Swiss Flag for the New UnHoly Warz…

Their TRUE colors, shining brightly.Their TRUE colors, shining brightly.
 
Some other European Racist groups such as the Dutch “Freedom” Party (they use the word “freedom” the same Orwellian way the Tea Party does) urge their countrymen to join into the Hate-Feast disguised as Christian Love. Cowards, the whole scurvy crew of them.


New Satellite T.V. station shows all Saddam, All the time.

Launched on the anniversary of him being Lynched by the Puppet “government” of Iraq.

The New Dictators condemn any representation of the Old Dictator as a Human Being, because the standard modus operandi of Puppet Dictatorships is to paint their victims as being sub-human.

Maybe the Iraqi people will hang 4 more on the Fallujah Bridge

Federal prosecutors have asked for charges to be dropped against one of the Blackwater murderers-for-hire, Nicholas Slatten of Tennessee. Whether he personally was guilty of this particular Multiple Murder, he as a member of a Corporate Death Squad shares their guilt. Remember that this is only ONE incident among many.

So much for “Enlightened”

A majority of Swiss Voters gave into racist Fear-Mongering and voted to ban Minarets. Guess even the Swiss are prone to cowardice. Or at least enough of them to pass this law. So much for Proud Traditions of Fearless William Tell, standing up against the Austrian Empire. Is Courage no longer tolerated anywhere?


Original Anti-Zionist jokes in Monty Python’s LIFE OF BRIAN remain cut out of Criterion special edition

monty-python-life-brian-ottoThink you know the saga of the deleted scenes from Monty Python’s LIFE OF BRIAN? Not if you trust Wikipedia. The 1979 comedy didn’t just take the mickey out of Jesus and the feuding Palestinian Liberation fronts, it poked fun at Zionists, as goose-stepping racists led by Eric Idle’s OTTO the NAZIRENE determined to promote Jewish racial purity, carve a Lebensraum from the “traditional Jewish areas of Samaria,” displace the Samaritans into internment camps, and plan an Anschluss of Jordan to “create a great Jewish state that will last a thousand years.” My, my, my. But the defamed parties had the last laugh. They acquired the studio with the rights to the film, obliterated the offending celluloid, reedited the video release, and have rewritten cinematic history.

This is not the hope you voted for

code pink alert


I wonder if we could trade Dobson and Phelps for this guy?


Wal-Mart and Halls pulled the ad…

That they were purveying last year, but still, according to Jim Hightower, and everybody I know who works for Wally World, they still will fire “associates” who take more than 5 sick days. Now, in this flu Pandemic which we’re enduring, and some of us NOT enduring, the recommendations for self-quarantine is to stay home even 6 days after you’re asymptomatic. Count in the 1 or 2 days while you’re very symptomatic, and that makes MORE than the 5 days Wally World will give the Slave Laborers errr… “Associates” yeah, that’s the ticket to be sick and or contagious.

On Afghanistan, tell Obama NO NO NO

UPDATE – TUES DEC 1 ANTIWAR ACTION- Show up. Bring a get-out-of-Afghanistan slogan, or hold extras from Coloradans For Peace.
afghanistan antiwar banner
Sport a healthy indignation over the new administration wanting to “finish the job” ie. continue war-making. Our action will be joined by peace organizations nationwide. As President rallies the officers of West Point, his words will be met by NY demonstrators, and more in Washington DC, Baltimore, Chicago, Seattle and Saginaw. Followed by Allentown, Boston, Eugene, Greensboro, Hartford, Los Angeles, Madison, Maine, Milwaukee, Newark, Newton, San Francisco, to name only the early listings. We’ll be Acacia Park, 5PM Tuesday, and if Obama doesn’t respond to our message, we’ll be there again Wednesday.


Damned if we do…

The Right Wing have a highly developed Victim Mentality, it’s the only reason people like Rush and Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin can make money from their tiny minority of the country who support their ideas. Falling right in line with that mentality is the idea that they’re being “persecuted” and suffering “tyranny” when people ask them not to act like such “titty-babies.”
Since a good share of them are Southerners they’re already familiar with the term, and have heard it many times in their misspent lives. Obviously never took it to heart, because they whine much about the use of “political correctness”.

