the I.D.I.O.T. Act.

How To End Terrorism

Recently on this blog, I've been ranting about the upcoming terror attack, which will be used as a justification for a nuclear strike against Iran. Then I stated how I am probably safe, living in a predominately Republican region.
Yesterday, as I was out smoking at work, my smoking buddy pointed out an Air Force jet.
"There it goes again, that Air Force jet's been looping around here for a while." I wouldn't have even noticed it, as I work near the airport, if he hadn't pointed it out. I mean, it could have just been a refueling plane, I'm not really familiar with military aircraft, I just know it didn't look like the fighters in the commercials for "Stealth". So I stood out there and smoked, and watched the plane, and damned if it wasn't looping around the building I worked at several times.
Then I realized I was just being paranoid, and went back to work.

I came up with a solution to end terrorism. It's a real simple plan.

1. Stop supporting Israel The root of all terrorism stems from the fact that Israel has systematically taken over Palestinian land, and are this stage it would appear that they are carrying out genocide against the Palestinian people. Now, I'm no Holocaust denier, I just don't think that because the Nazis tried to exterminate the Jews that this gives the state of Israel the right to act like Nazis. The Arab world hates us because we use our seat on the Security Council to veto any resolution critical of Israel, a country which stands in violation of more UN resolutions than Iraq under Saddam. We have sent more aid to Israel than we have spent our space program (sorry to the guys who just went up. Maybe you can make it back with out the pieces that fell off on lift off.) The current government is full of Israel-firsters, which leads to the question, Shouldn't America's loyalty be to America first? If you had a friend, and that friend kept on committing crimes, wouldn't you distance yourself from that friend before he drags you down with him too?
2. Stop using America's military as enforcers for corporate America. Corporate America has all but abandoned the American people. With the passage of CAFTA, even more jobs will be sucked out of this country. Virtually every Presidency since WWII has used the military forces to allow Corporate America to get a foothold in a place, or to support brutal right wing dictators(like Saddam) who are friendly to American business. I'm sure that the peoples of these countries would be a lot less hostile towards us if the boot up their ass didn't have a US soldier's foot in it. By the US government messing around in these countries, we have created more enemies than friends.

Of course, What The @%#* Do I know? (http://kdmurphy.blogspot.com)

Bush Supporters Are Unpatriots

Get your damn flag out of my face! Soldiers have died fighting for the Constitution that flag represents. Don't tell me to shut up and get behind the President, the Constitution gives me the right to dissent, and That's the same Constitution George Bush swore to uphold with his hand on the Bible, for Chrissakes! But nothing in the current administration has any thing to do with the United States of America.

1. America is a democracy. Well, actually, we're a republic, but still, we do hold elections. And the American way is nice clean elections. Bush's idea of democracy is Florida 2000, Ohio 2004, or Iraq, 2005. http://www.wsws.org/articles/2005/jul2005/iele_j26.shtml
2. America opposes torture. We oppose it so much, we expressly forbid "cruel and unusual" punishment. We signed the Geneva accords which also bans it. Humans captured and held prisoner in the course of war are prisoners of war. Changing their title to "enemy combatants" only fools the idiots who haven't thought far enough ahead to reason that if we do it, it gives our enemies an excuse to do it, too. I'm sure that if they were allowed to see the pictures that would make Donald Rumsfeld blanche http://editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000990590 they may see the evil our country has become. Perhaps that's why the Pentagon won't release them.
3. America is free enterprise. Giving no-bid contract after no-bid contract to a company misusing funds and overcharging the taxpayer is not free enterprise, it's theivery.
4. America is about justice. You know, like it says at the end of the pledge of allegiance "..with liberty and justice for all". What does it say about American justice when a potetially innocent man is executed in Texas, while a traitor to the American people stays in the White House. The CIA operation exposed by Mr. Rove was monitoring weapons of mass destruction around the world and now is unable to do so, endangering the American citizen. You would almost think that the Bush Administration wants the "terrorists" to attack http://politics.guardian.co.uk/iraq/comment/0,12956,1036687,00.html and you'd probably be right.
5. America is a non-aggressor nation. We have never stood for conquest of any sovereign nation for the sole purpose of stealing their vital natural resources.

