A Nation of Sheep

From the onset I've tried to convince people that we had lost some of our most important rights as citizens the day the Patriot Act was signed into law, and we furthermore told the Administration that we would lie down in submission when there was no uproar to hinder it's resigning years later. People I talk to respond that it's good for the country, that it aids the government in defending us against 'terrorism'. I try to dissuade them of this and convince them that whether or not it helps the government track down and catch 'terrorists' before they have the chance to act, it is still in violation of the constitution. The Constitution is the very thing that made us great, a nation above all other nations, a nation of free people. In it it states that Congress shall pass no law that violates the rights given to us in that sacred document, and for over a hundred years no Congress has dared violate that rule. Until Now.

Maybe Judge Andrew Napolitano says it better than I can, giving a summary of his new book 'A Nation of Sheep' in a segment which surprisingly aired on the Fox News Network. Watch for yourself.

American's are 'Comical'

Here's a clip from CNN where they discuss a clip of Pres. Bush responding to questions on the latest summit he attended with the heads of state for Canada and Mexico. The question was put forth about the possibility of the meeting really being about the formation of a North American Union, a possibility that the President simply brushed off as 'comical'.



The thing that sickens me a little more than the President's remarks is the sad excuse for reporting by the journalists of CNN, if they can even call themselves journalists anymore. One of CNN's White House Correspondents, Suzanne Malveaux joined in calling the talk of a North American Union simply 'Conspiracy Theory in the Blogosphere'. She goes on to try and discredit the idea that a superhighway is being planned to run from the Mexican border to the Canada border. Don't think it's real? Tell that to the farmers and land owners in southern and western Texas who are on the verge of losing their property in the name of Imminent Domain. Malveaux even mentions the Canadian Prime Minister's comment on standardizing the jellybean (the reason we were given for the heads of states' latest summit meeting) as a viable and believable story. When she can explain to me how with all of our wonderful bureaucracy and useless 'departments', we don't have someone that is capable of standardizing the manufacture of the jellybean, and that it is a job left only to the President, maybe then I will give a little credit to any reporting done by CNN.

...just what the problem with this country is, check out this article from motherjones.com:

IN 1985, THE FORBES 400 were worth $221 billion combined. Today, they’re worth $1.13 trillion—more than the GDP of Canada.

THERE’VE BEEN FEW new additions to the Forbes 400. The median household income has also stagnated—at around $44,000.

AMONG THE FORBES 400 who gave to a 2004 presidential campaign, 72% gave to Bush.

IN 2005, there were 9 million American millionaires, a 62% increase since 2002.

IN 2005, 25.7 million Americans received food stamps, a 49% increase since 2000.

ONLY ESTATES worth more than $1.5 million are taxed. That’s less than 1% of all estates. Still, repealing the estate tax will cost the government at least $55 billion a year.

ONLY 3% OF STUDENTS at the top 146 colleges come from families in the bottom income quartile; only 10% come from the bottom half.

BUSH’S TAX CUTS GIVE a 2-child family earning $1 million an extra $86,722—or Harvard tuition, room, board, and an iMac G5 for both kids.

A 2-CHILD family earning $50,000 gets $2,050—or 1/5 the cost of public college for one kid.

THIS YEAR, Donald Trump will earn $1.5 million an hour to speak at Learning Annex seminars.

ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION, the federal minimum wage has fallen 42% since its peak in 1968.

IF THE $5.15 HOURLY minimum wage had risen at the same rate as CEO compensation since 1990, it would now stand at $23.03.

A MINIMUM WAGE employee who works 40 hours a week for 51 weeks a year goes home with $10,506 before taxes.

TIGER MADE $87 million in 2005, all but $12 million from endorsements and appearance fees.

THE 5TH LEADING philanthropist last year was Boone Pickens, in part due to his $165 million gift to Oklahoma State University’s golf program.

WITHIN AN HOUR, OSU invested it in a hedge fund Pickens controls. Thanks to a Katrina relief provision, his “gift” was also 100% deductible.

LAST YEAR 250 COMPANIES gave top execs between $50,000 and $1 million worth of wholly personal flights on corporate jets.

THIS PERK is 66% more costly to companies whose CEO belongs to out-of-state golf clubs.

The Man Who Got Too Much Support

In the past we have seen some noteworthy Presidential candidates that turned out to be the dark horse in the end when they ran as independents and snagged just enough of the vote for the other guy to win. It was always clear who was going to stick around as the dark horse independent, but this time around it seems that the likely independent will more likely snag the Republican party nomination and be on the main ticket. At least, I certainly hope it turns out that way, because he's already got my vote.

