Looking forward to the screaming if...

Could the decaying MaCain / Palin campaign pull another one of those stunning regional Republican Diebold anomalies?
Against the discord of all the talk spurting from the faces of humanity and its insupportable "public" could they "win" yet another 4 years with a Florida or Ohio style rig or perhaps the endless avenues for electronically engineered fraudulent vote machine mayhem?
It's creepy theatre with a spooky cast, but imagine the croaking carcass MaCain and his ambitious gimmick running mate taking over the reigns of what is left of the United States from the Cheney/Bush Purge Cartel?

The glazed eyed shock troops from the War of Terror front have been brought home to control the hordes just in case they smell fraud on the wind, that burnt toast, having a stroke hotdog and garbage stench of fake "democracy" wafting out of the bloated and unavailing corporate media.
Will the masses move?

Canada: Drugs already in water
"Your readers should be aware that they are being prescribed in their water what is essentially a prophylactic drug for the purpose of preventing tooth decay.
This "drug" is hydrofluorosilicic acid (HFSA).
Ironically in this day of concern for the environment we are adding to our drinking water a highly corrosive toxic waste product that has never been tested for safety or effectiveness.
HFSA is taken from the scrubbers of the phosphate fertilizer plants.
It is contaminated with arsenic, lead and other heavy metals."

Canada's Failed States

Canada's government is in a failed state
"When the Allcons and the Libcons are pulling together you know they're cut from the same smelly rag."

Stephen Harper.
No Choice But An Election Now
"Your “major” press and media are telling you Canada is swinging from the chandeliers economically.
Everything is good. It isn’t.
Stephen Harper knows that.
His fundamentalist bosses in Washington have called in the soothsayers.
They have cut open crows and studied their innards.
They have cast horoscopes.
They have read the Tarot cards.
They have prayed at the tomb of Ronald Reagan."

Canada’s secret war in Iraq
"Most Canadians still proudly believe that their government refused to join the Iraq War.
Nothing could be further from the truth."

Canadian General Takes Senior Command Role in Iraq
"Despite the government's official position abstaining from combat in Iraq, Canada has dispatched yet another top general to the command group overseeing day-to-day operations for the U.S.-led occupation and counterinsurgency war."

Afghanistan: The Other "War for a Lie"
Europeans see what America cannot
"In fact, it's becoming evident that the cash-strapped U.S. needs the EU more than the EU needs the U.S.

If impassioned claims by U.S. and Canadian politicians that the little Afghanistan war must by won at all costs, then why don't they stop orating, impose conscription, and send 400,000 soldiers, including their own sons, to fight in Afghanistan?

Of course they won't.
They prefer to waste their own soldiers, and grind up Afghanistan, rather than admit this war against 40 million Pashtun tribesmen was a terrible mistake that will only get worse."

Ottawa Gets Advice On Prolonging The Afghanistan War
"The furore over the Manley report can only increase the number of Canadians who question the war’s aims and rationale.
Many more can be won to the view that the only principled and humanitarian end to the carnage is withdrawal of foreign occupation forces and recognition of the right of the Afghan people to freely determine their political future."

Murdering people from a distance in Iraq and Afghanistan
"Inside a secret high-tech control center the U.S. Air Force targets enemies in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But can they bomb them legally, and without killing innocents?"



NATO Genocide in Afghanistan

"NATO combat troops bombard and kill people in Taliban enclaves and meeting places.
They also murder defenseless Afghan civilians.
The dehumanized label of "Taliban" is used to cloak the nameless victims of NATO operations.
Some political opposition to this practice is building in NATO countries, such as Canada, where calls are heard to withdraw troops from Afghanistan or divert them to non-combat tasks."



Top US Lawyer And UNICEF Data Reveal Afghan Genocide

"The 0.5 million global US-NATO-linked opiate drug-related deaths plus 6.6 million post-invasion Afghan excess deaths bring an upper estimate of the carnage due to the US invasion and occupation of Afghanistan to 7.1 million deaths."

United States Air Force serving Afghani drug dealers

"Sources point out that interests of the Western military involved in trafficking out of Afghanistan
(usually by US military aviation) coincide with interests of Afghani chieftains who control poppy fields.

Afghani officials say that 85% of all drugs produced in southern and southeastern provinces are shipped abroad by US aviation."


‘Narco-renditions’ in Afghanistan
Trading with the Enemy

"While the international human rights organizations focused on the investigation of alleged CIA kidnapping and torture of al-Qaeda suspects and prisoners, they never paid any attention to a fair possibility that the infamous, secret and uncontrolled CIA “rendition flights” could be used to smuggle heroin from Afghanistan to Europe.

This is only an allegation, but perhaps some institutions of the European Union (EU) should pay serious attention to this other possible dark side of the CIA “renditions”.

