Hawkins In yesterday’s elections America finally decided to go quietly into the night as the importance of the most recent Constitutional Amendment was validated by popular vote. Prior to the passing of this Amendment any person who wasn’t born a US citizen was unable to hold the office of President of the United States. For those of you who don’t remember, the Constitutional Amendment in question was voted into the Constitution in the spirit of bipartisanship two years ago in 2006 as a huge movement was brought to life on the heels of the last Bush win. The Americans could see no hope for the future of the country unless they had a popular Republican running for office. A groundswell of support was given life by those who wanted that popular Republican to be Arnold Schwarzenegger, Governor of California. The conservatives who supported him were certain they were correct when they discovered many of John Forbes Kerry’s supporters and 527’s from the ’04 election helping them in their effort. In last night’s elections they finally understood why those people were supporting their efforts. George Soros is the new President Elect of the United States of America. Many of Europe’s leaders are issuing public apologies for having called Americans ‘unsophisticated and stupid’. In the words of Igor Hamholdor, “Today America has joined hands with the rest of Europe. We know we can finally get them to drop all of that silly religion and become the sexual dynamos they are capable of being. They will learn the joys of self-gratification and immediate rewards.” Andy Perkins of Kentucky said, “As the sun passes from the East to the West bringing light into the darkness, so darkness apparently travels from West to the East. The stupidity that happens in California is almost always prophetic for the rest of this once great Nation.” Mr. ‘C. L.’ in Missouri had a slightly different take on the matter however. “At least it isn’t Bush. I knew I was in favor of this movement because there were enough people to at least push it through and make things happen. Besides these people used some of the words I have read in the Bible. ‘If they are not against us they are with us.’ Jesus said that in reference to man casting out demons. That means these people are Christians.” When he was asked if he was upset that Soros got into office he said, “At least it isn’t Bush.” He was then asked if he was aware that Bush was unable to be elected to a third term. He said, “At least it isn’t Bush.” At the moment the party is still going in the enlightened parts of America. The citizens of San Francisco danced naked in the streets under banners festooned with pink lambdas and rainbows. Many of the revelers are carrying posters with words by the great Western poet Sophos from the island of Lesvos. “He is more than a hero he is a god in my eyes- the man who is allowed to sit beside you….” Nancy Leftenhander said, “For the first time in the history of this great nation everyone has a chance to force everyone to accept everyone else. We will enforce the Constitution through anti-fascism. Gaia bless us one and all.” Across the street the mood is a little different. They are carrying placards with the words of William Butler Yeats from the poem ‘The Second Coming’. “Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, the blood dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere the ceremony of innocence is drowned; the best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.” Soros is already preparing his first set of Executive Orders to be signed into law on inauguration day. One of the primary Executive Orders, which has been the benchmark of the San Francisco group, is the unisex law on abortions. In the words of the, I guess it was a woman who I interviewed, “This executive order will give men access to the right to abortion on demand just like women. From each, according to his ability: to each, according to his needs. At last equal will really mean equal.” Also Soros is expected to announce his internationally approved disarmament plan for America. The leaders of Russia, China, North Korea and Iran have voiced their approval, bringing cheers in the streets of San Francisco. Elsewhere in the nation the response has been somewhat mute. The point of this ‘future-drama’ is rather simple: Just because you like Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn’t mean the next Arnold you get isn’t going to be a Benedict Arnold. Do not mess with the Constitution based solely on popularity; it makes you look stupid, except in the eyes of the French. If you really want to mess with the Constitution why don’t you try reinstating it! R.A. Hawkins Web Site Contact Back to Top |

