Even as he normalizes his own past callous brutality he takes a partisan dig......his heart plays all the GQP chords! Don't mistake this for a confession or apology. The protestant ethic is quite acidic down to the soul.
Lately, I've been reflecting on the propaganda inputs of my childhood coming through in popular TV shows, and what they might say about this casual disposition toward war crimes, as well as toward the daily gun violence in US cities. And my brain, a repository of music that I dislike as well as music I treasure, came up with this ditty from an old TV horse opera called Texas John Slaughter (compliments of Disney). With an aptly named lead character, the theme song told us that "Texas John Slaughter made 'em do what they oughta, 'cause if they didn't they died." Helps me recognize that I've been fighting that casual attitude toward American authoritarian violence ever since I began to awaken in my late teens. Murder is so deeply ingrained in the marrow of this culture that a brain-addled mediocrity like Dubya in charge of the world's most ridiculously outsized military should surprise no one.
Totally relate to the unpredictable jukebox of jingles and old TV themes. And the way it rhymed slaughter with otter just makes it stick all the more. And yes, 'casual attitude toward American authoritarian violence' says it well.
Notice how many of them were sentenced to death (even twice), yet they thrived and even held high political positions... did I mention the Berlin Document Center?
Oh and somehow this is all relevant again... because of course there are no Neo-Nazis in the Ukraine.
It’s just not possible to peruse each issue. Wiki does a decent job but sure there is no way of preventing propaganda toileting. It can be corrected so you should amend anything you can show is wrong.
If you wanted to see Wiki abused, vide the entry on Woody Allen before and after Lesley Dart et al. sunk her fangs into it. Anthony Faxweiner and Harve Weinstein too. They are the perfect antidote for ingested poison.
Holy cow. The most Freudian Slip of All Time seems to herald that we are doomed no matter who is (s)elected. I want to add that no one could vote for any Despicable Democrat unless they have not been paying attention but . . .
Your phrase (s)elected is brilliant. I concur about being doomed while the pendulum swings right to left to right to left without changing anything. But I don't know how term limits would change anything except the speed of the metronome of doom.
it really saddens me you have so few likes on your posts. you’re doing some of the most important work that can be done in our time but you’re yelling into the wind of a haboob.
This is the biggest political own goal EVER. After seeing the US press laugh about Bush looking for WMDs under furniture, I am not at all surprised that they laugh about this.
Isn't interesting that the "truthers"(us) are the ones derided in the press. Then once in a Blue Moon the man peeks out from behind his Disneyland curtain, and the gimp lets slip with an unintended truth, or, as Mr Green Jeans used to say on Captain Kangaroo,(yes, I'm pre-Sesame Stree); "It gets funnier and funnier", and the fools laugh along with him. Yes, folks, monsters do exist. One must learn to laugh at it; or go mad. Peace
We did this in thePNAC/ Killary/Bush/Biden runup to the invasion of Iraq. Please re-post! Thanks in advance!!! - Tom Laney
Workers for Peace
We invite everyone in our world to sign this call for a conversation about peace. It doesn't matter if you are a housewife, farmer, teacher, office worker, union or nonunion or unemployed. We are all Sisters and Brothers here and we must rely on each other to get the Solidarity World we deserve. Please share!
In our workplaces and poverty lines across our world, plutocrats and corporate royalty and their union hacks collude to persuade us to see other workers as competitors and enemies.
We are pushed by powerful, corrupt labor Bigs to believe that it is now the business of trade unionism to put our brothers and sisters out of work.
We see how this dog eat dog attitude towards all workers -- with whom we have everything in common -
We see that in war, soldiers -- the production workers of war -- lose not only their jobs but also their lives while the rich profit.
We say that war is the eventual endgame outcome of worker against worker, dog eat dog competition which workers lose so the rich can be richer.
War is the ultimate, evil competition.
We call on workers everywhere to stop the competition between us and to fight for a world based in solidarity.
Everyone can at least talk and we ask that our talk include what we can all do to make the world a safe and happier place. We call on workers to simply talk about the traditional direct action tools of the labor movement.
Can we call for and have international conversations about redeveloping our traditional weapons -- slowdowns, sitdowns, and strikes -- to bring down those who kill us, and to equalize wages and working conditions at the highest possible levels throughout the world?
If we must fight, let us fight against those who constantly divide us and play us against each other for their own profit even to the point of forcing us to kill each other.
If we must fight a war let it be a war against selfishness and poverty.
Let us fight to unite all workers against the destructive, dictatorial greed of corporate moguls. Let us fight to see that those who have the least gain equality in wages, health care and education and the right to a happy life.
A simple conversation started amongst workers who believe in the working class values of solidarity, equality and democracy can change the world.
Let our war begin with the peaceful exchange of words and ideas.

