Fox Host: Confronters of Bad Government Should be Tased and Beaten

Faux News' Brian Kilmead, just another greasy-headed neocon scumbag, said on the Fox and Friends morning show Monday (w/ video) that public confronters of politicians are somehow threatening, and they should be tased and "beaten to a pulp." He was directing that particularly towards the Code Pink activists, who just last week confronted Hillary Clinton at a forum in Los Angeles on global warming, heckling the neocon in disguise during a speech. Kilmead went on to include some recent incidents which were devised by the We Are Change group in his argument. Other completely stupid statements by this guy lately include proposing car bombs and other forms of terrorism in Iran.

In the world of Faux News and other mainstream establishment media, anyone who goes against the government should be punished accordingly. How they can still have the nerve to call that a democracy is beyond me. These are the real domestic enemies, and none care to pick up a history book anymore to truly see what they're repeating. What is 'threatening' is people like Kilmead in the mainstream media, who like to let everyone know on national television that they're fully aware of the bad deeds being conjured up by our government, and continue to spin it in ways that make it look legitimate to the unsuspecting layman. The info war with the mainstream media continues as they attempt to ridicule truth-seekers as terrorists. As you can see, they must be losing.

John Bolton Hopes Americans Will Choose Another President with a Neocon Foreign Policy

John Bolton says that American voters should have foreign policy at the top of their list of demands for their choice of president. He wishes for another administration that will stray further away from our national interests, and seems to really think that neocons still have any legitimate support base in this country. He certainly doesn't want to realize that a majority of Americans want a total 180 in our foreign policy, and with his pushing that priority down our throats will only have the opposite effect on what he wishes would happen. He is right that next year's election will have a large bearing on our foreign policy, but if the actual majority of citizens vote with any sort of sense, it won't be what he has in mind.

Bolton said the next president will have to cope with countries seeking to acquire weapons of mass destruction, countries that already have nuclear weapons and long-term policy challenges from the rise of China and India and the resurgence of Russia with oil at $90 a barrel.

"The way the American president deals with China I think will have a major impact on how China sees itself and continues to evolve," Bolton said.

He said that in continuing the war against terrorists and dealing with the threats of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, the U.S. currently faces many challenges.

"These are acute threats to the United States and our friends and allies around the world," Bolton said.

Talking about the debate over President Bush's policy in Iraq, he said, "we lose sight that the president's decision to overthrow Saddam Hussein has brought the United States to an enormous strategic victory."

He said that the invasion of Iraq brought an end to the dictatorship.

"This regime was a threat to the United States," said Bolton, who added that the U.S. surge policy in Iraq is working and the level of violence is down.

Talking about Iran's alleged pursuit of nuclear weapons, he said that unless the U.S. is prepared to accept an Iran with such capabilities, the time for diplomacy is over. He said one option is a regime change in Iran and the other is a last resort of targeted use of military force against Iran's nuclear program.

Glenn Beck Gets Fascist Neocon Horowitz on His Show to Lie About Ron Paul

Media shill Glenn Beck continued his attack on Ron Paul Monday (w/ video) as momentum builds, and this time he got David Horowitz on his show to help him out. Beck goes on to paint himself as a libertarian (funny) 'at heart,' and actually had the gall to call Ron Paul and his supporters domestic terrorists, which he advocates using the U.S. military in that hopeful endeavor of stopping us. With the increase of martial law apparatuses coming up in congress and defense preparations against an 'uprising' of level-headed citizens that simply want to take their country back from these criminals, he certainly knows that that is a possibility in the future.

The fact that he had David Horowitz on to help him out is just plain sick. They want to attack anyone that doesn't fold into submission when told these lies about 'islamo-fascists,' homegrown 'terrorists,' and aren't succumbed to what they see on mainstream television. They do that without caring to know why people are getting aware, and simply do what they can to downgrade and ridicule them as dangerous enemies. So who really are the 'domestic terrorists?' Is it the people like Beck and Horowitz that are working against our national interests by spreading lies to the media, or is it supporters of Ron Paul? The info war rages on.

Then comes a plummy Brit who I think is one of Bertie Wooster’s friends from the Drones Club. Then Beck gets to the real point: we are a right-wing peace movement. And being for peace means you want to kill people, whereas being for war means you want peace, if I may distill the agitprop.

Indeed, we are seeing Murray Rothbard’s dream come true; the Old Right, the pre-neocon, pre-Buckley right is back: for freedom and peace, sound money and keeping the fruits of your labor.

