US casualties are climbing back up.

by Charles Coughlin

It looks like casualties are climbing back up in Iraq. Casualties dropped to 23 US soldiers killed in December, but climbed back up to 40 in January and should hit 52 in February considering that there are 15 dead for the first eight days.

We have been propagandized by the neocons for the last few months that the “surge is working” but the current drop in casualties is not much different from earlier random fluctuations in casualties. For example, casualties dropped to 31 in March of 2006 (without a surge) and then climbed to 106 per month by October, 2006.

The US has tried a “surge” tactic before in Vietnam –only back then it was called an “escalation.” The escalation ultimately increased our troop strength to over one million troops, but we still lost with 58 thousand dead and over 300 thousand wounded.

A number of pundits suspected that the neocons had caused a temporary drop in casualties by cutting back on patrols in the shooting galleries of Fallujah, Baghdad and various other cities, where our presence isn’t wanted and that control of some parts of Iraq was being handed over to local mullahs. This wouldn’t be the first time the neocons blatantly lied to us. By pretending that the surge was a big success, they will do more surges in the future whenever we start to lose control again.

Anyone who questions whether or not it really is “Hillary’s turn” to be president should find food for thought in the subservient behavior of a federal court in suppressing a film critical of her past and her policies, and subjecting those who made and financed that movie to potential Clinton retaliation.

The Associated Press reports: “Three federal judges appeared in agreement Wednesday that a movie lambasting Hillary Clinton seemed an awful lot like a 90-minute campaign advertisement. Citizens United, a conservative advocacy group, is challenging the nation’s campaign finance laws, which require disclaimers on political advertisements and restrict when they can be broadcast. The group argues Hillary: The Movie and related television advertisements are not political advertising even though the New York senator is in the presidential race. Attorney James Bopp argued that they should be considered ‘issue- oriented’ speech because viewers aren’t urged to vote for or against the Democrat.”

He was ignored, of course. It’s a sign of the time; that old liberal double standard from the 1990s is coming back already even before Mommy Dearest plunks her Prada-clad butt down in the Oval Office. (more…)

PETA chimes in on cannibal case.

by Jeff Davis

This one definitely falls into the “you couldn’t make this stuff up” category. The Tyler (Texas) Morning Telegraph says: “Sheriff’s officials were astounded Thursday by a letter requesting the man accused of murdering his girlfriend and possibly participating in cannibalism be placed on a vegetarian diet to keep him from being ‘involved in any senseless killing’ while incarcerated. The letter was faxed to the Smith County Sheriff’s Jail from the national headquarters of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Thursday morning.”

One is almost tempted to suspect this was a prank by someone with a ghoulish sense of humor, but apparently not. What in the name of sanity would make a PETA spokesman think that controlling the diet of this inmate will do any good? For crying out loud, this psycho was eating a human being!!! Don’t you think eating hamburgers would be an improvement?!!! (more…)

The wealthiest of Israel’s elite are starting to seek out new homes elsewhere. This should tell us something about what may be in store. Some of us may remember Marc Rich, possibly the biggest tax dodger in US history, who fled to Israel. About seven years ago, just as Clinton was leaving office, Marc Rich got a pardon dropped in his lap. He may have been the first of many wealthy Jews looking to escape Israel.

Another super-rich Jew has recently relocated. The Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz reports: “Israeli diamond billionaire Lev Leviev, who immigrated to Israel from Uzbekistan in 1971, has bought the most expensive new property ever sold in Britain -a $70 million home with a bullet-proof front door costing $100,000, British real estate dealers said on Tuesday. The 51-year-old businessman best known for his diamond trading company and who is estimated to be worth $6.5 billion, is expected to move with his wife and two of his nine children.” (more…)

The ignorant and/or the Diebold machines decide the Super Tuesday primaries.

by James Buchanan

Imagine a truly great American like Thomas Jefferson being reincarnated, and then imagine him running in a primary against the political equivalent of FDR and Bill Clinton posing as Republicans. Then imagine Thomas Jefferson losing to two of the worst politicians in American history. Well, if you were watching the election results for the Republican party on Super Tuesday, you don’t have to imagine anything, it was real.

