Republican members of Congress and what masquerades as a “conservative” media are outraged that the Obama administration intends to try in federal court Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of 9/11, and four alleged co-conspirators.
The Republican and right-wing rant that a trial is too good for these people proves what I have written for a number of years: Republicans and many Americans who think of themselves as conservatives have no… Continue

Before you go, listen to my reasoning. I'm not asking you to agree but simply to think it over.
Because gift-giving and many other aspects of the Christmas festival involve heightened economic activity among both Christians and non-Christians, the holiday has become a significant event and a key sales period for retailers and businesses, the same corporate entities I've chosen to boycott for the remainder of my life. The economic… Continue
The 'too big to fail' banks are preparing to thank Americans for their kindness in agreeing to loan them the money necessary to prevent their failure.
They'll be outsourcing jobs to India as our reward. To the tune of BILLIONS.
MUMBAI (Reuters) – Leading Indian outsourcers such as Tata Consultancy (TCS.BO), Infosys (INFY.BO) and Wipro (WIPR.BO) stand to gain contracts worth about $1 billion in the next one or two years as U.S. banks emerge from the troubled asset relief… Continue

If you own any shares in alternative energy companies I should start dumping them NOW. The conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth (aka AGW; aka ManBearPig) has been suddenly, brutally and quite deliciously exposed after a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (aka Hadley CRU) and released 61 megabites of confidential files onto the internet. (Hat tip: Watts Up With That)
In the Midwestern heartland, police are encountering a new social evil: trafficking, often involving women and children who are forced to work as prostitutes or unpaid labour; and the outcomes can be brutal.
By Paul Harris in Dayton, Ohio
November 22, 2009 "The Guardian" -- Human trafficking has become a major issue in the Midwest heartland of America, causing some campaigners to dub it a modern form of… Continue

I went to check back on Pandora, god's sake, it does not have any freedom left. Everytime you change the channel some stupid flash video comes up airing a "Twix" high caramel
bad for for teeth candy commerical. Next time I changed the station, it showed me this
stupid television special. What's next? I will list most of the commericals. What is next? Stupid dog food commerical, or some other annoying commerical?

Thanksgiving is almost here and as I think of things I am thankful for, I'm also mindful of things I've taken for granted as an American. Freedom, and all the liberties that come with it are so often not appreciated until they are threatened as they are now… Continue

I still use checks. SO what it costs banks money to process. We know they have been working on the idea getting rid of physical currency for longer than two years. How soon will we hear similar proposals in the US. Further, when will ending paper money be officially proposed? I bet soon. They still have not make credit/chip cards any safer than they were before. People can still skim info and the privacy issues have never been addressed. We should have as many ways as possible to pay for… Continue

Almost everyone, with exceptions, that I've encountered on 12.160Mhz has expressed at some point in time fear of Socialism, Marxism, Communism and of course the form of Extreme Capitalism, my own term, that we are experiencing here in the US today.
Socialism, Communism, Marxism and pure Capitalism aren't to be feared.
All forms of government in their purest manifestations have positive aspects that were designed to benefit humanity. They have negative aspects too. It's up… Continue

On November 9th, 18 YAL chapters participated in a national day of activism to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Across the country students asked, "Are we rebuilding the wall... In America?" and protested our country's steady slide towards statism.
Thanks to the generous support from over 60 contributors, YAL chapters received $100 activism grants to build a wall on their campus.
As a result, this event earned more media coverage than any… Continue

I have been meaning to post this interview, and a quick search on the internet shows that it has already made the rounds. The following blurb is from Association For Climate Technology Solutions.

Although the text below will be presented at a Russian forum in Moscow next month I wish we had groups here in the states that had the same forethought and concern for humanity that these people obviously have. Sadly, we don't. What we do have here in the US is Extreme Capitalism and it's slowly gobbling up the globe, and you and I with it.
The following text isn't always easy to read. Even for myself, a well educated American, it sometimes required a second read. I think once having… Continue

...this is ridiculous-- and it just happened a few days ago....
So why should we even do what they say-- other than the fact that they have a loaded gun AND the "power of the pen" to legally sign a document saying that something happened as they say it did AND "make it stick" in court?
Example: If you are alone, a cop can illegally shoot you dead then sign an affidavit saying that you physically threatened him and unless there were witnesses to defend a story anything… Continue

Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.
- George Washington
The re-declaration of a national State of Emergency by President Obama on September 10, 2009 is not theoretical; it affects our civil liberties and our ability to live in a free and open society. Not one major media outlet covered the fact… Continue
