This Needs to Go Viral and be Dealt With!


What does it take for the MSM to take note of a story it wants to bury? It has to become so popular online that they can't help but cover it. Such is the case with this video from WikiLeaks which shows our soldiers indescriminately killing innocent unarmed civilians in the streets of Iraq. And, it's apparently amusing to them. This is sickening, but we need to be aware of it, because if our government does not respond to this, then this will simply be an inspiration for the next terrorist attack on US soil. Find these men and make them pay for their crimes!! Make sure to view this film and bump up the numbers.

The Plan -- according to U.S. General Wesley Clark (Ret.)

Iraq War Charge


This is worse than that nightmare about not finishing college! Oh wait. This one's true!!!

Trouble in the Middle East!!

From Daily Paul:
US Crashes Internet In Middle East After Saudi Threat, Russia Responds With Air Forces
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

Reports circulating in the Kremlin today are painting a grim picture of just how desperate US War Leaders have become as their economy continues its freefall towards total bankruptcy by their crashing of Global Internet access for the Middle East's banking centers in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Iran, UAR, Turkey and Kuwait.

These reports state that the Americans became "enraged" this past week when the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) rejected US demands for an immediate increase in oil production.

Further angering the Americans this past week was Turkey's rejection of US demands for them to sever banking ties with Iran's Bank Mellat, and which allows Iranian continued access to Global banking resources.

But, these reports state, the greatest fears of the United States were raised this past week when Saudi Arabia "warned" the United States to "back off" of its threats against Iran or face the Saudi's decoupling the US Dollar from its enormous World oil trade transactions.

Though the American President [pictured top left with Saudi King] personally went to the Saudi Kingdom to lobby the US's Middle East allies in agreeing for attacks against Iran for the Iranians decoupling of the US Dollar from its oil trade, Bush was quickly rebuffed.

It should be noted that those Nations who have dared to decoupled the US Dollar from their oil trade, Iraq, Iran, Russia and Venezuela, have come under withering attacks from the Americans, and their Western Allies; none worse than the Iraqis who are reported to have suffered over 1 million deaths since being invaded by the US in 2003.

But, as these reports state, the "worst nightmare" of the Americans appeared to be coming true this past week when their Saudi Arabian allies were reported to have begun the decoupling of the US Dollar from their oil trade with the intention of replacing the rapidly declining American currency with the European Euro.

American War Leaders, though, have had previous warnings of the Saudis growing fears of being the holders of trillions of declining US Dollars with Saudi Arabia, for the first time, refusing to drop their interest rates in "lock-step" with the US Federal Reserve, and leading to fears of a "stampede" by other Middle Eastern Nations out of US Dollar backed assets.

Under such a threat, and with the Saudi King growing closer to Iran's President Ahmadinejad [both pictured top left 2nd photo], Russian Military Analysts state in these reports that the United States invoked one of their so called "nuclear options" by severing the three major undersea cables connecting the Middle East's major banking centers to their Western, and Global, counterparts.
The significance to the severing of these cables is the Middle East Banking Centers being denied access to the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT), based in Brussels and which carries up to 12.7 million messages a day containing instructions on many of the International transfers of money between banks, lies in Saudi Arabia, or any other Middle East Nation, being unable to change their previously, before loss of communication, encoded currency instructions from being changed.

Moscow's actions against the West, in the severing by the United States of these cables, was swift as President Putin ordered Russian Air Force Fighters and Bombers to take immediate action to protect the Russian Nations vital undersea cables in the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans.

To some of the Russian Air Force assets used we can read as reported by the Reuters News Service article titled "Russia sends bombers, fighters to Atlantic, Arctic", and which says:

"Air force pilots will carry out practice in the areas involving reconnaissance, missile-bombing attacks on a navy attack force of a hypothetical enemy, air-to-air combat and refuelling and patrolling," an air force spokesman said. The bomber group included two Tupolev Tu-160 strategic bombers, codenamed "Blackjack" by NATO, two turbo-prop Tu-95 "Bear" strategic bombers, and eight Tu-22 "Blinder" bombers. MiG-31 and Su-27 fighters were also sent to the region."

To the final outcome of these events it is not in our knowing, other than one Russian Banking Official, wishing to remain anonymous, stating that, "Should the Saudi's effectively decouple their oil from the US Dollar, the United States, for all practical purposes will cease to be a World power as it economy will collapse completely as the US Dollar has no value in and of itself due to the staggering debt of the Americans. Without oil they are nothing."]

Ron Paul vs Mike Huckabee




Wow! 68,000 views in 3 days. A real soldier sets the record straight on real honor, what's really going down in Iraq and shows his support for Ron Paul. I was impressed by this guy's ability to articulate his position clearly and forcefully (after a shaky start). Check it out! (Update: The poster got so much attention that he took the vid down. This is a mirror.)

John McCain - Iraq Is Safe and Sunny


Attention CBS News: Dump Katie Couric and hire this guy! "billybobjoe57" has 545 videos on youtube. Sounds like a real internet celebrity to me! Check this video out, but beware of some pg-rated language (that wouldn't make it on CBS News.)
Insane McCain enjoys a glorious walk through the Bagdhad market several months ago. Too bad it was all for the media. There was tons of protection and afterwards the marketplace became a target of violent insurgents.

McCain: "Make it 100!"


Sounds like John "Insane" McCain likes having us over in Iraq. On whether we stay in Iraq for 100 years, McCain says, "It's fine with me." Could this be McCain's "macaca" moment? Pass this link around!

