George Orwell: "We Must have Continuous war for Continuous peace."

Yes, fellow parshioners in our giant Animal House, it's absolutely true!! "We" must always have TOTAL WAR for TOTAL PEACE, and by that, I mean the peace of your grave! To justify the fight, we have rounded up the usual suspects: "Terror, Oil, Minerals, Poppies, and of course: "DEMOCRACY", for that is touted by our immoral presidents as our most important product. Soon, you too will begin to realize - that's why we send you to school, and why we continue to fund your underpaid teachers, that "vi" are "rite", as Hitler's SS used to say, and votever else you may "'belief'" is just rong, rong, rong. Thus spoke Adolf, our vonderful Tshermann lieter, and THUS speaks Obama. War keeps the public frightened and dependent, and it is also useful to keep the wheels of industry turning, without increasing the real wealth of our wonderful world. Goods must be produced, but they must not be distributed, because in a war, or a ritual slaughter like Afghanistan, they will all ultimately be destroyed. A truly prosperous society, educated and secure, can NOT be ruled by the few. Poverty, ignorance and fear are the three pillars of authoritarian control. Without war, they all disappear. Thus Afghanistan, after the "Cold War", Korea, Vietnam, and central America - sere vill bi mor - I promiss yu - Heil Hitler!!

Afghanistan: Talking to the Taliban About Life After their Occupation

In the southeastern Afghan city of Khost, the Taliban administration carries on their business across the street from the fortified, government-run city court and police station. The head of the Haqqani network's civilian administration and hi assistant hold their council in the grand mosque, also known as the Haqqani mosque, since it was built with Taliban and Arab money: A frail- looking 60-year old and his younger sidekick seem to be merely merely haggard peasants rather than members of one of the organizations most feared by Britain and America. Worshipers at the mosque greet the Haqqani representatives with a mix of reverence and anxiety, some walking in a long circle to avoid them, while others come forward and shake hands, often pledging contribution for their movement. "The resistance is stronger and bolder today", muttered an old man. "A few years ago the Taliban could move only at night". "Thanks to God, our land has been liberated, and we are able to openly fighting to protect our people, controlling our land, while the Americans can only destroy us by air." "Yes, the Taliban has made mistakes in the past, and our men still do things that annoy our people, but my job is to convey their complaints."

When considering a political Candidate, Character Counts!

Though Bill Clinton was morally bankrupt, we chose him as our president: Bill Clinton was a moral reprobate, because of his consistent lying and cheating! Unfortunately, too many Republicans were also willing to support liars, cheats, and morally bankrupt candidates just because of the "Republican brand" next to their names. Though Carl Paladino, a Republican, has the credentials and experience to qualify being elected governor of that state, he also has the morals of a dog in heat, sending out emails full of hard core porn, published on the Internet in living color. He is also an adulterer, who fathered a child outside his marriage.

Chris Hedges: Power and Tiny Acts of Rebellion

Chris, who is certainly one of the finest journalist who still believes in this country, is deluded when he laments that our "president" gave in to evil forces around him. In fact, my wife and I saw his glaring personality flaws when he ran for office, and Obama sold out to the movers and shakers in this country before he ever decided to run for his "titular" presidency. Both my wife and I realized that he was just another George W., who despises the people of this nation, and now spends most of his time in a vain attempt to hawk his ghost-written memoirs. Surprisingly, based on what we see on television, W., the man who gave our country an extremely bad name by advocating torture as a quick and easy way to ingratiate himself to the idiots of our world, is now Obama's role model. Though Obama will, as Chris Hedges predicts, spend the next two years "being even more obsequious to those in corporate power" that was clearly his intention from the very start - let's say: "His raison de etre!!" (His very reason for being, for those who don't have a French Dictionary handy). I pity the fools who rushed to support Obama in his rape of the poor nation of Afghanistan. Those who have watched that fiasco on nightly television can, I hope, commiserate with the poor inhabitants of that nation for the follies of the 'leaders' of our United States. In a group, they are leaders who have besmirched the good will of our great country!

Frosty Wooldridge: The Titanic and the United States

Just like the Titanic which sank on April 15, 1912, our United States stands at a critical point in the history of our nation: In 1965, Lyndon B. Johnson and Senator Teddy Kennedy drove America into an iceberg of massive, unrestricted immigration, that opened the floodgates with the "Immigration Reform Act". The massive flow of humanity from that lethal hit is still pouring into our country 38 years later, much like the party-goers on the Titanic, that kept enjoying themselves for hours after the doomed ship struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic. Like the Titanic, the constant flow of incoming humanity, 70 million immigrants pouring in at 2.3 million annually, both legal and illegal, raised our population from from 200 million to nearly 300 million in three decades, leading to overpopulation and a serious crisis. Our English language is now under assault, and our schools are drowning in ethnic violence, rapes, illicit drugs and gang warfare. In California, Texas, Florida, and Arizona, our hospitals have become bankrupt from unpaid services for 350,000 annual 'anchor babies'. Ten million illegal immigrants displace jobs from America's working poor, and depress wages for many others. Leprosy, tuberculosis, Chagas Disease, hepatitis and other diseases our into our country inside the bodies of illegal immigrants.

War Crimes Committed Against US Military Personnel, June 8, 1967

If you believe that I detest the violent state of Israel, you are absolutely right. When Israel murdered our sailors on the USSLiberty, I was the Intelligence Operations Officer of our 4th US Armored Division in Goeppingen, Germany, and I was the one who took the wire copy of Israel's murderous deed from the transmission of our desperate sailors, who were then barely clinging to the debris of the Liberty, in the hope of surviving Israel's treachery against our sovereign nation. The report of war crimes committed against US military personnel was submitted to the Honorable Secretary of the Army, in his capacity as Executive Agent for the Secretary of Defense, pursuant to Department of Defense Directive Number 5810.01B, 29 March 2004. This report was filed by the USS Liberty Veterans Association, Inc. a California non-profit corporation, recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a Section 501(c)(3) tax exempt veterans organization, acting on behalf of the surviving crew members of USS Liberty. On June 8, 1967 while patrolling in international waters in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, USS Liberty (AGTR-5) was savagely attacked without warning or justification by air and naval forces of the state of ISRAEL. Of a crew of 294 officers and men, (including three civilians) the ship suffered thirty four (34) killed in action and one hundred seventy three (173) wounded in action. The ship itself, a Forty Million ($40,000,000) Dollar state of the art signals intelligence (SIGINT) platform, was so badly damaged that it never sailed on an operational mission again, and was sold in 1970 for $101,666.66 as scrap. Israel acknowledged the following facts without qualification: a. USS Liberty was an American ship, hence a neutral vis-a-vis the June 1967 war between Israel and its Arab neighbors. USS Liberty remained in international waters at all times on June 8, 1967. The attacking Israeli forces did NOT make a positive identification of the nationality of USS Liberty before unleashing deadly force in their attack on the ship. AND THAT NATION NOW CLAIMS TO BE A "FRIEND" OF OUR UNITED STATES!! As our division's commander told me when I rushed the tragic news of Israel's murderous attack to him: "With Friends like the Israelis, we have NO need of enemies!!!!"