On the Afghani side, it seems that the whole pro-Western administration of President Hamid Karzai, and also his two brothers, Kajum Karzai and Akhmed Vali Karzai, are head-to-heels involved in the narcotics trade."

No Peace to keep
Keep Pearson out of it

"After invading Afghanistan and toppling the government, Washington won UN authorization for the new government it installed, and for its ongoing intervention through NATO.

As a result, the U.S. presence in Afghanistan – like the one in Iraq – now has "a veneer of UN authority...
In addition to NATO forces in Afghanistan, there are another 13,000 U.S. troops under direct U.S. command.
This means that all troops serving in Afghanistan are ultimately under commander-in-chief George W. Bush, whose shadow looms large over the country."

"LEADER" SAYS


WAR FOR EMPIRE FOREVER

Piling on the years...
Tories won't promise Afghan combat role would end in "2011?"

"The Conservative government has refused to say whether Canadian troops will be pulled out of combat in Afghanistan in 2011 if Parliament votes to let their mission run until then."

Canada to pay danger premium to public servants in Afghanistan

"It is the first time Canada offers danger pay to its federal public servants in a war zone.
"The current challenges in recruiting and retaining qualified employees is particularly felt in areas where employees are confronted by a high level of risk and hardship," said Bujold.
"This incentive will support Canada's objectives in Afghanistan while these conditions persist."

"First set at seven minutes to midnight -- a phrase that has become part of pop culture -- the clock has been moved 17 times in response to global events.

It currently stands once again at seven minutes to midnight, the closest to danger since the end of the Cold War."

In 1996, in an interview on the American current affairs programme 60 Minutes, Madeleine Albright, then US ambassador to the UN, was asked: "We have heard that half a million children have died . . . is the price worth it?" Albright replied, "We think the price is worth it."

Wayne Madsen Report
January 2, 2007
Former President George H. W. Bush seems to be worried that the conclusions of the Warren Report may unravel soon. WMR has written in detail about the Bush connection to the assassins of President John F. Kennedy. Apparently, Poppy Bush decided it was important to use the Gerald R. Ford state funeral to "clear the air" (or Bush's own conscience) about the JFK assassination.
This is what the elder Bush had to say at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC during his eulogy of President Ford:
"After a deluded gunman assassinated President Kennedy, our nation turned to Gerald Ford and a select handful of others to make sense of that madness. And the conspiracy theorists can say what they will, but the Warren Commission report will always have the final definitive say on this tragic matter. Why?
Because Jerry Ford put his name on it and Jerry Ford’s word was always good."


Warren Commission and "conspiracy theorists" plague Bush Sr. at Ford funeral service.
Unlike Bush's "deluded gunman" Lee Harvey Oswald
(a New Orleans Civil Air Patrol colleague of George W. Bush's Texas Air National Guard pal James R. Bath), who remembered he was in the Texas School Book Depository lunch room on November 22, 1963 at "zero hour," the elder Bush cannot really remember where he was on November 22, 1963. He later claimed he was in Tyler, Texas although there is evidence that he was checked into the Dallas Sheraton Hotel that day.
Mr. Bush, the conspiracy theorists will continue to say what they will until you start telling the truth about Zapata, deMohrenshildt, Mongoose, New Orleans, and JM/WAVE.

israel desperately seeks war with Iran
no, really?
israel's wars seem omnipresent and in a constant state of excruciating and criminal acceleration. Hey remember them destroying the infrastructure of Lebanon with cluster bombs and “experimental” weapons as our government stood by and seemingly awaited orders from ? back in 2006?
It’s not that strange, really, as every media outlet in this country ignored the bombings and killing of well over a thousand Lebanese people in all of the “Top News Stories of 06” countdown shows but instead played up our latest global weather disasters as a “wacky” phenomenon to no end.
Well over a thousand dead, bombing-related environmental disasters and the exhaustion of a lot of American supplied weaponry.
It’s funny our media here only covered the “evacuation” drama starring the embarrassing Peter MacKay in any "year in reviews" that I noticed.
It helped all of the talking heads to dance around the real war crimes israel was/is undertaking.

Canadians dying over U.S. drug policy in Afghanistan

Canadians dying over U.S. drug policy in Afghanistan: report -CBC
(Plenty of Afghans dying as well)*

"While the 2,300 Canadian soldiers currently deployed in Afghanistan aren't directly involved in poppy eradication, they are seen as part of the U.S.-led effort, said the report.
Canada should step away from American policies on poppy farms and create its own policies to address the issue, said the council.
Afghanistan is responsible for 87 per cent of the world's supply of illegal opium, the United Nations estimates.
As many as 3.5 million Afghans are involved in the trade, which accounts for more than 50 per cent of the country's gross domestic product.
Most of that illegal opium ends up in Europe and the U.S. The report also said Canadian development initiatives in the country have failed because of the U.S.-led policies."

