For those that wish for an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities Send this to your Congressman.
Dear Sen./Cong.__________,
Please launch an immediate large scale air campaign and ground invasion of those nuclear terrorists in Iran. They are after all an existential threat to the state of Israel, even though they pose no threat whatsoever to the rest of the civilized world. That’s the world (the civilized one) that doesn’t bomb, kill and invade other Middle Eastern and European countries seeking regime change.
There will be a problem however for you lawmakers and heads of state like President Obama and PM Cameron, when they try to explain how the massive retaliation by Iran destroyed most of Israel and caused a major nuclear incident when an Iranian retaliatory missile strike destroyed the Negev nuclear reactor at Dimona and Israel’s nuclear weapons repository, causing a massive nuclear incident that most likely will destroy Israel and incinerate couple of million Israelis. Good luck on that.
And then of Course the Congress and Obama will have to explain to the American people how the Iranians sank at least one US aircraft carrier and numerous other capital warships with an anti-ship cruise missile defense network that has no known defense against it, resulting in the deaths of thousands of American seamen and Marines and of hundreds of billions of dollars in material battle losses.
Then of course you members of congress will have to explain how all of our US bases in the Gulf region were hit with a massive Iranian MRBM counterattack as result of Israel’s initial strike, destroying many of them and killing thousands more American servicemen stationed at them.
Come to think of it, you lawmakers may see your congressional shelf life expire immediately after an attack on Iran and the lot of you guys may have to start looking for a hole to climb into for your own safety. It will probably be the end of any President’s or Prime Minister’s time in office also.
Maybe that is what our country needs is an entirely new political class elected that will abide by their oaths to the US Constitution and return the America to the Nation’s (however mythical that may have been) past glory of freedom and equality and a powerhouse of economic success.
So by all means Sen/Cong.__________start the air and ground campaign against Iran immediately. We will not wait around for your letters of resignation as you will not have time to write them. Best wishes in the new country you will have to find in order to hide from the rest of us. Your hides won’t be worth much if you stay here.
Truly yours,
etc. etc. etc.

If Israel has determined that it is fair game to destroy all of Iran’s nuclear installations why is it not fair game for Iran to retaliate in kind?
Israel must realize that to attack Iran’s nuclear reactor which is operational and producing power will bring and instant retaliatory missile response from Iran. Are they just stupid or oblivious to the consequences of their ill conceived rhetoric and threats? I’m trying to figure out which bunch in tel Aviv or Washington are dumber, the Israelis or the US members of Congress and the pentagon.
In another blatant display of breathtaking stupidity, General Keane and other high pentagon and intelligence officials testified before Congress in October that they should assassinate a number of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s generals as they opined that the only thing Iran understands is when we shoot some of them. Say what?
There was an immediate response from Amir Ali Hajizadeh Iran’s Revolutionary Guard General that replied that “if they kill one of us we will kill dozens of them.”
Now did not the morons in both the Pentagon and congress expect that publicly threatening to assassinate high level officials in another country, especially one that we have been fucking with for years, might actually want to whack the guys back that are threatening to waste them? Even the dumbest organized crime figures can calculate that prospect.
It will be real interesting to hear the response from Hilary (she’s also on board regarding assassinating Iranian generals) and the other assholes running their mouths about shooting some high level Iranians to get their attention. They can’t possibly come back and say we are justified in assassinating your guys but you’re not supposed to do ours, and neither can the Israelis cry if Dimona is targeted for destruction in retaliation?
That will have the Iranians and the rest of the world rolling on the ground with laughter. How do these guys in Washington (and Israel) dream this shit up?

There’s the “New Military All Volunteer Force” and then there is the old military of thirty-five years ago, the old military that was all but destroyed by the Vietnam War. The huge difference was there was a draft that functioned because young men believed it was their duty to serve. That changed after a few years of the Vietnam experience. In fact not only did young men refuse to be inducted but it was almost mutiny on many levels by those serving. It has never recovered from being used as brutal and murderous method of spreading globalism and world hegemony.
The GW-1 vets may recall remnants of the “Old Military” as some of it’s past glory had survived but GW-2 and Afghanistan vets do not. They are the sons of the “Old Military” Vietnam Vets like myself and I watched the change to the “New Military” and it was/is not pretty. My last two years spent (in the Old Military)was as a recruiter at the very beginning of this transition to the “All Volunteer Service” as the draft ended.
The New Military from my experience now consists of mercs and a wide range of social engineering programs like gender norming, gay and lesbian acceptance and an entire plethora of touchy-feely crap that plays well for modern day recruiters and of course the Congressional money managers.
However, sooner or later the “New Military” would be called to do what military organizations are supposed to do, kill people and blow shit up. This is where our new military shines. They have indoctrinated a large segment of our kids into becoming psychopaths and some just down right killers. Assassination and torture are now mainstays of of military (and political) policy. All that touchy feely shit they say they are teaching seems to have a short shelf life once these kids are deployed. You can tell what it’s doing to them by the amount of suicides (the highest ever) among the lower ranking enlisted men. The extreme mental problems tare evident in those that survive and the out of control crime rates around all of our military bases once they return to “the World.”
I remain very proud of my eight years spent in uniform in the “Old Military.” The “New Military” that I served in briefly however, not so much!

An Embarassment of Riches.
Around the time the Soviet Union collapsed and Yeltsin was installed as President of Russia, Russian scientists in the oil and gas industry made a fantastic observation.
What were thought to be old, played out oil wells in the Siberian Fields had somehow been Mysteriously refilled with crude and gas. Well after well confirmed this discovery to be fact. These dried out old wells were again viable as sources of crude and revenue.
The Russians surmised that these relatively shallow wells were being replenished by a much deeper source of crude and that this major source of crude oil was actually forming new oil at these tremendous depths.
The Russians immediately declared these findings as state secrets and set about to develop safe and effective super deep drilling technology to extract this bonanza. It looks like they may have found these techniques because Russia is the second largest exporter of oil after Saudi Arabia and no accidents.
American oil companies discovered the same refilling of played out wells in the Gulf of Mexico shortly thereafter. They too saw the enormous potential for inexhaustible sources of crude but it was a dangerous discovery as the whole "Peak Oil Myth" they had cultivated over the years would be destroyed and the price of oil would plummet. Best not let the knowledge of that embarrassment of riches escape to the general public.
When Russia refused to sell interests in there own oil giants to the Americans (and locked up the Russian Oligarchs that bought them from Yeltsin) US oil giants (and BP) were deprived of this Russian, advanced deep well drilling technology. That was not going to stop BP though.
Even money says BP (and probably others) attempted to duplicate what the Russians were doing to get at this mother load of inexhaustible crude oil sources more than a mile below the sea bed.
It looks like they did in the Gulf of Mexico but weren't as smart as the Russians and they inadvertently released an enormous, unstoppable source of crude oil and Methane that is contaminating the entire region.
Their only option now is to devise technology to contain this source and keep pumping it into tankers or pipeline it to an offshore terminal until they can figure out a way to stop the flow and that could take years.
Just think for a moment what this enormous, unstoppable, continuous flow of hundreds of thousands of barrels of crude daily will do to the price of crude oil on the world and domestic markets?
It reminds me of the Walt Disney Cartoon Classic, The Sorcerers Apprentice where the apprentice got lazy and conjured up some magic to bring buckets of water so as to scrub his master's floor. But not being as accomplished a sorcerer as his master, soon found he could not control the buckets of water being poured on the floor and flooded the entire palace and surrounding area. It took his master's return to stop the out of control magic that was flooding his home.
I wonder if those BP guys ever watched any Disney Movies?

The Capo de Capo
Obama is going to make up for not cutting deep enough in discretionary spending or reining in the Pentagon ($400.00/gal gas from Kuwaiti contractors, 200 overseas bases and two wars one of which is longest in US history) by destroying Medicare and Social security. But not to worry, our republican friends in Congress are going to help him do it. In fact I believe it’s their idea.
Both parties keep claiming that Medicare and Social Security are “unfunded entitlements” and they are the cause of the largest part of the budget deficit. This of course is an unmitigated lie.
I’m looking at a letter from Social Security that states my wife alone and her employer has contributed $30 thousand dollars to the Social Security Trust Fund and a slightly lesser amount to Medicare, and still a few years of working before collecting any benefits.
Bernie Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont that often votes with both republicans and democrats, stated publicly on a major network only a few days ago, that the Social Security Trust Fund is flush and contains $4.3 Trillion, trillion with a T, enough to pay out all the SS benefits due for the next 27 years. He claims these two government run programs are in no way responsible for any part of the budget deficit.
Then we have Mitch McConnell, the republican minority leader in the Senate lying through his teeth on Face the Nation yesterday by claiming that Social Security funding will have a $50 billion shortfall for this year alone.
He may not be far wrong as the Congress has been stealing billions from the SS trust fund regularly for decades ever since the Johnson administration. They just grab the cash, stuff an IOU in the fund’s coffers and hoped we wouldn’t notice.
Well we have. So now to keep from honoring these IOUs, these Congressional thieves and their accomplices at Goldman Sachs want to turn over all these trillions (and the IOUs) to Wall Street in a ponzi scheme they are calling privatization. The Goldman Sachs boys running the treasury now will not honor these IOUs to make sure retiree’s are paid their benefits, but they will make damn sure Goldman and the Wall Street moneychangers will get these IOUs honored once they get their moneygrubbing hands on it, with taxpayer dollars.
These crooks as usual are too clever by half. This two year taxpayer holiday for the middleclass worker (the Obam alleged tax break) is another handout for the same wealthy corporate crooks. The tax break law say that Social Security deductions will not be withheld from worker’s paychecks for the next two years, a strange way to deal with an, ahem, $50 billion Social Security Trust Fund deficit.
However, here’s the part they thought we wouldn’t figure out. Corporations will not have to contribute their half to the Social Security Trust fund either, obviously allowing the corporate thieves to pocket billions in unpaid SS contributions that should have gone to the SS Trust Fund and to the retirees. What the hell, it worked for all those corporate pension funds that disappeared like say Enron and the big three automakers, why not for the largest, most efficiently run and flush government retirement fund in he world, Social Security and Medicare. A veritable bonanza as far as Wall Street heists are concerned, the banker bailots are chump change when compared to the trillions of $ in the SS Trust Fund.
Those Wall Street bankers and Goldman Sachs are literally drooling at the prospect of getting their hands on this pension fund in the same way they stole GM, Chrysler and Ford’s worker’s retirement funds. Just imagine all the multi-million dollar bonus’ these banksters can pay out to each other with all that Social Security, Pension Fund largess.
All Obama had to do was have the big three automakers declare bankruptcy, pay off the union and lavish the corporate executives with golden parachutes (bribes) and Presto, no more worker retirement benefit liability. Oh, also move the car companies offshore so the corporate crooks can screw their new Third World workers even more. Talk about compound profit making.
Stealing the Social Security trust fund and giving it to Wall Street will even be easier. After all, you have a Congress (both parties) and a President that will be happy to do it with crooked legislation and executive orders in spite of our objections. After all, they must figure we won’t be around much longer anyway, and by the time our kids are ready for retirement, a government run retirement fund wont exist.
The Democrats and the Republicans run the largest organized crime syndicate in the world. Obama is their Capo. If the sorry field of Republican contenders for Obama’s replacement isn’t sent packing and some decent and honest candites are fielded, it’s a sure bet both parties want Obama to remain Capo de Capo.