Who am I speaking of? The congressman from Texas. The only candidate that mentions the constitution as part of how he will change the direction of our nation. The only candidate that has the guts to point out the real reason for September 11th and not hide behind the statement "The terrorists hate our freedom, war good, mmkay" as Giuliani does. That clown actually asked him to retract his statement at the debate in order to make himself look tough on terrorism. The only candidate still gaining in campaign contributions, and not only that, but all of his campaign funds are coming in small donations from regular hard working people, not large lump sums from corporations. Heck, he's already raised nearly another million in October alone, and we're no even halfway through the month. I am talking about Ron Paul.

Recently CNBC pulled the post-debate poll off of their website because Ron Paul was at around 75% of the vote, which obviously can't be accurate. They accused Paul's campaign workers and supporters of flooding the poll and 'hacking' the results. Even if that were true, it's amazing that the media reacts to normal people doing it, but not major corporations rigging presidential elections. They claimed that since his support in the online poll didn't match other polls conducted over the phone, it couldn't be trusted. How many of you have ever actually been polled over the phone? I know I haven't. I've had friends that worked for a polling company that sat around all day calling and polling people, and they say the only people they talked to were old retired people, because they're the only ones sitting around at home in the afternoon with a LAND LINE. Besides, in a telephone poll the polling company can pick who they call (even though they say it's random, how am I supposed to believe that on their word alone?). Whereas an online poll is open to everyone that wants to voice they're opinion. It's just too bad that when they voice an opinion the company doesn't like, they are forced to take down the poll and resort to slandering the candidate.

Out of Thirty-Five Straw Polls conducted at debates and other live functions, Ron Paul has placed first in Sixteen of them, and second in Six more. He dominates the online polls, and the youtube page dedicated to his videos receive over 4.5 million views from more than Thirty-Two thousand subscribers since March of this year. All I had to do to find that youtube page was type in 'Ron Paul' in the search and it was the first or second result.

I did the same search with Rudy's name and pulled up more videos slamming him and calling him on all of his crap without a loyal page in sight.

Hillary Clinton's channel was pretty low in the search as well underneath videos that were not in her favor. Even then her channel has struggled to get close to a million views since July of -2006-! It's been up nearly a year longer and still doesn't have a fourth of the viewings Paul's channel has garnered in little over six months.

Mitt Romeny's channel has been up since January of this year, two months longer than Paul's, and he has less views than Hillary at just under 800,000.

John McCain's channel has been up only a month longer than Paul's, yet he's only sitting at just under 500k views, not too mention a couple of not-so-nice videos before finding his channel in the search.

Fred Thompson only recently threw his hat into the ring, and his youtube channel has only been up since May of this year, so I guess it isn't too surprising only 57k people wanted to see one of his videos.

The only other Presidential candidate running to get onto the ticket for their party that has more views than Ron Paul is Barack Obama. His channel has been up since September of last year, and he sits at around 11 million views, but only has a third the number of subscribers as Paul.

After looking through three to four pages of search results on youtube I could not find one video that tried to shed a negative light on Ron Paul. Each of the other candidates, asides from perhaps Obama, had a handful on every page of search results. Why is this? Is it because there is no dirt on the congressman from Texas?

Check out this clip for yourself and get an idea of why Ron Paul is garnering so much support on the internet despite being purposefully ignored by the mass media.


And here's another video giving some more background on Ron Paul. Watch both of these and educate yourself, then go vote in the primary, then vote in the presidential election.


It is only going to be because of people like you, people that turn to the internet rather than just the mass media for their source of information, that will change history come the next Presidential Election. When Ron Paul wins the presidency it will show the corporate world they can no longer control the population through the spin of the mass media. The truth is out there, and because of the internet we can find it for ourselves after we deny the lies they feed us. It should say a good deal that of all the candidates, Ron Paul is likely the only one that has voted against attempting to regulate the internet.

You vote. You decide.

New Iraq Gov't Growing Cojones

The BBC recently reported that the Iraqi Interior Ministry had recently banned the private security firm known as Blackwater from the country after an incident with some of their personnel left eight or more innocent Iraqi civilians dead. Furthermore, the Iraqi government went on to say that they would be pursuing prosecution of the contractors involved in the incident. What's that? They're going to hold these private contractors accountable for their actions because they're tired of them running around doing whatever they want in their country? Is it because the State Department turns a blind eye to private contractors and doesn't hold them or their parent companies responsible for their actions? Shocking!

Of course, in true cover-your-own-ass fashion, a spokesman for Condi told the press that she wanted to

"ensure that everything was being done to avoid the loss of innocent life and to make sure this kind of incident never happened again.

She is also expected to telephone Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki to reassure him that the US had launched its own investigation."

I've been telling people for a long time now that one of the reason's we're doing so badly in Iraq is because of these private contractors that are allowed to run free in the country and do things they're own way, often well outside the lines of the Geneva convention that the rest of the troops are required to adhere to. Perhaps thats why they are paid such ridiculous salaries and aren't held accountable, so that they can kill and torture those civilians that the US Military can't.

