Wrong Side of the Tracks

My usless brothers

2010-12-10T09:08:00.000-08:00

Bill Marcus, 62 years old, a total waste of human being. Pretending to be a born-again Christian, he seems to have absolutely nothing to do with Christ's teachings. He found "Jesus" when his sperm met an egg and the wife spoinked out a little genetic entity. Do dogs or cats find Jesus when they drop their womb turds? No, they don't. It's a game of survival for all life. But only the delusional read far too much into this "miracle" of birth. These born-again types actually have a disdain for life not brought forth by their own biological undertakings.

Brother "Christian" Bill has yet to confess a single sin, paramount to becoming "saved," whatever that means. Odd, since he hasn't renounced a single evil behavior concerning his very hateful and covert interference with my other family members. Why? He can't see. Good ol' Christ hasn't opened his eyes to his own behaviors. And he's not willing to look at himself whatsoever. He's all too focused on "what others do," see? Not exactly what Christ taught.

John Marcus, "musician" who sold out to Nashville's corporate music business to play garbage pawned off as "country music." Guy is a one trick pony. Souless. Tinny. Tim McGraw is a manufactured talent. Didn't really come from the place where country musicians of old came from -- their hearts, lives and hardships, loves and losses, chronicled through hand crafted songs. McGraw's claim to fame is through his daddy, a long gone baseball player. McGraw needs more effects on his voice than a heart transplant recipient needs machines to stay alive. He's out of tune, has nothing to say, and is basically used by corporations to sell mostly beer. Here's the equation corporations dreamed up -- "country music" = beer sales. This now extends to erectile dysfunction drugs, automobile and truck sales (FINANCE TODAY, YOU STUPID LOW WAGE WHITE WORKERS! BANKS NEED YOUR MONEY TO CONTINUE THEIR GOLF COURSE LIFESTYLES) and other assorted China made goods marketed to the stupid McGraw is made to pander to.

Here are two aging fools who are clueless as to what life is, what their actual purpose is for being here and why. Well, here's the deal -- you were put here to find your own salvation. Brothers, that does involve actual sin confession. All of them. From who knows where to whom. See, 'cause Christ said those who claim Christ yet don't do the do stand to burn in Hell. Biblical, folks. Sorry.

Gotta be asians or something. The "comments" are nothing but scam for corporate products and services. Gee. It would be great to see an actual opinion posted in response to my articles. Alas, the people are braindead. Corporations won. Earth will be closing in the next five years....

Veterans Day 2009

2009-11-11T08:37:00.000-08:00

Veterans Day 2009 - another day to slobber all over our troops as our Commander in Chief, Barack Hussein Obama, gets ready to send into Afghanistan 40,000 more troops ... to do what specifically? Oh, well.

But what a week it's been during the run up to today. On FOX NFL Sunday, their panel of has- been coaches and babbling drugged out former QB's of days gone by, and who just isn't all that entertaining as he flails away hysterically, don military fatigues and travel to Afghanistan to suck up to a group of screaming and hooting of mostly bald headed and tattooed-up-the-butt deluded crazy people thinking they're "serving our country" or something similar. There was no mention of the 2,500 or so veterans who died this year without a shred of healthcare in exchange for fighting for corporate profits (ref.: "War is a Racket" by Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler -- http://www.lexrex.com/enlightened/articles/warisaracket.htm).

Worse still is corporate media seems to think America still supports the war efforts, especially in Afghanistan. News flash: Majority doesn't as Obama prepares to send in 40,000 more to do what exactly? No news there, either. So, here we have every single mainstream media TV show masquerading as news slobbering all over our troops -- most of these TV people never having served themselves -- as if we're Godsends to tell all these poor peasants how to live their lives and all become fantastically prosperous via the American way, Jesus or something. All while we're ripping off their resources at a mad rate -- the real American way.

Odd, too, is none of our babbling slobbering military groupies, especially the ones in Congress, talk about the amount of money spent on sustaining our two undeclared wars to nowhere. It's as it they're just a part of American life now as much as grass growing on someone's lawn. Rightists are hysterical as they scream against "govt run healthcare" but omit completely to govt run wars to nowhere which funds being spent could pay for universal healthcare 10 times over for the next decade. I can't explain the disconnect other than corporate powers are making too much money off these wars to have those funds cut to be used to actually help Americans. Government helping Americans is a bad thing, I suppose....

Well, I could go on and on about all this. But suffice it to say I just don't get all that excited about Veterans Day. Why, I even saw someone post "Happy Veterans Day" as if it's a new Christmas holiday." Unfortunately, the state of vets and the military coupled with endless wars tearing this nation and other nations apart with no end in sight, I'm just not that happy about it.

Ft. Hood Shooter and Media Pundits

2009-11-10T06:57:00.000-08:00

It's a field day for corporate media as they bloviate about Dr. Hasan, the Ft. Hood shooter as one Dorothy Rabinowitz of the Wall Street Journal gleefully proclaims, "Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's motive was instantly clear: It was an act of terrorism by a man with a record of expressing virulent, anti-American, pro-jihadist sentiments."

(http://online.wsj.com/article/SB20001424052748704402404574525831785724114.html).

I would say to be on the lookout for Ms. Rabinowitz -- she might motivate against Hasan, pick up an Uzi and start shooting "radical muslims" because of her indoctrination into Judaism or "Christianity" or Murdoch's agenda to placate the stupidest and most incapable of our citizenry for her own profits. So, all you authorities out there, keep a careful eye on Ms. Rabinowitz because her radical Judaism or "Christian" views might fuel psychotic acts of terrorism....

