Remnant of a remarkable presentatiion

4/21/05

After a month old promise I made to Keith to set up a fundraiser for him and provide a format to present the photographs and findings of his journalistic investigations of the African Genocides, I was able to network a little and found great support. The Coalition for Peace and Justice here in Salisbury,Ct. and a few friends of Keith’s. Gary Pontifiandolfo, our buddy and the former editor of the late great newspaper the VOICE NEWS and Jedd Gould the former publisher of the VOICE printed up many full color flyers for the presentation. Then we got some unexpected aid from Gale Toensing, reporter for the Waterbury Republican, who attended and wrote a great article about Keith’s presentation. Finally we got a good response from the public and many generous guests. I love it when things come together this well. Two other local television producers attended the program to film it. My thanks to John Brennan,producer of “The Truth Seekers” and Ken Coronet and Joe Mustish who produce the “Questioning Citizen.” I shouldn’t have to mention it (but I will) that the” L.A. STEEL SHOW” also filmed the event for television.

I am requesting all my readers, if they possibly can, to help out this very worthy cause. Keith has no corporate support for his work and has still established a respected journalistic presence in Africa. His work has been published in many international publications with his remarkable photography. He has also been published in “Project Censored” a yearly book publication that prints the top 25 most censored articles of the year by the U.S. media.

Keith’s courage, compassion and commitment have greatly inspired me and I believe all who attended his presentation. Through his sensitive photography of the African people he has captured their beautiful humanity. Keith exposes the brutal exploitation by American and international corporations and countries whose intentions are to keep war, genocide and chaos a part of the African mythology. A mythology sponsored and promoted by the New York Times, Atlantic Monthly, and so many main stream publications. Their articles are designed to influence the public around the world by ignoring the corporate and political exploitation of Africa by their owners and sponsors and redirect the attentions of the public away from the true culprits committing the atrocities. Keith has investigated the connections between Barrick Gold and G.H.W Bush, Diamond and Cobalt mining interests of Bill Clinton, Maurice Templespan, and the numerous links and connections of powerful western political leaders and the secret invasions and wars sponsored by the CIA and other covert agencies from countries around the world who are fighting over the mining and oil riches they are plundering from the African people.

I have completed a videotaped recording of Keith’s 4/16/05, 90 minute presentation, which will be made available to the public within a week or so. A minimal donation to cover cost and postage will be charged and a percentage of the proceeds will go to help fund Keith’s work as he is preparing to return to the Congo within the next few months.

I urge all my readers to go to Keith’s website at www.allthingspass.com I have this hyperlinked in the LINKS section of this website. Please look at the site and enjoy the photo gallery. I seldom have sponsored a fundraiser for anyone, but Keith Harmon Snow’s work is well worth the effort. He may be controversial to many but I can attest Keith is the genuine article. A true humanitarian, truth seeker, and a great writer, whose work through the support of the global citizenry will be seen, read and heard around the world and will expose the real criminals and bring them to justice so peace and prosperity may finally come to the long suffering, indigenous people of the African Continent.

Sometimes you can’t find the right words.

4/15/05
I have tried to express myself in so many different ways, but regardless of my methods or mediums I always encounter major resistance from my indifference, anger, contempt, arrogance, guilt, presentation, dislike, fear, self-consciousness, over confidence, lack of confidence. These are just a few of the great walls of resistance I encounter trying to express myself to others.

I know that they are the same problems most people have expressing themselves but sometimes when all these things strike at once the effect can be numbing. I get this way often when I try to write a piece about current issues that so desperately need expression, but I cannot seem to create the objectivity needed to adequately interpret to an audience many of these issues.

I can’t help from feeling outraged when I think about or analyze the Bush Administration policies. I can’t objectively view the madness behind the rational for anything this administration is doing. So I create an attempt at objectivity which I later find is impossible for me to do and either forget the entire issue or concept and leave the keyboard, or camera or microphone and move on to another thought, that appears for the moment more comprehensible and can be looked at more objectively.

I often brood over certain issues like the John Bolton nomination for the U.N or Negroponte’s appointment for the chief of all U.S. Intelligence agencies. Or the massive failure in Iraq and the insanity of the Far Christian Right, or how Tom Delay is still allowed to be Majority leader of the House of Representatives, or why George W. is even the president when he won the election through total fraud. You see, I can’t remain objective especially if more information comes to me to validate my suspicions. I can not rest until I have expressed my anger or my biased perspective of the issue to someone, either here on this website or on camera or shout it out on radio. So if I seem rattled or slightly overly opinionated on some subject or other and you are wondering what I’m getting at or what is the point of my article, I apologize; because I have failed once again at accurately and objectively expressing myself on these issues.

The Power of the Extreme Minority

4/13/05

I’ve never considered myself a mathematician but common sense and basic math skills brought me to a startling observation. If one considers that there are approximately seven billion people on planet earth and maybe one percent of all these people are involved with governments and militaries, that would be 70 million people controlling the entire world. When we further consider who controls the governments around the world we can honestly reduce the number to less than 100,000 banks and corporations, their CEOs and Boards of Directors. 100,000 x 10
(Estimate of number of active directors on each board) = 1,000,000 people who influence 70,000,000 people in government and military, which control 7,000,000,000 people around the world.

Now we must consider who controls the 1,000,000 top executives and board members of these major corporations. The only power that contains these titans of avarice is the media. Now consider how very few people control the media around the world and you have the truest common denominator. Without too much research we can probably all name 9 television news media outlets that are (influenced) not directly operated by governments. I will state the ones I know. ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, FOX, ALJAZZERA, CLEAR CHANNEL, COMCAST, BLOOMBURG. I am sure that there are others not quite as well known but for the most part in the U.S as well as other countries chances are there are no more than a few major independent networks that broadcast news and entertainment.

As for the print media there are no more than 100 legitimate, national and international magazines and news papers that produce journalism and debate or commentary on current and important issues, the rest is sensationalism, gossip, nudity and crudity. These 100 magazines and newspapers are led by an editorial staff and a publisher who are controlled by one of the major media groups. So the final mathamatical deduction results in less than 100 people controlling the world media, that control the world corporations, that control the world governments, that control the entire population of the planet.

This equation is essentially the simplest way I know of to define the extremely powerful minority, who now rule over the extreme majority of people throughout the world. My theory is based on my basic math skills, people with greater mathematical skills could fine tune this formula, but I doubt the overall difference would vary too much and the results would reveal what the people of the world should already know. Too much control over this planet and our lives is held in too few hands and we of the extreme majority must understand our collective power to see through the great veil of deception and denial put upon us by the very few who comprise the extreme minority. We must take back the individual and collective control of our lives, which would render the all powerful minority completely powerless.

The Radical Soul

4/9/05

Something makes a Radical radical. I haven’t quite identified that certain attribute or detriment to the radical character yet. As I keep seeing more and more injustice and abuse of power, starving, crippled, homeless misery of billions of people around the planet, I get angry and agitated and feel the need to do something about all of it, or at least some of it.

I have discovered that it is a whisper from the soul that stirs me; that silent surge of emotion that creates a tear, or angers me enough to swear at the television news commentator or videotaped sound bites by George W. or Tom Delay, Bill Frist , John Kerry, Joe Lieberman and virtually every American politician. I think Radicals are born not made. I think a Radical has always been radical in his world view. He or she cannot accept things that aren’t just, or are hurtful to man or beast. A Radical can be stupid or smart, organized or disorganized, focused or unfocused. I once thought that most Radicals were violent, but I later learned that very few of the most effective radicals were violent, and actually promoted non violence.

I believe that all people are born Radicals, men and women refusing to bend to the will of nature, or suffer the indignity of physical and mental torture. A Radical is anyone who will fight back against anything that they deem is a wrong against them or others. I think as radically as everyone else does. I weigh my options, or interests and my willingness to become more radical. Will I go to the courts, will I write letters, or will I storm the capital buildings? I am trying to decide just how radically radical I really am. So far I think I’m like everyone else who is just waiting for their soul’s whisper to turn into a shout and a scream until we can no longer sit still, and the scale of weights is breaking under the weight of injustice, and the foul stench of corporate and government corruption and incompetence becomes too foul to tolerate any more.

“If the injustice has a spring, or a pulley, or a rope, or a crank, exclusively for itself, then perhaps you may consider whether the remedy will not be worse than the evil; but if it is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say break the law. Let your life be counter friction to stop the machine. What I have to do is to see, at any rate, that I do not lend myself to the wrong which I condemn.” Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience.

I’m glad I skipped my Catechism Classes

4/2/05

I think it was my first mortal sin according to the rules laid out by the Catholic Church when I questioned why I would go to Hell if I didn’t go to catechism class. I remember asking that question to old Father Bouchard who tried to scare me into sitting in my seat with the threat of eternal damnation. As a six year old boy the thought of eternal damnation sounded more promising than having to sit through an hour long class with a bad tempered, old priest. I remember the older girls in the front row of the class turned around towards me in fright for my soul and put their index finger over their mouths and said “SHHHHH you don’t want to go to hell do you?” I didn’t know where hell was so I didn’t care all that much until the old priest insisted that he tell me.