For a better look at the folly that are the private contractors in Iraq, check out a documentary called 'Iraq for Sale'. It's rather eye opening to say the least.

The Thirty Day Plan

The following is an article written by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr. and was published in the March 1991 edition of 'The Free Market'. It may have been published and written sixteen years ago, but I think at by this time we're coming to the tipping point and this plan would go a long way to fixing a lot of the problems that plague this country.

Rockwell's Thirty-Day Plan

by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

When Eastern Europe broke free in 1989, we all realized just how little thought had been given to the transition from socialism to capitalism. Mises had told us the collapse was coming, and we should have been prepared.

As America comes to resemble a command economy, we need a transition plan here too. Yuri Maltsev proposed a "One-Year Plan" for the U.S.S.R. We're not in that bad a shape (yet), so we could do it in 30 days.

DAY ONE: The federal income tax is abolished and April 15th is declared a national holiday. The 40% reduction in federal revenues is matched by a 40% cut in spending. The budget is still almost twice as big as Jimmy Carter's.

DAY TWO: All other federal taxes are abolished, including the corporate income tax, the capital gains tax, the gasoline tax, "sin" taxes, excise taxes, etc. Businesses boom, and the few legitimate federal functions are funded with an inexpensive head tax. People who choose not to vote need not pay it. (Note: this was a mainstream view in the 19th century.)

DAY THREE: The federal government sells all its land, freeing up tens of millions of acres for development, mining, farming, forestry, oil drilling, private parks, etc. The government uses the revenue to pay off the national debt and other liabilities.

DAY FOUR: The minimum wage is reduced to zero, creating jobs for ex-federal bureaucrats at their market wage. All pro-union laws and regulations are scrapped. The jobless rate falls dramatically.

DAY FIVE: The Bureau of Labor Statistics, like the rest of the Labor Department, is sent to that big hiring hall in the sky. Without detailed economic statistics, future economic planners will be blind and deaf.

DAY SIX: The Department of Commerce is abolished. Big business has to make its own way in the world, without subsidies and privileges at the expense of its competitors and customers.

DAY SEVEN: The plug is pulled on the Department of Energy. Oil and gas prices plummet.

DAY EIGHT: All regulatory agencies, from the Interstate Commerce Commission to the Federal Trade Commission, are deep-sixed. Competition is legalized.

DAY NINE: HUD is squashed like a bug. There's a building boom in cheap, private, apartments.

DAY TEN: The interstate highways reopen as private businesses. Road entrepreneurs price travel according to consumer demand. Using modern technology, drivers get bills once a month. Credit risks – and drunks and dangerous drivers – aren't allowed on the road. Non-drivers no longer subsidize car owners.

DAY ELEVEN: Government welfare is wiped out. Bums work or starve. The deserving poor find a cornucopia of private services designed to make them independent. Private charity explodes, as the American people, already the most generous in the world, find their incomes almost doubled, thanks to the tax cuts.

DAY TWELVE: The Federal Reserve closes its open-market operations and stops protecting the banking industry from competition. But banks can now engage in all the non-bank financial activities previously forbidden to them. The business cycle, which is caused by monetary expansion through the credit markets, is liquidated.

DAY THIRTEEN: Federal deposit insurance is scrapped. All insured deposits are redeemed from federal assets, which include the personal assets of high-level government employees. The threat of bank runs forces banks to keep 100% reserves for their demand deposits, and prudent reserves on all other accounts. There are no more inherently bankrupt banks propped up by the government, at taxpayer expense, and no more bail-outs.

DAY FOURTEEN: The shaky fiat dollar is defined in terms of gold, with the ratio determined by dividing the government's gold stock by all existing dollars on that day.

DAY FIFTEEN: The federal government sells National and Dulles airports to the highest bidder, and stops all subsidies to other socialist airports around the country. All constraints on airline prices and service cease. It costs more to fly during peak hours than off-peak, but overall, air travel drops in price.

DAY SIXTEEN: All government regulations that create and sustain cartels are abolished, including those for the post office, telephones, television, radio, and cable TV. Prices plummet, and a host of new and unforeseen services becomes available.

DAY SEVENTEEN: Centrally planned agriculture, as imposed by Hoover and Roosevelt, is repealed: there are no more subsidies, payments-in-kind, marketing orders, low-interest loans, etc. Farm prices drop. Entrepreneurial farmers get rich. Welfare farmers go into another line of work. The poor eat like kings.

DAY EIGHTEEN: The Justice Department shutters its anti-trust division. Companies, big and small, are free to merge – up, down, or sideways. Stockholders can buy any other company, or sell their stock to anyone else. Marginal producers can no longer battle their competitors with bureaucratic weapons.

