Americans have been losing the protection of law for years. In the 21st century the loss of legal protections accelerated with the Bush administration's "war on terror," which continues under the Obama administration and is essentially a war on the Constitution and U.S. civil liberties.

The Bush regime was determined to vitiate habeas corpus in order to hold people indefinitely without bringing charges. The regime had acquired hundreds of prisoners by paying a bounty for terrorists. Afghan warlords and thugs responded to the financial incentive by grabbing unprotected people and selling them to the Americans.

The sources said the ships are expected to reach the Persian Gulf within the next four days.

Apparently Jews aren’t immune to the general moral decay in society any more than any other people. In recent years Jewish con men have suffered a serious lapse in ethics and have begun preying on their own kind instead of just the goyem. The world-famous swindler Bernie Madoff was not only notable for running a 60 billion dollar Ponzi Scheme, Madoff is famous for ripping off numerous Jews (as opposed to mostly Gentile victims and just a few accidental Jewish victims). More and more Jewish swindlers are turning up who have made millions of dollars and whole careers out of swindling their fellow Tribesmen.

 

Progressive activists and writers continually bemoan the fact that the news they generate and the opinions they express are consistently ignored by the mainstream media, and thus kept from the masses of the American people. This disregard of progressive thought is tantamount to a definition of the mainstream media. It doesn't have to be a conspiracy; it's a matter of who owns the mainstream media and the type of journalists they hire — men and women who would like to keep their jobs; so it's more insidious than a conspiracy, it's what's built into the system, it's how the system works. The disregard of the progressive world is of course not total; at times some of that world makes too good copy to ignore, and, on rare occasions, progressive ideas, when they threaten to become very popular, have to be countered.

Let's pretend for a moment that we were unlucky enough to be slaves on a 19^th century Dixie cotton farm. What would you do, if you were granted the privileged position of a 'house nigger'^*. Would you count your blessings and thank God that you don't need to work in the fields? Would you do everything in your power to prove to your slave master that he has made the right choice? Would you spend day and night to make his life easier and help him make more money? Or would you use your direct access to him to kill him. Killing one of them, you say wouldn't make any difference and most likely cost your life? Well, then, why not wait until the slave masters have one of their regular get-togethers and take them all out?! Who knows? You might inspire one or the other of your peers to do the same! No, you say, they are not really that bad, plus why should you risk it? You are quite happy with your privileged life as a 'house nigger'. Sure your Uncle Tom cabin is nothing compared to your masters mansions. But it sure is much more luxurious than the field niggers' huts.

It's one of those numbers that's so unbelievable you have to actually think about it for a while... Within the next 12 months, the U.S. Treasury will have to refinance $2 trillion in short-term debt. And that's not counting any additional deficit spending, which is estimated to be around $1.5 trillion. Put the two numbers together. Then ask yourself, how in the world can the Treasury borrow $3.5 trillion in only one year? That's an amount equal to nearly 30% of our entire GDP. And we're the world's biggest economy. Where will the money come from?

Two articles, one by anti-war conservative commentator Patrick Buchanan and the other by neoconservative Daniel Pipes, deal with the issue of Obama moving toward war on Iran for political reasons. In "Will Obama Play the War Card?," Patrick Buchanan points out that this option is certainly a political temptation for Obama especially since Congress is pushing him in that direction. Buchanan cites Congress' effort to impose very stiff sanctions on refined petroleum exports to Iran as a move toward war.
