  • Ignoring evil in America

    by David R. Hoffman, Legal Editor of Pravda.Ru
    Whenever I see images of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Alberto Gonzales, Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Katherine Harris and other minions of, or apologists for, the corrupt, inept, mendacious and venal Bush dictatorship, I am immediately reminded of this line from John Carpenter’s classic horror movie Halloween: “What is living behind [their] eyes is purely and simply evil.”
    Yet in America there is a great (…)

    As illustrated in this graphic by Chris Jeffries, the Dems have surrendered. They’ve surrendered to Bush and Cheney and abandoned our troops to remaining in Iraq to kill, die, and suffer for - let’s be exact here - eternity. The votes this week are only happening because the Democratic leadership has chosen to make them happen. If members of the Democratic leadership vote No, that is only because they are hypocrits. They are only voting No because they know there are (…)

  • Man is the Most Amazing Jack ass
    24 May 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: They have their entrances and their exits:” Old Will Shakespeare knew his stuff, why that line alone is worth the price of admission. Now if you couple that with the famous Mark Twain quote, “Man is the most amazing Jack ass” you have a workable foundation for a philosophy of life and an insight into the mechanics of the world.
    But it is too succinct to be a religion and far to humble to be a philosophy, now if Will and (…)

  • Blair’s Kaleidoscope Dystopia
    20 May 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    Significantly, one of the last things that Tony Blair does before finally quitting (don’t believe it until it happens) is to go off to greet the British military occupation on a rah-rah tour in Iraq. A mortar attack was made on the British Embassy but unfortunately missed hitting Blair who went on to give a heart-rending speech on what a great job ’Our Boys’ were doing defending good ol’ Freedom ’n’ Democracy and making the Matrix World a safer place to live, blah, blah, blah.
    Meantime, (…)

    "Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream?"....Edgar Allen Poe
    Some soldiers are luckier than others, that’s for damned sure. Many have been ordered back to the Zone for up to 4 additional tours in Hell. They comply,and in general they don’t complain; but they do wonder if this crazy military adventure/holy war is important enough to die for. Some who do just that never resolved the question.
    Thousands come home on stretchers, and hundreds more in boxes. Few are seen but all (…)

  • The ’rules’ of American capitalism

    by David R. Hoffman
    I am the voice of the voiceless. I am the exploited, powerless against the machinations of the exploiter. I am the honest, so my truth will be used against me. I am the victim of capitalism in America.
    Capitalism in America is covertly governed by three unwritten rules. The first two rules work in tandem: 1). Treat others the way you would NOT want to be treated; 2). Always measure the value of human beings by your self-interest, not theirs.
    In 1991, the company (…)