“Hell is where your soul burns forever!! Hell is where you go when you are bad and wicked. Hell is where all bad people go when they die. Hell is where you are going if you don’t sit down in your seat and be quiet for the rest of this class!” I recall it didn’t sound like a fun place to go to but for some reason I felt that if Hell is where bad people go then how did he know where it was? I never once saw him smile. My father would threaten me with a visit to Father Bouchard when I got out of hand. He would scare us with talk of devils and hell and pokadoted souls. I remember turning pages in my catechism and seeing illustrations of the devil as a frightening evil looking demon that had a caption that said “GRRRR, I WANT YOUR SOUL!!” It was a great comic book. It had pages with pictures of three torsos one said Original Sin and had a little black spot in the center of the torso, the second had black pokadots all over it and it said Venial Sins and the third torso was all black and it said Mortal Sin. I remember thinking how strange it was that if you did one mortal sin like swearing or stealing or not going to church on Sunday then your soul would be all black just by doing one mortal sin. And I thought how can anyone tell if you did more than one mortal sin if your soul turns black after just one sin. It didn’t make much sense to me then and makes no sense to me now.

I can remember trying to figure out how stealing a stick of bubble gum could make my soul as black as if I killed someone, or if I didn’t go to church on Sunday or didn’t obey some other commandment. I asked my father when I went home “How come if I killed someone its the same as stealing some bubble gum?” My father didn’t understand the question so I told him that the Father Bouchard said that when you commit a mortal sin your soul is black and breaking any of the Ten Commandments was a mortal sin so if I kill someone or steal a bubble gum I go to hell. My father explained that I could go to confession and get my sin removed by the priest then I’d have a white soul again. This still didn’t make much sense to me but, as long as I confessed to my sin to a priest, then I would have a white soul again. I was force fed this Catholic craziness until I was eighteen years old and by then I was convinced that Catholics were completely out of their minds.

So I’m sorry for all the Catholics who feel that Christ died again because Pope John Paul the 2nd has passed away. There are one billion Catholics on their knees praying for his soul, when they should be praying for their own,and four million viewers expected to pass by the Pope’s coffin. Why, so they can clean their pokadoted souls or because they have been so scared by the Father Bouchards of the world that they will never be able to think for themselves, or do they just feel good to be one of the great flock of sheep, thinking that their Shepard had a clean soul and went to Heaven.

A Tear for Terri

3/29/05

I feel saddened by the Terri Shiavo story. In all this public outcry from the right and left Terri Shiavo is forced to die without dignity. She can obviously not live with dignity. Did she want to be the poster girl for euthanasia? Did she want the Republican epitome of corruption Tom Delay coming to her defense to keep her on a feeding tube? Did she really want baby Bush to leave his vacation in Crawford to come to her aid ? I don’t think so.

“Opinions are like assholes everybody has one” I saw this on a tee shirt once and thought it was appropriate. I have as much knowledge into the Terri Shiavo case as most who have been interested in this story, but I have no right to intervene in the decision or even attempt to sway anyone toward one side or the other. This is an extremely personal decision placed upon the custodian of Terri Shiavo’s life.

I have asked my own conscience if I would want to be left alive in a vegetative state, dependent upon someone daily to wash me and empty a urine and colon bag three or four times a day and feed me with a feeding tube until the insurance company or Medicare or whoever and whatever decided I wasn’t worth keeping alive anymore. I had to answer NO. What possible purpose could there be for me to want to delay my inevitable death. I would want to end such a pathetic existence. If I was dying from an incurable disease, with no possible way of expressing myself other than a few involuntary bodily functions, I would be most anxious to leave such a life and I would be totally embarrassed and mortified at the thought of ever insisting that some assigned guardian have to make the decision for me. Just the thought of possibly being under the guardianship of some sanctimonious, born again, moron insisting that my agony be prolonged, or that I should die a painful death by starvation and thirst because it is God’s way, or having the President and the entire U.S Congress intervene in the decision to extend my wretched existence indefinitely is beyond my comprehension.

I would wish for a quick death. I would wish for a painless death. I wish for immortality so I may never know death but the last thing anyone in their right mind could wish for is a painful and prolonged death. No loving spouse or family member or merciful judge could ever condone such a death. The passion of Christ didn’t mean that we have to all be scourged and crucified or suffer great pain at death. Those who have read the life of Christ know that he wanted his death to be as it was.

I am not Christ and as far a I can tell no one else on earth is either; not the dying pope, nor the wealthiest evangelist and definitely not (though many of his moronic followers want to believe he is) G.W. Bush. The Terri Shiavo story is a sad and disdainful episode that has incensed the American consciousness. It has become a magnifying glass clouded by a tear upon the true collective soul of the American people.

Illusions

3/23/05

I am a great admirer of Ralph Waldo Emerson and have been for many years. His wisdom has led me to many revelations. I have recently re-read his essay on Illusions and I began to recognize some of my own. I have built up a myriad of illusions throughout my life. Some self imposed and others imposed upon me by parents, teachers, government, media etc. etc. But of all the illusions I have created and have had created for me the most fundamental of all illusions has been to place too much trust in others , having faith that they know more than I know or will ever know. For some things such as Einstein’s theories I will trust the scientists and physicists to question. For surgery I will trust a surgeon of good reputation, but for all else I can trust very few to accept their theories of selfhood, government, religion, historic fact or ethics. These are ethereal areas of knowledge which are areas where most people must think for themselves yet this is where they create the greatest illusions, illusions which are most difficult to unmask because they have been part of an individual’s self image and teachings since childhood, identifiers of self such as one’s name or religion or country or ethnicity. One’s parents or grandparents or the school we go to or university we graduate from, or what a person does for a living. These are the false illusions built up over time to hide the individual from himself and others. The false status of any of these illusion makers create for those who cannot or will not think for themselves, a convenient illusion, a mask of self worth to hide a shallow reality.

“A man’s illusion is his sport.” “Life will show you masks that are worth all your carnivals… Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the lost honesty and truth….Simple childhood virtues of veracity and honesty are the roots of all that is sublime in character- speak as you think, be what you are, pay your debts of all kinds…” R.W.Emerson.

American’s have lost this noble virtue of speaking our minds. We have lost the tenacity, and veracity and courage to fight for our own dignity. Americans teach their children to be silent before erring authority or they will be punished by suspension or receive punishment of some other kind.” Be silent and stupid like me” say their parents, who numb the pain of their silence with antidepressants, alcohol, or a false illusion of Jesus. We learn to create even greater illusions than our parents and grandparents do. But be silent. Say nothing. Join the chorus if you want to sing. Join the band if you want to make noise. Join the football team if you want to express aggression. Become a parrot of a politician if you wish to be heard, or apprentice to the World Bank or a fortune 500 company if you want to learn the legal methods of corruption and bribing governments. Become a Democrat or Republican if you must not, Will Not, think for yourself, because your thoughts are invalid, unclean, undisciplined, your thoughts are underdeveloped as are those of your parents. Only the highly learned teachers, priests and preachers can teach us of God and the universe and creation. The churches say God does not want their followers to question him or his priests, popes or prophets, we must think about nothing but our work and our obedience to authority. This is the only way to live properly and be allowed to enter heaven upon one’s death. So you must love your president though he steals from you and sends you to your death in war or sells you and your children into financial slavery for the duration of your lives. .Love your father and mother though they beat you and starve you and abandon you. Love everyone who defiles you, lies to you, cheats you, rapes you, attempts to kill you. Give your heart and soul to the Church that molests you or your children. Trust all who represent the great evil which resides on earth listen and obey them who ask for your life, your money, your trust, your eternal soul, for this is the way to peace on earth and the promise of heaven.

Emerson states, ” Every moment, new changes, new showers of deception, to baffle and distant him. And when , by and by, for an instant the air clears, and clouds lift a little, there are the gods still sitting around the their thrones- they alone with him alone.” “Everyone fixes their fortune in absolute nature.”

Have Americans fixed their fortunes in absolute nature or in absolute folly, absolute deception, and absolute hypocrisy? Illusions built upon delusions designed to deceive ourselves and others. All must break the glass walls that imprison them and shout against evil and injustices, the horrors created by madmen and monstrous institutions. Shout out against the hypocrisy that surrounds you. Demand honesty and integrity in all institutions, friends and family, never fear the wrath of God or man, when you demand truth and embrace reality.

There is more to fear from the Left than the Right

3/21/05
In a recent conversation with journalist and human rights watcher Keith Harmon Snow he enlightened me to the fact that Hotel Rwanda is a fake, untrue, and a total manipulation by the CIA to deter the American Left away from the actual involvement of the U.S. in the events in Rwanda during the ’90s. Keith has informed me that the Right and the CIA have been manipulating the left about the U.S. role in all areas of the world.

Is it any wonder why the American media circus has nominated this movie for so many awards. I and several of my more curious friends have been wondering about the sudden venting by all these liberal movies, books, etc and felt it odd how such a tight terror paranoid administration would allow the ranting of Michael Moore, or the patriotic movie industry or the New York Times or Newsweek etc. to promote these programs and create controversies. (Ah, create controversy) What have G.W and his boys been doing since they got into office? CREATE CONTROVERSY WITH THE LEFT.

