The President of Make-Believe

Obama ad-Dajjal projects fantasy, while suppressing truth and balanced inquiry:

Whose President is he? Yours, or the corporations?

Doesn't he remind you of Hitler, again? The world was awash in flattering images of der Fuehrer, but how many factual, in-depth interviews did he give? How many times did he allow alternative points of view to be heard in Germany?

Selling off the commons

Greece is selling off public assets to pay the bankgangsters:

This happened in Russia and is also happening in the United States. Was it because of "free market forces" or because greedy people with a self-serving agenda (a.k.a. banks and corporations) created the conditions for it to happen?

Dirty Wars

The following is copied from Amazon.com's description of Jeremy Scahill's soon to be released (4/23/2013) book Dirty Wars:

In Dirty Wars, Jeremy Scahill, author of the New York Times best-seller Blackwater, takes us inside America’s new covert wars. The foot soldiers in these battles operate globally and inside the United States with orders from the White House to do whatever is necessary to hunt down, capture or kill individuals designated by the president as enemies.


Drawn from the ranks of the Navy SEALs, Delta Force, former Blackwater and other private security contractors, the CIA’s Special Activities Division and the Joint Special Operations Command ( JSOC), these elite soldiers operate worldwide, with thousands of secret commandos working in more than one hundred countries. Funded through “black budgets,” Special Operations Forces conduct missions in denied areas, engage in targeted killings, snatch and grab individuals and direct drone, AC-130 and cruise missile strikes. While the Bush administration deployed these ghost militias, President Barack Obama has expanded their operations and given them new scope and legitimacy.


Dirty Wars follows the consequences of the declaration that “the world is a battlefield,” as Scahill uncovers the most important foreign policy story of our time. From Afghanistan to Yemen, Somalia and beyond, Scahill reports from the frontlines in this high-stakes investigation and explores the depths of America’s global killing machine. He goes beneath the surface of these covert wars, conducted in the shadows, outside the range of the press, without effective congressional oversight or public debate. And, based on unprecedented access, Scahill tells the chilling story of an American citizen marked for assassination by his own government.


As US leaders draw the country deeper into conflicts across the globe, setting the world stage for enormous destabilization and blowback, Americans are not only at greater risk—we are changing as a nation. Scahill unmasks the shadow warriors who prosecute these secret wars and puts a human face on the casualties of unaccountable violence that is now official policy: victims of night raids, secret prisons, cruise missile attacks and drone strikes, and whole classes of people branded as “suspected militants.” Through his brave reporting, Scahill exposes the true nature of the dirty wars the United States government struggles to keep hidden.


Inside the United States? Since when has our military become the President's "Murder, Inc."? We're starting to see why Obama ad-Dajjal and his minions are persecuting whistle blowers so aggressively: to keep their murders and other illegal acts secret.

Rootless Canada

Here's an interesting analysis seeking to prove that Canada is not a legal "nation state":

Sounds about right to me. And some of the same arguments could be made about the United States of America.

David Stockman speaks

This about says it all: We've Been Lied To, Robbed, And Misled.

Here's a one hour podcast interview with Stockman:

He knew damn well that Reaganomics was bullshit. Shame on us that we didn't listen to him then.

A failed state, again

http://sainthoward.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-failed-state.html

I've said it before, I say it again, and I'll keep saying it until the bitter end - America is a failed state:

The ruling class and "your" Congress is NOT dealing with any of the failed state indicators, other than by trying to sweep them under the rug.

Who is the civilized one?

People who live on and from the land recognize the priceless value of clean air, soil, and water. Those who hide themselves in cities and indulge in frequent doses of delusion (TV and Internet) do not:


It's remarkable that "civilized" people are the ones destroying this planet, while the "primitives" are the ones trying to save it. Perhaps we should revise the definitions of those words:

  • civilized = deluded
  • primitive = aware
