The War Prayer: by Mark Twain

"It was indeed a glad and gracious time, and the half dozen rash spirits that ventured to disapprove of the war and cast a doubt upon its righteousness straightway got such a stern and angry warning that for their personal safety's sake they quickly shrank out of sight and offended no more in that way."

A Nobel Economist Says Globalism Is Costly For Americans

"All of economics is predicated on the notion that resources are inexhaustible, and that the only challenge is to use them most efficiently. But if resources are not inexhaustible and cannot be replicated by human capital, the world economy is being ruthlessly exploited to its detriment and to the detriment of life on earth.

Thanks to Bush/Cheney/Obama and the wars for military/security profits, we might not last long enough to test Daly’s hypothesis. As American hegemony confronts both China and Russia, hubris can rid the planet of humans before nature does. "

One Week in the Life of a Police State

"What these incidents reveal is that the governmental bureaucracy has stopped viewing us, the American people, as human beings who should be treated with worth and dignity. That was the purpose of the Bill of Rights. The Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures of our persons and effects was designed so that government agents would be forced to treat us with due respect. With this protection now gone, those who attempt to exercise their rights will often be forced to defend themselves against an increasingly inflexible and uncompromising government."

Happy Memorial Day: Americans - Return to your Roots

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/07/Us_declaration_independence.jpg

Happy Memorial Day.


It is a good day to reflect upon what exactly it is that we Americans stand for.  After all - today is the day set aside for us to take pause and remember that many paid the ultimate sacrifice to preserve the American way.


But what is the "American way?"   Since our corporate-OWNED media pollutes our airwaves with an intentionally  confusing kaleidoscope of phantasmagoric fear-based-flag-wrapped fantasy - most Americans find themselves unable to come to grips with reality.  The saying "garbage in garbage out" not only applies to computers - it applies to the human psyche.  It is no secret that the "powers that be" use every trick in the the marketing book to steer the American herd in a direction they desire.  Take a look at the hours you are working - the price of food - the price of fuel - your own economic situation - do you really think for a minute these efforts have ever been directed toward improving the plight of the common man?  


As if the attack upon the economic "American Way" hasn't been nefarious enough - consider the attack upon the more important aspect of the "American Way" - our personal LIBERTIES.  Presently I can express my ideas via this blog - but I am convinced that if our federal government continues its present course unabated - this blog will, along with many others, be eliminated as yet another "enemy of the government."


Let's get back to defining the "American Way."  Never forget that this nation was founded by people who used force of arms to assert their independence.  I am not advocating violence - I am merely stating a fact.  That's why we have a second amendment.  And since we have been facing attacks on the first Amendment - the Federal government is following a path that can only end in violent overthrow of the government.  As John F. Kennedy said:  "Those who make peaceful change impossible make violent revolution inevitable."  I agree 100%.  So let's get back to our roots as we attempt to define the "American Way."


Considering the Declaration of Independence, shown above, :

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. "  read more HERE


Is our federal government "serving" the people?  Is our federal government protecting our rights?  Does our federal government even take the needs of the American people into consideration as they embark upon foreign wars without consulting Congress?  Why don't we declare war?  Why are Americans subject to illegal search and seizure at airports by TSA thugs? Why doesn't privacy matter for the common man but privacy matters to those in power - like Obama - who's kept records secret?


Why must we tolerate a Federal Reserve that is mismanaging our money supply?  Why are treaties being signed to merge the USA, Canada, and Mexico without public approval?  Why are our borders left unsecured during a period of fear-mongering where the very government that tells us to report every suspicious twitch of our fellow citizens' faces - leave the border unprotected if they are so worried about "terrorists" crossing into our nation?


My conclusion is that we are not living in a Republic or Democracy:  We are living in an Oligarchical dictatorship.  I base this conclusion on my own ability to reason.  I do NOT base it upon garbage fed to me by the boob-tube.  This dictatorship is run by the super-rich, corporations, and special interest groups like AIPAC who use their "power of the purse" to control our Congress - a Congress that is supposed to exercise THEIR "power of the purse" to constrain their co-equal branches of government.  Can you say "conflict of interest?"  If you think I'm kidding - how much did you and a hundred citizens you know contribute to your elected "representatives" lately?  Well AIPAC  and others contributed LOTS - so take a guess who gets their way with Congress?  Add to that - the problem of UNELECTED leeches attached to OUR government - who use the fear and panic they spread to the media to feather their nests while the rest of us lose our property to the bankers.

America is facing a war alright.  A war on our culture of individualism by collectivists.  A war on our food supply by megalomaniacs intent on feeding us garbage that makes us fat and causes disease.  Americans face psychopaths who've wormed their way into our military with world conquest in mind - not the Bill of Rights.  Americans are at war with a cabal of international bankers who charge insane usurous interest rates to the public - then forgive debts to corrupt dictators willing to toe the line.


Americans are at war with their own government - that's why they search your baby at the airport - grope your wife - shower your entire family with radiation - yet let the corrupt on-the-take Senators and Congressmen owned by AIPAC walk through the back gate.


Rich Americans who can afford to fly private planes - or charter private jets are not subject to the search and seizure as are you and me.  Why?  


If America is so broke - why are we embarking on more wars all over the planet - continuing wars based on torture based on lies - regardless of the political "party" occupying the White House.  


Why is it illegal to milk a cow and drink the milk?**  Why do the Feds have time to go after farmers but our troops are guarding poppy fields in Afghanistan?


What are your mothers, brother, sisters, husbands......all of them......WHAT ARE THEY FIGHTING FOR?  


