Obama calls for allegedly “proportional” retaliations for ALLEGED hacking of Election.

Did you know that priests and doctors are combatants?

They hanged Pinocchio and let Gepetto walk… 12/30/2006

As is so often true in death penalty cases. From 1979 til 1991 he was propped up by mostly the Reagan Regime as a counter to the Iranian revolution. Who are also the chief “witnesses” against him in the matter … Continue reading

Rule of law & American Exceptionalism

The extrem(ist)e lack of the first puts any claim of the latter as the very essence of arrogant falsehood. We’re told that America, and ONLY America, actually deserves to run the entire world because we’re better than them. What’s that … Continue reading

Bob Holmes said he cares for Homeless PEOPLE

…but that homeless women breed like rabbits. And while I wasn’t there at the rally at UCCS or however the hell they put it, it strikes me that it’s incredibly unlikely that he used the PEOPLE noun to modify the … Continue reading

Royal Wedding rescue mission to provide Bread and Circus distraction…

As the Empire burns… “Rescue Mission” was the excuse for the ultimately FAILED invasion of Grenada, to draw attention away from the Iran/Contra cartel FAILURE getting skunked in Lebanon. And to divert attention from the British Naval bombardment of Argentina … Continue reading

How come Pottery Barn rules don’t apply to Haiti?

When Tony posted nearly three years ago (!) about how shocking conditions in Haiti had become, it was a magnet for people saying the starving kids pictures (from Medicins sans frontiers, internationally respected medical aid agency, just not so much … Continue reading

Catholic Global War On People who Don’t Comply With Corporate Rulers

Some of the issues were very publicly addressed by John Paul II. Not as publicly by Benedict but even Pope Joey Ratz doesn’t give blessings of the church, and thus absolution to Catholic chaplains and other soldiers. Abortion. That’s a … Continue reading

Hubris, thy name is Gazette

Maybe it’s because the American-born Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki is in fact born American, but his statement that there should be Retaliatory killings of American Civilians fits so very well with the American killings of Afghan, Pakistani, VietNamese, Korean, … … Continue reading

They set themselves up for this…

MMMMM… my favorite dish… Chickenhawk Supreme. So we spent the 1970s and ’80s enduring some truly nauseating propaganda flicks, mostly on the order of “We could have won VietNam, if only” and a long string of excuses that even though … Continue reading

Hannity spinning, spinning, just not, alas, in his grave… yet.

Plenty of time for that though. All his Ill Gotten Gold won’t save him. The Pope, the one Hannity and others praised for “saving the Catholic Church from a Marxist rebellion”… having a little bit of trouble. However are they … Continue reading

From the swamps of Okefenokee to the shores of Tripoli.. and beyond…

I know, it’s supposed to be unpatriotic to remind the U.S. Military of how many times they’ve had their Pasty White Collective Arse handed to them by barefoot dark-skinned savages… Such as the first two foreign engagements, one against the … Continue reading

Cool Runnings vs selling out the whales

New OAS- Sans Canada and the U.S.

Ward Churchill: Some People Push Back

Here is Ward Churchill’s notorious 9/11 “Little Eichmanns” essay, published online September 12, 2001, presented here for archival purposes lest critics think they can silence one of our nation’s strongest dissenting voices. Churchill later expanded this piece into a book … Continue reading

Honor Above Orders.

Not about the Mai Li – Lt Calley Massacre, or the Kent State Massacre, or other well known incidents when U.S. soldiers refused to question orders. See, I get a little flack from ReichWing Trolls saying that Scottie McClellan was … Continue reading

Saddam Hussein Show Trials Highlight US as Land of Kafkaesque Law

How many show trials must the US engage in to totally make itself an international mockery? The American government specialty seems to be to illegally invade another country like Panama, Grenada, Yugoslavia or Iraq, and then to have a farcical … Continue reading
