As most of you are aware, I am an anti-war advocate. If there is one thing that I despise more than anything it is the abuse of power to support political agendas that seek the promotion of militarism for whatever purpose – and I could really care less who that reality applies to, be it [...]

With help from readers I’ve been able to track down what was said by John Lehman, Senator McCain’s foreign policy advisor, to Wolf Blitzer during a recent interview on CNN with regards to Iran… “They trained some of the 9/11 conspirators. They gave them free passage to al Qaeda.” Rather than simply discarding this for the nonsense [...]

I woke up this morning feeling like I’d run a marathon after which I was hit by a bus, dragged four blocks, and then set upon by wolves. Rehearsals are one thing; the real deal is something altogether different. Being that I haven’t played with a band for more than two years, and put out [...]

A reader, Kevin Mejlholm, recommended the following lecture (*See update below) by David Ray Griffin regarding 9/11. I am posting this not to promote the ideas presented by Griffin, but rather to simply present information that I think should be presented. Therefore, if you want to spend the time watching this lecture, which is one [...]

The US occupation of Iraq has been, from the beginning, an exercise in plugging holes, ones that continue to spring up in a variety of different areas only to be met with more corks, more excuses, and the ultimate reality that the United States is responsible for plunging a nation, and a region of the [...]

Well, it doesn’t look like President Bush or Vice President Cheney will be visiting Brattleboro, Vermont, after they leave office. The residents of Brattleboro directed town officials to draft indictments against both Bush and Cheney for violating their oaths of office. A vote was then held, with 2012 citizens supporting the indictment and 1795 voting [...]

When the legal system in a nation attempts to block the disclosure of war crimes for fear of ‘adverse publicity’, you have to wonder just how much we, as the public, don’t know with regards to abuse in war zones, or with regards to detainees in The War On Terror. Most of us enjoy clinging to [...]

When, in 2001, President Bush announced the adoption of what is now known of The Bush Doctine as official US foreign policy, those who were aware of the policies promoted by a cabal of US neoconservatives throughout the 1990’s knew that it was, in truth, simply The Wolfowitz Doctine, the roots of which lay in [...]

I love the War on Terror. Let’s face it, without it, what would I really have to write about on a daily basis? The world has been plunged into the most ambiguous event in modern history, placing those on all sides – and there is certainly more than one – in positions of ensuring their [...]

When all is said and done, it will probably be impossible to know just how many Iraqis will have perished during the war. There are estimates that widely vary, ones that I am sure many of you are already familiar with, so I won’t waste time running through them. But the truth of the matter [...]
