    Oxycanthously ugly. Wow, there's only appearance of this on the Internet: http://www.coe.uga.edu/~smago/Vocabulary_Games/Strategy.htm.

  • Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of Obama. Are The Oligarchs now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.   13 years 25 weeks ago

    Why oh why oh why isn't Grover Norquist arrested on sedition, interfering with the purpose of government, being a revolutionairy, being anti-government, etc. etc.!? Is it because he has money? Is it because Obama has to appease the same people\corporations that Grover speaks for? I give up!

    Is that President Franklin D Roosevelt, the creator of the largest Ponzi scheme in history, Social Security. That very same Social Security that we who are paying into it now are getting TOTALLY screwed by?

    No sorry, FDR is much closer to the Antichrist than he is to Jesus Christ.

    If all those stories are true, it's just annother proof of American savageness. Whatsoever, I read your stuff very carefully. Lots of information, often interesting, but mostly off-topic and rather chaotic. I guess you probably tend to read sources written by other chaots, out of touch with the real world, fantasizing a lot.

    Here's the solution: We need to annihilate our rednecks via education. We won't have a civilized political elite, as long as we have those people. Voting for GOP should become a habit of only a very small minority in future. We gotta go on with Obama for another four years -- and create a strong progressive party to the left of the Democratic Party. The GOP actually is very much like European neo-nazi parties, which rarely get into European parliaments. Idiots vote idiots into office and idiots then appoint more idiots. Who wonders?

    America is a developing country. We can't have a better America, before we work hard on educating our folks in a really big way. Obama stands for this.

    Is Walker passing some of this money out to State Assembly and Senate members to buy their vote for the stupid Mining Law?

  • Republicans should be Dancing in the Streets   13 years 25 weeks ago

    It's natural that the business sectors want to make Washington the enemy, they are at least partially accountable to the population. The corporate system is totally unaccountable to the population.This article simply reinforces Occupies pointsNotice that he didn't offer any Republican solutions to the problem.

  • The Republican Party has a serious problem on its hands – and its name is Newt Gingrich.   13 years 25 weeks ago
    Quote Palindromedary:I'm hoping that Ron Paul is part of any Obama, (Newt or Mitt), debate because Ron Paul would bring out things that really need to be debated....
    True, but are we really such a pitiful nation, depending on an entirely crazy man, who at times speaks something out that should have been said? No, we're not. Join Stephanie Miller and Hal Sparks to such debate. Especially Sparks would utter points that would make a lot of people's ears get darn hot -- Ron Paul included.

    Gingrich is the last I would trust. If it's true that Romney still has to learn compassion with working poor -- Gingrich isn't ready at all to feel something like that. But in fact I think they're both extremely dangerous because they have no inner values. Acting like nihilists. Goebels was a pure nihilist too. He didn't even believe in his Nazi ideology. Once he made a communist speech for fun and added proudly, he could do that as well. As he was a jazz fan, although officially prosecuting all who had to do with that.........

  • An Impartial Judiciary is now just a Myth...   13 years 25 weeks ago

    Mr. Tatum stated that George Bush I had ordered the neutralization (he said: which doesn't necessarily mean assassination..which is usually the last on the list...but could mean just intimidate.coerce...blackmail...whatever) of Presidential Candidate Gary Hart...then later on ...Tatum was asked to neutralize H.Ross Perot. He refused both times. In fact, he warned Perot of the order to neutralize him...something about his daughter...Perot initially dropped out then went back in later. He said that most US OSGs would refuse to go after US citizens but he stated that foreign OSGs are often used to do what US operatives would refuse to do. For $15,000 or $25,000 a foreign OSG would assassinate anyone he/she was asked to. He said that they used an OSG to setup Gary Hart and taped that rendevous. He said they have "insurance papers" in case they try to force them to do things against US citizens. He said that when they tried, and initially failed, to convince Daniel Ortega to hold pre-elections...he was told that one of his cousins would get whacked if Ortega didn't agree to the pre-elections. Two weeks later, he got whacked by missile fire...and Ortega came around.

    "Two U.S. presidents are implicated in the well documented chronicles and confessions of ex-CIA black-ops assassin, Gene “Chip” Tatum, whose tortured body was found in 2007 on a beach in Panama.

    The following video was made by Ted Gunderson, a retired FBI Senior Special Agent, who spent many hours interviewing Tatum on video tape, before he, Tatum was assassinated. It presents some of the most provocative insider information and evidence of presidential crime you will ever see. In early 2007, probably as a result of Tatum’s release of the documents shown in this video, his tortured and faceless body was found washed up on a beach in Panama. Chip Tatum should have known he was signing his death warrant when he spoke out on camera and showed the documents presented in this video, many of which he reads from, verbatim, in the video. All of the original documents are being held by a high-level government official in Central America who said he will turn them over to any international investigative agency that can assure him that they will appropriately be used to prosecute the high-level crimes that have been committed against the people of both Central America and North America.

