EXCERPT: Welcome to Orwell’s World 2010
By John Pilger
December 30, 2009 - "Information Clearing House" -- In Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell described a superstate called Oceania, whose language of war inverted lies that “passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past’, ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past’.”
Barack Obama is the leader of a contemporary Oceania. In two speeches at the close of the decade, the Nobel Peace...

EXCERPT: Something's not right here. One year after the great collapse of our financial system, Wall Street is back on top while our politicians dither. As for health care reform, you're about to be forced to buy insurance from companies whose stock is soaring, and that's just dandy with the White House.Truth is, our capitol's being looted, republicans are acting like the town rowdies, the sheriff is firing blanks, and powerful Democrats in Congress are in cahoots with the gang that's pulling...

EXCERPT: Thought you might be interested in these articles: Thom Hartmann discussed global wage equalization on 1480KPHX this AM.  Over the last seven decades this has been one of the objectives by our leadership, but it has morphed from the global wages moving up substantially to accomplish that end to American wages moving down substantially to accomplish that end. Here are secret memos leaked from a secret organization with global reach over the last fifty...

EXCERPT: The US has spent OVER 1 trillion dollars since 9/11, creating and fostering terrorism in the Middle East.
From the original 5000 al-Qaeida terrorists there are LESS THAN 100 left in Afghanistan, NOW there are some 25,000 Taliban we are NOW fighting as terrorists. Let's see from 5000 to 25000 in 8 years..... Let's see from 5000 to 25000 in 8 years.....
Insurgents, they are called, "revolting against government".Yes, they are revolting against a foreign government - OURS....And the...

EXCERPT: Postie's teabag waving on the heels of the Senate vote on its Health Care Reform Bill is one step ahead of the Whackadoodle pundit chest-thumping proclaiming the national economy a safe haven for collusion in the health insurance sector while the daily death toll mounts because folks can't afford the premiums for health insurance.  Postie may be excused because he can't see beyond his letter-sorting machine whereas the obstructionist GOPhers and the...

EXCERPT: Must have missed that.

EXCERPT: From today's email -- an opportunity for each of us to share our messages of goodwill and prayers for peace as we approach Christmas.
June --
As we celebrate the holiday season, I wanted to say thank you for making 2009 a year for the history books when it comes to America's progress.
This holiday season, let's show President Obama that we support him just as strongly as we did on Inauguration Day.
Please sign our Holiday Card to President Obama and the First Family and...

EXCERPT: Hey, I've got an idea - let's open the gates to the base at GTMO, open the cages and leave GTMO and the internees behind. Cuba is the one place that cannot refuse the internees (GTMO is Cuban territory, leased to the U.S.) because they are already in Cuba. Guantanamo Bay - CNIC | Commander Navy Installations Command A 1934 treaty, reaffirming the lease, granted Cuba and her trading partners ... For more on GTMO's history see: History of U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay ... ...

EXCERPT: Maybe the title of this gem should be "Bush Sewed the Wind; Obama Reaps the Whirlwind".    I’m not defending the @^#&#^@&!* gutless wonders in the legislative branch, Republicon or Dimocrat.  But …     … those idiots among us that are now disowning their own complicity in the Bush Regime’s American tragedy and who claim that after 11 short months President Obama should have it all fixed are full...

EXCERPT: December 21st, 2009, a day that will live in disgrace.
Last night or rather early this morning, a procedural vote set the stage for the biggest rip off in history. It wasn't a train full of gold bound for the city by the bay to be minted into coins, and it wasn't Wall Street manipulating the stock prices to pull billions from Uncle Sam. And believe it or not, it wasn't even the Federal Reserve, who can operate in the darkness without consent of the people or their representatives in...
