AMERICA'S LOVE AFFAIR WITH DARK SIDE / DRONE ATTACKS

Click on cartoon to enlarge

America is still exploring Dick Cheney's dark side path of fear through Drone attacks and that path has led to anger, hate and immense suffering as well as significant blowback. As a result, we have obviously not only lost track of who we are but also our moral bearings. Like a Black Hole in space, unless we begin to explore the path of light and our evolutionary innate need to love as well as social cooperation and altruism ~ we will eventually be consumed and destroyed by the dark side: Allen L Roland, Ph.D

“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” ~ Yoda

President Obama has killed more people with drones than died on 9/11. On January 06, 2015 as reported in "ICH"  Washington's Blog  ~ Law school teacher Marjorie Cohn, president of the National Lawyers Guild wrote  "Obama has killed more people with drones than died on 9/11. Many of those killed were civilians, and only a tiny percentage of the dead were al-Qaeda or Taliban leaders."

Guess what, She is correct .…

Excerpt:

"The Council on Foreign Relations estimates that U.S. drone strikes outside of Iraq and Afghanistan have killed 3,674 people. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism reports that up to 4,404 people have been killed ~ just in Pakistan and Yemen alone ~ between 2004 and 2014. While it’s hard to estimate how many additional people have been killed by drone in Iraq and Afghanistan, a December 2012 report by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism found that US and UK forces had carried out over 1,000 drone strikes in Afghanistan over the previous five years.  Given that numerous people are often killed by  each drone strike, it is reasonable to assume that several thousand people have been killed by drones in that country. And many Iraqis have also been killed by drones … long before ISIS even appeared on the scene.    So ~ altogether ~ the number of people killed by drones is probably well above five thousand…..In contrast,  under 3,000 people were killed on 9/11….  The West is intentionally targeting farmers, small-time drug dealers and very low-level Taliban members with drone assassination. And the process for deciding who to put on the “kill list” is flawed. People are often targeted by the metadata on their phones, a process which a former top NSA official called the drone assassination program “undisciplined slaughter.”

See article ~ http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article40635.htm#.VKyvUclNdn4.email

 

Make no mistake it ~ Obama's targeted Drone assassinations are a trip on Cheney's infamous dark side and we are still on that path with our current ongoing Drone attacks and obvious blowback. The White House let the CIA run wild, under Cheney's directions ~ but more importantly Obama and the Democrats are letting them get away with it.
Marcy Wheeler, ICH, spells it all out ~  This Was Dick Cheney's Coup:
Why America's Torture "Reform" Is A Total Sham

Excerpt: " Until you note that the summary language makes it clear the White House itself decided to keep the torture program hidden from Powell. Or you read the fine print that describes how White House counsel Alberto Gonzales first eliminated any mention of waterboarding from talking points that would be used to brief the president. Then someone (Cheney) ~ the report doesn’t say who ~ informed “‘Dr. Rice … that there would be no briefing of the President on this matter,’ but that [CIA Director George Tenet] had policy approval to employ the CIA’s enhanced interrogation techniques.”… After 9/11, CIA worked together with the White House to craft a programmatic “Finding” authorizing a range of counterterrorism policies that would give CIA significant flexibility in implementing those policies, while giving the White House enhanced deniability about their conduct …The White House used that “finding” not just to authorize torture, but also to authorize CIA’s drone-killing of top al-Qaida officials, a policy Obama expanded…But aren’t drone strikes targeted attacks on terrorists … unlike 9/11, which was an attack on civilians?  Unfortunately, no …The West is intentionally targeting farmers, small-time drug dealers and very low-level Taliban members with drone assassination. And the process for deciding who to put on the “kill list” is flawed.  People are often targeted by the metadata on their phones, a process which a former top NSA official called the drone assassination program “undisciplined slaughter.” And people are targeted for insanely loose reasons.  As the New York Times reported in 2012 See article ~ http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article40657.htm

"Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will.”  ~ Yoda

Mamana Bibi was a 67-year-old Pakistani grandmother and midwife, killed by a U.S. drone strike on October 24, 2012. One year ago, the family of Mamana Bibi came to Washington, D.C., to share their sad story with Members of Congress.  Only five Members of Congress came to hear this family's testimony. Only five listened to the real impact of one of America's most ruthless, extrajudicial, error-laden and enemy-producing war policies. The briefing was organized by both Rep. Alan Grayson, and Director Robert Greenwald. It was part of their effort to change discourse about drone warfare. It also led the release of a new drone documentary, Unmanned: America's Drone Wars. The film told these and other drone victims' stories, focused on the government's shadowy "signature strike" policy which allowed spy agencies to target and kill hundreds based on suspicion alone, and posed difficult questions that far too many lawmakers and national security officials still want to evade or duck.