    This is a truly astounding video that exposes lots of evidence of high-level government wrongdoing (including plenty presidential wrongdoing), which the power elite would have preferred remain secret."

    Very interesting conversation between Mike Harari (Mossad Agent) and Buddy Young (Clinton's head of security) during a flight to Palmerola Air Base as recorded by the pilot who was listening with an open mike: Where they talk about smuggling cocaine and how top government figures were in on it. Chip Tatum shows and reads the transcripts starting on video 5 of 8 but at 240 pixels the type isn't readable. You can, however, read the transcript here:

  • An Impartial Judiciary is now just a Myth...   13 years 25 weeks ago

    Thank you, Arky, for pointing out a very interesting video! I found the site on YouTube by searching on the appropriate terms. This is a 2-1/2 hour interview...the first 35 minutes had some very noisy background noise..and then the helicopters kept flying over. I used Audacity to filter out most of the background noise. After the first 35 minutes, they moved the interview into a nice quiet studio setting.

    So, it seems, our military uses blackmail or coercion of suckers with skeletons in their closets to get them to do the dirty work (killing lots of civilians). And not only that but it seems that they are actually targeting civilians with the purpose of getting the people ticked off enough so that they will fight back so we can call them terrorists. I guess since we lost the Soviet Union as an excuse to keep us very scared and vulnerable, they needed to create enemies..what a great way to create enemies....murder their children and other family members. Gee, and all of this time frame that Mr. Woods talks about was all pre-911.

    Since he was a Tomahawk missile expert I guess he should be able to tell what damage a missile would cause versus a large airliner crashing into the Pentagon. He also talked about the tight circular flight path of whatever hit the Pentagon...how that was nearly impossible for a large airliner but quite a typical flight path for a missile. I didn't quite get all that stuff about 2012, convergence, and a yellow cube but it was still interesting. Also, being an expert at being able to guide a missile to it's targets for many years he may have also thought about the possibility of remotely guiding airliners into the WTC building targets....although I don't think he mentioned that specifically.... but he did speculate on how the buildings came straight down as if all supporting structures had been removed in a timed fashion...just like planned demolitions. I just wonder how many highly trained soldiers like that are being black balled into doing things they don't want to do.

    The "Supreme Court is driven by ideological views..." HAH!!! The Supreme Court is driven by MONEY, POWER, INFLUENCE, SEX, DRUGS, POLITICS, JOB SECURITY, GUARANTEED HEALTH CARE FOR LIFE AND PENSION... whatever is convenient to them and whatever they want to deny to the American People.

  • An Impartial Judiciary is now just a Myth...   13 years 25 weeks ago

    Conflict of interest on the Supreme Court means that our judiciary is bought and owned. There is no way they can make judicial decisions that have no tint of bias. Apparently, the poison of bought judges is also trickling down to the lower courts as well. The investment for billionaires and corporations really gives a lot of bang for the buck: for a small investment they get huge returns.

    Somehow Americans have got to get together to end the succubus that is money in politics. This has to become a non-partisan issue. Both New York and California have passed ammendments to ban Citizens United. And if Romney were president he would not only be the richest president we've ever had, he would also be a true believer in corporate personhood. The right-wing is desperate to survive and has become utterly amoral and corrupt. And the Dems have no choice but to go begging from corporations to keep up. How do you raise money from the middle class and poor when they are now strapped from the flogging they are taking from the 1%? Like Buffett said, "We are the 1% and we are winning." But winning at what cost?

  • In just 5 weeks, WI Gov. Scott Walker raised more than $4.5 million, mostly from out-of-state. Will he beat the recall election?   13 years 25 weeks ago

    If this recall works, than maybe the recall for Michigans Gov. will also work. The Republicans like what Walker done, and if he beats this then I can see him running for President.

    There isn't much media coverage on the Michigan recall.

  • An Impartial Judiciary is now just a Myth...   13 years 25 weeks ago

    The guys we have in the Supreme Court are the long-term result of GOP votes for decades. That's what you get voters, for voting for those whose God is money. This country's political landscape is shaped by votes over many elections. The American people created this Supreme Court crew themselves. I don't complain. Just add: Don't vote for GOP!

