A Decade of Self-Delusion Pat Buchanan Tuesday, December 29, 2009 About the first decade of what was to be the Second American Century, the pessimists have been proven right. According to the International Monetary Fund, the United States began the century producing 32 percent of the world's gross domestic product. We ended the decade producing 24 percent. No nation in modern history, save for the late Soviet Union, has seen so precipitous a decline in relative power in a single decade. The United States began the century with a budget surplus. We ended with a deficit of 10 percent of gross domestic product, which will be repeated in 2010. Where the economy was at full employment in ...
Fort Bend County Unorganized Militia

I am currently developing a plan to establish the Fort Bend County unorganized (constitutional) militia. This would be a militia that hews to the 2nd amendment, and the state of Texas. If anyone is interested in helping me plan this, first please be a resident of Fort Bend County, then PM me so we can get together to plan this. If you want to know everything about me, for trust issues, I will let you know exactly who I am, and my pedigree should speak for itself. The states have to resist the FedGov, and the militias are a key aspect.

The Justice Department said 23-year-old Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab had a device containing a high explosive attached to his body on Flight 253 from Amsterdam. As the flight neared Detroit’s airport on Friday, Abdulmutallab set it off – but it sparked a fire instead of an explosion, the government said. A ...
Historic Christmas Eve Vote Marks Passage of Senate Healthcare Bill

Historic Christmas Eve Vote Marks Passage of Senate Healthcare Bill Written by Joe Wolverton, II Thursday, 24 December 2009 08:00 Apropos of the unusual Christmas Eve vote, the red “nay” lights and the green “aye” lights on the Senate floor flashed in the expected pattern signaling passage of the senate’s version of a healthcare bill. Just prior to the roll call, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) turned and faced his colleagues across the aisle and poked the air with his forefinger declaring that “this fight is not over. It is far from over.” With that, he took his seat and mutely witnessed the inevitable passage of the healthcare bill by ...

The "Omaha Two:" Victimized by COINTELPRO Injustice - by Stephen Lendman After a two week April 1971 trial and four days of deliberation, an 11 white/one black member jury convicted Mondo we Langa (formerly David Rice) and Edward Poindexter for the bombing murder of police officer Larry Minard on August 17, 1970. Both men denied involvement, and ever since consistently maintained their innocence, insisting they were framed. Supporters agree, including Amnesty International that declared them political prisoners, and no wonder. They were Omaha chapter National Committee to Combat Fascism (NCCF) leaders, an off-shoot of the Black Panther Party, targeted (as later revealed) by ...

Banks with political ties got bailouts

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. banks that spent more money on lobbying were more likely to get government bailout money, according to a study released on Monday. Banks whose executives served on Federal Reserve boards were more likely to receive government bailout funds from the Troubled Asset Relief Program, according to the study from Ran Duchin and Denis Sosyura, professors at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. Banks with headquarters in the district of a U.S. House of Representatives member who serves on a committee or subcommittee relating to TARP also received more funds. Political influence was most helpful for poorly performing banks, the study found. ...
White House picks new cyber coordinator (to spy on American citizens - Obama supporters ecstatic over "change")

WASHINGTON – The White House has tapped a corporate cyber security expert and former Bush administration official to lead the effort to shore up the country's computer networks and better coordinate with companies that operate 80 percent of those critical systems. Howard A. Schmidt, a former eBay and Microsoft executive, will become the government's cyber security coordinator, weathering a rocky selection process that dragged on for months, as others turned the job down. In a letter posted on the White House web site Tuesday, John Brennan, assistant to President Barack Obama for homeland security and counterterrorism, said Schmidt will have regular access to the president and ...
Chicago's Thick Blue Wall The Windy City's notoriously aggressive police department fights for less accountability.

Christopher Drew had every intention of getting arrested. The 59-year-old artist and executive director of the Uptown Multi-Cultural Art Center in Chicago set about his city earlier this month in a red poncho and a sign that read "Art for Sale: $1." It was a protest against Chicago’s law on unlicensed peddling, which Drew believes puts up unconstitutional barriers preventing artists from selling their work. The artist was confronted by Chicago police and arrested on December 3. Because he recorded the entire incident, on the understandable assumption that the reasons the officers gave for arresting him may prove useful to his follow-up lawsuit, Drew was also charged with ...

Failing Public Schools Cost Us All

Failing Public Schools Cost Us All Carrie Lukas Tuesday, December 22, 2009 Everyone knows our public schools aren't what they should be. The nation spends more than $500 billion per year on K-12 education. That's much more than other countries – yet we still rank in the middle on international tests measuring the educational performance. Many parents take comfort, assuming that their local schools are better than the average. They know there are places where the public schools are little more than expensive, dangerous, holding pens in which little education occurs. They think of Detroit, where only about a quarter of high schoolers will receive a diploma. They think of ...
The Bush Administration's Torture of U.S. Citizen Jose Padilla (Coming to an American Citizen near you)

The Bush administration's May, 2002 lawless detention of U.S. citizen Jose Padilla – on U.S. soil – was, as I recounted in my book, the first incident which really prompted me to begin concluding that things were going terribly awry in our country. The administration declared Padilla an "enemy combatant," put him in a military prison, and refused to charge him with any crime or even allow him access to a lawyer or anyone else. He stayed in a black hole, kept by his own government, for the next three-a-half-years with no charges of any kind ever asserted against him and with the administration insisting on the right to detain him (and any other American citizen) ...
US: Guantanamo Prisoners Not ‘Persons’

In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s refusal Monday to review a lower court’s dismissal of a case brought by four British former Guantanamo prisoners against former defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld, the detainees’ lawyers charged Tuesday that the country’s highest court evidently believes that "torture and religious humiliation are permissible tools for a government to use." The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., had ruled that government officials were immune from suit because at that time it was unclear whether abusing prisoners at Guantanamo was illegal. Channeling their predecessors in the George W. Bush administration, Obama Justice ...

