The American Mainstream Media's Silence on Sibel Edmonds

Daniel Ellsberg (who released the Pentagon papers) wonders would the media have printed the Pentagon Papers today. The media and the government believe it is more important to protect criminals than it is to protect millions of people those criminals have endangered. Do they sleep easy at night knowing that American nuclear secrets have been sold by backstabbing criminals to our Israeli and Turkish allies? The nuclear espionage ring consisted of Israel, Turkey, and Pakistan. Through them into the black market American nuclear technology spread far and wide.

What does Congressman Henry Waxman decide is more important than this? After he promised to hold hearings on the matter he has retracted his promise. He is going to hold hearings on baseball instead because kids need "good role models." He obviously isn't one of those "good role models," breaking his promises, and defending corruption.

Here's one of the best sources that is keeping coverage of this matter:

Saudi Arabian Terrorist Make Up Half of the Foreign Fighters in Iraq

This is an interesting article. It claims that 45% of the foreign fighters in Iraq are from Saudi Arabia. Not surprisingly the White House and the State Department declined to comment. If it was Iran they wouldn't be able to help themselves in commenting about it. The government is more concerned with protecting it's own interest than the American people.

Ron Paul Interview

Here is Ron Paul's Official Campaign Website. He does weekly columns on his House Website, speaking his mind.

WorldnetDaily grills Ron Paul on his positions. Ron Paul wants to pull our troops out Iraq and stop threatening Iran. He points out that the number one reason for terrorism is occupation from a foreign power.Wolfowitz even connected the dots between our military bases in Saudi Arabia, resulting in Muslime outrage and 9/11. He wanted to move the bases out of Muslim holy land and into Iraq which we are in the process of doing. Ron Paul is strongly against further consolidation of the United States, Canada and Mexico in what would become the North American Community. It would be the next step to an European Union style government. The European Union was the successor to something called the European Economic Community.

He wants to take away the incentives from people to come here illegally and end birthright citizenship. Justin Raimondo of Antiwar.com draws interesting parallels between the American Empire's immigration policy and the Roman Empire's. The Romans relied on Mercenaries just like the United States. We have over 100,000 taxpayer paid private contractors in Iraq right now.

Colin Powell Tried to Talk Bush Out of Invading Iraq

Colin Powell openly admits he virtually got down on his hands and knees, begging Bush not to attack Iraq :

“I tried to avoid this war,” Powell said at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado. “I took him through the consequences of going into an Arab country and becoming the occupiers.”

There have been other instances where other people have come forward saying that Powell disapproved of President Bush and his Neoconservative allies but this is the first time he brought it out into the open. It is no wonder that he called the Neocons "F-- crazies" in a conversation with British Foreign Minister Jack Straw. The Neocons want to maintain the American Empire and bring democracy to those who don't understand it. They have a website called the Project of a New American Century online.

Bush kicked Powell out early in his second term because he wanted ideological purity and had no more use for Colin Powell after he went to the altar of the UN to sacrifice himself for a cause he didn't believe in. Bush used one of his servants to deliver the message to Colin Powell that he was fired:

"The president would like to make a change," [Chief of Staff Andrew] Card said, using a time-honored formulation that avoided the words "resign" or "fire." He noted briskly that there had been some discussion of having Powell remain until after Iraqi elections scheduled for the end of January, but that the president had decided to take care of all Cabinet changes sooner rather than later. Bush wanted Powell's resignation letter dated two days hence, on Friday, November 12, Card said, although the White House expected him to stay at the State Department until his successor was confirmed by the Senate.

Colin Powell as well as other Generals have pointed out that the problem in Iraq is political so Bush can surge and mistakenly train and arm the Mahdi army but his goals are probably not going to be met unless he wants destruction and mayhem, so he can bleed the American Treasury for the Military Industrial Complex. The Iraqi Government has yet to try to reconcile the differences among Iraqis.

Happy Independence Day

Here is Ron Paul's speech in Iowa, preaching the end of Empire. Enjoy!

The Real Divide Between Parties: Nationalist vs Globalist

I'm amazed how most of the Presidential Candidates from both political parties are the same after you peel back the persona they project to rally their respective bases to vote for them. Democrats may openly hate on Bush but advocate aggression (leave all options on the table) towards nations who are not a threat to the United States. What did Kosovo ever do to the United States? Why did Bill Clinton ally himself with the Kosovo Liberation Army or KLA, knowing full well it is a terrorist group? Our government even gave these violent thugs training. If the KLA needed anything they could call Wesley Clark on his mobile phone.