Keith told me that the U.N never considered the killings in Rwanda and these areas as genocide. The main character of the film was never an employee of the Hotel. He was made up. This was verified by Keith when he questioned the employees in Rwanda and other people who witness the war. Sounds like another Jessica Lynch story to me. The only difference was this movie got the attention of the dizzy left who were still hung over from the fraudulent election of G.W and the cowardly concession of John Kerry. The Right and the Bush bastards are playing heavy games with the Left and many in the left movements are traitors and instigators and plants by the FBI. Move on .org is the mother of them all. Now supporting the war efforts, now supporting the Democratic agenda of roll over and get paid off. Jeff Gannon plays both ways. It’s a game people. A hardball game of dumb down America, keep the left infiltrated and of balance. Keep them honoring Michael Moore and Move on .org and ACT the latest idiot group is John Kerry’s grassroots movement formerly headed by Howard Dean. Let the real left, the real liberal, the honest liberal the honest conservative the honest American, wake up and realize we are being herded like sheep. Please refer to my archived article: HOWARD DEAN THE JUDAS GOAT.

Please go to Keith’s link on my link section allthingspass.com. On April 16, 2005 the L.A. Steel Show will be sponsoring a talk by Keith in Salisbury Connecticut. The time will be 12:30am at the Salisbury Library on Rte 44 (Main Street) Salisbury, Ct. For information to attend please contact me at this site or lasteeltv@yahoo.com. Admission is free, donations suggested. Keith will be returning to the Congo and to the Darfur Region the following week and we will be actively promoting the event in several mediums TV, Radio, newspapers, flyers and internet.

For those who cannot attend the event I will be offering audio and video tapes or DVDs of the event on this site. I will keep you posted as to their availability. Please look at Keith’s website regarding his great work and help him financially if you possibly can to help fund his further investigations into the conflict in Darfur and the surrounding regions.

Big Hat no Cattle

3/18/05

I’ve known too many SOBs in my life, so I feel qualified to describe the one trait that makes a person worth knowing.

Integrity is the only characteristic worth mentioning. If a man or woman doesn’t have integrity I don’t want to know them or I’m damned sorry that I’ve met them. I’ve had bastards look me in the eye and lie to get my vote, sell me a car or a house or an insurance policy or investment. But the biggest lying SOB has got to to be a news anchorman or women.

These actor / liars are the bane of western society and more than likely all civilized societies with televised news coverage. The morning news, afternoon news, evening news and late news are all lies, hype, and hypocrisy. Recent polls prove that 50 percent of the American public are totally uninformed or ill-informed of the most important issues facing America today.

51 percent of Americans believe that Saddam Hussein caused 911. This is outrageous! This is the same number that supposedly voted Bush into office the first and second time. So all hail the idiot American and the lying media walking together in love and hand in hand. The more grease Americans ingest in their news and food the happier they are being fat, dumb and happy.

Are you blogged up in the Blogosphere?

3/16/05

I have become painfully aware in recent years of the mad escalation of blogs on the internet. I admit I had one at one time but became annoyed at the look and limitations of the format. The constant scrolling down or up and not being able to print just one article and the intrusionary aspect of the blog where giant Google is spying on everyone and offering the blog free to the blogger but then puts unwanted ads on the overhead banner unless you pay for the privilege of no ads.

Blogging is fun and blogging is cool and blogging is great if you can design your own. But the cost and knowledge needed to design and control your own blog just isn’t worth it. I found it far worthwhile to have a website, though I depend on Rob my web designer for the details and help when things go wrong but once he has designed the site it is virtually up to me to keep it running and input articles and so on. So if you’re spending money now on a blog think seriously about getting or designing a website with pages and print features and with all the great features you need and want.

I recently had a guest on my radio show who has a blog and I wondered why with all his knowledge in software and his diverse needs and interests he still used the blog instead of designing his own website which he was capable of doing. Maybe I’m just obsessive when it comes to stuff like that. I’m over six feet tall and I cannot drive in a small subcompact car for any length of time without becoming cramped and extremely uncomfortable so I own a larger car. Oddly enough it gets decent gas mileage and is very dependable and allots me a great degree of comfort when I drive. Why should anyone willingly cramp his or her style and comfort when driving on the highway or when publishing on the net. There are many options open to you, why clutter up your work and annoy the hell out of your readers with lines and gizmos and colored text when for the same price or even less you can have a working website.

I’m not bragging or mean to incite envy or anger nor are my intentions to demean anyone’s blog, I am simply stating that for the sake of art and displaying ones work in the best possible light one should really consider a website and a website designer to help you out. The best designer I’ve ever met is the guy who designed this site. Rob Brenckman. You can get hold of Rob at robbrenckman.com or go to my link section on this site and click on to his site. He’s a busy man so please give him a day or so to get back to you it will be well worth your while. Tell him that you got his name and number from me and you really admire his work and he might get back to you quicker.

My admiration goes to the many brave bloggers who have eclipsed the main stream news media and have begun a new American Revolution. The spirit of American patriotism is alive and well in the new breed of American journalists, also in the millions of concerned citizens and unwavering activists, who publish their investigations and discoveries in the Blogosphere and communicate by emails and instant messaging, and refuse to surrender to the ignorance of their critics or the indifference of cynics, when exposing crimes and cover-ups and bringing to print important yet unreported news or organizing mass rallies. Citizen journalists are the future of national and international journalism and a free and informed citizenry. Citizen activists are the stewards of freedom and democracy. They are the truth seekers, who believe that their work can make a major difference in the world.

Barking at the Wind

3/9/05

I was walking my dog last night after dinner when an arctic wind began to gust and roar through the neighborhood. My dog got angry at the sound and the cold blasts of air and growled, then he began to bark at the wind. As his bark got louder I laughed at the thought of how alike he and I were. I realized that my efforts were similar to those of my noble, but foolish dog . I stand defiant against the power and madness of the U.S. Government, just as he stands defiant against the gusting wind.

It is within the experience of rational men and women to wish for change even pray for change that would benefit mankind. It is within the realm of practical possibility that a people and their government can change their minds though immersed in war and slaughter, to embrace peace and benevolent social change. It is reasonable for a man to so bitterly resent the abuses of his government’s power and fear the destruction of his country, that he may instinctively growl and express his anger in verbal defiance against the winds of destruction that carry with them the roar of hatred and madness.

Ah, but my dog didn’t care about the philosophical parallel to his master’s actions. He was expressing his anger at being so rudely interrupted by the cold blast of air. After several more loud barks he paused for a moment or two then growled his final warning to the wind, but the wind remained bitter cold and continued to roar ignoring his protest. It was then when he quickly decided that it was far more important to tend to his immediate business, than to spend any more time barking at the wind.

A Word to the Brain Dead

SPIRITS OF IMBECILES RE- INCARNATED FOR THEIR FINAL WALK ON EARTH TO BRING ABOUT THE FINAL DESTRUCTION OF MANKIND!

Now I wish to speak to the calm and rational intelligent person. IF YOU ARE INTELLIGENT , HOW THE HELL CAN YOU BE CALM AND RATIONAL OR INDIFFERENT TO WHAT IS GOING ON! DO YOU LIKE THE STENCH OF BUSH SHIT? DO YOU ENJOY BEING CONSIDERED AN IDIOT BY OTHER MORE CIVILIZED AND INTELLIGENT PEOPLE OF OTHER COUNTRIES? OR ARE YOU SOLD ON THE BUSH SHIT THAT AMERICA IS THE NUMBER ONE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD AND YOU ARE TOO ABSORBED IN WATCHING THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST OR AMERICAN IDOL , FOX NEWS OR QUEER EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT GUY AND FEAR FACTOR TO SEE THE BUSH SHIT PILING UP OUTSIDE YOUR WINDOW!

There is hope for all of us. Yes that hope does exist if every American can stay off the Prozac, Paxil, testosterone, pot, pills liquor and Viagra long enough to sample the world sober for a day. I know it’s hard to look out that window, but listen the Bush shit is piling up pretty high and it smells like hell. If you don’t take care of it the rest of the global neighborhood will and they might evict us from this over mortgaged house of ours, since the Asian and European countries are holding our mortgages and can’t allow such neglectful abuse of their collateral.

Going International

3/2/05

I would like to thank my international readers for their interest. It is encouraging for me to know that my work has struck a universal chord with Asian and European audiences, who have accounted for thousands of hits on this site just in the last month.

If Americans were more gracious to their global brothers and sisters, we might be able to totally negate the Bush barbarism that frightens most of the world and half of the U.S population. Enough individuals bridging the cultural and nationalistic gap between the U.S and the rest of the world would render G.W. Bush totally moot and impotent. As an American disgusted by his government’s domestic and foreign policies I am compelled as are all the people throughout the world, to suffer the crude statements and barbaric atrocities of the Bush Administration. We rational Americans, and there are many of us, have done all we could except for an all out revolution, to rid our nation of George W. Bush and his contemptible minions.

As a symbol of my good faith to all my global readers, I ask that you contact me if you are interested in promoting a global conversation. I would be honored to present your emails or articles on this website and on my radio and television programs. I would only publish or announce your name with your permission or you may send your messages or articles to me anonymously.

As for my North American readers, I am honored that you remain interested in my articles and opinions and I thank you sincerely. In the days ahead I hope to have my radio show broadcasted daily on this website and archives many of my best television and radio interviews. As of this week I am celebrating my second full year on radio. This is also my sixth year on television, producing a weekly series.

I have aggressively sought out unique newsmakers and individuals with ideas that are controversial, liberal and free thinking, artists, musicians, politicians, actors, authors and activists from all over the United States and some from Europe. An international conversation discussing all these areas of interest would be a remarkable way to bridge the world to a liberal American audience.

