Circulating today in the New York Times and Armed Forces Journal is a remarkable exposure of what is occurring today in Afghanistan--a situation not accurately reported to the American public, and of course Congress. Col. Danny Davis (USA) is the officer making this exposure possible. It will not surprise some, but it will also come as news to many, perhaps because they have consciously or unconsciously chosen to accept a more comforting view of the un-remedial situation in Afghanistan after 10 years of American conflict there. To Col. Davis we all owe a debt of thanks and support.

Student Representatives from Vermont State Colleges speak from the steps of the State House to representatives and media about the dire need to radically rethink Vermont's higher education system
BURLINGTON: “I’m really cold right now” said one state lawmaker while attempting to speak to approximately 300 students and educators as they descended upon the Vermont Statehouse in Montpelier on Tuesday morning to demand that state lawmakers radically rethink their approach to higher education funding. As student...
A Martian psychoanalyst observing the US Superbowl on TV would be shocked by the vicious animal spirits emanating from that spectacle, starting with the triumphal trumpet blasts borrowed straight from the old 1950s Hollywood epic movies echoing the prideful mis-steps of ancient Rome, along with the by-now clichéd CGI trick in the opening credits of gleaming metallic heraldic insignia spun into a military cordon of stars so as to protect the tender collective ego of this anxious nation. America wears its zeitgeist plastered right on its sweaty forehead.
Everybody knows that the...
It was typical Obama, taking credit for what should be condemned. He's a fraud, a crime boss, a war criminal multiple times over, a moral coward, and serial liar. His State of the Union address was beginning-to-end doublespeak, duplicity, coverup, and denial of failed policies complicit with Wall Street crooks, war profiteers, and other corporate favorites while popular needs go begging.
Not according to fawning New York Times writers, however. Suppressing truth and full disclosure, Helene Cooper headlined "Obama Speech Makes Pitch for Economic Fairness" saying Obama:
"pledged on Tuesday night to use...
People talk about the New World Order either as something that will happen in the future, or as something that will never happen, as it's only a paranoid delusion. The fact is that the New World Order, to a considerable extent, is already here.
In Ireland, for example, all important national decisions are now being made by an IMF administrator: the nation is under the direct rule of a personal agent of the bankster dynasty. As far as Ireland is concerned, a centralized bankster regime is already in effect. Same is true for Greece and Italy.
The NWO's global regime-change project, leading to the end of...

Call your Senator. Keep the pressure on. Click here to send a message.
In the previous posting I referred to some 'angry' responses re: questioning the wisdom of vaccines. And indeed that was the objection: to even question this sacrament was already a sin. That is, if I spread doubt in people's minds, they might make the 'wrong' decision (not get vaccinated), and that would be 'bad for them'. I would be 'hurting them' (and others around them) by telling them the 'wrong thing'.
Such observations reflect a particular underlying perspective: What 'people are told' must conform to 'what is correct', because most people cannot be trusted to think for themselves. It is an elitist perspective: We are the...
I know it's a horrible image. No, it is an UNBEARABLE image. But as the essay that follows makes so clear, this is what war is. This is what we are when we support war and the people and institutions that wage them. So look.
