Opinion: Speaking Truth to Truthers

admin @ November 12, 2008 # 2 Comments

As a wise person put it, the losses are permanent, the victories are only temporary. Each new shock comes before we have recovered from the last one. JFK was assassinated 45 years ago and there is still no closure.

The American people don’t want to know the truth and they will not rise up. They are comfortable with genocide. Ask yourself how many dedicated peace activists you know personally who voted for continuing war crimes under the command of Barack Obama.

Many of the Democratic gatekeeper sites urged people to vote for Obama by saying that first we had to elect him and then we could hold his feet to the fire. But they already knew from his FISA vote, his vote to fund the wars, and his bailout vote, that he has asbestos shoes and doesn’t care what people say or think. Now they are purging dissidents and saying that nobody should criticize Obama, that we have to accept the “centrism” of Rahm Emanuel and Nancy Pelosi, two Democrats who are far to the political right of Bush and Cheney. They never intended to press Obama for peace, they wanted more genocide.

Will Marketing My Marijuana Med - Grow Charges Make Me Money?

Will Marketing My Marijuana Grow Charges Make Me Money?

~ Matt Mernagh

Everyone loves good courtroom drama.

Combining this with my marijuana grow-op bust which also brings big media headlines an opportunity to market my upcoming (Summer 2009) blockbuster medical marijuana constitutional challenge appears to be
ganja golden.

Charismatic med-cannabis infused alt-weekly journalist (cannabis / war resisters beat) with a Gen X criminal defense lawyer angling to create a name with an incredibly articulate constitutional challenge is hot copy.

Especially in the middle of the dog days of July.

Sidewalks crammed with those big media tents, with newscasters doing mid day noon hour courtroom commentary, and friends pitching in words of wisdom for the throng of print journalist seeking quotes would be awesome.

Opinion:If You Vote Third Party and Elect McCain/Palin, This Is Who You Empower!

admin @ October 27, 2008 # One Comment

To underscore that voting third party or not voting at all will help elect McCain and Palin, and thereby re-empower the self-righteous ideologues who berated progressives, liberals, democrats, greens, libertarians, etc., for the past 8 years while their leaders were on board, I’ve asked my fantastic vlogger collaborator, Sharona L. Smith (VoiceOfAmericans2008), to compile a short video of some of the harassment we’ve endured.

Before you decide NOT to vote for Barack Obama, who I view as our most realistic HOPE to restore some sense of sanity to our rapidly failing world, I implore you to watch Sharona’s masterful 4+minute compilation of pro-Obama/pro-McCain confrontations… and more:

Oct 23-Third Party Debate News Update

admin @ October 23, 2008 # One Comment

As reported by Free And Equal, the Nader Campaign, And the Constitution Party

other relevent sites to visit are www.breakthematrix.com and www.thirdpartydebate.com

As reported, ALL candidates have been invited, and one must ask about the absence of the “main candidates” in a system that a) considers itself a ‘democracy’, b) has the mainstream media not report this event whatsover, and c) fails to report on the reason that voter turnout, in the most basic understanding of math, ignores the essential majority that has no faith in the system at all to even bother registering a ballot. It’s not rocket science –in fact, it’s a cry from the people for something else. And a suspicious thing when 2 parties control access to information…

OpEd: Stolen Votes and Stolen Elections

admin @ October 20, 2008 # 16 Comments

I’ve been accused of dissing the election porn industry, the people like Greg Palast, Mark Crispin Miller, Bev Harris, and others who investigate, analyze, document, and publicize stolen elections while encouraging people to vote. Most of them claim that by carefully monitoring an election, it is possible to deter or prevent vote theft. Even if that were the case, which it is not, since no matter how closely you observe an election, you cannot prove that a vote was stolen until after it has been stolen, it would not prevent election theft.