Today on the radio, it said some organization voted Canada the stupidest government in the world, but I don't remember Canada doctoring evidence to justify an illegal invasion. It never made it's token lackey stand before the whole world with a bunch of false documents (that the whole world outside these borders knew was fake). I'm sure the Prime Minister of Canada can pronounce nuclear. No, the only thing dumber than our government are the moronic flag waving unpatriots that support it still. Some people will never be unbrainwashed, right Judus?

Dick Cheney Before He Dicks You

Dick Cheney has said that he will not run in 2008 and may step down for "health reasons". (He's just sick about all the money he could be making at Halliburton). This would allow W to appoint a new VP (Jeb? Rudy? Colin?) who would be the Republican candidate in 2008, as a battle for the nomination could rip the Party apart. Unless Israel has decided that Hillary will be our next president.
That is, if there even is an election. For some reason, Cheney built a concrete bunker under his residence in DC in the months after 9/11. Since he probably was in the loop on that whole thing, perhaps some terrible is being planned for DC, on the nuclear scale.
Why else would Cheney have contingency plans drawn up to nuke Iran? http://www.antiwar.com/justin/?articleID=6734 Even if there was nothing linking them to the "terror attack"? Since the Bush Administration has made it very clear they intend on going to Iran, how soon will the "terror attack" occur? Within the next ninety days! http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,161962,00.html Like 9/11 and 7/7 it will likely occur during a drill http://www.libertyforum.org/showflat.php?Cat=Board=news_government&Number=293794349#Post293794349 with ethnic types going through the motions http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0713051fbi1.html while Israeli/American intelligence operatives carry out the real attack.
I'm sure the date will be significant, as in 9/11 or 7-7, perhaps this will be August Twelfth. (8-12 or ate one too) Since this will a more widespread attack, where else will it occur? (I feel safe where I am as both Pete Secchia and the DeVos family live in the area and we, I mean the terrorists would never nuke them)
Everyday we take one step closer to being the Evil Empire, with Cheney as the Emperor. (W would be like Jar-Jar) It sickens me because I know they did not seize power legally. They have been corrupt and secretive on every matter. Judith Miller is in jail because she is either being protective of Cheney, or she's afraid what will happen to her if she rats him out. Before 9/11, Cheney was drawing up plans to split up Iraq's oilfields at his secret energy task force meetings.
How did he know he was going to have an excuse to do it? Has he already divvied up Iran's oilfields? Does he know that the Russians would consider it an act of war to blow up one of the reactors they are building for Iran? Is that why he built that bomb shelter under his house? Or is that where he's going to go in case the American people get wise to him and decide to tar and feather him?

Sunday Morning Disinformation Nation

Woke up before the kids today, so I decided to look at the tv to see what was up. The local Fox affiliate was broadcasting Jerry Fallwell's latest scam to fleece the flock. If you didn't have to pay taxes, you'd always have your hand out, too.
The local NBC affiliate was wrapping up Sunday Today with a statement by a mother to the killer/rapist of her young daughter. Then they announced that the mother was going to be interviewed Monday on Today. Then, they cut to Tim Russert announcing he was going to have Fred Thompson on, point man for the Bush Administration's latest judicial nominee.
I switched to the local ABC affiliate, they had some other palm-extended televangilist, so I went back to Fox as I no longer have cable and it was the top of the hour.
Fox News Sunday opened up with a story about the "terror suspect" (their words) gunned down by British Police in the tube last week. They then cut to the head of London police profusely apologizing for gunning down an innocent man. Then they brought out the apologists and propagandists who would be appearing on their fair and balanced show, including PNAC shill Bill Kristol. I can't stand that fucker, as they all seem to defer to him on everything. They, too, were discussing the latest Supreme Court nominee, with Alberto Gonzales. So I switched off the tv.
Most of the time, during the week, the tv stays off. There are a couple syndicated shows I may watch with dinner, I have yet to find a prime time show worthy of my attention (except for the Simpson's). When the kids visit, the only thing they watch are tapes or movies we rent. I don't read the local paper, unless they decide to print a letter of mine, but usually I have to include links to my sources of information as no one at the Press heard about the Downing Street Memo, Joseph Wilson, or any of the other crimes of the Bush administration.

