White Civil Rights : The Website for Europeans and Americans Wherever They May Live

Vince Ricardo, an elderly Italian immigrant, died alone in his apartment. If he had any children, none of them made a serious effort to contact him for over a year. For all the money the government takes from us, not one health care worker stopped by his apartment to check on him. Vince no doubt spent his life voting Democrat or Republican, and all he got was a tiny apartment and a multi-racial society that couldn’t care less if one more old White person passed away.

According to a Reuters news article “Police called to a Long Island man’s house discovered the mummified remains of the resident, dead for more than a year, sitting in front of a blaring television set. The 70-year-old Hampton Bays, New York, resident, identified as Vincenzo Ricardo, appeared to have died of natural causes. Police said on Saturday his body was discovered on Thursday when they were called to the house over a burst water pipe.”

The article continues, “‘You could see his face. He still had hair on his head,’ Newsday quoted morgue assistant Jeff Bacchus as saying. The home’s low humidity had preserved the body. Officials could not explain why the electricity had not been turned off, considering Ricardo had not been heard from since December 2005. Neighbors said when they had not seen Ricardo, who was diabetic and had been blind for years, they assumed he was in the hospital or a long-term care facility.” The poor old man apparently couldn’t even see the screen of the TV he died in front of…although, on second thought, maybe that was a blessing in disguise.

How Significant Is the Anti-Surge Resolution?

by James Buchanan

The House of Representatives has voted by an overwhelming majority (246 to 182) to disapprove Bush’s troop surge plan for Iraq. Seventeen Republicans jumped ship and voted against the troop escalation. Six months ago, there was no chance of any such vote. It didn’t matter if 3,000 US soldiers died or whether 30,0000 died, Bush and the neocons want us in Iraq forever. Anyone who needs proof of this only needs to tune into C-SPAN and listen to the Kool-Aid drinkers who are comparing Iraq to World War Two, the Civil War and one addle-headed Republican neocon, who compared Iraq to the Alamo. I guess that particular neocon thinks we should ride out the Iraq War –even if it winds up like the Alamo. Hopefully, someone will dig into video archives that date back to the Vietnam War and find Congressmen making nearly identical statements to those of the neocon chickenhawks, who would rather lose another 3,000 US soldiers than admit that the Iraq War was wrong from the start.

One war critic writes “In a significant defeat for President George W. Bush, the House of Representatives Friday voted… to ‘disapprove’ his plan to add an estimated 30,000 U.S. troops…The vote, which capped 48 hours of debate over the past four days, constituted the first Congressional denunciation of Bush’s Iraq policy and set the stage for a major battle next month over his request that the legislature approve nearly 100 billion dollars more to finance U.S. military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan this year. Backed by polls that show almost two out of three U.S. voters oppose Bush’s plan, often referred to as ‘the surge,’ Democrats are already preparing conditions and restrictions they plan to attach to Bush’s request. If approved, they will make it far more difficult for Bush to add the troops…”

A number of political pundits have said that a “non-binding” resolution is a waste of time. We are losing soldiers almost every day and our politicians are unwilling to admit a mistake. Given the extremely slippery, slimy nature of the neocons, it’s not too surprising that the Democrats are proceeding cautiously. Bush, Karl Rove and a gaggle of neocon talk show hosts have been screaming “traitor” whenever any sane person suggested that we cut our losses and get out. Somehow, the neocons have convinced millions of people that “supporting the troops” means leaving them in the center of a Middle East shooting gallery forever. The American public must realize that supporting the troops means bringing them home. (more…)

Gentle reader, you are probably unaware of former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski’s damning indictment of the Bush Regime in his testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 1, 2007, as the United States no longer has a media – only a government propaganda ministry.

Brzezinski damned the Bush Regime’s war in Iraq as “a historic, strategic, and moral calamity.” Brzezinski damned the war as “driven by Manichean impulses and imperial hubris.” He damned the war for “intensifying regional instability” and for “undermining America’s global legitimacy.”

Finally, a voice with weight speaks. Brzezinski is a real intellect, a real expert, unlike the political hacks who have followed him in the office.

