Reality 21st century style
Submitted by Fiddlestick on Sun, 2008-12-21 00:47.There are some substantial differences between our society in the early 21st Century, and America in the 1930s. With these differences, our society is now much more fragile and vulnerable to collapse. Here are a few that come immediately to mind:
Consider the Attributes of America in the 1930s :
A largely agrarian and self-sufficient society. (Now, just 1% of the population operating farms and ranches feed the other 99%.)
Not heavily dependent on computing and communications, technology, grid power, and petroleum-based fuels.
Shorter chains of supply. Most food was grown within 100 miles of where people lived.
A very small underclass that was dependent on charity or public welfare.
Lower property tax rates and lower (or nonexistent) license fees, vehicle registration fees, et cetera.
The majority of workers lived near their work.
Most displaced workers were willing to accept lower-paying jobs--even doing hard physical labor.
Olmert wins US backing for Iran war
Submitted by jlennon08 on Wed, 2008-11-26 01:01.By PRESS TV
" Israel's prime minister says Washington has not rejected a request by Tel Aviv to take any action it deems "necessary" against Iran.
Ehud Olmert, the outgoing premier, said Tuesday that he had extensively discussed Iran and its nuclear program with "Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and the (US) president".
"There is a basic, deep understanding about the Iranian threat and the need to act in order"

US protestors: End the Federal Reserve (VIDEO)
Submitted by jlennon08 on Sun, 2008-11-23 15:26.People are showing their anger against the “Federal Reserve" Bankers who have been sucking OUR MONEY since the 1913.
If you don't believe me just, take a look at your OWN payroll check: That so called "Federal Income Tax" is exclusively for those Private Bankers (Rockefeller, JP Morgan Etc) for just PRINTING the paper called Money.
The money for Public Services like roads, schools etc is waged from other local and federal taxes.
Why the Government doesn't print OUR OWN Money?

The Arrest of George W. Bush and Richard Cheney
Submitted by Fitzlight61 on Mon, 2008-11-17 23:07.Many people will make a lot of money writing books and making appearances concerning the arrest of Bush and Cheney, but in fact nothing will ever be doing to either of them for the crimes they have committed and they shall walk free. You see Bush and Cheney are well protected and no one dares to attempt to do anything against them. You will find no DA that will charge them with any crime nor will you find a judge who will set as the judge. Now if Bush and Cheney were not rich and was working class people then they would have already been arrested tried and convicted, but we the American people are letting the world no that here in the United States we hold and acknowledge that men like Bush and Cheney are above the laws of this country and all the laws of other countries as well. Believe me when I tell that Bush could have shot someone in cold blood with all America as witness and he still would have walked away free of that there is no doubt.

Keep Pressure up to Arrest Bush
Submitted by Fitzlight61 on Fri, 2008-11-07 17:46.Even though the election is over we the American people need to continue to demand the arrest of Bush and Cheney for all crimes committed while they occupied the offices of President and Vice President. We can not afford to let these two men to walk away free. We must insure that the rule of law applies to them and to insure that the world will see that it is true that in this country no one is above the law. If we do allow them to remain free then we will have allowed the opening of a panda's box that we will sorely regret.
I am hopping and praying that Bush and Cheney will be arrested, charged and tried for their crimes. They are evil men who deserve to be made to pay for their crimes. So please do not allow the pressure to lessen on the government or anyone else who has the power to insure that these men are brought to justice.

A People's Constitutional Convention
Submitted by Paul Fisher on Wed, 2008-10-01 15:50.From previously written material that needs repeating-
The idea of a People's Constitutional Convention is not new. Over the years, many individuals and organizations have advocated such an event for a variety of causes. The original Constitutional Convention convened on and off in various locations, from May 25th, 1787 to September 17th, 1787 when the Constitution was signed and sent to the states for ratification.
But regardless of the participation or intention of the fifty-five aristocrats in the formation of that document, the document in question, the American Constitution, still belongs to the people. This has forever been written as being fact in our original founding document, that being the Declaration of Independence. Take a moment to re-read the opening of that document at http://www.wtpnet.org/documents/decl_of_ind_passed.html
Regardless of what the courts or Congress have said about the Rights of the People, or the extent of the people's authority over government, this document is clear.
It clearly indicates
"that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness: that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, & to institute new government, laying it's foundation on such principles, & organizing it's powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness."
And further on it reads
"it is their right, it is their duty to throw off such government, & to provide new guards for their future security."
Not much ambiguity here.
Military and the Economy
Submitted by David Model on Thu, 2008-08-14 13:34.Half of the American budget is devoted to defense spending and the economy would be in a real quandary without it. American political leaders would have to decide how to spend all the money freed up and since they believe in minimal government (except for defense, of course), they will face a real challenge. Possibly they could invest more in space travel to speed up our Mars program. Imagine the thrill of the average American, hungry or not, of witnessing such a stupendous technological accomplishment. If we are sufficiently fortuitous, we might encounter hostile aliens who would force us to spend more on defense again.
They could implement tax breaks for the rich but since they pay so little already, there would still be too much money remaining waiting to be spent. They could use the surplus after the tax breaks to further subsidize large corporations but then we might end up paying all their costs which sort of makes it a government program. Yikes
One of the Most Violent Acts in History
Submitted by David Model on Tue, 2008-08-12 14:13.Instant Genocide: Hiroshima and Nagasaki
As we commemorate the deaths of those who died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, feelings will cover the gamut of emotions from remorse to anger. I am horrified by the events of August 6, 1945 and August 9, 1945 for several reasons. All the people who died were innocent civilians who were not involved in the war. As well, Japan was already defeated and was desperately trying to surrender on any terms. Then there is the evil in humankind that can murder so many people just to demonstrate to your post-war enemy, as a form of blackmail, that you have a powerful new weapon. In addition, careful study of the facts reveals that the U.S. leadership was guilty of genocide for bombing these two cities.

Lies, Damned Lies, Iran
Submitted by David Model on Mon, 2008-07-07 16:26.Here we go again. It's Iraq all over again. The U.S. is ratcheting up the fear that Iran will soon pose a nuclear threat to the United States. Both the House and the Senate are in the process of passing resolutions that accuse Iran of destabilizing the Middle East, proceeding with the development of nuclear weapons and delivery systems, violating the NPT Treaty, and funding groups that are attacking U.S. troops who are supporting the legitimate government of Iraq.
These charges are straight from Alice in Wonderland when Alice remarked that "Nothing would be as it is because everything would be what it wasn't". Every charge levelled against Iran is either specious or is a mirror image of U.S. guilt.
For example, it's the U.S. who is the major violator of the NPT treaty and who is destabilizing the Middle East. American presence in Iraq has rendered it impossible to create a legitimate government there.

CANF and AIPAC are not banned from USA, becuz they are rightwing terrorist organizations
Submitted by yankhadenuf on Mon, 2008-06-30 04:55."The Cuban-American National Foundation Is a Terrorist Organization
by Salim Lamrani
August 18, 2006
On July 22, 2006, the Cuban-American National Foundation (CANF) celebrated its 25th anniversary at the Hotel Biltmore in Coral Gables. However, the most powerful US-based extreme rightist Cuban organization, shaken by a new scandal, could not enjoy that party appropriately.
In fact, a month earlier, on June 22, 2006, Jose Antonio Llama, a former CANF director, revealed publicly what everyone knew for a long time: the CANF is a terrorist organization. Llama acknowledged that he, along with members of the organization´s hierarchy, had set up a paramilitary group to carry out attacks on Cuba and to assassinate its president, Fidel Castro [1].