Good Ol' American Self-Proctology

Driving home from work on Friday, I became incensed because for some reason I was reduced to driving forty miles an hour in the left lane on the freeway where the posted speed was seventy. Rule No. 1 in my book is if you're in the left lane, the least you could do is the maximum speed limit, unless you're unable to because of road conditions.
I looked up the road and I saw what was happening. A line of cars were in the right lane stuck behind a semi that had yet to build up to speed. In the left lane, there was a car about ten cars ahead of me that was slowing down to let all these people through. Every time a car from the right went in front of the other car, the driver would hit the brakes, send red lights flashing all the way down the left lane, about twenty cars behind me.

This went on until all the cars in the right lane had worked their way around the semi, then the driver accelerated to fifty to pass the semi (eventually) forcing all the cars ahead of me to pass he on the right.

As I approached, I could tell the driver was confused. Not because she was an old lady shaking her head as she tried navigate that Messcort in to the right lane. I could tell she was confused as she still had her Bush/Cheney '04 sticker on her car, along with several different magnetic ribbons attached to her car. As I finally passed her, I wish I had some kind of bomb to throw at her containing a gas that would wake the bitch up. Hello? Downing Street Memo? Rovegate? Florida 2000? Ohio 2004? Abu Ghirab? Camp X-Ray?

I also saw the same sticker on a service vehicle from a local company that I will never do business with. But I'm keeping my faith that the truth will out. Already more people are waking up to the fact the Iraq War was a (bad?evil?) idea. (http://www.yubanet.com/artman/publish/article_23069.shtml) The more the truth works it's way through other channels, the more the corporate media will be forced to follow suit. It's bad enough that our public servants, who are supposed to work for us, not Halliburton and Israel, lie to us, but when our supposed watchdog "liberal" media backs up those lies they find themselves scrambling for credibility, just as we've seen recently with the flood of "official" explainations in London changing as the public discredits obvious cover-ups.

I was having a conversation with my sister when she stated, "All those people over there complaining about video camers everywhere, calling it 'Big Brother', what do they have to say now?" Obviously she had been watching corporate media news or listening to her husband, a Dittohead.

"Yep," I replied, "all those cameras didn't stop the 'terrorists'. It didn't show the suspects carrying backpacks or bombs. Doesn't explain how one suspect who blew him self up had ID at two bombing sights. It's like the ID they found at the World Trade center that miraculously survived the explosion that the black boxes didn't."

"Yeah, how'd that happen," she acknowledged. Once you hit people with enough logic they will slowly pull their heads out. That's what you have to do, one by one. Some people will still choose to remain brainwashed, defending their President no matter how evil (like judas). They must like the view up there. You don't start with the big truths, you start with the little ones working all the way up to the PNAC. Along the way, you expose propaganda shills and disinformation agents (Judith Miller should rot in jail!) so you can understand which sources are trustwothy and which are publicists for the New World Order.

But you can't give up, or runaway in frustration. Then they win. And they did all this stuff when they didn't win.

Celebrities and Politics

Mike and Lewis
Back in the eighties, I watched a documentary about a city in my state and how it had fallen on hard times do to the major employer in town shutting down a massive manufacturing facility. It was a funny movie, and sad and maddening at times.
Later the director of this film was given a tv show on a major network, called TV Nation. In it, he showed the silliness and criminality of corporate America, as well as ridiculing legislation such as NAFTA. Of course this show, which was witty and informative, was doomed. This person then went on to write more books and make moore movies and became a celebrity in the process, something I'm not sure he had originally intended. I like his stuff because while it may have a liberal slant to it, for the most part it is honest And while I don't agree with him 100% on all he says, there is a lot of thruth in what he says.Like NAFTA not being good for this country.
One reason that I have respect for the man, is that although he voices his opinion frequently as a liberal, he never felt the compulsion to run for public office.
Conservatives hate this man. They hate all liberal celebrities who speak on the liberal agenda. Why? Do they fear that fans of these people are to stupid to think for themselves that they'll do and believe everything they say?
Conservative celebrites, on the other hand, have a tendency to go beyond just speaking their mind. They actually run for office. Ronald Reagan, Fred Grandy, Sonny Bono are but a few of the conservative celebrities who have held a national office. Then there's Arnold.
Now, I like some of Arnold's movies. While I feel he is limited as an actor, the roles he picks don't require a stretch on his part at all.
Except for his current role as Governor of California. Apparantly, he is so inept he may have broke the law. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050721/pl_nm/politics_scharzenegger-dc) Why is it that the conservative law and order types (George W Bush, Arnold, Karl Rove) are always breaking the law? Then, when caught, instead of taking the personal responsibility for their actions, they lie about it. They use their office for personal monetary gain (Dick Cheney, Arnold, Alphonse D'Amato) as they slash spending to help out the "people who are too lazy to work" as my conservative friend the Coach is fond of saying.
Mr. Moore is not a liberal celebrity who gives his opinion, he is a liberal who became a celebrity because of his opinion. He may be flawed but he is the first to admit that. I think the conservatives call that "personal responsibility". Now I understand why they hate him.

