A picture sticks in my mind–Angela Merkel
This is a couple weeks ago, but it occurred to me that it should still be part of our discourse. The Donald’s meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel a few weeks ago was disastrous. And as badly as it went for what the media actually SAW, there were things behind the scenes that must have […]
Turkey invades Syria
I like to think that I keep up with the news. But the morning news I get courtesy of MSM isn’t doing the trick anymore. If it weren’t for my friends in the Near Term Human Extinction movement, I wouldn’t have known about the deadly fires burning out of control in much of the American […]
Father Carl takes on the empire again
While I was doing my fun little play about Father Carl Kabat’s Good Friday 1994 action yesterday (Saturday August 8) at Tompkins Square Park, the real Carl Kabat was getting himself arrested. Jane Stoever, a member of Peaceworks Kansas City writing for the Nuclear Resister newsletter, relates the story: On August 9, at about 7 a.m., […]

The charges follow the long-delayed release of the Senate Report on […]
Convicted CIA station chief arrested in Panama
While the US MSM was going all googly-eyed over a new royal, Italy (a NATO ALLY) extradited a CIA Station chief to go to prison for kidnapping an Arab-national from Milan and sending him to face torture in Egypt. Bet the next NATO summit will be kinda… tense. Also, I wonder if the US trained […]
We’re spying on Europe (and they are p*ssed)
So today’s news is the gift that keeps on giving from the Edward Snowden case. It has been revealed that the US had turned on the NSA’s surveillance prowess against the lovely people of Germany, a country whose citizenry has a well-founded fear of government snooping. When even former Stasi officials are pronouncing themselves both […]