Now that we've been forewarned, it is odd that there is no mention of mental illness in Ms. Rabinowitz' tirade against Hasan. There sure was about the Virginia Tech shooter Seung Hui Cho. Anyone with any common sense would see precise similarities to Cho and Hasan. Radical Islam had nothing to do with the latter. Mental illness did.

What seems to escape Ms. Rabinowitz are these similarities and how each manifested it. I recall some jewish fellow not too long ago who went on a murderous rampage, yet his Judaism was never in question as to motive. If Ms. Rabinowitz cared to get honest and straight about all this, she would look at the information which is known about Hasan -- recent history of things like giving all his possessions away; something people do when they're going down the tubes fast. All these other signs of severe mental illness are ignored by Rabinowitz because she sure as Hell needs that paycheck.

It is a fact psychosis manifests at various levels. To this observer, Rabinowitz is no less psychotic in her condemnation of Islam or muslims as Hasan is. The difference is choice of weapon and the fact Rabinowitz, for now, has more of an ability to restrain herself from a full blown psychotic episode. Give it time before she and all the other bloviators EXPLODE into violent madness.

Now We Got "Change" -- Big Deal

2009-05-14T09:21:00.000-07:00

Yep. Obama is now president. And what has changed? Not much I can see. Alexander Cochburn who writes for Mother Jones wrote that Obama is our finest Republican. Paul Craig Roberts writes Obama is totally owned and run by the banks -- precisely what Dick Durbin said on Bill Moyers recently but in regards to Congress. Trust me -- the appointment of Geithner and Summers proves Robert's point. All we have to do is look who Obama bailed out (even after Bush) and how much has actually gone to the American people. All for banks, corporations -- zilch to the people.

Today it is announced Obama will not release certain pictures of Gitmo detainees for fear that might jeopardize American troops and personnel overseas. Gosh! Bush did the exact same things for the exact same reason! It is unfortunate Obama doesn't seem to understand creating mysteries doesn't exactly calm anyone. Imaginations tend to run wild in the absense of facts. Obama will also perpetuate Bush's policies of indefinite detention for certain detainees.

Obama is also perpetuating Bush's policies of across border attacks in Pakistan and predator drone strikes on Afghan civilian targets. This is murder. One must wonder why Obama would willingly do that?

We could also talk how Obama sought to eliminate all advocates for single payer health care during the recent meetings in Congress. Seems Obama sides with the corporatists who've ruined access to healthcare for several millions of Americans. There's many other issues Obama is going down the path of the Bush administration on in his slide to the Right.

How is this change, Mr. Obama? It isn't. Politics as usual as bankers and corporations continue to get a free ride from you.

The School Bully -- From Grade School to Bush

2006-09-14T11:46:00.000-07:00

Beyond President Bush's massive media extravaganza the weekend of Sept 11, 2006, we once again say the schoolyard bully at work. USA, implies Bush and the GOP, is just a hapless victim of nameless terrorists who simply "hate freedom." I won't go into too much detail about the "freedom" "terrorists [Bush's broad and constant generality]" hate so much, but what we see in this sort of rhetoric are the actions of nothing short of a schoolyard bully -- anti-social behaviors actually.

Schoolyard bullies, or bullies in general seem to have several things in common -- personal irresponsibility for their own actions. It is the victim who "makes them" do what they do. Since it is the other person's "fault," this makes it "OK" to bully someone. The bully has no personal responsibility for his or her actions. When trying to explore the bully mindset, one will see it would take a nuclear bomb or something of a similar magnitude to get the bully to see -- maybe -- they themselves have equally as much responsibility for their actions as does the recipient. In settling scuffles on the grade school playground, the adults are charged with getting to the bottom of things and, too many times, the victim is targetted for the scuffle and not the bully. The bully points to the victim saying he or she looked at them funny, and that was the impetus for the bully to bully. More times than not the victim gets punished and the bully is looked upon as the hapless victim.

Such is the case with President Bush and his minions of paid media pundits in regards to terrorism, 9/11, Iraq, Iran, Democrats, "liberals," etc., ad nauseum. Right after 9/11, Bush and the Neocons immediately cried "they did this to us! We didn't start it! They hate freedom" and so on. Is Bush trying to tell America the USA is just a hapless victim and has never done nothing to no one, ever? Is he trying to tell us out of the clear blue, a handful of terrorists committed the horror of 911 simply because they "hate freedom?" Along that line, did Bush, Rice and Powell want the American public to believe that in a mere six months or so prior to 9/11, Saddam Hussein went from having NO WMD's, substantial weapons, weapons programs, etc. [Powell Feb 01; Rice July 01], to building STOCKPILES of WMD in a mere six months just to harm the US? Only now is Bush admitting Saddam had no stockpiles and had nothing to do with 9/11. I digress.

It can always be found out the bully indeed has responsibility in perpetuating a conflict with someone be it a person or nation. It can be further found out when the bully is willing to be accountable for his actions, the problem ceases to persist. This does not translate into weakness. On the contrary, it translates into incredible strength [ref.: Jesus Christ on confession of sin].

Because of the US' traditional victim mindset, amplified to new lows by Bush, problems facing not only the US but other nations, mankind and all of Earth, have never been more pressing. Iran is enriching uranium to BUILD A BOMB just to harm the US! Israel is ATTACKED by Hezbollah! Hugo Chavez wants to SELL HIS OIL below OPEC's prices and help others! "Liberals" are out to GET HIM! Insurgents are everywhere! Terrorists are running amok and are as great a threat as NAZI GERMANY and IMPERIAL JAPAN COMBINED! But gas prices are nothing Bush can do about it.... I digress.

