Excerpt of Review

Imitation of Life (1959) ___ 8/10
Eclectic and challenging movie for 1959 _ 8/10

Well, we've come a long way. Sort of. Perhaps we've tilted as a culture too far toward the other pole of vulgarity and copious sex without love, mind, or even sensuality. Candidly, I enjoy the 1950s sex-denial culture vs. our current one; it's more interesting. All the pretenses and talking around sex, the double-entendres, the oblique references to what people really want, the elaborate costumes and preening, the whole complex structure of falling in love, sexual-relationship foreplay, role playing, misogynism, faux male dominance behavior, women's ploys to 'get their man.' But what really appeals to me is the occasional genuine belief from both parties that they're actually going to find true love under society's pile of horse manure. [Full Review]

Obamacare Court Case
Virginia's case against nationalized health care
Jim Babka, Downsize DC

If the Virginia case is not heard, AND if the mandate is ultimately upheld by the Supreme Court, must these states comply? Must YOUR state comply? The spineless politicians (allegedly) governing these states are likely to defer. However... Our brief argues that states retain the right to nullify, if all other remedies have been shut down—if the Commonwealth is given no outlet and no voice for their concerns. We hope the High Court will recognize this, and agree to include the Virginia case. In fact... The brief DC Downsizers helped fund makes this more likely. Thanks to DC Downsizers, we took a lead role in funding and filing this brief, and we also secured the inclusion of the following statement: [Full Column]

COFFEE COASTER WEEKLY PERKS

1. Is your Blackberry spying on you: An Android developer recently discovered a clandestine application called Carrier IQ built into most smartphones that doesn't just track your location; it secretly records your keystrokes, and there's nothing you can do about it. Is it time to put on a tinfoil hat? That depends on how you feel about privacy.
   In other words: Yes.


2. Stop the war drums for attacking Iran: There are no real grounds for war with Iran. If you're going to argue for war, you had better at least know what you're talking about, especially if you're going to be debating George Galloway. George Galloway vs. the warmonger parrot... Plus this war will likely lead to the end of humankind.


3. Senate passes stealth bill to end your due process: Not only did the Senate pass a bill allowing for the indefinite detention of Americans, violating every tenet of a 'free' society and denying Americans their constitutionally protected right to due process... the Senate REFUSED to pass an amendment to that bill which would have prevented the indefinite detention of American citizens. Brasscheck has 'em dead to rights.


4. New detention will be given to FDA: ... unless we stop them. They no longer need evidence that a product is harmful. Just a suspicion that there’s an error in the paperwork. If they don't like your supplement maker they can slap him in jail, and guess what, you don't get your supplements. Still time to act to stop the FDA Thuggernaut.


5. The Best Short Video on the Web: Vote for Dr. No. In just two minutes... In case anyone needs a reminder of what an epic train wreck Bush-Bama has been for the nation, here' a short video that sums it all up. It happens to have been made by a Ron Paul supporter. Ron Paul has faults, but his election would be revolutionary.


6. Top Government Expert Reveals Osama-9/11 Truth:Top US government insider Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik, a man who held numerous different influential positions under three different Presidents still working with the Defense Department, has told Alex Jones that Osama Bin Laden died in 2001 and that he was prepared to testify in front of a grand jury how a top general told him directly that 9/11 was a false flag inside job.


7. Malaysia tribunal finds Bush and Blair guilty of war crimes: The Indict Bush and Cheney movement, which demands accountability, is part of an international effort led by human rights activists, legal scholars, elected officials and progressive organizations. People around the world are responsible for a dramatic shift in the political climate. This is grassroots democracy in action. No power is greater.


8. How Fiat Money Strangles the World: Where the rich get richer and the poor get angry. Watch this fab little video, and share it with as many as you can, because it's the way things work. It also tells us exactly what we need to do to fix the global problem. Personally, I'm ready for my $30K reparations check from the banksters.