"Stunning": CBS News Discovers "Hidden Epidemic" of Military Suicides


From the Huffington Post:
"Tonight CBS will air the first of a two-part series on the 'hidden epidemic' of military suicides, revealing numbers that CBS calls 'stunning.' The report examines data on the suicide rate amongst veterans once they return home, which indicates a serious mental health issue — and a hidden mortality rate. 'We first started researching military suicides because it had never been done before,' said Armen Keteyian, CBS News' chief investigative correspondent in a statement forwarded by CBS News. 'But when all the data was collected, we were astonished. I had no idea how much of an epidemic CBS uncovered. We expect this to be a wake up call.'"

10 Things I Hate About Liberty, starring Hillary Clinton



Great video! Good music and great Mike Gravel slam of Hillary at a debate.

Following us home

Somewhere in Washington, there's a catchphrase factory pumping out dumb new words and slogans that become the neocon mantra. "Islamofascists" and "global terrorism" are the de rigeur bon mots in any self-respecting neocon scare speech. One oft-repeated argument I have heard way too many times is this notion that if we "just leave" the terrorists in Iraq, then they will "follow us home".

It's a stupid argument, partly because it is often presented with no facts to back it up—just the kind of stubborn assurance that got us into this war. It also makes no sense, because it presumes that these guys have war planes or war ships that will attack us as we are attacking them. Or else, it presumes that it's just as easy for them to come here and kill us as it is for them to kill us over there. That is patently false. They like us over there, because we are saving them all of that transportation cost they'd have to incur to kill us in the U.S.

Thinkprogress.org did a great piece on all of this. Follow this link to its home. ;-)

Limbaugh Faces Blowback

TheHill.com - Democratic leaders call Limbaugh comments ‘beyond the pale’: "In a letter prepared Friday by Senate leaders, Democrats continued to blast conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh’s description of antiwar troops as “phony soldiers,” setting up a parallel to Republican outrage over MoveOn.org’s recent Iraq ad. During his Wednesday broadcast, Limbaugh responded to a caller who identified himself as an active-duty member of the Army and said troops who criticize the war are not “real soldiers.” Limbaugh responded in agreement, rousing Democrats’ ire."

Iraq For Sale


This is a must-see movie to understand the privatization of the Iraq War. 40% of the war spending is going to private contractors. (1hr 15 min)

What's it Take to Win in Iraq?


According to Slate Magazine, General David Petraeus in his counterinsurgency field manual seems to indicate that the forces supplied for The Surge™ are way below what would effectively take care of the Iraqi insurgency.
One point they made is that it requires a lot of manpower—at minimum, 20 combat troops for every 1,000 people in the area's population. Baghdad has about 6 million people; so clearing, holding, and building it will require about 120,000 combat troops.

Right now, the United States has about 70,000 combat troops in all of Iraq (another 60,000 or so are support troops or headquarters personnel). Even an extra 20,000 would leave the force well short of the minimum required—and that's with every soldier and Marine in Iraq moved to Baghdad. Iraqi security forces would have to make up the deficit.

In the short term, then, say for a year or so, enough troops might be concentrated in Baghdad if troops now deployed in Iraq have their tours of duty extended, troops due for redeployment to Iraq are mobilized several months ahead of schedule, nearly all these troops are transferred to Baghdad, and enough Iraqi troops can be mobilized to make up the remaining slack.

It seems we as a nation have 2 choices: 1) Cut our losses and leave Iraq, Mission Accomplished-style or 2) Invest more money (and American bodies) than we can possibly afford to force democracy on Iraq, meanwhile bankrupting our country. You can read the entire article here. Also, if you'd like a free copy of Petraeus' manual, go here.

Where was Osama on September 11, 2001?

"Where was Osama on Septembers 11? There is evidence that the whereabouts of Osama are known to the Bush Administration. On September 10. 2001, 'Enemy Number One' was in a Pakistani military hospital in Rawalpindi, courtesy of America's indefectible ally Pakistan, as confirmed by a report of Dan Rather, CBS News. He could have been arrested at short notice which would have 'saved us a lot of trouble', but then we would not have had an Osama Legend, which has fed the news chain as well as George W's speeches in the course of the last five years.

George Bush Encourages the Terrorists to Attack American Troops (2006)



Unbelievable! A 2006 display of titanic arrogance from the chickenhawk who recently boasted that we were "kicking ass in Iraq". It's this kind of cowboy stupidity that is going to bankrupt this country and has made us one of the most hated nations on the planet!

Bush planned Iraq invasion days after taking office in 2001


The invasion of Iraq was planned long before 9-11 according to Paul O'Neill, former Secretary of the Treasury under George Bush. In this 60 Minutes interview (aired in 2004), the author of "The Price of Loyalty" gives startling testimony to the pre-meditated plan for nation-building in Iraq. This proves that the war was illegitimate and aggressive.

FaUX News Redefines Journalism



"Fair and Balanced" sounds more like Newspeak than "news speak" when it comes to the Fox News Channel. Way to go, Keith Olbermann!

Newsweek predicted Rudy McRomney would be hurt by pro-war stance


This story is almost 6 months old, but speaks volumes in common sense. Most Americans are against the war, but yet the Republican "front-runners", like lemmings, follow the advice of their political advisers. It shows most candidates are too afraid to run based on their own convictions. Note: The Ron Paul candidacy hadn't gone official at the time.
