British Petroleum and the Little Eichmann's

Men like British Petroleum's Chief Executive are prepared to ruthlessly exploit the natural world, and the members of our world's society, blind to the fury of our world's, and even their own self- destruction: They carry on their ridiculous propaganda, claiming that "The Gulf of Mexico is a very ocean", with glib comments that: "The amount of oil and dispersant we are putting in is tiny in relation to the total water volume" until there can be no recovery of the environment in the affected area. My parents and I left Germany to immigrate to Canada, and later, the United States, because we felt, wrongly, that a man like Eichman, who sold out his soul to the NAZI criminals who had captured Germany, would not be tolerated in "the land of the free, and the home of the brave", and I risked my life in an ugly war in Vietnam, because I really, really believed that propaganda. Now we are stuck here, in the United States, after my exposure to "Agent Orange" pollution of my combat area near Trung Lap, in the heart of the Vietnamese "Iron Triangle". As Chris Hedges, who was not afraid to serve as a war correspondent in many of our nation's wars, put it: "The little Eichmann's who manage our corporations serve the forces of death, the dark instinct Sigmund Freud identified within human beings that make us annihilate all living things, including ourselves, in their cold and rational exchange of life for money!"

Credentials: I don't need none for the Supreme Court!!

A Barnyard Smell in Chicago, Harvard and Wahington, by James Petras: According to James Petras, President Obama has nominated Elena Kagan for Justice of the United States Supreme Court on the basis of an Academic Publication Record, which might give her a fighting chance for tenure at a first rate correspondence law school in the Texas Panhandle. A review of her published scholarship after almost two decades in and out of academia turns up four law review articles, two brief pieces and several book reviews. There is nothing even remotely resembling a major legal text or research publication. Her lackluster academic publication record is only surpassed by her lack of any practical experience as a judge: Zero years in adjudication, unless one accepts the line of her exuberant advocates, who point to Kagan's superb ability in adjudicating among the squabbling faculty at Harvard Law School when she served as Dean. No doubt Kagan has been very busy as the greatest fund-raising Law School in Harvard's history ($400 million), which may account for the fact that she never found time to write a single academic article during her nine year tenure (2001-2009).

Israel SCARED??

On the 13th of this month, the New York Times carried a warning to Russia by the United States and Israel, over a plan to sell surface to air missiles to Iran, saying Moscow needed no advice from Washington on its weapons sales. Obama, the little wiesel, whose election campaign, in retrospect, was full of lies and half-truths, said that "it" had warned Russia that delivering the S-300 anti-aircraft system to Iran would have "serious consequences" for relations with Washington. I can just imagine Mr. Putin, who is a martial arts expert, laughing his head off while reading this ridiculous threat. Washington and Israel are the ones who are afraid: The S-300, which can shoot down several aircraft or missiles simultaneously, could allow Tehran to fend off a possible air strike by Israel (like the one Israel used to kill the US crew of our ship called "Liberty" many years ago). Unfortunately for Israel, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Moscow needed "no advice from across the ocean " about the sale of the S-300. Speaking to reporters in Ankara during a visit by President Dmitri Medvedev, Lavrov added that Russia would not not allow the destabilization of those regions where it delivered arms.

The American "Art" of War

The incredibly sloppy "oil recovery" effort of the "Energy Giant" BP -(short for British Petroleum), though by now, most British Citizens have now rightfully become ashamed of that company's association with their great nation. In fact, the huge corporations use their nations only to exert pressure against the smaller nations of this world, and will blatantly bribe members of their nation's government, in order to use their military clout to beat those smaller nations who still believe in protecting their god-given environment. But I digress: War is now the American Way of Life, according to an excellent book, by Carl Boggs, with the title "The Crimes of Empire". Other books in that Genre are: "Losing Control: Global Security in the 21st century, by Paul Rogers, London: Pluto Press, 2010." What all of these books appear to have in common are abject apologies for raping the smaller, and therefore much less powerful nations of our planet for the natural resources, which the much more powerful nations desperately want, and lust for.

The Trial of President Obama: Part 1

This is Part 1 of Alex Pareene's report on the ATLAH World Ministries trial of Barack Obama: Reverent Manning, who initiated the trial believes that the American people will recognize the legitimacy of the verdict, demanding that punishment be enacted: The first charge is treason and sedition. Specifically, Rev. Manning contends that Columbia University "sold" a diploma to Barack Obama, though he had never even set foot on their ground, since he was with the CIA at the time. In the diverse crowd at the trial, white folk from the South mingled cheerfully with black women dressed for church. Several young Ron Paul supporters chatted with a 50-something potential juror from Long Island, while Anthony Tolda, a Constitution Party candidate for Congress, distributed a copy of the Constitution and his campaign "spiel". Others - Jean and her husband Don, had traveled all the way from Hawaii. The sign outside the ATLAH World Missionary Church is a word soup of charges against Obama, in part reading: "A Taliban Muslim Illegally Elected President of the United States". According to neighbors of the church, it's been up for two years, with occasional changes.
