Retired Col. Lawrence Wilkerson Slams U.S. Empire

If this video doesn't knock you on your ass, I don't know what will. 

Let me rephrase that -- many of the people watching this video already get it. But to see and hear a retired U.S. Army colonel, former National Security Advisor in the Reagan administration, former advisor to Colin Powell, dyed-in-the-wool Republican, saying this stuff, pointing out that the emperor is wearing no clothes, that, as he puts it, "this ship is sinking" -- well, I'd like to say it should make an impression on all the naysayers. But in fact I know it won't. 

They'll find a way to discredit him just as much as they discredit people such as Chris Hedges and Noam Chomsky. I know it won't make a dent. I'm posting it anyway. I hope people will share it.

Kerry Makes It Clear: Obama Wants Authority to Deploy Ground Troops in Iraq and Syria   

by Sarah Lazare

"The 2001 AUMF has been stretched well beyond what Congress intended, and there is no reason to believe the 2015 AUMF will not as well." —Marjorie Cohn, Thomas Jefferson School of Law. 

But, as usual, for know-nothing Democrats -- as bad as the know-nothing Republicans they love to decry -- Obama can do no wrong.

I used to say, back when Bush was president, that, for the Republican faithful, he would have to personally go up in a plane, bomb American cities, deny it, and still his supporters wouldn't shake their faith in him. They would find a way to make excuses. Well, the same is true for party Democrats now. 

The overwhelming sentiment of voters in this country is: "It's all okay, as long as my guy is doing it." 

And then we have the spectacle of former anti-war activist John Kerry leading the charge! The hypocrisy of this country is off the charts.

LUV News Wed 28 August 2013

Jack couldn't do LUV News today, so I did it. If you don't know what I'm talking about, see LUV News tag below or links at side for other examples. I've removed the graphics 'cause I don't have time to reproduce them all here. But since the U.S. seems determined to start blowing more people to kingdom come, I thought it was important to get this up for those who are interested in more than just the same propagandistic pabulum constantly repeated by mainstream media:

U.S. War Machine Never Rests: US Helped Hussein Gas Iran

As the U.S. (and U.K.) get set to bomb yet another country, to blow yet more people to smithereens, to use the excuse of a "red line" -- because, don'tchya know, murdering people by gassing them is so much worse than murdering them by blowing their brains out -- that's just logic -- can't you numbskulls see that? our overlords can -- as this relentless onslaught towards war continues, comes this news:
