Wikileaks friend or foe?

“The information i­n in the world doubles everyday. What they don't tell us,is that our wisdom is cut in half at the same time.”
Joey Novik

Seems to me that the informatio­n in these 'leaks' while pejorative to a certain extent, does on a macro scale reinforce what government­s of the world want us to believe:
That the world is dangerous, that we need them to protect us, that we must give up liberty to be safe.

I will always reject that assertion.­...”

FOX News invades Canada!!!

Here we go, not satisfied with exporting HATE from the US to Canada, Fox has obtained a broadcast license to operate on cable within Canada.

This move was led by the conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper who was forced to disavow Fox after secret meetings between the PM and Roger Ailes was uncovered earlier this year.
PM Harper is itching to dump the Canadian system of Health Care, and having a 24x7 propaganda machine like "Fox North" will help him pad the profits of multinational corporations, allowing them to finance his political ambitions.
Call it "American Light"

Why will HP not post this?

Posted in response to this story on the Huffington Post, which has been filtered out, the question is WHY?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/25/rush-limbaugh-obama-thanksgiving_n_788515.html

He will die as he has lived: a broken, bitter man who NO-ONE truly cares about save for what his MONEY can do for them.
Woman, including current and former wives, abhor him for what he is, a caricature who's only need for women is as an object to be used
Men pity him for his lack of any manly traits; courage, empathy, strength.

I can think of NO WORSE fate than to live as Rush lives, or to die as he will die.
In an infinite universe he has lived as Hitler, and Stalin, dedicated to the destruction of his fellow man.
At his funeral he will be damned with faint praise, as 'friend' and foe alike privately celebrate his passing.

Polling: How to tell the unwashed masses what they should think

Americans overwhelmingly agree with the TSA's ability to rape and pillage those who dare to fly.
Americans prefer the GOP to the DEMS
Americans agree that Bankers, the POTUS, and Congress are as ALL scumbags
Americans believe that POTUS Obama MIGHT be from Kenya
ETC, ETC, ETC

Does anyone else feel like I do that polls, especially those from Fox/Rasmussen are less about 'Taking the temperature' of the electorate, and more about telling us HOW we should feel? 

Beware of pollsters, and polls that don't actually give you an opposition position to select, For example:

Choose from the following

1. POTUS OBAMA is not doing a good job as POTUS
a)  Strongly Agree
b)  Agree
c) Somewhat Agree

No matter what you choose, the result will be the same; Americans overwhelmingly think Obama is doing a poor job. This kind of false choice happens VERY often on FOX. A way to get people thinking "WOW he must really suck if everyone but ME thinks he does"

In the Novel 1984, it was called "group think"

You have been warned......

The dumbing down of America, courtesy of the GOP


The GOP is determined to kill the collective intellect of America. Ever since the study came out that showed that the higher your IQ, the more liberal you are, the GOP is on a "Stupidity" bender.


The thing that keeps me going is a simple fact: Those that the right call the 'Elite' have something called an "Intellect", and they choose to use it.  Your intellect  cannot be taken away, and will only grow as you feed it truth and facts.

No matter what happens to this country, the smarter you are the more likely you are to succeed. And no matter how loudly, or how many yell  "I am dumber than you", stupidity, ESPECIALLY as a way of life, will never rule the country long-term.

So you GOP fans, you keep racing to the bottom, and we will keep sharpening our wits, and rising to the top. And when this phase of dumbing down America and Americans has run its course, we will there there to rebuild our country better, stronger and smarter than before.

Righties, you are welcome to join us, but first you must learn to separate fact from fiction, and you start THAT by turning off FOX and start thinking for yourself for a change.

George Soros throws Obama under the Bus


I am tired, and frustrated and just plain pissed off at many of the folks in congress. You know who I DON'T blame?

POTUS Obama

I have to trust that as smart and as pragmatic as he is, that he is doing what he feels is best for this country given the crap sandwich he was handed upon taking office.

One man no matter how brilliant, cannot change the country, especially when he is fighting an entrenched, well organized foe.

The strength of the Democratic caucus, its diversity, is also its weakness when fighting an enemy who allows ZERO diversity. We discovered this in the middle east, and we are seeing it in the GOP.

Not hard for a group of petulant angry old men to obstruct , especially when they have killed any voice of moderation within their own ranks as an example to other as what happens when you disagree.

Our strength, DIVERSITY, is also AMERICA'S strength. Our many voices, regardless of ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or political persuasion IS the voice of the people.

Can the GOP make the same claim?

To quote the TAN MAN

"Hell No you Can't!!"

At the end of the day, America has a choice to make, they can go the GOP way, which says "The voices of the FEW override the voices of the MANY"

Or they can choose our way, the American way, where ALL voices are allowed to be heard, ESPECIALLY the voice of moderation

Keith Olbermann tells America the truth....


Special comments like this one is the reason KO will be off the air within a year or so. The likely incoming NBC chief is a conservative, and will not allow the like of Olbermann, Maddow or Schultz to have that much air time to push a liberal POV.

But that is precisely why we need KO, their are very few outlets for liberal views and they are shrinking daily. Fox and the conservatives will tell you "Its because the country is 'center right'" ah.. no, its because the consolidation of media has placed the vast majority of media companies into the hands of conservative interests. One has only to look at the change in the WSJ to see what has happened to American media companies.


The day is coming where the ONLY venue for liberal thought will be via the WEB, and if 'Net Neutrality" becomes law, even that will disappear.

Liberals will end up playing Edward R Murrow to Foxes Joe McCarthy, with the outcome already decided by giving nuts like Beck unlimited air time to get the message out:

"Conservative GOOD, Liberal BAD"


Welcome to the New World Order, where all views are equal, but some are more equal than others.....

Debt commision recommends Euthinasia for Elderly, Poor & Infirm

The presidents "Debt Commission" has officially become America's 'Death Panels'. Their recommendations, however tepid, have tipped us off as to the direction the Plutocrats will nudge our elected officials:

If you are poor or infirm, and when you get too old to work, you will die; slowly, painfully, and most likely from starvation or via exposure.

As a country we will go back to an era where after every spring thaw brought the gruesome discovery of hundreds of dead citizens who had succumbed to the brutality of trying to survive on the streets during the winter months.

No Obituary.
No cause of death.
No empathy.
No justice.

History will show that America's decline started in 1980 with the election of Ronald Reagan, and became irreversible in 2005 with the reelection of George W Bush.
When a country no longer has empathy for the old, the poor or the disabled, that country falls to the waste heap of history and becomes a driving force for EVIL in the World.

We as Americans bear responsibility for our decline, we allowed ourselves to become too comfortable and complacent in a society that valued accumulation of trinkets, and the pursuit of personal wealth over all else.
If a GOD exists, we most certainly have disappointed it....