I thank all my readers for your interest and urge all of you to feel free to contact me, as many of you have. Also please use the forum. I has several new articles I’m working on and will be posting in the next few days. I have expanded my links section and will continue to add more, I hope you use them. Also please do not be afraid to vote in my polls, even if you are not a citizen. I intend to internationalize my polling questions soon. If you have any suggestions please send them to me. Remember, unlike the Bush Kerry election your vote will count and unlike American congressmen and senators, I will answer your emails and consider your suggestions.

The Re-Declaratiion of American Independence

2/23/05

PREAMBLE: It has always taken just one person to get angry enough to either change himself or change the situation that angers him. First he must rationally identify what needs changing. He must reconcile through reason and research, that the anger he feels is either personal or universal in nature. Is his anger brought on by a personal vendetta or jealousy or conceit, a personal affront or criticism? Is the anger petty or is it a grievance against a universal injustice or a tyrannical government. The inspiration of this article and the editing of this famous document was brought about by my compelling need to expose the tyrannical rulers who now rule over the people of United States. Once a great, liberal, generous and, courageous people , have seemingly been replaced by a cruel, selfish, wrong minded and sheepish citizenry. I was compelled to publish this article and edit this historical American document with the belief that Mr. Jefferson, its author, would not mind my taking editorial license to update his attack against tyranny, that now threatens his country from within, 230 years after he first published the Declaration of Independence. I felt that he would be most concerned and repulsed by the prevailing tyranny, oppression, wickedness, and ignorance, of the people he once had great faith in. He would be appalled at their acceptance of a President who desired world domination by suspension of human rights at home, mass murder ,torture, imprisonment, genocide, the promotion of the financial enslavement and conspiratorial ruin of the American people, through his encouragement of the piracy of national and international banks and corporations and the outright sale of American debt to foreign countries to further enslave future generations of Americans to pay for his militaristic madness. I believe Mr. Jefferson would have supported the individual’s moral and divine right, to reclaim his own dignity and integrity and that of his country, by condemning those who commit these atrocities against all free people and patriots. I believe that he would do all within his power to change the defiled government that currently threatens all he and his fellow patriots suffered and died for. After much research into his works and letters, I am certain that he would also condemn this current Congress for its corruption and cowardice and demand the removal of George W. Bush and his GOP and Democratic congressional co-conspirators from office. Mr. Jefferson might have even insisted that George W. Bush and his be tried for high treason and imprisoned for life or executed for their high crimes against the people of United States. If we as a people do not recognize that our responsibility of citizenship is to value our historical and present sacrifices for freedom against tyranny, as Mr. Jefferson and his fellow American patriots did, then we are doomed to be enslaved by the tyranny of cynical and wicked rulers. We have no other choice but to change our government and charge and convict King George W. Bush and his co-conspirators of treason,. and in so doing we protect and defend the divine legacy of freedom and liberty fought for and defended by those free and determined patriots, who have preserved the purest vision of the greatest country on earth.______L.A. STEEL NOTE: (The words, sentences or paragraphs in parentheses are the edited text of the original document. Certain words and some paragraphs have been omitted due to their original attack against the British King, grievances directed at the King with a 230 year old reference and relevance however, the vast majority of the text and format have not been edited and Mr. Jefferson’s words are as relevant and piercing today against the tyranny of George W. Bush as they were against King George the III.)

The Re-Declaration of American Independence

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to disolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain inherent and unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form as to them seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light transient causes, and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations begun at a distinguished period and pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty to throw off such government and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these (people); and such is now the necessity which constrains them to expunge their former systems of government. The history of the present King of The United States G.W. Bush is a history of unremitting injuries and usurpations among which appears not solitary fact to contradict the uniform tenor of the rest, but all have in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world for a truth of which we pledge a faith yet unsullied by falsehood.

He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the Legislature (or be a GOP contributor) a right inestimable to them, and formidable to tyrants only.

He has (ignored) representative houses repeatedly and continually for apposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He ( and the GOP) has refused for a long time after such (incidences) to cause others to be elected, whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise, the State remaining, in the meantime, exposed to all dangers of invasion from without and convulsions within.

He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners, refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, (While promoting the opening of southern borders for the massive influx of illegal aliens and offering amnesty to all who are now in this country illegally.)raising the conditions of new propriations of the lands. (Propriations for welfare and Social Security entitlements, and the untolled damage, to life and property of the southwestern legal citizenry of the United States.)

He has suffered the administration of justice totally to cease in some these States refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.

He has made our judges dependent on his will alone for the tenure of their offices.

He has erected a multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms of new officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us in times of peace standing armies and ships of war without the consent of (the people). ( He has deceived the people by threats of mass annihilation from weapons of mass destruction, and manufactured false intelligence and lies accusing weak , foreign nations of threatening this country.)

He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to civil power.(Plundering our Treasury to enrich war profiteers, who are his friends and family members and heads of foreign countries as well as close friends to his top advisors and their business partners.)

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitutions and unacknowledged by our laws, giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation for quartering large bodies of armed troops among us; for protecting them by a mock trial from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states; (or other countries)for cutting off our trade with parts of the world; for imposing taxes on us without our consent; for depriving us of the benefits of trial by jury; for transporting us beyond seas to be(tortured) and tried for pretended offences; for abolishing the system of (Federal laws by ignoring the laws of The Equal Voting Protection Act of 1965 and not demanding fair and standardized elections and allowing for the violation and disenfranchisement of millions of minority voters and other voters of opposing political parties.)

He has plundered (other) nations and their seas, ravaged (their) coasts, burnt (their) towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.( and theirs)

He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy unworthy the head of a civilized nation.

He has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating the most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him. Captivating and carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation ( and torture) hither. This piratical warfare, the opprobrium of INFIDEL powers, is the warfare of the CHRISTIAN KING of the (United States). Determined to keep open a market where men should be bought and sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain his execrable commerce. And that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in arms among us, and to purchase the liberty of which he has deprived them, by murdering the people of whom he also obtruded them: thus paying off former crimes committed against the liberties of one people with crimes which he urges them to commit against the lives of another.

In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injuries.

A Prince (President) whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of a free people who mean to be free. Future ages will scarcely believe that the hardiness of one man adventured, within the short compass of (four years) only, to lay a foundation so broad and so undisguised for tyranny over a people fostered and fixed in principles of freedom……

(I )therefore (as a naturalized citizen of the United States, ) do appeal to the supreme judge of the world for the rectitude of ( my) intentions, do in the name and by the authority of ( the ideals, honor and courage of the founding fathers of the United States of America,) solemnly publish and declare, that ( I and the people of these United States) are, and of right ought be free and independent( of the authority and administration of G.W.Bush . I believe that the honor and dignity of this country must be preserved and the government must be cleansed of all traces of corruption and tyranny. I) am absolved from all allegiance to (G.W.Bush his authority and all members of his administration. ) All political connection between (myself and George. W. BUSH) is and ought to be, totally dissolved; and that as (a) free and independent (citizen, I) have full power to (stop) war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which free and independent (people) may of right do.

And for the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

The American Patriot Party

2/18/05

I’ve given this idea a lot of thought and perhaps more than it merits but I was watching the movie LUTHER the other day and realized, that if what he did caused the complete reformation of the Christian religion and breakup of the Catholic Church, then what I am about to propose at least merits some attention.

Those who have read my articles and have kept abreast of my current thoughts should not be too surprised by this statement. AMERICA NEEDS A REAL POLITICAL PARTY! You may think “oh no L.A has gone off his nut” and you might be right. But nothing revolutionary has ever been accomplished by rational, impassionate or inactive people.

What is a revolutionary thought, word or action? It has become almost ludicrous to think in any other terms today, when you see every country but the U.S changing governments either in a coup, or free election. Small nations and free countries are arming themselves to defend their people and property from Bush’s aggressive and imperialistic foreign policy. Are Americans so apathetic and sated that they no longer care what their leaders are doing? They are destroying our economic and physical safety with global conspiracies, mad ambitions of world domination and suspension of all freedoms and human rights. American Patriots must unite in spite of their conservative or liberal convictions to restrain and stop the great divide that is tearing apart our nation into a hell of civil war. This mad idea of a new party made up of real patriots,” A person who, loves, supports and defends his or her country and its interests with devotion. “(Webster’s Dictionary) is the only viable method of restoring the dignity and integrity of the people and the ideals of the United States.

I’m running out of hatred

2/15/05

I woke up this morning with a sense of loss and emptiness that I couldn’t understand until now at this writing. It became apparent to me after listening to Rush Limbaugh for five minutes today, that my sick and empty feeling was caused by my utter contempt of what the Democrats and Republicans did in the last election. My rage and contempt was rooted much deeper than I had originally thought , it was in the center of my soul, that place that the Christian right so wrongfully claim as their hallowed and sacred ground. That place that a true patriot knows well and frequents often. That center of conscience that identifies the wicked from the godly. Thoughts of war , death, fear, corruption and cynicism veil our center soul, until we become lost and mad with anxiety, eager to accept fate or a fool as our guide.

I realized today that my outrage was more of a cover-up for my total sense of helplessness in the struggle between good and wicked politics. I have been rendered powerless except for my motor skills in combating the wickedness that has invaded my government. Since the Democratic concession of two fraudulent elections I have come to realize that I no longer have even the simplest democratic freedom left, the right to a free and fair election and the assurance that my solitary vote will even be counted.