That is f*cking priceless. The hypocrisy is so stark, so thick, you need a diamond-studded chain saw to cut through it.
Yes, Shrub, you're right, Putin's invasion of Ukraine is substantially similar to the Coalition of the Willing's invasion of Iraq. "My violence is greater than your violence, 'collateral damage' be damned." That's the rationale behind each invasion at its core. God loves violence, afterall.
Shrub, you looked into his eyes and said he was a good man with a good soul. What happened? Why have you reversed course? In fact, your invasion and occupation of Iraq, Shrub, ended up benefitting Russia more than it did America. Research it, folks, it's the truth. China and Russia have benefitted more from the Iraq war crime than has America, at least directly they have. Indirectly, Western defense contractors made huge bank and the military expanded its burgeoning budget tremendously.
Putin is an enemy of the people every bit as much as the West's oligarchical wealthy elite and their political whores and sycophantic PMC minions are enemies of the people. They are birds of a feather.
Meanwhile, the Great Replacement Theory. What it really is.
Yes, "...our news media and our politicians are lying to us constantly. They lied to us through 2002 and 2003, and they never stopped lying, and they are lying now in the year 2022." That includes the entire Covid-19 scamdemic and most other events of 2020-Jan 6, 2021. Hydroxychloroquine, the "seeding" of nursing homes with infected Covid-19 patients, "mostly peaceful" riots damaging black neighborhoods tolerated by Democratic mayors and governors, a "racist," "white supremacist" youth who shot 3 people in self-defense in Kenosha, the Whitmer kidnapping entrapment and 2000 mules that are proven to have existed whether or not they affected the elections. They were lying long before 2002-2003. We saw it in Vietnam, Iran-Contra, incubator babies and even the Balkans. I'm sure it started before I was born in 1947 as well.
I was impressed with Bush's agility in dodging that shoe. Imagine if it was our current POTUS Mr. Wiggins? It would have hit him square in the face and he wouldn't have even felt it or known. Trump wouldn't have dodged it either and orange makeup would have flown every which way. Obama would have caught it and threw it back. Clinton would have humped it as he does everything that comes close to him.
You give a lot of credit to the public. They're certainly fed a lot of propaganda but I'm not sure there'd be a great uprising if everyone suddenly "knew" Iraq was an illegal invasion enriching a few oligarchs at the cost of millions of murdered civilians.
Preaching to the choir again. Tell me how we move the needle on those to busy or stupid to understand the consequences of your valid assessment. Or are we just fucked?
Made me CRY, to list Pittsburgh & Philly food, vs NYC! You can't get decent latka, horseradish cream cheese & caviar, here, let alone smoked sturgeon & kasha knish! Fuck AIPAC!
I love Scrapple and could eat the hell out of it when I was young. Now? Last time I had some when I was in the Philly area, it took me three weeks to digest it. Sure, it was great, but not three weeks to digest it great!!!
A delightful unintended confession. Thanks for sharing. If there were any justice....
Even as he normalizes his own past callous brutality he takes a partisan dig......his heart plays all the GQP chords! Don't mistake this for a confession or apology. The protestant ethic is quite acidic down to the soul.

To be honest, when I first read the GWB quote I thought it was fake internet snark. I can’t believe it’s real!!!
And here I thought the best thing GWB did was take up painting.

John Fetterman’s stroke:
( ) PennsylTucky, Amish apple smoked peppercorn bacon wrapped kishka & scrapple
( ) Cured pork cheek, pickled artichoke & Scamourza pizza with goose-fat french fries
( ) John’s Pork Philadelphia: Cheesesteak, pulled pork, Whiz, onions & sopresatta
( ) McKees Rocks: venison kielbasa, halushki, borscht & chanterelle, horseradish pierogi
( ) Mossad hit team
( ) PASC symptom
All of the above and some.
Made me CRY, to list Pittsburgh & Philly food, vs NYC! You can't get decent latka, horseradish cream cheese & caviar, here, let alone smoked sturgeon & kasha knish! Fuck AIPAC!
I love Scrapple and could eat the hell out of it when I was young. Now? Last time I had some when I was in the Philly area, it took me three weeks to digest it. Sure, it was great, but not three weeks to digest it great!!!
Garlic, toasted buckwheat groats, hot paprika, lemon, pink peppercorns, onions, parsley, cracked sorghum, and slab bacon fat.
PLUS: Pig cheeks from WILD, feral hogs!
Yum! They saved the rectum for hot dogs. Share the love.
Fantastic, thank you!
