Insurgent American

ON THE BURSTING

HOUSING BUBBLE AND LAND

They can call it “real estate,” but it is space on the surface of the planet, finite space, which is being gobbled up and placed under proprietary control by massive enterprises, at breakneck speed.

No resistance can survive without either outside infusions of resources or native capacity. Native capacity means production under local control.

One main goal of all ostensibly revolutionary projects within the US should be acquiring land — urban, suburban, exurban, semi-rural, and rural. The object of land acquisitions must be to take this land off the market forever. (IA emphasis)

Robert Fisk covers weekend Baghdad talks with Iran.

New Ray McGovern interview: Bomb Iran Campaign less than 50/50 - hmmm? Did Ks. Sen. Pat Roberts do a cover-up?

If you have been following our links then you've seen more than one Ray McGovern piece here.

I like this guy, a former CIA analyst who presented the daily briefs to several past presidents, both Republican and Democrat years ago in the White House. He seems to shoot in the same hole, truthfully and with a factual basis. He has made it a retirement issue to expose the "crazies in the basement" that are now running the country.

He recently put out a piece analyzing "Why Cheney went berserk over Joe Wilson's Op-ed" which I linked to earlier this week located further down the scroll. He mentions our Sen. Pat Roberts in an interesting segment in this interview about a possible cover-up. Pay close attention to it.

It is a great audio download to listen to with the inside scoop on the "Cheney Cabal" from "patriotic truthtellers" who are wacking the crap out of the Busheviks. Example, when Cheney left for Australia did Condi convince Frat Boy to talk to Iran before he left for Latin America?

I am not too sure about all the speculation going on in the media about diplomacy with Iran. The scenario on the water in the Persian Gulf is too hot, a simple misfire or a messy shipwreck could quickly turn into a bombing campaign. You listen and decide (I am still keeping several gas cans filled in my garage and stocking canned foodstuffs in my pantry.)

Angry crowds hunt Bush as protests mark start of Latin American tour | Guardian Unlimited

Hat tip to Tom at Information Clearinghouse for this link, here's what Boy Emperor is receiving during his Latin America tour. Remember Cheney's Australian "visit" last week? Australian police spontaneously lifted a formal ban on street marches to let the determined crowd march to the U. S. consulate. Pictures of that demonstration are in last week's Flyer archive.

Chin up Repugnuts, and Blue Dog Dems in the DLC who supported the phony "War on Terror" - only another two years before the end of your political careers. Of course, why wait? Resign now. Here's what is being reported on from the streets of Brazil:

If President Bush needed a reminder of his growing unpopularity in Latin America, it was here in Sao Paulo in the shape of a 10,000-strong human wave marching noisily through the financial district.

There was none of the famed Brazilian hospitality. Even before Mr Bush arrived in Brazil on Thursday to begin a six-day tour of Latin America the protesters were out en masse. "Persona non grata" read one placard. "Get out you Nazi" said another. In case the message still hadn't hit home, there was one other taunt - this time in English: "Bush, kill yourself."

Click the title line above for much more protest news from Brazil, including the formation of student "Hunt Bush" squads driving to his hotel - compound to run him out of the country. Yeah those Busheviks - tyranny and bankruptcy at home, arrogance and militarism abroad. The real "dead enders" that Chickenhawk Cheney called the Iraqis insurgents are the Busheviks that seized control of the party and conned the Bible beaters on genital issues. Fools led by old draft "exempt" corporate yuppies from the sixties.

How can a Palestinian get to his office to educate him about their side of the issue? Fat chance, they are locked up in the largest prison in the world, an Israelis prison colony, being systematically starved and selectively killed in captivity.

Kansas to be testing ground for the rice with human genes.

Many thanks to Henk at the Foreign Press Foundation for sending us this from The Netherlands HQ! It tells you something about why Sen.

Here's a wrench to throw at them!

It worked! The Nevada Dems tried to have Fox News sponsor their debate. It failed because internet groups and Robert Greenwald's Brave New Films spread the word about how Fox News operates. They commit daily bullshit sessions trashing liberals and the Dems daily, but what they did to Obama was over the top. Watch this video and get a taste of what you missed.