DAY NINETEEN: The Department of Education flunks the constitutionality test, and is kicked out. Private charities set up remedial reading and writing programs for the former bureaucrats. Federally subsidized sex education and other anti-family programs go out of business. Local school districts become responsive to parents or close, pressured by a fast-growing private school sector (which many more parents can now afford).

DAY TWENTY: All federal monuments are sold, in some cases to non-profit groups based on the Mt. Vernon Ladies Association, which owns and runs George Washington's home. The VFW buys the Vietnam memorial. There is much bidding for the Jefferson and Washington monuments. Nobody wants FDR's, so it's torn down and the land sold to a farmer. (With the federal government cut back to its constitutional size, much of Washington reverts to productive uses like agriculture, as in late 18th century.)

DAY TWENTY-ONE: The computerized financial and political dossier maintained by the government on every American is erased. The public wanders through the federal offices to make sure, in a reprise of the East Berliners' visits to Stasi headquarters.

DAY TWENTY-TWO: Equal rights are granted to all Americans, even members of non-victim groups. There is no affirmative action, no quotas, no set-asides, no public accommodations laws. Private property and freedom of association are fully restored.

DAY TWENTY-THREE: The EPA is cleaned out, with all "clean air" and similar big-government laws repealed. Ten thousand lawyers leap from their balconies. Private property is established in air and water. Americans harmed by pollution are free to sue the polluters, who are no longer protected by the federal government.

DAY TWENTY-FOUR: Americans are given complete freedom of contract, restoring rationality to malpractice and product liability law.

DAY TWENTY-FIVE: Government scrambles for more assets to sell (i.e., the National Zoo, also known as Washington, D.C.) to pay off the liabilities of the privatized Social Security system.

DAY TWENTY-SIX: Porno artists have to earn their own livings, as the National Endowment for the Arts tries to raise its budget through sidewalk painting sales.

DAY TWENTY-SEVEN: Foreign aid is outlawed as unconstitutional, unjust, and un-economic. Foreign politicians have to steal their own money. The World Bank, IMF, and United Nations close their super-luxurious doors.

DAY TWENTY-EIGHT: The American people are given the unrestricted right to keep and bear arms.

DAY TWENTY-NINE: The Defense Department is reoriented towards defense. American troops come home from all around the world. We adopt a policy of armed neutrality, remembering the Founding Fathers' teaching that we could not have an empire abroad and a constitutional republic at home.

DAY THIRTY: All tariffs, quotas, and trade agreements are put through the shredder. Americans can trade with anyone in the world, without barriers or subsidies. Japanese car prices drop an immediate 25%.

In just 30 exhilarating days, we have established the outlines of free market. Radical? Maybe so. Me, I can't wait until Month Two.

A Small Aside on the Ten Commandments

An Excerpt from Everything You Know About God Is Wrong: The Disinformation Guide to Religion

In his article, Eckstein brilliantly dissects the claim that the justice system is based on a short list of rules for late-Bronze-Age Israelites (i.e., the Ten Commandments). Here's a small taste:

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

The first problem is the version to be displayed. My own discussion will be largely based on the traditional King James Version. But there are currently well over a dozen other Protestant translations on the mass market, as well as several Catholic, Orthodox, and Jewish translations. Should a state legislature choose one translation favored by just one segment of the Judeo-Christian tradition while excluding those favored by all the others?

Most public displays - including Justice Moore's version - are not the full Ten Commandments. They are abridgments of the originals - Reader's Digest versions - that exclude many of the thornier passages. The King James Version contains 334 words, but Moore has taken it upon himself to whittle them down to a mere 75.

The First Commandment begins, "I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt." An increasing number of Americans are Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Shintoists, Taoists, Confucians, adherents of Native American religions, animists, agnostics, and atheists - few of whom claim descent from the Israelite tribes who fled Egypt. Should a state government be in the business of declaring to all its citizens that they shall "have no other gods" above the God of the Israelites?

The Second Commandment forbids making any "graven," or carved, image - and bowing down to one. This warning also ignores the wide range of religious practice. Some Hindus bow before graven images of their gods, and some Catholics genuflect before graven images of their saints. The Vatican is filled with graven images of Christ, saints, and popes. Nor are most state governments innocent of this practice. In Michigan the capitol lawn holds at least six graven images - a stone eagle atop a war memorial, two stags on the state seal, a wolverine on an historical marker, two soldiers, and an imposing statue of the state's Civil War governor. Should these statues display a warning from the legislature that God forbids the making of graven images?

The Second Commandment also threatens to visit "the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation." Should a child visiting the capitol start to worry that she may be punished because decades ago a great grandfather she never knew may have hit his thumb with a hammer and impulsively used the name of the Lord in vain? Does any American law seek to punish children, let alone grandchildren and great-grandchildren, for the transgressions of their fathers?

