Mon, 08 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -0700

The media is vilifying Iranian President Ahmadinejad again, this time for suggesting that "the causes and conditions that led to the [9.11] attacks, as well as who orchestrated them, still need to be examined", and that the official account of the attack is "a big lie". How dare he!

Once again genetically modified crops...

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Once again genetically modified crops prove uncontainable. An experimental strain of GM rice has made it's way into the food supply. The offending company, Bayer, is facing its SECOND lawsuit for not being able to control it's product. It doesn't take a lot of imagination to think of what would happen if the wrong GM crop were to get out and contaminate the crops of an entire region, or even continent. If all this GM technology is as safe as the media would have us believe, than why have the global elite invested in a backup plan?

Big news!! Pharma routinely bribes...

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Big news!! Pharma routinely bribes doctors and researchers to fake studies and push their wares! OK, it's not that big of a surprise. It is nice to see it in print, though.

I'm sure by now you've heard the term...

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -0700

I'm sure by now you've heard the term "too big to fail" used to describe the financial and auto companies that would supposedly wreck the economy if allowed to go under. Well, now it appears some crimes are "too big to bust". Sibel Edmonds, recently freed from gag order, dropped a bomb of a story telling of government-wide corruption. Unfortunately no one's touching it out of fear of bringing the whole system down. I said it regarding AIG and GM, and I'll say it again... Let 'em burn!

Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Wednesday night congress renewed the Patriot Act. Democrats even backed down from their half-assed attempt at watering it down a little. Oh, the disappointment.

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 00:00:00 -0700

British intel picked up some terrorist chatter about putting explosives in women's breast implants. I bet the boys at the TSA can't wait to start searching for them. The Pope, of all people, recently sounded off on the subject of degrading airport searches saying, "It is essential never to lose sight of respect for the primacy of the person."

In an egregious violation of privacy,...

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 00:00:00 -0700

In an egregious violation of privacy, school supplied laptop computers can be (and are) remotely activated to spy on your children while they are at home. If there ever was a technology ripe for abuse... Big Brother is watching. **Rafael - i tried responding to your email but the addy you supplied was bad.

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 00:00:00 -0700

It didn't take long for people to start abusing the new peep-show airport scanners. The victim, a Bollywood superstar, laughed it off and even signed the printouts of his naked body for the offending female airport staff members. The media is playing it off like it's a cute and funny story, but what's happening to the images of your body? Or those of your wife or husband? Your children? Like I needed another reason to dislike the TSA.

Makers of the ARTIFICIAL sweetener...

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Makers of the ARTIFICIAL sweetener Aspartame have reacted to the growing negative, but factual, press that it is a toxin and causes brain tumors in lab tests, by rebranding. Say good bye to artificial sweetener Aspartame, say hello to natural(?!) sweetener AminoSweet! aww... doesn't that sound harmless?

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Are you planning to overthrow the government? Do you live in South Carolina? You better register with the Secretary of State!

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Exxon has been granted a cherry deal to drill in Iraq. Mission Accomplished!

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:00:00 -0700

John Yoo and co. are off the hook for authoring the infamous Torture Memos, which [according to the Bush Admin.] authorized all kinds of heinous acts committed in our name. Once again Obama lets justice fall by the wayside.

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Last week we lost a great man... Howard Zinn, author of "A People's History of the United States" (which I highly recommend). He will be missed.

Yet again, genetically modified food...

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Yet again, genetically modified food has been scientifically proven to be harmful to your health. Three strains of Monsanto's GM corn have been linked to organ damage, primarily the kidneys and liver. We need to get this poison off the market, because i guarantee you and your loved ones ARE eating it.

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Those seeking justice for Bush era, and likely ongoing, warrantless wiretapping get brushed off yet again by a district court judge who said it's not the judicial branch's problem and passed the buck to congress. There are still a few other cases yet to be heard on variations of the subject. Lets hope they fare better.

The United States is now officially...

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0700

The United States is now officially corporate run, thanks to a Supreme Court Decision today allowing corporations to directly bankroll election campaigns. I mean, not that we weren't already corporate run, but now they don't have to be sneaky or break laws to do it. From now on if you want to hold public office you'll have to sell your soul to Exxon just to stand a chance. a dark day for 'Merica.

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Did you know animal rights activism was terrorism? It is now.

Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, the head of health...

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, the head of health at the Council of Europe, is pointing out what many of us have suspected for a time: that the swine flu pandemic was a big fat hoax! Apparently there are members of the World Health Organization that are firmly in the pockets of Big Pharma. These ne'er-do-wells deliberately lowered the alarm threshold for a 'pandemic' so that they could sell boatloads of flu vaccine. much of which was poorly contrived and even dangerous. I wonder if the good Dr. will take a look at any of the other 'pandemics' we've had in the past few years... remember the bird flu? what about SARS?

Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, etc., etc.!! (Screw Monsanto.)

The National Alliance on Mental Illness...

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 00:00:00 -0700

The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), supposedly a grassroots, non-profit consumer advocacy group has been exposed as nothing more than a front for big pharma. NAMI's been taking 'donations' from pharmaceutical companies to the tune of $23 million per year, and in return they've been singing the praises of all the toxins put out by their benefactors.

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 00:00:00 -0700

The powers that be are taking full advantage of the fervor generated by climate change. Exhibit A: The system being implemented to save us from the evils of carbon will be 'cap and trade'. Unfortunately the system was engineered by the same genius behind credit default swaps and will eventually come to a similar conclusion. Exhibit B: A memo now known as the Danish Text was leaked to the London Guardian explaining how the developed countries are going to use the Copenhagen summit to put the screws to the developing world by pulling a bait 'n' switch on the amount of emission cuts they'll have to make, abandon the Kyoto protocol, and worst of all, bring the World Bank in on the scam (just ask John Perkins about the World Bank).

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0700

My home state of AZ is looking to privatize 9 of its 10 state prisons. If there's anything i fear more than the military industrial complex, it's the prison industrial complex. If you make prisons profitable, their owners are going to lobby lawmakers to create more prisoners. The US already leads the world in prison populations per capita AND in total numbers! It's a dangerous path we tread.

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0700

If you agree with Senator Bernie Sanders' belief that if banks are too big to fail then they are too big to exist, sign his petition to bring about legislation that will break apart financial institutions that have gotten too big for anyone's good.

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0700

I have a piece in the All Decks on Hand show tonight at the After Hours Gallery (116 W. McDowell Rd). It's a benefit for autism research, so come on down and show your support!

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0700

According to Afghan officials The US and other NATO forces have taken over the region's drug trade. Looks like our tax dollars are being used to supply the world with opium.

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0700

DARPA is getting closer to achieving it's goal of creating cyborg insect spies. So far they can successfully remote-control 'em. Now all they need is surveillance equipment small enough for the critters to carry.

You have a new fan of your blog and/or twitter! Oh wait... that's the CIA.

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Obama's recent decision to support renewing the Patriot Act and to continue the practice of indefinite detention without trial goes to show that they really are all the same. Well, let's hope he can pull off something with health care.

When all this new hubbub about...

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0700

When all this new hubbub about terrorist plots started making the scene recently, I figured something fishy was up, but I didn't know what... Until today! Turns out some of the more unconstitutional parts of the Patriot Act are set to expire soon, and what better than the threat of bearded brown folk to scare the country into renewing that horrible piece of law. The funny thing is, of the 763 times the 'sneak-and-peek' provision was used in 2008, only THREE were terrorism related! Thankfully Senators Russ Feingold and Al Franken are sticking up for the constitution. I can only hope more will follow their example.

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Obama gave his healthcare pitch tonight. I personally don't think he's going far enough, but it's a good start. On that note, here's a funny cartoon about why we need public healthcare!

Sat, 05 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Last night at the Deck Show someone stole Daniel Martin Diaz's piece right off the wall. Mike and Kenny bust their humps putting that event together and this is the thanks they get? If anyone saw it happen, or knows who did it, or sees the deck around please let the Pravus guys know. or if YOU did it, I'm sure if you showed up at the gallery with the deck and an apology, they'd let you off the hook.

I have a piece in the Deck Show tonight...

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0700

I have a piece in the Deck Show tonight at Pravus. Come down to the art walk and check it out!

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0700

The Czech Republic nixed the swine flu vaccine when the maker, Baxter, wouldn't guarantee it's safety. Australia is having similar issues. If the maker of the vaccine won't vouch for it, would you take it?

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Thanks to a Freedom of Information Act suit filed by the financial news company, Bloomberg, The Federal Reserve has been ordered by the court to spill the beans on where all our bailout money went! of course they're trying to fight it, but it's great news!

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Watch Obama justify indefinite detention for crimes that haven't been committed (yet) in this video. Due process? Naaaaaaaaah!

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Under pressure from Monsanto, et al., the USDA is trying to allow genetically modified food to be labeled organic. It goes without saying that this is terrible. For those of us that want nothing to do with their dangerous frankenstein-food, organic is the last refuge. Don't let them take that away! call congress and let them know how you feel.

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 00:00:00 -0700

A couple of whistleblowers and former employees of the mercenary company formerly known as Blackwater (now Xe), have in sworn statement claimed their founder and head honcho, Erik Prince, had some people involved in an investigation of his company rubbed out! Added to the charges are gun running, destroying incriminating evidence, and deceiving federal officials. Not only that, but they allege he also believes himself some kind of Holy Crusader bent on wiping Islam out of existence! They are mercenaries after all... what did you expect? well, the crusader thing is kind of out there, but the rest seems about right.

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Obama is trying to put a couple of Monsanto toadies in charge of our food safety at the FDA! Let's see if we can convince him otherwise by signing and passing along this petition.

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0700

After denying any such thing could possibly happen, Monsanto's genetically modified (GM) beets are turning up in people's backyard gardens. This is devastating to the organic food movement, and frankly to the food supply of all. Why devastating? The American Academy of Environmental Medicine found a direct correlation between GM foods and adverse health effects, and have called for a moratorium on their production. Don't eat Monsanto's poison.

Do you have proof of torture or...

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0700

Do you have proof of torture or prisoner abuse by the hands of US personnel? Better keep it to yourself, because it's now illegal to blow that whistle.

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0700

I have no love for the TSA. recently added to their list of reasons to detain and question you is if you're carrying more than a reasonable amount of money. They're just a bunch of bullies and their harassing everyone at the airport certainly doesn't make me feel any safer about flying. I pray for the day they are disbanded.
