The Man Made Plagues In 1992 I walked into the University of North Dakota Library to do some research of Congressional documents.

No yellow ribbons from this ex-marine We can and should support troops-to-be, but do so before they become troops. We should post a warning sign, and disclaimer, in all recruiting stations. Prospective enlistees should be told that their new employer will not be the Department of Defense, but the Department of War; and that their service will not be in the defense of freedom and democracy, but in the building of an empire for America's powerful elite. And that their countrymen, for all the yellow ribbons and pseudo-patriotic talk...

Homeland Security Official Arrested For Luring Minors On the Internet 
Homeland Security official caught in child porn sting....a.k.a. It's Times Like These I Especially Appreciate The Police and Prisons!! Yet another reason why we need a system of firm checks and balances in all forms of government. Kudos to this Police Dept. that was not intimidated to take on Homeland Security: the President's personal security force who have the guts to issue "security memos" even though they always seem to have their head up their ass. According to many account...

The Only Hope For the World I see only one way out; a metamorphic leap of faith, an about face in the way we think, a decision to let go of everything that we, as a nation, once held dear, an understanding that the world will surely end unless we recognize the fact that we have no choice but to embrace our enemy as our brother, the one, without whom, we will never find peace, a brother-in-arms, enchained from head to toe, with whom we will either drown, or, together, might be allowed to live for yet another day.......

Jeff "Free" Luers Prison Dispatch, March 2006 Earlier this month, the Earth Liberation Front struck in Salem, Oregon. I doubt many people outside of Oregon heard about this action. However, in Oregon it was a hot news topic for days.
What kind of daring action could garner such media attention? The words "Stop building ant farms, ELF" spray-painted on a new housing development.
The first headlines were "Eco-terrorists strike again". Then the speculations came. Was this an act of hardened terrorists or was it a p...

How did the world suddenly become inhabited by good, red-blooded Americans and a bunch of gooks, slopes, ragheads, hadjis and any other pejorative which makes them seem less than human? How did the world suddenly become us and them? How is it that no one's beliefs and concerns have validity except ours? How has it come about that the world is now divided between us, our few allies, and a world of terrorists?...