A few hundred years ago, several groups of people who desired something better for themselves and their families packed their meager belongings and looked for a land of freedom. They no longer felt an allegiance to their government or their established laws. These people longed for freedom and they looked to a new land where the shackles of oppression could be broken and they could choose where they wanted to worship, work, live and raise their families. These pioneers, who were the spirit of freedom, didn't want the elitist kings, rulers and intelligentsia to dictate to them any longer. With a combination of anticipation, fear and desire, this group of "common people" would become the forerunners known as the freedom fighters, seekers and establishers of our Republic. Prior to America's Election Day, many of us were worried about the direction of our country. With the mainstream media constantly filling our minds with images of socialistic values, many of us felt that America had aligned herself with Europe, the U.N., Hollywood and bin Laden. The desire to remain independent and to remain free though rallied the common everyday American to go to the voting booths and make a statement against all those who think that life can be bought, sold and dumped into a trash can. We have hope, we have values, we have faith, but most of all we have the drive to keep the elitist snobs where they belong—in their glass palaces of "I am better than you." Trouble is, those who live in glass houses many times have their transparent walls crack and smash into thousands of shards when a revolution begins . On Election Day, Americans stated, enough is enough. Americans believe in values, and the message was sent loud and clear to all the socialistic euro-trash who were trying to steal America's independence and sell it to the highest socialist bidder. America and her love of freedom isn't for sale. She has been bought through blood and death. She is priceless. Will the New York Times, Dan Rather, Ted Kennedy, Charlie Wrangle, Katie Couric, Ted Koppel, Bruce Springsteen, John F. Kerry, Al Franken, Hillary Clinton and the other socialist intelligentsia get it now? Will the elitist Euro wannabees who desire for us to join the "global test" and be under Kofi Anan now see that we will fight for our rights to keep our country? America loves her way of doing things. We love the freedom to choose our health care, our employment, our neighborhoods, our economic status, our religion, our education and the American way of life. So what if we don't look like the French? Who cares if we can't pick the best grapes for our wines? We love who we are—every day people who love our hamburgers, an icy cold Coke, Monday Night Football and the ability to call upon our Creator. The old ways of the far left have finally had their last nail driven into their old moldy coffin known as socialism. The media that has supported their evil darkness have been exposed for what they are—malicious liars. The Hollywood elite are melting as the clarity of purity has been doused upon them (help them—their botox is melting). Our "Shining City on a Hill" has shown her light of truth upon all of those who wanted to end America's way of life. They can no longer hide in the shadows of our daily printed papers, behind their liberal microphones, or wrapped into their flag of dissent. Freedom calls louder and more passionately than anything the socialist elites can ever muster. You say you want a revolution? We just had our second awakening as Americans. We left oppression back in Europe many years ago for a reason. The majority of Americans just told all the elitist snobs to shut up and go back to their caves of socialistic oppression. We love America as she is—with all her bumps, bruises, and imperfections. Her freedom is a beautiful thing. If those of you who belong to the socialist elite club desire to repent and turn back to being and loving what America really is, we will welcome you with open arms and forgiving hearts—forgiveness is a part of freedom and a part of what being an American is. The love of freedom is what all mankind desires everywhere. Kerry L. Marsala Web Site Contact Back to Top |

John
Kerry says “there are no losers” “in an American election.”
There’s a part of me that finds this ironic, given that it was
said during his
concession speech, and given that concession, by definition, means
admitting defeat. But then there’s another part of me that realizes
irony, by definition, means something unexpected—which would disqualify
what Kerry said, since it’s what we’d expect from
political rhetoric. So I don’t know what to make of it anymore.
I suppose it brings us full circle. Everything was on the line in this
election. Or nothing was. It depends on who you talk to.
