The Road Map to Martial Law
The Road Map to Martial Law It has taken 60 years to carefully prepare contingency plans for martial law in the United States. It began with the Japanese internment camps during World War II and has grown like a tropical rain forest ever since. The final nail in the coffin has been hammered in during the Bush Administration with the systematic dismantling of the Constitution. Now each and every one of us can be considered a terrorist at the whim of the government or...

The form of government i believe in...Hasn't been invented yet..
I like communism but only for China....what i like is a mixture of communism and democracy....The form of government i like hasn't been invented yet...

Paranoid? You Betcha!
In the late 60's and early 70's there were hundreds of thousands of people who took to the streets to protest the Viet Nam War. The Nixon government response at the time was very similar to the government response to dissent today. The FBI infiltrated student groups opposed to the war, marched in demonstrations with them and took pictures of demonstrators. Backgrounds were scrutinized and files were kept. There were probably illegal phone taps as well. The...

China beats to death 50,000 dogs ..rabies crackdown
A friend emailed me a heads up on this. Seems to me that a government as autocratic as the China has who provides everything for its people (cough, hack!!) would also supply free rabies vaccinations as part of public health policies. Hey it's the correct thing to do since they control every aspect of everyone's lives. Only goes to show you that a governmen...

time to go-inside the worst congress ever
There is very little that sums up the record of the U.S. Congress in the Bush years better than a half-mad boy-addict put in charge of a federal commission on child exploitation. After all, if a hairy-necked, raincoat-clad freak like Rep. Mark Foley can get himself named co-chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children, one can only wonder: What the hell else is going on in the corridors of Capitol Hill these days? These past six years were more than just the most shame...
