My take on the current Depressing situation
by Leon Fisher, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: With everything going wrong, thanks to the greedy, disloyal traitors of Wall St and Washington who caused this mess to begin with, it is only right that the devious plans of these running dogs of Globalism should fail as well.

So here's the plan
by Don Nash, Unknown News

Nov. 26, 2007:
Yup, that'll do it
by Don Nash, Unknown News

Nov. 25, 2007:
Most of all we fear Fear
by Mr. Chuckles, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: We know what happens when we are afraid, and we are afraid of allowing ourselves to become afraid. When we are afraid our heart races, legs shake, adrenaline pumps, and we sweat the pure stink of Fear as we get ready for Fight or Flight! When we are afraid we lose our rationality and become like animals. So we are justified in being afraid of fear ... up to a point.

Batten down your e-hatches
by Hazel Burke, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: To defend against identity theft and various scams involving credit, there are steps that a reasonable person can take which are not very expensive ...

The first Thanksgiving, and the latest Thanksgiving
by Kevin Good, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: To celebrate the bounty of food brought to our tables, the American settlers welcomed the Indians, who helped them survive a difficult year, to join in the feast and celebration. ...

Nov. 20, 2007:
Your government is killing you and your loved ones
by Herb Ruhs, MD, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: When uranium burns, as described in the article, it does not (as implied in the coverage) conveniently stay put. These ultra-fine particles are raised into the atmosphere and spread throughout the world. You and your family are participating in a turkey shoot where you are the turkeys and the people using uranium as convenient weapons are the shooters.

History of lies and lies of history imperil America's mental health
by Herb Ruhs, MD, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: If we are to liberate ourselves from this tyranny we I believe will need to examine carefully all, and rewrite much, of what we have been taught to think of as our history.

Nov. 19, 2007:
Do we really love uniforms so much?
by JS Magruder, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: I keep insisting I won't read the paper anymore because I don't need to be brutalized amid stories about the latest diet or shopping fad. If I'm going to be assaulted by brutish reality, there are places I can (and do) see it laid bare in all its ugliness. I don't need people pretending to be respectable as they engage in their violence of the mind. I really don't.

Nov. 19, 2007:
Empire
by Don Nash, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: the delusion of empire
and
the ravages of war machines
fueling their engines
on slaughter
produces only atrocity
with a modicum of apathetic apocalypso

Nov. 16, 2007:
Straight poop on the
Democrats' debate of 15-Nov-2007

by Mr Chuckles, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: The reality is that the race is a huge fur-ball but "Big Media" has already selected Hillary Clinton and are giving her a free ride. Americans will believe just about anything they see on TV and they're seeing respected journalists like Wolf Blitzer treat her as a credible potential Leader of the Free World. There is nothing in Hillary's background to suggest leadership experience; she has run nothing.

Nov. 14, 2007:
Some of us know better and some of us never will
by Kathy Fisher, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: I look at it this way: It's too late for the sheeple, they're well trained brainwashed. They'll buy and believe anything their masters tell them.

As for us? We are the gang that knows too much. In fact we know their next move and we predict their next blunder. Hell sometimes we even throw a wrench in their plans and make them go back to the drawing board ...

Nov. 14, 2007:
Could a change of strategy be in the works for Genocide-Man?
by Don Nash, Unknown News

Nov. 13, 2007:
What oil and natural gas pipelines can tell us about possible WWIII alliances
by Marie K., Unknown News
 
Excerpt: If geo-strategies and oil and natural gas really ARE the real issues behind 20th and now the 21st century wars/conflicts, then the plans related to new pipelines ought to provide some clues as to who would fight and who would become allies.

Nov. 12, 2007:
Democrats: A sackful of kittens
on their way to the river

by Pavel C., Unknown News
 
Excerpt: These people have lied to us -- and to themselves -- for so long that they either fully believe their lies or they are so confused that they have no mental machinery left for going to the heart of a problem and finding a solution.

In fact, the heart of most problems is that the politicians are corrupt blunderers. I don't know what motivates each individual in government service, but the elected representatives we have now are dangerously incompetent and ought to be removed from office as soon as possible.

In the meantime, plan on more disasters happening soon.

Soldiers' naïveté of war
by Gina Dee, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: Was I watching the very first and only soldiers to ever having lived through war? Confessing their naivetes about war and the repercussions my eyebrows pinched and I was amazed. A few even expressed that if they'd "known" it was like this they might not have gone into the military. Still others could not honestly express much of how they really felt, as their brain injuries had forever robbed them of their original personalities. One man had lost both eyes along with his marriage, and decided to have his wedding band diamonds set in his prosthetic eye . A 22-year-old young man sat in a wheelchair holding his mother's hand like a small child., his brain damage quite severe. Even the most positive of them said he would have followed a different path if he had his legs back now.

Tastes like chicken soup
by Don Nash, Unknown News

Nov. 10, 2007:
Prepare for what's coming
by The Canadian, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: Food. Freeze dried is best, and vitamin tablets. One week's worth to carry and then scrounge after that. Locate all food warehouse storage locations within a radius of 140 kms from where you live. (7-days walk radius) Locate supply stores in small towns as they are the least marketed locations to urban dwellers and therefore least likely to be looted en mass.

Solar energy makes good economic sense
by Lucinda, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: I bet right this minute there are billionaires buying up gazillion hectare tracts in the desert, planning to build solar farms one day!

Nov. 9, 2007:
Through the looking glass in Iraq
by Hazel Burke, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: In fact, a long term U.S. presence in Iraq amounts to a defeat for America. That is the truth about guerrilla war. The invaders are bled dry and eventually they leave. The guerrillas have nowhere to go and are motivated for reasons other than money. Strategically too, a long term occupation of Iraq is a total disaster because it destabilizes the Middle East and encourages people to hate America and all that it stands for.

Leaders, followers, and sheep
by Luke Wagner, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: Driving sheep in the stockyards is a good metaphor for people and politics and leaders. Leaders are just people that are thrust out in front of the flock to lead them in a desired direction, but the direction is determined by the drivers.

Nov. 5, 2007:
Despite denials, Bush-Cheney planned nuclear attacks on Iran, Iraq, Libya and Syria
 
Excerpt: A briefing on the document obtained by the Federation of American Scientists, showed that the document itself was created to flesh out a 2001 Bush administration revision of long-standing nuclear-weapons policy, known as the Nuclear Posture Review. That review was a Defense Department-led attempt to wean nuclear policy off a Cold-War focus on Russia and China, but the shift raised questions about what purpose nuclear forces would serve apart from deterring an attack. In March 2002, leaks indicated that the review would recommend preparations for nuclear attacks against WMD-aspirant states. Arms Control Today pointed out at the time that planning to attack non-nuclear states that were signatories to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty reversed decades of U.S. nuclear policy.

Nov. 5, 2007:
Let's put the fun back into executions
by Pavel C., Unknown News
 
Excerpt: If we wanted painless executions we would feed the prisoners opium and vodka until they pass out.

Then any method would finish the job painlessly.

But we do not appear to want fast, painless, humane executions that are not degrading to everyone involved.

And that is why each new scientific advance in execution machines is more appalling and horrifying than the last.

It could never happen here
by Kevin Good, Unknown News
 
Excerpt: The President, without so much as issuing a press statement, on May 9 signed a directive that granted near dictatorial powers to the office of the president in the event of a national emergency, declared by himself.
