Dear Sir. Be Straight with us. Stop BS'ing us. Please!

On President Bush’s Speech, June 29th, 2005, at Fort Bragg, North Carolina

It was a pretty weak sales pitch the oil-company CEO made tonight (28 June 2005). Pay no attention to the man behind the .. uh.. Podium.

Dear Sir. Be Straight with us. Stop BS'ing us. Please!

We are in Iraq to control the Middle Eastern oil supply. These guys (represented by our President) won't own up to that because they know OIL is actually a bad plan and the American People won't buy it, with good reason. Global Warming is why it's a bad plan; but they stick to it because in many cases OIL money got them into office and still holds their puppet-strings, and they're not looking into the future more than a couple years anyway. They deny global warming, forcing scientists WE employ to alter the reports of their undeniable, sinister conclusions on the subject. How about an overheating Armageddon, courtesy of Pharisees and Moneychangers? Corrupt reasoning could cost us dearly, soon enough for us all to see it.

This asset-grab in Iraq, prescribed by the Project for the New American Century, could actually bankrupt the United States of America, and that could very well result in the Balkanization of our own "homeland". Those in power lied about weapons of mass destruction in order to justify the attack on Iraq. The Downing Street memo, along with other documentation, demonstrates the motive for this pre-meditated war crime (invasion of a non-threatening sovereign nation) that was in nebulous planning YEARS before 9/11/01. Tell your co-workers and your customers about the Downing Street Memo. Just say the words "Downing Street Memo". The Press will have no choice but to address it as more and more, the word gets out.

If the purpose of the Iraq Quagmire was sincerely to nation-build (something Bush said he would NOT do, while he was campaigning), to spread the freedom of democracy and remove weapons of mass destruction, why didn't we attack someone like North Korea? They don't have OIL. That's Why. If our President honestly wants to nation-build, we have one nation right here that's needing some serious work. Do you wear Chinese clothes too? Did YOUR job go to Bangalore?

When the President this evening said, "As the Iraqis stand up, we will stand down." he was describing a modern-day Vietnamization. If you follow this logic then, like in Nixon's Vietnam, gradually there will be more and more air strikes, more civilian casualties and more resulting resistance. Also, regarding "standing down", why are we buying and building permanent bases in Iraq now?

Once again, the President used his number one cash cow: the murder of thousands of working people in buildings in New York City in 2001. It enabled him to secure the office of the Presidency for a while longer (until enough people wake up). This is in keeping with Goering's strategy: of keeping "the masses" in fear in order to keep them under control. Rove knows about that kind of stuff.

Maybe some of the time wasted behind the podium, justifying this oil-grab, could have gone to explaining why the FAA air-traffic control tapes on 9/11/01 were destroyed and scattered.

The fact that a great deal of energy has been expended by the current power-structure and their pundits to stifle the information presented by John Perkins ("Confessions of an Economic Hit Man") and essays by college-professor Ward-Churchill, that demonstrate how incidents like 9/11 are basically "blowback" resulting from pseudo-colonial economic policies spanning generations, should be enough for anyone with half a mind to suspect ANY claims from the current Administration and their cronies.

On the idea that they "hate freedom": .. gimme a break. Show me a single human being who "hates freedom". Whaddya take us for?

When our President said, "every generation has produced patriots willing to serve a cause greater than themselves" I was reminded that in World War II, our grandfathers and great-grandfathers went and fought to protect themselves individually, their homes and their families. It was clear that the corporatist puppet Adolf Hitler had designs on Europe and on America too. There was no choice but to stop that fascist machine or risk being overrun by it. The Nazi soldiers our troops defeated had been trained to place their state and the "master race" above their own individuality. This is a principle of Socialism ("National Socialism" in that case). We are NOT socialists. We are a democratic republic of (sometimes rugged) individuals (or we WOULD be if we still had enough brave, honest people in the press to cut through the lies they’re being fed, so that the American people could see for themselves that those who have been bought into office are no longer working to support and defend the constitution of our own country, OR our civil liberties as individuals). Many of those who falsely claim to be "Republicans" today are more akin to the elitist, Federalist Tories who passed such laws as the "Alien and Sedition Act", prohibiting dissent, in the infancy of our country, and deserve to be recognized as such in the press. Serve the Truth.

As the President finished his speech with the usual "God Bless America", those words prompted me to reflect that Abraham Lincoln once said, "...my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side". In my opinion that means doing what is right. I strongly urge those in power to begin doing that. I say, bring our children home, and figure out how to transition our oil-based economy into one based on hydrogen. Save our planet and our descendents.

Unless, of course, what you really want is Armageddon. I don’t.

Speaking of Torture, this "rendition" nonsense has to Stop

I'd be interested to hear someone try to justify the act of flying a human being to a place where torture is common, for the purpose of subjecting that human being to it. The Italians just arrested a bunch of our CIA agents for allegedly doing just that.

PBS NPR CPB Deserves our Attention for a While

They'll try to corrupt it, they'll try to starve it, they'll try to destroy it. We need to work together to ensure that no-one succeeds in turning our last corner of the public airwaves into a latter-day version of Pravda.

