Coming Attractions

As I'm sitting here reading the on-line news and updates concerning the 7.8 Earthquake that struck near the city of Chengdu, China, at least 28,881 people have been confirmed missing or dead. The death toll will likely rise much higher, as the last time a quake of 7.6 or higher struck central China was 1976 and 240,000 people died. The area surrounding the massive quake is home to 10,000,000 people, and, in at least one community, some 80% of the buildings have been destroyed. It is estimated that over 900 school children have been reported buried in the rubble of their own schools which collapsed on top of them. This is the worst Earthquake in China in 75 years.

A 7.8 Earthquake is big news.

Last week, the world watched as a powerful hurricane, Cyclone Nargis, swept through Myanmar killing at least 100,000. Our Family, thru the American Rainbow Rapid Response [LINK] are busy organizing what has become a massive human rights disaster.

Let's not forget that huge volcano eruption in Chile [LINK] ....


Closer to home, the active tornado season in the Midwest has so far claimed 22 lives. The town of Senaca, Missouri was totally flattened. Yesterday, more tornadoes struck in Oklahoma. In a typical year the Midwest tornado season averages around 360 tornadoes.

But this is not a typical year. We've already had over 900 so far ...

High gas prices, massive worldwide famine and food shortages, Economic Recession (or Depression, depending on whom you talk to) possible, and sadly inevitable Nuclear strikes against Iran, a contentious Democratic Convention this summer, and deep worries that Bush may cancel the fall Election because of a 911-type terrorist attack (or a False Flag operation, depending on whom you talk to) and declare Martial Law.

How come I get the feelin' this is just the "Coming Attractions" and the main reel hasn't even been threaded into the projector yet .....


As the coming darkness approaches we watch the lightning in the distance and wait upon the thunder. Yes, the circle of Light may be surrounded by much darkness, but God has called upon all his earthly angels to go forth and spread the Light this summer, to dispel fear and ignorance, and to bring hope and comfort to all our brothers and sisters around the world who are living in despair.

We are the Rainbow Warriors.

Sitting around the campfires and playing our drums we are prepared.
Standing in Circle holding hands with our brothers and sisters we are prepared.
Cooking and serving our meals with love and generosity we are prepared.
We must stand strong and united. We must help our fellow brothers and sisters and not yield to the fear or the petty disagreements that separates us.

Be strong, my friends. We must spend the time remaining with love and courage while possessing the knowledge that as we create our reality we can just as easily change our reality.

We must - and will - be the change we wish to see...

Hillary's "Audacity of Hopelessness"

"Hillary’s path to the nomination is not 'narrow, it’s barricaded." - Christopher Beam of Slate

"One big fact has largely been lost in the recent coverage of the Democratic presidential race - Hillary Rodham Clinton has virtually no chance of winning." - Jim Vandehei and Mike Allen of Politico.

"Clinton has no realist chance to the nomination unless Obama is, as the now-jailed former Louisiana governor Edwin Edwards once put it, 'caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy' she cannot overcome his pledged delegate lead." - Toby Harnden, The Daily Telegraph's U.S. editor

"If party insiders fix the nomination against the will of the people--when the entire election is about repudiation of the old politics--it will be an act of monumental political disaster that historians will condemn for generations," Brent Budowsky of HILL.COM

"It won't be the chaotic street protest and battle with the cops that occurred in '68: we've learned too much from that. It will be organized, Gandhian in its adherence to discipline and nonviolence, and more massive than anything maybe ever seen in the United States' long history of social movements. If the party leaders choose to destroy democracy by denying the fair-and-square winner the nomination, democracy will then be duty bound to destroy the party...The big news is that, for the first time in decades, a black-white alliance from the street will be possible: Montgomery 1955 meets Seattle 1999 in Denver 2008." - Al Giordano

"Stars, planets and a bunch of asteroids would have to fall into perfect alignment in order for Clinton to win the Democratic nomination." . - Ted Rall of Yahoo News

She's not pinin'! She's passed on! This candidate is no more! She has ceased to be! She's expired and gone to meet 'er maker! She's a stiff! Bereft of life, she rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'er to the perch she'd be pushing up the daisies! 'er metabolic processes are now 'istory! She's off the twig! She's kicked the bucket, She's shuffled off 'er mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-CANDIDATE!!

