We believe that both the cowardly Democrats and the rapacious Republicans have become so systemically corrupt, that, as Senator Warren Rudman said when he resigned from the Senate, ‘This place has become so corrupt it cannot function anymore.’ It is no longer capable of representing the people, but only the special interests, the wealthy, and the corporations, especially the multi-national corporations. “We intend for our new film and this website to be a strong intelligent voice that brings consciousness, new ideas and real power back to the people.” Post Comment   Private Reply   Ignore Thread   Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest #1.

I bought the 4 DVD Billy Jack collection a couple months ago, I was wondering what he was up to these days. He's an interesting guy, one of the foremost authorities on Jung, and he also knows a lot about holistic medicine. Dakmar  posted on  2005-05-04   16:22:30 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #3.

To: lodwick (#9) I just don't buy into all this left/right labels crap. I can read a single paragraph of say, Noam Chomsky, and see more truth in that than someone like George Bush has spoken his entire life. There are some leftists (I know, but for the sake of convenience...) I respect even if I disagree with them on some major issues. The ones I have the most trouble with are the limosine liberals, shedding crocodile tears for the poor one moment, and shrieking at their minimum wage domestic help the next for some minor mishap.

To: lodwick, *Restore the Republic* (#0) Here's a great page from BJ's site: 3 Fanatic Groups Because of his fantasies, Bush and the White House are completely controlled by 3 of the most dangerous groups in American history … … 3 fanatic Groups who have created – and continue to create – the most massive and complex machination of lies and propaganda in our history to manipulate Americans into continuing to support the Iraq war, greatly increasing the nuclear/terrorist danger to America: · The 1st group: The Corporate Oligarchy: The corrupt, cold blooded, ruthless, deceitful and unconscionable “say or do anything for profit” Corporate Oligarchy, continuing to deceive and manipulate trusting Americans and our heroic troops, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, into continuing to support, be mutilated and die for the fraudulent representation that Iraq is a war for freedom and democracy when its always been about oil. [Dick (Halliburton Oil) Cheney, Condoleezza (Chevron Oil) Rice et al].; · The 2nd group: The Neo-Cons who are secret Neo-Fascists: The megalomaniacal delusional architects of the anti-American Imperial Bush Doctrine of World Domination and Control through Preemptive Strikes, written by Cheney and Wolfowitz, brilliantly disguising their colonizing and empire building under the noble words “bringing freedom and democracy.” The evidence will show that by concentrating all power in their hands, suppressing all criticism and crushing anyone who dares to dissent, that these are not Neo-Cons, but Neo- Fascists, creating a new subtle form of American Fascism.; · The 3rd group: The false Evangelicals: The third group threatening to destroy everything America stands for are the extremist, radical Evangelical Christians – as opposed to the true Evangelical Christians. These extremist, radical fanatic Evangelical Christians -- Sheldon, Fallwell, Robertson, Franklin Graham et al – are false prophets who have totally perverted the Gospels and the teachings of Jesus, and blasphemously transmorphed the real Living Christ of love and forgiveness into a chthonic pagan god of hatred, fear, violence and punishment in order to use Christ and the Gospel as a means of getting control and political power over as many trusting people honestly seeking the true Christ experience as possible. The world is being destroyed by these radical fanatic Christian religious fundamentalists on one side, and the equally radical fanatic Muslim fundamentalists perverting the Koran on the other. All 3 groups passionately support the most extremist, un-American fascist document in American history: The Bush Doctrine of World Domination and Control through Preemptive Strikes. This Bush Doctrine is the core principle of Bush Jr.’s Presidency, and was first exercised with our illegal invasion of Iraq for oil. Almost all the men involved in creating it and implementing it are now the core of Bush’s Administration. Arator  posted on  2005-05-04   19:43:23 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #12.

To: Arator (#11) The 2nd group: The Neo-Cons who are secret Neo-Fascists: Notice that nowhere on his list does Laughlin mention the 50 years of a basically RAT controlled leftist congress that sets the stage for a neocon coup. IIRC in the original Billy Jack, Laughlin rants that the "easy availability" of firearms were the cause of JFK and his brother's deaths. Damn, the whole move is full of leftist rants. Like I said before, I'm skeptical. BTW Anyone who wants a copy of Billy Jack can find it in the discount bin at WalMart for 6 bucks.

