LifestreamGood commentary on the dark legacy of American political assassinations, brought to the forefront by certain recent comments. This is un-forgivable, because this nation’s deepest shame, its most enduring horror, its most terrifying legacy, is political assassination. Lincoln. Garfield. McKinley. Kennedy. Malcolm X. Martin Luther King. Robert Kennedy. And, but for the grace of the [...]

Investigative journalist and nationally-distributed columnist Wayne Madsen (of Wayne Madsen Report) is suspiciously held, questioned and harassed while trying to catch a flight from Washington to Houston in what he aptly calls "Israelized America". The selection of Madsen was clearly not random or on the fly. It is now clear from a review of the [...]
Thomas Friedman hits his head, writes something useful, seems to espouse Obama. Nearly apologizes for past warmongering, cheerleading. Close shave, Friedman, watch the mustache. They are not only tired of nation-building in Iraq and in Afghanistan, with so little to show for it. They sense something deeper — that we’re just not that strong anymore. [...]
Anders Lago, social democratic mayor of Södertälje, Sweden, testified before the U.S. congress on Thursday. Odd as it may seem. The topic and the reason for the invitation by the Helsinki Commission was the Iraqi refugee crisis. Particularly the uneven distribution of refugees and the selfish behavior of the world’s greatest powers – ironically the [...]
Swedish (technically French) vodka maker Absolut is running an ad campaign in Mexico that is ruffling some feathers north of the border, by showing the U.S.-Mexico as it was before the war of 1848. America is clearly showing its true colors of hate and one might wonder why exactly they get so riled up. It’s [...]
Feeling more secure yet? Woman forced by TSA to remove nipple rings. It’s lucky she didn’t have grillz I suppose. Or a pacemaker or some other implant. Or even more intimate piercings. The Transportation Security Administration said Friday its officers at a Texas airport appear to have properly followed procedures when they allegedly forced a [...]
I must admit I have given the U.S. election a little more attention than usual, even though it hasn’t been showing much in any of my journals. It is clear that at least temporarily, more Americans than usual have been awoken from their slumber. This euphoric state and thirst for change rarely lasts however, so [...]
No “war criminal lives here” signs mandatory outside of Crawford ranch as of yet. But I digress. Rupert Murdoch’s The Sun is there to document of course. The homemade signs reading “A Sex Offender Lives Here” are posted on all four sides of Leroy Schad’s white house in his central Kansas town of about 150 [...]
Yes folks, that is how the dollar has been saved time again from a complete and utter collapse. Allied nations have risked their own financial well-being to prop up the end-result of America’s wars and financial negligence. And now the pleas start again. I say stop fighting the inevitable. The US will collapse and it [...]
1 in 300 US residents are on the terrorist list. Does that make sense? “At the current rate of growth, the U.S. watch lists will contain a million records by July. If there were a million terrorists in this country, our cities would be in ruins” said Barry Steinhardt, director of the ACLU’s Technology and [...]
