Letters Home from Vietnam (9/10)
Review by Brian WrightDear America

Mrs. Stocks (Ellen Burstyn):
[In a letter to her KIA son, left at the Vietnam Memorial]
Dear Bill,

I came to this black wall again, to see and touch your name. William R. Stocks. And as I do, I wonder if anyone ever stops to realize that next to your name, on this black wall, is your mother’s heart. A heart broken fifteen years ago today, when you lost your life in Vietnam. And as I look at your name, I think of how many, many times I used to wonder how scared and homesick you must have been, in that strange country called Vietnam…. [1: remainder] Continue reading →

Thoughts on the club of liberals, transhumanism,
and depopulation, by Jon Rappoport

libertas_veritasJanuary 25, 2013: www.nomorefakenews.com

By liberals, I simply mean those people who accept big government as a given, regardless of their political affiliation.

And yes, at certain key levels, they are a club. They come from major media, large corporations, banks, the military, well-funded foundations, investment houses, do-good non-profits, legal and medical societies, academic factories, think tanks, and of course the huge pool of government employees.

… or the temporarily out of commission
(initially posted 8/15/11)

Providence Park HospitalIt occurred to me the other day, after visiting a neighbor who is hospitalized, that I may have acquired a certain penchant for this sort of modest gesture. Many seem to consider a willingness to visit the sick—especially those who are not good friends or kin—a hallmark of sensitivity. Reading the Bible, Matthew 25:36, Jesus says, “Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.” Which I remember from Sunday School many years ago. Well, I don’t consider myself overly sentimental, but looking out for others does bring a profound (even selfish) satisfaction. Continue reading →

Son of Bobby nails the Plunder Elite for destruction of the environment
by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Crimes Against Nature

What’s so exciting about this expose is that Mr. Kennedy—senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, chief prosecuting attorney for Riverkeeper, and president of Waterkeeper Alliance—advocates an extreme “free-market” position:

“You show me a polluter and I’ll show you a subsidy. I’ll show you a fat cat using political clout to escape the discipline of the free market and load his production costs onto the backs of the public.”

One of the favorite movie romances of all time,
and for good reason __ 9/10
Review by Brian Wright

Sleepless in SeattleDoctor Marcia Fieldstone: Tell me what was so special about your wife?
Sam Baldwin: Well, how long is your program? Well, it was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were suppose to be together… and I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home… only to no home I’d ever known… I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like… magic.

Thoughts on O-Nauguration Day II and
Obamayahu‘s abject betrayal of the MLK Legacy
by Various

ObamayahuThe third Monday in January was declared Martin Luther King Day as signed into law by Ronald Reagan in 1983 and first observed in 1986. Whatever our reservations as libertarians to Dr. King’s political oeuvre, most of us will agree that his unique application of the Gandhian nonviolence ethic to civil rights activism and to protesting the US War Machine is balls-out, Bill-of-Rights inspirational. His principled opposition to the Warcrime of Vietnam also undoubtedly got him assassinated by that Machine.

Fast forward to our Drone-Wielding Pakistani Wedding Party Crasher who took the oath of office today and invoked Dr. King’s civil libertarian spirit while swearing allegiance to the Constitution on Dr. King’s personal Bible. If that isn’t the Pictionary definition of blasphemy, what is? Continue reading →

Dear Melody and Tanya:
Regarding threats of (and cures to) the ‘Toxocracy’

What are they sprayingOpen letter to Melody and Dr. Tanya, my
masseuse and chiropractor, respectively.—ed.

As I put this together, mainly for you Melody, because you asked about sulfur supplementation, other health issues besides atmospheric toxins came up that I’ve been researching lately… particularly, water ‘fluoridation’ and then the concerns about genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It became clear that it’s the material of a rather full column, so I’ve decided to post this on my Coffee Coaster site more or less as is. I just last night viewed the Jeffrey M. Smith movie on GM foods, and it was quite an eye-opener.[1]  Continue reading →