Cavutto called him 'thin-skinned' and other assorted names because Tom got pissed at the way Cavutto was treating him. Cavutto was so abrasive towards him that I never forgot about that interview.

To: lodwick (#28) I needed a little help so I got this from Wikipedia. In recent years, Laughlin has turned his eye to politics, an arena that has always interested him. In 1992 he sought the Democratic Party nomination for President, and appeared on the primary ballots in New Hampshire and several other states. Despite being excluded from debates by party officials who did not consider him a serious candidate, he received 2% of the vote in the New Hampshire primary. He has announced his desire to run again for President, and for Governor of California. Grumble Jones  posted on  2005-05-05   19:33:10 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #30.

For the same actual contents that are in the ad but in a larger, easier to read type than in the mock-up, read below. Can we morally stand by and do nothing to stop the daily bloodshed of our heroic troops and innocent Iraqi civilian women and children …* … when there is a superb, realistic Exit Plan immediately available to bring real peace and stability to Iraq and bring all of our troops home between Labor Day and Christmas 92% of Americans, 61% who supported the War, after reading the information in these 6 ads proving why this Exit Plan will be successful, are willing to march to demand this Plan be enacted immediately and the over $200 billion/year be spent healing America who so desperately needs it “Give back the oil – Bring home the Troops” No more orphans for Halliburton Oil. * Over 700 American heroes and innocent Iraqi civilian women and children where wounded or killed in the first two weeks of May alone – and over 1700 Americans killed and 13,000 wounded and mutilated, and somewhere between 200,000-400,000 Iraqis wounded, mutilated or killed to protect Halliburton and Friends Oil. “Mission NOT accomplished.” 1 Was the invasion and occupation of Iraq all about oil? Absolutely! Long before 9/11, and before Bush was even sworn in as President in 2000, Bush had already developed detailed plans to preemptively invade Iraq and occupy it for its oil, including the establishment of 14 permanent military bases, the building of the largest embassy in the world (6,000 people) and much more. 9/11 gave Bush and Cheney that chance. Once you understand that invading Iraq – from Day One – has always been about oil, you will see there is a practical and realistic Exit Strategy available to bring our troops home immediately – “Give back the oil – bring home the troops.” 2 Before the war America and Britain were locked out of Iraqi oil Few Americans know that before Bush invade Iraq, Hussein had frozen the US and Britain out of the Iraqi oil fields. Other nations held the leases or agreements to lease Iraq’s rich oil reserves. · Russia had the West Qurnah oil field, · China had the Rumalyah Reserve · France had two of Iraq’s largest fields - the Majnoon and Nahr Bin Omar, etc. Nikolai P. Tokarev, General Director of a Russian-owned oil company, testified before the war: “Everybody knows why the US is invading Iraq. The only reason is for the US to establish full control over the oil-gas complex of Iraq, and thereby control the Middle East.” 3 Iraq had become the richest oil nation in the World What Americans were also never told is that a recent discovery of 250 billion more barrels of previously unknown oil reserves had made Iraq the world’s largest oil producer, even bigger than Saudi Arabia who has not discovered a new oil field since the 1970s. Viktor A. Kremenyuk, Deputy Director of the USA-Canada Institute, testified before the war: “Iraq was sitting on the second largest oil reserves behind Saudi Arabia, a minimum of 112 billion barrels. Now with the discovery of 250 billion more barrels it’s the greatest oil reserve in the world – all of which can be produced cheaply for about $1.50 a barrel. It is all about oil.” 4 Cheney did not want to share any Iraqi oil with China, Russia, France et al The reason Cheney strongly opposed any UN involvement from the beginning, and fought against even trying to get UN approval is because Cheney did not want to have to share the oil with any country. As Qatari Foreign Minister, Sheik Jaber al Thani, testified before Bush’s 2003 State of the Union Address: “Getting the United Nations to pass the resolution has nothing to do with Hussein being a nuclear threat. It has everything to do with which oil field the US is willing to give to the other superpowers for their vote.” The only way Bush and Blair could take the oil leases away from France, Russia, China, etc. and control all of the oil in Iraq was by force -- and to do that they had to find a pretense to illegally invade Iraq with or without the United Nations approval. 9/11 gave them that pretense. (Remember, Bush had already made the firm decision to invade Iraq for its oil before he was even sworn in as President -- and long before 9/11.) 