If the founders used the Ten Commandments in drafting the federal Constitution, they did a masterful job of disguising that fact. Not one key word from the Commandments appears in the text. The only allusion to them is to the Second Commandment, and it is a decidedly negative one - an absolute rejection of "Corruption of Blood," the philosophy of punishing children for the crimes of their parents. Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes wrote, "It is the essence of the institutions of liberty that it be recognized that guilt is personal." Isn't such recognition a sounder foundation for our laws than the intergenerational vengeance propounded by the Second Commandment?

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

So none of these seven Commandments can be seen in any way as part of the "bedrock" of law today. Only three enjoin behavior for which most states currently punish people: the Sixth forbids killing, the Eighth forbids stealing, and the Ninth forbids bearing false witness. But these have been criminal offenses in many societies the world over that were quite innocent of the Ten Commandments. They were part of criminal law in ancient Babylon and Egypt centuries before the time of Moses. The Romans included them as early as the fifth century B.C.E., when they were still worshipping a whole stable of morally flawed gods, led by the lecherous Jupiter. Many indigenous peoples of North America, Africa, and the South Pacific islands had comparable taboos.

[NOTE: Eckstein's many footnotes/references are available in the printed version.]

A Look At The Candidates

So, who's your pick for Presidential Candidate for the next election? Do you even know who is running? Do you know anything about them? Do you even know there's a presidential election this year?

Anyways, on to the candidates.

Rudy Giuliani


Yeah, I lost track of how many times he's been married also (not too mention once to his cousin). Then there's the fact he's a crossdresser, that doesn't help much. What I can't understand is why the religious right is supporting Giuliani so much, when the man is Pro-Abortion, Pro-Gay Marriage, Anti-Gun rights, and pretty much everything the religious right is against. Oh, but he will continue the 'War On Terror!!!'. One other thing before we move on, Giuliani's law firm is currentyl representing the Spanish company that will own and profit from the CanaMex Super highway the globalists want to build from Mexico to Canada as part of their move for a North American Union. That's right, he's fighting hard for our right to pay a foreign company to drive on the highway in our own country. Let's not forget how Rudy has been so successful in profiting off 9/11 by traveling around talking about it. Way to go Rudy!


John McCain

You know, I used to like McCain, cause he seemed like the one Republican that didn't stick to ridiculous legislation simply because that's what the party wants. But at this point, the guy is a better flip-flop than my shoes.


Mitt Romney

Check out this short video clip on Romeny's issues with Civil Liberties, because after all, he's the Republican Champion of Civil Liberties.



Wait...hold on a second...double Guantanamo? Planting bugs in churches and mosques? This guy should be the posterchild for BIG BROTHER, not civil liberties.

Fred Thompson

My liking of Fred Thompson ceases when I tell TiVo to delete the episode of Law and Order I just got done watching. Fred just recently announced he was going to be joining the race for President in '08, so let's take another look at good 'ole Fred:

In this video we see Fred being confronted in an Airport in Houston before he announced he'd be running for President. The woman asks Fred about his role as part of the Council on Foreign Relations and confronts him about the plans in progress for the forming of the North American Union. He does a decent job of spinning his involvement and outright denies knowing anything about it, though he does admit to being a member of conservative think-tanks.


Here we see Fred's great service as Senator to the American people who needed him:


Hillary Clinton

Where do I start with good ole Hillary? How about a video. Admittedly, there is a plug for Obama at the end of the clip, so don't take this as a sign of my affiliation with any party.


When you get a chance, check out this website on evidence of Hillary's Globalist Agenda.

Interesting Fact: Bill Clinton is the grandson of Winthrop Rockefeller, thus through marriage Hillary is tied to the Rockefeller's. It is also worth mentioning that prior to Bill's election into office, he had attended his final meetings with the Bilderberg group.

When you have some time, about 45 minutes, go on over to google video and watch this video. I'm not trying to push conspiracy theory or anything, but it presents a number of good arguments and facts, so watch it with an open mind. And please excuse the repetitive matrix soundtrack in the background.

Pat Tillman: What Really Happened?

There have not many very many soldiers thus far that the Government has chosen to use for positive PR for the war on "terrorism". Personally, I think my girlfriend has more chance of success in the war on snoring than the 'war on terrorism', but that's just one guy's opinion.

Remember when Jessica Lynch got captured when her supply convoy was ambushed, then later she was 'rescued' by U.S. Forces? The story they told painted a picture of a convoy being ambushed, and a young private heroically refusing to give up as she continued to fight until she was captured after sustaining bullet and stab wounds. Later we find out that this was all a lie. The humvee she was riding in was struck with an RPG, and although some in the vehicle were killed on impact, one of the soldiers died later in the Iraqi hospital that Lynch was also taken to, as six others were killed in the firefight that ensued.

