Israel | A Jewish Defector Warns America: Benjamin Freedman speaks
I do not HATE anybody because of their ethnicity. So don't derive that from this post. Have you ever asked why the US gives so much money and so many weapons to Israel, ignoring all the wrong they do to other people? Have you ever wondered just WHY the nazis hated them and when that started? Have you ever wondered just WHY the US will protect Israel to no end? Well, here you go. Take a close look at this little history lesson. All of this history has been known for years. It's nothing new. But, it takes clearer form in this speech from 1961. Again, I don't hate people because of their ethnicity and I don't advocate hate. I think we should all live together as one race: the human race. We should all live in peace. I know, it'll never happen. Well, truly, the only way to have world peace is to ditch religion. Once we do that, we will all strive to help each other make the best of our time here. That's another rant.

18 USC 241
18 USC 241
If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same;...
They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
Okay. That means there is NO retroactive immunity for the Bush administration or telecom companies for spying against US citizens. Also, all of these protests where people have followed the law and were still harassed or arrested are examples of this law and those people need to sue. I am amazed at how most US citizens aren't angry at our political system being the joke that it is. Our own government is more of a threat to our freedoms than the imaginary terrorists that they say are coming for us.Tuesday, November 20, 2007

This was a great speech. I have to agree with him when he mentions a President walking the walk. Kucinich is a vegan. What better than to have a vegan President that understands the need to make the food industry more environmentally friendly and to have better health care and better diets. Those all go hand-in-hand and he understands that.

Suicide Epidemic Among Veterans, A CBS News Investigation Uncovers A Suicide Rate For Veterans Twice That Of Other Americans - CBS News
Suicide Epidemic Among Veterans, A CBS News Investigation Uncovers A Suicide Rate For Veterans Twice That Of Other Americans - CBS News
Does this surprise anybody? They don't include all the suicides caused by this war in the body count. If they did, here's how it would look. The article says that there were at least 6,256 suicides in 2005 alone. Add that to the field body count of just under 4000 and that's 10,000+ dead right there. If you take those numbers as a guide for last year, the dead US soldier count is well over 15,000 due to this illegal war. Many soldiers return home so mentally fucked that they can't handle living anymore. We don't provide the proper care for them. This makes me so sick. I'm not into US soldier hero worship like the government or the religious right wants us to be. I don't think that someone that doesn't graduate high school or go to college deserves to be treated as some kind of hero simply because he joins the fucking army because that is the only way he will ever be able to provide for his family. I do not need to thank them for my freedom as many bumper stickers say. Our way of life hasn't seen a threat since Hitler in WW2. That was until Nixon, Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, and W, all were in office. All those people fucked us up more than we will ever know. Anyway, even though I don't think the high-school/college drop-out soldier deserves my thanks simply because he is stupid enough to join the Army and get his ass blown up in the middle of the fucking desert, I do think that if the government sends them to get shot at and blown up that we at least provide for their health care when they get back. They sign up to do what the dictator says and our part of the deal is that they get health care paid for by the government. So far we have not lived up to that end and that is why we have all of these suicides. Again, don't thank a soldier for your freedom. You are as free as you allow yourself to be. If you don't like where you are... MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE! I plan to do that if it gets any worse. I'm thinking Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Hungary... somewhere the US gov doesn't target for takeover and the citizens have better rights(and can exercise them) and the government takes care of them.

The Airline Terrorist Hoax
The Airline Terrorist Hoax
This is so simple. The idea put forth by the Bush administration is that there are these evil arabic people wanting to blow us up when we fly. So, the got the Transportation Security Administration(TSA) to increase security at airports. According to USA TODAY, last years reports by the TSA show that they failed to find fake bombs hidden on undercover agents between 60 and 70 percent of the time! The fake bombs were hidden in pretty obvious places to check. That means that those evil arabic people would have a GREATER than 60% chance of blowing up a plane if they simply TRIED. Now, what does this mean? Well, if you've ever studied logic, this is a classic example of Modus Tollens:
If there are evil arabs wanting to blow up planes and they have a greater than 60% chance, there will be planes blowing up.
There are no planes blowing up.
Therefore there are no evil arabs wanting to blow up planes even though they have over a 60% chance if they simply tried.
In other words, we've all been royally fucking pwned!

This one is about the last two fluent speakers of a certain indigenous language in Mexico are not speaking to each other anymore. The sad part is at the bottom of the article. It says that according to the UN, one language disappears across the world every two weeks. Some languages are very beautiful to hear. Latin is my favorite. French is beautiful to hear due to it's evolution from Latin, but it's written form is atrocious. The spoken Spanish in Spain is wonderful too.