5 Bush and Cheney have no intention of getting out of their Oil Colony Iraq Everyone in Iraq, the Middle East and the entire world knows that Bush and the Oil Oligarchy has no intention of ever getting out of Iraq. An Iraqi merchant who wishes to remain anonymous for now, says what every Iraqi knows: “Every ten-year-old schoolboy in our village knows that America won’t get out of Iraq and let the UN in because Bush wants to keep Iraq as an oil Colony from which he and Cheney can control all the oil in the Middle East. The whole thing has always been about oil. 6 True to his pre-invasion plans, Bush has built 14 Military Bases in Iraq Ahmed Lachine, Head of an Egyptian village: “The Americans want to build an empire, protect Israel and win oil. They are like the Roman Empire conquering land from Afghanistan to Iraq. They want the entire world to obey their rules.” Insider experts know that despite Bush’s rhetoric of turning Iraq back to the Iraqis, in a plan that will hopelessly fail as long as Americans occupy Iraq, Bush, according to his detailed invasion plans, has actually built 14 deeply entrenched military bases throughout Iraq from which he can make quick pre-emptive strikes throughout the Middle East. With these bases, and controlling the richest oil nation in the world, Bush can dictate whatever terms he wishes to all the other Middle Eastern oil nations. Middle Eastern leaders, Arab, Islamic, European et al, all know that Bush is now the Emperor of the Middle East, completely controls OPEC, and he will never give back the oil during his term. Bush is now OPEC. 7 Why America has become the most hated government on Earth Everyone in the world, except Bush followers in America, knows that Bush’s desire to dominate and control the world was clearly spelled out in his Bush Doctrine of World Domination and Control through Preemptive Strikes long before 9/11 – and this desire to control the world was a major cause of 9/11. Because the entire world believes that Bush wants “the entire world to obey his rules,” America is the most hated nation on earth, and why it is the Number 1 target of the rapidly proliferating terrorists everywhere – proliferating because they all have in common one thing – to protect themselves from Bush’s Pre-Emptive Invasion Imperialism. 8 If Americans knew we were invading Iraq for oil, they would have never supported the War If in October 2002 the American people and Congress knew we were preemptively – and illegally – invading Iraq for oil, they would have been repulsed and never supported it. Children are being orphaned for the greatest most unconscionable lie in American history. “No more orphans for Halliburton Oil.” 9 There is never any Peace until the hated Occupiers leave the Country There will never be any freedom, democracy, or stability in Iraq until the Americans - seen by the overwhelming majority of Arabs, and virtually 100% of the Muslims as Satan incarnate who invaded to steal the oil and force their religion and culture upon them - leave, just as there never was any peace in Algiers until the French left, in Afghanistan until the Russians left, and in Vietnam until the United States left. A Quick Question: How would you, and every American, feel if the shoe were on the other foot, and it was Russia or France that preemptively invaded and occupies Iraq for the oil, creating the endless daily bloody massacres? 10 A magnificent Exit Plan that is practical and realistic. Once you understand the invasion of Iraq was to steal the oil from Russia, China, France et al, there is a simple, realistic Exit Plan that would bring real stability, peace, freedom and democracy to Iraq and would bring all of our troops home immediately – give back the oil to the Iraqis to lease it to the Russians, Chinese, French or whomever they wish. There is no possible way any world leader can send their troops into Iraq to be slaughtered, maimed or beheaded protecting Halliburton and Friends Oil. Give back the oil to the Iraqis to give back to the Russians, the Chinese and the French who we stole it from, and whoever else the Iraqis choose, at terms extremely favorable to them, and a coalition of these countries will rush in and take the Iraq problem off our hands immediately … … removing the intensely hated Americans and ending the daily slaughter of our heroic troops, who are not just numbers on the nightly news, but real human beings -- mothers and fathers, wives and husbands, sons and daughters. Because of the extremely intense cultural and religious hatred of the Americans as “Satan incarnate,” the Iraqi Police, seen as puppets of the Satan Americans, will never be able to bring peace and stability to Iraq as long as they remain under American control. However, if the Americans are replaced by a coalition of non-hated countries, and the oil is given back to the Iraqis, the bloodbath will plummet to a bare minimum immediately, and all of our troops will be home between Labor Day and Christmas.
