Isn’t it about time to stop this ugly business?
The U.S. has become the most prolific sponsor of coups in history but I see that soon coming to an end with one last epic regime change. This one will be the ouster of the imperial lunatics in the current administration, an epic game-changer that will be the mother of all coups and will put the rest of the world at ease, at least for the foreseeable future.

U.S. Promoting An Agricultural Revolution!
We’re creating an economic boom in Afghanistan! It’s part of our unique and aggressive approach to job creation. Promote heroin production, then hire people to fight the war on drugs. It’s also a shot in the arm for morticians and gravediggers, who get to take care of all of the victims of overdoses. Is this ingenious or what?!! Continue reading

VIDEO BLOG: Trust No Incumbent
The bribery and blackmail has destroyed any semblance of representative government in contemporary America. We have learned our lesson. The faith both in our democratic system and the politicians we entrusted with the future of our nation and the quality of our lives was misplaced. The system has been corrupted by money and the trustworthiness of our “representatives” in public office been sabotaged. No more apologies. No more excuses. No more bullshit. Trust no incumbent!

We know how this will end . . .
It’s up to us to demand a true and honest commitment to peace, not the simpleminded, hollow, meaningless blather that we’re being fed as the trigger-fingers of our war mongers tingle and twitch, just waiting for the right moment to churn up more carnage, destruction and hatred in the rest of the world. We can start right now by demanding the administration start working with Russia to calm the situation in the Ukraine. Continue reading

The October Surprise
They say timing is everything. It may not be everything but it certainly is critical. When is the best time to present the candidate pledges? When should this confrontation take place? I am recommending the first week of October, one month before the election. The October Surprise. Everybody loves surprises! Continue reading

How Pledges Can Work
How will candidate pledges for progressive positions on key issues be effective? How will this work? Intimidation! We will either make the toadying hypocrites sign the pledges out of fear that they will lose the election, or we will run them out of office by instigating voter outrage for voting against the laws the vast majority of Americans want.

War Is A Lie
If we continue to accept the lies we are constantly given by the government and the media, we end up at war with one another, war with ourselves, war with everyone else in the world, and at war with the truth. Continue reading →
