Video: Operation Gladio BBC documentary

This is the BBC documentary about the false-flag terror operation code named Gladio. From the Wikipedia page on Operation Gladio:

Operation Gladio was a clandestine "stay-behind" operation sponsored by the CIA and NATO to counter communist influence after World War II in Italy, as well as in other European countries, which has been involved in various terrorist acts. While Gladio is usually used to refer to only the Italian "stay-behind", the term has also been applied to all other "stay-behind" operations. NATO stay-behind armies existed in all countries of Western Europe during the Cold War, including Turkey. Suspected at least since the 1984 revelations of Avanguardia Nazionale member Vincenzo Vinciguerra during his trial, Gladio’s existence was acknowledged by head of Italian government Giulio Andreotti on October 24, 1990, who spoke of a "structure of information, response and safeguard", with arms caches and reserve officers. Further investigations revealed links to neofascists, the mafia, Propaganda Due masonic lodge (aka P2), and the "strategia della tensione" followed in Italy during the 1970s–80s to block the electoral success of the Italian Communist Party (PCI).

Tempting Faith - What is the future of the GOP?

Is Obermann tempting fate with Tempting Faith?

Keith Olbermann is making a name for himself as an outspoken critic of Bush and his cohort of criminals. There has been some speculation about the reasons behind this. Perhaps he got the 'ok' from the powers that be and Bush is being tossed to the wolves. Perhaps he simply grew a backbone or just finally snapped. Some may say it's six years to late, but I'd say at least it's something. There is so little truth coming out of the mainstream media that any voice in a storm is a welcome one as far as I'm concerned. I wonder though, if he did not get the ok from above, if perhaps he's going to far by shedding light on the differences between the Neo Conservatives and the Christian Right. This hits the GOP with a double blow, where it really hurts; in the wallet and in the voting booth. It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out. Anyway, here are the videos.

Tempted by Faith Part 1

Tempted by Faith Part 2

The controversial book, Tempting Faith: An Inside Story of Political Seduction by David Kuo, former Deputy Director of the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, is due out this week and details the use and abuse of Evengelical Christians by some in the Bush administration, particularly Karl Rove.

This is certainly no news to me. I've long wondered about the dual nature of the Republican party. On one side you have the so called 'Neocons', who apparently are willing to do anything, including covering up pedophile activity among their own, as long as they get to continue feeding the war machine and shovelling the money of future generations into the pockets of the military-industrial-security-oil-pharma corporate hydra. On the other side, the 'Paleocons' who at one time stood for family values, small government and fiscal responsibility but have now been tainted by those who usurped their party.

It's strange, because the Neocons are small in number and it's no secret in Washington that they despise their Paleocon Christian 'cousins'. One would think that the real Conservatives would have woken up by now and either taken back their party or split off on their own. Perhaps it's only a lack of leadership that is keeping that from happening. Surely the people themselves are disgusted. Just the other day I was watching Washington Journal on C-Span and most of the Republicans who called in said they would not be voting at all in this election, out of disgust. There were also several callers who said they'd be voting Libertarian and even a couple who said they would vote Democrat.

I have to wonder how the Neocons plan to pull off their voter fraud this time without the boots on the ground to make a plausable case for some unbeknownst tsunami conservative of voter turnout.

I'd say this to those disillusioned and disenfranchised conservatives; is it not time to make a break, divest from what has become the 'party of death' and stand up for what you profess to believe in? In the modern era there has never been a riper time for a third party. The ball is in your court.

Video: Stephen Colbert bakes pies with feminists

Stephen Colbert bakes pies with feminists Jane Fonda and Gloria Steinem. The women give as good as they get. I think I may see a chink in Stephen Colbert's armor finally.

This is a little off topic for this blog, but I found the skit hysterical. It's a rare thing that can make me laugh in the current state BushCo has put this world in. If we don't laugh from time to time, we might end up crying uncontrollably. Tip O' the hat to Colbert, Steinem and Fonda and thanks for the laugh.

Video: The Arab League - Death Star

Straight out of Hiphopistan. These guys are hysterical and this video is awesome. It's a must-see. Truth with comedy strikes a chord when there's so much bad going on in the world. Sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying.

Video: 9/11 Conspiracy Southpark episode

This video, entitled "Mystery of the Urinal Deuce" is causing quite a stir in the 9/11 truth movement. I think I've seen as many posts tearing it down as ones giving it a thumbs up. Apparently the site 911truth.org got hit pretty hard with traffick, as one of the characters on the show was wearing a t-shirt with that written on it and was featured fairly prominently. I find it a bit odd that only five years after the crime that changed the world forever it is now acceptable to use as a punch-line, but it was bound to happen sooner or later. Watch it yourself and make your own deceision. For me, I'm still holding out and hoping some sort of real investigation might eventually happen.

