Read this essay by William Blum and you will be asking yourself, "Are we fighting radical Muslims, or empowering them?"

The whole phony "war on terror" is a cynical manipulation of the American people and the citizens of the world. It's not just drone use that is a war crime, the entire military and foreign policy of the US is a war crime.

Who owns the frackers ???
Here is a list of the top shareholders of Southwestern Energy, a Houston-based company that wants to frack New Brunswick, Canada:
http://www.bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2013/10/fracking-mikmaq-guess-who-owns.html
Surprise, surprise: they're mostly private equity firms !!!
In other words, fracking is MAINLY being done so that obscenely rich people can make even MORE money.
When it's all over, THEY will be able to afford potable water. Will you?

Only two brigades are combat ready
The Army Chief of Staff says that only two brigades are "combat ready":

Do we really need an Army AND a Marine Corps?
Why not just switch to drones and death rays?

The future of war in North Africa (and elsewhere)
For a glimpse of the future of war in North Africa, take a look at these two links:
http://www.mintpressnews.com/small-italian-town-confronts-us-naval-station-radio-transmitters/171011/
http://palermo.repubblica.it/cronaca/2013/08/03/news/sigonella_diventa_base_strategica_ecco_le_slides_segrete_della_nato-64227256/
The second one is in Italian, but Google Translate will give you a readable version.
Then go to the slide show embedded in the second link (it's called "ecco le slides che documentano passo dopo passo" in the Italian version of the article, but the slides are in English).
This should give you a feeling for what's happening in Italy and what AFRICOM ultimately is up to.
Along the way, go back and review my previous post about the buildup in Italy:
http://sainthoward.blogspot.com/2013/10/italy-is-our-new-military-launching-pad.html
Several things should be obvious from all this, including:
At this point, recall these words of warning spoken by Senator Frank Church in 1975:
In the need to develop a capacity to know what potential enemies are doing, the United States government has perfected a technological capability that enables us to monitor the messages that go through the air. Now, that is necessary and important to the United States as we look abroad at enemies or potential enemies. We must know, at the same time, that capability at any time could be turned around on the American people, and no American would have any privacy left such is the capability to monitor everything — telephone conversations, telegrams, it doesn’t matter. There would be no place to hide.
If this government ever became a tyrant, if a dictator ever took charge in this country, the technological capacity that the intelligence community has given the government could enable it to impose total tyranny, and there would be no way to fight back because the most careful effort to combine together in resistance to the government, no matter how privately it was done, is within the reach of the government to know. Such is the capability of this technology.
I don’t want to see this country ever go across the bridge. I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America, and we must see to it that this agency and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision so that we never cross over that abyss. That is the abyss from which there is no return.
Folks, we have crossed over that abyss, and the darkness is spreading all across the globe. Clearly, the American people and their Congress are not going to stop it. I have strong reservations whether ANYONE can stop it.
That is the abyss from which there is no return.
Get that through your head. We've already crossed that particular Rubicon, and there is no going back. With that knowledge, you should be able to see why "your" government is NOT going to "fix" the economy. There is no point. We produce nothing (except babies), and we have run out of money with which to consume. We are truly useless eaters, who from now on must be watched and controlled until a "final solution" of sorts can be devised.
If you think I'm on the wrong track here, show me your proof. I'd be HAPPY to take a look at it.

Several things should be obvious from all this, including:
- This is not about defeating "terrorism". It's about protecting global corporations as they extract (i.e., steal) the wealth of Africa, and
- This type of battlefield control can easily be switched to urban environments in the US and elsewhere. It probably already has.

ObamaDon'tCare cancels exiting insurance policies
Hundreds of thousands of policy holders are getting cancellation notices due to ObamaDon'tCare:
http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/Stories/2013/October/21/cancellation-notices-health-insurance.aspx
The idiot in the White House (yes, the No. 1 idiot) is a LIAR. There's nothing worth "fixing" about ObamaDon'tCare. Before this is over, millions of people will have seen their lives wrecked by this stupid program.
THAT'S Obama ad-Dajjal's contribution to this nation.
THAT, and his war crimes, his murders, his spying on you and everyone else, his shitting on the US Constitution, etc. ... in short, a legacy of fumbling, stupidity, mendacity, and criminality.

Judge sticks it to ObamaDon'tCare Program
A Federal judge is allowing a suit against the ObamaDon'tCare Program to go forward:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2471978/Bombshell-Federal-judge-suddenly-green-lights-lawsuit-stop-Obamacare-tracks.html
Obama ad-Dajjal, the man of lawlessness, is a loose cannon who thinks he can do whatever he wants without regard to the laws of the United States. I hope this judge sticks it to him good.
Hey, Congress, aren't his offenses grounds for impeachment? Wake the f__k up, please.

Iranian Compassion ???
Iran has decided NOT to re-hang someone who survived their execution:
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2013/10/22/world/middleeast/ap-ml-iran-executions.html
If it was the US, we'd string him up again for sure. Or kill him with a drone.
With liberty ... and JUSTICE ... for all.