We received the same smears about Obama via email from Repubs who read the Flyer several weeks ago, Repubs who don't check out their facts, but forward any piece of shit they get from their manipulators. Repugnuts are willful dupes for any dirty joke thrown at them about Dems, libs, progs or libertarians - it happens daily in Kansas. Stupid Busheviks.

Is there enough time left? Here's a sledge hammer to throw at them.

Dave Lindorff writes of Washington Dems at This Can't Be Happening!

Dave Lindorff, Ray McGovern and Elizabeth de la Varga spoke to large crowds recently in Washington state as a bill approached committee in the state legislature. Check out what Lindorff describes of the torpedoes sent by the DC Dems to sink the mass effort.

At issue is a bill, S8016, submitted in the state’s senate by freshman state Senator Eric Oemig, which would call on the U.S. Congress to initiate impeachment proceedings against President George Bush for high crimes and misdemeanors against the Constitution and the people of the United States and of the State of Washington. ...

The measure, which would take the form of a joint resolution by the two houses of the Washington state legislature, accords with the instructions laid out by Founder Thomas Jefferson, who, in his Manual of the Rules of the House of Representatives laid out state joint resolutions as an alternative route for initiating presidential impeachment proceedings in the House in addition to the more usual route of a member submitting a bill of impeachment.

Lindorff identifies the tinfish as: Sen. Pat Murray and Rep. Jay Inslee, [who] are undermining Jefferson’s carefully designed fail-safe system by pressuring Democratic state legislators to kill Sen. Oemig’s bill.

Read it all today at: This Can't Be Happening! Also, scroll down the site to read the formal testimony Dave sent to the legislature in support of impeachment.

Truthdig: Can Congress End the War?

David Swanson writes an interesting series of links justifying impeachment measures being taken at a grassroots level:

Voters also appeared to be voting for accountability and possibly for the launching of impeachment hearings as well. Polls prior to the election found that a majority of Americans believed a Democratic Congress would impeach. Candidates who campaigned on the theme of accountability, including Keith Ellison, D-Minn., who promised impeachment, did well. Polls show that a majority of Americans favor impeachment or wish Bush’s presidency were over. Voters in November even booted out a couple of Republicans who had turned against the war, saying that they were voting for a Democratic majority so that the Democrats could investigate the war as well as end it—something a majority of Americans continue to say they want.

Kansas candidate says he'll sue Bush after arrest last November.

THE REAL "WAR ON TERROR" COMES HOME TO KANSAS

Kansas attorney (a friend and neighbor) Dennis Hawver says he'll sue Bush after being rough-handed, evicted and assaulted while lying on the ground in front of the Topeka Expocentre last November. Hawver, who was then running as a Republican candidate for governor was mistreated during a pre-election "appearance" by our criminal Dear Leader who barked campaign contributions from his adoring party apparatchiks, all war-worshiping his messianic stuttering. Readers this is a true "legend before the fall" story that should be followed up on, we will be providing links, and news as it comes in about this Kansas scandal.

HAWVER DID NOT HECKLE OR DISRUPT THE G.O.P. KANSAS ELITE.

KANSAS JUDGES, LAWYERS, ELECTED OFFICIALS WATCHED ON --- AS ONE OF THEIR OWN WAS ROUNDED UP AND ARRESTED.

MANY ARE PLAINLY CHICKENSHIT COLLABORATORS.

Dennis held up an "approved" sign that had been provided by the local Busheviks which he altered to say "War" on one side and a stop sign on the other. All right before being mistreated by Bush gestapo agents. He has a case and real freedom loving citizens should support his effort against the despicable ones here and in DC trashing our democratic freedoms so painfully gained. Defy these Busheviks and their totalitarian methods - from farm to farm, village to village - neighbor to neighbor.

Hence, he will say, 'I have made the unavoidable decision to eliminate this vital threat through direct military action,' and will announce - in language eerily reminiscent of his address to the nation on March 19, 2003 - that a massive air offensive against Iran has already been underway for several hours."

The Ghawar Oil Field: How Much Is Left?

Small Wind in Kansas - and the laws to help prevent us from using it!

(image courtesy: radicalgraphics.org)

ARE THE LAWMAKERS KEEPING US HOOKED ON CROOKED ENERGY COMPANIES IN KANSAS?

