Let us not forget the 150 or so
rep(tile)s under the Dome who are
HEAVILY invested in the War industry. Now THATS what I call a
conflict of interests, especially
as these souless entities were
elected to represent the interests
of their fellow Americans.
They are not our fellows.

For some odd reason I just recently got Townhall magazine in my mail. Now I don't know who or how it got to me but the cover leads off with an article on how we, the USofA that is, is somehow "winning" in Iraq and that the "truth" isn't being told!

Now tell me something people... just when did those EVIL WMD's ever get destroyed or for that matter DISCOVERED! Hmmmmmm?

It seems a never ending stream of phony magazine articles and blood thirsty rhetoric towards Iran are the only things that the Federal Frauds have found.

Too many internationalist elites with big dreams of political and economic globalism are running the Anglo countries. Their Cecil Rhodes inspired schemes of deluded grandeur for a Anglo-American Power Elite controlled world needs to die a quick death along with them. It's also time to break the English speaking countries into much smaller cantons. It begins first with the odious United State of America followed by the other cesspool, the not-so-great Britain. Break Canada up too. No more commonwealth BS. No more'Star Speckled Banner' either; it's an awful song. It sounds like sh*t. Let the jingoistic assclowns orgasm over it. Stop intervening in the affairs of other nations. Mind your own business and keep your pale Anglo asses in your own yard. Ef the American ruling class and all of their suckass, sycophant politicians with their forced and contrived speeches. Will the serfs ever be able to see through this bullsh*t? Put the president, a by product of continuous Walker and Bush family inbreeding, into a monkey cage with his buggery buddy Jeff Gannon for the rest of his natural life...or not-so-natural life. Throw the English queen, the inbred royal retards, all the aristocrats, and all of the American and British political and corporate insiders to Gehenna. They were the totalitarians who created the UN, who brought the mass murdering Bolsheviks to power in Russia, and who assisted the democidal Mao in his rise to power. They assisted the fascists too. They are the warmongering control freaks who've brought misery and death to the entire world. And this is my middle finger to the ruling elites of these despicable Anglo nations.
Put me on that f'n list!

The time had come that the united States be broken up.

Is it time for secession again?

You nailed it once again, Will. Terrific analysis. On the lighter side, I'd like to back up your opinion about Friedman not being able to do a push up. I was stationed in Kuwait in '05 with the Navy and was tasked with driving Friedman from central Kuwait to the border of Iraq and Kuwait. While he was a nice guy - albeit with deranged views of 'democracy' - he certainly could be accused of suffering from 'little man syndrome'. Not large in stature and showed evidence of living the good life with fine wine and food. Anyway, keep up the great work...

Sadly, most Americans will not see that satellite image of Fallujah. They do not realize what is going on....... they are not being told. All is fine, except for Al Queda & the Iranians. Ya, right.

Killing civilians is ok; as long as it's American or American made bombs or missiles doing so.

I think of those "God Bless America" bumper stickers. If I were to design one, it would say "Lord God, please forgive us and show us your mercy. Bring us back to your ways. Amen"

2008-06-08T17:24:00.000-06:00

Mr. Grigg, this is one of the clearest and best-written explanations of the Bush administration's crimes in Iraq that I've ever seen.

I'm in awe of your eloquence and your ability to express the outrage all of us must feel at these inhuman atrocities.

I wish I had written this!:

"This harangue was roughly equal parts towel-snapping frat-boy faux bravado, corporate seminar positive thinking dogma, partially digested talk radio sound-bites, and reheated Brezhnev-era Soviet revolutionary cant served up in one borderline-aphasic seizure."

My highest compliments to you, sir... Keep speaking the truth, and more power to you.

