Like everything govt does, Bundy war is really all about oil

BLM fracking racket exposed! Armed siege and cattle theft from Bundy ranch really about fracking leases
http://www.naturalnews.com/044670_BLM_lies_fracking_leases_Bundy_ranch.html#ixzz2yaAHVynE

Admittedly, the real answer to the fracking problem is for people (including me) to use less gas, fewer individual plastic grocery bags etc. -- and for the fedgov to start buying other countries' oil instead of killing their women and children and our troops.

Since we're so profligate as consumers, finding enough oil to keep us happy becomes a serious problem. I wouldn't want to be in the position of having to account for an ever-growing supply, especially as China and the BRICS countries take up our entire throwaway society shtick.

It came later than most people might think, and it's more deadly than they know.

Those brilliant Japanese.... how could they be so dumb

The Japanese Sales Tax Hike Verdict Is In: It's A Disaster As Sales Plunge 25%
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-04-09/japanese-sales-tax-hike-verdict-its-disaster-sales-plunge-25

Both follies are well familiar to us here in SC -- they've been tried, tinkered with, and endured by numerous states and jurisdictions. In my humble opinion, any call by politicians to raise taxes are an admission that they're total failures at the specific job they're hired to do -- keep us free and solvent in real terms, and make us ever more so.

Similarly, my personal view is that any government that claims it has to launch an offensive war (including the "war on terror" is telling us that the real, peaceable and orderly American way of life has died under their tenure, another massive admission of guilt and incompetence (or corruption) by these pols. Considering ameriKa supports its military to the tune of twelve figures but still couldn't save us from a handful of jets being hijacked by Ayrab terr'ists.... Well, they're really telling us that their element should be in some other line of work and all the money we've put into "defense" all these years has been a waste.

Let's be honest! Politicians aren't deific beings that waft omnisciently hither from the sky full of grace and truth. They're only human -- and some of them are actually dishonest, even corrupt.

The full truth of ameriKa's lifelong war addiction (warning: BAD news)

....from the beginning -- starting with the guys in wigs, in brilliant, crushing comic book form. Warning: not for the faint-hearted.

Addicted to War

I like good comics! I have three or four triple Garfield paperbacks, partly because of creator Jim Davis' unique, indefinable brilliance in illuminating not only feline but human nature through the main character. And I've come across a few great expositions of political truth done via comics, notably Politics is a Dirty Word, by the unbeatable combination of Dick Hafer and Dale Crowley. Comics are a tremendous way to get major truths across to people in an era where they simply don't want to read books or pamphlets anymore.

The above booklet is from a left-populist viewpoint and only mentions the key factor of Israel once, but don't let that deter you from going the distance with it. If you hate the "new world order" this is your chance to latch onto the most devastating indictment of it under one cover in history. It's crammed with actual quotes from the perpetrators and clever visuals, including bleak photographs of the civilian victims of our aggressions.

Please note that from over a century ago one of the main motivations for all this killing was that American manufacturers had reached the limit in selling their consumer goods domestically, and in concert with the politicians' drive to make ameriKa a monstrous bully the whole world would fear, went in search of other populations to addict to Coca-Cola, Kleenex, electric fans et al.

The facts and quotes (and some great caricatures) ranged in the above resource may convince you that ameriKa has been evil, rapacious, genocidal from the start. If so, you're perhaps a sadder but wiser citizen for it. When I think how casually I've taken all this myself it pleasantly ruins my life all over again. I believed the "liberal" media's praise for Bush-41 and voted for him. I was political 25 years ago, but would drive past Fort Detrick while visiting friends among the dairy farms in that part of Maryland and not entertain a thought that it was up to anything sinister, much less shockingly evil.

So much for Mr. Reagan's "shining city on a hill" -- the only shine was from the casings of bullets and soldiers' spit-shined shoes. We're not the new Jerusalem -- we're the new Mongols, and have coincidentally lasted about as long as Genghis Khan and Timur's reign of terror over Eurasia. 

We're bad, and that's not good. But to me, the very refreshing and cleansing part is knowing all the more clearly what's wrong with us, and that somebody somewhere would take the trouble to chart it so creatively and forcefully yet sensitively.

Please share this link with somebody today.

What makes Al Sharpton run?

He hit the public arena with a bang at the time of race controversies the System deliberately churned up in greater Zoo York. Both subjects turned out to be frauds, as has the extremely offensive blow-dried Reverend. A quarter-century has passed since all that, and to ameriKa's shame, the treacherous subjects have been forgotten.... while Al baby has gone on to massive bogus stardom.  

But who knew he was a mob snitch, etc.? What else does he have up his sweaty sleeve?

Al Sharpton's Secret Work As FBI Informant

Isn't it comforting to know that he practically lives at the White House? Surely you feel more secure and happy knowing that unindicted criminals walk the same floors as Adams, Jefferson and Madison.

In my studied opinion, that's exactly what Obie and his friends are -- criminals. Nothing's going to change until we start calling things what they are.

Washington is openly Stalinist

Pity this brave gentleman for believing that ameriKa is a free country.

The CEO who said "No" to the NSA : "It's illegal, it's unconstitutional"

It's hard to think of a single political persuasion that should not be revolted by this news. All Americans claim to want and enjoy freedom, so even Dummacrats should find it a matter of grave concern when an honest paragon of free enterprise is persecuted, given a show trial and jailed for exercising his lawful option not to participate in NSA volunteer work.

It's Stalinist -- it's Leninist -- it's socialist -- it's communist. It's tyrannical, dictatorial, predatory, vicious, and extremely scary -- just like Washington and a whole lot of other jurisdictions in this country these days.

It is also classically terrorist. Terrorism is where you abuse a few to frighten the many into submission and compliance.

Don't you think?

A first in citizen protest?

Hillary's Upcoming California Appearance Disrupted By Protestors
http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2014/04/03/Hillarys-Upcoming-California-Appearance-Disrupted-By-Protestors

So often protest means absolutely nothing to its targets. The smugness of the extreme rich and famous, their state of conviction as to their own perfection is invulnerable to the opinions of the rube citizens they supposedly work for. Just earlier today a link came through showing citizens hollering at Algore as he exits an event where he's just been worshiped anew, gets in the back seat of his opulent "ride", and is driven off. He even waves smugly at his critics.

Thus it's startling news when the queen of self-satisfaction, Hellary Clinton, shows some iota of concern or aversion to greeting the sheeple on this basis. For her to cancel an appearance.... well, it must indicate that either she's as worn out has rumored (maybe even sick as alleged) or that she's honestly feeling the heat of public disgust with her and is bothered by it.

For her to prove sensate, well, that would be a miracle. I believe in miracles, but am ever in need of more evidence.
