Ralph Nader after the speech - Green Lecture

It is astonishing how many Democrats in the past three months have been making the worst case scenario for their prospects in the November mid-term Congressional elections. Do they believe that the most craven Republican Party in history needs their help in such a self-fulfilling prophecy?

The arguments that the Democratic pundits, along with some elected lawmakers, are giving focus on the slowing of the recessionary economy and the “natural giveback” to the Republicans of the hitherto safe seats that they lost to the Democrats in 2008.

This is Part III of the three-part series, “The Imperial Anatomy of Al-Qaeda.”

Part II: The Imperial Anatomy of al-Qaeda: Empire, Energy and Al-Qaeda: The Anglo-American Terror Network, Part II

Anticipating An Attack

Like most stories that are told through the mainstream media or by our elected officials, there is so much more to tell. If you take time to read Jesse Ventura’s new book American Conspiracies you may come away with many doubts as to September 11, 2001. I liked Jesse’s book because it is written ( along with Dick Russell, a great investigative reporter and author ) in an easy to understand manner. There are many other well written investigative accounts out there ( 9/11 The New Pearl Harbor by David Ray Griffin is one of the best ) . The bottom line is this: Who benefited from 9/11 besides the Islamic fanatics who participated? From the very moment Bush Jr. remained seated in that elementary school classroom, knowing that a second plane went into the Tower, doubt should become paramount. Why did not the Secret Service whisk the president off like we see in all those action films? Continue reading →

"Stop Bitching - Start a Revolution"

This is a fist in the system. I’m tired of all the exploitation that the rich bring down on us. I’m tired of the capitalistic system that decides who we are allowed to vote for. I’m tired of writing to sycophants in Congress whose only desire is to get reelected so they can keep their heads in the trough. I’m tired of the incessant wars based on conjecture which are crimes of aggression and therefore are illegal under the Geneva Conventions.  I’m tired of being lied to on a daily basis by the talking heads on television that spew garbage and hide what they know to be the truth.