You're A Dirty Commie, Too

When I was a lad, there was nothing feared more than a dirty commie. They enslaved their people, they broke treaties, they invaded countries (sound familiar?) and generally wanted to take over the world. Eventually, the Soviet Union went broke because they didn't export a whole lot and they spent most their money on the military as they tried to conquer the world and keep up in the arms race with the US.
China is a communist country too, a dictatorship with a human rights record worse than ours has become since 9/11. They will never go broke because they are being supported by, well, you and me. Most everything we buy is made in China.
It's a strange occurence where two belief systems diametrically opposed to each other (Christian capitalism, Godless communism) can come to a mutual understanding. Maybe it's because they both get to exploit the Chinese laborer as well as the American consumer. The American consumer doesn't care if what they'll die with out is made in China, commies aren't a threat any more. They're more preoccupied with the "war on terror" to think about how their cash is being used to support a brutal dictatorship. As long as it's inexpensive.
And they certainly can't read the writing on the wall. The US doesn't export a whole lot. Our government is spending most of our money fighting a war to conquer the world. Eventually, we'll go broke.
Then the Godless Chinese communists will be sitting over there in Beijing with wads of American dollars in their hands. And all we'll have to sell them is our people, most our property will be owned by Europe. Then the whole world will fall under the way of communism, just like Marx predicted. All because you had to have some useless trinket that was made in China.

You Dirty Commie supporter.

Positively Negative

Recently, I received a comment from a reader about the negativity displayed on this blog. They then proceeded to disparage me with personal attacks on my character. And I suppose one could see it that way, even myself.
And I suppose I could post a comment about how much I liked, Batman Begins, a movie I saw over the weekend. I could talk about how well the story was constructed, the excellent direction by Christopher Nolan, or the great performances by Gary Oldman, Michael Caine, Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, and Liam Neeson. I could recommend the movie to just about anyone, but it would just be my opinion. Such is the same with my other postings, they are just opinions.
But unfortunately, I am no longer like "got a grip". I don't sit back and drink a beer or smoke a bong, watch t.v. and pretend there's nothing wrong with this picture. And going through my previous postings, I don't think I was excessively harsh on anybody, except for those slime bucket brain damaged "we've come for your children" army recruiters. What I do is merely base my opinion on facts I find on the web, and then post a link to the source of the facts. (Or like now where I post alink to cool blog I found http://www.weirdandfunkyart.blogspot.com )
I do this because fact is as close to truth as you can get. Ten years ago, when I was a stoner, I saw a doc on the local public access channel that contained raw footage from the seige at Waco. The movie went on to show how NBC then edited the raw footage to make it appear as if the Branch Davidians had fired first. This is from the same media that was telling me that NAFTA would be great for this country. I began to read, and more important, I began to think. One by one I removed the knowledge filters and belief systems. I began to speak out more, at the untruths spewed forth by the left and the right.
More importantly, I became angry at the direction I saw my country headed in. I felt frustrated because there was nothing I can do. Then I discovered this place through http://whatreallyhappened.com . I can complain about it here, and maybe, when the "terrorists" attack during a training drill http://www.libertyforum.org/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=news_government&Number=293794349#Post293794349 I can say, I tol' ya!


I call it being positively negative.

Is the FBI Recruiting Patsies?