Brzezinski told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that “the final destination on this downhill track is likely to be a head-on conflict with Iran and with much of the world of Islam.” Brzezinski predicts “some provocation in Iraq or a terrorist act in the U.S. blamed on Iran; culminating in a ‘defensive’ U.S. military action against Iran that plunges a lonely America into a spreading and deepening quagmire eventually ranging across Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.” (more…)

Here it comes, folks. Sleaze, sleaze, sleaze to delight the jaded palate of the pack of Jerry Springer degenerates that is America today. Oh, this one is going to run and run! It’s got Michael Jackson beat all to hell–a busty blond bimbo with nothing but pork fat between her ears and the morals of an alley cat, not to mention sex, sex and more sex, a doddering old billionaire, a legal custody battle for the soap-opera fans, and a possible hint of murder hanging in the air. There’s glam and glitz and bling-bling and a $475 million fortune in the balance, and a cute baby girl for the schmaltz angle. Oh, yeah! Hoo-ra! When we should be paying attention to what George Bush and his neocon buddies are doing in Iraq and Iran, our bird-brained nation will be glued to the tube and the story of the trashy life and death of Vicky Marshall, aka Anna Nicole Smith.

One news article reports “A newspaper published two photographs on its front page Monday showing Anna Nicole Smith lying in bed fully clothed in a romantic embrace with the Bahamian immigration minister, who approved her application for permanent residency.” The Bahamian immigration minister is, of course, as black as the ace of spades. Anna Nicole Smith was completely devoid of any sense of heritage or shame –a product of our public school system and degenerate culture. She has fooled around with body guards, Hollywood pretty boys and one corpse-like billionaire. “Immigration Minister Shane Gibson has come under criticism from the political opposition for giving the former Playboy Playmate special treatment in granting Smith residency in the Bahamas last year.” (Corruption in a Third World country? A black official exchanging legal favors for sexual favors? I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked! (more…)

Almost every day lately there’s a new headline about how “Iran is making bombs for the Iraqi rebels.” The information is supplied by a White House spokesman or a source in the military, where truthful officers like General Shinseki are speedily punished. Excuse me, but isn’t this the same administration that lied about WMD’s day-after-day for months prior to the Iraq War? What exactly has changed that makes anything they say believable? For the last four years the Iraqis have been making roadside bombs out of thousands of artillery shells they looted from unguarded ammo dumps. (The ammo dumps were unguarded because we sent too few troops.) Despite this fact, we’re told that the rebels can no longer make improvised explosive devices on their own, but must import these from Iran. The mainstream press is failing miserably to do their job as journalists, Instead, they are willing accomplices helping the neocons pave the way for yet another war of aggression.

The latest war propaganda claim is that there are “Iranian agents” in Iraq. This combined with the “Iranian bomb” story is meant to fool most of us into going along with a brand new neocon war. According to a recent news article “Former National Security Advisor… Zbigniew Brzezinski tacitly warned a Senate Foreign Relations Committee last week that an attack on Iran could be launched following a staged provocation in Iraq or a false flag terror attack within the U.S. Brzezinski alluded to the potential for the Bush administration to manufacture a false flag Gulf of Tonkin type incident…” And Bush’s Big Oil buddies will cash in as crude oil prices shoot through the roof, possibly as high as $200 a barrel, and prices at the pump as high as $6 per gallon.

Two weeks ago I discussed how Congress and the administration use our fiat money system to literally create some of the funds needed to prosecute our ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We’ve already spent more than $500 billion in Iraq, mostly through supplemental spending bills that are not part of the normal appropriations and budget process. But with costs soaring and no end to the war in sight, yet another supplemental spending bill must be passed soon – and both parties in Congress are only too willing to provide the money under the guise of supporting the troops.

Never mind that the American people showed their dissatisfaction with the war in the fall elections. Congress lacks the political will to stand up to the administration and assert its power over the purse strings, and too many vested interests in the defense sector benefit from the supplemental bills. A cynic might even suggest that many Democrats want the war to drag on, despite their supposed opposition, to damage the president politically and benefit them in 2008. But whatever the reason, the money for war keeps flowing.

Defense Department officials will ask Congress for the next supplemental bill in coming weeks. The amount requested is likely to be at least $140 billion. If we stay in Iraq beyond 2007 – and the administration has made it clear that we will – the bill to American taxpayers easily could top one trillion dollars in another year or two. (more…)

In every Revolution, there are heroic moments when brave men stand up to tyranny and speak the truth despite an oppressive tyranny that seeks to banish the truth. The following speech by a very brave high school principal looks like one of those milestone events which mark a turning point where ordinary people begin to wake up. –Charles Coughlin

Principal Jody McLeod’s Speech Follows:

“It has always been the custom at Roane County High School football games, to say a prayer and play the National Anthem, to honor God and Country.

Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court, I am told that saying a Prayer is a violation of Federal Case Law. As I understand the law at this time, I can use this public facility to approve of sexual perversion and call it “an alternate lifestyle,” and if someone is offended, that’s OK.

I can use it to condone sexual promiscuity, by dispensing condoms and calling it, “safe sex.” If someone is offended, that’s OK.

