I play the Monetary Economic System game because I must to survive. So I do my best to make it work. But theoretically, I know it’s flawed beyond repair if one is to truly make a system that is for all humanity. And so I live with it knowing what it does and how it perpetuates greed and suffering all over the world. And it makes me sad.
I pledge allegiance to every human on the planet
I do NOT subscribe to NATIONALISM. I find it an antiquated system that is only used to keep the wage slaves on their hamster wheels. Run!
I would NOT “offend” for the USA or any country in a violent military battle. I don’t believe in killing for the global masters in the guise of freedom or democracy. I won’t kill in the name of ….
I do NOT believe there is such thing as a Terror War. I know the fabrications must exist to perpetuate the system. Without it, the owners cannot maintain order and rake in their profits.
I think the one party system in the USA with 2 factions sucks!
Like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and most all of the U.S. founding fathers I am a Deist with a 2012 perspective leaning on science and reality.
I subscribe to the reality of Evolution.
I do believe the new Global Age of Enlightenment and Reason (GAER) is upon us right now and will be with us moving forward causing great introspection as the future generations look back at our times and before with great amazement and, in some respects, disbelief.
I am truly concerned about global population and how it will affect human life here in the next 100 years. Either we will have a SUPER CLASH or a nice transition to a new paradigm. I hope for the latter but I am betting on the former which distresses me greatly.
Today, famed NFL Player and Charger Nation great Junior Seau died. From all reports, it clearly was a single gun shot suicide.
Like our U.S. Military Veterans, it is certainly possible that Seau suffered from a similar affliction that causes U.S. Soldiers and Veterans to terminate their lives.
I am NOT saying I am a doctor. I am NOT. I am just a fellow warrior who played in the war game for too long only to luckily get out just in time to save my sanity from the bowels of despair that is suicide.
You see guys like Seau are too committed to the war, too committed to the act of war, the cause, the smell of it, and the feel of it.
Some in the NFL call it “having trouble leaving the game behind”. They’ve been doing it so long; since they were kids, that they really do not know another way, another life. It’s who they became and when it’s over they are lost.
Was Seau lost? Are some of our Veterans lost?
A few years back, he drove his car off a cliff in San Diego. At the time, he said it was an accident. But he was all alone. The signs were there. Much like the signs are there for our real life warriors who come back from horrific war when, suddenly, they are discharged and back to civilian life not knowing what to do or how to act. They are lost too. And if one is brave enough to look, the signs are there.
So if you have a loved one in the military or a Veteran and you see the signs, get help NOW! Don’t wait.
Warriors need hugs and support. Give all you can. They need support and some real help to make the transition into the civilian world where NOT everything is a war event.

As we enter the 2012 Presidential elections does it really matter who’s President of the U.S.A.?
Each year Americans get all excited and hopeful as they watch all the election TV shows; getting as much information as possible to elect their U.S. President.
Americans love and buy into the SUPERPAC commercials created and purchased by the candidates – oops – I mean “friends” of the candidates.
And each year, after it’s all over, the winner celebrates with his voters and the majority of the people throw a confetti and balloon party. And then the very next day, it’s back to business as usual. The president thanks all of his citizen supporters, turns his back, and walks into that Oval Office to meet with his real owners. And boom, nothing the voters hoped for gets done unless it is in the interests of the owners. Welcome to 21st century America!
Now don’t get me wrong, I love democracy and I am rooting for it. And yes, democracy does exist in the USA. It’s just at the simple local level where your vote does have an effect and the owners don’t have a real interest.
The Biggest Shadow Game on the Planet
Unfortunately, at the federal level, the game is so big that the people’s vote is meaningless. It’s just there to give the impression that one has a voice. And so the voter feels good about his leadership and the owners that stand behind the dark curtains. And so the real business can proceed with a citizenry who’s in love with watching a reality show. Why else do you think we get characters like Newt, Romney, Santorum, Bachmann, and Cain? This is MTV for old folks home! Thank you Citizens United!
Okay so now the spokesman for the owners, ergo the U.S. President, has his job and his trusty teleprompter giving him the eloquent words to speak for the day. It’s a good show and Americans love it. While it might not compete with the Kardashians it’s certainly up there with Dancing with the Stars; which is not too shabby.
Oh by the way, what happened to Chazz Bono? Did he? I mean, she – err – um? Forget it!