It's funny how those who don't believe in conspiracy theories will swallow the official government story on 9/11 when in fact the official government story involves a conspiracy by al-Quida to attack America. Point this up to them and they mean they don't believe our government was involved.
Now comes this little bit of info (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0713051fbi1.html) that the FBI is actively recruiting certain ethnic types to take part in "training exercises". Is this similar to the training drill that was going on at the same time as the London terror attacks, in which a scenario exactly like the one that occurred was being played out as a drill?(http://www.onlinejournal.com/commentary/071305Leonard/071305leonardhtm) Which is what happened on 9/11, when a training exercise involving hijacked planes was going on at the same time as the real thing. Coincidence? How could al-Quida have had access to intelligence twice that they could use to their advantage? Who else, besides our government, would have access to such intelligence?
Are these "recruits" being set up to be patsies for the upcoming "terror attacks" (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,161962,00.html) that will unite the country behind an invasion of Iran? Or should we not pay attention, because this is all speculation on a conspiracy theory?

What Kind Of Idiots Do They Think We Are?

My brother James called my brother Sean on the day of the London Bombings and joked, "Before you hear it from Lewis, the Carlyle Group did it!"
While I'm sure that they had nothing to do with it, they sure as shit will profit from it, and that begs the question: who does profit from the terror attacks?
Does al-Quida? With Britain announcing it's withdrawal from Iraq on July 4, was this the terrorists way of bringing the fight to England? Would fanatical Muslim terrorists misquote the Koran on the web site where they claimed responsibility(http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8496293)? Why would they use timers for their bombs, then stick around to die in the blast(http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20050712/wl_afp/britainattacksbombers_050712154820) ? How do the terrorists know when our security measures (NORAD in the case of 9/11, video surveillance cameras in London) would be out of order? Why would Netanyahu get an advanced warning, but none else (http://news.yahoo.com/ap/20050707/ap_re_mi_ea/israel_britain_explosions_1) ? Why did this happen right when Bush was trying to dominate the G-8 conference with his anti-terrorist agenda? As the Karl Rove and Downing Street Memos stories develop steam, was this a distraction to keep the American sheeple focused on "evildoers"? Is this, along with the impending terrorist attack in this country (see story below) to be used for justification for our upcoming invasion of Iran?
And what of those impending terrorist attacks? Why, after four years, have we not been able to locate one al_Quida cell in this country? With all the security measures since 9/11, how could terrorists have got in this country? We wouldn't even let Cat Stevens in for Christ's sake! If another attack does occur in this country, is it wrong to get angry at those who think that we're stupid enough to fall for it again?

Hate To Say It, But........

Recently Fox News quoted terrorism expert Juval Aviv as saying there will be a major terrorist attack in the next couple of months, "Ninety days at the most," he said. (You can read it for yourself right here: http://www.foxnews.com/story/10,2933,161962,00.html) This struck me in several ways.
First, aren't we supposed to be safer now that we have given our liberties up? A terrorist attack in this country (which is where it would have to occur to get the American people behind what they have planned) would be impossible since we've spent so much money on Homeland Security, right? Since intelligence sources are aware of activity within the terrorist community (isn't that an oxymoron?) why not stop them before they commit their act of terror?
Second, these terrorist attacks always happen at a time convenient for the Bush regime and their agenda. We were planning an invasion of Afghanistan six months before 9/11 gave Bush the excuse to invade that country. The anthrax letters arrived just in time to get the Patriot Act railroaded through Congress. The London bombings occurred as Blair and Bush were trying to dominate the G-8 conference with terrorist talks. As well as distracting the public attention away from that Karl Rove thing. And now that covert operations have begun towards our invasion of Iran, perhaps an aircraft carrier in the Gulf, like the Carl Vinson, or something will be "nuked" by Iran. With help from Osama Bin Laden, who's hiding out there(http://www.welfarestate.com/binladen/funeral).
Third, I seem to remember posting this very same warning a couple of weeks ago. (See "TERRORIST ATTACKS IMMINENT!"). Since this attack will be on Americans, probably as they go to work, it will also lay the ground work for a National ID card with a tracking chip in it. And since everybody's movements will be tracked by satellite, crime will go down as microchips don't lie. And with crime eradicated, there will be no need for guns for personal protection.
Of course now I'm being ludicrous, but keep in mind I was being ludicrous when I posted my previous prognostication. Whether or not any thing will happen remains to be seen, but if it does, I hate to say it, but, I told you so.