Next David Horowitz decries the “strain of isolationism and anarchism” in America, especially as represented by “libertarian websites like LewRockwell.com,” which are “totally in bed with the Islamofascists and have turned against this country.” By country, of course, he means the imperial presidency’s war-spying-torturing-taxing-planning apparatus.

Murdoch Sets Sights on Full-scale Internet Acquisition

Special interest media tycoon Rupert Murdoch has long since owned the television and newspaper outlets, but now he's ready to tackle the internet with disinformation as well. He is already going to now be allowed to own TV stations and newspapers in the same area, and he has completely turned MySpace into his own little marketing device that pertains to his agendas, and his endorsing of Hillary Clinton can already be seen all over that website. Murdoch now wants to master the new technologies of the internet, and use them in the same manner as he 'uses' other owned media outlets. There is too much truth and information getting out on the internet, so they must put a dent in it. Just in time for the Iran war, huh Mr. Murdoch?

The chairman of News Corporation has told a meeting in Adelaide that the company will have to work hard to educate advertisers on the virtues of the internet.

Rupert Murdoch has addressed a shareholders information meeting, speaking about the competing technologies News Corporation must deal with, which include the internet.

He says the company is making headway through its social networking site MySpace, which now has more than 200 million registered users.

"It's taken off and we have to do a big job in educating big advertisers that this is a wonderful platform for them to sell their goods on," he said.

"We already do business with the 80 of the top 100 marketing companies but we should be doing it in larger amounts."

U.S. Scholar Links Bush Admin Neocons to Imperial Japan

Pulitzer Prize winner Herbert Bix has come out and said that neocons of today, particularly the Bush administration, are very closely related to imperial Japan under the late emperor Hirohito. Bix is an expert on imperial Japan, and has actually said for years that the comparisons between post-9/11 U.S. government are plenty. He has stated that the Bush administration's invasion of Iraq was far worse than Pearl Harbor, and it "will live in infamy." It only makes sense that he would come out with more statements against this criminal government as they attempt to dupe Iran into a war for imperial supremacy in the Middle East.

"The current American rampage in Iraq and elsewhere, not to mention the Bush administration's threats of war against Iran, so clearly replicates Imperial Japan during the period when its leaders willfully disregarded international law and pursued the diplomacy of force," Bix said during a visit to Tokyo.

Japan defied the Nine-Party Treaty guaranteeing China's sovereignty, signed in 1922 in Washington, when imperial troops invaded Manchuria in 1931.

Bix compared Japan's action to current US efforts to scuttle the Treaty of Rome establishing the International Criminal Court, which President George W. Bush argues could unfairly target Americans.

He also said that senior US leaders -- not just rank-and-file soldiers -- should have been held to account for the killings of 24 civilians in the Iraqi town of Haditha.

"US war criminality is justice institutionalised, as Japan's once was," Bix said.

"In today's America, torture is not only standard battlefield practice in the so-called war on terror. Torture is celebrated in American popular culture as evidenced by the popularity of '24,' a TV programme in which the hero confronts a ticking bomb scenario... designed to justify torture."

But Bix, a professor at Binghamton University in New York state, said he remained optimistic for change as most Americans were opposed to "the Washington consensus."

Cheney Spouts More Hatred; What to Do About Him...

Dick Cheney was on NBC's 'Meet the Press' Sunday with Tim Russert, and as always it was a total neoconservative hate fest. Dick started off by spouting the usual lying rhetoric against Iran, and how we're "in the final stages of diplomacy." Not surprisingly he failed to mention how his administration had attempted any kind of diplomacy outside outrageous sanctions that make the problem worse. He didn't hold back from making racist comments in the interview either, nor did he shy away (braggingly) from drawing up pictures and images of a nuclear bomb dropping down on Iran. He ended by stating pretty much what we already know, that this administration wants this conflict badly, and wants it done before they leave office. Cheney's words are downright scary.

This bodes a very serious question though. This administration has shown it is planning to kill what's left of our country by demanding a conflict with Iran before they end their term. Hypothetically speaking, how are we as true Americans going to allow these blue-blooded criminals get away with this without just plain killing them? They have shown always that they listen to nothing other than fear and force. Our options are running thin, and the info war is quickly turning into something much bigger and serious with the passing of HR 1955. Gas prices will be on average around six dollars per gallon, anti-Americanism will be at a disaster-like high, a slave state of martial law will be right around the corner, and the U.S. Dollar will be on the verge of absolute collapse, sending us into a new depression era that makes the other one look quite minor. There might be a time very soon in which deadly force is necessary to save this country from the worst-case scenario, and we shouldn't be afraid of merely talking about it. Someone needs to look out for the best interests of our country, and very few in Washington seem to want to do that. The only way to save this country is with the people finally taking back what's theirs.