"Barack Obama is inspiring us like a desert lover, a Washington Valentino. We who have felt apathetic, angry at two (likely) stolen elections, K-Street hegemony, the "pornography of the trivial" in journalism and culture; we who are heartbroken over a war we knew was wrong, we who thought (especially after Baby Bush got in a 2nd time) that America got what it asked for; we who stopped wanting to participate 'cause it doesn't matter whether we do or don't; we have a crush. We're talking about it; we're getting involved, we're tuning in and turning out in numbers we haven't seen in ages. My musician friends and I are writing songs to inspire people and couples all over America are making love again and shouting "yes we can" as they climax!"

Oh yeah!!, oh yeah!!, oh yeah!!

I was reading a newspaper article recently on the latest manifestation of "O-bomb-Phe-nom" and I remembered when Barrack Obama first announced he was running for president. I had found some autographed copies of his book, "Dreams Of My Father" selling really cheap on e-bay. I said to a friend of mine then (who should've known better) "hey, you should go and buy these copies, they're gonna sell like hotcakes soon."
Then Obama appeared at the first Democratic debate and he was a real disappointment.
He came off stiff and uninspiring. He looked like a "suit" (and a cheap suit at that) and behaved like the whitest black guy in the room.
Then Oprah gave him back his mojo and suddenly he transformed into a "black Kennedy" ...
So I was absorbing all this buzz and trying to wrap my mind around it when the zz top song cheap sunglasses fell on my mental turntable.
It was truely a zen moment.
The scales fell from my eyes.
All was revealed as I stumbled down the road to Damascus.



What does it mean?

- John McCain, on the "Straight Talk Express"

McCain temper boiled over in '92 tirade, called wife a 'cunt'
In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair and said,"You're getting a little thin up there." McCain's face reddened, and he responded, "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt." McCain's excuse was that it had been a long day.

John McCain's racist remark very troubling
On his campaign bus in 2000, Sen. John McCain told reporters, "I hated the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live."

John McCain: I Have Anger Issues
Sen. John McCain admitted Tuesday morning that he has anger management issues, confessing that it's a problem he's had to work on for many years.

"I constantly, throughout my career, have had to work on getting angry and frustrated and losing my temper," McCain told Fox News Channel's Brian Kilmeade, who was filling in on Tony Snow's radio show.

McCain's Out-of-Control Anger: Does He Have the Temperament to Be President?
"A former senator who requested anonymity recalled an exchange at a Republican policy lunch. McCain turned on another senator who disagreed with him.
"McCain used the f-word," the former senator said. "McCain called the guy a ‘sh--head.' The senator demanded an apology. McCain stood up and said, ‘I apologize, but you're still a sh--head.' That was in front of 40 to 50 Republican senators. That sort of thing happened frequently."

McCain's Sharp Tongue: an Achilles Heel?
"F--- you," he shouted at Texas Sen. John Cornyn last year.

"Only an a------ would put together a budget like this," he told the former Budget Committee chairman, Sen. Pete Domenici, in 1999.

"I'm calling you a f------ jerk!" he once retorted to Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley.

With Cornyn, he smoothed things over quickly. The two argued during a meeting on immigration legislation; Cornyn complained that McCain seemed to parachute in during the final stages of negotiations. "F--- you. I know more about this than anyone else in the room," McCain reportedly shouted.