Schoolyard bullies are best helped when they are made aware of their own responsibilities in any conflict with another or others. US "freedom" equates to the freedom of certain people and corporations and religionists to impose their will, usually for profit, upon others via shady deals which leave the greater number in shambles. Land gets divided, people get displaced, resources get stolen, people are left to die with no recourse -- and thuse we have the terrorist, reported recently to be mostly nationalists and not radical religionists as Bush and the radical Neocon conservative radical extremist Christo-fascists maintain and in an "ideological battle of the ages." No. What this all is is an administration and government simply not willing to take any real responsibility for its actions, starting with a complete confession of sins.

With all the God babble of conservative talk radio people, Neocons, etc., it would seem natural and a daily ritual to confess one's sins, and one's sins in the context of their various groups as well since the law recognizes groups [corporations] as being the same as individuals, having the exact same {or more} rights. After all, what is confession of sin but a way to unburden one's soul and feel better about onself and everyone else. Wouldn't the same, then, apply to the corporations US uses our military to open up new foreign markets for them exclusively under the guise of "protecting America?" Perhaps if the CEO's of these corporations confessed their and the corporation's sins, wars like Vietnam and Iraq would never be fought, and the value of mankind and life and their basic human rights might be much more respected and protected.

Clue Time for Bush

2005-10-30T19:39:00.000-08:00

Dear Bush, it's clue time for you. And the clue has to do with your amazing inability to judge a person's character, since you have none of your own to speak of. What in the world prompted you to run Dick Cheney as your VP? Did you read any of his horrific cuts in defense spending under the Reagan years? Didn't you get the guy is married to a supporter of homosexuality and his daughter is a lesbian? Then you want to suck up to the Religious Right exclusively, many of whom savaged your ass on your wishy-washy stances on Roe v. Wade. Then there's Katrina. What were you thinking? That you might have to get your hands dirty wading through raw sewage for photo ops? You picked Rumsfeld for Sec of Def. who's still out there committing torture. And you look the other way.

All in all it is Bush, a complete incompetent, who has no character himself, thinking he is some judge of such because some old hag groupie sucked his dick for years in her dreams and would do and say anything to put this moron on a pedestal. I could go on and on about Condi and Powell -- the two traitors who sold out the Iraqis and our troops for a taste of the tiny and useless Bush penis. They knew better than to turn coat against Iraqi civilians and send our boys off to deaths for NOTHING. Bush's own "character" doesn't allow him to state what his noble cause is for invading Iraq. Perhaps the Libby thing will open those doors so we the American people can finally get understanding into this true psychotic's brain about war, death and globalism and corporatism -- all so Americans can get used to low Wal*Mart wages and high fuel prices as a way of life now.

God curse this man. Forever and ever, amen. Let's get some real leaders who actually care about the American people far above corporate issues such as free welfare money for the likes of McDonald's and Wal*Mart and such. Let's not forget the nuclear armed welfare state of Israel. $3 billion/year from US taxpayers for what in exchange?

What kind of Name is "Scooter" for a Grown Man?

2005-10-29T08:38:00.000-07:00

Bush, Bush, Bush. What ever will this incompetent have Rove dream up next? I digress. The plain fact is, as former CIA Ray McGovern has stated many times and even testified to, V.P. Cheney was going back and forth to CIA headquarters at an "unprecedented" frequency never before seen from neither White House but especially from the V.P.'s office. Isn't that in itself strange? We know, too, the Iraq intelligence was fixed -- fudged. In otherwords, made up. Falsified. Lied about. Pretended. Faked. Faux. And when Joseph Wilson DARED question the validity of Cheney's made up Iraq nuclear program, Cheney spoke the name of his wife, Valerie Plame to EVERYBODY in the White House. You gotta know Cheney got her name from Tenet. And Cheney, Mr. "Go fuck yourself," is a vindictive, malicious man who would lie about an entire nation, peoples, leader, etc., to get Halliburton's meat hooks into any billion dollar venture they can. There is no doubt Halliburton runs all foreign affairs in the United States. Imagine just making up stuff to kill for short term gains?

Well, we've reached the 2,000 US serviceman dead mark -- that's the bogus number Rove tells NBC, CBS and the like to state. Anyone with a mind knows the actual number dead, to include non-combat and those who died elsewhere like Germany from their wounds, is probably more like 9,000. Our injured and maimed probably tally into the tens of thousands now. The number of Iraq dead? Some say 200,000. Personally, I believe 300,000 to 500,000. US seems to have this thing about secrets when it comes to protecting the true cost of these wars. Corporations hate being seen in a bad light like Dow Chemical was for producing the horrific WMD "Agent Orange." Worse, using the stuff on your average Joe in a foreign land -- a people who were in tuned with nature and the wildlife and would play with the monkeys and such. The US sees these people as something to mess with, apparently. In Washington, they play with monkey's too. Mostly spanking them while formulating policies to see which corporation can make the most money freely using the People's resources and assets. I digress.

