“A lie would make no sense, unless the truth were felt to be dangerous.” - Carl G. Jung
Philip Shenon’s insightful “The Commission: The Uncensored History of the 9/11 Investigation,” is a book that I found hard to put down. An investigative reporter for the NY Times, he gives a detailed history of the so-called “official” inquiry, authorized by the U.S. Congress, into the tragedy of September 11, 2001. One of the central characters in this compelling saga is a master manipulator, Philip (…)

Imagine a world, anyone can do it, but the world I want to imagine is one where everyone has the same job, to help one another, we could start today, just have congress make the law and shazam America reinvents itself again, hey we killed the dollar, done that bin there, something got to change, because us government policy has reduced many of us to just that, counting change, hoping for hope, or whatever the political buzz word of the day might be.

For all those who have been warning us about the Integration of Canada, United States and Mexico with the emergence of the North American Union, this latest agreement between Canada and the United States confirms what everyone feared.
The Canadian government has yet again signed an agreement in secret with the United States in an attempt to dismantle Canada. This latest agreement allows the US military to occupy Canada in case of an ‘emergency’, and vice versa.

By Andres R. Martinez
Feb. 24 (Bloomberg) — Former Mexican presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador asked supporters to shut airports, oil facilities and highways next month when President Felipe Calderon introduces a plan to open the state oil industry to investment.

There’s a man in Florida who has been writing to me for years (ten pages, handwritten) though I’ve never met him. He tells me the kinds of jobs he has held-security guard, repairman, etc. He has worked all kinds of shifts, night and day, to barely keep his family going. His letters to me have always been angry, railing against our capitalist system for its failure to assure "life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness" for working people.
Just today, a letter (…)

A video of French President Nicolas Sarkozy telling a bystander to "get lost" has become a hit on the Internet.
Sarkozy was filmed by a journalist from the daily Le Parisien on a walkabout at the annual farm fair in Paris on Saturday.
Sarkozy offered his hand to a man who said: "Don’t touch me, you are soiling me." In reply, Sarkozy said, without dropping his smile: "Get lost, dumb ass."
The video was posted on Le Parisien’s website www.leparisien.fr.on and by (…)

The Gray Side of the Mirror By David Glenn Cox
The truth lives in the gray side of the mirror, rather than reflect the truth it absorbs it. Rather than accept the truth it absolves it, rather than championing truth it only bears it. The gray side of the mirror is the unpresented side, the side kept in the dark just as we are kept in the dark, shoved between frame and wall, between dark and light. Unasked, unnoticed, unrequited.
Like the Shroud of Turin, its facets and details are only (…)

Broadcast live on CSPAN, President Barack Obama’s administration’s discussions with insurance companies and drug companies are sure to shine light on some of the corruption and glad handing going on behind closed door between some members of Congress and those industries responsible for bringing high cost for health care services to the American people...

Watching the Dinosaurs Fall By David Glenn Cox
The motivation for this comes from an article written by Martin Wolf of the Financial Times and he told the truth, mainly. I won’t dispute a single fact or figure but in his article, “America’s economy risks mother of all meltdowns” he comes to us as a prognosticator, predicting the future of the things that will be.
He wants to be the ghost of Christmas future when in fact he is the ghost of Christmas present. Come then, touch the hem of my (…)