Today is a great day to ask oneself that question - revisit your roots - use your own ability to reason - the very faculty that makes HOMO SAPIENS (THINKING MAN)  truly special.  


Serving one's country means more than carrying a rifle.  It also means carrying the burdon of self-examination, humility - and finally decision.  


Happy Memorial Day!

Utah Law Makes Coins Worth Their Weight in Gold (or Silver)

"“This is an incremental step in the right direction,” said Lowell Nelson, the interim coordinator for the Campaign for Liberty in Utah, a libertarian group rooted in Ron Paul’s presidential campaign. “If the federal government isn’t going to do it, then we here in Utah ought to be able to establish a monetary system that would survive a crash if and when that happens.”"

Note:  Remember that very few of these folks were interested in the money supply at all - until the pain of our spendthrift federal government and the secrecy of internationalist nature of the Federal Reserve came to light.

We are not witnessing "crazy people" - we are watching citizens peacefully taking positive action to reign in the unchecked power of an out-of-control federal government.  A government intent on merging America into a collectivist one-world-government that has no respect for the Bill of Rights that generations of Americans fought for.

Free Speech Violation: Park Ranger Orders Visitor to Leave National Military Park, Citing Objection to Ron Paul Decals on Car

"BLACKSBURG, S.C. — The Rutherford Institute has come to the defense of a 73-year-old Virginia resident who was allegedly ordered by a park ranger to remove his car from a national military park in South Carolina because of political messages attached to his vehicle. Jack Faw, whose ancestors fought in the historic battle memorialized at Kings Mountain National Military Park, contacted The Rutherford Institute after being told by a park ranger that the decal promoting a political organization associated with Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), which was displayed on the back window of Faw's car, was not allowed in the park. "

Drugging unwitting populations without their consent deserves the death penalty.  Where is the diagnosis?  Where is the individual taken into consideration?  Only a psychopath shills for this nonsense.


This seems like yet another mass-drugging of the masses - to keep them confused and docile - while crooked international  bankers steal their hard-earned property - while the US government delivers big on hope and change - but zero on helping out the average Joe.


Lithium in the water?  What's next?

Why must one turn to Al Jazeera to hear a fair interview of veteran/patriot Jesse Ventura?

The reason is that the 'watchdog of government' - the corporate-bought-and-paid-for US media - are nothing but a bunch of lying scoundrels who collect paychecks to parrot propaganda emanating from the Pentagon.


More lies bring more wars which bring more money to the merchants of death.


Listen to this patriot-statesman.  What is not to like?


Our next presidential "election" is a pivot point - a fulcrum upon which America will become the shining city on the hill with liberty and justice for all - or Amerika - where everyone is guilty until proven innocent under a fascist Napoleonic-style police-state.


America as we knew it is is peril - and the time has passed for passivity.  The clock has run out.  Our money system is corrupt beyond the belief system espoused by most consumers passing for citizens.


Our tourism is dead.  Our roads are crumbling and babies are being searched by goons at airports for weapons.


Freedom of speech, the bedrock of our very existence and self-identity - here in America - is under severe attack with extreme prejudice.  That leaves the second amendment as a cure - and that is troubling indeed.


If you want your kids to live in a world better than the one you found - my fellow Americans - you'd better wake up, open your mind, talk to people you know with "crazy ideas" (like our government is run by criminals who don't share our values) - and act when you come to the realization that war is impoverishing the US, starting nuclear wars to prevent nuclear wars is insane by definition, and that peace really really is a "manly" way to live.


Please watch this excellent interview - and ask yourself why in the world we must turn to extra-American media to hear such a fine interview of such a fine statesman/patriot.  Why indeed?

Ron Paul: The Milk Police

"I am outraged by this raid and the many others like it, and that is why last week I introduced HR 1830, a bill to allow the shipment and distribution of unpasteurized milk and milk products for human consumption across state lines. This legislation removes the unconstitutional restraint on farmers who wish to sell or otherwise distribute, and people who wish to consume, unpasteurized milk and milk products."

Note:  Looks like Ron Paul is the only candidate who will stand up for the Bill of Rights and Constitution. I hope Americans - victims of a bought-and-paid-for corporate media will awaken from their slumber to realize there is a reason for the pundits and sundry talking heads' amnesia regarding the viability of Ron Paul winning the US presidency.

Americans know what they want - but with rigged elections is it really possible to have a man in the white house that represents we the people?  We'll see.

Banks are 'hounding borrowers to suicide'

"Mr Honohan said it was a criminal offence to demand repayment so frequently that it would cause alarm, distress or humiliation; to tell a debtor they are guilty of a criminal offence or to pretend to be officially authorised by law to enforce payment.

Several of the tragic deaths that had crossed his desk had been reported in the media, he said.

His court is a central hub for debt actions that go to law."

Ashcroft is nucking futs.  He really is.  And he'll be the fox guarding the henhouse.


I've gone from trying to convince to simply observing .  US propaganda is highly effective - and especially effective toward those trying to keep themselves informed - as Jaques Ellul said.  It's insidious - those most interested in staying informed are the exact "target market" of the pentagon avenue propagandists.  The whackos are running the show now - and they have the most violent - US government trained killers ready to kill anyone standing in their way.  That means YOU AND ME.


Mercenaries are and have always been the scum of the earth.  STanding armies are ALWAYS turned inward onto the population paying the taxes to keep their paychecks for murder flowing with the rivers of blood in their wake.


Get a gun - you're gonna' need it.  And don't forget the ammo.  


Mercenaries run - go for the head shot.

The product in question: unpasteurized milk."