Kansas ranks third in the nation for potential electrical generation from wind turbines. Individuals who can afford it should be doing everything possible to learn, install and use this resource toward individual and communal energy independence.

Below from the American Wind Energy Association's "state by state" site. I would highly recommend contacting state authorities (which seem centered around the Kansas Energy Policy group) listed on the page link.

The Kansas governor and many of the state legislators seem determined to construct more coal electric generation plants, but in my opinion that is not strategic and represents a short-sighted sickness many suffer from around Topeka.

Coal has yet to be burned efficiently without CO2 emissions. Until anybody can prove that the energy exchange ratio, the energy it takes to scrub the smoke and the damage it causes toward climate change is eliminated I am strongly opposed to building more of them.

If I'm wrong and what research available indicates that the scrubbers do not eliminate CO2 emmissions and scientifically can't we should not support them and tell the power pigs to shove it. I invite any corporate rep to write in and tell us taht the technology has changed on the stacks otherwise.

Nuclear power which doesn't contribute to CO2 might be practical for large urban areas, but I wouldn't live near one - but considering the wholesale energy hogs in the suburbs and large cities, maybe in a cruel way, (and I am cruel, ask the Nortonville, Ks. village elite) they deserve the nukes in their backyards if they can't make their McMansions energy independent.

Rural communities, farmers and villagers would do far better by investing in their own electrical generation programs using a combination of available methods; solar panels and wind turbines on individual homes, larger municipal wind turbines for the towns that can get their act together and stop stabbing each other in the back.

No small job for the gossiping superstitious drawbacks which seem predominant in the small towns of Kansas. It's going to take some very brave determined leadership to make these changes and the changes should be as fast as possible. We better consider it as a necessary strategic local manufacturing industry in order to combat further domination by distant corrupt corporate elites.

What would be wrong with residential gray water systems to water the villagers lawns, programs that don't just conserve energy but produces food and energy?

What would be wrong with the town returning to gravel roads instead of outrageously expensive street pavement projects?

What would be wrong with small communities building their own wind turbine electrification towers?

What would be wrong with scuttling the streets and spend the money on installing and maintaining residential (roof to roof, yard to yard) energy producing projects for each of the town's dwellers?

What would be wrong with banning cars, trucks from small towns and promote electric scooters and bicycles for local people to cross a few blocks?

All of these technologies will be getting more and more expensive to use as petroleum based products gets tighter and tighter on a world wide scale. Why wait?

By using a layered approach these measures would safeguard a redundancy so necessary to survive intact, at least temporarily, catastrophic economic collapse of the national or regional energy infrastructure.

It is the difference between plunging back to the Dark Ages in weeks or months, instead of a "soft landing" taking perhaps several decades. Today the selfish dog-eat-dog attitudes and lack of critical citizen awareness and cohesion will prevent it, but that can change with the first rolling brown-outs and black-outs and gasoline price spikes. Why wait?

From the web page, don't forget to bookmark it and explore the whole site for contacts, links and technological stuff:

"Through statutory authority, Kansas allows residential renewable energy facilities of up to 25 kW and commercial facilities of up to 100 kW to connect to the utility grid; however, there are currently no statewide uniform interconnection standards for these systems. All that is currently specified is that a utility may enforce any safety, equipment, or power quality requirements it deems appropriate. Utilities may also install a manual external disconnect device if the customer refuses to do so."

3000 operational multi-warhead nuclear ICBM missiles isn't enough to defend us abroad. Gut the country of our armed forces for defense of our borders and launch pre-emptive wars for oil. What a crock of wasteful shit these people are shoveling to us.

A recent hushed fact heard from the confusing blitz of congressional hearings: 40% of all operational vehicles, tanks etc. have been stationed [and ruined] in Iraq. That is worldwide, including all those hundreds of bases abroad that we pay for - 737 according to Chalmers Johnson's book "The Sorrows of Empire."

It would take one short month to withdraw all our military forces from Iraq and these shills are dragging their feet, sucking cash - grinning at us like the taxpaying fools we are - every goddamn village in this country should be going "energy independent" and learning to live good with less.

