  • The Creeping Hand of Socialism
    17 February 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    By David Glenn Cox http://theservantsofpilate.com
    When we have all been thoroughly indoctrinated in truth, justice and the American way, the very word socialism evokes flickering black and white images of Winston Smith. His empty, loveless life controlled by the stern-faced Big Brother. Or we hear the clicking sounds of jackbooted policemen, and even worse, of the secret policemen.
    Who told you these things? Who put these images before your eyes? Why, the very people who benefit from (…)

The exact sum missing may never be clear, but a report by the US Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) suggests it may (…)

    Moderator’s note: I’m an absolutist when it comes to the First Amendment prohibition of religion mixing with civil law. However, if the Oklahoma Legislature is going to have a chaplin, he or she can’t be censored. It’s either all or none. (OKLAHOMA CITY) Wednesday, February 11, 2009 was an important day in the life of Rev.

    14 February 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    They’re all over the place. Think tank bloviations on “possible terror attacks in the US.” An attack is imminent, one cries. Be prepared, warns another.
    While we are shaking in our boots over yet to happen attacks from foreigners, the current incarnation of weapons of financial destruction is doing real damage right now. Factories are downsizing or shutting down. Chain stores are seeking bankruptcy protection or going the way of the dinosaur. State governments are furloughing employees, (…)

    «The terrorist war against Cuba, which was most extreme under Kennedy, was uncontroversially in violation of international law.»
    Interview of Noam Chomsky
    Liberté 62 : «In your book What We Say Goes you declare that «the USA are the outlaw land par excellence, free from the International Law». The US blocus of Cuba - about 50 years , blocus denouced by many ONU’s résolutions - that you qualified of «strangling strategy of Cuba», seems to illustrate this fact in a exemplary way.

    Let the sky fall, let the sun crash and commence with the days of iron rain. Let the blood of the guilty and the tears of the innocent mix and intermingle in the sewers of greed. There is no bipartisanship in Washington; there is only buy partisanship. The President, still in his first month in office, has had dinner with Republican pundits. He has gone to Capitol Hill to meet with both House and Senate Republicans.
    He has supported a (…)