The Iraqi doctors did all they could to treat her wounds, even to the point of removing shrapnel and performing surgery on her leg. The nurses were kind to her, soothed her, and even attempted to return her to U.S. Forces at one point. Some time later U.S. Forces created diversions around the city as a team went into the hospital, and without firing any shots found her, got her onto a stretcher, and airlifted her out of the town and later out of the country.

Here's the video of Lynch testifying before the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, who are also looking into the Pat Tillman case:


Here's a video of Tillman's brother testifying before the same committee:

Who was Pat Tillman?

He maintained an almost perfect grade point average, graduated Arizona State University in just three and a half years and won the Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year honor in his senior year. He was a low draft pick into the NFL but quickly became a rising star. His rookie year for the Arizona Cardinals was sensational and it was no surprise to anybody following football that the then-mighty St. Louis Rams dangled a nine million dollar check at him. The shocker came when he turned the Rams' offer down out of loyalty to the Arizona Cardinals, something you rarely see anymore in professional sports.

Later, after 9/11, Tillman turned down the Cardinals' offer of 3.6 million for another year in order to enlist in the Army. From there he went on to join the ranks of the Army Rangers and headed off to Iraq to serve his country. He was, for a time, the pro-war poster child. To serve the idealogical needs of some, the patriotic image of Pat Tillman in his Army Ranger beret became the perfect recruitment tool and the new gold standard for the red-blooded, God-fearing American male.

Directly following his death, Tillman's family and the American public were told that he was killed by 'afghan rebels' on April 22, 2004. We don't yet know the reasoning behind the lies, but that's what was given to us when we wanted to know how he died. Maybe they were afraid that this coupled with the breaking news from Abu Gharib would severely cripple the support of the war. Later the Government changed their tune and said that he had been killed accidentally by 'friendly fire', but they still tried to shift the focus by playing up his bravery and sacrifice.

But wait! It gets better!


New evidence and testimony has come to light that paints a darker image than a mere 'friendly fire' accident. These new clues tell us that Pat Tillman may have actually been murdered by his fellow soldiers on purpose. The Associated Press reported:

"The medical evidence did not match up with the, with the scenario as described," a doctor who examined Tillman's body after he was killed on the battlefield in Afghanistan in 2004 told investigators.

The doctors - whose names were blacked out - said that the bullet holes were so close together that it appeared the Army Ranger was cut down by an M-16 fired from a mere 10 yards or so away.

And here's the latest according to the Associated Press:

(Instead of being in a Humvee in a valley firing up at Pat Tillman and his fellow soldiers on mountain, it turns out) the shooters were "close, close enough for me to recognize them, but they sure weren't 10 yards away. They were further than that. I've thought about this plenty of times. They wouldn't have been more than 50 yards away," said Spc. O'Neal who was closest to Tillman at the time of the shooting.

Another key issue raised in the transcripts involved never-before-mentioned snipers who were apparently there when the firing broke out, got out of their vehicle and walked alongside the convoy, cutting up the canyon firing.

O'Neal said Saturday that he knew there were snipers in the convoy that fired at them, but that he can't remember their names. Were they fired at by the snipers? "Not that I know of," O'Neal told the AP.

Will we ever really know what really happened to Pat Tillman, or why he was murdered by his fellow soldiers? Who knows...

The Government is Laughing in Your Face

A couple of things are going down right about now that people need to know about, but you won't hear on any mass media outlet.

The heads of state for Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. met a week or so ago in Canada to further discuss terms of their Security and Prosperity Partnership deal they are working on, otherwise known as the North American Union. They want to eliminate the borders and merge the three nations into a giant super state, with giant unsupervised highways running from border to border right through the middle of the U.S. Most people say "Thats ridiculous, they're not doing any of that", but fourteen states have now passed legislation opposing the super highways and the SPP. When asked about the recent meeting of the three heads of state in canada (which were met by large crowds of protesters and ended a few days early), each head of state came up with a different lie.

Canada's Prime Minister Harper said:

“The rules for jelly bean contents are different in Canada and the United States…. Is the sovereignty of Canada going to fall apart if we standardize the jelly bean? I don't think so.”

President Calderon of Mexico said the meeting was for “parameters for chocolates.”

Here's an excerpt from an article over at firesociety.com:

"Of course, President Bush took the opportunity to take pot shots at citizens like you and me who are questioning the SPP. He said he was “amused by some of the speculation” and dismissed it as “political scare tactics” centered on “conspiracy” theories. (Remember that the President used a similar approach in the amnesty debate, going to Mexico and chiding his fellow Americans for this lack of compassion toward Mexican "migrants")."- Steve Elliot

If that isn't bad enough, the recent deal that was made to allow mexican truckers to haul their loads into the U.S. instead of turning them over to American truckers at the border is going into effect and letting the trucks start to roll this weekend. That's right, the weekend we celebrate Labor Day, our right to work a decent job at a decent wage, they are going to allow mexican truckers to start usurping the backbone of our country: the trucking industry. On Labor Day itself no less. With the unemployment rate rising as the American Middle Class is fighting a losing battle against the rich upper class, the Government has the nerve to laugh in our face by mocking us on Labor Day with Government backed job outsourcing.