But either way, now that it’s over, I’d like to believe this year’s election was a learning experience, because I, for one, took several lessons away from it. For example, I learned that kids are a thousand times smarter than anyone gives them credit for, as evidenced by the fact that P. Diddy’s “Vote or Die” failed to make a difference at the polls. It turns out Urban Outfitters was right: “Voting is for Old People." Kids will take an interest in politics when they’re good and gosh darn ready. Until then, they will play XBox. Another thing I learned is that the letter “F”—as in “John F’n Kerry”—is an awesome middle initial. This election would’ve been so boring if Kerry’s middle name were Adam instead of Forbes. Finally, but perhaps most important of all, I learned that Red States and Blue States are here to stay. So, too, is the “culture war.” And so, too, are the “two Americas” (not counting South America, which isn’t a real America anyway). All you need to do to confirm this is to look at an electoral map. The battle lines are clearly drawn, and the parties colored inside them with a single wide brush. For instance, the west coast and northeast went Blue on behalf of the Democrats this year. According to conventional wisdom, this means the people in those regions are liberals; they all want fewer wars, free stuff, teamwork, and trees. Likewise, Republican Red conquered the rest of the continent, meaning everyone from Florida all the way to North Dakota wants old fashioned weddings and the right to shoot birds. You know, because they’re conservative. Now, personally, I’m of the opinion that not every state fits neatly into one of two categories. Vermont, for example, is a little more liberal than, say, anywhere else. So in fairness, it’s probably more of an Olive State than a Blue one. Then you have swing states like Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, all three of which were said to be “in play” this year. By presidential election logic, the first two are Red States and the latter’s a Blue State because they voted for George Bush and John Kerry, respectively. But if things were that close before the election, shouldn’t all three of them technically be Purple? Or at least Magenta? If you ask me, two colors are too few. But still, there’s something to be said for the fact that Red States and Blue States carry such weight in popular discourse. Perception is reality. And in America, right now, there are clearly several dueling realities. So the question is, how long—after a “hotly contested election”—can they coexist? Perhaps the answer is: Not long at all. Some liberals are apparently so pissed off about Bush’s victory that they’re thinking of moving. Indeed, visits to Canada’s immigration website are up since the election. But while it’s true the ball is in their court, they can’t just take their ball and go home when the home they’re going to isn’t their own. Canadian immigration has already said Democrats will have to wait in line like everyone else. So if they want to get into Canada, they may have to take it by force. Maybe Howard Dean can lead the way? “We’re going to Saskatchewan! And Ottawa! And Nova Scotia! And Alberta! And after that we’re going to Toronto to take back the CN Tower… eh!!!!” Another option is secession. “The history of the last four years shows that red state types, above all, do not want to be told what to do—they prefer to be ignorant,” says Slate’s Jane Smiley. Talk about ignorance. I’d ask who died and made her God, but a belief in God is the basis of ignorance, in her opinion—so forget it, I already know the answer. But still, she might be onto something. After all, plenty of Red Staters would say precisely the same things about “ignorant” Blue State liberals. You take a guy like Jerry Falwell (who blamed 9/11 on gays), and you take a lady like Smiley (who no doubt blamed 9/11 on guys like Jerry Falwell)—they’re never going to see eye to eye. So why are they so much as trying to share a president? Think about it. They really don’t have to. In a post-election editorial titled, “Blue State Secession: The Only Solution?,” Zoltan Grossman writes—albeit jokingly—on Counterpunch.org that perhaps the Blue States should join Mexico and Canada, in a radical shift of North American borders. (No word yet on how realignment would affect playoff football). Meanwhile, rock-musician-type-person Moby writes on his website that Canada would stand to gain “interesting cities,” “surfing,” and “good karma,” if they annexed the Blue States. Now, obviously, these suggestions were made in jest—somewhat. But they kind of, sort of make sense, if you think about it. I mean, if people out in California, Oregon, and Washington State think Washington, D.C., is too far removed to be relevant to them, why not let them break free? It doesn’t need to be a violent secession. In fact, it probably wouldn’t be. Blue Staters make love, not war—remember? So we’ll just kiss and hug and say our goodbyes. We’ll trade with them, maybe visit sometimes—what more do you need? It’ll be fun. And why stop at regional secession? Why not local secession, too? In the northeast alone we already have the New Hampshire-based Free State Project (which isn’t officially secessionist), and a group called the Second Vermont Republic (which is), as well as a movement in Killington, Vermont, to leave Vermont and join New Hampshire (despite being miles from the border). Just imagine what life would be like if states could secede from unions, towns from states, families from towns, and people from families. It would be a true system of checks and balances. Issues