William,
As a long term lurker, I had to log in and "Thank You" for your nomination above. So sad to know that people and children are being blown to bits by drones and being known as "collateral damage".
Keep up the good fight so that the innocent won't continue to be lost. Winning the hearts and minds????? Hell no, ask the children's parents. Could we not learn Afghanistan's lesson from the Soviets???? How's that democracy in Iraq working?????? What was the 9/11 false flag really about, was it just the money????
Collateral damage coming soon to a state near you; whether you want it or not.
Wild.........
a picture for a thousand words; any day.
When this disgusting rag Time magazine finally goes bankrupt and shuts its doors forever, I am going to throw the BIGGEST fucking party that would even make Caligula blush. I'm talking strippers, coke, midgets......the whole enchilada.
comment of the month award
Throwing midgets?
I'll bring the beer!
She is the face of the delima in the Muslim world, I sincerely hope her side wins, but being a old man that has seen the trechery of man over and over, know her casue has a long battle to fight.
I hope she is protected.
I also tweeted her a message of encouragement earlier.
Absolutely on target as usual, Buckaroo!!!
My end-of-the-year rant:
R O I
(Return On Investment)
Ever fantasized about knocking off that nasty, obnoxious and incompetent who's your boss, and then you could be promoted in his or her position? Good folk may fantasize, but only the banksters routinely use such methods, with a truly obscene return on their investment.
Take Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton's son was assassinated in a staged duel by a crony of Aaron Burr, and Alexander was later assassinated in another staged duel by Aaron Burr.
Hamilton and Burr had founded a bank in New York, the Manhattan Company, but Hamilton would learn that Burr was a thieving scoundrel and disassociate himself from Burr.
Burr was working on behalf of the British bankster interests, trying to split up the northern states from the country, as the banksters always follow the "divide and conquer" rule, making it easier for them to own and control everything.
Hamilton was stridently against foreign ownership of the national bank, originally set up as a private bank to use the Bank of England as a template (there really wasn't that much to on back then), because the government-issued currency had been speculated to death by those vile speculators, and the national bank would provide the required distance, but eventually be turned into a government bank.
When Hamilton energetically came out against Burr's run for governor of New York (which was where they were establishing the financial center then, eventually called "Wall Street"), Burr used that as the pretext to challenge Hamilton to a duel, and therefore Hamilton was assassinated in 1804, several weeks after the murder of his son --- the Hamilton family had effectively been eliminated, leaving only his widow.
After Hamilton's death the national bank would become majority-foreign owned, which was why the US Congress refused to renew its charter in 1811, leading to the War of 1812 (due to hostile and aggressive actions by the British gov't).
Of course, an assassination was required for those hostile actions leading to the War of 1812 --- said assassination of the only British prime minister ever to be murdered in office, Spencer Perceval.
Perceval had committed several grievous acts: first, he had forbade the use of British ports in the slave trade, seriously affecting the profits and revenues of the banker-financed shipping companies; and then Perceval wasn't in agreement with those actions undertaken by the British gov't against the American colonists.
Therefore, Perceval was killed in 1812; many years later a close examination of the so-called "lone gunman" (who had also spent time in Russia) indicated monthly payments traced back to a company owned by the reigning bank of that time.
After the War of 1812, the national bank was reinstituted in America, with 80% private ownership.
Again, after the presidency of Andrew Jackson, the national bank's charter was once again refused, leading to British-bankster financed of the insurrection leading to the Civil War, with Lincoln instituting a new form of bank, a government-owned national bank, leading to Lincoln's assassination in office.
In the late 1800's a master plan of capture and control was put in play by the European bankers, with the plan delivered to the top bankers throughout Europe (in those days, by horse-ridden couriers). The plan, titled "<i>Illuminati</i>" (for "The Enlightened" or "The Elite") was being transported by a courier on horseback during a torrential lightning storm, and the fellow was struck by a bolt.
Local villagers recovered his satchel with said plan, and passed it along to the local royal, who passed it up the line, eventually ending up with the top royalty of the Austro-Hungarian Empire of the day.
This led to obvious pushback from the royals against the bankers, leading to the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, a major precipitating factor of World War I.
At the time of World War I, Paul Warburg (of the Warburg financier family) was the vice chairman of the Federal Reserve, although he had been offered the chairmanship, he suggested a lesser fellow who was his junior. Paul Warburg's brother, Max Warburg, was both the director of the German central bank and financial advisor to the current ruler of Germany, Kaiser Wilhelm.
The bankers would win the day, and America would enter the war!
Coincidentally (of course, it's always a coincidence) another president was also assassinated by a "lone gunman" who had spent time in Russia like the British Prime Minister Perceval, only this time it was President Kennedy, which led to the Vietnam War, not unlike Perceval's assassination leading to the War of 1812, and the burning of the White House.
Curious how so many assassinations lead to wars, isn't it?
The ROI, or return on investment of land mines is extraordinary, given their low cost to manufacture, and global market; the Coca-Cola of the munitions industry.
When Princess Diana began working for the eradication of land mines, the sales of those horrible devices plummeted; she was said to have had an enormous effect on the market.
After her apparent accident, sales almost immediately resumed to previous egregious levels.
Her "accidental death" certainly led to a valuable increase on the munitions industry's ROI.
Prior to the "accidental plane crash" which killed Sen. Paul Wellstone and members of his family, he had been working on legislation to grant collective bargaining rights to all American workers --- a truly radical piece of work!
Horrendous death appears to be the banksters' chief ROI......