So today I have replaced my hatred for the Democrats and Republicans with repulsion and pity, the way one looks at a dead man who betrayed everyone he knew and died from his own reckless excesses and is mourned by no one. I no longer fear or hate Bush or the Republicans. I only fear that subconsciously my healthy rage has turned into a sick indifference and that I will care less and less about the world and people around me, until I become like they who I once so abhorrently despised.

Can you feel the wind of change?

2/14/05

A cold arctic wind has been teasing the northern and New England states this winter. First it came blasting in from Canada for more than a week in December and subsided for a short while in January then came back again with a vengeance to keep Winter’s prisoners on guard and vigilant. Perhaps it’s just my blue state imagination but it seems to get coldest just when Bush announces another cockeyed plan or gives another dyslectic speech and New England loses another military base or Defense contract. If I were more suspicious, I would suspect the Whitehouse boys of playing a little political football with the millions of citizens in the states that didn’t vote for Dubya.

Oh, you might think that the great Connecticut Senators Lieberworm and Dudd (both Democrat) and the greater Senators Teddy Kennedy and John(F)Kerry would be most upset and fighting mad (reflecting the rage of their constituents) but no, instead they are happily complacent in their happy jobs, accepting no calls to their offices or giving no replies to inquiries from their constituents. They don’t have to worry until 2006 when they need our vote.

Did anyone see good ole Dubya kiss Lieberworm on the mouth ,at the State of the Union Address? Does anyone remember Sen. Chris Dudd of Connecticut holding the bible for G.W’s first inauguration, and recently we witness him grinning from ear to ear on the presidential platform in 2005. I watched Dudd a year ago on a CSPAN televised ceremony, celebrating DAN QUAYLE as a great former Vice President. Sen.Dudd was standing around shaking hands with Dick Cheney and G.H W. Bush. The Connecticut Republican Party has never supported anyone (except convicted pedophile Mayor Phil Giordano in 2000) to run against Lieberworm or Dudd , because they already have these two Democrats in their pockets. Two New England Democratic Senators who are more worthy of the Republican of the Year Award than Dennis Hastert or Bill Frist.

The cold arctic wind seems to be coming down again from Canada ( a country ruled by its Liberal Party) and the Almanac says it might stay with us through March. But I suspect it will get warm again by June or July when the Northern Blue State Patriots, begin to wake from their long hibernation and welcome back the heat of revolution.

DNC (Demented National Clown) Dean

2/12/05

Let us all hail the new DNC chairman the undisputed leader of the Demented National Clowns. Yes, I so hope he can revive the great party of national clowns who so sadly lost their little car in the three ring circus farce they called a national election.

Now the organization of Demented National Clowns (DNC) have elected a new and mighty clown. He is DR. DEAN . He has the unique ability to scream on stage like no other clown ever has and his clownish presence promotes all the best of clowns. His happy boy like grin, his ratty old suits, his pudgy little belly and of course his height is a natural comedic gift.

The entertainment starved Americans can hardly wait to see the marvelous antics of DR.DEAN when he brings with him on his national appearances the famous DEANIE BABIES. There signature song will be ” Dr. Dean the DNC King” (Send him a check and listen to him scream.)

It is simply amazing how delusional the DNC really is to think that any rational thinking American would give a dime to them after what they did in 2004. THE DEMENTED NATIONAL CLOWNS have done well by selecting Dr.Demento as their leader. He and his other clowns will insure that all American elections are three ring circuses and then maybe they can get their little car back once the elephant is finished stepping on it.

It’s 666 Time

2/11/05   I’m not generally an alarmist. Most of the time I just look at issues that come to my attention and try to analyze them until they make sense. I try to make sense out of most but in the case of the new national ID card I was thrown for a loop.

According an article written by, Declan McCullough for news.com. “House backs major shift to electronic IDs.” The state DMV databases before issuing drivers licenses will have to include everything about everyone’s driving and criminal history in order to get federal funds to implement the national ID program..”

I can understand some need to have an authentic ID but I carry a valid one now. I have a valid driver’s license with no outstanding violations. But under the Real ID Act just approved by the House, that will not be enough to drive or fly or even cash a check unless all personal information is on the ID with a complete criminal history. Everyone with even minor violations or dismissed cases can be stopped from legally driving a car or leaving the country without clearance from the FBI or some other snoop agency.

I haven’t reviewed the bill yet but what if people are prevented from leaving their state or flying within the country, due to a certain illness or occupation or some minor pot possession or DUI or domestic charge from 20 years ago? What if John Smith’s child molestation charge is suddenly placed on all John Smith IDs because of a computer error? The theft or loss of one’s ID card could result in a permanent identity theft. This system will result in creating either a massive wave of resistance, enough to create an American and international underground economy , or Americans will do what they are prone to doing , bend over and get their national ID implanted in their asses or tattooed in some fashionable way to avoid unsightly or permanent scarring . I can see a future with computer chip implant clinics in every DMV in the country and eventually around the world. 666 is as convenient a name as any to name the micro chip implant of choice.

What Do You Really Remember?

2/10/05

I was thinking about someone recently but after I thought about them for a short while I don’t know why I thought of them in the first place. No it’s not Alzheimer’s I don’t think, I was thinking it just might be a natural curiosity one has towards someone else.

I realized recently that I think too much about the state of affairs in this country and around the world. I think about Katie Couric or Al Roper when I watch the Today Show. I think about how trite and tight everything is on these high price, slick news and entertainment shows and I think about what they are really trying to say to me.

I like the way Katie looks into the camera and smiles like she’s smiling right at you. Then she crosses her legs and interviews someone or laughs and you kind of miss the point of what the hell you’re watching. I watch the BBC News on CPTV and look at the foreign correspondents and the pretty Indian woman who gives the business report (I can’t remember her name) and the English anchor woman and wonder why women seem more authoritive on the morning shows than on the evening news reports. I have difficulty listening to male newscasters in the morning and I really hate listening to the cheery local news anchor and weathermen.

As I think of these women and weathermen I realize that I’m really not listening to a news program for the news though it has its merit, but I find myself thinking of these personalities and their likability or unlikability which makes the news more or less palatable while drinking my first cup of black coffee. By the second cup I’m eating breakfast, with some plane crash survivor, and by the time Donald Trump or one of his fired apprentices is being interviewed by Katie, I’m ready to take the dog out for his second walk.

It’s usually about this time that I realize I’m running a little late because I spent too much time watching these slick morning programs, thinking that it was a worthwhile expenditure of time. I realize only later during the day that I barely remember anything I had watched that morning, except Katie’s smile and Al Roper’s laugh and the pretty Indian woman on the BBC News.

A Thought about Conservatives

2//5/05

In Emerson’s great series of essays, Conduct Of Life, his essay on Fate states this about conservatives: “All conservatives are such from personal defects. They have been effeminated by position or nature, born halt and blind, through luxury of their parents and can only, like invalids, act on the defensive.”

On the grand design of nature and the divine order, Emerson is one of America’s greatest thinkers and most respected writers. His relevance and concepts are absolutely timeless. One can only imagine what he would have to say about the conservative pundits and think tanks of today and if he were alive and writing today what the Conservative media would be saying about him. I’m certain the majority of the media have never read Emerson, just as they have read none of the writings of the great liberal thinkers of our American heritage, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt and so many others.

Ignorance is bliss. That is the motto of most conservatives. They think what their parents thought, or do not think at all, or they think what they are told to think by their government or priest or preacher or teacher without inquiry or investigation as to the origin of fact or fiction. They dread the pains of industry it takes to think for themselves. They prefer to parrot the clichés and actions of the” damned generations” calling them great and noble, these generations of slavery, segregation, monopolies, world wars, massive poverty and imperil tyranny; rather than listen, read and cherish the wisdom of the true sages, who combated the blindness, stupidity and selfishness of dynasties and conservative governments and societies to bring about social reforms under free, liberal governments.

The greatest horror facing America is the possibility of Emerson’s works and the work of other great liberal thinkers becoming banned from schools and purged from the history of the American people. Conservative ignorance got Charles Darwin expelled from grade school science, will Thomas Jefferson be purged from American History classes? Ralph Waldo Emerson already has been expelled, even the brilliant revolutionary works of Christ have been perverted and edited into the ignorant ranting of evangelical cult leaders of the Christian right, who call their followers to a false heaven through the malevolent manipulation of fear and faith. Christ’s teachings are with us because of courageous, far thinking, open minded people who preserved his works and recorded his teachings throughout the Roman persecutions of the early Christians and through the dark ages of barbarians, who burned and plundered all civilizations and made slaves of the conquered people. The extreme consevativism we now face in America is this same barbarism, the same brutal force and ignorance that burns books, humiliates liberal ideals and destroys all dignity in the advancements of mankind, by viewing the world as its enemy, rather than open their closed minds to ideas of peace, compassion and the goal of human and planetary perfection worthy of eternal reward , rather than eternal damnation.

Will Vote for Food

2/2/05

The Iraqis voter was told to vote by the U.S or they would not get their monthly food ration. While American soldiers in tanks and armored vehicles went down street after street in major cities calling to Iraqis on bull horns to get out and vote while the American troops were being shot at by grenade launchers and sniper rifles.

As G.W adjusts his tie and high fives his compliant valet, readying himself for the State of the Union Address, the poor Iraqis who voted on Sunday’s election can rest assured if they survive that they will receive their monthly food ration, which was the U.S. incentive. To brave death by assassination or face death by starvation.