If approved, the current budget reduction would amount to a 25 percent cut for public broadcasting - far less than the 46 percent originally proposed.
...
Yesterday, the CPB board announced they had tapped former Republican party co-chair, Patricia Harrison, to lead the organization.
...
What they're trying to do is use this to cloak efforts to create a more government-friendly news business. They have been very successful in co-opting commercial news, you see, in co-opting, embedding commercial reporters. Now they're marching on the non-commercial media system.
...
[Is it possible that] the move to cut the funding was actually to some degree an attempt to take the heat off the actual move to put Harrison in, and in essence, get the public concern about restoring funding more than Harrison getting into office?
...
[(Sounds like classic Rove to us)]

Haven't we gotten dumb enough already?

One thing I find very frustrating when I engage some people in conversation about public affairs, is a tendency for folks to deny a plain truth by attempting to focus the discussion on irrelevant particulars. I see it whenever I tune in to C-Span too. Here's what I mean: when CBS found information that demonstrated that George Bush was derelict in his duties in the National Guard, a thunderous outcry was sounded across the land regarding the medium on which the information was transmitted. This was in order to shift attention from the fact that George Bush WAS derelict in his duties in the National Guard, to evidence that documents were re-created (but still based on facts). The public bought it (or so much of the corporate media would have us believe). I saw this when Congressman Sensenbrenner stood in plain contempt of the facts, then declaring them irrelevent (before storming out of the room), when numerous credible witnesses with irrefutable evidence demonstrated beyond a doubt to anyone listening that the Patriot Act provisions that are scheduled to sunset this year pose a severe threat to the civil liberties of the people of our beloved republic. I see it whenever I hear someone (citizen, newsreader or public servant) referring to the torture of human beings simply as "abuse". Please explain to me how being attacked and bitten in the genitals by trained dogs, being "waterboarded", or beaten to death, is not torture. Then pull your head out of your butt and take a look around.

When you sense that you are wronged by a person in business, and their only reply to your claims is on the level of, "well, you signed right here...", without any consideration of the overall circumstances, you are experiencing an encounter with a corporatocrat: one of those who has given up on humanity and is resigned to merely "getting mine" in a system that values balance sheets over the lives of human beings. I will venture here to say that many of those in our federal legislative branch who call themselves republicans (but are NOT.. we would not be going broke if they were) have succumbed to this corporatocratic malady. They have lost the ability or the INCLINATION to recognize plain truths EVEN WHEN THOSE TRUTHS ARE OBVIOUS TO US ALL, and instead will focus on minute details to support their arguments.

It has gotten us into another failed war. It has drained our treasury. It is destroying the American dream of social mobility: the ability to climb higher than the hights to which ones parents may have reached. It has destined millions of Americans to never realize the independence of spirit that comes only from being a rugged individualist, and not from being on someone else's payroll.

It's as though a stupidity has seeped into the conciousness of the collective American Mind. It is frightful. Stupidity kills. It kills teenagers who drink themselves giddy, then operate automobiles. It kills innocent working people in skyscrapers when the policies of their government cause those living in third-world countries to take desperate measures. It kills centuries of educational development when certain states forbid the teaching of evolution in the schools.

Stupidity kills countries when those who resent elitist power vote to keep elitist power in office.

Stupidity kills countries when those in power run the treasury into the ground.

And now Stupidity wants to kill a public service that is devoted to reducing stupidity.

They're going after PBS and NPR! They've already put one of their lackeys in charge of it in the same manner that they've placed their other officials: put someone who opposes the entity in charge of it, who will engineer its destruction. Now they want to cut the funding.

Let your legislators know that you've had it up to HERE with the stupidity coming out of Washington. Sign the petition to save PBS and NPR here:

Hey, Republicans, still have doubts?

Here is a prime example of the direction the U.S. is going in. These people don't care about freedom or liberty, or democracy. Sensenbrenner must be censured, and Sensenbrenner must step down. On Friday, 10 June, 2005, he showed the Corporatist Party's (How DARE you call yourselves Republicans) true Colors. You may still find the footage on Cspan (http://www.cspan.org/, look for the "House Hearing on Patriot Act Reauthorization (06/10/2005)"), or at the following link:

More on the 14 points of Fascism

See a Flash Video by Eric Blumrich, narrated by radio host Mike Malloy at http://www.bushflash.com/14.html or at http://www.ericblumrich.com/14.html.

So THIS is where they get their ideas:

The Big Lie technique...

"The primitive simplicity of their minds (the masses) rend them more an easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell the big ones.

...The victor will never be asked if he told the truth...

Success is the sole earthly judge of right and wrong.

People will accept a lie if it's big enough and truth is not as important as success."

Sunset the Patriot Act provisions

"
Some of the extreme provisions in the Patriot Act are attacks on
fundamental American values. The Constitution and its Bill of Rights
emphasize the need for checks and balances on government agents and
limits to their power. The Patriot Act rolled back key judicial
oversight and gave law enforcement significant new powers that go
beyond the war on terrorism.
"
Call your legislators. Tell them to let those provisions sunset. This is the land of the Free. Help us undo these attempts to turn our republic into a police-state.

Save a Democracy: Buy your gas at Citgo

If it hadn't been for Saddam Hussein, Bush would have us attacking Venezuela right now. There is evidence that the BUSH/ROVE axis has their sights on Venezuela for the future. Already the BIG LIE machinery of FOX and Clearchannel are manufacturing consent for an eventual invasion of Venezuela.

You can help save a democracy, (and incidentally MANY, many lives), by excercising your purchasing power.

Citgo is a wholly owned subsidiary of Venezuela's state-owned oil company. Do your business with them and not with the Rockefeller / Big-Brother oil companies.
