  • Paul Wolfowitz’s Heart of Darkness
    11 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    “He had taken a high seat amongst the devils of the land.” - Joseph Conrad
    American policy maker Paul Wolfowitz reminds me a lot of Joseph Conrad’s character, Kurtz, from his seminal tome, “Heart of Darkness.” Kurtz never allowed himself to be judged by the same standards as other mere mortals, nor has Wolfowitz. He seems manufactured in the image and likeness of another purveyor of malevolence - Henry Kissinger! Wolfowitz has so far escaped earthly punishment for his serial wrong doings. (…)

  • Oily Corrupt Cabal
    11 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    The Bush Cabal’s oily plan is in full effect, when Jr. and his corrupt cabal stole power in 2000 — in the US gasoline was $1.21 per gallon, today it’s at $2.65 per gallon and rising. Look for sweet light crude to sell at $80.00 per barrel and gasoline at $3.50 per gallon come June.
    With the help of the events on 9/11 — Dickie’s secret energy plan has fallen right in place:
    Former Unocal employee, Hamid Karzai, became the President of Afghanistan and one of his first accomplishments was (…)

  • The Buck Stops Here?..Bush’s twisted answer
    10 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    This morning (Mon) Bush spoke to Johns Hopkins International Studies Group students and took questions, many of which were embarrassing.
    One question dealt with Bush’s low poll numbers. Bush responded "I respect dissenters but know I must and will do what I believe is right. Democracy is a wonderful thing; people have a right to voice their opinions and that’s a good thing..." blah blah, yada yada yada.
    With this twisted logic, one can only assume that the U.S.Congress, with a current (…)

    It’s a crime. No kidding. But the media has it all wrong. As usual.
    ’Scooter’ Libby finally outed ’Mr. Big,’ the perpetrator of the heinous disclosure of the name of secret agent Valerie Plame. It was the President of United States himself — in conspiracy with his Vice-President. Now the pundits are arguing over whether our war-a-holic (…)

    REQUIREMENT FOR A JUST WAR
    (If Dick Cheney was a Christian Explorer and kept a diary of his exploits.)
    By Peter Fredson
    April 10, 2006
    It was a pleasant day when I sailed my small sloop out of port. I had taken on full provisions of food and drink, had my CD of THE BEST SERMONS OF PAT ROBERTSON in my player and set full sail for the eastern horizon.
    Suddenly a vast wind sprang up which tossed my small sloop like a cork in a bathtub. I was blown off course, my compass stopped (…)

    9 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Published on Friday, April 7, 2006 by Ted Rall The Danger of Hugo Chávez’s Successful Socialism by Ted Rall When the hated despots of nations like Saudi Arabia and Kazakhstan loot their countries’ treasuries, transfer their oil wealth to personal Swiss bank accounts and use the rest to finance (in the House of Saud’s case) terrorist extremists, American politicians praise them as trusted friends and allies. But when a democratically elected populist president uses Venezuela’s oil (…)
