Profound Pontifications

Yemeni president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, recently threw a red herring in the mix: He stated that it is un-Islamic for women to join men in demonstrations against his rule.
What are your views on this?

It’s time Pvt. Bradley Manning is upheld by the American people for the patriot that he is. To sit idly by while this man is tortured for disclosing information to Wikileaks that the American people need to know – punished without even an adjudication of guilt – is tantamount to keeping silent knowing our government is torturing Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Paul Revere, Harriet Tubman, etc.

Our government does this because they are aware of our general apathy. When do we make it stop? When will we coalesce our collective energies, organize to stop the onslaught?

Isn’t it clear how heavy-handed our power-mad government has become? Don’t we all realize that Wisconsin was only the beginning? Not only do they piss in our faces and call it rain, they want to control the dissemination of information so that they can continue the "spin" that the damn urine is rain! Are you all ready to put aside fabricated differences and start the grassroots effort to wrest control of our country from the oligarchy? Any thoughts?

One of the people I follow on Google Buzz shared the following cartoon depicting humorous charges leveled against Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange:

I commented on this post as follows:

This would be just a funny cartoon where it not for the “Assange has gone too far” message at the end. That’s what makes it the subliminal tool of posturing, as our government [the one run by the guy who campaigned on transparency] positions itself as “our protectors” in its war against the freedoms of the press – the right to know what our government is up to!

Those who are honorable public servants fear not the light. They don’t exaggerate issues of national security to manipulate the public. They SERVE the public!

From Alex Jones’ “Prison Planet“:

It seems that the man – who was whittling wood as he walked – didn’t put the knife down that he was carving with. There was no indication that he lunged at officer. The officer is heard to say to a witness whom questioned his actions, “He wouldn’t put the knife down”. I say, “Police Brutality!!” What about you?