Full transcript can be seen here.

RUSSERT: How close are we to war with Iran?

CHENEY: Well, I think we are in the final stages of diplomacy, obviously. We have done virtually everything we can with respect to carrots, if you will. It’s time for squash. Not to mention mushrooms, clouds of them.

...

RUSSERT: Isn’t Secretary Rice still pushing carrots for Iran?

CHENEY: The more carrots Condi feeds ’em, the better they’ll be able to see the bombs coming.

RUSSERT: First you threatened to take action if Iran built a nuclear weapon. Now you’re threatening to take action if Iran knows how to build a nuclear weapon. What’s next? You threaten to take action if Ahmadinejad dresses up as a nuclear weapon for Halloween?

CHENEY: Well, the difficulty here is, each time he has rejected what he was called upon to do by the international community. I’m not sure now, no matter what he says, that anyone would believe him. He’s pretending he doesn’t have W.M.D., just like Saddam.

RUSSERT: But Saddam didn’t have W.M.D.

CHENEY: He did, Tim.

RUSSERT: He did?

CHENEY: Ever wonder what happened to them?

RUSSERT: What happened to them?

CHENEY: Think about it, Tim.

RUSSERT: The New York Times reported yesterday that the suspected nuclear reactor in Syria bombed by Israeli jets was well under construction in 2003, the same year we went to war with Syria’s neighbor Iraq. Did we go after the wrong country?

CHENEY: Syria is not a country, Tim. It’s a way station run by an eye doctor.

...

RUSSERT: Conservatives are tossing around some lock-and-load language. The president is talking about Iran sparking a “nuclear holocaust” and World War III. Giuliani adviser Norman Podhoretz thinks we’re in World War IV. Shouldn’t you at least give the new sanctions against Iran a chance to work?

CHENEY: Oh, we have, Tim. The sanctions were announced Thursday. It’s now Sunday. I think things have gotten so bad inside Iran, from the standpoint of the Iranian people, my belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.

RUSSERT: But what if your analysis is not correct — again? Let’s put up on the screen part of an interview The New York Times’s Thom Shanker did with the new chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen: “With America at war in two Muslim countries, he said, attacking a third Islamic nation in the region ‘has extraordinary challenges and risks associated with it.’ The military option, he said, should be a last resort.” Your own chairman of the Joint Chiefs does not think the military can handle a third war.

CHENEY: If Admiral Mullen wants to be Admiral Sullen, that’s his business. I’m not going to be a defeatist or question the courage of our fighting men.

RUSSERT: Critics say that if you attack Iran, there will be riots in every Muslim capital, the Iranians will flood Iraq with more explosives and money for the Shiite militias. They say you’ll only end up making more enemies for America, and our troops.

CHENEY: Why don’t we just give the Islamofascists Sudetenland, Tim? Peace in our time.

RUSSERT: The Europeans are upset that you might start another war in their backyard.

CHENEY: (Rolling his eyes and muttering under his breath) Eurappeasers.

RUSSERT: An Iranian spokesman dismissed the new U.S. sanctions as “worthless and ineffective” and said they were “doomed to fail as before.” And Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, the head of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards — a group you have accused of proliferating weapons of mass destruction — also warned that his forces would respond with an “even more decisive” strike if attacked.

CHENEY: Don’t worry about General Ali Baba, Tim. We gave the Israelis his home address.

RUSSERT: How will you even know where to bomb, given that all the experts say the Iranians have hidden their real nuclear facilities underground?

CHENEY: Can you say magic carpet bombing, Tim? We didn’t build those bunker busters just to stack ’em up in a warehouse in North Dakota.

RUSSERT: It’s so close to the next election, Mr. Vice President, shouldn’t you just keep on the diplomatic track and let the next president make this decision?

CHENEY: You really want Rudy Giuliani playing with the nuclear button, Tim? Now, that’s insane.

Faux News Panel on Sunday Offers Up More Neocon Rhetoric on Iran

Mainstream media puppet boy Brit Hume and insane neocon Zionist Bill Kristol were on Fox News late this morning spilling more filth about Iran, this time aiming for the anti-war [with Iran] Democrats that they say refuse to threaten Iran with brutal military action, calling them weak. They talked up the new sanctions on Iran, and claim the Bush administration doesn't have to disclose what the extra $80+ billion funds for bunker-busting bombs is for, stating "there might be others we want to bomb."