Impeach Now Or Face the End of Constitutional Democracy
Coming soon to a theater near you this summer is a perfect storm of terror, treason and totalitarianism. Produced by the same "New American Century" neo-cons that sold you the sensational 2001 blockbuster 9/11: The Coup D'etat, this sequel promises to be as equally spectacular. On May 9, 2007 Bush posted a National Continuity Policy to the White House web site that bypasses Congress and puts him and Dick Cheney in charge of all three branches of the federal government in the event there is a "catastrophic emergency" by our old nemesis al-CIA-duh some time before Bush and Cheney's time expires in office. This leaves the remaining shreds of democracy in America dangling on a thin thread of chance that such a "catastrophe" doesn't happen again.

Bush / Cheney '08: Revolution or Concentration Camp?
The United States Military Commissions Act of 2006, (Senate Bill 3930[1]) approved by Congress and signed into law by Bush last October, specifically says that the president can federalize the National Guard to "suppress public disorder" in the event of "national disorder, epidemic, other serious public health emergency, terrorist attack, or incident." That determination, the act states, is solely the president's to make. Congress is not involved. The Military Commissions Act creates the category of "unlawful enemy combatants," who lack the right of habeas corpus, and traditional protections from torture under the Geneva Conventions. Furthermore, the Act avoids any clear language ensuring that U.S. citizens will not be classified as a "terrorist". The New York Times stated that the legislation introduced, "A dangerously broad definition of "illegal enemy combatant" in the bill that could subject legal residents of the United States, as well as foreign citizens living in their own countries, to summary arrest and indefinite detention with no hope of appeal. The president could give the power to apply this label to anyone he wanted." "Habeus Fascismus? We don't need no Habeus Fascismus!!"

The John Warner Defense Appropriation Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (H.R. 5122.ENR) signed on the same day, allows the President to “...employ the armed forces, including the National Guard in Federal service, to... 1. restore public order and enforce the laws of the United States when... the President determines that,...domestic violence has occurred to such an extent that the constituted authorities of the State or possession are incapable of maintaining public order; 2. suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy...Keep in mind the Insurrection Act (10 U.S.C.331 -335) has historically, along with the Posse Comitatus Act(18 U.S.C.1385) helped to enforce strict prohibitions on military involvement in domestic law enforcement. With one cloaked swipe of his pen, Bush is seeking to undo those prohibitions

The National Security Presidential Directive (NSPD 51), and the Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD-20), signed on May 9, 2007, gives special powers to the President in the event of a "Catastrophic Emergency," which means "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions." In such situations, "The President shall lead the activities of the Federal Government for ensuring constitutional government." The scope of the program is so secretive that even Homeland Security Committee member and Congressman Peter DeFazio was denied access to view the classified portion of the documents.

A presidential Executive Order issued on July 17th, entitled Blocking Property of Certain Persons Who Threaten Stabilization Efforts in Iraq provides the President with the authority to confiscate the assets of "certain persons" who oppose the US led war in Iraq. It states that any American citizen who "threatens the peace and stability of Iraq and undermines efforts to promote reconstruction and reform" there may have all their property and interests seized by the Treasury department without warning. The executive order violates the First, Fourth and Fifth Amendments of the US Constitution. It repeals one of the fundamental tenets of US democracy, which is the right to free expression and dissent.

The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed HR 1955 titled the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. This bill is one of the most blatant attacks against the Constitution yet and actually defines "thought crimes" as homegrown terrorism. Unlike previous anti-terror legislation, this bill specifically targets the civilian population of the United States and uses vague language to define homegrown terrorism. Amazingly,404 of our elected representatives from both the Democrat and Republican parties voted in favor of this bill.

The Bush administration desperately needs a dramatic event or *MIHOP to occur before the '08 Presidential Election in order to frighten the American people into accepting a declaration of "national emergency" and Martial Law. With a series of staged or permitted attacks on U.S. soil, the Election will surely be cancelled. Keep in mind the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers gave a $385 million grant to Halliburton subsidiary KBR Inc for the construction of detention camps across the U.S. The contract is to be executed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,"for establishing temporary detention and processing capabilities to augment existing ICE Detention and Removal Operations (DRO) - in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs." This cannot be coincendental

Being against a War is ~not~ the same as being for Peace.