I dont know what is more torturous. To have sound money advocates hedged out of existance boldly printed on my currency. Or to have a dynastic bunch of inbreads from a completely different country printed on my currency.
I will quote the grat 20th century philosopher, Will Roger, another great son of Oklahoma, like me,
"It is not the return on my money that I so worried about, it is the return OF my money", I think that is the sum of the complicated equasion.
With yesterday's and today's shooting of health care workers in Pakistan by the Taliban,I would put them on the list for next year's Nobel Peace Prize too.
Nah, that would actually require some courage from the editors.
This is a genuinely inspiring person truly deserving of recognition for her bravery and conviction to an admirable and peaceful cause.
Time is just another MSM dormat for a cat litter box.
Banzai7,
Off topic but......thank you for the special "Certified Junk by Mrs. CD" coffee mug requested by the Mrs. I just ordered three this morning to go with my 20 "Certified Junk by Cognitive Disssonance" mugs. :)
Zazzle just emailed me to let me know that the mugs were fresh out of the oven and queued up for shipment tonight.
<Now I just need to order that neat Gold American Eagle polo shirt.>
Don't forget the back up set for the bomb shelter ;-)
Thank you for setting it straight.

Fuck time magazine. Priceless work as always banzai.
Actually, they should call it Time For Propaganda Magazine.
1. I have no love lost for Time Magazine
2. I have no love lost for the ODronanator
But I think I heard that the Time Person of the Year is for the person who has had the biggest impact/influence - which may imply "goodness", but could just as well as be "badness". After all Hitler, Stalin (2X just like O now), and The Bernank have made the cover.
But your choice above IS spot on.
I hope you see that TIME regards Obama as nothing less than a savior and hero due to his "progressive" views. Their treatment of him is akin to Pravda and Soviet leaders, unstintingly loyal, omitting or excusing gaffes. blunders and mistakes, instantly attacking anyone who dares criticize him.
It's a classical TIMES ploy - praise when he turns to the Left, bash when he turns to the Right, thereby being "fair and balanced". LOL
Why not?
You have the" Shepard in peace"to guide the Missiles of Justice,and i have heard from reliable source:
He loves children,so much he hugs them to death,with his Odreammers.
try not to get caught up in the media take on these things because pretty soon you are thinking that the war in afghanistan is all about children going to school, and womens rights. it's not..
just as the shooting in connecticut becomes a media event, and the marine who murdered 16 afghan civilians is being explained away. the problem in america is that we have less sensitivity and compassion (to those different than we are) than we had fifty years ago, when people protested the war in vietnam for the same reasons that people celebrate the war in iraq and afghanistan, the slaughter of innocents. more americans were opposed to americas entry into ww2 than were against the war in iraq, a blood war of retribution.
time is the propaganda machine, and i am not sure why they didn't post a picture of one of the victims, (though even propagandists have shame) and ran a picture of the head war lord of the us army, i am not sure. i wonder if they took a poll, who was the best (most ruthless) CIC, bush or obama that it would be a draw at least. obama has moved so far to the right that guys like boehner have no idea where they stand anymore. all they have is plan b. daddy how much money do you want?
No the war in Afganistan is about something else.
But she was in Pakistan and that is what she is struggling for.
that photo reminds me why they do anything and everything to keep the pictures of the humans, and the human toll, out of reach. God this is evil

This award tells me he's going to up his game, murdering millions, rather than the thousands he's previously taken out.
Meanwhile, the former middle class? "Deer in the headlights" time.
What you wrote makes me sick to my stomach because deep down I know it's true.
I'm afraid you are right.
you may say i'm a dreamer,
but i'm not the only one.
No sir, your not alone!
Amen
