There is no one more qualified than Reg Keys -- whose son Tom was killed in Iraq -- to comment on Tony Blair's admission to the BBC that, if he hadn't used the non-existent weapons of mass destruction to justify a war crime, he would have found another "argument" -- that is, another lie.
When the totality of our societies ills are viewed together, as they are here, the picture becomes quite clear. A happy America? A content society?
Anything but. When everything below is considered we are living lives of what's termed 'quiet desperation,' almost all of us. We don't even recognize, even those of us that are active here on 12.160Mhz, that we have learned helplessness. We just can't see it. And when it's so obviously pointed out, we refuse to believe… Continue

"It has now become a serious nescessity to better the breed of the human race. The average citizen is too base for the everyday work of modern civilization." --Sir Francis Galton
One of my major lines of research has been the scientific control and manipulation of human beings, and the Eugenics movement is one of the most perfect examples I've found. The overlap between good intentions and nightmare consequences is highly instructive.… Continue

“Boycotts: How to regain public control the United States of America”
When I joined the fray of political interest one of the things I soon decided to work for was “To bring an end to professional politics”. I’ve added to my personal cause, “Ending the monetary system”. They go hand in hand. They’re all but synonymous. At least symbiotic, as one created, supports and effects the other.
In our current monetary system someone will always hire political candidates. We only see…
In 2008, the Supreme Court of the United States decided Kennedy v. Louisiana. In that decision, the Court created a new categorical right to rape a child without receiving the death penalty.
Although the majority made mention of the Eighth Amendment's prohibition of "cruel and unusual punishment," no one really believed that this new right had any basis in the Constitution. The Court majority claimed that its decision reflected a new societal consensus, despite the fact that six… Continue
Militants in Iraq have used $26 off-the-shelf software to intercept live video feeds from U.S. Predator drones, potentially providing them with information they need to evade or monitor U.S. military operations.
Yeah, we're cool...

It's strange to see President Obama accepting a Peace Prize as he escalates a war.
As a Holocaust survivor whose parents perished at Auschwitz in 1942, I know all too well what war looks like. I also know what peace looks like and I can tell you this: Sending 30,000 more U.S. troops to fight in one of the poorest countries in the world, Afghanistan, is not making peace.
As President Obama accepts a Peace Prize he does not deserve, it's a good time to model what real… Continue
(NaturalNews) Scientists from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston have revealed results from a study outlining some of the effects of artificial sweeteners on the body. Conducted on a group of 3,000 women, the results indicated that those who drank two or more artificially-sweetened beverages a day doubled their risk of more-rapid-than-normal kidney function decline.
The study accounted for various other risk factors including the woman's age, her blood pressure, if she smoked,… Continue
