    9 March 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    "Sacred cows make the best hamburger." - Mark Twain
    The 11th Commandment states: “Thou Shalt Not Criticize the Zionists!” Most Americans of my generation know it by heart. It’s the first thing a politician learns if he or she wants to get elected, and reelected, to public office, especially to the U.S. Congress. It’s a powerful prohibition even though many refuse to acknowledge its existence. Mostly, it’s a taboo subject. Moses didn’t bring it down from Mount Sinai with him, nor does the (…)

    The date was February 22, 1943. Hans Scholl and his sister Sophie, along with their best friend, Christoph Probst, were scheduled to be executed by Nazi officials that afternoon.

    It is a sad fact of life in the media world that the major Networks, mainstream and cable,must of necessity have stringers,or what is currently labelled "embeds"...reporters whose job it is to spout the Administration’s drivel of the day.
    At CNN (the only network I dare watch), Barbara Starr and Jamie McIntire (military) and Dana Bash (White House) are called upon by news anchors on a regular basis to shore up the Administration’s position,thus perpetuating the BIG LIE. It is done smoothly (…)

    The US, UK, Israeli and Mainstream Media continually rail hysterically against "terror" to the extent that people generally FAIL TO REALIZE that "terror" actually ENABLES illegal US, UK, Israeli and Coalition occupation of Muslim lands in the Middle East and Central Asia and its horrendous human consequences.

    The first neoconservative , President Abraham Lincoln , placed millions in the meat grinder to save the union. Is it now time to separate this federal union in order save the lives of millions , both here and abroad ? This divorce decree would be an amicable parting of the ways between neocon imperialists and their kindred spirits - so called "Christian" Zionists - and those paleoconservatives , libertarians , and progressives who seek to end needless military interventions (…)