United States Senator Pat Roberts : Press Room

Sen. Roberts and Douglas Feith - They did the heavy lifting and are now mere water boys carrying buckets full of American soldier's blood for the Bush regime.

Below the most recent available press release from Sen. Robert's own web site - and a telling one, as stale and ill-kept as it is, concerning what critics have called his "heavy lifting" for the Bush administration. The massive lies perpetrated on the American public and the Democrat's charged with oversight (cowardly at best during the pre-Iraq invasion) is finally coming to light, but Sen. Robert's rather than put the blame squarely on Bush and his own shoulders - feed us more scapegoating.

It is well known that the Bush regime classifies more documents as "secret" and thus prevents only an extremely select few in congress to examine them - all under the phony "War on Terror" Homeland Security bullshit. The buckets of blood being thrown on the fire to stop the war, confuse the American public (as was so expertly done in the run-up to invasion) stains only those politicians who supported this damn criminal fiasco upon the taxpayers. We are all complicit and those "leaders" the bull shit "war leaders" should be put in dockets, tried and punished for this 460 billion dollar boondoggle for the "military industrial complex" - let alone the now anticipated 660 billion dollar '08 FY military budget coming down the pipeline.

Chairman Roberts Comments on Democrat Additional Views to Phase II Report

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Pat Roberts, Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, made the following comments concerning Democrat additional views on the release of two of the Committee’s “Phase II” reports on prewar intelligence about Iraq:

“The additional views of the Committee's Democrats are little more than a rehashing of the same unfounded allegations they've used for over three years,” Roberts said. “They echoed the same themes in their additional views in the Committee’s 2004 report. Their effort represents a misuse of the Intelligence Committee by careful cherry-picking through the intelligence and the facts in a political attempt to rewrite history.

“The long known fact is that the prewar intelligence was wrong. That flawed intelligence was used by policymakers, both in the administration and in Congress, as one of numerous justifications to go to war in Iraq. The same intelligence was collectively believed and used, leading to the same assertive public statements regarding the threat posed by Saddam Hussein.

If you wallowed through all that crap in brown above then what do you think he is saying? How about "we got fooled by Bush/Cheney so you got fooled, too." And he wants us to keep him and his gang leaders in the GOP in DC - just how big a fool does he take us as being? Pretty big.

Democracy Now! | Cheering Movers and Art Student Spies: Was Israel Tracking the Hijackers Before the 9/11 Attacks?

I will not go on and on about 9/11, it's way too late for all that - the future well being and existence of the country is at stake now days. Only because Alexander Cockburn has published this will I recommend it, that and he has expressed similar sentiments as well. Reluctantly I link this spin off the recent Counterpunch hard copy article concerning more information on a tragedy that has transfixed the Left to the point of paralysis: Was Israel Tracking the Hijackers Before the 9/11 Attacks?

TomDispatch: Chalmers Johnson, Nemesis on the Imperial Premises

I finished reading his 2nd book "The Sorrows of Empire" just last Fall and am still writing from it as a major source in my stuff. Below who Chalmers Johnson "is" for the unacquainted. I always enjoy promoting independent writing from "insiders" - Johnson began in the military service as a critic against the anti-war movement during Viet Nam.

From Tom's Dispatch description:

Chalmers Johnson is a retired professor of Asian Studies at the University of California, San Diego. From 1968 until 1972 he served as a consultant to the Office of National Estimates of the Central Intelligence Agency. Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic, the final volume in his Blowback Trilogy, is just now being published. In 2006 he appeared in the prize-winning documentary film Why We Fight.

You can also scroll further down or go to Antiwar.com and find in their new radio section where there is a great short interview with him to download in an ipod or .mp3 format.

Kunstler is not much of a political goose, he tends to cut across Right, Left and middle in his prose and is always entertaining. He remains one of the best to offer some clear insight into what people can do to survive in the failing American empire.

BUSH GAVE US WAR - NOW GIVE HIM HELL FOR IT.

By

Molly Ivins

The purpose of this old-fashioned newspaper crusade to stop the war is not to make George W. Bush look like the dumbest president ever. People have done dumber things. What were they thinking when they bought into the Bay of Pigs fiasco? How dumb was the Egypt-Suez war? How massively stupid was the entire war in Vietnam? Even at that, the challenge with this misbegotten adventure is that we simply cannot let it continue.