America's Drones Are Still Killing Scores of Innocents ~ Three minute video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OvhAFyeGk4&feature=player_embedded

Drone warfare is thinly disguised mental and emotional torture ~ an act of intimidation and control meant to terrorize and subjugate its victims. It has slid us deeper into Dick Cheney's dark side of fear and we are losing our soul in the process ~ a risk many Americans are willing to take but not all Americans.

“When you look at the dark side, careful you must be. For the dark side looks back.” ~ Yoda

“A drone strike is a terror weapon, we don’t talk about it that way. It is; just imagine you are walking down the street and you don’t know whether in 5 minutes there is going to be an explosion across the street from some place up in the sky that you can’t see. Somebody will be killed, and whoever is around will be killed, maybe you’ll be injured if you’re there. That is a terror weapon. It terrorizes villages, regions, huge areas. It’s the most massive terror campaign going on by a long shot.”  ~  Noam Chomsky

DARTH VADER UNMASKED / DICK CHENEY

In the fictional Star Wars trilogy, Darth Vader was depicted as a ruthless cyborg who served the dark Galactic Empire whereas in real life Dick Cheney is a ruthless human cyborg, fueled by a transplanted heart, whose self-professed travels to the dark side served and greatly influenced a darkening and morally corrupt American Empire. It is Cheney who enthusiastically introduced torture as a means to obtain confessions to 9/11 in order to both avoid responsibility for his own actions regarding the planning and implementation of America's greatest act of treason ~ as well as seemingly justify our resultant illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq: Allen L Roland, Ph.D

 

"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark. The real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." - Plato

 

“I was a big supporter of waterboarding,” Cheney told ABC’s Jonathan Karl in 2010 in response to a question about battles won and lost within Bush administration’s second term. “I was a big supporter of the enhanced interrogation techniques that…” “And you opposed the administration’s actions of doing away with waterboarding?” Karl asked. “Yes,” Cheney replied.

 

Let's connect all the telltale dots regarding Dick Cheney's actions:

First some important background and rationale ~ Here’s the 11 minute YouTube must see documentary of the Cheney, Bush and the PNAC Criminal Conspiracy to invade Iraq which obviously was preceded by the PNAC announced need for a new Pearl Harbor ~ which lo and behold became 9/11 within a year and the now infamous and thoroughly discredited official 9/11 story. See Video ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=egqqCYSfV2k

Indeed, Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Ron Suskind reports that the White House (Cheney) ordered the CIA to forge and backdate a document falsely linking Iraq with Muslim terrorists and 9/11 … and that the CIA complied with those instructions and in fact created the forgery, which was then used to justify war against Iraq.

Next Timothy Egan wrote a revealing op-ed piece in the New York Times this week entitled The War Hero and the Chicken Hawk  where Egan shares that choices regarding responsibility that McCain and Cheney made when they were young shaped what they said this week about an awful breach in American values regarding torture:

Excerpt: " In and out of colleges, he (Cheney) dodged the war with five draft deferments; he said he “had other priorities in the ’60s than military service.” Early on, he learned how easy it was to evade responsibility…. Cheney has long backed torture, blithely supporting techniques that were called war crimes when used by Imperial Japan or Nazi Germany, and outlawed in treaties signed by most civilized nations. His central claim ~ not supported by a phone-book-thick body of evidence ~ is that torturing terrorists produced “phenomenal results,” including “the intelligence that allowed us to get Osama bin Laden.” Without having read the Senate Intelligence Committee report, he was quick to say on Monday that the barbarism committed in our name was “absolutely, totally justified.” And of course, he would do it all again, without hesitation….. By Wednesday, he was the petulant child caught and cornered. Confronted with evidence that 26 detainees were wrongfully held, with examples of “rectal feeding” (rape by another definition), or induced hypothermia that most likely killed one suspect, he proclaimed the exhaustive inquiry “full of crap” and he still had not read the report. See Egan article ~ http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/12/opinion/the-war-hero-and-the-chicken-hawk.html?emc=eta1

 

And now the obvious rationale for Cheney's denial ~ It became imperative after 9/11 that Cheney cover up his incriminating fingerprints regarding that treasonous act (inspired by PNAC's need for a new Pearl Harbor) and rapidly find a scapegoat or so called mastermind, isolate them or ship them off to Guantanamo, torture and force them to falsely confess and quickly establish a 9/11 link with Iraq.

Here are excerpts from PBS documentary "The Dark Side" about Dick Cheney consciously lying about Iraq and its connection with 9-11 / You tube 2007 Video / 3 minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDnu8WOcZBM

Why would Cheney consciously lie unless he was covering up the greater and more perilous big lie of 9/11?

Perhaps only satire can fully reveal the true extent of the Big Lie and how literally half of Washington, DC has been silenced or blackmailed by AIPAC into remaining silent over the fact that 9/11 was an inside job. The only way to stop the current military escalation follies throughout the Middle East is to finally fully reveal the 9/11 Lie they were all initially born from ~ a fact that Cheney is firmly committed to avoid at all costs including justifying inhumane torture in order to, once again, avoid responsibility.

MEMO TO THE PRESIDENT / DICK CHENEY / We're watching you, Barack.

http://www.veteranstoday.com/2014/09/05/were-watching-you-barack-911-memo-to-the-president

 

Excerpt: " Actually, Paul Krugman got it half right in 2009 when he wrote ~ ”Let’s say this slowly: the Bush administration wanted to use 9/11 as a pretext to invade Iraq, even though Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. So it tortured people to make them confess to the nonexistent link. There’s a word for this: it’s evil.”  See his column ~
The secret deeper intent, that Krugman missed or more likely ignored, was that we demonized and attacked Iraq to distract the American public and cover our tracks regarding our high level involvement in 9/11 ~ that’s why George W can’t sleep at night and why I still keep talking tough and waving the flag ~ Take my warning seriously, Barack ~ too much is at stake here and we are not only watching you but we are ready to take any action necessary to maintain this charade.
Patriotism is our last refuge as it is for all scoundrels ~ so wave the flag on 9/11 and praise our human sacrifice on that day and also pray that no one looks to deeply into that black hole of American history ~ for if they do, they will eventually connect all the dots and you and I and many others will become a sordid reminder of evil and what went wrong for America at the turn of this century."

As Andrew Sullivan comments in The Dish ~ "I want to move past this as much as CIA Chief John Brennan does. But you cannot move past it without reckoning with it, without facing up to the facts, and bringing accountability to government. Obama and Brennan refuse to do it. And by refusing to come to terms with the facts, they have left this as some kind of open debate, when it is, in fact, closed. And that opening is all we need to see torture return."

In summary, Dick Cheney is like a deadly and now dormant vampire who lives in the darkness and can only be truly eliminated by a wooden stake or the light of truth driven into his treasonous dark heart of denial ~ whereas the truth of 9/11 will finally be revealed as well as Cheney’s role in America’s greatest act of treason.

William Boardman, RSN, mirrors my own feelings when he wrote today ~ "We know who the torturer-in-chief was, and we know his vice-torturer has said George Bush was as fully informed as he, Dick Cheney, was. Along with everything else we know about these men who still defend their criminality, why isn’t that enough for probable cause and a criminal indictment?"

Let the prosecutions begin and let them start from the top down ~ there is no change without action and Americans want and can actually handle it.