Media elitist Vs. Bloggers

Recently, Doonesbury cartoonist Garry Trudeau published a strip criticizing bloggers for their lack of journalistic skills and business acumen (I can make money doing this?) You can check it out at http://www.doonesbury.com/strip/dailydose/index.html?uc_full_date=20050703 . This is an example of how the corporate media are running scared when it comes to the bloggers are developing (not me, I suck at this) in creating national political dialogue. The Downing Street Memo would have disappeared if weren't for the persistence of the bloggers. As I reported earlier in "90 Miles An Hour into A Media Stonewall" when I mentioned the Downing Street memos in passing in an email to the local press, the editor emailed me back wanting proof of the Memo.
One point that Trudeau tries to make is that if bloggers were serious journalists, they would go to school and get a job at a newspaper. In Noam Chomsky's "What Makes Mainstream Media Mainstream?" he states that the purpose of college is to weed out those who won't follow the line. The corporate media tries to influence endless stories of celebrity trials and runaway brides and any other pointless story that diverts attention away from the fact that Karl Rove is the traitor who leaked Valerie Plame's name to the press. Or that Bush has already started covert operations in Iran designed to prepare for that impending illegal invasion.
But the corporate media has started up the propaganda machine for Iran already as Bush makes his case for an invasion of Iran at the G-8 conference. "We cannot let Iran develop nuclear weapons," his brave pronouncement as he begins another round of lies designed to tricking the people into sending their children to die for no apparent reason. Iran doesn't have or want nuclear weapons. What it wants is nuclear power. None of this will be reported by Garry Trudeau or other corporate media lackey elitists.
The other point is that bloggers don't make a lot of money (if any) so what they do can't be considered serious journalism. I say it's the other way around. Serious jopurnalism doesn't include copying White House or corporate press releases verbatim and call that reporting. Serious journalism doesn't include runaway brides, scare of the weeks, celebrity scandals, or any kind of sports reporting. Serious reporting is like Greg Palast, the guy who uncovered the scrubbed voter rolls in Florida. Serious journalism is a thousand bloggers providing a link to the Downing Street Memo, at no charge to their readers.
I don't do this for the money. I don't know if anyone actually reads this crap. But I do like to write and I do like to give my opinion, this gives me a chance to do both. What Mr. Trudeau's strip reflected to me was a fear of blogs evetually replacing the print medium. With no newspapers to print his strip, he would be out of a job. Then, he would have to get a real one. Then we can see how much money Mr. Trudeau can make.