I can even use this public facility to present the merits of killing an unborn baby as a “viable means of birth control.” If someone is offended, no problem…

I can designate a school day as “Earth Day” and involve students in activities to worship religiously and praise the goddess “Mother Earth” and call it “ecology.” (more…)

An interesting historical anecdote has surfaced which enables scholarly types to date what we refer to as “Political Correctness” today, to one of its earliest manifestations, in the time of British novelist Charles Dickens. This was the same era in which Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, and the early Fabian Socialists thrived, and also the era in which “anti-Semitism,” also known as criticism or an accurate portrayal of the Jews, became “unfashionable” in the English-speaking world.

The BBC reports that “Charles Dickens’ portrayal of one of his most famous villains may have been altered after he received letters accusing him of anti-Semitism.” The character in question, of course, was the famous East End master of thieves and trainer of young pickpockets in Oliver Twist, the famous Fagin. Fagin was portrayed by the novelist as a Jew for the simple reason that in Dickens’ day, before Jews moved up to white collar crimes such as insider trading, petty crime was a very Jewish field of endeavor and the Tribe were noted for their thieving and corrupt tendencies, especially in London’s teeming East End. As an aside, the infamous Jack the Ripper who slaughtered six prostitutes in the East End in the autumn of 1888 was widely believed at the time to be a Jew, so much so that there were a number of anti-Jewish assaults and riots among local inhabitants as the killings continued. One source notes “Chalked on the wall above (one of the murders) were these words: ‘The Jewes are the men what won’t be blamed for nothing.’ This writing was immediately wiped off the wall by order of Sir Charles Warren, who feared a demonstration against the Jews.”

Getting back to the BBC report on Dickens, “Eliza Davies, the wife of a Jewish banker, wrote to Dickens in 1863 complaining of the ‘vile prejudice against the despised Hebrew.’ The letters are held at University College London’s (UCL) library. It is thought the last chapter of Oliver Twist may have been revised in 1867 to show Fagin in a better light.” The end of the novel concludes with Fagin in the death cell screaming and cringing and fawning, out of his mind with fear, while he waits to be hanged at dawn. If that is a “better light,” then it would be interesting to see how the original version of the book read. (more…)

In another mighty triumph for feminism, a female astronaut has been charged with attempted kidnapping and several other felonies in a love triangle that left the planet. I swear you couldn’t make this stuff up!

Everyone knows the federal government goes out of its way to hire women and minorities instead of white males. Liberals have endlessly proclaimed that jobs which require both physical stamina and technical knowledge don’t require white men. They tell us that minorities are just as smart as white men and that women are just as strong as well as emotionally stable in a high stress environment. While that may be true for a few women, it surely wasn’t true for this demented cracker box who actually went up on a shuttle mission last year and who is now charged with attempted kidnapping and murder.

According to Yahoo News, “An astronaut (Lisa Nowak) drove 900 miles and donned a disguise to confront a woman she believed was her rival for the affections of a space shuttle pilot. She was arrested Monday and charged with attempted kidnapping and other counts. U.S. Navy Capt. Lisa Nowak, 43, who flew last July on a shuttle mission to the international space station, was also charged with attempted vehicle burglary with battery, destruction of evidence and battery. She was denied bail…Police said Nowak drove from her home in Houston to the Orlando International Airport to confront Colleen Shipman. Nowak believed Shipman was romantically involved with Navy Cmdr. William Oefelein, a pilot during space shuttle Discovery’s trip to the space station last December….Police officers recovered a love letter to Oefelein in her car.” (more…)

How big is President George W. Bush’s proposed 2008 Pentagon budget?

At nearly $623 billion for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, its size earned nothing but editorial superlatives and a scramble for historical precedents that could put the sum in perspective.

“Bush’s Defense Budget Biggest Since Reagan Era,” headlined the Washington Post, which noted in its subtitle that “Iraq, Afghanistan Spending Top Vietnam War.”

The Congressional Quarterly Today went even further back, noting that “War Spending Would Top Korea and Vietnam Marks…,” while the venerable New York Times was somewhat more restrained, noting only that the total request constituted a “Record.”

Even the far-right Washington Times seemed impressed, noting in its sub-headline that “U.S. allocation to security programs exceeds rest of world combined” and including in its lead paragraph the fact that the total request marked “the largest sum in inflation-adjusted dollars since 1946,” just one year after World War II.

“What’s remarkable about this year’s military budget is that it’s the largest budget since World War II, but, of course, we’re not fighting World War II,” noted William Hartung, a defense expert at the World Policy Institute in New York.

“We’re fighting terrorist networks armed with explosives and AK-47s. This has to be considered a triumph of an arms lobby that can obviously sell us things we don’t need at a time that the president claims we’re in mortal danger.” (more…)