It is not a matter of whether we will lose or we are losing. We have lost. Gen. John P. Abizaid, until recently the senior commander in the Middle East, insists that the answer to our problems there is not military. "You have to internationalize the problem. You have to attack it diplomatically, geo-strategically," he said. His assessment is supported by Gen. George W. Casey Jr., the departing senior American commander in Iraq, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who only recommend releasing forces with a clear definition of the goals for the additional troops.

Bush's call for a "surge" or "escalation" also goes against the Iraq Study Group.

Talk is that the White House has planned to do anything but what the group suggested after months of investigation and proposals based on much broader strategic implications.

About the only politician out there besides Bush actively calling for a surge is Sen. John McCain. In a recent opinion piece, he wrote: "The presence of additional coalition forces would allow the Iraqi government to do what it cannot accomplish today on its own — impose its rule throughout the country. . . . By surging troops and bringing security to Baghdad and other areas, we will give the Iraqis the best possible chance to succeed."

But with all due respect to the senator from Arizona, that ship has long since sailed.

A surge is not acceptable to the people in this country — we have voted overwhelmingly against this war in polls (about 80 percent of the public is against escalation, and a recent Military Times poll shows only 38 percent of active military want more troops sent) and at the polls.
We know this is wrong. The people understand, the people have the right to make this decision, and the people have the obligation to make sure our will is implemented.

Congress must work for the people in the resolution of this fiasco.
Ted Kennedy's proposal to control the money and tighten oversight is a welcome first step.

And if Republicans want to continue to rubber-stamp this administration's idiotic "plans" and go against the will of the people, they should be thrown out as soon as possible, to join their recent colleagues.

Anyone who wants to talk knowledgably about our Iraq misadventure should pick up Rajiv Chandrasekaran's "Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone." It's like reading a horror novel. You just want to put your face down and moan: How could we have let this happen? How could we have been so stupid?

As The Washington Post's review notes, Chandrasekaran's book "methodically documents the baffling ineptitude that dominated U.S. attempts to influence Iraq's fiendish politics, rebuild the electrical grid, privatize the economy, run the oil industry, recruit expert staff or instill a modicum of normalcy to the lives of Iraqis."

We are the people who run this country. We are the deciders. And every single day, every single one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war. Raise hell. Think of something to make the ridiculous look ridiculous. Make our troops know we're for them and trying to get them out of there. Hit the streets to protest Bush's proposed surge. . . . We need people in the streets, banging pots and pans and demanding, "Stop it, now!"

Record deficit spending and social cuts proposed in new Bush budget.

The Bush regime submits a record $2.9 Trillion public budget; including the largest military budget in history - and $260 billion to pay for the interest on the deficit of the last year. Social spending on Medicaid and education will be squeezed or cut - making room for a record $700 billion for funding the failing empire's "wars" in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Insurgent American: The “CENTCOM Lie of the Day” is back

The massacre of Iraqis pilgrims is being used to spread Pentagon disinformation and war propaganda and reports are disputing press releases from official sources. American Insurgent cited the same Truthdig article (scroll below) and head honcho, Stan Goff is making a very logical and feasible action plan for internet bloggers and readers.

He writes:

Here is what we would like you to do.

Lies like this are not only emblematic of this whole war, they are always uncovered and stuck under the noses of official-dum and the corporate entertainment-press by the indoctrination bypass mechanisms available on the internet… like us.

Take this appeal, with links, and distribute it to as many people as possible who have newsgroups, blogs, etc. This lie is still warm, so we can get in front of it fast if we use democratically controlled information technology.

Begin it with an outstanding article, joining the nationwide mobilization:

"The Libby case testimony, centered on the chicanery of the vice president, certainly suggests that impeachable offenses occurred at the highest level of the White House. Just how conscious the president was of the deceits conducted under his authority, what he knew and when he knew it, is precisely what an impeachment trial would determine."

"To allow a president to break the law and commit a felony for more than five years without even a formal independent investigation would be the ultimate subversion of the Constitution and the rule of law. As Judge Taylor warned in her decision, 'There are no hereditary kings in America.'"