Knowledge Filters and Belief Systems

Truth is all in how you perceive things to be, when you change your perceptions your truths will change as well. Everybody has a unfaltering belief in something and that belief clouds your perception of truth.
And you will find for that every belief system in place on Earth, there is another belief system that is completely opposite. These people become your enemy, their belief system held up for ridicule. What they don't see is that their own belief system is just as ridiculous.
One inherent problem with this that in order to hold one's beliefs, one must accept lies as truth and truth as lies. Every belief system is protected by a knowledge filter, some thing I read about in an article entitled "Forbidden Archaeology" by Michael A. Cremo. In his article (and book of the same name) he discusses how human skeletal remains found embedded in rock formations millions of years old have been hidden away, all because their existence prove Darwin wrong, and the Darwinists can't accept that fact.
Fact. That's what it comes down to, fact. Johnny shot Billy. His motives may be in question, the evidence lacking, but that's a hard fact. Not a statistic, fact.
You can quote a percentage of murders that go unsolved. Doesn't change a thing.
Jesus died for your sins. That's an opinion. Since I don't believe in sin, just bad decisions, I haven't "sinned" so Jesus did nothing for me. Sin is a label given to natural human urges by the church to keep the "sinners" coming with their tithings every week.
Of course I pick on the Christians because their knowledge filter is the most wackiest thing! Christians who were indignant when President Clinton lied about a blow job were heard to say: "It's not what he did, it's that he lied about it." Now their guy George W Bush is caught telling the biggest lie and .......well, we'll get back to you because unlike the Monica Lewinsky thing, the Downing Street Memo has been ignored by the Mainstream Media.
All belief systems are based on fear in one form or another. To pick on them Christians again, their beliefs are held in place by the fear of going to Hell. Racists fear those different from them. The Mainstream Media acts as a knowledge filter while simultaneously feeding those fears. Any belief system that contradicts the accepted belief systems are held up for ridicule. Any statement of fact not acceptable within accepted belief systems is written off as conspiracy theory. Any story that feeds our deepest darkest fears in an acceptable way is the big news story of the day.The "War On Terror" is an example. The Government and the Mainstream Media use it to keep us fearful that those people with unacceptable belief systems may attack us at any moment. The unbrainwashed realize this is just a farce, a tool used to prop political approval ratings up around election time, as well as an excuse to to do just about anything we damn well please because we're the only Super Power left and no one can stop us. But to the masses, propped in front of their television sets with their duct tape and plastic sheeting, the terror level is a real thing. Millions of Americans still believe Saddam had ties to al-Queida. Of course, these are the same people who believe there's a "secret code" in the bible, it just goes to show you how their knowledge filter supports their belief system.
Some belief systems and knowledge filters co-exist to support each other. Some people's Christianity can be plugged in to their political beliefs, even if the two appear to be opposed. I'm sure as many Republicans as Democrats claim to be Christians. And, they would have you believe that there is a difference between the two, when in fact the third unseen knowledge filter prevents them from seeing the truth, they are one and the same. Most candidates exist to siphon votes from those candidates not owned by the people who control the knowledge filters, or to hedge the bets of those in control. When a bill passes Congress, such as NAFTA or the Patriot Act, with a large majority, one only needs to trace who benefits to find who owns our Congress. That our Congress works for Americans, that there is difference between the major parties, these are untruths held in place by knowledge filters.
There is no Grand Conspiracy at work, most people who act in behalf of a belief system have no knowledge of the hidden agenda they are pushing. They truly believe in what they say, just as those with the same belief systems believe they are being told the truth.
And ultimately, is this supposed age of information, our media filters stories as well. The whole Downing Street Memo was kept out of the American Media until bloggers began pushing the story. Actually, the list of filtered stories would be enough to fill several blogs.
Eventually, the knowledge filters reinforce the belief system to the point that one can't understand why every one doesn't see it that way, and we begin forcing our belief systems on others. Animal rights activists, for instance, have no idea that their belief system was created by Anton LeVey, who also founded the First Church of Satan. They may believe it's cruel to test on animals, but the truth is, it's pointless. Toxins to humans may not be toxins to animals. Rather than focus on that aspect, that testing on animals is wrong because they have different DNA, they focus on the cruelty aspect. These same people, who detest cruelty to animals, also disdain hunting, even though hunting deer, for instance, thins out the herd so that food is plentiful and no deer has to die a long painful death from starvation. Most hunters hunt to put food on the table for their families, not for the enjoyment of inflicting cruelty on animals.
Gun rights are another issue where both sides employ knowledge filters to reinforce their beliefs. Pro-gun advocates feel that every one should own a gun to protect themselves. Unfortunately, there is a large population who should never own guns; it's just too bad that most of them don't know it. I, for one, have enough sense to know that with my short fuse and irrational anger, a gun is the last thing I need to put my hands on. Anti-gun advocates feeling that outlawing guns would reduce crime but think about this. For years, I was a pot smoker. Everyday, I would fire one up, even though I knew it was illegal. Never stopped me, because for me the desire to get high over rode my desire to obey the law. Now, if someone with criminalistic tendencies wishes to own a gun, do you really think that outlawing them will make one give them up? Like the NRA says, when guns are out lawed, only outlaws will have guns. In an ideal world, sure, we wouldn't need guns, but this is not an ideal world. It's too overpopulated with people who use their knowledge filters to reinforce their belief systems.

Jerry Fallwell: Leader of the Sheeple, or Who Cares About a Traitor in the White House We've Got A Supreme Court To Pack

When the Bush Administration claimed it had documents proving Saddam Hussein was trying to acquire Nigerian yellow cake uranium, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson investigated these claims and found them to be false, the documents crude forgeries. Someone from the Bush Administration then retaliated by exposing Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame as a CIA operative, which is a treasonous offense as she was working undercover at the time.
Now it appears that the source of the leak is none other than Karl Rove, (http:///www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/atricles_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000972841) . Applying Socratic logic it follows that:

1. Exposing intelligence agents is an act of treason in a time of war.
2. Karl Rove exposed Valerie Plame
3. Karl Rove is a traitor

Now, seeing how conservatives were so delighted to call anti-war protesters as 'giving aid and comfort to the enemy', their silence in this open act of treason has been more than deafening.

