When in doubt, Ignore Reality…

and the warning signs that the president is delusional.  That "unnamed Bush aide" who said we create our own reality certainly was a prophet.  Sounds like this "unnamed" individual could have been Bush himself.  Here we are, 3 years later, and Bush is still trying to reshape events to his liking.  Seems like the decider is having a little trouble with creating reality so he has taken to simply ignoring it.   "The American public agrees with me on Iraq" says the commander guy.  Talk about...

Masters of War

Come you masters of war You that build all the big guns You that build the death planes You that build all the bombs You that hide behind walls You that hide behind desks I just want you to know I can see through your masks You that never done nothin’ But build to destroy You play with my world Like it’s your little toy You put a gun in my hand And you hide from my eyes And you turn and run farther When the fast bullets fly Like a Judas of old You lie and deceive A world war can be won You...

Rudy Giuliani – the face of American Fascism?

An increasing amount of people in the USA are calling Guiliani a Fascist. Often, they refer to his own infamous words: ‘We look upon authority too often and focus over and over again, for 30 or 40 or 50 years, as if there is something wrong with authority. We see only the oppressive side of authority. Maybe it comes out of our history and our background. What we don’t see is that freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about...

Pentagon plans against Iran according to Scott Ritter (and the Saker)

I know, bragging is not good, but I simply cannot miss the opportunity, in particular that it turns out that I "beat" Scott Ritter by 32 week in predicting how the Pentagon plans the war on Iran. Listen to the interview that Charles Goyette made with Scott Ritter for Antiwar Radio and compare Scott's analysis with the one I published on the Debianhelp political forum (another version of the same post can be found elsewhere in the vineyard): Scott and I both deny the myth that the Empire can be...

‘Conspiracy theories abound in America’s politics.’

Time for a review of the Bush family and their connections to a variety of shady dealings.  For starters go here and go here...  Seems like these people just keep getting away with grand theft and murder.  Just ask a few hundred thousand former residents of Iraq and Afghanistan and about 3500 members of the US military who no longer walk this earth.  Not to mention the countless numbers who have been wounded and permanently disabled under the watch of "the decider".  Of course we cannot bring...

Major General John Batiste’s thoughts on the national service

Major General John Batiste was offered a promotion to become a three-star general, the second-highest-ranking military officer in Iraq. Instead, he quit over the war. After he appeared in a commercial for VoteVets.org, CBS News fired him as a paid news consultant. MoveOn.org collected 230,000 signatures on a petition demanding he be rehired. He was interviewed by Amy Goodman on DemocracyNow on May 25th, 2007. Among other things, they spoke of the need of reinstituting the draft: AMY GOODMAN:...