* Obviously this video is satire but voter fraud in Iowa was actually confirmed! For more info, please read “Conspriacy Iowa Vote“.
De-Mock-Crazy: Owners Laughing at Us
So now what? What do we do? Well, some tried revolt with Occupy Wall Street movement but that seemed to fade into the long dark police state ending with a face-book post from a trusty government surveiled I Phone and some mace to the face by a wayward New York Police Stormtrooper.
Was that the best revolt Americans can muster?
If so, the owners of the country are bathing in its mediocrity. Millions that were needed to defeat the owners never jumped on. They were not were ready because they still have the propaganda induced American Dream Disease (ADD). All together now “We’re Number #1!”
So are Americans too numb or still too happy to revolt?
I mean have Americans given up on revolt and merely accepted the fact that this is a corporatocracy with a reality show called “De-Mock-Crazy“?
Ron Paul and Integrity Don’t Fly with the Owners
Now there is a truth-to-power force called Ron Paul. This guy is speaking truth to power and only beholden to the money of “we the people”. But does he have a real chance against the predators?
I mean did you see that farce called the debate last night? What a joke? Brian Willliams is just another tool.
He went back and forth to the Super-Pac candidates Romney and Newt and virtually ignored Paul giving him 10% of time; a token.
Instead, they play him up to be crazy and insane when, in reality, he’s the only one NOT bold face fronting for the 1% lying like there’s no tomorrow. Yet, he’s marginalzed and branded fringe when he’s the only real person standing on his own.
I mean wow integrity is not something that’s rewarded by the owners right? They seem to only invest in deception and farce. Maybe next they can get Newt to marry Kim Kardashian. That would be OPEN right Calista? I mean it’s just the reality within this reality show. It’s bonkers folks and the public still prefers the con to the truth. What does that say about human nature?
For me, I love Ron Paul. I don’t agree with everything that he sells but I am 100% sure he’s selling from the heart. And that is something to respect. The rest? Con men who dont’ believe in their product.
Dr. Paul is really is telling it like it is and holding us to personal responsibility and a mirror that hurts but it’s true. But he has no shot at being President does he? I mean they simply won’t let him in. And if he sniffs winning, they will simply rig it or threaten him with an offer that he can’t refuse because the owners never lose.
I mean come on….do you think they will really allow Dr. Paul to get rid of the banksters? Like that’s going to fly with these psychotic predators! No friggin way! We’re dealing with real top predators folks. We are merely their food. Get it! They will play to kill. We’re talking the top of immorality; Sun Tzu Art of War guys wearing noveau Machevellian suits made by that famed international designer Nathan Rothschild. Do you really buy what they are sellling? Come on!
Invest In Reality TV and Cash In
So for me, I have stopped investing in “who” is U.S. President. It does NOT matter! The owners run the show no matter what! They are playing a completely different game and we’re not invited.
I mean come on! Obama pledged to close Gitmo. And I am sure he truly believed that telling us, the people, something that we know is inherently moral and right was the thing to do but when he entered that Oval Office, well, the owners said “No, No Barry! No Can Do” and boom, gone! Gitmo is rockin’!
And what about going after George W. Bush and Dick Cheney for war crimes? Where was the investigation? The special prosecutor? Do I need to mention 9/11? Really? Blah blah blah!
It’s not that Obama is a bad guy. I am sure he’s a really nice guy. But really, he’s not in control. He can’t do what he wants. Like Georgy Bush, he can only read the teleprompter albeit 100 times better than poor idiot Georgy and then go on vacation. That’s the job they accepted. It’s an acting gig! Do the job, get paid well and go off into the sunset, set for life. Let me see…um? Wal-Mart cashier or President set for life. Hey I can act! Where do I apply?
Ronald Reagan: America’s First Great Actor President
While all Presidents since John F. Kennedy have been controlled by the owners, it was Ronald Reagan who perfected the talking head role. He really showed us that a good actor can be an effective talking head. For those too young too remember, he was called “The Great Communicator” or as we in Hollywood called him, a low grade bad B actor and a real jerk-off union busting leader of the Screen Actors Guild. Anyways, since Reagan, the presidency has been on a collision course with a 21st Century reality show.
