Speaking of Fraud.

There is a new "Christian" station on the air in my area. It runs 24/7 denigrating Islam, Muslims, Obama, Democrats, Liberals, and anyone else not "blessed of their God". Their mantra seems to be "War is Great and ordained of God"

I'm not sure that they realize that their God is Conservatism because they claim to be living for Jesus.

I listen to the station every day - but I admit never more than two hours - I have been waiting to hear a sermon. Might have to wait until next year - possibly never - that is until the Republicans get back in.

Now these self professed Christians are truly frauds.

Good. And there can be a message there if we just look for it.

We can't wait for "somebody else" to do it . It is our responsibility to fix what is wrong in our country so that our children don't have to inherit what we didn't bother to fix. It's not their doing. It's our responsibility.

We need to get rid of every incumbent this next election. There is only one way we can do that. Select someone from the Independent ranks who you think would make a good godfather for your children and vote for them.

Even if you fail, you will have tried. There is no excuse for not trying.

Just one of the promises broken that Obama could have accomplished by Executive order. I have yet to find a promise kept by Obama that he could have kept by simply issuing an Executive order.

When you don't do first things first, usually the result is chaos.

Seems to be where we are headed. But here is something else to take to the bank - many people will turn back to the Republicans. If you don't remember who they are, let me remind you. They are the Party that screwed you into the corner in the first place.

The failure of Obama does not make the last Administration better. The last Administration is the worst in American History and is likely to stay that way. But that doesn't make Obama any better either.

The solution is to get rid of the Republican and Democratic Parties. Forever more vote Independent - whatever you do, don't bring the crooks back again.

Good Article

The war is hard on American soldiers, and is hard on the American people. The war has no purpose other than to provide a profit stream for the Military Industrial Complex. Perpetual war means never ending profits to the War Corporations.

A week or two ago there was a report out of Washington that it now costs One Million Dollars per soldier per year to continue the war. With 100,000 soldiers on the ground that per capita cost comes to $100 Billion per year, and that doesn't count the Mercenaries who cost at least half as much .

Just think Republican Americans are screaming about the Healthcare Costs projected to be $1.2 Trillion over 10 years. Realize that in ten years the Afghanistan War will cost significantly more than that? About $1.5 Trillion. And thats if the taxpayers are lucky.

War is a mighty profit maker for the few, the rest of the people suffer if they are lucky and become death and injured statistics if they are not.

And all this for nothing other than to profit the Rich and Powerful. That's why the Democrats howl against the war, but have you noticed than haven't moved to stop it? The Rich and Powerful run the Democratic Party also.

Who was it that said " The strong will rule as they will, and the weak will suffer as they must" ?

Yes Steve

We have poisoned our future for the mad war mongers who want to profit until they die. Somehow they think they can escape the Grim Reaper. You see, they think money can buy everything - even immortality.

But it doesn't work that way. Already the people of Iraq are experiencing so many birth defects that women in that godforsaken country are leery of having children.

Seems their first question on the birth of a child these days is "Is my child normal"? Some of the monstrous birth defects occurring in that infected land are as bad as anything designed in a horror show.

And the DU is spreading like a cloud over the earth.

I'm not sure those who are afraid of "Global Warming" are paying attention. If we don't stop the War Monsters, there won't be any humans around to die from the environmental effects.

This is the greatest tragedy unleashed on mankind in our short history on Earth. And it could bring the Armageddon that the Religious Right are so looking for.

But I have a warning for them - don't expect to be saved. Didn't God warn about looking back?

I agree Steve.

I ask can there be wars without villains?

Do these villains just happen or are they created by propaganda?

Are the Palestinians Villains? The Iraqis?, the Afghans? The Iranians?

Would they think we are the Villains? Why would they think otherwise?

I read an article today about Iran and how they took those Embassy hostages back in, was it 1979? It told everything about those 444 days , but that story never used a drop of ink to tell WHY the students took the Embassy personnel as hostages. The slant was - Iran Bad, U S good. Finding the reason for the taking of the hostages in the MSM is as rare as winning the lottery.

I think I might remember that they had just deposed our Puppet, the SHAH, and we were trying to stir up the populace to overthrow the new Government.

Gosh that sounds a whole lot like what is ongoing there now.