Bush has yet to state what his noble cause is for invading Iraq. He allowed Rumsfeld, a complete incompetent, to ruin a completely sound plan of the Pentagon's to "cut costs" and in doing so has now cost the American people triple of what he thought he was to save. Something like that. "We won't quit until there's total victory!" That's what Bush said. Victory of what? For what? For whom? Whom are you fighting, Bush? Besides those old internal demons of madness and propitiation to priests (Falwell, Robertson, Dobson, etc.)? Bush talks about Miers being a woman "of character." How in Hell does Bush know what character is? He lied about Iraq, chose a VP who lied about Iraq, allowed and coerced (perhaps) Condoleezza Rice to do a 180º on Iraq after 911 (all her pre 9/11 Iraq intel "miraculously" turned out to be the correct intelligence! Whooda thunk!), and Bush never seemed to question any of Cheney's decades old desires to occupy the region and for what specifically. Gee. It would 'a been great if Cheney was whispering into Bush's penis ... er ... ear about alternative energy sources or getting energy corporations to rebuild their infrastructure or encouraged Bush to question the motives of cronie Joe Allbaugh regarding FEMA and the actual state of preparedness and the resources for such in a post 9/11 America. But ... no. Cheney, complete with lesbian daughter and lesbian advocate wife, had a hard-on for Saddam Hussein, a guy who was on the decline; a guy mor interested in taking Viagra® and fucking his brains out. Well, he did just that. Saddam's brains were all fucked outta him. And simultaneously, as Saddam's brains were being fucked out, so were Cheney's and Rumsfeld's and Perle's and Wolfowitz'. Bush hadn't any brains to begin with to have them sucked out. Bush has to use and still has to use Clinton's brain which was very fucked to begin with as well. I digress.

As author Kurt Vonnegut told PBS' David Brancaccio a week or so ago, what Bush should have done is, rather than start the Dept. of Homeland Security (another complete bureaucratic failure of good ol' boys), he should have set up the Dept. of the Future. Republicans, and Democrats, just cannot seem to think in terms of the future. Always in the short term. Then when long term problems come to light, here come the Harriet Miers and "Scooter" Libbys and the anti-gay rhetoric and every possible diversion to mask the bubbling muck of the long neglected. I venture to say there is no Jesus to come and rescue you away from that which we ourselves created. Why would one be rewarded for such? I believe Bush intends to pass the buck for all eternity or close to it and let Jesus come and clean up his mess so he can relax at his Crawford mansion in the sky....

Remember, the Republican (and Democrat) creed seems to be "let someone else do it. If it feels good (for key CEO's), do it. Never help anyone, really. And never state actualities." But above all, make sure the media tows the White House line at all costs. Fascism is what made America, and fascism is what will keep America "surviving." Too bad those who would do this cannot even define what America is anymore.

The Downing Street Memos

2005-06-14T13:06:00.000-07:00

Anyone who has been following this story from the very beginnings of Bush beating the drums for war in what is now accepted as the big ruse -- war on terrorism and as revenge for 9/11 -- should have known at the onset something was very amiss. None of his nor any of his administration made any actual sense. We know Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell stated just months before 9/11 Saddam Hussein was no threat to the US, Iraq was no threat to its neighbors and had no substantial weapons. One has to ask where they got this information since all of this has been borne out stemming from years of inspections and actual troops on the ground.

Then came 9/11 and "everything changed." The only thing which seemed to change was Bush making the decision to make a military only strike against Saddam Hussein regardless and at any cost. Out he sends Powell to the UN to make up fantastic generalities about mobile weapons which turned out to be weather balloon machines and just unbelievable gnashings of teeth to a very skeptical UN and world body. I knew it was all generalities and something very desperate on Bush's part considering Powell's statements above (Feb 2001). Could it be true from Feb of 2001 to 9/11 Saddam went from having no substantial weapons to possessing STOCKPILES of WMD just to harm the United States? Why? Saddam loved the US. He loved Reagan's and Bush #1's Yankee dollars and weapons. Saddam was very amenable to virtually any whim the US had. He played ball. He was a good doobie. A good soldier in Reagan's and Bush's fight against Iran. He wasn't stupid. What would possibly make Saddam want to have his nation -- and himself -- blown to bits in a nuclear holocaust by attacking the US with WMD? It makes no sense whatsoever. Because he didn't want that whatsoever. Saddam only invaded Kuwait because of some cross orders from Bush #1. Some severe miscommunications, I might add. Saddam got the idea that invading Kuwait was perfectly acceptable and for his reasons stated. After all, Kuwait was undermining Saddam's oil prices and putting the squeeze on Saddam. He communicated with the UN. He communicated all this to Bush #1. And when signals were crossed, he went in. He got his ass handed to him on a plate. Saddam was resigned to living out his life massacring Kurds (whom he never thought were Iraqis to begin with, so it was "OK" to kill them wholesale like US plantation owners did with black slaves), take Viagra and get laid. Yeah, he supposedly tried to have Daddy Bush knocked off, but so what? Daddy Bush wasn't exactly Mr. Nice Guy himself -- screwing over Saddam, dealing in human trafficking of children for sex and murder in the White House ("Franklin Coverup" by frm. Republican Sen. John DeCamp) and international drug running via the CIA to help fund Reagan's Central American wars and beyond ("From the Wilderness" by Michael C. Ruppert.

Enter King George. Long before 9/11, Bush had military strike in Iraq on his mind. Paul O'Neil wrote this. Richard C. Clarke wrote this. The Downing Street Memos support this utterly. Nine months before the actual invasion, and before the passage of UN Resolution 1441, Bush and Blair were engaged in a secret war bombing Iraq far beyond anything that went before it (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1632566,00.html). Bush was thinking he was going to provoke Saddam into combat, thereby making military invasion "legal." When that didn't work, he went to the UN (the now famous Colin Powell Dog and Pony Show, Feb. 2003).