Andrew Longman, accurately points out the real fault line in America:

[T]he 2008 election will be fought out between globalists on one hand (Romney, Giuliani, McCain, Thompson, Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Biden and Dodd) and American sovereign parties on the other (Tancredo, Hunter, Paul and Kucinich). It will be a mistake and a mirage for Americans to believe any longer in the Democrat-Republican political theatre, which has been mass packaged by the media for our consumption. These Grammy-winning musicals only exist to play the masses off one another so the globalists, who have dictated the entire top money-tiers of both parties, may forge ahead with their plan to obliterate American sovereignty and crush the peoples beneath their plans for high profits and the global police state. To again gain the privilege of actually having the liberal-conservative contest, populists on both sides must throw out the tops of both parties. What happens in political reality today is a dumb show of convenience, that the puppeteers might install that most beautiful globalist who gets chosen "best actor."

Hope says that real people still vote in the primaries. We, The People, must make a vow not to be influenced by the big-money TV and standard media that seek to install yet another globalist actor candidate. We must hang tough for the real thing. And we must give our money to the Tancredos and the Kuciniches – both of whom are pariahs of their money-elite leadership.

Most US Presidential Hopefuls Lack Military Experience

Only Duncan Hunter and John McCain have combat experience. Jim Gilmore served in West Germany, Ron Paul was a flight surgeon, Chris Dodds and Tommy Thompson were in Army Reserve. Unless we elect someone like Ron Paul we may very well have another incompetent fool in the White House, trying to police the world unless Pro-war Conservatives start supporting Duncan Hunter or find one of those Four Star Generals who rejected Bush's overtures to be his War Czar. Do we really need more posturing with no substance?

Marine Gen. John J. "Jack" Sheehan, former Supreme Allied Commander, NATO Commander-in-Chief, and U.S. Atlantic Command. A highly decorated warrior:

His decorations and medals include: the Defense Distinguished Service Medal; Silver Star Medal; Defense Superior Service Medal; Bronze Star Medal with Combat “V” and gold star in lieu of a second award; Purple Heart with gold star; the Defense Meritorious Service Medal; Meritorious Service Medal; Army Commendation Medal; Navy Achievement Medal; Combat Action Ribbon; Presidential Unit Citation; Navy Unit Commendation; National Defense Service Medal with one bronze star; Vietnam Service Medal; Southwest Asia Service Medal with two bronze stars; Republic of Vietnam Cross of Gallantry with silver star; and the Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces Honor (First Class).

He said, "[t]he very fundamental issue is, they don't know where the hell they're going, so rather than go over there, develop an ulcer and eventually leave, I said, 'No, thanks,' ", believing Cheney and the Neocons are more powerful in the White House than pragmatist trying to find a way out of Iraq.

It is telling when someone as decorated and knowledgeable as Marine Gen. John J. "Jack" Sheehan rejects a position offered by the President of the United States because there is a lack of intelligent thought in the Executive Branch. We need someone like him as President if we are to continue our present foreign policy.

The House of Representatives Votes to Ban Aid to Saudi Arabia

Rep. Shelley Berkley said, "Saudi Arabia propagates terrorism." Lawmakers also were angry at the religious intolerance found in Saudi Arabia which is no surprise since Saudi Arabia's official faith is Salafism the very same faith of Osama Bin Laden. They pointed out that Saudi Arabia is rich and we shouldn't be paying tribute, I mean giving aid to them.

Barack Obama Is Not Antiwar

He speaks out against minding our own business and not using our military to continue our Wilsonian Foreign Policy:

There is no doubt that the mistakes of the past six years have made our current task more difficult. World opinion has turned against us. And after all the lives lost and the billions of dollars spent, many Americans may find it tempting to turn inward, and cede our claim of leadership in world affairs.

I insist, however, that such an abandonment of our leadership is a mistake we must not make. America cannot meet the threats of this century alone, but the world cannot meet them without America. We must neither retreat from the world nor try to bully it into submission – we must lead the world, by deed and example.

We must lead by building a 21st century military to ensure the security of our people and advance the security of all people. We must lead by marshalling a global effort to stop the spread of the world’s most dangerous weapons. We must lead by building and strengthening the partnerships and alliances necessary to meet our common challenges and defeat our common threats.

He thinks we should maintain Bush's Wilsonian fantasy and desire to spend more taxpayer dollars in reshaping the Middle East and the world. He promises to be better at it than our current president, seeking global consensus before we blow up another country. He believes we should leave all options on the table, concerning Iran. He believes the US may one day have to rain down missiles onto Iran and Pakistan.

Some of Hillary Clinton's Hawkish Values

Hawkish Values:

• Clinton wants a larger military.
• She believed Saddam was a threat.
• Hillary plans to leave all options on the table, concerning dealing with Iran.
• Hillary Clinton supports military arms dealing to unsavory nations and opposes UN resolutions that would undermine US allies with nuclear weapons.
