The dreams of the oppressed
by Herb Ruhs, MD, Unknown News
| |
Excerpt: To the extent that we remain asleep and dreaming, disconnected from the reality of consequences of our dreaming, then we are indeed lost. To the extent that we are willing to wake up and look upon our dreams with compassion and a degree of self-deprecating humor, we can choose those to dream those dreams that actually serve the interests of ourselves in the broader context of the rest of humanity, and the rest of life on earth, and achieve a sustainable life that is full of the vividness of both joy and sorrow. |

Connecting the dots and finding bad cops
by Lon Garm, Unknown News
| |
Excerpt: Just for grins I decided to run a Google News search for officer arrested OR sentenced OR indicted OR jailed (bearing in mind that the diligent researcher would repeat the search, substituting various synonyms such as "cop", "sheriff", "deputy", "agent", etc.). Only 30,000 hits came up for the most recent 30 day period, and of those, at most 30% involved officers being arrested etc. instead of doing the arresting. |

No-one forces you to buy junk

On the comfort of blaming the victims
by Herb Ruhs, MD, Unknown News
| |
Excerpt: To whatever extent we are able to salvage something after this criminal carnival (that the home loan scam is just a small part of) burns itself out, our success will depend on our ability to separate the sheep from the goats in our perception of what happened, and a willingness to extend our sympathy and help to those in our society that have been victimized the most. |

Going down
by Kathy & Leon Fisher, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: No-one forced people into equity loans and second mortgages. They loved the idea that they could use their homes as credit cards for vacations and lavish home improvements and yes new cars... No-one forced people to sign on the dotted line on a RISKY subprime loan. People believed what they wanted to believe when they were not asked to put down how much money they made or told not to worry, alarms should have gone off in their heads warning them if it does not feel right or sound right, don't sign. |

On the dominance of the clever
by Herb Ruhs, MD, Unknown News

There's big money in poverty
by JS Magruder, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: We seem to be (as a nation) suffering a collective case of misplaced hostility. It isn't the poor taking your money. It isn't the immigrant family down the street taking your job. Your jobs were sent abroad by the people representing you in Washington. Your taxes are torturing and killing people the world over. Your hard-earned money is funding the building of more prisons to house petty criminals, and for the police helicopter looking for God only knows what. The people who are making you work longer hours for less pay aren't the poor asking for change on a street corner. The poor didn't jack up your credit card rates to what any other country in the world would consider usury. The guy sitting on the park bench with everything he owns in the world stuffed into a paper bag, with maggot-infested unhealed flesh wounds -- that guy didn't sell you the interest-only mortgage. Go ahead, pat yourself on the back for walking past him as though he didn't exist and make you feel better by mumbling about "services being available." |

The spookies are laser washing selected trucks, cars, civilians, and then they're calling in air strikes. On United States citizens! Holy freaking mother of god and Mary in the very early morning! The goddamned United States military is using us as their freaking subjects in their twisted and barbaric war gaming. |

I'm afraid of writing this
by Chris D., Unknown News
| |
Excerpt: Security will be tightened at US bases abroad in ways that disregard or even threaten local governments and international law, followed by the outright annexation of the countries that contain them. The UN at that point will have had enough and launch economic sanctions against the US for the first time. The US will respond militarily and open war will break out. A reign of unbridled and incomparable terror will encompass the globe not at the hands of Islamic extremists but at the hands of the one true rogue nation. (Sorry, I call 'em as I see 'em.) |
The ides of idolatry, or ... A song for Huckabee!
by Don Nash, Unknown News
| |
Excerpt: "People of planet earth, you've got it all wrong! You're not supposed to hate one another. You're not supposed to kill one another. You're not supposed to spread lies as gospel and you're sure as hell not supposed to listen to anyone that would advise you otherwise. The political demagogues that would cloak themselves in religion are worse than the hypocrites that bomb and kill using the name of the Most High. Knock that crap off!" |

Deconstructing the "brand name" al-Qaeda®
by Marie K., Unknown News
| |
Excerpt: Has al-Qaeda® been a label that is useful for the US government and other governments that also use it? First, it aids countries interested in gaining greater control over their own citizens given those governments' claiming to be "protecting" them as they take away their rights. It has also been useful for governments that carry out false flag operations and arrest Muslims worldwide -- perhaps for more "bounty monies" or some other benefit. It could also come in handy if there is a second type of al-Qaeda® made up of CIA/other intelligence agencies' agents who serve as infiltrators and agents sent to entrap people. |

by Herb Ruhs, MD, Unknown News

The end of a nightmare of delusion
by Herb Ruhs, MD, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: This episode of species insanity that is coming to an end has been based on the willingness of individuals to remain as children, to forego advancement to adult status, to arrest our intellectual and moral development for the sake of being part of an ever larger collective where only a few individuals are allowed to assume adult roles. What is not growth is death. We have chosen to see to the growth of our dominator cultures by virtue of piling heaps of our own corpses on a bonfire that keeps fewer and fewer of us warm. |