The rest, shall we say, is history. Bush went in anyway. Screw the international body. Bush is King and can do what he wants -- for Halliburton, of course. Since every single one of Bush's claims have proven false, coupled with all the other information which has come out (CIA found to have known Saddam was disarmed of WMD as early as 1991, testimony of spouses of Iraqi weapons scientists, etc.), could it be Bush simply had and still has a hidden agenda? The second Downing Street Memo (DSM) shows great concerns by the Blair government over Bush's complete lack of post invasion scenario, or who would shoulder the burden of securing the nation and building a democracy in an area of the world who has no history with democracy. This made Blair pause. But, being the good soldier -- and loving US corporate donations to his Labor Party as a little "kiss" from Bush -- how could Blair refuse a friend? Bush has yet to answer questions to clarify the key points of the originally released memo. Bush has yet to establish an exit strategy. Even his own are calling for SOMETHING, Mr. Bush!
The majority of Americans want out -- 60% based upon a Pew Research Center poll released just today. Their support for this war has waned.

Our people are dying needlessly for something the American people will never see any benefit from. What we are seeing is a dwindling spiral of death, madness, chaos and a president utterly disconnected from the American People. Halliburton runs Bush's life. Rove writes his patter and Bush stumblebums over every word, cocksure (no reference to GannonGate, but ...) of ever word written for him by others and not much else. He sleeps well. He has nothing to do with anything, really. Cheney tucks Bush in at night. And the uncertainties and deaths and chaos continue on into a very uncertain future.

There are now calls for the impeachment of George W. Bush for war crimes, crimes against humanity, lying to the American public to wage this war for profit. Men of conscience are asked to join in this vital movement. Hopefully if you are reading this, you are one of them.

George Galloway Rages Against the Machine

2005-05-19T06:53:00.000-07:00

Norm Coleman, R-Sen. MN, stated something to the effect that George W. Bush is how God has blessed America. Hmm. 100,000 dead Iraqis might disagree. Of course, if you are a CEO of a major multinational corporation or weapons maker, speculator, financier, a Right Wing Conservative Christian elite, an anti-abortionist, pro-slavery, pro-global warming, pro-trashing the planet because Jesus Christ shall return to take only his believers away in to eternal bliss, then, yes, George W. Bush And Dick Cheney are indeed a blessing.

If you are a Wal*Mart® workers who have the "priviledge" of being locked up at night in their stores to clean them, for a low wage and no benefits, and you are literally forced to have to buy exclusively from Wal*Mart because that is all you can afford because of working for them (is it just me, or does anyone else notice Wal*Mart workers never seem to be really happy to be there), are in an unwanted pregnancy and wish to have it terminated because it would indeed be the greater good for the greater number as so determined by examining who might be impacted in going forth with such an event and to what degree and on what levels of existence (pursuit of life, liberty and happiness and all that), if you are on a social program, mentally ill, a non-combat injured vet, unemployed, or just struggling against constant changes to your own immediate environment by various corporations making them look all the same, your living space more noisy, toxic and dusty, and are against the threats of more wars for oil and a world run by Halliburton and Bechtel -- because that's all Bush and Cheney are really about -- then one might find George W. Bush is no blessing whatsoever but a curse from Satan.

George Galloway got it right and hit Norm Coleman, who apparently went weak kneed before the truth, right in his little Jesus. The documents Coleman is using against Galloway apparently are indeed forgeries as is revealed in the UK's Socialist Worker paper :

http://www.socialistworker.co.uk/article.php4?article_id=6511

Galloway simply -- and finally -- told the facts about the enormous civilian casualities in Iraq because of Bush's illegal war. He also exposed the utter hypocracy and psychotic nature of the extreme Right in America who appear now to go to ANY LENGTH to discredit anyone, even it if takes years, who opposed Bush's war for Halliburton and the pursuit of oil.

The Charity Commission in the UK states it wants to see the above "evidence." Anyone with a mind will surely come to the conclusion they would be wasting their time to think they have any actual case against Galloway. They would, however, see they may have a case against those who forged these documents -- and that would lead them straight to the United States, the perpetrator of all evil and madness on Earth since WW II, but now in full swing because of the New Fascism under George W. Bush.

Long live George Galloway.

Cowed Corporate Media

2005-03-30T12:18:00.000-08:00

Utterly cowed is corporate media -- worldwide. Yet the potential income for just one major media source to step up and start actually REPORTING on the endless and important issues boggles the imagination. What's the worst that could happen? Criticism? And from Karl Rove? So what? So they whine and attack and make up stuff to hide their crimes through other media outlets like FOX News. So what? Let them scream, whine, attack. The truth shall set us free.

But corporate media, pay attention -- there's MONEY to be made with printing actualities. And in their proper importance. And in all their entirety where possible. The People are starved for information. Really, they are. I know. I am one of them. You who read this are, too, despite all denials to the contrary. Don't even try to tell me after a hard day's work of making up nonsense regarding your editor's idea of a story, like Terri Shiavo which remains a private matter and which laws have already been decided about decades ago, you come home and turn on TV to watch Fear Factor? To tune out? Pop open a Coors®, owned by a staunch Christian conservative who hates gays, yet loves gays when they buy his beer? Gosh! There's almost a story there in itself -- the man who hates gays, yet loves them when it comes to his corporation's bottom line, even to the degree of promoting his product right to that market.

We have huge stories about Jeb advocating total anarchy and kidnapping all for some strange Jesus Christ®™ cult beliefs. Tearing to shreds the law, the Constitution all to placate a segment of rather poor Americans who revel in being poor, and who must think attaining poverty is a good thing or something desirable, as long as one has Bush (Christ®™) to believe and support. Funny, because they could care less if you are incincerated in a thermonuclear holocaust. They've got deep underground bunkers. Bushes are doing nothing really to protect you or America from anyone.

