THE GENERAL'S SON
most americans are relatively clueless about the particulars of the establishment of the state of israel.
let us hope this changes in the day of internet and instant access to information like this video.

while the rest of US citizens struggle with an economy that crumbled due to rich and corporate entities...while states declare bankruptcy and close public schools and other venues, the US helps this zionist state, steeped in apartheid, racism, oppression and land theft...with american's tax dollars.
just wondering, did anyone out there vote yes on this outrage?
if not, isn't this taxation without representation?
when our taxpayers suffer while our taxpayer dollars are used to support the zionist regime in israel, doesn't it make you want to scream?
let's do it! let's scream outloud!
NO FUCKING TAX DOLLARS TO SUPPORT ISRAELI WAR CRIMES AND APARTHEID! KEEP OUR TAXES AT HOME!! FIX THE ECONOMY! FIX THE ROADS! SUPPORT THE PEOPLE OF THE US! NOW!!!!!!

pakistan next?
US behind PNS Mehran attack, says Nawaz Sharif
and there's this
see, recently alot of stuff has been going on back and forth between pakistan and US. for quite some time really. and when obama invaded pakistani sovereign borders with a seal team and murdered some folk, crashing a helicopter on the way out, it got even dicier.
some important military installations were attacked and just days after the pakistanis had met to make 'arrangements' with china for a base.
obama claimed osama bin laden was killed in the event, and subsequently dumped into the sea. (now look at a map so that you know how far the seals traveled to get to an ocean from where they did the deed.)
then US claimed that pakistan knew bin laden was there. and that US had decided NOT to inform their supposed partner in the war against terror, (pakistan) because they thought someone in the government would 'tip' bin laden off.
drones have been flying pakistani airspace and killing civilians in the tribal areas for years now. and the pakistani people were beginning to have quite enough of all that. were protesting in larger and larger numbers and blocking nato supply paths to afghanistan as part of their protests.
an american spy killed two people, the US claimed he was a diplomat and negotiated his release without trial.
the list goes on and on.
but all you have to really know is a board game called "risk". i used to play (altho hated) this game when younger. the game board is a map of the continents of the earth. the point of the game is to, (as the genius mouse from "pinky and the brain" would say,) take over the world!
one has their armies and using good planning and strategies, sets oneself up to control more and more continuous tracts of land in any given region. by war and conquest as well as lucrative deals for resources (underhanded)
now look at a map of the world and see where US military is actively running campaigns these days. well, pakistan is right in the way!
so i'm thinking, this board game is about to get a bit nastier for pakistan. and i couldn't be more embarassed about the actions of the US or more worried for pakistan!
what climate change?

guess it might be easier to be complacent about the whole global warming thing if it just didn't hit so close to home!

Atheist nations are more peaceful
Atheist nations are more peaceful
now...before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, know this: i fully believe in an entity/enery/consciousness/supreme-type thingy
this makes me a theist! actually, as i have studied almost every known religion on the planet, a few not even still in practice, it might be safe to say i am a theophilus...i am also a philologist.
but when folk believe in their heart of hearts that their version of truth is the only one that is holy and that all other versions of truth are evil, it makes just about anything possible.
so read this and with an open mind understand, that the fact that atheist nations are more peaceful is not a reflection upon the existance of god.
why fukushima kids need protection
why fukushima kids need protection
the japanese government, the company that owns the flailing and toxic nuclear power plant at fukushima, and even the iaea seem not to care that the children of japan will be exposed to unsafe levels of various types of radiation from now on.
they have 'raised' the level considered 'safe' of these radioactive substances. but that little bit of politics doesn't raise the body's level of immunity to damage.
once can only hope that the sacrifice of their future health, and the spectacle of the present disaster may lead some to realize that nuclear energy is not really sustainable.
after all, who ever heard of a solar panel meltdown? or a wind farm disaster?
the world needs to realize that nuclear energy doesn't make sense when you realise all the troubling elements of what goes into boiling the water that is the generator for the electricity.
there's mining the heavy metals, resources that often require a geo-political polka (or war) to lay hands on.
there's the fact that, like oil, these metals aren't renewable.
there's the tendency of corporations to overlook safety concerns as a means to their profit margin.
there's the thousands of years of toxicity of the by products of nuclear energy and the fact that the more we make of nuclear waste, the more chance of disaster.
then there's natural disasters which cannot even be calculated while formulating equations..
all of our tomorrows will contain an element of danger because of the nuclear waste already in storage, and because of the nuclear powered plants still in operation. Einstein is probably *face palm* and saying "idiots!"

america becoming an idiocracy
america the stupid?http://www.commondreams.org
as an american who had to unlearn much of what was taught through high school, and then learn what was really true in university, this doesn't surprise me much.
many americans cannot afford to go to college. some don't finish high school.
the news is nothing more than an info-tainment propaganza of talking heads who often relegate fact checking to someone further down the road.
media is largely owned by the same interests that say what story is told. usually in three or four minute sound bites. so americans are used to thinking in sound bites, prefer entertainment to information and are easy prey to propaganda.
not their fault. since grade school the status quo of the dominant paradigm has molded the way the world is seen. the economic reality of all but the upper, let's say 25% is such that the leisure to self-educate is trumped by real world need to 'make a living'.
homeschooling my children gave them a bit of an edge. but once out of my clutches it is up to them to care enough to find sources of truth. and sometimes kids are far more interested in more immediate pleasures to pursue while they can.
this article i link to is far more clever than i am...but read it to the end and you'll realise why idiocracy can be lethal. then battle idiocracy on the homefront.
1: turn of the t.v.
most of what is presented is mindless crap, reality t.v. where folk battle for their fifteen minutes of fame (shame). news that is really the views of the corporations that control them and you. sitcoms that are just silly and of course, as expected in a police state, a whole host of police and law dramas.
2: research! it doesn't require university to google "scholarly research into mercury poisoning" , or "scholarly articles on the history of OPEC" remember to include the 'scholarly articles' or 'scholarly research' in order to get away from the lunatic fringe element of the internet
3: connect with nature and other human beings in real life. host a salon to exchange ideas about important issues of the day, go on a hike with a friend.
and enjoy the planet, while we have it!
