Excerpt of Review

Dr. Strangelove (1964):
Harbinger of 2012 October? ___ 10/10

The subtitle for Dr. Strangelove is ‘How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.’ The form of which I find comes in handy for any number of acts of state excess: e.g. “how I learned to stop worrying and love drone surveillance,” “how I learned to stop worrying and love my RFID biochip,” “how I learned to stop worrying and love my FEMA internment camp”… you get the picture. In the 1950s and 1960s the threat of ‘nukuler war toe to toe with the Rooskies’ was a constant anxiety among all segments of American society, and no doubt other countries in the line of fire. It sure the hell scared the hell out of me. [Full Review]

Guest Column

Whackjobs for War vs. Iran
America Gone Stupid Over Iran [1] – An Analysis
by Lawrence Davidson

An excellent column sent my way via Gerhard Fuerst, occasional contributor to these pages. The alert liberals are usually on top of the threats to peace; I only wish more than a handful would come out and admit they were wrong about Obama. Not so much for voting for him in 2008, but for thinking he hasn’t brutally betrayed every shred of support he showed for peace, civil liberties, and even a semblance of economic sanity. Again, due to the urgency of the message, this column is an excerpt without asking for direct approval from the author. He of course retains all rights to the piece. [Full Column]

COFFEE COASTER WEEKLY PERKS

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

1. Solutions: An example of effective education: I would like very much to get rid of it. What then? Well, then we would be free to approach education in a much more effective and humane way. Finland has been providing clear examples of an approach to education that far exceeds our own, costs less, and doesn't treat children like machines or prisoners. The very least we could do is consider it...
   
   
2. States, not courts, will stop Obamacare: All eyes turned toward the Supreme Court this week, as justices began hearing arguments on the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. But is the SCOTUS the final chance for health care opponents? “No!” say Nullify Now! organizers. The states can and will stop mandates, indefinite detention, and more....


3. Pardoned journalist imprisoned at President Obama's request: A Yemeni journalist, who worked for ABC News and the Washington Post, and is cited by the New York Times as an Al-Qaeda expert, was moments away from being released from a Yemeni prison, but now remains there indefinitely at President Obama's request. Abdulelah Haider Shaye is perhaps guilty of exposing the U.S. involvement in the killing of 14 women and 21 children in a so-called strike on Al-Qaeda militants. A fact that President Obama wanted to be kept secret.


4. Government to destroy small farms based on livestock hair color: Big Agra has teamed up with government to run small farms out of business by defining virtually ALL open-range pigs as an illegal 'invasive species'. The state has said it will "destroy" these pigs beginning in April... Full story here.


5. 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?


6. 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.


7. 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.


8. Free speech/protesting is now a felony punishable by jail: Two weeks ago , President Obama signed into law the Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011. This law permits Secret Service agents to designate any place they wish as a place where free speech, association and petition of the government are prohibited. And it permits the Secret Service to make these determinations based on the content of speech


9. 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.


10. Obama Picks Sides on Tar Sands: Article from Common Dreams. Reports highlight the strong evidence that tar sands oil pipelines have more spills that conventional crude oil pipelines. It also points out that agricultural and rangeland comprises nearly 80 percent of the land affected by the pipeline. Pipeline spills would not only cause severe economic damage to the actual land but begin to impact our food chain.

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:

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!

My personally adopted American political prisoner is Pete Hendrickson. He currently languishes in federal detention for crimes that are not crimes, for articulating the truth on federal taxation powers. Please help him financially and by getting out the word.

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:
