Movie Review for the Weekend

Excerpt of Review

Smallville: "Relic" Episode
(2003):
Magical episode in young-Superman series _ 9/10

Interestingly, because of the BIG CONCEPT and the Superman lineage, the creators ratchet Smallville to a height several notches above Pleasantville: the 50s sensibilities are refreshing, the young protagonists (especially Lex) have quite a vocabulary and worldliness, the plots occasionally require you to pay attention, and the special effects are stellar and integral. [Most important: Smallville captures the iconic idealism of the maturing Superman.] As actors, the two awesomely attractive main characters, Welling and Kreuk, continue to improve; others in the ensemble, and many of the guest actors, can really bring it. The producers draw on a large pool of directors and writers for individual episodes, making for a varied output. [Full Review]


The Week that Was

Guest Column

America's Last Chance
Why is Ron Paul America’s last chance?
by Paul Craig Roberts

There isn’t much time in which to revive the Constitution. One more presidential term with no habeas corpus and no due process for US citizens and with torture and assassination of US citizens by their own government, and it will be too late. Tyranny will have been firmly institutionalized, and too many Americans from the lowly to the high and mighty will have been implicated in the crimes of the state. Extensive guilt and complicity will make it impossible to restore the accountability of government to law. If Ron Paul is not elected president in this year’s election, by 2016 American liberty will be in a forgotten grave in a forgotten grave yard. [Full Column]


COFFEE COASTER WEEKLY PERKS

"To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men."
— Ella Wheeler Wilcox

  1. Open letter from the Electronic Frontier: Dear Hollywood: The Internet can be great for creators and their community, but Hollywood's own leadership refuses to recognize and take advantage of its promise. It seems they’d rather spend membership dues on lawyers, lobbyists and astroturf than innovation. We humbly suggest that the men and women of the entertainment industries stand up and tell their bosses to either embrace the age of the Internet or get out of the way so that new, forward-thinking industry leaders can take their place. [More]

  2. Militarized forced vaccinations coming to your neighborhood: Nonetheless, this is what it will look like if we ever let them do it, and they WILL try. With school districts in California conducting door-to-door surprise vaccinations, and with the American Medical Association advocating compulsory participation in vaccine TRIALS, we are not very far off from seeing this sort of thing on our own highways.

  3. Media has no urgency in exposing primary voter fraud: The lame stream media is actually reporting on 'irregularities' surrounding the GOP caucuses, but it does so like it's reporting on some unseasonable weather. Wow. Hey. Well, would you look at that. On to the next story. No big deal, it's close enough, right? The missing boxes in Iowa, zombies in New Hampshire and South Carolina, and now in Nevada there were more votes than the number of people signed into the caucus. I'm sure it's fine...

  4. Lying the world into wars: In 2002, recently declassified documents demonstrated that the Gulf of Tonkin incident of 1964 never happened. We went to war in Vietnam. In 1990 they told us that Iraqi soldiers were tossing babies out of incubators. It was a hoax, a LIE. We launched Operation Desert Storm. This video lists a good many more, how many manufactured hostilities can you name?

  5. The best short video on the Web: Vote for Dr. No. (Here's an oldie but a bestie, I'm keeping this in Perkville until RP is elected president.) 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. All We need is one minute of their time: Our Action Alert is simple: Ask your senator or representative to make a one-minute floor speech opposing the FDA’s plan to sweep many supplements off the shelf and make the ones that survive much more expensive. Please help! The supplment you save may be your own. Act now!

  8. How fiat money strangles the world: A staple of Perkdom. This is a lovely video that everyone must see and resee. 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. Bradley Manning Support Network growing: Ron Paul, a prominent supporter of accused WikiLeaks whistle-blower Bradley Manning, has called Bradley Manning a "true patriot" and a "hero." A Whistle-blower's Conference is scheduled for the weekend of Feb 17 in support of Bradley. The UN condemns solitary confinement such as Bradley's 10 mos. at Quantico. Remember: Exposing war crimes is not a crime. Free Brad Now!

  10. New ways to federalize and militarize local police: For anyone that believes that there are terrorists hiding behind every corner in every American city, well, they'll probably like this and think that this is going to keep them 'safe'. However, for those of us that know that the 'War on Terror' is a fraud, we immediately recognize that all of this is really aimed at the American people. The NYPD's new K9 anti-terror units...

    — Martin Luther King

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 has been suffering from health issues—tho latests news is the cancer seems to have been defeated, hooray! Please contribute through the referenced site or through this PayPal link shown as follows:

Continuing War Crimes Perk

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?”


Political Prisoner Appeals

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:

Commerce Twp.