According to Eyewitness Dahr Jamail in Baghdad; Hard News- dahrjamailiraq.com ” Many Iraqis said Monday that their names were marked on a list provided by the government agency that provides monthly food rations before they were allowed to vote.”… Two of the food dealers I know told me personally that our food rations would be withheld if we did not vote.” Said Saed Jailhot a 21 year old engineering student who voted.

Ra’ad, 23 said he saw the man who distributed monthly food rations in his district at his polling station. “The food dealer, who I know personally of course, took my name and those of my family who were voting, he said only then could I get my ballot and was allowed to vote.”

**************************** ” On the roof of a shrapnel pocked building in the ruins of Fallujah, a team of GIs stealthily set up a gray plastic dome about two feet in diameter. Keeping well back from the sight lines of the street and nearby buildings, they plug the cable connectors on the side of the” popper” into a power unit. The grunts have no clue what the device does. They are just following orders.”

“The grunts call the plastic devices poppers or domes. Once activated each hidden transmitter emits a widening circle of invisible energy capable of passing through metal, concrete and human skulls up to half a mile away. “They are saturating the area with ULF, VLF and UHF freqs said Hank (a soldier) with equipment derived from US Navy undersea sonar and communications.

After powering up the unit, the grunts quickly exit the area. It is their commanders fervent hope that any male survivors enraged by brutal American bombardments that damaged virtually every building in this once thriving “City of Mosques”, displacing a quarter million residents while murdering thousands of children , women and elders in their homes will lose all incentive for further resistance and revenge. …. The poppers, are capable of using a combo of … wavelengths in any combination at the same time,…in a process called super heterodyning. The silent frequencies daily sweeping Fallujah and other trouble spots are the same Navy frequencies that drove whales nuts and made them go astray onto beaches.” Source: Rense.com Microwaving Iraq. Pacifying rays pose new hazards in Iraq. By William Thomas. 1/25/05

So as G.W gives his latest rendition of his freedom and liberty speech tossing around Social Security “personalization” instead of “Privatization” we Americans can feel good about what we have accomplished in Iraq, remembering the fallen micro waved thousands and the VOTE FOR FOOD campaign and the valiant recipients of the PURPLE FINGER FOR FREEDOM AWARD, one month’s worth of food rations.

Playing Games with PNAC

2/1/05

For those who may not know there is a nasty little group of neocons in this world who gathered together into a clique and established the Project for the New American Century. This group of megalomaniacs is now in charge of the U.S government. Members included such notables as Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Eliot Cohen, Steve Forbes, Dan Quayle, Paul Wolfowicz, I Lewis Libby (Scooter to his friends) William Bennet, Elliot Abrams, Jeb Bush, William Kristol and the many other not so prominent individuals.

On January 28, 2005 this group of wonder white men sent a letter to Congress entitled ” Letter to Congress on Increasing U.S. Ground Forces” If you wish to read the entire letter please go to www.newamericancentury.org. Please remember while you read this letter that Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowicz are prominent members of this group and have officially denied to the press and the Congress the need for more ground troops in Iraq.

Please indulge me for a paragraph or two of this letter addressed to: “Dear senator Frist, Senator Reid, Speaker Hastert and Representative Pelosi: The United States military is too small for the responsibilities we are asking it to assume. Those responsibilities are real and important. They are not going away. The United States will not and should not become less engaged in the world in the years to come. But our national security, global peace and stability, and the defense and promotion of freedom in the post 911 world require a larger military force than we have today. The administration has unfortunately resisted increasing our ground forces to the size needed to meet today’s (and tomorrow’s) missions and challenges.”

“So we write to ask you and your colleagues in the legislative branch to take steps necessary to increase substantially the size of the active duty Army and Marine Corps. While estimates vary about just how large an increase is required, and Congress will make its own determination as to the size and structure, it is our judgment that we should aim for an increase in the active duty Army and Marine Corps, together, of 25,000 troops each year over the next several years.

“There is abundant evidence that the demands of the ongoing missions in the greater Middle East, along with our continuing defense and alliance commitments elsewhere in the world, are close to exhausting current U.S. ground forces. …”

Ok guys, what the hell is your real game? Did Dickey, Rummy and Wolfy suddenly wake up to the fact that everyone in the world except them knows that the U.S is losing the war in Iraq. Or is the military finally getting pissed off enough and about ready to revolt? It is simply amazing how obvious you boys are and how fucking stupid you think the U.S people are. But maybe you are right. Maybe the American people are the most stupid people on earth, how else could they have re-elected G.W Bush and allowed PNAC to get away with taking over the U.S. Government. So why not send a letter to Congress to ask for more troops and hide Cheney, Rummy and Wolfy’s names, who’s going to know or even care and who the hell is L.A. STEEL anyway?

Reservists Bagged by Bush

2/01/05

The following is a letter from Ms. Rebecca Lawson of West Babylon about her son who was ordered to go to the Bush inauguration and pay his own way. I got this article from one of my favorite news sites www.legitgov.org their 1/29/05 edition. I am reprinting this under the fair use copyright law so my readers will be aware of the real son of bitch who just got sworn in to the office of the Presidency.

“My son is an army reservist and he returned from Iraq last March. He was ordered to attend one of the inauguration parties… A group of five drove down from Long Island to Washington last Monday morning, and they were to return Tuesday evening. Around midnight on Tuesday, my son returned home, looking tired from the drive. The next morning, he told me he didn’t have a good time because they basically stood around and watched the president say a few words. He said there was no food provided for them, so they ate after the event at some fast-food restaurant. They spend all this money for this celebration and can’t feed my son?

He stayed at a local military base with the rest of the group, but they made him pay for the room. Apparently there was a mix-up or they were short a room. I don’t care what the problem was, he was told to go, this was not an option, orders were cut for this excursion! I am disgusted and horrified that he had to even show his wallet for this event…” ______ Rebecca Lawson, West Babylon.

I just hope she and her son didn’t vote for the man.

An Invitation to Hell

1/27/05

(CPAC) is the Conservative Political Action Conference an annual convention of grassroots conservative activists and broadcasters held in February at the Ronald Reagan Building in D.C. To my great surprise I received an invitation to attend the conference and interview some or many of the conservative pundits and political celebrities who will be gathered there. At first I thought the letter was a joke by one of my listeners until I decided to call the media coordinator to confirm my invitation and ask if they were aware that I was a liberal talk show host. She laughed and said, “Yes we knew you were a liberal show but we decided to invite liberal talk show hosts to this convention to raise the level of interest, in fact Al Frankin is going to debate G.Gordon Liddy.” I realized at that moment that either I was being sucked into a dare or that CPAC was openly offering liberals a forum or at least a microphone to hear what we might have to say. (Right.)

I was still a little stunned to find out that my invitation wasn’t a mistake and that I was being given the chance to interview and listen to some of the top pundits and conservative thinkers in the country. WOW, I thought what a great opportunity for a small radio station, liberal talk show host to go toe to toe with some of the greatest blunder heads in the world. I spoke to a few friends and my station manager and all said it was a great opportunity and chance to get some real meaningful discussions with the right and far right. I thought this was a good idea until I looked up the conference agenda.
Novak debates Donaldson. Speakers, Ann Coulter, Mitch McConnell, etc.etc.blah, blah, blah,the list just got worse and worse. Then we celebrate with the Young Americans, and a grand Ronald Reagan Banquet. I was certain I could never survive a minute in that Hell without one of Dante’s divine guides. Then I thought, what the hell was I thinking? Was I for one minute thinking that I could possibly get an interview with anyone of these conservative clones of merit? Me, Mr. Liberal, this is all a grand set up to probably screw me and any other poor sucker liberal talk show host into the woodwork. Not only was the list of attendees less than stellar,(last year they had Dick Cheney), it appeared that the list of conservative pundits and politicos attending this year was dramatically downgraded to C list Celebs and politicians. This was probably why they invited the Liberal media.

I realized that my going to this conference could only result to my decent into a Liberal’s Hell. Three days of droning Christian conservatives praying for G.W.Bush and the rise of a theocratic government in the U.S. would warp my mind into ideas of becoming a suicide bomber. I foresaw my discomfort level rising to levels of unbearable pain and agony tantamount to greater torture than that inflicted on prisoners at Abu Gharib. What a nightmare! I thought of trying to phrase a non insulting question, or trying desperately not to blurt out in anger a scream of WHY! or HOW! Knowing that the answer I received if any would make less sense than my own question as I descended deeper into conservative madness, deeper into Hell, nearing the fiery furnace of the comprehension of Christian Right Wing Conservative Young American Neocon Bushism. AAHHHHH!!!!!

There is much to be said about preaching to the choir, staying within your realm of understanding and not tempt madness. Liberalism is not madness nor is it a disease as so many crackpot, Christian, neocon, nutters like to declare it to be. Liberalism is the reasonable and ultimate method for the ascension of mankind from the Hell of ignorance and the damnation of human extinction. Liberalism is the belief in the best of man; conservatism is the belief in the worst of man. These are the direct meanings from Webster’s Dictionary. Do not let anyone sway you from the truth, mingling with fools can only be tolerated by fools.

An American Exile

1/25/05

“Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, with conquering limbs astride from land to land; here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command the air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.”

“Keep, ancient lands your stories pomp!” Cries she with silent lips.” Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Poet, Emma Lazarus d.1887 “The New Colossus” The poem inscribed on The Statue of Liberty.

There is a growing movement of self exiles in the United States. I know because I am one and have spoken to many other liberals and moderate conservatives who consider themselves cast adrift and disconnected from the new ideals and values of this country. False ideals have replaced pride of achievement of this nation in individual liberty and freedom. Grand ideals of a country that stood noble before the world because of our stable government and the diversity and industry of our population. In shame of error, ignorance and arrogance the United States eventually accepted it’s wrongs and strove to lead the world in the achievement of the ideals of freedom and liberty through the slow, steady, method of debate and committed resolve; but now our leaders are leading us and the world into the acceptance of hypocrisy, militarism and economic and moral bankruptcy.

Wherrre’s Johnny?

1/23/05

I was greatly saddened to hear about the death of a man I never personally knew. But he was my late night baby sitter, and my late night friend who made me laugh right before I went to sleep, saying everything is crazy but we can still laugh about it. Here is a silly joke or here is a pretty actress or a great singer or dancer or comedian. Here is optimism, humor, hope.

Perhaps it is still to soon to determine the effect that his death will have on the mood of this country. I was just getting over the loss of Rodney Dangerfield of a few months ago. The loss of these comic geniuses seems almost an omen of doom. The death of Johnny Carson three days after the inauguration of this country’s worst president, who won a fraudulent election, brought this country into an insane war in Iraq, and completely bankrupted our treasury. A president who has divided the people of this nation with his hatred and stupidity and allowed his crooked friends and corporate cronies to rape the environment, loot pension plans and to plunder the aging, destroy the planet by ignoring national pollution and global warming, sponsoring regime changes that kill millions of helpless victims around the world. Is it any wonder the world is losing its great comedians, there is so little to laugh about anymore and America really needs to laugh again. Where is Johnny?

A Majority of One

1/21/05

I am a majority of one. So is everyone who is rightly committed to justice, freedom, universal law and universal brotherhood. I need no one to convince me of my mission in life or try to deter me from it. I am as great or as insignificant as I think I am. Greatness was never bestowed upon anyone by someone else. I am my own majority and I act according to my own beliefs. I am the President, Congress and the Supreme Court of my own life, determining and creating my own laws expecting to reap their effects, either good or bad. A man or woman can do no other if he or she has truly evolved into a being with an erect stance and a greater intellect than their primal ancestors. We are morally obligated to believe in the divinity of our souls and our mortal and spiritual purpose, if we believe that our creation was inspired by an omnipotent and loving God.

All who stand erect and are steadfast in their beliefs of justice, freedom and universal brotherhood will never bow to tyranny. They will continually fight for the preservation of their own rights and dignity and for the brotherhood of mankind. Anyone with spiritual conscience looks at what is being done by the U.S government and is outraged by its involvement in the slaughter and genocide of millions of innocent victims in the name of freedom and liberty and American ideals. The real reason for conflicts by the U.S government is to benefit corporations who profit greatly by world wars, death and destruction. These soul less corporations thrive by perpetrating and escalating civil wars, military coups, famines, environmental disasters, torture, ,fraudulent elections, contract killings, bribery,assasinations of foreign leaders, spying on citizens, systematically stripping the U.S and other free countries of their freedoms of self government and basic individual rights, quashing all protests with massive arrests of innocent people, who are simply expressing their constitutional rights of free speech and free assembly.

“Action from principle,-the perception and performance of right-changes things and relations; it is essentially revolutionary, and does not consist wholly with anything which was. It not only divides states and churches, it divides families; aye, it divides the individual, separating the diabolical in him from the divine.” Henry David Thoreau/CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE

Lock and Load for the Grand Inauguration

1/20/05

Lock and Load for the grand day of days, the grand show of democratic freedom to rig elections, intimidate our allies, squash all protests, charge $125 dollars a head for a bleacher seat so one can witness the travesty up close. $250,000 dollars to shake hands and kiss the SOB, or $100,000 for the “less intimate” greeting of kneeling and kissing his feet, or for the more kinky Republican and Democrat or just your run of the mill right wing wealthy evangelist can kneel in a prayer position as Bush drops his pants, spreads his cheeks and lets them kiss his ass. I heard this can be done for a $150,000 dollar donation to his personal relief fund which is being administered by Daddy Bush and his adopted son the Democratic Wang banger Bill Clinton.

Oh, the grand sight of the flip and flustered Prez-intent and his grand and glorious speech before the 2000 soldiers he’s recently condemned to die in Iraq. “You have served well but expect to give more” how inspiring this statement must of been, enough perhaps to consider a permanent Canadian residence along with 5500 recent AWOL patriots now living in Canada. Hail! Hail! the incompetent Leader of the free world. Let us close our eyes in disgust and despair as we watch the naked emperor stand before God and the world and make a final mockery of the American Constitution. Let us cheer as Bush masturbates before the crowd of happy hollering Christian perverts who have honored him with their presence and money. Let us give a great halleluiah as a nation that has lost its collective courage. Let us be so proud of our most recent elections and pathetic candidates.

Oh, and let us not forget to pay homage to the mighty Democratic idol of all cowards and corrupt, the right dishonorable John Kerry. Oh can you feel all your senses tingle with extreme discomfort at the mention of his name. You can hardly avoid that gut wrenching feeling deep down in your bowels that are about to explode all over the cynical script of the Bush inaugural address. You dread the time of the broadcast and publication of this grand testi-ment of PR and pathetic speech writing written for the specific purpose of backing up the toilets of millions of American households. I for one do not wish to hear the grand fart of Bush’s foul air, the gaseous garble of the inaugural undress of the naked emperor G.W.Bush. I do not need to see or hear the pathetic cheers of morons who line the parade route to honor a hollow man for his hollow victory. Hail to the grief, Hail to the thief, but I will never dishonor myself or the true fallen patriots of this country by accepting or even witnessing this crime against America, the inauguration of G.W.Bush. I cannot force my eyes to look upon the grand hypocrisy, the shameless sin of G.W.Bush inauguration, without the fear of becoming blind or being struck dead by my own shame and loss of my soul and the soul of my country, this once great nation of the United States of America.

Damned Democrats

1/11/05

Senator Barbara Boxer cannot redeem the Democratic Party by herself which is what she tried to do on 1/6/05. I give her credit for her lonely stand against the great injustice done to the American people in the 2004 election. She displayed the courage expected but rarely exhibited by members of congress by single handedly challenging the Ohio vote count. Her speech unfortunately was followed by the choir of castrati Democratic alter boys. They are the most damnable Democrats. Sen. Harry Reid,Sen.Tom Harkin, Sen.Barack Obama, Sen.Dick Durbin, Sen.Mark Dayton, Sen.Ron Wyden, Sen.Frank Lautenburg and last and least Sen.Chris Dodd and we cannot forget the Queen of hypocrisy Hillary Clinton. All considered though the furthest down in Dante’s Inferno, bound in a frozen lake of voter contempt, is none other than the king of conceding cowards and dribbling political platitudes, the dishonorable John Kerry.

These undistinguished members of the democratically concerned Senate are without doubt the greatest hypocrites of all time. Anyone who witnessed the weak kneed debate of these damned Democrats questioning but not challenging the Ohio voter fraud could not help but become outraged. Not even the great shit head himself John Kerry would challenge the vote. He didn’t even show up. If the candidate himself doesn’t challenge the obvious voter fraud which cost him the election then the only excuse for his concession was that he was supposed to concede and was never supposed to win in the first place. Everyone knew it except those who voted for him. The election was rigged.

This was a scourge on the soul of the nation and will not be forgotten by patriotic Americans and millions of observers throughout the world. The 2004 election was the greatest farce in American history, rivaling the entire theatrical achievements of the Three Stooges. We must recognize that America is no longer a democracy (if it ever was). America is a Plutocracy ruled by corporations and administered by incompetent yes men in congress and in the Presidency. The people no longer have a voice or a representative in their government and will never have unless we rid ourselves of these corporate whores and piss ant politicians.

These damnable Democrats and damned Republicans are one and the same though this apparent fact is ignored by the non partizen,non informing, non-news media. There is no longer an America as we thought it to be. There is only Un America, home of the mindless idol worshipers of the DNC,RNC,NFL,AFL,NBA,ABC, CBS,NBC,FOX,CNN.etc.

Bushism

1/05/05

“There is in a society that rests upon industry the constant danger of Barbarism…” Theodore Roosevelt

The world has endured Feudalism, Communism, Fascism,Racism,Socialism,Stalinism, Catholicism, Protestantism,Zionism,Radicalism,Conservatism, and countless other isms, but now the world must endure the most ominous and globally threatening philosophy of world domination ever conceived and the driving force behind a military and madman that could destroy the entire planet.

The present U.S military industrial complex was created under the false belief by the people of the United States that it would preserve, protect and defend lasting peace and prosperity and defense from our foreign enemies. We have been deceived by corrupt militaristic leaders who have unleashed the most horrific military force never before witnessed on the planet. The great people of the United States are beginning to realize the betrayal of their present government and are now identifying the treasonous cowards in their congress and senate who have cowered to G.W.Bush and oil and defense industry lobbyists.

As the United States spins into economic ruin G.W.Bush and our corrupt and cowardly congress passed a tax bill that gave each voting member of congress a minimum of a $90,000 dollar tax refund,(all members of the house and senate are in the one percent income bracket)while they have decimated our public education system, welfare system, Social Security and Medicare and diverted untolled billions of dollars destroying artificial enemies to distract our attention while they shred the Constitution that protects our sacred rights as a free people.