WE'RE WATCHING YOU, BARACK / 9/11 MEMO TO THE PRESIDENT

As we approach the 13th Anniversary of America's greatest act of treason, perhaps only satire can fully reveal the true extent of the Big Lie and how literally half of Washington, DC has been silenced or blackmailed by AIPAC into remaining silent over the fact that 9/11 was an inside job. The only way to stop the current military escalation follies throughout the Middle East is to finally fully reveal the 9/11 Lie they were all initially born from: Allen L Roland, Ph.D

"All that is left of America is banality and self-delusion."   Noam Chomsky 

_________________________________ 

Memo to the President / Confidential / Top Secret / Destroy after reading

From Dick Cheney / Citizen at large

 Dear Mr. president, 

 As we approach the 13th Anniversary of 9/11 ~ it becomes increasingly important that I remind you of your promise to us, before you were sworn in to the presidency, to not allow any investigations or revelations to come to the surface regarding 9/11 ~ at the risk of breaking our trust and our continued support of the ongoing 9/11 cover-up.

 We're watching you closely, Barack and I'm becoming increasingly uneasy by recent revelations which may indicate that your support and pledge regarding this massive cover-up may be wavering ~ particularly since your presidency will soon be coming to an end and the continued human rights pressure to close Guantanamo.

As George and I told you (obviously behind closed doors and inquisitive ears) we're all in this together and one unreliable high level official link brings this whole criminal endeavor crashing down on all of us, including yourself, and eventually will lead to public humiliation, trial and jail.

Once again, the American public will never forgive all of us who were involved in this false flag operation but particularly those in authority who knew of this national betrayal and never exposed this treasonous act ~ and now that also means you, Barack.

Of course, I have taken great pains to cover my tracks on this endeavor either by rendition, torture or indefinite imprisonment at Guantanamo ~ but my tracks are not indelible which is the reason for this confidential note and reminder. Of course, my firm Halliburton, made $30.5 billion as a result of no-bid contracts, gross overcharging and worker exploitation during the invasion of Iraq but that's the way the game was played in Iraq (chuckle)

However, It has recently come to my attention that organizations like Veterans Today have stumbled across my fingerprints on our secret plan to steal American Nukes ~ specifically W-54's ~ which of course were eventually used in the 9/11 false flag operation. This is hitting very close to home and must be sidetracked immediately or we're in deep doo-doo !

Here's the VT report that also also mentions my name which concerns me greatly  ~

VT: "Our IAEA sources reports: The W-54 warhead has a large, high quality oblong plutonium pit.  400 of these weapons were made for use in nuclear artillery and other weapons with design variations allowing vastly different output from the same basic design. The W-54's were placed in military cold storage after 1986 and they were retired in 1993 by Bush 41. They were then written off the books during the Clinton era 1994-2000 and allegedly disposed of by converting them into MOX (multiple oxide as used in Fukushima) fuel at the Savanna River complex. The Savanna River recycling plant had and still has serious security and safety concerns for decades.

‘Someone’ or ‘some people’ at a very high level simply did a paper work switch and shipped the non-destroyed pits out the back door. The thefts started under Clinton and ended under Bush2. Cheney controlling it under Bush 1 and 2. Richardson ( a "rabid  Zionist") at DOE under Clinton." See report ~ http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/08/27/376708/iaea-us-not-iran-the-problem/

 

How did VT get access to that secret report and it doesn't take a genius to figure out that the only high level person capable of making that paper switch decision was me which makes me even more nervous ~ which I don't need now with my brand new heart.

Get on this, Barack ~ before it gets completely out of hand !

When I say we're watching you ~ that is not a passive statement  for no one is indispensable in this cover up (as you already know) and we will move deadly fast, as we have before, if we feel our trust has been betrayed.

Our whole Way of Life (as Tony Blair is so fond of saying) is at risk and you don't want to be the person responsible for bringing down that house of cards or should I say Potemkin Village (chuckle).

Remember, Barack ~ as I have publicly said many times, you have to give up your liberties to keep your freedom and you should be maintaining that mantra with the American public before they wise up and bring us all down ~ note I said us, Barack ~ we are all in this together ~ you can't pin it all eventually on my administration, Oops, I mean George W's ~ who still doesn't realize that he was a pawn in our PNAC grand world scheme. (He still won't return my calls and is now evidently writing poetry along with his crude water colors, God awful but I digress)

One other thing, Barack ~ it appears the public is closing in on the far more specific 9/11 investigative report, the one issued by the intelligence committees of both houses of Congress, entitled "Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001." Those infamous blacked out 28 pages were assumed to relate to our well known Saudi connections but some pesky reporters like Justin Raimondo made the correct assumption that those missing pages verified Israeli complicity in 9/11~ which of course would eventually lead to my role in that operation.

