Silence is Consent

If you don't speak up you accept what is happening. This site was born out of the mainstream media's inability to cover the news. I am just an American cititzen trying to spread the word in the era of FCC consolidation, post 9/11 Patriot Act hysteria, hackable voting machines and war without end. I rant and post news items I perceive to be relevant to our current situation.

All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
- Thomas Jefferson

Social Security is not broken and therefore does not need to be fixed

For the second time in the last couple of weeks I am linking an article from Pat Buchanan, No End to War. This one is a review of the new book by Richard Perle and David Frum An End to Evil. It is written by a conservative and is an indictment of the neoconservatives.

The Price of Occupation
Iraq roadside bomb kills three
Two US soldiers and an Iraqi have been killed by a roadside bomb near the city of Khalidiya, US officials say.

Do you know what blowback is? Here's how it is defined by Chalmers Johnson in his book Blowback: The Costs and Consequences of American Empire:
The term "blowback," which officials of the Central Intelligence Agency first invented for their own internal use, is starting to circulate among students of international relations. It refers to the unintended consequences of policies that were kept secret from the American people. What the daily press reports as the malign acts of "terrorists" or "drug lords" or "rogue states" or "illegal arms merchants" often turn out to be blowback from earlier American operations.
Here is how it is being manifested today
Report says military distorts war deaths
The report says the US military has wrongly given the impression that its high-tech form of warfare is extremely low risk, creating unrealistic expectations that war produces very low casualties.
