More research needed on the shoot-out which occurred last week. Jerry Kane and his 16-year old son Joseph were traveling the country giving seminars on debt relief which were becoming quite popular. There are contentions now that the resignation of National Security Director Dennis Blair is related to the administration employing its declared extrajudicial assassination powers to kill the Kanes. The truth is murky, but we know the following:

-- The Obama administration has openly admitted the existence of "lists" of Americans suspected of terrorism to be killed on sight, and openly claims that it has this authority. The most recent confirmation of this came through National Security Director Dennis Blair in a congressional hearing in January, making Blair the "face" of the new policy

- West Memphis police cruisers are equipped with video to record events at all traffic stops. Where is the video?

-- All Walmart parking lots have HD video surveillance. Where is the tape?

I'll keep this short, I was just wondering what you guys, usually young white males, mean by countering anti-war protests with signs made of paper you stole from the office printer Sharpied with just the letters "USA," which you hold in front of you as you shout this over and over. Are you confused as to where you are? Yes, you are in the USA. Are you implying that those who are protesting are against the USA? This is why you are a moron. You lack the mental acumen make the not-so-subtle distinction between a country, and a war being waged by some people in that country, but not all. When Sesame Street set out to teach distinctions, such as "one of these things is not like the other," you failed.

That is why your dad probably sent you to Podunk Business School, knowing that your weren't the brightest bulb in the family and you would need a trade which would keep you out of jail, given your violent tendencies toward people you perceive as 'tackin 'Merica and the ease with which you would fall into some Neocon Brownshirt unit.

The shock waves are still filtering down, a "bagger" winning in Kaintuck and beating the GOP's establishment candidate of choice, but the reality is far more subtle and complex.

Those who wish to understand the Tea Party movement should understand that there are really two of them: the Sarah Palin, pro-war, pro-torture Neocon wing and the Ron Paul-based Libertarians, who both employ the same small gubmint rhetoric while arriving at it from vastly different perspectives.

During the Rand Paul campaign one of the most contentious episodes was the debate among his supporters, who were responsible for the hugely successful "money bombs" which raised large amounts of money for chosen candidates, over whether to accept a Palin endorsement of Paul the Younger. The vast majority of Paulers, Rand Paul's base, consider Palin a war-monger Neocon and Constitution-shredder, in contrast to Rand Paul's tendency to follow his father's philosophy of considered non-intervention in foreign affairs and slamming US empire-building in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many of Paul's swore that they would be done with Rand Paul if he embraced Palin...

The occupation that started with non-existent weapons of mass destruction, non-existent links to Al Qeada, and a dictator who was our friend until he wasn't, is dragging on despite the president's promise to bring them home.
UK Guardian:

The White House is likely to delay the withdrawal of the first large phase of combat troops from Iraq for at least a month after escalating bloodshed and political instability in the country. General Ray Odierno, the US commander, had been due to give the order within 60 days of the general election held in Iraq on 7 March, when the cross-sectarian candidate Ayad Allawi edged out the incumbent leader, Nouri al-Maliki.

Just asking a question, because it's worrisome if it's true, given Barack's friendly way of saying I can kill whomever I want, kind of unDemocratic if you ask me. Googled this after I was listening to NPR today that Kagan has no problem with indefinite detention:

Solicitor General Nomination

On January 5, 2009, President-elect Barack Obama announced he would nominate Kagan to be Solicitor General. Before this appointment she had limited courtroom experience. She had never argued a case at trial, and had not argued before the Supreme Court of the United States. This is not uncommon, however, as at least two previous Solicitors General, Robert Bork and Kenneth Starr, had no previous appellate experience at the Supreme Court, though Starr served as a Circuit Court Judge prior to acting as Solicitor General.

At her confirmation hearing, Kagan also drew criticism for arguing that battlefield law, including indefinite detention without a trial, could apply outside of traditional battlefields...

