I hear they resurrected their "Crap Email From A Dude" series.
Think instead of "the ones we want setting the US agenda" and "the ones that we don't." THE ONES THAT WE DONT WANT slime the corridors of power regardless of whether or not a Democrat or a Republican holds the office of President. The sooner we face this reality the sooner we can do something about it.
Remember, the "NeoCons" started out ast the spawn of the Bolsheviks and hailed from the Democratic party until the 1980's when they jumped parties and called themselves "conservative" despite the fact that there was nothing truly conservative about them.
Ones you loathe, the Ones who inspire your righteous vitriol, jumped ship from the Republican Party during the summer of 2007, leaving out a hollowed out remnant of "whiners" trying to rebuild itself into a viable opposition party.
Late July 2007, I do recall the week, when Darth Cheney reluctantly turned the 5th Fleet around and decided not to bomb the snot out of Iran . . . for now. Almost as if on cue the inside-the-beltway NeoCon think tanks started calling Hillary Clinton “presidential.” They bet on the the wrong horse, but today the “stealth neocons” still slime the corridors of Power as the Clintonista faction in the Obama cabinet.
Follow the Spawn of the Bolsheviks as they party hop and you'll never be confused about so called "bipartisanship."
A combination of extortion and bribes. Everything makes sense then.
I'd call our politicians paid whores, but to do so would probably be an insult to sex workers, so I will refrain.
ZOMG911~~ Camille Paglia! For a moment I found myself actually 1) understanding, and 2) agreeing with this woman, which frankly alarmed me. Then she meandered into the barely coherent crazy talk and tortured logic: "And THAT, my dears, is why we should bomb Iran." . . . and the world jumbled back into place. Camille Paglia: Still pretentious, paranoid and cuckoo after all these years. Whew; I thought it was me.
I canceled my cable subscription two months ago and now I get NO reception. Know what? I don't miss a thing; in fact I've GAINED peace of mind.
What set me over the edge one night was not network news (which I'd stopped watching long ago, because the "readers" just plain LIE), but CABLE news, which believe it or not is just as bad (case in point: Its 24/7 coverage of a sexual affair by a political has-been during the Russia/Georgia conflict). The station that sent me clear over the "edge" turned out to be CNN.
Kudos to Mr. Greenwald for not letting up. The Corporatocracy does not have our best interests in mind, PERIOD, and that includes MSNBC, the harmless and toothless "controlled opposition." I figure there is no point to paying a cable subscription just to catch Jon Stewart on the Daily Show. I can catch my truth - and the Daily Show - for FREE on the internet.

Mr. Greenwald: You want to go down the rabbit hole? Try chasing down the reason why the FBI won't investigate Dr. Philip Zacharias (sp?), also known as Dr. Zack.
Everyone following the case knows he's likely the one who did it. Dr. Ivins worked for Dr. Zack at one point. Right before the anthrax attacks Dr. Zack was caught on security cam removing a sample during a time in which he was NOT supposed to be there (he'd just been fired for a racially motivated attack against an Egyptian coworker, Dr. Assad).
Later, Dr. Zack tried to frame Dr. Assad for the Antrax attacks. Dr. Assad was cleared of suspicion, but Dr. Zack was never investigated. Or if he was, the FBI isn't talking. No media outlet even mentions Dr. Zack's name despite the fact there's tons of evidence sufficient to place him under suspicion. WHY?
This stinks to high heaven. Over at Huffington Post discussions about Dr. Zack are deleted. WHY?
I'm not even a journalist but even I know that ABC was the first major US media outlet that was taken over by the CIA, back in the 1940s or 50's. Google Operation Mockingbird. Why anybody believes a word ABC says, ever, is beyond me. Actually by now I think that of all TV news outlets. If they tell me it's raining I look out my window to see if they're lying again.
Also, I've also gone through a couple of pages of comments and WHERE is the discussion about Dr. Philip Zack? You know, the guy who'd JUST been fired for a racially motivated attack against Dr. Assad, the first guy (an Egyptian scientist) they tried to pin this on. Dr. Zack was on the security tape that showed him in the anthrax lab, removing a sample at a time when he was NOT authorized to be there. Because he'd been fired.
"Death to Israel." HELLO? Que BONO? This. Is. NOT. Hard.

Ron Paul dropped out of the presidential race with $5,000,000 still in the bank. "Ron Paul for Treasury!"
Anyway, he's devoting 100% of it to fighting for the Constitution, and the Campaign for Liberty is his new website.
One does not need to be a conservative to climb on board the Liberty train. The Paulistas are strange bedfellows indeed, but today we can't afford to be partisan as our Republic is at stake.
Bottom line: This fight is no longer about Republicans vs. Democrats. It's about patriots and traitors.
. . . after all he advises Hillary, too. He's an equal opportunity advisor for anyone sympathetic to the warmongering neocon cause.