And if it weren't bad enough, it gets even better. These mexican truckers that are going to be coming into the states with their loads won't be required to take the Homeland Security class that was mandatory for all American truckers. Remember the two border agents that are in prison for doing their jobs a little too well? Well guess what, it turns out that in the trial we find out that the mexican drug smuggler they shot had a mexican commercial drivers license, and then he was caught a second time smuggling a truck full of dope across the border. But of course that's irrelevant to the case as it was dismissed and he was given a pass that lets him come and go as he pleases, courtesy of U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton (which by the way you can sign the petition to have him removed as U. S. Attorney for the Western District of TX here).

So what were they really doing at the SPP summit in Montebello, Quebec? Recently it was released that the "North American Plan for Avian & Pandemic Influenza" was finalized, not the regulation of the jelly bean and chocolates. Here's the opening paragraph of a long article over at WorldNetDaily detailing this plan:

"The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America summit in Canada released a plan that establishes U.N. law along with regulations by the World Trade Organization and World Health Organization as supreme over U.S. law during a pandemic and sets the stage for militarizing the management of continental health emergencies." - WorldNetDaily

Yes, you read that right, this "North American Plan for Avian & Pandemic Influenza" gives the U.N. and the World Trade Organization full legal power over our country, effectively pronouncing the Constitution null and void if they so chose. And if that doesn't tickle your goat, how about this:

"At the same time, the U.S. Northern Command, or NORTHCOM, has created a webpage dedicated to avian flu and has been running exercises in preparation for the possible use of U.S. military forces in a continental domestic emergency involving avian flu or pandemic influenza." - WorldNetDaily

Let's not also forget the recent executive directives Bush put out, effectively declaring himself supreme dictator in total control of the government in the event of a catastrophe, pandemic, etc. The guidelines put forth as to what qualifies for these conditions is left intentionally vague. I'm sure most of you are saying at this point "But how can he do these things without the approval of Congress and the Senate?". Well kids, that one's easy, he's doing it anyway, and not really telling the Congress anything about it.

Chew on that for a while.

Sweet Movie Trailer: I Am Legend

The New Will Smith movie has Smith playing Robert Neville, the last man alive. Based on the 1954 novel by Richard Matheson, Neville somehow survives a huge pandemic infection of a bacterium that seems to cause most of the well known symptoms of vampirism. Though it causes the infected to have an aversion to garlic, a craving for fresh blood, and seemingly invulnerable to bullets but not stakes or sunlight, they aren't quite your intelligent full fledged vampires from the cult classics. They're closer to the raging zombies of the 28 days/weeks later variety, only, y'know, vampires.



From what I've read, the book does a great job of painting a picture of anguish and despair as Neville works on boarding up and fortifying his home during the day, and hunting down the infected vampires by night. I don't care what anybody says about Will Smith, this movie looks like it's gonna be pure steak sauce: A-1 baby.


--------------------POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT------------------------









I don't know if this is the way they're going to take the movie, but in the book Neville is the only one immune to the virus, but eventually he discovers he's not the only one alive. Neville happens across another class of folks that while still infected manage to keep the disease at bay for parts of the day. But, like you do, Neville goes about killing these folks along with the rest of the infected. Then one day they capture him and reveal what they are to him, making him realize that he had become the monster that terrified the living.

The Puppet Master!

For awhile now I've been reviewing instructional dance videos online to find that new dance move that would set me apart from the rest the next time I got into a dance off at the discotheque. I do believe I have found such a move, and it is called the puppet master. Here's a video so you all can join in!

AvP: Part Deux

Check out the new unrated trailer for the next installment of Aliens Vs. Predator



Of course it looks cheesy as hell, in case you missed it, it's Aliens versus Predators. On the plus side, it looks like they realized they're mistake from the first movie: Not enough Alien on Predator action with helpless idiots in the middle that don't stand a chance.

It's official

We prize beauty over brains apparently. Personally, I give about as much attention to the Miss America/Teen/Universe/Trailer Park competitions as I do my car's inspection sticker, but with some of the answers these girls give in this competition it's pretty obvious they stopped training for the whole intelligence portion of the competition a decade or so ago.

This one takes the cake:


The fact that only one in five Americans can locate the country they live in on a map is sad enough, but having some bimbo on stage using terms like "The Iraq" and "U.S. American's" and blaming the problem on the possibility that some citizens just don't have maps, let alone comparing our education system to South Africa is pretty shameful if you ask me.