Canada: From one Empire to Another?
Rodrigue Tremblay June 25, 2006

"First, Bush slapped Canada in the face by approving a U.S. law that will require Canadian citizens to show their passport when crossing the border into the United States.

Second, the Harper government renewed the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) agreement with the United States, making it permanent, and adding maritime defense to the agreement, which previously covered only air defense. Some have argued that this arrangement will reduce Canadian sovereignty over the country's internal waters.

Third, the Harper government signed a preliminary Softwood deal with the Bush administration, designed to manage softwood trade between the two countries. A close analysis of the proposed agreement indicates that it is, at best, a mediocre deal for Canada.

Fourth, in a move that profoundly pleased the Bush administration, Harper announced that his conservative government would scrap the Kyoto protocol on climate change. Fifth, to make sure that it is in the good graces of G. W. Bush, Harper let it be known that he is 100 percent behind him in his gambit with Iran."

flashback:
The Fifth Afghan War
B. Cloughley - 29 / 30, 2005
"The repellent crime of burning bodies only adds to the list of evils committed in Afghanistan by the invaders. From the slaughter of wedding parties by indiscriminate bombing, to the torture and murder of absolutely innocent prisoners, and the killing of four Afghan policemen by US troops "by mistake" on October 18 there has been little but disaster.
(You didn't see anything in the US media about the police being killed.
Of course not. But Reuters reported it, noting that it was the second such incident in a week.) The result of all these atrocities has been strengthening of resistance to US forces and growing hatred of America."

Hey, Count Canada in!
It seems that's what our government has brought us, enjoy!

Distractions: Wheel of Time, Dowel Face, Purple Cart, and Kid Devo

While writing a post about our fearless leader doing his best W. Bush imitation posing with soldiers for photo-ops to sell the war in Afghanistan I realized I have been neglecting the distractions that make life not so homicidal…

An Introduction to the Kalachakra or Wheel of Time.


"Your profile captured forever in an object of art.
An optical illusion of shadow and light, each one unique because it’s you!"
Have your profile hand carved into a “Pirolette”.
This sort of reminds me of the impressions left when characters in old cartoons would bang into walls.


"Purple Cart" by A. Perrone
With endless war being sold to Canadians as a lifestyle accessory I would like to honour all of the heroic consumers on the home front.
From an exchange with a 20 something in a local store:
"Like, I just don’t follow that stuff… if there is a war it doesn’t affect me."
Man, war is hell, if you're paying attention...
I guess that's the key to undertaking multi-billion dollar, multi-generational lethal foreign occupations.Total public indifference.

WHY?

As a young spud in the awful 80's I was a big fan of techno/synth innovators Devo.
From Disney, the premiere purveyors of cultural sewage, comes Dev2.0.
I don’t think they’ll tackle any of Devo’s less than subtle lyrics like:
"I got a rocket in my pocket and I don’t know what to do,
Like a plug without a socket, I’m just waitin’ round for you…"
but I hear they do a cover of Devo’s ode to teen boy masturbation, “Uncontrollable Urge”.
More useless shit most definitely worthy of a WHY?

Justice in Vermont (With your Help)

Kisses for Grandma Rosemarie

"A citizen in United States should never expect to gain justice through the judicial system. The system is so corrupted that in the rare case when justice prevails, it is not because of, but it is in spite of, the system.”
Rosemarie Jackowski

We are posting this call to action today because a kind and decent woman needs your help. Rosemarie Jackowski is a 68-year-old grandmother/Air Force Veteran/writer/anti-war activist and an advocacy journalist living in Vermont.

"On March 20, 2003, I participated in a peaceful protest against the war. I was arrested, incarcerated, handcuffed, booked, fingerprinted, photographed, arraigned, tried, convicted and sentenced. My conviction is currently under Appeal in the Vermont State Supreme Court. Courtroom procedure allows the condemned the Right of Allocution. This was the first time that I was allowed to speak freely and openly to the court. Below are my words, as I spoke them, to Judge David Suntag, in Vermont District Court, in Bennington, Vt., on October 7, 2004."

A Courtroom Speech By Rosemarie Jackowski

To get an idea of where Rosemarie is coming from I would suggest you read the above article as well as:

"Silence is the greatest of all crimes"
An interview with Peace Grandma, Rosemarie Jackowski By author Mickey Z

The details of her protest trial can be found at the
Veterans for Peace website.