Nowhere was this made more clear to me than this morning. In the wake of Sandra Day O'Connor's retirement announcement, Jerry Fallwell was preaching not the word of God, but the word of Jerry as told to by the GOP. In the fifteen seconds I caught before the kids went "Yaaauuugh! Church tv!" and switched it off, Ol' Jerry mentioned 'activist judges', 'gay marriages' and 'abortion rights' in a sermon that had more to do with reactionary right wing politics than any real religious experience or Biblical matter.

You see, as I'm sure Jerry went on to explain, God wants for the sheeple to pray for George W. Bush to guide him as he seeks a replacement for Ms. O' Connor (well, maybe not Ms.) as well as the other two expected retirees from the court in the next three years. In fact, according to sources, the reason O'Connor voted to stop the recount in Florida, one that would have proven Al Gore the winner, was that she wanted to retire and didn't want to replaced by a liberal.

I'm sure as well that Jerry went on about needing judges who respected life (which, oddly includes abortions, but excludes deaths caused by a rogue superpower intent on implementing it's twisted version of democracy on countries unfriendly to US business practices) and used the Bible as guidance, as opposed to the constitution.

What Mr. Fallwell is doing is not so much informing his followers as he is acting as their knowledge filter. I'm sure when Ol' Jerry moans about 'activist judges' 'legislating from the bench' he forgets to inform them that the purpose of the judicial branch is to provide checks and balances on the legislative and executive branches of the government. When a law passed is challenged before the court, it is the duty of the judge to determine if that law violates our constitutional rights. And if, in their interpretation of the constitution, that law is wrong, it is struck down. No activism, just checks and balances. What conservatives fail to realize, or maybe they do, is that the Constitution is really a liberal piece of work, with it's separation of powers, rights, and all those other liberal ideas.

What Fallwell and Co. are looking for is an end to abortion, as it has proven to have created a shortage of cannon fodder for their Holy War against the infidels (who are fighting a Holy War against the infidels) and in order for Jesus to come back, big oil, I mean, Israel, must control the Middle East, with Good Sheeple as their slavvering lackeys. Then the rapture comes, all good Christians float up to Heaven, Israel controls the World and God is happy.

Also, they wish for a return to prayer in the Public Schools, because in order for Christian brainwashing to be effective, it must be started at an early age. More Christians means more money for Mr Fallwell. More sheeple mean more votes for whoever meets Mr. Fallwell's agenda.And who was it that said prayer in school violated the constitutions separation of church and state? The Supreme Court!

So don't worry about the President, who had documents forged, nor those in his administration who commit acts of treason, nor the illegal war they started in Iraq or the torture of prisoner of war(oh, excuse me I mean enemy combatant detainees) the important thing is to pack the Supreme Court with the morals of Jerry Fallwell. Which, if reflected in the corrupt government he supports, are seriously lacking.

Jesus is The Flavor of the Weak

Jesus' followers are generally weak people with no control over there natural biological urges with out fear of damnation hanging over there heads. Christianity is used by the ruling elite to keep the sheep in the flock instead of wanting what the wealthy have. Christians sleep better knowing that when they die, they go to heaven, while, the rich man has a better chance of riding a camel through the eye of needle. Of course when they die, and there is no heaven to go to, it's too late, they got screwed and the rich keep getting richer.
Christians vote based not on their own religious beliefs, but on the beliefs of the candidates they support. Bill Clinton and George W. Bush both claim to be Christians, both are pathological liars. A Christian wouldn't commit adultery, and if he does, his sins are forgiven only if they are the right kind of Christian. A Christian wouldn't bear false witness (i.e., forge documents) so they could kill (i.e., invade Iraq) to steal (take Iraqi oil), yet the same Christian right who despised Bill Clinton's indiscretions seem to have absolved George Bush of all his.

But the Jesus they worship is myth, no more real than Superman or Winnie-The -Pooh. A book available at www.thebiblefraud.com details how The story of Rabbi Jesus and Judas Khrest became the New Testament. The book is by a man who actually studied Old copies of the Bible. In the original languagem of Aramaic. The English language King James version (written By Francis Bacon) is actually five languages removed from the original language of the Bible. So before you start thumping your Bible in my face and telling me I'm doomed as a non-believer, read this book and then tell me how I'm going to Hell.
