appearances down under

h/t Ann El Khoury

Okay. Maybe I'm gonna get bashed for my "innocence" here, but something tells me that America will not continue to stand for this. Clearly, the "war" is just putting some rubes in as targets for Iraqi ire while the oil company bases are tricked out. While they have been relying on our unwillingness to ever believe such a thing to get it done, I'm not so sure they even believe they can keep it up under the American flag. It strikes me that, especially with Haliburton moving to Qatar, they will not need the American flag that long. They already have massive military equipment and installations they can man with a private militia. There can be no doubt that they have moved nukes there already. We have even seen some mini-nukes set off by targeting a certain sector of a base. Even with the Democrats ever more apparently buying-in to their filthy plan, I feel as though the force of popular sentiment is close to boiling over in favor of getting to this global warming thing, and our administration is not going to be able to keep that shit up. Maybe I'm wildly underestimating the extremes of mass doltishness here, but it seems more likely to me that we've just been looted to set up the oil barons' last stand. The "empire" may very well be based in Doha, not D.C.; that Paraguay is being turned into a paradise because * will not be able to keep living here after his White House gig. And... maybe I should be a novelist... could even be that they're not impeaching because they've already been assured there will be less destruction overall if they just sit on it till January 2009. Sorry, but the perfidy here is way too thick even for America, so this stuff can't help but spring to mind. I've been wanting to whine for a liberation army to land here for years, and this really could be why.

Women really are the other half of the sky.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
—Ronald Reagan

Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
—Martin Luther King

We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked.

Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them.
—Old Uncle Dave

As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country.
—Pat Buchanan

Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids.
—Scott Horton

There has to be altruism in the universe.
—Frank Drake

The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome.
—Paul Craig Roberts

I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court.
—Cynthia McKinney

No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."
—Chris Floyd

The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below.
—Howard Zinn

...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable.

· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.

· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.

· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.

Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further.
—Ted Rall

As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil.
—Terry Eagleton

Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice.