  • In Solidarity Thom Hartmann is blacked out - with a few candles....Watch Now!   13 years 25 weeks ago

    I'm completely shocked just how one-sided this debate has been amongst liberal progressives. I'm a daily viewer of the Big Picture and Democracy Now, and this is the first issue I can remember ever butting heads with Thom and Amy Goodman over in the past 10 years. Their naivety about Google, Wikipedia and other "Big Brother" billionaire internet corporations is mind numbing. Don't you get it yet? Google profits from piracy!

    Google is an advertising company. Remember people: ADVERTISING = BAD BAD BAD! ;) If you want to know just how bad digital piracy is, I urge you to read this article: What 'Ownership Means for Digital Media (Hint: Not Much) and this one entitled: Internet to Artists: Drop Dead.

    And if aiding and abetting copyright piracy (ie, theft) isn't enough reason to prosecute these internet crooks, how about the latest news? Just this week, Google's recent change in privacy terms now bundles up a user's personal life to the extent George Orwell's vision of "1984" has finally come to fruition. Why aren't my progressive brothers and sisters complaining about that?! Occupy Google, for christ's sake! Don't you know the internet was invented by the government over at the Pentagon? It's not a "conspiracy theory" that the FBI and CIA are tracking us online and will continue to do so as long as people continue to "log on and tune out."

    I used to work for an internet company in the very early days back in the 90s (D.C. area, of course) and believe me, it's always been about the sweet cashish for all those start ups (many are now-top 1%ers). Don't let their flip flops and tendency towards introversion fool you. Most of these internet elites want to retire as young as possible so they can spend their time hanging out drinking coffee in the a.m., beer in the p.m., and doing "cool" things like traveling the world, playing in rock bands and banging chicks (hey, who would blame them!). But I've yet to meet one who fits the liberal journalist, political activist type. We "little people" tend to have very different ideas about keeping the internet free than do billionaires who own internet web sites and profit from advertising traffic as well as direct funding from pirate sites.

    I can't believe just how naive progressives are about who's really behind the scenes at Google and that ilk. Do your homework Thom! Google aint about the "freedom and democracy" buddio! It's ALL about Google, don't you know? Since when did Thom Hartmann start trusting the PR from big corporations anyway? At least the entertainment industry does a hard day's work, actually owns copyrights and has every legal right to get paid a living wage. Let's not forget that entertainment jobs include many blue collar workers like janitors, carpenters, struggling independent artists, writers, etc. The internet may do wonders for an already-famous writer like Thom who can afford to give away a couple of his books online as business cards. But for the rest of us, we need to earn a living wage before we can enjoy that luxury.

    My, how easy it is for Silicon Valley to dupe liberals into believing they're "one of us." Obviously there were provisions in SOPA and PIPA that were insanely wrong, which is why both sides wanted that language taken out. The legistlation was premature which is why it was killed, thankfully. But the pro Google/Wikipedia rally was, quite frankly, nauseating and deeply troubling to behold -- especially from the news and opinion organizations like The Big Picture and Democracy Now that we patriots have come to depend on for helping us understand the issues better.

    No hard feelings. Keep up the great work Thom!

    Scalia says, if you don’t like the nasty political ads, turn off your TV
    Don’t like all those attack ads, which you are seeing in part because of the Supreme Court’sCitizens United decision? Turn them off! It’s not the Supreme Court’s fault! So says Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. No, we are not making this up.

    This is an interview with an ex-Navy Seal, who, during the years 1992-2000 was sent on top secret bombing missions in the Middle East, predominantly in Iraq. Years after the first Gulf War when we were supposedly not at war with Iraq yet he and Seal Team 9 were targeting Tomahawk Missiles on a monthly basis taking out targets that were increasingly "soft"... involving deaths of hundreds of innocent civilians. Find out how this highly trained young man and his team were coerced by the military into purposely destroying villages and creating future terrorists as part of a plan that would ultimately serve their dark purpose, the war on terror and 911.

    And if that weren't enough, hear how he was trained in Area 51 as a specially gifted group of highly classified psy spies to see beyond the famous Looking Glass technology into the future involving 2012 and beyond.

    Groundbreaking in every way.

    If Congress felt it had responsibilty for holding the justices accountable, how, exactly. would that work?

  • An Impartial Judiciary is now just a Myth...   13 years 25 weeks ago

    Couldn't agree with you more. What a sad event. The founding fathers set up things so that the courts were to be made up of impartial, unbiased, and highly qualified people whose decisions were above politics. Now look what we have. People do not respect them.

    Change can come only after some sensible people are elected who might take up this issue--probably left wingers, by today's standards--and get some laws in place holding SC justices accountable and holding them to ethical standards. Getting the money out of politics is essential. I probably won't live that long.
