"Just so we're clear--the day has arrived. You know,the day. The day you woke up and realized you were living in a military dictatorship. The day you realized everything HAD gone to hell in a handbasket. The day when everything ALREADY WAS past the point of any understanding. It passed like any other day, without anyone noticing. It could have been six months ago, heck, it could have been six years ago. But the day has passed. We ARE under martial law, we ARE being watched and we ARE being led astray. Yep, It's as bad as we feared."

I've been a fan of BGRS for years now - which means there's a lot of good reading in backfiles - but noticed OOIBC participating in the lists of Real Liberal Christian Church.
Now, local sentiment was vociferous about the head-banging illogic of religion, so that was a fascinating development. It goes to show smart people can realize they are saying the same thing in diametrically opposed fashion. Oh.

Rocket Racing LeagueHow new energy order will dramatically change our daily lives
Report from Iran : Should we really bomb these people ?
Immoral : Ignoring the routine killing of civilians in terror wars
( Indulging in an act with the predictable result of ongoing atrocity : Genocide on the installment plan , with lots of opportunity for lovely graft. Do you agree that's not a bug, but a feature ?
I repeatedly refer in online comments to a "Cheney" YouTube clip from 1994, where he explains the consquences of invading Iraq : and why Bush Sr. DID NOT DO IT in Gulf War I.
There was even at one point a lot of bitterness about the USA sending "mixed signals" in Iraq, which led to a failed plot against Saddam Hussein. He was allowed to suppress it.
I didn't think the 9/11 'false flag' scenario would ever be accepted by people going in the door : not for me, nor most else either.
You don't need to. The plan which I think tracks most closely the actual "trajectory of events". Post-Saddam Iraq, also known as "Desert Crossing", has been sitting at the top of "Documents"..
TomDispatch has had many articles expanding on this scenario. )
The case for more female leaders
( I thought this myself as a boy huddled under a desk for the "Emergency Measures" drills where we learned the proper procedure to "Kiss Your Ass Goodbye" re: nuclear attack. Remember "Bomb Shelters" ? I was around for the Cuban Missile Crisis. The GWOT impresses as much as a wet match.
Russia has stated an attack on Iran would be considered the same as an attack on Russia.
You remember Russia. That's the place that has lots of Multiple Independently Targeted Reentry Vehicles mounted on lots of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles : not just an alleged potential to develop nuclear arms counterbalanced by a following of agreements which exceeded requirements.
Russia is also the joint that had an agreement in place with the USA to limit arms. These days Washington is pushing for missiles in Eastern Europe against agreements.
The Cuban Missile Crisis? Pushback for US ICBMs in Turkey.

Iraqi lawmaker to U.S. : Back off or all options are open
( Airstrikes in Baghdad and civilian casualties : Iraqis resisting the Occupation - everybody who couldn't get a job with the Americans; nope, them too - hemmed in by walls so it's a turkey shoot. [You know how "The Shooter" "hunts" penned "game", right ?] 400 dead, 1300 injured - so far : no hospitals, water, power, fuel. No wonder prisoners see no point in leaving jail. "Fighting Terrorism". You Jokers, you.)
Mass Arrest claims by Zimbabwe opposition
The Paranoid Style in American Politics
"Emboldens me to make the conjecture"
"Having no access to political bargaining or the making of decisions, they find their original conception that the world of power is sinister and malicious fully confirmed."
"Certain religious traditions, certain social structure and national heritages, certain historical catastrophes or frustrations may be conducive to to the release of such psychic energies,and to situations in which they can be more readily be built into mass movements or political parties."
Captain's Quarters
Note how "The Left" [ 80% of the population ] is tagged as anti-American, anti-Semitic ; a constant "framing the debate" and usurping of "discussion" to demonize, vilify, discredit and suppress the tradition most necessary to open government : respectful consideration of all sides of an argument. The rhetoric used in the anti-Goldwater/anti-Communist/anti-Labor/anti-whoever invariably categorizes dissent as disloyalty.
Psychic Energy is also an interesting occult term ; though power is innocuous in itself. So is fire.
America likes to think of itself as a 'melting pot'.
"MindPress" stamping out unthinking ignorant automatons fueled/ruled by fear would do as well. Then again, bullies usually are cowards. AWOL is typical of his kind, a reliable fraction of humanity.
That should explain to the thoughtful why media domination and suppression of all liberty - the better to program the young, separating them from their families - are integral parts of a larger design to control and channel thought.
You did read that NYT piece about how lying the US into ongoing offense is 'military expertise' - ?
What about those virtuous souls who would give all for their community ? "Cannon Fodder" was a pretty good summation. Dad was a warrior and a priest. It hurts to think someone for whom you have had love and respect was taken for such a ride as to mock his ideals and aspirations.
Envy the Blacks. At least they KNOW they are getting screwed.
Third and Fourth generations paying the price works out about right.