It's bad enough that we fall behind a number of other countries when it comes to innovation and scientific research, but we don't need a retard that has no place joining a discussion in a high school government class as a 'role model' for teens and kids. Our society no longer does a good job of promoting the sciences in order to get kids interested in becoming engineers and researchers. Our schools are still the best in the world as far as the science's go, but nowadays most of the graduates are here on education visa's and go right back to their country once they've gradated.

What do you think after you watch this video?

Documentary Spotlight: American Jobs

Ran across an interesting new documentary in my daily travels across the web today: American Jobs. It looks like the usual: guy gets camera, guy goes around the country getting personal stories from ordinary folks affected by the topic he plans to cover. Seen it a number of times in new documentaries that have been popping up the last few years, but overall it seems to be a pretty decent formula.

In the film American Jobs, the filmmaker goes around collecting the stories of folks that have had their jobs outsourced so the company could save money/make more money from cheaper labor. Anyone that has called customer/technical support in the last five years has no doubt already learned of this greedy business when you finally get someone on the line and neither of you knows what the heck the other is saying. One lady in the trailer of this film got a packet detailing the day she would be fired, the day or two after she was to train her Indian replacements. From what I can tell from the trailer, he talks to folks ranging from mill workers to Boeing technicians to systems analysts. I'll post a follow up to this in a week or two once the DVD comes in the mail and I get a chance to watch it, but off the cuff it looks good.

The Head of the Machinists union that Boeing laid off workers from says in the film:

Several years ago one of their leaders made the statement 'This is not a family operation, this is a team, and like any team we can replace the players'

How jacked is that? Check out the website for the film here. Check out the trailer and the extra clips.

What Justice System?

Apparently we don't have much of one anymore. I like to think that at least in Texas prosecutors wouldn't bend over backwards for celebrity's that break the law. Then again they probably don't have to worry about it much, all the celebrity's get arrested in California. Maybe the rich and famous are the only ones that really take the slogan "Don't Mess With Texas" seriously.

The District Attorney in California where sweet little Lindsay Lohan decided to commit multiple felonies finally filed their case against her, only instead of the felonies she should be charged with, they're giving her a slap on the wrist with seven misdemeanors instead. It gets better once you read the DA's explanation:

As to why no felony charges were filed, the DA says Lohan's cocaine traces "were below the .05 grams required by office policy for felony filing." Sources tell us there were also problems even proving she was in possession of the drug. As for the second case, a law enforcement source tells us the manner in which the cocaine was seized was questionable. In addition, the source says the amount of cocaine "didn't meet the threshold for filing." But there's more to the story: In deciding whether to file felony cocaine charges, the D.A. always looks at the person and the circumstances. In Lohan's case, the fact that she was busted twice in a short period of time actually helped her. It shows someone is struggling with an addiction problem. The fact that each time she was busted, she immediately checked into a rehab facility also helped her case. Also, her age -- 21 -- and the fact that her upbringing was extremely unstable -- also worked in her favor."

Can anyone else tell me what is extremely wrong with his entire statement? Last time I checked, when Joe Smoker gets pulled over on COPS and they find a few marijuana seeds in his car, he's going to the slammer, all cause of a busted tail light. Yet dear Lindsay gets into a wreck while under the influence of COCAINE and probably a good deal of booze, then leaves the scene of the accident with her coke still out in plain sight in the car, they simply shake their authoritative finger at her. If Joe Smoker got busted twice in a short period of time, he probably won't get bail the second time around, but in Lohan's case it's a good thing. What about all the crackheads and meth addicts out on the streets begging for change or stealing stuff? I'd say that shows someone struggling with an addiction problem alright. I doubt their upbringings were very stable either, a lot less than poor little Lohan.

On top of that, is it just me or does it seem like these young female celerity's are battling to see who can gain the reputation of raging lunatic quickest? From stealing a car to chase your assistant that just quit to yelling at nannies that are raising your kids for you, they sure did come out of the gates running.

I find it real difficult to accept that we live in a country that will quickly cater to the needs of an illegal drug smuggler in order to imprison two border agents that were doing their job a little too well, but when they catch a celebrity red handed on multiple felonies, they get maybe a few days in the pokey maximum. Sad state of things folks.

Political Chewtoys

The White house's Press Secretary, Ari Fleischer, has began leading a white house front group in order to defend Bush's escalation of the war. The group has recently spent millions (probably our tax dollars) to air this tv ad for their cause:



Then when old Ari was on MSNBC's show Hardball and the host of the show asked the simple question "What was the soldiers name in your pro-war ad?" all he could reply was "Well, I don't have his name in front of me right now..."

Can anyone tell me how utterly pathetic that is? If you're going to use a veteran who has lost both of his legs in a thus far fruitless war, have the common courtesy to know the guy's name. What a slap in the face to all veterans that have served in this 'war on terror', that the administration has no problem using you to promote their agenda when they screw up and look bad, but they don't care to remember what your name is.
