THE PERIODICAL EROTIC FRENZY: Just a thought. →
scatteredaesthetics:
Cable is bullshit. You pay so much a month for over 1,000 channels of shit you can’t watch because you have to pay an extra fee, or the channels are in a foreign laungage, a bunch is soft porn, music, and WTF is this? Out of the 150 channels that are some what ok to watch, most of them are about reality shows of idiotic well to do people, or average idiots who spend...

The problem With Scrooge Isn't That He's A... →
This unapologetic celebration of the market is from Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. An odd thing, for those who believe this work to be an anti-capitalist diatribe. The problem with Scrooge isn’t that he’s a capitalist, but that he doesn’t enjoy his life, that he’s not generous, and that he has replaces all human affection with mere accumulation. The market is...

Walter Block destroys the "Ron Paul would have let... →
First of all, a President Paul would never have foisted an oil embargo on Japan. So, there would have been no attack on Pearl Harbor, and no fighting with the Japanese military would have been necessary. This consideration alone means that hundreds of thousands of innocent people would not have perished. And, also, it...

Gorbachev →
Contrary to western myth, the Soviet Union was not brought down by President Ronald Reagan’s arms buildup, though Moscow’s ruinous military overspending played an important role.
The principal reason was economic: failure to modernize industry and farming. In 1975, Nobel laureate Andrei Sakharov had warned the Kremlin the economy faced collapse in 15 years unless modernized. His prediction was...

Little Girl Mutilated by Obama's Drone Warfare... →
She was only a year old, Effendi guessed, but small for her age. She was skinny. Dirty. Very bloody. She had fresh burns all over her face, her scalp and on her arms.
Effendi began searching for the little girl’s family. She needed their consent before doctors operated on her. But when no one stepped forward, doctors proceeded anyway to treat the burns. Otherwise, they would have to...

A DoD report:
Iran’s military strategy is designed to defend against external or “hard” threats from the United States and Israel.

The Precursor To War Theory:
Tensions are rising with Iran and the American people. Situations are becoming far too convenient, when they are put together. Rights, sheathed in laws, are skewed then removed, and new rights are defined by our government; the identity of the individual is dwindling.
What’s more, the war in Iraq has ended (supposedly). It is a very, very curious case; ‘tis the end of a fruitless war that...

U.S. War In Iraq Declared Over →
Even after the last two bases are closed and the final American combat troops withdraw from Iraq by Dec. 31, a few hundred military personnel and Pentagon civilians will remain, working within the American Embassy as part of an Office of Security Cooperation to assist in arms sales and training to the Iraqis.

But negotiations could resume next year on whether additional...

Cheney Calls for Air Strike Over Captured Drone →
baseballlibertarian:
I love the rational of neo-cons. We invade sovereign countries air space with a drone. It gets capture. Because of that we should start a war.
Fuck you Cheney.
I knew it. I absolutely knew it.
“What’s that, you say? You won’t give it back to us, though, we asked nicely?”
These reasons for war are getting more and more obvious.

Samuel's Words To The World-Weary Israelites:
10. So Samuel spoke all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking him for a king.

Military Life Is Easy →
Don’t let the media or any brainwashed American tell you that being a service member is difficult. It was one of the easiest jobs in the world. I will concede to the facts that the training at times is physically demanding and risking your life for whatever you are fighting for seems difficult to the average person. However, the day to day life of a military person is mind-numbingly easy....