Hamilton Spectator - Sniper - The True Story of James Kopp

SHORT NOTES

TO DUMB AMERICANS

ABOUT THE REAL WAR AGAINST TERRORISM

FOUGHT ON THE HOMEFRONT.

Today was an interesting news day - James Kopp was sentenced to another life sentence for the brutal murder of a womens' doctor who performed abortions in New York.

Most media neglect reporting that the doctor was shot in the family's kitchen in front of his family. Most media neglects to report the full extent of how much very real terror swept through this country. Why, you may ask? Because most of the terrorists were/are fanatical right-wingers, Christian, flag waving patriots and white - a combination where, as in the civil rights struggle, most law enforcement authorities have deep sympathies and share core beliefs. Only the best peace officers prosecuted these terrorists. Never forget this fact when reading this post and the post below it.

The dominant media today also neglects the incredible "paper wars" that raged between local FBI field offices and the national DC bureaucracy and the politics field agents had to buck to pursue the arsonists, bombers and murderers involved against abortion.

Even today, as reports of more prosecutions are pursued after the racist death squads dominated the people of the South during the sixties - an untold story of "pro-life" fundamentalist Christians terrorizing women, doctors and nurses who performed abortions has yet to be told.

In Kansas with an outgoing Attorney General that hired an arrested and convicted clinic blockader on the state's payroll, and allowed at least one convicted clinic bomber to work in his recent failed re-election bid.

Someday we may read of people fellow Kansans - in similar situations as below.

From Wickipedia: "It is possible that the killing of Slepian was not Kopp's only crime. The FBI notes "(t)he shooting was similar to shootings in Rochester, New York, and three Canadian cities during the fall of 1997, in which abortion doctors were shot in their homes."[2] Kopp has been charged by Canadian authorities in the 1995 shooting of Ontario doctor Hugh Short, one of a string of Remembrance Day shootings (see [3]).
Kopp is currently serving in Niagara County Jail in Lockport, New York.[4][5] Kopp will spend the rest of his life in solitary confinement, locked up 23 hours a day in the nation's most secure prison if he insists on a trial and is convicted. If he pleads guilty, he will be sentenced to a medium-security federal prison.[6]"

THE HOT DAYS OF HATE

HAVE NOT DISAPPEARED

AND MAY BE RETURNING!

If you have been following the recent news coverage of what big media call "another Klan cold case" you might like taking a trip back through our archives of another case near a similar site of a sixties death squad active in Neshoba county, Mississippi go to: http://fightincockflyer.blogspot.com/search?q=neshoba the links should still be active. The link will appear below this post.

And if you haven't heard yet what's airing on the news, here is what's going on - and it is remarkable - how one victim's brother [more than thirty-five years later] returns with a few reporters, did their own investigation into locating the men who tortured and killed his brother and another. Locals including members of the press reported to the investigators that the perpetrators were long dead.

The link below provides a cold look into the conditions faced by those supporting civil rights in Ole Mississip' and how rotten to the core the culture, people and society remained after Reconstruction.

It is a remarkable story told by a local paper.

The men had been accused in 1964 after an intense federal investigation where bodies were turning up all across the South, in this case the two torsos, skulls, chains and jerry rigged anchors were found by Navy divers under the supervision of the FBI. The murder charges were referred by the FBI to the local government who promptly dropped them.

It is also interesting that during that time the victims, two local young men were accused of being "Muslims organizing" in the area during those hot days of the civil rights struggle in the South. In fact they were merely hitch hiking to a dance and were barely involved in any civil rights organizing.

Read below and follow the local paper that told the story appearing in the news today:

"Following are links to the Jackson Free Press' full, and ongoing, package of stories about 1960s Klan activity in the Natchez-Meadville-Roxie, Miss., area, starting with the award-winning investigative story by Donna Ladd and a team of young Mississippians, working with David Ridgen, a documentary filmmaker from the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., about Thomas' Moore's 2005 return to Mississippi to seek justice for his brother's murder. In the first story, the Jackson Free Press first reported the news that both of the main Klan suspects are still alive in the Natchez area—although The Clarion-Ledger and other media had previously reported that the primary suspect had died."
