Op Ed:President-Elect Obama, You Must NOT Be Silent
admin @ January 4, 2009 # No Comment Yet
The fact is, while Mr. Bush, Mr. Olmert, Ms. Livni, Mr. Netanyahu, Ms. Rice, Mr. Cheney, Mr. al-Masri and the rest orchestrate their brutal murders, we will never advance as a species until we accept that ALL WARS ARE FAILURES. When you orchestrate a war that incinerates a child, the death of that child, the blood of that child, the loss of that child, will tarnish you forever. All situations are failures when innocents are harmed. If one child injures another in a sandbox, their play date was a failure. If a police car kills innocents during a pursuit, the pursuit was a failure. If a father burns his house down while attempting to warm it, the attempt was a failure. If children die in war, the war was a failure. Of this, I have not doubt.
Report: Munk Debate on Humanitarian Intervention
admin @ December 17, 2008 # One Comment
Christiane Amanpour’s CNN special tonight “Scream Bloody Murder” on genocide was quite timely after this week’s Munk Debate on Humanitarian Intervention.

Ron Paul Rally For The Republic - AP Misses Tally by THOUSANDS…
admin @ September 2, 2008 # No Comment Yet
I’m sitting directly to the left of the AP reporter that filed THIS REPORT. I am pretty certain she can see the same things as I. She can look at MY PHOTOS from this Rally-in-Session if she is vision impaired.
I’m just wondering - how can the AP get it so wrong? I am tempted to look to my right and just ask her to her face. And maybe I should. She doesn’t seem happy to be here - that’s for sure. And I know I’d be happy to work for AP if they offered me a job — even though I already work at at corporate media outlet and know what the score is in these places.
From India: “Are We Really Free?”
admin @ August 19, 2008 # One Comment
In India, freedom is an illusion. And unlike an elaborate hoax, this illusion is staring everyone in the face. People just refuse to see it and acknowledge it. They have no problems living under a nanny state that forces everyone to use seat-belts and helmets. Sure these save lives and should be worn by everyone traveling but the state shouldn’t be enforcing this on people. At most it can create awareness about these issues and let the people judge.