Basically the media wants it all to go to Hell. The eyes of the people are now diverted off into a Terri Schiavo unconsciousness. It is by design and that's why nothing is changing in corporate media. The money isn't being spent to do proper reporting. Worse yet, reports of any real importance are put on back pages if at all. Seems ones job is more important than doing anything to really help anyone. Hunter S. Thompson knew this. He knew his fellow journalists, with the exception of a handful, have forsaken the People and their right to know and know fully, as much as possible. Thompson knew how today's media is unfocused -- here today -- gone tomorrow in the search for more advertising dollars. How the People are suffering, especially in America, the light of the world.

One has to ask the question, why does media sit by so passively? How I ache to do ANYTHING to get others' attention to what I know is going on. I know others do, too. If you have arrived this far in my blog, then you must agree with this.

Is there a solution? Yes. Lots of them. One is to strip all corporations of equal citizenship. Media must be made to take as much time and money as possible to properly bring in as many sides to any issue as possible. Wouldn't that be a fair exchange for being allowed safe haven in America? And benefit from all those tax breaks? And if this was done, and media actually started working for the best interest of the People, and corporate hypnotized Americans tune out, then they could indeed be criticized for being stupid, on purpose.

Corporations want people stupid. So does Bush. He will say anything to keep you stupid. How? It would be great of the media would investigate how. Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler knew. Oh. Never heard of that guy? Can we say "corporate media?"

The Resurrection of The Christ

2005-03-28T09:26:00.000-08:00

I don't believe it as any actuality, but symbolisms stemming from a real good intention to help others and to guide a person into their own shining light of love, kindness, ethics, justice, etc.

Imagine what formulating such a premise could mean for mankind? Peace! So, Christ was wise, but what if he rose from the dead? Yeah, sure! That's the ticket! If it could be believed it was an actuality, and as we have played out the scenario in our minds, all coming to the same conclusion, what harm could really be done by writing such an event happened?

I mean, it is a fairy tale of hope, of forgiveness, even though none of that seems to be apparent in a certain segment of America's "christians." They are the unforgiving mob who slobbers all over Terri Schiavo while one of their own, the very powerful Tom Delay, apparently murdered his own father by pulling the plug on the guy. He was comatose from a freak accident. He had no hope of recovery. He agreed to that and the plug was pulled. But SAVE TERRI SHIAVO BECAUSE IT'S MURDER...! Huh?

Oh, well. The Jesus story is wonderful. He probably existed as a man on planet Earth. But THE only Son of God? Hardly. Rising from the grave? Ridiculous as an actuality. Symbolic? Of course. That is the essence of the premise, all stemming out of a good intention to help others.

Can't go to Hell for that one...?

George Felos and "Soulspeak"

2005-03-28T05:43:00.000-08:00

Ref.: Litigation as Spiritual Practice by George Felos. Felos is a renaissance man, illustrative what appears to be an extremely practical approach to ancient religion, spirituality or perhaps actual knowledge.

Mr. Felos was involved with a severely incapacitated woman named Mrs. Browning whom Felos writes about communicating with the essence of this person which can only be interpreted by this reader as the essence, the spirit itself -- the actual person -- who was apparently in utter agony.

Felos communicated in what some would call a metaphysical manner. Upon reading, I get it was about as straight ahead as any communication one does with anyone else. It's a matter of perception and awareness is what I get from Felos. The old ancient knowledge brought into the modern world. Felos was apparently able to convince the actual person still residing inside her utterly deteriorating and incapable body it was "OK" to move on. And he got a communication back from the person to the effect of, "Well, if it's all that easy, why are you stuck inside your head?" Then she laughed and departed.

When my father passed away in 1992, I had a very similar experience as his wake. There upon the alter was Dad's favorite picture of himself. He had all the Hollywood good looks and a jolly drunk's dispositions, because he was an alcoholic. A true passive, however -- a basic man of peace. So Mom and we kids stomped all over him figuratively speaking. I digress.

It was evident before his death he was in excruciating torment. At the wake, however, I definitely sensed him communicating something to the effect he was absolutely thrilled to be free of his torment! My cousin, the only other family member to preceive this, commented she felt the exact same thing -- the same statements, coming from the same person at the same time! It was very astounding, but it was tremedously relieving, actually. An epiphany to realize I wasn't out of my mind. Here I am in a roomful of people -- two brothers -- weeping their eyes out and I dry eyed because I knew Dad was still there. Just happy to be the Hell out of a body which was really causing him utter misery. How could I have any sadness about that? Yet I was belittled and scorned bitterly by my brothers -- perhaps to this day -- because I did not cry at Dad's death.

Apparently, and as exampled on what I've read in the Internet about Felos, those most critical are not providing any information to either set down any standard, normalcy, established information about spirituality, religion, beliefs, life, death, truth, etc. Felos speaks from his own experiences, realities and perceptions as well as from a legal standpoint, successful in the courts for rights to die with dignity. Perhaps not in a manner agreeable to some who appear to be agenda based. What that agenda may be seems to stem from a belief that all "life" is sacred to a point of keeping alive that which only serves to cause the owner screaming misery, and for some belief which seems to indicate "never help anyone." For whatever reason, critics of Felos seem to be rather maniacal in their criticisms because of differing subjective realities.

I would say to the fellow Felos critic, establish a standard of normalcy regarding spirituality, religion and/or beliefs, or that one belief supercedes any other without substantial proof. All I’ve seen from Felos critics is what is essentially whining to the greatest of degrees.