Doesn’t it make sense that you want Iran to believe that if you keep this up, they might be the subject of a devastating military strike of the kind that only the United States of America can mount. I would think so. And it seems to me when you have Democrats running around, wringing their hands about alleged saber rattling that it makes them look terribly weak, and in the end if you’re the head of Iran, you think, “well, we want those people in charge.”

Podhoretz Gets Pissed at Book Crowd

Apparently the dangerous textbook neocon quack Norman Podhoretz got a little enraged over a crowd at a Barnes and Noble book signing who offered up real questions against his anti-American rhetoric and disinformation. He was there to promote his new book that might as well be titled 'I Love Fascism, But Use It In My Propaganda.' Podhoretz is of course one of Giuliani's main foreign policy contributors, and does his best to garner conservative Jewish support.

Asked whether there should be a fresh investigation into 9/11, Podhoretz simply dismissed the suggestion as "paranoia" and refused to answer the question.

He later defended the fact that he signed the infamous Project For a New American Century documents, a Neo-Con manifesto for world domination that includes advocating the use of race-specific bio-weapons, and claimed that the PNAC had been "misrepresented".

Podhoretz then admitted that the CIA had overthrown the U.S.-friendly Iranian government of Mohammad Mossadegh in the 50's, but called it "ancient history."

He then went on to make a case that Iran was behind the violence in Iraq and had formed an alliance with Al-Qaeda, despite the fact that the two are Shia and Sunni respectively and as such are arch-enemies. He was then educated about how in fact it was the U.S. government that is funding Al-Qaeda affiliated groups to attack Iran. This mattered little to Podhoretz, who was then asked why we should "fight back" against Iran by bombing them when they had never attacked us?

Podhoretz's answer was to state that, "We were attacked by Islamofascists on 9/11," clearly implying that Iran attacked the U.S. on 9/11. Such unmitigated and bellicose propaganda might fly on Fox News, but many members of the audience were having none of it, asking why they should trust Bush and the Neo-Cons after being lied to for six years.

"Why don't you shut up," barked Podhoretz, seemingly having abandoned his ceaseless regurgitation of warmongering rhetoric and finally losing his temper.

Several members of the audience were kicked out of the store by cops but as Podhoretz left he was heckled again as protesters chanted "No Iran war," before ducking into a vehicle and scurrying away.
Even the more hellbent neocons like Podhoretz have to be getting the clear message now that their days of controlling the foreign policy in this country are coming to an abrupt and ugly end.

Horrific Reactionary Bill Introduced Against Columbia

Republican congressman (CA) and bogus neoconservative presidential candidate Duncan Hunter introduced a bill (HR 3675) into the House (Education and Labor Committee) last week that would actually prohibit any and all grants or contracts with Columbia University. This stems from the University allowing Iranian President Ahmadinejad to come speak last month, where he was treated like a man with horns. They revoked his invitation to speak only a year ago.

Hunter has attacked free speech many times in the past, and this is no different. The neocon thief is not proposing this because of Columbia's ROTC program, or any other garbage he brings up in the bill. That is just a smoke screen he has added in to make it somehow look more legitimate, and to garner a little support, which he won't get. Bush himself didn't even have a problem with Ahmadinejad speaking. Even he is not that stupid. Hunter is complete and utter scum of a politician who repeatedly attacks the First Amendment, and is only doing this because he doesn't like hearing opposing views. Either buy into his propaganda, or lose your free speech.

(1) Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called for the destruction of the State of Israel, a critical ally of the United States.

(2) In January 2007, commander of Multinational Corps-Iraq, Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno stated that the United States had traced back to Iran serial numbers of weapons captured in Iraq, including rocket-propelled grenades, roadside bombs and Katyusha rockets.

(7) Through their invitation, Columbia University provided a public, prestigious platform on United States soil from which on September 24, 2007, President Ahmadinejad spoke and defended his wide-ranging support for terrorist activities.
As you can see, the bill is filled with nothing but lies and scare tactics. Some brainwashed mainstream media sheep are buying into it, but no way this bill goes very far. Duncan Hunter is a domestic enemy, and needs to be booted out of office. In his eyes, controversial speech should only be allowed if it is not in conflict with Israeli views. The more they think that, the worse it does for their "cause." Taking away our sovereignty doesn't help.