And that loose cannon Bibi almost let the cat out of the bag while speaking to a conference at Bar Ilan University in 2008, which was very direct as to Israeli involvement. As reported by Israeli news outlets Ha’aretz and Ma’ariv: “’We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq,’ He reportedly added that these events ‘swung American public opinion in our favor.’”   See report ~ http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article39536.htm#.VAHtR5yEg4Y.email

 

I repeat, Barack, the release of those 28 pages cannot be allowed to happen ~ so far we have kept a lid on this through AIPAC pressure but with the upcoming 13th 9/11 anniversary looming within a week, you must consider this an emergency!

If the public fully knew of our connection with the Zionists regarding the planning, execution and cover-up of 9/11, my goose would be cooked but so would yours, my friend. ( Yes, my friend, since both of us know and are aware of things that could destroy the presidency ~ we are reluctantly joined in our common effort to maintain the status quo at all costs ) George W also knows this and it has driven him into seclusion ~ if not senility. (chuckle)

 

Bush hugging President Obama in gratefulness at 2008 inauguration ( Please protect me,  Barack )

Actually, Krugman got it half right in 2009 when he wrote ~ " Let’s say this slowly: the Bush administration wanted to use 9/11 as a pretext to invade Iraq, even though Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. So it tortured people to make them confess to the nonexistent link. There’s a word for this: it’s evil."  See his column ~ http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/22/grand-unified-scandal/#comment-171725

The secret deeper intent, that Krugman missed or more likely ignored, was that we demonized and attacked Iraq to distract the American public and cover our tracks regarding our high level involvement in 9/11 ~ that's why George W can't sleep at night and why I still keep talking tough and waving the flag ~ Take my warning seriously, Barack ~ too much is at stake here and we are not only watching you but we are ready to take any action necessary to maintain this charade.

Lastly, a good offense is the best defense for our 9/11 skullduggery, keep talking about bombing Syria, War with ISIS and demonizing Russia ( even though that's all another lie ) ~ in other words keep pressing the FEAR button ~ it worked with 9/11 and that's why Guantanamo is still open for business but closed for human rights inspection. As I said on Fox in 2009 ~ The important thing to understand here is that the people that are at Guantanamo are bad people. I mean, these are terrorists for the most part ~ even though we have never proved it ~ ( chuckle and sneer ).

The American public can be controlled by fear and the last thing it needs to hear is the TRUTH about 9/11. As long as there's the general perception that the real 9/11 conspirators are in Guantanamo we're home free ~ but if those 28 pages are released to the public our unholy alliance with the Zionists regarding 9/11 will open up Pandora's Box and our ass is grass ~ Do I make myself clear ?

 Patriotism is our last refuge as it is for all scoundrels ~ so wave the flag on 9/11 and praise our human sacrifice on that day and also pray that no one looks to deeply into that black hole of American history ~ for if they do, they will eventually connect all the dots and you and I and many others will become a sordid reminder of evil and what went wrong for America at the turn of this century.

Shred this immediately after reading.

 

Angler ( my CIA code name which still seems somewhat appropriate )

THE EMPIRE IS CRUMBLING / BRING IN THE CLOWNS

The last refuge of a scoundrel is patriotism and this Independence Day 2014 as we celebrate our independence with parades, picnics and fireworks ~ let us not forget the clowns and scoundrels who cloak themselves in patriotism and represent the worst of America. There is no more despised clown or scoundrel who still represents the worst of American values, yet continues to cloak himself in patriotism, than Darth Vader himself, Dick Cheney ~ the behind the scenes architect of the 9/11 attacks and cover up, the promoter of the illegal war with Iraq for Oil resources, the instigator of illegal rendition, Guantanamo as well as the torture memos and whose self-described travels on the dark side have left America's crumbling Empire morally barren and spiritually lost: Allen L Roland

Dick Cheney is like a deadly and now dormant vampire who lives in the darkness and can only be truly eliminated by a wooden stake of truth driven into his treasonous heart of denial whereas the truth of 9/11 will finally be revealed as well as Cheney's role in America's greatest act of treason ~ a 9/11 cover up which is still being protected and ignored by the Obama administration.