"I am not opposed to all wars...
I am not opposed to all wars...
I am not opposed to all wars."

-Barrack Obama, part of a speech he gave at a peace rally he attended on October 2, 2002 at Federal Park in Chicago

Many ardent supporter of Barrack Obama have cited his opposition to the Iraq war as part of his "credentials" for becoming President of the United States (his other credentials apparently being "hope, vision, inspiration and change.") Just as Hillary Clinton tries to convince you that she was duped into authorizing the war in the Senate by the lies of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, and Colin Powell, Barrack Obama would like for you to believe that his opposition to the war made him a lone voice crying out in the wilderness.
George Orwell wrote in his novel 1984 that "All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary." but the events of 2002 haven't been flushed down the "memory hole" just yet.

On October 26, 2002, 100,000 Americans protested the impending war in Washington, D.C. (I know, I was there) and on the same day 50,000 gathered in San Francisco to do the same. Outside of America's borders, never before in history had there been so loud a collectively resounding global voice on any issue. It is estimated that between January 3 and April 12, 2003 over 36 million people on this planet participated in organized protests against the American invasion of Iraq. After the biggest series of demonstrations, on February 15, 2003, New York Times writer Patrick Tyler claimed that they showed that there were two superpowers on the planet, the United States and worldwide public opinion.

In 2003 being opposed to the invasion of Iraq meant that you were aware of the flimsy excuses and lies promoted by the Bush Administration and the incessant "war hysteria" hyped by the mainstream media.
Should Obama be given credit for being aware of what 36 million people were chanting as they filled the streets of the world's cities and towns?

Being against a war is not the same as being for peace.

Speaking before a pro-Israel crowd on March 3, 2007, Barack Obama said the use of military force should not be taken off the table when dealing with Iran, which he called "a threat to all of us." In an interview with the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune published September 26,2004 Democratic Senate candidate Barack Obama said he would favor the use of "surgical" missile strikes against Iran if it failed to bow to Washington's demand that it eliminate its nuclear energy program. Obama also said that, in the event of a coup that removed the Musharraf regime in Pakistan, the US should attack that nation's nuclear arsenal as well. "The big question is going to be, if Iran is resistant to these pressures [to stop its nuclear program], including economic sanctions, which I hope will be imposed if they do not cooperate, at what point ... if any, are we going to take military action?" He added, "Launching some missile strikes into Iran is not the optimal position for us to be in" given the ongoing war in Iraq.

"On the other hand, having a radical Muslim theocracy in possession of nuclear weapons is worse." Obama went on to argue that military strikes on Pakistan should not be ruled out if "violent Islamic extremists" were to "take over."

In an interview with the Israeli news organization, Ynetnews, on Feb, 29, 2008 Obama assured the Israelis, "My approach to Iran will be based upon aggressive diplomacy. I will not take the military option off the table. But I also believe that under this administration, we have seen the threat grow worse, and I intend to change that course."

Is Obama the "peace candidate" possessing the awareness he showed in 2002 with his opposition to the impending war with Iraq, or will the words from the speech he gave that day at the peace demonstration come back to haunt us -

"I am not opposed to all wars...
I am not opposed to all wars...
I am not opposed to all wars."

Apparently it depends on who he is talking to....

Hillary: "I will take George Bush at his word"

A Hillary Flashback

According to Edward Klein's new book The Truth About Hillary, she smoked pot while a student at Wellesley with her boyfriend David Rupert, and met Bill Clinton at a commune called Cozy Beach that was affiliated with Ken Kesey's Hog Farm. "During their remaining time at Yale, Bill and Hillary often grooved the night away at Cozy Beach, spinning the latest Jefferson Airplane platters and eating Kris Olson's hashish brownies," Klein wrote. During President Bill Clinton's last week in office, he told Rolling Stone magazine he thought marijuana ought to be legalized. But in a Senate debate in Manhattan on Oct 8, 2000, Hillary took the middle road, advocating Drug Courts and weekly drug testing for those with an "addiction."