VIideo: Olbermann on the death of Habeas Corpus

Keith Olbermann discusses the death of Habeas Corpus as spelled out in the Bush Torture Bill. He seems to be the only one in the mainstream standing up for the constitution. It's about time someone did. Where is the rest of the press?

William Kristol of PNAC gets 0wned by 9/11 Truth activists

William Kristol, chairman of the Project for a New American Century (founded in 1997) speaks at the University of Texas in Austin about the current political climate and the "new order" or "new world" that emerged after 9/11. He is confronted by a large number of protesters who carry banners and question his role in 9/11. Pg. 51 of the PNAC document "Rebuilding America's Defenses" (published in September 2000, which otherwise calls for the dramatic build up of military forces and for a climate of multi-theater wars) states: "Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event -- like a new Pearl Harbor."

Confronters include Infowars staff members Kevin Smith and Aaron Dykes, as well as members of the U.T. student group "Project for a New American Citizen."

Through smirking and laughing at the challenging audience, Kristol admits that he at first thought 9/11 would be a forgettable "one-off," he admits that his father was a Communist after joking about voting communist accidentally and laughing at the question itself.

The function was hosted by the U.T. Dean of the LBJ School of Public Affairs, James B. Steinberg, who is a Bilderberg attendee (multiple times since 1994, including 2006). He is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and has been a part of the Brookings Institution and an advisor in Bill Clinton's Presidential cabinet.

He is confronted by Aaron Dykes on his involvement with Bilderberg, as well as a paper he wrote entitled, "Preventive War: A Useful Tool" in which he suggests that we not let W. Bush's idea of a pre-emptive War ruin our concept of a 'preventive war.'

John Mark Karr taken to school in limo after being released - WTF?

WTF is going on in crazyworld? Apparently upon his release due to incompetence on the part of police and prosectutors, this obvious MKULTRA mind control victim and all around scary guy (not to mention Lee Harvey Oswald look-alike) was driven in a limo by ABC's "Good Morning America" producers to the school where this psycho previous worked. I say again, WTF? The world is tearing appart at the seams, there's no reason for these jerkoffs to start making stories hapen! Disgusting. The mainstream media ... the so called Fourth Estate makes me sick.

Jon Stewart on the 20M Iraq victory kegger

It's a nice thought but, like everything else the Bush administration has gotten it's hands on, Iraq is doomed to be a disaster. All told, at the end of it, it will make vietnam look like a day in the park. The death toll is already being underreported by more than five fold and the expense of it will crush our children's children's children. Thanks Bush.

video: Protesters attack Minuteman

With this Bush Administration comitting crimes against humanity and the constitution daily, I wonder if this is displaced anger. I also wonder why college groups have not protested before now. This country is going to hell in a handbasket and students have never been more placid in the history of the United States. Perhaps it's all part of the control mechanisms and the saftey valves.

JFK speaks out against Bush from beyond the grave

Just a short time before he was killed, JFK spoke out against exactly what is going on right now... and some people scoff at conspiracy theories.

Video: Olberman calls Bush out for being a filthy LIAR

Part 1

Part 2

Olberman certainly seems to be challenging the adminstration lately like a real newsman should. One might gripe that it's a little bit late, but you know what, he's still doing it and that alone deserves some kudos. We're living in a time of media oppression and he has thrown off the shackles to expose some truth so my hats off to him.

Video: Pat Buchanan on Foley the Flamer

Pat Buchanan being well... Pat Buchanan. This may be just a small indicator of the breakup of the GOP where you've got one side sticking to old school conservative values and the other side willing to do anything, including covering up pedophile activities, as long as they can continue feeding the war machines with their war mongering ways. Of course, both sides have a lot of 'wrong' in them, but at some point you have to ask yourself, which side, paleo-cons or neo-cons are causing the most harm to the most people?

Why Shoutwire is doomed

It's a simple concept really... you have users submit the content and also have users rate the content, thus all the top content is ensured to be well liked and in popular demand. All you have to do is sit back and thank God for such an opportunity to make something from nothing as the ultimate middleman. How did they screw that up?

I got into blogging a while ago, my work covers a wide variety of topics and my hobbies expand on that. I have several blogs and maintain quite a few web sites. Somewhere along the line, someome submitted one of my articles to Shoutwire and I started getting a lot of hits refered from there. I found the whole concept interesting and started submitting some articles myself... quite a few made the front page and generated a fair amount of hits. It was nothing extraordinary, but it seemed a good way to get news out that didn't usually reach people.

At one point, I noticed that some of my stories were disappearing off of shoutwire, which seemed strange because nearly ALL of the ones I submitted were getting a huge number of shouts. I chalked this up to stories simply being folded in at the time... soon I realized how wrong I was and that this was all due to censorship.