Critics, go out and show how your beliefs supercede Felos’ or anyone else. Then show me how his beliefs are somehow "wrong" in a completely subjective world.

Schiavo, Media and War

2005-03-26T07:33:00.000-08:00

It all leads back to capitalism, an apparent insidious disease now springing forth from the best of intentions toward man. It is precisely like the history of Christianity in particular, since that seems to be the dominate set of beliefs in America, as diverse and as apparently unworkable as they are to free the human spirit or resolve any real conflicts. Scripture is used to fuel emotions, and now through corporate media (ex.: NBC's "Faith in America" series airing week of 26 May 05). All of this is calculated, through a handful of very wealthy elite, to fuel a basic mindset in America for war (ref.: "War is a Racket" by Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler). War is good business, but for a handful of a mere few. Hell for everyone else.

Terri Schiavo, that pathetic case, was dragged through the media to the highest heights of government when it simply should never, ever have gotten that far. Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida not only committed anarchy (2003's "Terri's Law" later found to be un-Constitutional) but went to almost the same extremes, perhaps worse by trumping up some Jacksonville, Fl. neurologist to write a seven page "opinion brief" after 90 minutes of observation in person and "reviewing" all the actual medical data, to include the findings of Jeb's 2003 court appointed Dr. Wolfson, who, among others, determined and verified after 20 out of 30 days under direct examination, sometimes as much as four hours a day, Terri Shiavo was indeed in what is called a persistent vegetative state. But this Jacksonville Jeb shill for "Jesus'" mere opinion was what Jeb used to essentially devise his plot to kidnap Terri, and perhaps even by military force, via Florida Dept. Of Auschwitz, er, Dept. of Children and Families which Jeb has cut funding to into the millions and who also has a rather long trail of dead bodies, mostly children, left in its wake.

But that's the Bushes. Lots and lots of dead bodies around conservative Christians just can't ever seem to find, see or acknowledge. Jesus erased them entirely from memory, apparently. Or they just don't matter. Perhaps both. "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." Sure, Jesus. Erase all memory of those they killed ("move on," like how Bush, christians and media does constantly away from all critical issues on purpose) then claim stupidity for them. What a great way to perpetuate criminality.

Bush's like to take matters into their own hands not because anyone really cared about Schiavo and her wishes, which were determined in court via seven years of testimony by the husband and friends of Terri. But because of some very wealthy corporate elite conservative Christians, in such groups as the philanthropic Roundtable (http://blog.bioethics.net/2005/03/have-conservatives-bought-bioethics.html) who funded, all rather hush-hush, the Schindlers for several years as this media spectacle, NBC's "report," etc.

I will say this; Schindlers loved Terri. Michael did, too. It appears Michael pulled a fast one on the Schindlers regarding money from a settlement Michael received from a malpractice suit. Michael promise a cut, but didn't deliver for various reasons. Terri, now in the Schindler home, and they out of money because of bad investments, counted on Michael to pony up. Zippo. Then the falling out, anger, Jesus, conservative christian funders under the table, media hype, Bushes and now Jesus significance. Just what we need. More descention into christian Hell and madness from hype.

Christian warmongers are putting everything in place to amass the most wealth possible, then blow everyone up. And they used the Schindlers and the organism formerly known as Terri Schiavo, in a very, very crass manner to accomplish such. What a plan....

Conversation with a Bush Supporter

2005-03-17T06:20:00.000-08:00

NOTE: Based upon actual conversations with Bush supporters in various venues.

Question: So, why did both Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell respectively state just months before 9/11 Iraq a) had no substantial weapons, weapons programs b) was contained, not a threat to the US nor its neighbors?

"Answer:" Saddam was a bad man and he HAD WMD.

Question: OK. Yes, he had them. But when 'cause of what Powell and Rice said above would imply in no uncertain terms Saddam had no substantial weapons and was no threat to US, etc. So, again, why would each say this just months before 9/11 if it were not true?

"Answer:" You anti-American communist, Saddam had weapons and he was a threat to the US, get it? He murdered his own people? Are you stupid or something?

Question: Yes, Yes, I understand what's been said, but again, why would Rice and Powell say virtually completely the opposite just months before 911 if this were not true? I am asking you where they got their information that Iraq had no weapons of any real sort, and was no threat to US nor its neighbors! I mean, it's documented and everything! So, where would they get this and why would they say it if not true?

"Answer:" You love Saddam!

Question: No, Saddam was repulsive. We all know that. But who was lying and who was telling the truth? Before 9/11, Powell and Rice stated -- and we're talking about just a matter of months -- Iraq had no substantian weapons, no WMD programs and was contained and was no threat to US nor its neighbors. I mean, you gotta think about this, man, because hundreds of thousands of innocent people died because of this change of story and in such a terribly short time.

"Answer:" It doesn't matter. Bush got rid of one of the world's most terrible dictators who brutalized and gassed his own people and LIBERATED all those Iraqis into FREEDOM! Do you hate democracy and freedom, you stupid leftist liberal commie pinko nerd-freak? Bush wants to bring democracy to all them "turd world" nations so they might benefit the FREEDOMS we enjoy so much here in the good o'l US o' A!