I saw something alarming a day or two ago. After researching it I find it happened last March. How could something like this have been kept so quite? What was it you ask?

Well in a courtroom during a trial as the Defense Attorney was making statements to the Judge with the defendant beside her, one of the courtroom police came up behind the attorney, went thru her papers on her desk behind her, took a couple of documents out of her folder and left the courtroom with those documents. The defendant just happened to see the officer and he notified the attorney. She asked the Judge what the policeman was doing. The Judge asked the Prosecuting Attorney what the Defense Attorney was talking about. He said he didn't know.

The kicker is that the Judge was looking straight at the policeman as he was riffling thru the defense attorneys papers. It just so happened that that courtroom uses a camera to record court proceedings. That film is what I saw.

After my research I found that the trial where this happened was about police malfeasance. And when the incident in the courtroom was heard by another Judge that new Judge ruled that if the Defense Attorney wanted to find out what papers the policeman took and why he took them, the defendant would have to give up all communication he had ever had with his attorney.

I say things are way out of control already.

Only one news service has mentioned this incident to date. Steve what do you think might be going on.

What was the defendant bringing charges against the Police Department about?

He was a blogger who had written articles about how corrupt the Police department was. Ten police raided his home a took his computer and all his records, etc. So he was raided for his articles about the Police corruption in Phoenix.

The truth might not set you free, it might land you in jail. Be careful what you blog.

Very Good Debra

But you need to add to your statement

"We owe it to the troops and to the people of other countries who are looking to us for their salvation."

We also owe it to our Children and theirs. This madness can only end one of two ways:

1 We will be the Dictators of the World

2 We will be defeated in our World conquest

Some will say that the best option is #1 , but ultimately #1 will end in overthrow of a despotic government. Let me quote you Marcus Aurelius a former Emperor of Rome:

"Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too." - Marcus Aurelius

Speaking of the International Financial Influence and how it is afecting the life of every American even today.

I ask all of you to read the following statement made by the Mayor of NYC many years ago:

"The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states, and nation. At the head is a small group of banking houses generally referred to as 'international bankers.' This little coterie... run our government for their own selfish ends. It operates under cover of a self-created screen...[and] seizes...our executive officers... legislative bodies... schools... courts... newspapers and every agency created for the public protection.--John F. Hyland Mayor of New York City (1918-1925)"

This is what I mean when I speak of a Shadow Government. Today's Shadow Government includes the Neo-Con influence, and our Two Parties.

Our two Parties, Republican and Democrat are actually functional arms of this International Financial Cartel. They use their influence over their members to frame American policy that supports the aims of the Cartel - what I call the Shadow Government. This Government rules most of the world and remains in the deep background, but as the Mayor early in the 20th Century observed, their tentacles are in every thing.

I have proposed ways to get rid of the Two Headed Monster in Washington, and thus make it possible to cut the binding chains of the Shadow Government.

Until we replace the Corrupt Government that now occupies the drivers seat of our Government we will never again have the freedoms promised by our Forefathers.

It really is that simple.

I think you may not have read the posts over a long period of time. I think that if you have you will find everything from articles about the need to return to the Constitution , to the need to reign in the Military Industrial Complex, to articles about the need to reverse the transfer of wealth from the masses to the Elites.

Also you will have read articles asking a movement to Independent Parties by the citizenry and specifically the Populist Model. Articles about the immoral actions of the the Two Major Parties and how they have abandoned the people.

Finally you will have read articles about how Party Loyalty has become the most dangerous threat to our freedoms and also articles about Constitutional Reforms.

All these articles I have seen posted on this site and many more similar.

Your point is well taken, but at the moment look at where we are : Our government is pursuing wars of choice that is costing multiple times more than the much ballyhooed cost of Health reform.

That is why there is so much written about wars of choice, the cost in lives and money is killing this great country. And they are conducted to enrich only the elite. The poor and less fortunate are those who enter the meat grinder and die.
And they do this in a false Patriotic fever.

No war now ongoing or conducted in many years needed to have occurred.

I pose that this is very much something that is against the ideals of the Populist.

And I am willing to debate it on these pages as vigorously as you desire. One of us should have the facts close enough to convince the other since we both seek for the good of our country and our freedoms.