Looking back, it became quite apparent that the specific stories that were removed by the administrators of Shoutwire were done so for political reasons. Namely... any story critical of Israel, the Bush Regime or questioning the facts surrounding 9/11 were removed out of hand, completely ignoring the fact that these very stories were the ones generating the most 'Shouts'.

This fact was driven home when I submitted this
just before the five year aniversary of the 9/11 Attacks which forever changed our world. This post, once submitted started generating massive hits as well as massive Shouts. In mind boggling fashion, people were both viewing and Shouting this at the rate of hundreds and thousands per hour... for the few hours it lasted. That's right, only hours old and with tons of Shouts under its belt this post was sumarily dismissed by the Shoutwire administrators.

That of course is only one example, all through the Israel-Lebanon conflict I repeatedly submitted posts decrying the attrocities Israel was commiting upon Lebanon and they all were deleted in favor or pro-Israel news items which told nothing but lies.

Shoutwire of course has fought it's criticism, and made excuses for it's censorship, but not a single one of its arguments holds any water at all.

So, why will Shoutwire fail? Stupidity is the short answer. Look at the mainstream media for your example. American Idol out performs ALL NEWS STATIONS COMBINED and newspapers nationwide are scrambling to keep out of the red. Why is this? People KNOW when they are being played, they KNOW when they are being LIED to. It's not that they don't want news, it's that they want REAL NEWS. That's why more and more people are turning to the internet and the blogsphere for their news.

Somehow, Shoutwire started out as a good idea, promoting the free exchange of news and ended up as someone's personal political agenda. Why they thought they could get away with that while huge corporations in the mainstream are failing for just that same reason is beyond me.

With such a small market share, one has to be surprised they would take the censorship route, I mean they're competing with unrestricted services such as Digg, Reddit and now Netscape and Yahoo.

With an opportunity to stand out from the crowd as uncensored, unbiased, and completely user driven, why cave in the corporate elite? Alas, they did, and what it does is leave the gate open for a REAL news service to step in and take their place.

I waive goodbye to you shoutwire, from the moral highground.

Drive out the Bush Regime Oct 5 Protest

The World Can't Wait.

YOUR GOVERNMENT, on the basis of outrageous lies, is waging a murderous and utterly illegitimate war in Iraq, with other countries in their sights.

YOUR GOVERNMENT is openly torturing people, and justifying it.

YOUR GOVERNMENT puts people in jail on the merest suspicion, refusing them lawyers, and either holding them indefinitely or deporting them in the dead of night.

YOUR GOVERNMENT is moving each day closer to a theocracy, where a narrow and hateful brand of Christian fundamentalism will rule.

YOUR GOVERNMENT suppresses the science that doesn't fit its religious, political and economic agenda, forcing present and future generations to pay a terrible price.

YOUR GOVERNMENT is moving to deny women here, and all over the world, the right to birth control and abortion.

YOUR GOVERNMENT enforces a culture of greed, bigotry, intolerance and ignorance.

People look at all this and think of Hitler - and they are right to do so. The Bush regime is setting out to radically remake society very quickly, in a fascist way, and for generations to come.

We must act now; the future is in the balance.

Millions and millions are deeply disturbed and outraged by this. They recognize the need for a vehicle to express this outrage, yet they cannot find it; politics as usual cannot meet the enormity of the challenge, and people sense this. There is not going to be some magical "pendulum swing." People who steal elections and believe they're on a "mission from God" will not go without a fight. There is not going to be some savior from the Democratic Party. This whole idea of putting our hopes and energies into "leaders" who tell us to seek common ground with fascists and religious fanatics is proving every day to be a disaster, and actually serves to demobilize people.

But silence and paralysis are NOT acceptable. That which you will not resist and mobilize to stop, you will learn - or be forced - to accept. There is no escaping it: the whole disastrous course of this Bush regime must be STOPPED. And we must take the responsibility to do it. And there is a way. We are talking about something on a scale that can really make a huge change in this country and in the world. We need more than fighting Bush's outrages one at a time, constantly losing ground to the whole onslaught. We must, and can, aim to create a political situation where the Bush regime's program is repudiated, where Bush himself is driven from office, and where the whole direction he has been taking society is reversed. We, in our millions, must and can take responsibility to change the course of history. Acting in this way, we join with and give support and heart to people all over the globe who so urgently need and want this regime to be stopped.

This will not be easy. If we speak the truth, they will try to silence us. If we act, they will try to stop us. But we speak for the majority, here and around the world, and as we get this going we are going to reach out to the people who have been so badly fooled by Bush and we are NOT going to stop. The point is this: history is full of examples where people who had right on their side fought against tremendous odds and were victorious. And it is also full of examples of people passively hoping to wait it out, only to get swallowed up by a horror beyond what they ever imagined.

The future is unwritten. WHICH ONE WE GET IS UP TO US.