In 1974, George W. Bush spent Superbowl Sunday at a party hosted by Hunter S. Thompson. When asked decades later if he remembered whether Bush had used any drugs at his party, Thompson replied:

"I can't be expected to remember what every drug-addled yuppie hanger-oner who wanted to get close to me during a football game twenty-five years ago digested. There were so many dope fiends milling about, I don't remember what some Yalie named Bush, whose father was a factotum in the Nixon Administration, was doing. But he strikes me as the sort of person I would have thrown out of the room. A rich, beer-drunk yahoo with a big allowance who passes out in your bathtub. ... I don't want to become the Deep Drug Throat. ... I won't do it."

Later, interviewed in the Independent on Oct 31, 2004 Thompson became more forthcoming about his encounter with George W. Bush:

"The first time I noticed George W Bush was when he passed out in my bathtub at the Hyatt Regency in Houston. He was with a guy who had come to sell-- Look, I'm not going to put this next sentence on the record. Let's just say that 'a friend of mine' was buying cocaine. I have friends in Houston from all walks of life. Lawyers. Professional men. Bush was hanging around with this crowd of what you might call gilded coke dilettantes. I remember Bush as a kind of a butt-boy for the smart people. This was in the late 1970s, when he was in his drunken-fool period. He couldn't handle liquor. He knew who I was, at that time, because I had a reputation as a writer. I knew he was part of the Bush dynasty. But he was nothing, he offered nothing, and he promised nothing. He had no humour. He was insignificant in every way and consequently I didn't pay much attention to him. But when he passed out in my bathtub, then I noticed him. I'd been in another room, talking to the bright people. I had to have him taken away."

"If George W Bush wins again, the United States faces utter disaster. If this president is re-elected, we are facing the total death of the American Dream as I know it, and I have spent a lot of time knowing it. I would tell them that if this gang of criminals get in once more, we will be in the position of a family who have sent the Hell's Angels written invitations to their Thanksgiving party. Such a decision represents a serious error of judgment. Because certain people never leave."- Hunter S Thompson Oct 31, 2004

The 5th Year of the Illegal War In Iraq

140,000 U.S. soldiers in Iraq
120 Iraqi civilians die each day.
1,930 Iraqis died last month
4,000 U.S. and U.K. soldiers killed in Iraq since the 2003 invasion



'' It is sad that man is not intelligent enough to solve problems without killing ....The present world crisis can be solved only by a general human revolution against outdated concepts....Man is not a blood-thirsty animal, and war is only due to the greed and lust for power of relatively small groups, the conspiracy of the few against the many.''
-- Albert Szent-Gy"rgyi (1893- ) in The Churchman, Nov. 1978

The "New" New Democrats

"In politics, nothing is so unsettling as half a success. After a catastrophe, the next generation rebuilds from scratch. After a heroic victory, they inherit the triumph. But half a success tantalizes and confuses; it dangles before the eyes a glaring discrepancy between promise and performance."
- Todd Gitlin, The Sixties

The Democrats are currently fighting an ideological battle within their own Party of the likes that hasn't been seen since the Stalinists fought it out with the Socialists and Trotskyists for control of their Party in 1936.

The current "New" New Left of the Democratic Party are mostly made up of young computer savvy kids weened during the Bush Sr administration, grew their teeth under Clinton, and lost their virginity with Howard Dean. Now with "Red" Cindy Sheehan at their side playing den mother, these "New" New Democrats, with their principled stand on Iraq, are attempting to steer the stoogy Democratic Party away from the rocky shoals of political irrelevancy in '08..