9. US is officially a terrorist state: Former US Senator Mike Gravel tells it like it is without any sugar coating. The US has lost its way morally. The rest of the world regards the US and its security/military forces as nothing but a drunkard wandering around looking for someone to beat up... preferably a weakling. The Vietnam Warcrime Syndrome persists.

MUST SEE:
Very Special Brasscheck TV broadcast: In conjunction with Prison Planet, Russell Means is featured in a 1:30 long presentation entitled "Russell Means: Welcome to the Reservation." What the Oligarchy is doing to us is what it's been doing to the American Indians from the beginning! I have never seen as thorough and incisive an analysis of what ails human society--particularly America--nor a judgment of what we need to do. Starting by enforcing the Constitution and taking away privileges of the money power. ABSOLUTELY A BLOCKBUSTER! If anyone knows how to get the DVD, please, please send me a note.

Russell is in the news from INN (Infowars Nightly News) again, and he is suffering from health issues. Please contribute through the referenced site or through this PayPal link shown as follows:

UN calls on Obama to Investigate and Prosecute U.S. Torture Charges
Wikileaks Documents Prove Torture, Abuse and Criminal Acts Were Systematic

In the wake of the release of 400,000 documents by Wikileaks, the United Nations has called on U.S. President Barack Obama to order a full investigation of crimes committed against the Iraqi people following the invasion and occupation that was directed by George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld. UN special rapporteur on torture Manfred Nowak declared that the Obama administration has a legal and moral obligation to fully investigate credible claims of US forces' complicity in torture. Nick Clegg, the deputy Prime Minister in the UK has, in the wake of the recent revelations, also called for an investigation into the reports of mass torture disclosed in the newly released documents. Check out this extremely illuminating RT video outlining multiple horrendous crimes on the Iraqi people as US government policy. Then act!

Latest news from IndictBushNow.org: Protests are greeting Cheney at his book signings and preventing Bush from attending a Canadian university. Former FBI agent Coleen Rowley states: “Is it proper to honor this war criminal [Bush] who launched preemptive, unjustified wars of aggression and ‘shock and awe’ that led to hundreds of thousands of people killed, mostly civilian ‘collateral damage’ and widespread destruction in the Middle East?”

My personally adopted American political prisoner is Pete Hendrickson. He currently languishes in federal detention for crimes that are not crimes, for leading the freedom cause on taxes, respectively. Please help him financially and by getting out the word to end the federal Mob that would silence him.

Help Pete Hendrickson uphold the tax law on the federal government: Please check out Pete's latest letter above then a less recent one here: "Tax Truth from the Front: Timely clarity on income tax from Pete Hendrickson." You can branch off to other sites, but we must free Pete Hendrickson and liberate all the other political prisoners if we are to enjoy a benevolent, free society based on the Sacred Nonaggression Principle. Pete's recent News Release. Please distribute it widely among the media.
Please communicate with Pete by mail at:
Peter Hendrickson #15406-039,
P.O. Box 1000,
Milan FCI,
E. Arkona Rd.,
Milan, MI 48160
Then help with the financial end with his family going through an equal if not greater amount of stress from the federal mobsters. Please send donations to:

Bernard von Nothaus facing many years
The VP (vicious prosecutocracy) is looking for upwards of 20

Bernard von NotHaus (BVNH), the convicted monetary architect of the Liberty Dollar now faces sentencing. This is a very dangerous time. If the report prepared before sentencing is uncontested or poorly contested (as per the trail) BVNH could very likely spend the rest of his life in prison for introducing a value based currency, protecting the people's purchasing power and trying to return America to a sound and honest monetary system. Please don't let that happen. BVNH as secured a short term $20,000 loan and retained a sentencing attorney to defend him at the sentencing. But he needs to repay that loan very quickly. Would you please help?

There are many farm handouts; but let's call them what they really are: a form of legalized theft. Essentially, a congressman tells his farm constituency, "Vote for me. I'll use my office to take another American's money and give it to you." – Walter Williams, economist and syndicated columnist
