Al Franken, Michael Moore and Single Payer Healthcare

By Michael Cavlan

In recent years a book by Al Franken has been very popular in liberal circles: Rush Limbagh Is A Big Fat Idiot. Well, in that same theme I have decided to create an article with the same kind of sentiments and theme. Michael Moore Is A Big Fat Lying Hypocrite, in Honor of Stewart Smalley becoming Minnesota Senator, because he sure as hell is not ours.

In the last 100 years, the North American and European diet has changed radically. The change can be summed up simply: calories from plant foods have been replaced by calories from animal fats. During the same period, rates of degenerative diseases like heart disease, cancer and diabetes has sky rocketed. Is there a connection?

For those who have been following the work of Wiley Miller, of comic fame, Non Sequitur, you know of his genius. It also seems we have an honorary COTO member.

ADC Condemns Israel's Seizure of Humanitarian Aid Ship en Route to Gaza

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) condemns the Israeli naval commandeering of a ship carrying humanitarian supplies to the besieged territory of Gaza. The ship, which left from the Cypirot port of Larnaca, was approximately 20 miles off the coast of Gaza when it was boarded by Israeli Navy personnel and redirected to the city of Ashdod.

Independence from Global War Machine

Manifesto of the Equals

Gracchus Babeuf and the Conspiracy of the Equals 1796

By Nicole Johnston, Al Jazeera reporter

With proven oil reserves of around 112 billion barrels and up to another 150 billion barrels of probable reserves, Iraq is the greatest untapped prize for international oil companies.

To put that in context, if Iraq does turn out to have around 300 billion barrels of oil, it will rival the world's biggest producer Saudi Arabia - which has around 160 billion barrels of proven reserves.

The Truth Alone Will Not Set You Free

By Chris Hedges TruthDig June 29, 2009

The ability of the corporate state to pacify the country by extending credit and providing cheap manufactured goods to the masses is gone. The pernicious idea that democracy lies in the choice between competing brands and the freedom to accumulate vast sums of personal wealth at the expense of others has collapsed. The conflation of freedom with the free market has been exposed as a sham. The travails of the poor are rapidly becoming the travails of the middle class, especially as unemployment insurance runs out and people get a taste of Bill Clinton’s draconian welfare reform. And class warfare, once buried under the happy illusion that we were all going to enter an age of prosperity with unfettered capitalism, is returning with a vengeance.

The wholesale looting of America and the transfer of wealth and power over to a private banking elite who are setting up a world government, along with the complete obliteration of any remaining freedom to protest, resist, or even speak out against this agenda, is now entering its final phase as numerous different pieces of the jigsaw puzzle fall into place and portray a clear picture of tyranny.

Harrisburg chapter of NAACP urges martial law

Thursday June 25, 2009, 9:24 PM

The Harrisburg Chapter of the NAACP is calling on Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell to suspend some civil liberties and impose martial law in the city to halt the wave of recent lawlessness.

Chapter President Stanley Lawson also called on Rendell to bring in the state National Guard for at least 30 days and to impose a curfew. In June, there have been at least 12 shootings, many of them in the daytime, including a man killed Wednesday at a busy city intersection during the lunch hour.

Obama gets billions for ‘pandemic’ Swine Flu

by F. William Engdahl

Buried amid news stories about World Breastfeeding Week, World Suicide Prevention Day and World Rabies Day, the WHO has a small item giving the latest supposed count of ‘laboratory confirmed H1N1 cases. It is something on the order of 55,000 persons worldwide since this April at a factory pig farm in Veracruz Mexico a small child got ill and the world was told of a deadly new ‘Swine Flu’ that was allegedly spreading from pig to person. Yet the US Government is gearing up as if it were preparing for the new outbreak of the dreaded 1918 ‘Spanish Flu’ pandemic. The reality does not support the government response. Is something else going on?

Humor: Lusitania Truthers Vindicated
— Jon Cole

...Now a team led by County Waterford-based diver Eoin McGarry, on behalf of Lusitania's American owner, Gregg Bemis, has recovered live ammunition from the wreck ... This past September, Bemis's team used a remotely operated vehicle to penetrate the wreck. They were able to clearly identify a vast amount of ammunition in an area of the Lusitania not believed to have carried cargo. The Remington .303 caliber bullets the team discovered on the ship had been used by the British Military during WWI. Ten of the bullets were brought to the surface. “‘The charge that the Lusitania was carrying war materiel is valid,’ says Bemis. ‘She was a legitimate target for the German submarine.’”

