It’s a simple, well-reasoned look at the religion that, unlike all other major faiths of the world, seeks to be the only religion on Earth. In other words, radical Islamic fundamentalists demand that we all become Muslim or we die.
It’s so sad that we spend billions of dollars on a war in the Middle East when our President is cozy with the government that spawned the 9-11 hijackers (Saudi Arabia). We must wake up and realize that unless we stop CAIR (The Council on American-Islamic Relations) using our own laws and beliefs against ourselves, we will find ourselves on the defensive in a losing battle and our grandchildren will face the choice:
As the economy “implodes in show motions,” as a number of analysts believe is happening, we’re still plagued by the “permabulls” and those who simply believe that it’s always turned around quickly, so it will do the same this time, too.
How naive. One of the design flaws we humans seem stuck with, is a short memory. Sure, we remember bits and pieces from our childhoods, good and bad, and we even remember certain things from almost every phase in our development as adults. What we don’t seem to have, is a very sharp collective memory. I got out of the late 90s Mutual Fund fiasco before it happened, because of an annual report I got from my particular fund. It was essentially a catalog bragging about the smart people they had managing the funds. All I saw were a collection of people who had been going to Jr. High sock hops when the 1987 crash happened. I realized that the people managing my money had no experience in any kind of market, other than one of the bull variety. So I pulled my money, shortly before the wheels came off the market. I moved money to metals (Gold was in the $200 range) and never looked back.
Everywhere today, the evidence of the wheels coming off the bus is present. Whether in complicated matters like the subprime and derivatives disasters-in-the-making, or in simple things like the fact that corporate budgets are demanding zero-expense-growth in the face of significant increases in the cost of doing business (meaning layoffs to hold the budget), the story is clear. We’ve got some economic hurt coming. But yet, there are those who say “it’s always gone up, and it will, this time, too.” Well, the economic tide will rise again, but the questions are these:
1. When? Certainly not in a couple months. Too much voodoo has been used to keep the balloon inflating. It will therefore, take a lot longer to reinflate.
2. Will our economy, nation, even society look the same when it does start back up? No guarantee of that. Make no mistake, the status quo has put us in a serious, serious situation that it won’t survive. The longer the correction is delayed with artifice and voodoo, the more substantive change will be required to start upward again. It may even take a reboot.
Once again, MSNBC’s brillian Keith Olbermann is on the attack against the President. But then again, does the attack ever stop?
Carefully laying out the obvious deviousness the White House used in talking about the nuclear ambitions of Iran, Olbermann shows once again that the Bush/Cheney administration doesn’t deserve its position and control of the Government.
Olbermann’s commentary is powerful stuff, and an extremely important view of our current situation.
How is the U.S. Intelligence community in not wanting to allow Bush to further damage its credibility dangerous? Especially if removes from the table the evidence needs to further his ambitions before leaving office? Well, what worries us, is that if certain elements see that our spies won’t give Bush the circumstantial evidence he needs to start a fight with Iran, they may seek to provide direct evidence to justify the war.
You will soon see the various alternative anti-Bush sites now suggesting the “false-flag” terror danger is higher. And it may well be.
Speaking to promote her new book The End of America: A Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot, Naomi Wolf makes a compelling argument that what the U.S. is currently seeing with the Bush administration is right in line with what happens when a democracy falls to dictatorship. She makes some good points, but hits a bit of a pothole when she makes a quick reference to Hillary Clinton reversing all of the illegal surveillance when she’s President (!). I have a hard time understanding how someone who understands that there’s a dangerous cabal running our government, could miss the fact that Hillary Clinton’s smack dab in the middle of it. She’s a danger, not a solution.
Ron Paul (who Wolf does mention as the sole Republican who has signed on to the “return to the Constitution” pledge) is the solution to the problem.