like guns and gay marriage would be settled locally, because no one would accept anyone else coming in and making decisions for them (D.C., I’m looking at you.) We would all be winners in that sort of system. Or we would all be losers. I guess it depends on your perspective. But the point is, ideally, a lot less would ride on presidential elections. We could finally put this Red State/Blue State stuff to bed. And if nothing else, it would shut P. Diddy up. Look, I’m not a secessionist. I’m too lazy for anything that requires actual effort. But it wouldn’t hurt to at least keep the threat of secession on the table at all times—no matter where you live, or who you vote for. After all, secession is as American as baseball, mom, apple pie, and Cheers. Our forefathers certainly thought so—they seceded from England. And just think: If not for their courage, we’d all be speaking English right now. Jonathan David Morris Web Site Contact Back to Top |

Did you hear that Donald Rumsfeld and Richard Perle attended the last Bilderberg meeting near Versailles? Even if you are a skeptic of the dominance of these elites, one can hardly dismiss their influence. So when there is a rare dispute among their ranks, it would be news. However, reports in the mainstream press about the latest plans of this shrouded collaboration is the only secret that is kept in the rush to scoop the continuous news cycle. So what is all the fuss about? Europe's elite were opposed to an American invasion of Iraq since the 2002 Bilderberg meeting in Chantilly, Virginia. Rumsfeld himself had promised them it wouldn't happen. Last week, everybody struck back at Rumsfeld, asking about the infamous "weapons of mass destruction". Most of Europe's elite do not believe American promises that Iraq's oil will "benefit the Iraqi people." They know that revenues from Iraqi oil will be used to rebuild what America has bombed. And the debate is still raging on what kind of contracts which rewarded Bechtel and Halliburton will "benefit" Western Europe.” As illustrated in The Petro-Dollar and the EURO essay, the precarious stability of the U.S. Dollar as the currency for oil settlement, has most profound effects. Stan Goff in a perceptive analysis—THE INFINITE WAR AND ITS ROOTS —makes the following point: “Should forces hostile to U.S. imperialism (for whatever reason) gain control over the Gulf States and its oil, they would effectively control the lifeblood of the entire global economic system. U.S. hegemony would collapse in an historical instant. Compared to this scenario, Sept. 11 was a walk in the park. And the U.S. ruling class, especially the current petroligarchy administration, knows this.” The distinct deduction from a plunging dollar denominated world dominant economy is a state of continuous war. While the Iraqi colonization is the first stage of a Rumsfeld/Perle strategy, the European elements of the Bilderberg brotherhood see their interests in very different terms. So much so, that some support proposals for an independent European Union military force. "It was also extremely hard at the Versailles meeting to forge a consensus on the necessity of a European Union army totally independent of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The US establishment, of course, is against the EU army. But so are some Europeans, starting with anti-army cheerleader Lord Robertson, NATO's secretary general. Europe's elite can't stand US domination of NATO any more. Some Europeans suggest a separate force, but controlled by NATO. Americans argue that a separate EU force would dissolve NATO's role as the UN's world army. And Americans insist that NATO is no longer confined to the defense of Europe: its troops now could go anywhere in the world, directed or not by the UN Security Council. The impasse remains." This internal conflict is one of the few examples of friction among the clandestine masters of the universe. The source of this strife, largely stems from those elements who maintain an allegiance to a kosher tribal cause and seek to advance their parochial interest, whenever possibile. Again, Mr Goff nails it: “It is no wonder the capitalists of other regions are raising their eyebrows at the Bush Administration. They surely sense the potential consequences of this administration's wild hubris, its military adventurism, its arrogant abrogation of international treaties, its refusal to submit to international law, and its continued support for the Israeli occupation. Some of these capitalists understand that what is taking shape is the military occupation of the world's major oil fields, in the face of fierce resistance from the masses in those states, and they further understand that this is the best way to ensure permanent loss of access to this critical commodity for good.” When opposing agendas threaten the entire ruling order, even a rogue—dominated by NeoCon subversives—American administration, will be made to pay a price. Make no mistake about it, the Bush junta is an integral part of the shadow global cabal. The apparant discord may be a temporary blip for a “Temporary” skull and bones flunky. Any inference that George W might be an American hero for bucking the New World Order would be ludicrous. Internal squabbles have a tendency to be short. However, when a beleaguered emperor has a ring in his nose, and is guided by sinister renegades, the king may fall. Bush, the cowboy Texan, would do well to heed the lesson of Dallas! Judas clones sit at your table . . . allowing them to made policy is MAD, and will assure our mutal destruction. Bilderberg’s are watching, you have been warned.
