Department of Peace Conference: a Sliver of a Peek

admin @ April 6, 2009 # One Comment

On March 20-23, the third meeting of the Campaign to Establish a Cabinet Level Dept of Peace met at the Hyatt Regency in Crystal City, Arlington VA. The location itself feels paradoxical - conference goers meet in this location surrounded by the offices of some of the biggest organizations that solely exist to profit from war and unrest; KBR (Haliburton), Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, and any number of offices of lobbyists that are situated a stone’s throw across the Potomac from the legislative core of the United States.

BUSH’S KNESSET REMARKS AN APPALLING DISPLAY OF HYPOCRISY AND IGNORANCE

admin @ July 7, 2008 # No Comment Yet

President George W. Bush’s deceit has no limits. His attack on Sen. Barack Obama, suggesting the Democratic presidential candidate wants to “appease” terrorists, reaches a new low, and we should brace for more as the Busheviks desperately and ruthlessly try to cling to the White House.
…
“Playing to his Jewish audience, many with family members killed in the Holocaust, Bush used emotionally charged imagery and historically false parallels in a vile and shameless attempt to score political points in Israel and the United States”

“Bush showed stunning chutzpah, dropping the Nazi bomb in his speech. Recall that his grandfather Prescott Bush was enjoying the comfort of money in 1939 after his investment firm, Brown Brothers Harriman, helped feed and finance the Nazi war machine.”…