The idea of a jury steamrolling a grandmother for committing an act of civil disobedience is, unfortunately, not very surprising in America’s current political climate.
BUT…
That is not subject of today’s appeal to you. The current injustice facing this amicable woman has to do with her actions as a plaintiff stemming from a traffic accident in Vermont in the year 2000.
While waiting in a line of traffic she was rear ended by a loaded logging truck. Many eyewitnesses reported the truck driver was “distracted” by some young ladies on the roadside and clearly the negligent party in the accident. It would seem like a straightforward case but for the fact that the truck was owned and operated by the state of Vermont. It gets worse. It has taken FIVE YEARS for the government to even begin her deposition.

I urge you to read the horrific details of this matter in her recent article:

The Deposition By Rosemarie Jackowski

Being deposed by a government lawyer for a case where the State is the defendant is, no doubt, a rough ride. It would seem that the State of Vermont had an intimidation card up its sleeve when the lawyer’s questions began to stray far from the case at hand into the realm of Rosemarie’s political beliefs and very personal life. An excerpt from The Deposition:

"The big day arrived. I was taken into a small, windowless room in the state’s attorney’s office complex. I looked around. There was a one-way mirror opposite to where I was seated. There were some metal bookshelves with black garbage bags on them. It reminded me of Abu Ghraib.

I was told to raise my right hand and was sworn in. Then the interrogation by an assistant to the state attorney general began. She asked questions about my political activities… questions about my political writings. She had copied all of them from the Internet and waved them about with great emotion. She seemed excited by the fact that some of my articles had appeared on a web site that has a four-letter word in its name. Obviously, she thought that this would embarrass me. It did not. I calmly explained to her that I do not have a web site and I have no control over what name other people give to their web sites. I don’t know if she believed me or not.

Then the interrogation got even more interesting. She asked questions about my sex life. She asked questions about my marriage that had ended 35 years prior. Then she started to ask detailed questions about the fact that I had been the victim of a brutal rape. The rape, which is irrelevant to this case, had occurred 40, yes 40, years ago during a time when I was working in Florida. By now, it had become very clear to me what was happening. There was no doubt in my mind that this was an attempt to intimidate me."

Whether or not you agree with Rosemarie’s political beliefs they should not hold any bearing in her case against a State-owned trucking company that had caused her much physical anguish and financial devastation. As for the exceptionally private matters of sexual assault or divorce- the representative of the State of Vermont has gone too far!
This is not the progressive State that I have read about over the years. This is brutal.

We are appealing to you, dear reader, to take a few moments to write to one or all of the people listed below and join us in demanding a fair and equitable conclusion to this rather straightforward case of negligence on the part of an employee of the State of Vermont.
The harassment and obfuscation by the assistant to the state attorney general and the dragging out of this otherwise uncomplicated matter are Justice delayed and Justice denied.

Speaker of the State House, Gaye Symington: speaker@leg.state.vt.us

Governor of the State of Vermont, Jim Douglas: http://www.vermont.gov/governor/contact.html

Thank you very much.

Canada’s Winter Election Campaign: You would think having all that smoke blown up your ass would warm the winter chill…

Fake "Liberal", Big Pauly Martin

Just a quick rundown of the political situation in my fair Canuckistan.
Having been absent from the blog for a long while, a game of “catch up” is now being undertaken.
Over the next few days and weeks I will examine specific issues presented by the various parties and apply my personal perspective to them...

We really need a fixed election date in this country and oh yes, I hate Paul Martin.

Having said those two things I would still rather see another Liberal minority, (with a strong NDP presence), than a rise to power of the Reform Alliance Neoconservatives, (They logically dropped the “Progressive” from their party moniker because the word simply does not apply to the old Progressive Conservative party that has been swallowed by the right wing Western Separatist Reform Movement).
Aside from the socially liberal aspects of the "Liberal" party their fiscal policies are more like the Neocon's than either party would want us to believe.
A mere 17 months after the last minority government was elected we are forced by the naked ambitions of Steve Harper (and the separatist Bloc in Quebec), to endure a Christmas/winter campaign that will be one of the longest in a quarter century.

Having done NOTHING but drone endlessly about the Liberal's Quebec scandal while attempting to force an election in their entire time as the official opposition the Neoconservatives have finally shut down the Parliament (putting an end to all bill passages)and thus marked their only accomplishment in the minority house, (Unlike the NDP who worked the minority government and gained much needed funding for social programs by supporting a "Liberal"/NDP budget that included their socially conscious concessions.)

These Neoconservatives were so obsessed with obtaining power that they had no qualms about shutting down Ottawa and dragging the nation into a premature campaign that is most likely to result in the same house configuration as now (with perhaps a few minor tweaks). They just couldn’t wait for the February election promised by Big Pauly.
I guess that privatizing healthcare, cutting taxes (even more than the “Liberals” already have promised) for millionaires and corporations and involving Canada in more military occupations,(than the "Liberals" already have) abroad is just too important to these 1950’s throwbacks.