While we were all out doing our Christmas shopping, the highest court in the land quietly put the kibosh on a few more of the remaining shards of human liberty. It happened earlier this week, in a discreet ruling that attracted almost no notice and took little time. In fact, our most august defenders of the Constitution did not have to exert themselves in the slightest to eviscerate not merely 220 years of Constitutional jurisprudence but also centuries of agonizing effort to lift civilization a few inches out of the blood-soaked mire that is our common human legacy. They just had to write a single sentence. Here's how the bad deal went down. After hearing passionate arguments from ...
Supreme Court Guts Due Process Protection

Reader Walter passed along this distressing sighting from Chris Floyd’s blog. American civil liberties were gutted last week, and the media failed to take note of it. The development? If the president or one of his subordinates declares someone to be an “enemy combatant” (the 21st century version of “enemy of the state”) he is denied any protection of the law. So any trouble-maker (which means anyone) can be whisked away, incarcerated, tortured, “disappeared,” you name it. Floyd’s commentary: After hearing passionate arguments from the Obama Administration, the Supreme Court acquiesced to the president’s fervent request and, in a one-line ...

A Boortz Shun?

A Boortz Shun? Mike Adams Monday, December 21, 2009 Neal Boortz is an old friend of mine. (By that I mean to say the friendship is old, not that Neal is old). When I was involved in my first serious free speech controversy in 2001, Boortz defended me daily on his radio show. I prevailed in that controversy and I owe him a huge debt of gratitude. That is why I am distressed by some recent criticism of Neal at the hands of members of the pro-life movement. I began receiving some nasty emails about Neal during the summer of 2007. Early that summer, I had written a particularly scathing article about feminism and abortion. In the weeks following the article some pro-lifers wrote saying that ...

Obama Year One: Betrayal and Failure (Part I) - by Stephen Lendman Promising change after eight George Bush and Republican dominated years, Barack Obama won the most sweeping non-incumbent victory in over 50 years along with congressional Democrats gaining large House and Senate majorities. In addition, at 56.8%, voter turnout was the highest since Richard Nixon's "secret plan" to end the Vietnam war and his "Southern" and "law and order" strategies beat Hubert Humphrey and independent George Wallace in 1968. On election night, the mood celebrated hope for progressive change, an end to imperial wars, and a new day for America. When word came around 10PM, ...
Health bill revives abortion issue for young women

NEW YORK (AP) - At 21, Jelena Woehr describes herself as a feminist, focusing on issues such as domestic violence and improved career opportunities for women. Yes, she also supports abortion rights. But that wasn't her emphasis until Congress began considering potential restrictions on insurance coverage for abortion. Now, she's joined many other young feminists in mobilizing to protect a right they thought had been settled long ago. "People of my generation do not remember when abortion wasn't safe, legal and available and it's been a shock to think we might not have that right," said the Colorado resident, a part-time student and Internet content developer. ...

Kevin Cooper - Victimized by American Injustice - by Stephen Lendman On November 30, the US Supreme Court denied Kevin Cooper justice by not reviewing his wrongful murder conviction despite overwhelming evidence of his innocence. Cooper is Black and was framed for a multiple homicide he never committed. He's imprisoned on death row at San Quentin State Prison, Marin County, CA, a victim of American injustice. Savekevincooper.org documents his case and efforts to exonerate and release him, so far in vain and unlikely unless a new governor grants clemency or pardons him after taking office in January 2011. On January 30, 2004, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger denied him clemency, saying ...

In response to my one of my articles, “Hope for Financial Freedom,” I had a concerned American citizen correspond with me about the subject. He asked me a few questions which I feel are important enough to address publicly, because undoubtedly, there are many similar-thinking Americans who perhaps have not thought this fully through. Before I state the questions, let me explain why the questions were asked in the first place. As many American patriots are now advocating, the only viable way to resist federal tyranny is through the active sovereign powers of the States. This necessarily means, as I have explained for months, that the States must use the powers given to them by ...
Report: Companies knew Agent Orange risks

CHICAGO, Dec. 18 (UPI) -- U.S. military and chemical companies failed to warn of the danger of Agent Orange, the chemical used as a defoliant in Vietnam, the Chicago Tribune reports. The newspaper examined court documents and government records in the National Archives and concluded soldiers were exposed to Agent Orange without getting information on its risks, making exposure more dangerous. In 1965, the year the U.S. government escalated the war in Vietnam, Dow Chemical Co. called dioxin, a contaminant in Agent Orange, "one of the most toxic materials known causing not only skin lesions, but also liver damage," the Tribune said. Documents also showed techniques were available ...