CNN or C.A.N. — Child Abduction Network?

CNN or C.A.N. — Child Abduction Network?
....

One reason Americans are so extremely terrified about child abductions is that whenever we turn on the TV or computer, there’s another one. As if these horrific crimes are happening 24/7, when actually the media is only too happy to fly across the country — or world — to set up camp wherever a cute, white girl has disappeared. Tight news budgets get thrown out the window for a story like this. But because that story then shows up on our screen at home, it feels like it’s happening right around the corner. All the time.

....

A newly Free-Range mom dropped me a little note this morning trying to help all of us (herself included) put our fears in perspective: The chance of a child being kidnapped and murdered? 1 in 1.5 million. The chance of a child ending up at some point with some form of depression? 1 in 4.

Compare and Contrast – One is Real, One is Fake

by Scott Creighton

You are going to watch 2 videos. One is real, the other is fake.

One was forgotten, never played on the MSM. One is running daily every channel, every web page.

One is about a struggle for the rights of a people, oppressed... the other is about changing a regime that just won an election.

In the one video, the protester was buried the next day and his family mourned... in the other, the funeral was "secret" and the family "not allowed" too mourn.

You are about to see two videos - both deal with death.

One is that of a man who gave his life for a cause... the other is about the death of truth and democracy in Iran.

9/11 FEMA videographer at Ground Zero goes public

As official videographer for the U.S. government, Kurt Sonnenfeld was detailed to Ground Zero on September 11, 2001, where he spent one month filming 29 tapes: "What I saw at certain moments and in certain places ... is very disturbing!" He never handed them over to the authorities and has been persecuted ever since. Kurt Sonnenfeld lives in exile in Argentina, where he wrote « El Perseguido » (the persecuted). His recently-published book tells the story of his unending nightmare and drives another nail into the coffin of the government’s account of the 9/11 events.

This situation is totally insane and Obama has to take responsibility. That is, if the peace movement, has the courage to call him on it.

Iran Had a Democracy Before We Took It Away

This is the picture, the "money shot" as it's called in the industry... the sole remaining part of the "fake death scene" video posted on Andrew Sullivan's "breathless blog" extravaganza. This is the shot that I guess they are hoping will fire-up the "progressives" to support another imperial incursion into Iran... or at least another 400 billion dollars for more regime change businesses in the country. But as is often the case, truth is more horrible than fiction.

A year and a half ago I was diagnosed with neck cancer - squamous cell carcinoma. By the time I went under the knife six months later (I’ll save my medical horror story for another time) my surgeon told me that not only was the disease at stage 4, but that if I didn’t undergo radiation and chemotherapy, I’d be dead in a year. Well guess what? Not only did I not follow the doctor’s orders, but I’m alive, well, and fit to be tied. So I thought I’d share my experience with others so they don’t have to learn the hard way like I did. What happened to me, could happen to anyone.

Two great blogs about the Washington Post's firing of Dan Froomkin of the White House Watch blog:

First Paul Krugman comments that:

we still live in an era in which you have to have been wrong to be respectable. You’re not considered serious about national security unless you were for invading Iraq; you’re not considered a serious political analyst unless you spent the last 3 years of the Bush administration predicting a Republican comeback; you’re not considered a serious economic analyst unless you dismissed the idea that the Bush Boom, such as it was, rested on a housing bubble.

That’s why the firing of Dan Froomkin now makes a perverse sort of sense.

Nothing Intimidates Health Insurers Like the Public Health Insurance Plan

By Monica Sanchez June 19, 2009 ourfuture.org

Most people don’t trust health insurance companies and with good reason. They are a powerful industry that is not easily prodded, pushed or intimidated into doing the right thing by their members.

Insurance companies routinely abuse the trust of patients and providers alike. A new report by Health Care for America Now outlines the habitual abuses perpetrated be health insurance companies, including leaving patients with high out-of-pocket costs, denying coverage for medically necessary care, preventing doctors from delivering care they feel is best for their patients, and unduly delaying reimbursement to patients and providers.

It was a good experience, they gave us and extra hour, so I guess that's a good thing.

It will be real interesting if RK actually accepts an invitation to debate us as to why we were banned. Now that would be a show! My bet is he won't do it. The man's a coward and a weak debater and he knows it.