Question: Um, what we have here is a failure to communicate. Are you saying the reasons US invaded Iraq was to liberate the Iraqi people? Or to find WMD because he was an imminent threat to US? Both? None of the above? Some other reason? I mean, obviously the administration knew Iraq was disarmed of WMD for perhaps as long as a decade before 9/11 by the very admissions of Paul Wolfowitz, one of the orchestrators of this invasion. You are aware Wolfowitz mentioned that out of all sorts of "reasons" which could be used to hard sell the American people on this invasion, WMD sounded the most plausible -- the easiest to pull over on an unsuspecting and short termed memory percentage of the US population. All things considered, it does appear Iraq was indeed disarmed of any WMD, Rice and Powell knew this, stated so publically, Wolfowitz, too, and we also know from others Bush was Hell bent from day one in office he wanted to go after Iraq. My question is, where did Powell and Rice get their pre-9/11 Iraq information which obviously was true to begin with since no WMD were found and even the White House closed the books on all that? Where did they get their data because hundreds of thousands were NEEDLESSLY KILLED in pursuit of what? Am I getting through to you here?

"Answer:" What difference does it make? Saddam was a brutal dictator who needed to be taken out. We liberated the Iraqi people! Yippee!

Question: Um, but did they need to be "liberated" considering Saddam was no threat and admittedly so? Osama runs free still? Construction has virtually stopped. Insurgency stands to halt any real progress, Bush has not trained up any viable Iraqi forces, Italy and several others are pulling out, missing billions of US taxdollars, starvation, unemployment, brownouts constantly because US has failed to invest into Iraq's electricity grid (jes' like at home) and as Porter Goss said to Congress just a few weeks ago, US now is at greater risk of domestic terrorist attack because Bush failed to secure Iraq early on when he had the chance! Essentially Bush has now made Iraq the immiment threat he babbled about incoherently when it wasn't any of the sort prior to 911! Bush trashed the place! And no WMD! And thousands and thousands dead and aren't getting better! Where did Powell and Rice get their pre-Iraq intelligence which was SHOWN to be the TRUTH and why were they so willing to lie about what they said just after 911?

"Answer:" Look at this new SUV I bought....

There you have it, folks, a satirical, unfortunately not all that satirical, look at how "conversations" go between real Americans and the phony Americans who could care less about reality and who just want TV fed delusions of sweetness and light. If we were allowed to see and experience the actual realities through a media who is now nothing more than a constantly running Viagra ad, Americans might demand more help for the countless numbers of Terri Schiavos, involuntary abortions, limbless children and adults, demolished waterless homes, deformed "human" things because of Bush's use of depleted uranium -- all who are now "liberated" into a Bush "democracy" of McDonald's and low, low wages.....

Times Must Change

2005-03-11T11:07:00.000-08:00

Freedom of religion. Freedom from religion. Freedom to rail against any religion or anything else -- That's America, buddy. I defend religious rights in America. I may not agree with many religions or their beliefs, motives, operations, etc., but I defend one's right to believe unabated.

However, I certainly would insist anyone attacking a certain religion a)respect the rights of that person or group to believe as they wish and b) get accurate information about that which one seems to criticize.

I have a family situation where two brothers, one younger, one older, are so half-cocked on religion they are now both close to becoming street babblers, screaming into space about Martians and FBI agents and flying Jesuses and Moonies and Santarias, and all sorts of imaginatory religionists out there specifically to harm them and "mankind." All this to "save" mankind from the harm of some religionists minding their own business. I tried to point out to them that the Constitution of the US guarantees one the right to build the church of their dreams and shake, rattle and roll to Jesus or space aliens or whatever, in private and unabated. This apparently isn't good enough for them. Now they are on a crusade to stop people from exercising their basic rights to the religious beliefs of their choice because of "scientific evidence" of brainwashing or some such. I tried to point out perhaps they are the ones brainwashed, but now I am accused of being "deranged" because I support strongly religious rights.

It's a very insidious trend -- the insane accusing the sane of being such. I told them if they can prove any religionist is truly insane for holding beliefs dear, and in light of any standards established for "normalcy," I will stop supporting religious rights and join right in with them on the street corner of their choice, bullhorn in hand, screaming at people to beware the religionist.

So far, they've not taken me up on my challange.

The Wrong Side of the Tracks

2005-03-11T09:09:00.000-08:00

I am definitely on the wrong side of the tracks – politically, religiously, artistically, culturally and most definitely spiritually. Sounds redundant, but not really if one could see out from this point of view – "point of view" being what could be defined as the definition of a person. It’s what makes the world go round – all these various points of view. My philosophy, which comes from being a musician for so many years, is communication, is definitely a two way street and isn’t communication unless there’s something to communicate with and about something. So, please feel free to communicate back, and as freely as possible, to any extent, on any subject. Free speech lives here at this web page. I don’t care what is said nor really in what tone. After all, isn’t one as alive as he or she can communicate? Let’s live!

I will close with this – I strongly believe America, and the world, are in deep trouble. One can find out the hard way which is about the only way one has to find out anything substantial at all. It’s been that way for over a century in America. We even had a law requiring even handed reporting. The Republicans made sure that was done away with. Read "War is a Racket" by Smedley D. Butler to really get a good reality on that one. Also read "What Liberal Media" by Eric Alterman. O, we got trouble right here in River City, folks. Unfortunately it is by design. We all need to come out of our corporate matrix Terri Schiavo existence. Not that everything is bad because that would be a flat out lie. I don't think I could have come to the place I am in any other nation than the good ol' USA. But who defines "America" and who is leading this nation to war and for what reasons -- the sources for hard information just are not there as once were to a much greater degree than before Reagan. And finding out all this is like looking at a Tibetan Buddhist piece of art or a Coltrane piece of music – works within works to an almost infinite degree of "look." The more you look, the more you see. Set aside all beliefs and start looking at simply what is. There is so much needing to be seen, understood and handled. The very survival of this nation as a nation of laws is at stake.
