US Income Tax Not Constitutional
Dec 16th
I was not expecting this to be so interesting, but Aaron Russo makes a very compelling case in this documentary video that income tax in the US is not required by law.
Watch this video and decide for yourself whether you need to be filling out all those forms in April.
Main Stream Media Outlets Acting Strangely
Sep 5th
Some of the most powerful media organizations in the US are doing their best to work in unison to discredit the work of US Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald into the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame. A number of unattributed editorials from the Times and the Post seem to be trying to discredit the investigation. Perhaps he is getting too close to the truth.
Keith Olbermann: Right on Target
Sep 1st
I have had little reason in the recent dark years to cheer a fellow American, let alone a journalist, for speaking the truth in such a way as to stir my latent patriotism. Well, it happened today, and the journalist’s name is Keith Olbermann of MSNBC. In a passionate and scathing analysis of the Bush administration in general and Donald Rumsfeld in particular, he single-handedly showed me a light at the end of this long and desperate tunnel we, as Americans, have wandered into. I applaud both the substance and the passion with which he delivered this commentary on his nightly news program, Countdown. Now if some of our political “leaders” will show a bit of his moxy, we might just see off these miscreants once and for all. Here’s hoping so.
The Price of Arrogance
Jul 31st
The Israeli attacks on Lebanon have crossed the line of acceptable loss and deep into the territory of brutal aggression. The media can’t be trusted to be objective, so one must draw one’s own conclusions from the number of resources who are watching this happen. This article covers a number of things that don’t really make it into the evening news. It is up to enlightened people everywhere to arm themselves with the truth and then act on their own conscience.
Hemply Amazing!
Jul 22nd
Yet another of the myriad ways “the Man” pulls the wool over the eyes of the rank and file. Hemp is a true miracle plant, and yet a conspiracy among several companies with alot to lose and the government officials who are paid off by them, has given this remarkable plant a bad name. Read the facts and be enlightened.
Our Congress Members Are Insane
Jun 27th
Just when I think the Bush political machine has hit the bottom of this exceedingly long slide into political irrelevance, something new has emerged. It appears that the U.S. Senate (Republicans) have decided that with all of the urgent and dramatic issues facing our world today, the most productive use of their time is to debate the altering of the Constitution to prohibit the burning of the U.S. Flag. There was an appalling increase of flag burning incidents (up to 4 from only 3 the previous year) and the clear and present danger we all face as a result, will undoubtedly shatter the country if not dealt with right away at the cost of millions of taxpayer dollars. Read the story here.
I am utterly flabergasted at the cynicism this Republican administration has exhibited. I suppose they are convinced that if they can douse the flames on the flag, that Rome itself will stop burning.