Tree Killers, Rejoice!

Yes, in keeping with a made-up tradition that has NOTHING to do with Christ, wherein the Timber/Lumber companies can sell pines that are a) Too small to sell as construction material and b) grown using Public Funds on Public Lands, you can buy a permit for TWO Christmas trees per household. 2. As in, double the One tree that the made-up tradition prescribes.

Someone please tell Mrs. Al-Ghizzawi that her husband is cleared for release

Guantanamo legal defense lawyer…if that means anything. It’s a long story, but after waiting eight years locked in Guantanamo, Abdul Hamid Al-Ghizzawi has a tale that could bear listeners. But his lawyer H. Candace Gorman is not allowed to tell it, she’s under court orders to keep mum. Even after details came through the foreign press, a judge ordered that Gorman remove two subsequent posts from The Guantanamo Blog which offered clarification. NMT learned from the Supreme Court Of the United States Blog (SCOTUSBLOG) that Gorman’s articles are still cached. Naturally we have reprinted them here.

Who were the 1,415 victims in Gaza?

PCHR Palestinian center for human rightsAmericans aren’t accustomed to seeing their adversaries as human. The victims of our wars remain faceless and nameless, and maybe as a consequence we accept that our military “doesn’t do body counts.” Not only do we minimize the number of civilians we kill, but their deaths are commodified as “collateral.” Our military proxy in the Middle East does the same. In last year’s attack on Gaza, Israel calculated its casualties in three digits. Those killed behind the confines of Gaza may be faceless to Americans and Israelis, but they leave behind loved ones and dependents, and of course, they had names.

a respectable bird

ben-franklin-turkeys
“For my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. You may have seen him perched on some dead Tree near the River, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labour of the Fishing Hawk; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish, and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones, the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him.

The article mentions a US investigation

into the Lies told about WMDs in Iraq…

This from the second day of public testimony in the British inquiry into why they decided to back Bush’s play even though, apparently, the “intelligence” came from the Bush Administration. They use a lot of Weasel Phrases like “well, if they HAD gotten WMDs they MIGHT have used them”. And pointed out that “unlike other rogue states” they had used them before against quote “their own people”. I guess that leaves out the U.S. government as a rogue state, they’ve used Smallpox and gas attacks against Americans and still do use the gas attacks…. contrary to the Geneva and Hague conventions. From the BBC:

Did you elect Obama to finish the job?

obama cabbage patch doll
 
President Obama wants to “finish the job?” What job would that be? Are we talking about a job which Bush started? Because I am pretty sure Mr. Obama was elected NOT to do that. “Finish” Afghanistan? Where was Obama when the rest of us were learning what it meant to try to finish off Vietnam?

Little East district of Colorado Springs

Bijou Street Asian district between Tejon and Cascade Avenue
I’m already months late in mentioning a new addition to downtown’s ethnic fare. It’s an Afghan restaurant called RUMI’S KABOB, in the location of the old Persian Grill. Rumi’s joins the Everest Nepal Restaurant, the Taste of Jerusalem Cafe, the Pita Pit, Everest Tibet Imports, and the Hookah King, to define Bijou Street’s LITTLE EAST.

Norman Rockwell colorized

Stop recruiting US soldier terrorists

Did I hear this right — Minnesota families are alarmed that their young men are recruited to travel overseas to commit acts of terrorism? Except reporters aren’t talking about shadowy military recruiters with unfettered access to US classrooms and kindergartens enticing American youth to join the global capitalist Jihad, the alarm is about Somali relatives enjoining their fellow refugees to return to their homeland to defend Somalia against Ethiopian invaders.

Obama to announce on Tuesday: surge of 34,000 body bags to Afghanistan

White House spokesmen have announced that President Obama will address the nation on Tuesday, December 1st, to declare his intention to send 25,000-34,000 additional troops to Afghanistan. Join COLORADANS FOR PEACE in Acacia Park at 5PM TUESDAY to show our vehement opposition to this plan. Explained spokesman Robert Gibbs about the week’s time still needed for deliberations on Afghanistan: “It’s not just how we get people there, but what’s the strategy for getting them out.”