The word is out, they are going for the funding, which means there is a real chance of stopping the war. Call your congressman and tell him or her to get on-board NOW! Tell him you'd like the next $250 billion or so spent a little closer to home. Going by economist Joe Stiglitz's figure of $3 trillion over the course of both wars, that's $10,000 for every man, woman and child into the pockets of defense contractor shareholders and the like. It sure isn't going to the soldiers. Forty thousand dollars richer that you would be right now, if you are a family of four, if it wasn't for these wars. Contact Congress, Capitol switchboard, 24/7 after-hours voicemail: (202) 224-3121

From My Inbox, A Message from Progressive Democrats of America

Congressman Jim McGovern (D., Mass.), the second ranking Democrat on the House Rules Committee, urged his colleagues to vote No on the upcoming supplemental to fund an escalation of war in Afghanistan with $33 billion.

Speaking on a podcast produced by Progressive Democrats of America, McGovern said,

A Message from Congressman Kucinich:

Washington has a lot of money. It has trillions for war, but no money for housing. Money for war, but no money for health care. Money for war, but no money for education. Money for war - no money to rebuild our cities. No money to create jobs, but money for war.

The Democrats took control of the Congress in 2006 with a promise to end the War in Iraq and it's not enough for this Administration to slow-walk the end of the war, which could continue for years to come. And it's not enough for a Democratic Administration to escalate a war in Afghanistan at a time when there's no clear objective and no end in sight of the contribution of blood and treasure, to a region which has never been conquered by any foreign country.

In one of those come-around-full-circle things where the left looks like the right and the right looks like the left, this well-received speech at the 2010 CPAC, posted at Campaign for Liberty.

I would venture to say Obama would get back a lot of the base he has lost were he to hand those who elected him in order to stop the wars a speech with one-tenth the passion, by an Air Force Lt. Colonel who has also blogged for Huffington Post. "Why Real Conservatives Are Against the War on Terror."

Tell me how a Republican sounds like this:

It is the stupidity in the strategy that I want to briefly review. And to do this, no one here needs to understand the least bit about military history, tactics and strategy. You do not need to know about the Chinese general Sun Tzu, because apparently no one leading the Pentagon is reading him.

A message and appeal for action forwarded by Mark Crispin Miller, please circulate.

Dear Mark,

The IndictBushNow movement has captured the imagination and support of hundreds of thousands of people. This is a grassroots movement and it is a classic example of the people acting together to defend democracy and the Constitution from government law-breakers.

We are writing you today because the struggle for government accountability has entered a new phase. This movement needs your active participation. Powerful corporate forces who have bowed in the past to pressure from the Bush-Cheney gang are now trying to block this movement from getting our message out.

IndictBushNow had spent weeks communicating with CBS representatives for the launch in Washington, D.C., for our wrap-around bus ads that read: "TORTURE is not just wrong ... it is ILLEGAL. Because NO ONE is above the law," followed by our organization's website address.

But now, CBS officials have suddenly changed their tune...

Ok I know you guys are going to scoff because this is Alex Jones, and I only agree with about 40% of what he says. But in this I think he hits a bulls-eye, in a very entertaining fashion. Recorded the day before the Super Bowl. Basic message, "Wake up! You are losing your rights! Cancel the Super Bowl this is an emergency!" I'll be sending this to quite a few male relatives in my family, do the same. Please do not comment unless you have watched the video.

Twice betrayed three times wise should be the watchword for Democratic officeholders who wish for an accomplishment which would reverse the momentum toward catastrophe in 2010. It's not about who is suddenly voting for Republicans. It is about who is disgusted with Democratic promise-breaking and staying home.

Obama's DOJ just covered up even more for Bush administration torture, giving Judge John Bybee and torture lawyer John Yoo a pass. The Holder report expected to be released this week calls writing a fig leaf to justify torture "bad judgment", but not a violation of professional ethics.

When a base which sees no net effect but more of the same, and worse, by voting, is combined with independents who vote based on right-wing propoganda, what you get is Scott Brown.
