PLEASE the Raytheon run Pentagon. Posture, posture, posture. Just like the IMF meets every yr to discuss how they are going to address the major world inequalities and poverty. That way they dont have to do anything.

It alot like what the movie 1984 portrayed. Positive war news. Look at what Boeing is doing now...kind of the same thing ... making war vets look patriotic ... which they are ... they just want more people to die for them, the multi-death corporations that benefit from the deaths of our vets. That's why I will never return to the U.S. Army...it's all a lie that we are defending freedom.

Bamboozle is such a great word! We have been bamboozled. Surely we are being punked by Ashton Kutcher. There is no way that this is the guy people voted for. i didn't even vote for him but I had to really resist the urge to believe in him and I certainly was hoping I was wrong.

excellent reportage here, Monstering: Inside America's Policy of Secret Interrogations and Torture in the Terror War
by Tara Mckelvey Publisher Comments:
In April 2004, the Abu Ghraib photographs set off an international scandal. Yet until now, the full story has never been told. Tara McKelvey — the first U.S.journalist to speak with female ... Read Moreprisoners from Abu Ghraib — traveled to the Middle East and across the United States to seek out victims and perpetrators. McKelvey tells how soldiers, acting in an atmosphere that encouraged abuse and sadism, were unleashed on a prison population of which the vast majority, according to army documents, were innocent civilians. Drawing upon critical sources, she discloses a series of explosive revelations: An exclusive jailhouse interview with Lynndie England connects the Abu Ghraib pictures to lewd vacation photos taken by England's boyfriend Charles Graner; formerly undisclosed videotapes show soldiers "Robotripping" on cocktails of over-the-counter drugs while pretending to stab detainees; new material sheds light on accusations against an American suspected of raping an Iraqi child; and first-hand accounts suggest the use of high-voltage devises, sexual humiliation and pharmaceutical drugs on Iraqi prisoners. She also provides an inside look at Justice Department theories of presidential power to show how the many abuses were licensed by the government.

Kalen here. In an unusual move, I had the Today Show on this morning and caught this story. There's not a lot online yet, but I would imagine in the next few hours it will explode. It opens several cans of worms--if you support the vaccines, why should these guys be able to get it when you can't...

Dont fall for it. They are trying to get us to think there is a huge shortage so we will do anything to get it. Otherwise there was no real desire by people to get it. I am happy to allow a Goldman Sachs exec to have my shot...although I think that story is a lie so we will decide "now we MUST have it."

Double standards, hypocricy and more double standards.. It's hard to ask Israel to respect International laws, when the US is not..It's much easier though to make those laws rule over developing countries...Hypocricy everywhere.. Shame on our leaders..

The CIA are the biggest criminals of all. I would bet anything the large array of near terror attacks the last month and a half are all CIA fabrications. Remember last month as they were putting MAJOR pressure on Obama to send more troops, suddenly 4 guys in different cities were arrested for trying to blow up buildings. I thought w/ the timing it was absurdly obvious... Now they are trying to spin the Ft Hood story as a terror attack.

the thing is we really have to decentralize the tabulation. If the votes are all tallied at the registrar's office like they are here it is way too easy to cheat.

Also as hard as it sounds we have to get rid of mail in ballots. You need to show up to the polls w/ ID and cast vote there. Maybe voting could be done over several days to accomodate ... Read Morethis. Mail in voting is a joke. As long as we have it we will never have honest elections.

And we need to take a very close look at the optical scanners that tally the votes. Watch the HBO doc "Hacking Democracy". Those tallying scanner chips are also very easy to manipulate. One common trick is flipping the votes. If you know who is going to win you can flip the results.