In Britain, as in the U.S., human rights won in the Magna Carta in the year 1215 are now in jeopardy. Here is Henry Porter, writing in the Guardian, about a proposed law which would allow terrorism suspects to be held up to 42 days without charge or explanation:

------------

Last week, [former Prime Minister] John Major echoed the arguments, made here over the last two-and-half years in some 50 columns, that Britain's democracy and liberties can no longer be guaranteed. He said in the Times that 42 days was part and parcel 'of the total loss of privacy to an intrusive state with authoritarian tendencies. This is not a United Kingdom I recognise and Parliament should not accept it'.

That is absolutely right. In many respects, Sir John had a much tougher time than Gordon Brown, but at no stage did he suggest to his backbenchers that his and his party's survival could be won at the expense of habeus corpus, the idea born in Magna Carta which has inspired every democracy that ever existed."

This is not a form of 'English liberty' that I recognize. Eight centuries -- I repeat -- is a long way to backslide. And it seems that we're just getting started. The curtain has come down on the Age of Enlightenment.

Got night-vision goggles?

In a satellite image of Fallujah taken shortly after American cleansing it appeared like a smoking cinder. An article appearing in the Guardian claimed that 36,000 of the city's 50,000 homes were destroyed. The murderous US assault was itself a major act of terrorism. The time for Americans to look in the mirror and see the rampaging homicidal brute that we have become is long overdue.

The most redeeming quality of the U.S. system is that WNG hasn't been rounded up (yet) and put in a reeducation camp. I hope that doesn't mean that The Federal goons are simply inefficient at surpressing dissent.

2008-06-07T11:34:00.000-06:00

The American people have dehumanized the Iraqis to such am extant that when asked of the wars casualties, most respond with '4,000'- because you are only human if you speak with an American accent.

To both Anonymous @ 6:23 & 7:23:

Your words ring true and it is a frightening thing to see a former republic morph into an empire and then proceed down the path to death. Both of your posts are well stated.

Will, keep up the great work - I relish each of you posts.

I looked at the picture of that poor little boy and cried. Our foreign policy is vile and evil. Our leaders and our " christian " president are a judgment on this country. Forty years in Iraq ? Ha Ha Ha - this country doesn't even have forty cents to rub together. What a joke. Where do these dumb ass leaders think it will come from. China? Japan? I dont think so - they have about had it with our bull&*%!. The rest of the world will pass us by while the glorious republic of the USA is relegated to the dustbin of history. The sun is setting on the West. We are reaping what we have sown.

2008-06-07T07:23:00.000-06:00

"George the Dumber insists that congressional approval of this proposal -- which is a treaty by any honest use of language -- does not require Senate approval or congressional action of any kind."

Another loss in the transition from constitutional republic to "strong-executive democracy" is the rule of law. Basic constitutional principles -- e.g., the prohibition on double jeopardy; the requirement for a Congressional declaration of war; Senate ratification of treaties -- get overturned. Plenty of lawyers in the Congress, the courts, and the president's cabinet can discern what is going on. But instead of defending the rule of law, they apply their talents to rationalizing its destruction with legal sophistry, as John Yoo and Alberto Gonzales did.

Here's a rule of "cosmic law," if you will, that no president can repeal: democracy, coupled with the unlimited credit creation of paper money, is a doomsday mechanism. The democratic incentives of using a magic Treasury credit card with no preset spending limit guarantees that the system will bankrupt itself.

Maybe not tomorrow; maybe not even next decade. Ultimately it will be a "soft default": you'll still receive your $1,500 Social Security check, for sure. But it won't even buy a bag of groceries.

In retrospect, the high tide of U.S. economic supremacy was in the mid-20th century. The endpoint is extremely clear: after the dollar was delinked from gold in 1971, and the first oil shock occurred in 1973, the growth in real wages stagnated and never recovered. The apparent prosperity since has been based on (1) dual wage-earner families; and (2) massive borrowing.

As the debt creation engine begins to sputter (with debt service having become too burdensome), U.S. living standards will enter a long slide into the mid 21st century. Democracy and paper money are a toxic, fatal combination. After this system blows up, we'll have a find a new one to pick up the busted pieces.

There is no terror like American-made terror. We are the terrorists.