"It will be the 1960s all over again." wails Dick Morris in his on-line column. His woeful message of gloom-n-doom will surely send chills down the spines of any Democrat old enough to remember Hubert Humprey and the 1968 Democratic Convention. For the Democrats politically the 60's were an dismal era of in-fighting and throat cutting, disappointments and defeats. It will be interesting to see if Obama will play the "Eugene McCarthy" card next to Hillary's "Humprey"

It appears the "New" New Democrats are finding themselves in the same positions as the alcoholic derlicts in the Eugene O'Neil play "The Iceman Cometh" Their pipe dream - "long since looted and scuttled" - of doing a better job than the Repuglicans has, in the words of O'Neill, "the stink of nickel whiskey on its breath".

"What's it matter if the truth is that their favoring breeze has the stink of nickel whiskey on its breath, and their sea is a growler of lager and ale, and their ships are long since looted and scuttled and sunk on the bottom? To hell with the truth! As the history of the world proves, the truth has no bearing on anything. It's irrelevant and immaterial, as the lawyers say. The lie of a pipe dream is what gives life to the whole misbegotten mad lot of us, drunk or sober."

Jeez-us, the lies of the Democratic Party's pipe dream (and political platform) is what gives life to the whole misbegotten mad lot of them, drunk or sober.

Bush...And Bald-Headed Men

The Strange Case of Marine Cpl Wassef Ali Hassoun

In a true life account that reads more like a script for a bad Hollywood movie, Marine Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun was listed as missing in action in Iraq June 20 after he failed to report for duty. A week later the Arabic news network Al-Jazeera broadcast a photo of Hassoun being held hostage by Islamic extremists.

Hassoun, an American born Muslim of Jordanian descent, was the "poster boy" for the U.S. Occupational Forces in Iraq. Both a Marine and a practicing Muslim, Hassoun was commissioned by the military to reassure the terrified Iraqis that the massive bombing and indiscriminate killings in their country since the U.S. Invasion was a normal outgrowth of democracy in action and not an insane plot to re-ignite a Holy Crusade by the infidel Christians.

But personally Hassoun must have felt as comfortable as a black man at a Klan rally as he witnessed his fellow Marines, pumped up by endless Bible studies and dressed as Christian Crusaders, laid waste to the city of Falluja.

Praise be Allah as the Marines were firebombing mosques, torturing captured insurgents, and shooting innocent women and children in the streets.

Now out of his worse nightmare, Hassoun lays bound and blindfolded in a dank cellar awaiting execution as a mass murderer and a traitor to Allah by his own brothers in the Faith.

But the plucky Marine using techniques learned from watching old MacGiver episodes, managed to escape his captors and make his way to the American Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon on July 8.

Wait a minute?? Beirut, Lebanon??

Now how did Marine Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun end up in Beirut?

Since returning to the United States, Hassoun issued one statement to the press saying he was captured and held against his will by anti-coalition forces. While the American media was calling his daring escape from his captors "heroic", the Marines were smelling something fishy.

But before Hassoun could ink a deal with Hollywood for a Movie Of The Week about his heroic capture and daring escape, he was charged last month with desertion, theft, loss of government property and wrongful appropriation of a government vehicle. The desertion count carries a five-year maximum prison sentence and the other counts carry 10-year maximums.

Despite his fifteen minutes of fame on Al-Jazeera and his "good-guy Muslim" appearance as propaganda fodder for the American media, Marine Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun was revealed to be a nothing more than a common military deserter - although a flamboyant one - still a lying, traitorous deserter.
The corporal's hearing on the Iraq desertion charge was delayed until Jan. 13 to allow Hassoun to hire a civilian lawyer to assist his military attorneys. After taking a holiday leave, Hassoun was required to return to Camp Lejeune by noon Tuesday, but did not report for duty.

Hassoun's command -the 4th Marine Expeditionary Brigade - officially declared him a deserter and issued authorization for civil authorities to apprehend Hassoun and return him to military control. Today it was revealed that Marine Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun, using techniques learned from watching old MacGiver reruns, has sucessfully escaped the U.S. and is believed to be hanging out with his old Muslim pals once again in Lebanon.

ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, Allah be praised!!!