A Reuters article reports “McCain won nine states, including key victories in California and big Northeastern states to take a daunting lead in the Republican race. He captured a huge haul of delegates who select the party’s presidential nominee, in part because many of the 21 Republican contests were winner-take-all. Republican rivals Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee kept their hopes alive and vowed to fight on. Romney won six states and Huckabee won five. ‘Tonight, I think we must get used to the idea that we are the Republican Party frontrunner for the nomination,’ McCain told supporters in Scottsdale, Arizona.”

The best man in the election, Ron Paul has apparently had the worst day with results mostly in the single digits and a few possible second place finishes. The “Amnesty twins” John McCain and Mike Huckabee have reportedly won the day. McCain took New York, California and several other states delivering a crushing defeat to Mitt Romney, who limped home with a total of six mostly small states. Mike Huckabee scored five states, winning a good portion of the South, setting himself up as a likely vice president for McCain. (more…)

If McCain and Huckabee nose dive on Super Tuesday, a much more interesting Romney-Paul contest may develop..

by James Buchanan

A Reuters article reports “Voters in 24 states make their choices in an unpredictable presidential campaign on Tuesday… On the biggest day of voting ever in a U.S. primary race, candidates in both parties compete on ‘Super Tuesday’ for a huge haul of delegates to this summer’s nominating conventions… 40 percent of the Republican delegates are up for grabs on Tuesday. Georgia is the first state to end voting at 7 p.m. EST, although West Virginia Republicans will make their choices at a convention earlier in the day.”

While there has been much talk about John McCain, there’s a strong chance that Super Tuesday will be McCain’s Waterloo. McCain has been relentlessly attacked by every conservative spokesman from Rush Limbaugh to Ann Coulter. McCain has been called an “anti-conservative” and Ms. Coulter said that she would campaign for Hillary if McCain won the GOP nomination because Hillary would be the less liberal candidate. (more…)

One thing I’ve always wondered is what happens in America if a politician simply decides not to play by the rules and to ignore the latest election –especially if the election is of dubious Diebold origins.

Well, Channel 6 News in Indianapolis is reporting “Though a new Anderson mayor has been inaugurated, the man he replaced says he’s not officially acknowledging the change, citing a lawsuit questioning the election winner’s residency. Ex-Mayor Kevin Smith on Tuesday issued a statement contending it is his constitutional duty to keep claiming the office until the lawsuit — which alleges new Mayor Kris Ockomon wasn’t an Anderson resident for a required period before the election — is adjudicated. On Wednesday morning, a judge sent the lawsuit to the Indiana Supreme Court, asking it to appoint a special judge to the case. Ockomon, who was sworn in Tuesday, has assumed the mayor’s duties and has moved into the mayor’s official office. But Smith says he’ll still claim the title of mayor until the lawsuit is resolved.”

Come on now, Ken! A lawsuit? That’s not the way it’s done in good old Latin American style! You need to barricade yourself and your boys in your office and keep on fighting until you run out of ammunition! (more…)

One of the little-known and least studied effects of diversity and multiculturalism is the way in which the First World is quietly sliding back into the past, a past we once thought we’d pulled our way up out of. Parts of our lives are literally beginning to go back in time.

Increasingly, our work conditions are less stable than those of our parents or grandparents. Working conditions in the American labor market, once the home of the eight-hour day, the 40-hour week, and employer-provided medical insurance, are now reverting back to the cruel and bad old days of 19th century Baron-Robber Capitalism. Instead of hiring a few more employees, most companies like Boeing will just arm twist their employees into working 50 or 60 hour weeks. This may be OK for a bachelor, but what about men with families, who’d like to spend some time with the wife and children? (more…)

Ron Paul easily pulls in one million on first day.

by James Buchanan

There is a five day Ron Paul fund-raiser going on right now with a goal of raising five million in five days. The first day has gone well pulling in one million dollars with forty minutes to go. A recent e-mail from the Ron Paul organization reports “Your generous contributions are essential if we’re going to keep going until September. We need, frankly $5 million by February 5 to run more TV and radio ads in the Super Tuesday states. Your help means everything.” Donations can be made here:

Please encourage the Ron Paul campaign to focus on three things: (1).Enforcing immigration law, (2).Ending the Iraq War and (3).Reminding voters that only Ron Paul has a consistent record (while his opponents have flip-flopped). Some of the Paul Campaign’s earlier political ads have focused on other secondary issues, which won’t win the election. Please contact the Paul campaign and tell them which issues are the most important and not to waste money running political ads that are ineffective..