First, the crumbling Empire. Only Chris Hedges truly captures the true ghoulish face of a fading American Empire as seen in the current disintegration of Iraq ~ "The disintegration of Iraq is irreversible. At best, the Kurds, the Shiites and the Sunnis will carve out antagonistic enclaves. At worst, there will be a protracted civil war. This is what we have bequeathed to Iraq. The spread of our military through the region has inflamed jihadists across the Arab world. The resulting conflicts will continue until we end our occupation of the Middle East. The callous slaughter we deliver is no different from the callous slaughter we receive. Our jihadists ~ George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, Thomas Friedman and Tommy Franks ~ who assured us that swift and overwhelming force in Iraq would transform the Middle East into an American outpost of progress, are no less demented than the jihadists approaching Baghdad. These two groups of killers mirror each other. This is what we have spawned. And this is what we deserve"  See article ~ http://www.truthdig.com/report/page2/the_ghoulish_face_of_empire_20140623

Next, the barely living symbol and still performing clown of this crumbling Circus or Empire ~ Dick Cheney.

Cheney at Obama's 2009 inauguration

Suggested Caption: Obama's on board with the cover-up, now it's time to write my memoirs.

Dick Cheney's recent words of projection speak for themselves ~ " Rarely has a U.S. President been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many. Too many times to count, Mr. Obama has told us he is 'ending' the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan ~ as though wishing is made it so." June 17,2014 op-ed with his daughter Liz in the Wall Street Journal.

Now let's review Dick Cheney's fabrications and wishful thinking during the concerted Cheney led effort to sell our illegal war and occupation of Iraq from 2003 to 2005.

"Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction." August 22, 2002

"We believe he has reconstituted nuclear weapons"  March 16, 2003

"My belief is, we  will, in fact be greeted as liberators" March 16, 2003

"In Iraq, a ruthless dictator cultivated weapons of mass destruction and the means to deliver them. He gave support to terrorists, has an established relationship with al Qaeda, and his regime is no more."  Nov 7, 2003

" What we did in Iraq was exactly the right thing to do. If I had it to recommend all over again, I would recommend exactly the same course of action."  Oct 5, 2004

" I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency" June 20, 2005

Thom Hartmann briefly describes the true cost of the Iraq war ~ "The Iraq War was the single biggest foreign policy disaster in recent - or maybe even all - of American history. It cost the country around $4 trillion dollars, killed hundreds of thousands, if not millions of innocent civilians, left 4,500 Americans dead, and turned what was once one of the more developed countries in the Arab World into a slaughterhouse."

The obvious question is why would Dick Cheney obviously lie and deceive both the public and everyone around himself in both the run up to and aftermath of our illegal occupation of Iraq?

The equally obvious answer is Dick Cheney sees himself as a patriot and was and is still committed to defending the lie of Iraq because if he didn't ~ he would have to defend his and the Bush/Cheney administration's role in the orchestration of the needed Pearl Harbor event or the Bigger lie of 9/11 which led to the attack of Iraq. Cheney's best defense has always been his belief in a strong offense which explains his current blatant denial of the facts regarding Iraq.

And here's the 11 minute YouTube must see documentary of the Cheney, Bush and the PNAC Criminal Conspiracy to invade Iraq which obviously was preceded by the PNAC announced need for a new Pearl Harbor ~ which lo and behold became 9/11 within a year and the now infamous and thoroughly discredited official 9/11 story. See video ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egqqCYSfV2k

And finally, in the spirit of this Independence Day ~ here's the world's shortest fireworks display when over 7000 fireworks went off at the same time because of a computer glitch  http://digg.com/video/happy-4th-america-heres-7-000-fireworks-going-off-at-the-same-time?

Mark Twain correctly wrote ~ Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it ~ and our government most certainly does not deserve to be supported when it comes to using a highly suspicious 9/11 attack as a justification for the illegal war and occupation of Iraq.

Dissent is the highest form of patriotism ….and today we sorely need it.