Hmmmmmmm! "Who, but a madman
Hmmmmmmm! "Who, but a madman, would fight for the right to incite violence?"
Let's see now what other reasons could possibly incite violence? Could it be the Patriot Act, Warrant less searches and wiretapping, TSA groping and naked body scanners soon to be deployed to not only airports but shopping malls, bus terminals and sporting events.
Two or more illegal wars that are being expanded, bleeding the US white. Tax breaks for millionaires and attacks on Social Security. Mandatory ObamaCare with the threat of fines and jail for non-compliance. Legalized torture and assassinations of American citizens. Millions of home forclosures by banks with phony forclosure documents. Millions of manufacturing jobs and the plants, going to third world cesspools for slave labor with interest free loans and tax breaks given our government to move there. This in order to level the (worker's pay and benefits) playing field and worship the global economy. Add a trillion dollar bailout of Wall street so they can continue giving themselves million dollar bonuses while the average American is jobless at a well over 15% rate.
What other reasons could possibly be driving people over the edge other than toxic rhetoric?
Oh I know, if people in this country are kept dumb enough where they are ignorant at how badly they are being represented in Washington, they will remain docile obedient fools for our elite masters that control almost every aspect of the average American's life.
Let's now pass laws that restrict toxic rhetoric and hateful speech but let us make sure we never address the real issues that are driving guys like this kid insane. Yea, That's the ticket!

Reinventing the Medical Care Wheel
Reinventing the Medical Care Wheel
We already have a single payer medical plan. It's Called Medicare and it works, it's in place and very little would need to be done to streamline and modify it to cover the 40 million uninsured Americans that now have to rely on charity or other welfare medical coverage. It would not take much effort by the Congress to clean up any inefficiencies or corrupt practices Medicare has now.
But noooooooo! Obama's pals in the insurance industry are drooling for those 40 million uninsured that they can hose unmercifully along with the rest us to make those Wall Street Insurance companies richer than they are now. Talk about welfare for the rich.
These scum bag Wall Street boys are probably already spending those million dollar bonuses they'll be giving themselves when the mandates kick in 2014.
And don't think the Republicans are off the hook on this scam simply because they are going to stage a dog and pony show and then a phony vote on repeal of ObamaCare. It is documented that the Wall street insurance oligarchs gave the republican members of congress millions more in bribes than they gave to their democrat accomplices to shove this corporate welfare scam down our throats.
This whole issue could become moot when the Supreme Court rules the law (ObamaCare) is just plain unconstitutional. Congress just does not have the authority under the law to force Americans to purchase products goods or services from a Private corporation. The Commerce Clause will have finally run out of elasticity.
The old progressive rant about the states have the authority (you will notice I said "states") to force drivers to buy auto insurance is true, but not the federal government. The states are the sole authority for driving regulations and licensing, not the federal government. Besides, if you don't make the conscience decision to drive, you are not required to have insurance. Is this true with Obama Care? I think not. What could a person possibly decide to opt out of, life?
So there you are. All of you progressive commies looking for socialized medicine had better start recalibrating your wish lists.
What is really needed is a serious debate on putting the insurance industry, the pharmaceuticals and the for profit hospitals on a short, regulatory leash with heavy fines and penalties for slipping it.
And guess what, it's the states that have the lion's share of the regulatory power over the insurance and the other thieves there also, not the federal government.
