  • Obama as World’s #1 terrorist, #1 war criminal, #1 child killer, #1 Drug Pusher & #1 Drug Lord
    28 September 2009 par (Open-Publishing)
    1 comment

    The US under Emperor Obama is still conducting a War on Terror that in horrible reality is a War on Arab, Muslim, Asian, and non-European Women and Children who represent a substantial proportion of the 9-11 million excess deaths in the Bush (now Obama) wars, 1990-2009 (see: "9-11 excuse for US global genocide. The real 9-11 atrocity - millions [9-11 million] dead in Bush wars [1990-2009]": ).
    However it is also clear that the Bush (now Obama) War on Terror is also a US War for Drugs - a (…)

  • The Last Republican
    21 September 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    By David Glenn Cox
    As a survivor of the Republican revolution, which began when Ronald Reagan took office, I have seen the world turned upside down like a sort of Mad Hatter’s tea party. You see, the Republicans were going to get the boot heel of the federal government off your back.
    They began by privatizing the student loan program. No more would students apply by mail and receive checks from some faceless bureaucrat at the Treasury Department at the prime interest rate. Now with your (…)

  • Pulp Fiction: We are living in a novel
    21 September 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    Shakespeare said all the world’s a stage, and we are but players — bit players, he might have added, although he preferred to write about the high and mighty. I don’t know about the high and mighty, but to tweak the old bard a bit, I would say it is more like a novel we are living in, and a bad one at that. The Warren Report, the 9/11 Commission Report, the "news" as it is fed to us 24/7 by the mass media, what is it all but pulp fiction, a never-ending penny dreadful hacked together by (…)

  • Video: Activists Disrupt Karl Rove’s Speech at Goucher College

    On the evening of Sept. 16, 2009, a protest action was staged at Goucher College in Towson, MD, just north of Baltimore City, with respect to the appearance of Karl Rove on campus, as a guest speaker. Rove, aka “Dubya’s Brain,” was a senior advisor, (2001-07), to then President, George W. Bush. He is suspected of participating in a White House-based cabal, (WHIG), which helped to launch the immoral and illegal Iraq War. Just as Rove was being introduced, at least three activists stood up in (…)

  • No We Can’t

    Or is it, No, We Won’t? Or, No Way, No How? Or, perhaps, No, we shouldn’t expect to limit our ideals to shallow campaign sloganeering?
    Poor President Obama, who’s gifted with a rare talent for silky, resonant rhetoric, made a promise he’ll never keep — Yes We Can. Sure, it sounded great, particularly as an antidote to the Neocon nightmare W had supported. But, really, how was it ever going to be possible? A New World? A New Politics? A New Way of Thinking? No way. Not even close.
    Now (…)

  • Meet the new boss: “The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.”
    13 September 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    The word from The White House’s Briefing Room is that Obama is going to continue the national emergency declared on September 14, 2001 by the Bush administration.
    The full briefing is available below, but before reading it, it might be worth while reading the following quote from George Orwell’s 1984, it should help put things into perspective.
    “The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth (…)

  • AS THE WORLD TURNS: AMERICA LEFT BEHIND

    JAZZMAN CHRONICLES. DISSEMINATE FREELY.
    As the world turns away from the American century, leaving behind the antiquated and self-defeating war on drugs, a war that the late William Burroughs rightly derided as an excuse to create an international police apparatus, leaving behind the global economic scheme that impoverishes nations while enriching corporations, leaving behind the Cold War, the imperialist wars and the wars on terror, America is stuck in reverse, desperately clinging to (…)

  • David Swanson’s “Daybreak” is a Wake-Up Call for Patriots
    4 September 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    “We have in our power to begin the world over again.” - Tom Paine, author of “Common Sense.”
    For me, the essence of author/activist David Swanson’s insightful tome: “Daybreak: Undoing the Imperial Presidency and Forming a More Perfect Union,” is this: On June 16, 2005, I was at the U.S. Capitol, in Washington, D.C., to cover a hearing on the infamous “Downing Street Memos.” This document, crafted by the Brits, revealed that the Bush-Cheney Gang, colluded with Dubya’s poodle, Tony Blair, (…)

    A Need for Some Soul-Searching
    By Jacob Hornberger Published 09/03/09
    Close your eyes, let your mind roam, and imagine the following: You are living in a country where the government has the power to round up whomever it wants, incarcerate them for as long it is wants, deny them due process and a trial, and torture them. The government is attacking and occupying other countries. It is confiscating everyone’s income and wealth and doling it out to others. The government is jailing people (…)

    Dear President Obama September 1st 2009 The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. Washington DC 20500
    Eleven years have passed since five Cuban men have been imprisoned in the United States. Their only crime was to be devoted to the protection of their country subjected to terrorist attacks from the United States. Since the beginning, all the American governments have managed to get rid of the Cuban Revolution once of all. What gives a country, (…)