Millions of Americans have and are protesting this horrid selected and fraudulently elected administration and yet are ignored by the corporate owned and government controlled media and our cowardly, corrupt congress. Our cities and airports have been seized by our military and police who are paid by our tax dollars to surveillance, wiretap and harass each and every citizen based solely upon the agent’s or officer’s individual discretion and judgment as to who they might consider as suspicious.

Our young soldiers have been sent to fight on battlegrounds around the world and must defend themselves from the hatred of United States’ enemies. Those enemies created by the blundering, imperialistic and inept policies of our own incompetent leaders. Our soldiers must try to believe that they are placing their lives in jeopardy for the good of their country while at the same time they know they are only canon fodder for the artillery of the international plutocracy of arms dealers and munitions manufacturers and financiers that create wars to control the world’s economies, or bring into compliance leaders of countries who refuse to allow them to plunder the wealth, pride and natural resources of their country. Our young men and women in the military are asked to face death or torture at the immediate orders of a mad, cowardly, fraudulently elected president who himself went A.W.O.L during his questionable service in the Air National Guard.

The following ten terms and their definitions are direct from Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary. They are being used in this article to identify and define each philosophical, political and psychological concept that influenced and created the most rapidly spreading, universally feared psycho-political, economic plague ever unleashed on the human race.

Dear Mr. Miles

DEAR MR. NILES 12/30/04

Dear Mr. Niles, The American Revolution was not a common event. Its’ effects and consequences have already been awful over a great part of the globe and when and where are they to cease?

But what do we mean by American Revolution? Do we mean the American war? The Revolution was effected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people. A change in their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations.

While the king and all in authority under him, were believed to govern, in justice and mercy according to the laws and Constitution derived to them from God of nature, and transmitted to them by their ancestors. They thought themselves bound to pray for the king and queen and all the royal family and all the authority under them, as Ministries ordained by God for their good.

But when they saw those powers renouncing all the principles of authority and bent upon the destruction of all securities of their lives, liberties and properties, they thought it their duty to pray for the Continental Congress and all thirteen state congresses.

There might be, and were others who thought less about religion and conscience but had certain habitual sentiments of allegiance and loyalty derived from their education, but believing allegiance and protection to be reciprocal, when protection was withdrawn, they thought allegiance was dissolved.

Another alteration was common to all. The people of America had been educated in the habitual affection for England as their Mother-Country; and while they thought her a kind and tender parent (erroneously enough however, for she never was such a mother,)no affection could be more like Lady Macbeth, “to dash their brains out” it is no wonder if their filial affections ceased and were changed into indignation and horror.

This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments and affections of the people, was the real American Revolution…..

Sir your humble servant, John Adams 2/13/1818

Imports a la table

12/20/04

I went to an American store with a French name to return a German made coffee maker. If that wasn’t bad enough, I got the coffee maker as a gift and thought, gee this is great, until I opened the box and discovered a clear plastic coffee maker that might have cost all of five dollars to manufacture. It had a unique design that sucked the coffee upwards into another plastic container and then flushed the coffee back down again. Well, once I had figured out the engineering marvel of assembling the 7 pieces I realized that I had been had.

Yes, HAD. I wasn’t sure how much this machine had cost until I returned it and then I was flabbergasted. Have you ever had that feeling that you and someone you cared deeply for had been royally fucked over. Well I had that feeling at the French named store while returning the German made hundred dollar coffee pot, when the clerk padvised me that since it was a gift I could only receive store credit.

Store Credit!! I retorted there wasn’t a damned thing in that overpriced plastic and paper goods store that I could have wanted. All the other coffee pots in the store were $150 dollars or more and made as cheaply as the one I had just returned. Idiot utensils and tin pans all cheap! Cheap! Cheap crap! I was floored and couldn’t contain my comments. Fortunately for me I was accompanied by a woman who is far more level headed than I am and convinced me not to argue with the management or picket the store.

Howard Dean the Judas Goat 12/3/04

When a herd of sheep are led into a slaughter house they are led by a trained goat aptly named the Judas Goat. This goat leads the sheep into the slaughterhouse and takes a sharp right turn as the sheep continue to follow each other toward the left into holding pens where there throats are cut and they are hoisted upon meat hooks upside down as their blood drains into large containers. Then the sheep are gutted and their entrails collected and sorted. Their hides are skinned from the carcasses and then the carcasses are cleaned and washed down and placed on meat racks and hooks in coolers until they are packaged or shipped whole to retail outlets, where they are cut into palatable pieces by the local butcher and sold to the public.

Howard Dean was the Judas Goat of the American Peace Movement. This mindless robot of the Democratic Party Machine, a Yale Graduate and Skull and Bones wannabe,rich son of a wealthy Republican stock baron. He became a Dr. after he decided stock broking wasn’t his thing. Also medicine and surgery could rationalize his detachment to the human race which served him well in politics. Howard Dean teamed up with Joe Trippi and together they created the Dean Machine to herd the left wing voters away from Ralph Nader and destroy the American Peace Movement. Once Dean and Trippi dropped their pants in Iowa and mooned the world, they created the perfect opportunity to destroy their own candidacy and they did. Kerry and the other faux democratic candidates were all given cue cards and roles to play once the herd of sheep were heading into the doors of the Democratic slaughterhouse. Dean took his right turn and destroyed his own candidacy. But do not feel pity for the Judas Goat, he and his team mate Joe Trippi got 50 million dollars for the betrayal of the Peace Movement and the heart of the American liberal conscience.

The Trippi money machine stole over 90 million dollars for the Dean campaign from the small donations of millions of Americans who hated Bush and the Iraq War. All that was accounted for was 40 million, which at the time of Dean’s concession was more money than any other candidate had spent or received. Trippi paid himself and his advertizing firm over 10 million, and said the rest was paid out in payroll and travel expenses. Under current election laws all money collected by a candidate can be kept by the candidate and spent according to the candidate’s wishes. That Dean internet money machine was then used by John Kerry and even old Joe Lieberworm got into the picture firing his campaign manager early in the campaign because she would not let him take so much money out of the campaign coffers for personal use. He paid his children all six figure salaries while he ran for Prez. knowing he didn’t have a chance in hell of winning but knowing he had a great excuse to be absent from the senate and make 10 million bucks in the process, running around the country shaking hands and kissing babies. Hell I’d do that for 10 million. The honest and real liberals and peacemakers of this country believed in Howard Dean’s words and the possibility of beating Bush in a fair campaign. Dean had no ability but that of a crooked politician. Where is his insane scream now against the vast voter fraud in the 2004 election? Where is the mighty Howard Dean now, the Democrats’ phallic symbol on Viagra? The Judas Goat.

Radio Interview with Dave Von Kleist (Creator of 911 In Plane Site Documentary)

RADIO INTERVIEW WITH DAVE VON KLEIST
For the billions of listeners who missed the show last night, Leila and I had a great interview with Dave Von Kleist producer and host of thepowerhour.com and producer of the video IN PLANE SITE. Dave made an incredible 911 documentary that, without a doubt, is one of the greatest investigative reports this country has ever witnessed. Dave has taken great risk revealing this information accumulated in his documentary. Some of the most damning evidence of the massive 911 conspiracy broadcasted by the mainstream media on 9/11/01, recorded by television screens around the world. Film footage by journalists and reporters who witnessed a far different event on 911 than was later told by the media, then completely ignored and covered up in the 911 Commission Report. The transcript of the interview with Dave will be available on this site in a few days. Please watch for it. L.A. Steel P.S. Thanks for reading this site, as of this writing on 12/1/04, I have 7500 hits.

Thanking Thousands! 12/2/04
I must thank the 6,000 and counting who have hit my website the last two weeks. I am totally blown away by the response. I am going through a mini crisis right now trying to gather my senses while recuperating from an antacid and alka seltzer overdosed holiday. I was trying desperately to put a few articles in the site yesterday and almost succeeded until some demonic system error wiped out the article and ticked me off to the point of self medication. So here is another attempt at thanking everyone who has checked out my site and all who have stuck with me on the television and radio show for the last several years. I can sincerely say you are all very appreciated. In the next few days and weeks many articles and features will begin to appear regularly on this site. Soon we will have a slide show and video gallery as well as archived shows and classic L.A.STEEL PRESENTS programs available only on this site, as well as transcripts and audio archives of some of my best radio show interviews. I am asking all of you to please have patience with this site as I and Rob Brenckman work out the bugs and create for you a totally interactive website extravaganza. I have been amazed that the average visit on this site has lasted at least eight minutes. I can’t tell you how heartening that is to me that everyone is reading and using the poll. I just wish a few of you would use the forum more often but were making that a little more user friendly so bear with us for a while, meanwhile if you would like to contact me please use the contact button on the home page and you can send me your message. Please check out the radio show this week 11/30/04 if you can get it in your area I’ll be interviewing David Von Kleist producer of the IN PLANE SITE video who has recently re released the DVD with more evidence of the 911 cover up. Thank you again for your interest in my work and please continue to check this site out as we make many more improvements Sincerely Yours, L.A.STEEL

NEW ANTHEM FOR GEORGELAND
11/18/04

SUNG TO THE MELODY OF AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL

Amerika,Amerika,god shed his grace on me and crown my good for the brotherhood from sea to blood filled sea.

Oh,beautiful for chemtrail skies for every poluting industry’s gain. For corporate criminal amnesty above all legal blame. Amerika,Amerika, God speaks direct to me, as I steal from all their wealth and power for homeland security.

L.A. Steel