Now, I am NOT sure about George H.W Bush. He seemed like a he was one of the shadow guys who let his ego get in the way. Think of the Teflon Don John Gotti. The boss got in front of the camera. Oops! Bad idea! You’re suppossed to be quiet in the shadow you dumbass! No matter, after that little NWO faux paux, Clinton, Bush II, and Obama were clearly not invited to the meetings where the owners discussed the game plan. They just marched along, smiled and played their role. Don’t get mad folks? This is the biggest game in the world. Are you really surprised that we are merely peasants with an email address?
So now what?
Go Back to Your Wal-Mart Job and Shut Up
So maybe we should go back to our “middle class” job at STAPLES as U.S presidential candidate Romney recently said at a reality show debate and hope the owners don’t cut us off from the relatively cheap gas, food, bread, and water! I mean maybe we should just enjoy the show and pay the monthly fee for the right to watch. Or maybe we should revolt? But how? Where? When? With what? Against who?
For me? This morning the Academy Awards just announced their nominees for 2012. So I am rooting for Newt Gingrich as best actor in a Comedy! Oh I heard the Bilderbergers are up for best Director but that they are being fronted by Steven Spielberg. Ah who knows? I like this NWO show! Popcorn please!

Sheldon Adelson, Las Vegas casino and hotel magnate, has been secretly funding a new Super Pac for Israel to fight against presidential candidates that don’t tow the Israeli first line.
This week, they are targeting Ron Paul. Paul has been touting NO foreign aid based on the principle that we need to spend our money at home and not in lands far far away. This translates into billions taken away from Adelson’s beloved Israel which is has been the # 1 recepicient of U.S. citizen tax dollars for decades.
Next up, Adelson the the Israel Super Pac will take dead aim at President Obama who has never been 100% on board with his Israeli first agenda.
Now in the RT video clip below journalist Max Blumenthal exposes Israel’s increasing role in American politics.
Blumenthal gives an honest assessment of how American zionists like Sheldon Adelson have teemed up with Israeli politicians to manipulate American elections through super PACs like The Emergency Committee for Israel. Adelson actually gave Newt Gingrich $5 million after he called the Palestinians an “invented people” and claimed that Ron Paul’s Middle East policy of peace is “dangerous.”
As the video states, Adelson has deep political ties to Israel’s politics, including owning an Israeli paper that is considered by many to be the propaganda arm of the Israeli Prime Minister, Netanyahu.
It is widely estimated that American organizations like AIPAC, Goldman Sachs, and American zionists contribute 50% of all of America’s campaign contributions.
This should not be shocking though considering that Jewish Americans comprise 33% of America’s millionaires, 40% of America’s billionaires, and 45% of Forbes’ 40 richest Americans.
Israel’s lobby in America, AIPAC, is the only foreign agent in the US that does not have to register under the Foreign Agent Registration Act.
This is especially egregious considering that AIPAC employees have been caught red-handed stealing American military secrets on two separate occasions, but have not even been prosecuted for their espionage.
Almost every major American politician in the last decade has either met with AIPAC or flown to Israel to receive approval before running a campaign. Many of America’s congressman have admitted that they consistently ask how Israel feels about a bill before voting on it.
The consequences of this type of intervention by AIPAC, Israel, and American zionists are quite severe.
America’s pro Israel Middle East policy is directly responsible for tragedies such as September 11, 2001, the Iraq war, and the Patriot Act.
Gangster in a suit Adelson is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Las Vegas Sands Corp., the parent company of Venetian Macao Limited which operates The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino and the Sands Expo and Convention Center.
Adelson vastly increased his net worth upon the initial public offering of Las Vegas Sands in December 2004. He is currently the 8th wealthiest American and 16th wealthiest person in the world, with a net worth of $23.3 billion.

Want to Really Be Objective on the Issues? Embrace The Beach Ball Effect
by Johnny Punish
Right now America’s mainstream media is being accused of playing with fire for playing-up the prospect of war, between Iran and the West. And clearly most people in the intelligencia know that mainstream U.S. media is clearly cheerleading for war with Iran. It’s expected.
In fact, it’s a sensitive time with the military stand-off in the Strait of Hormuz and looming sanctions over Iran’s nuclear program. But, as Gayane Chichakyan reports on Russian TV, viewers in the States are repeatedly hearing how war is virtually inescapable. And so those that watch non-US produced media are getting a different perspective on the issues than USA media presents. Interesting right? Check it out and see the other side of the Beach Ball and how it’s presented.
Now for me I find this report illuminating because it exposes something that most in the USA do not see; in that the USA media is completely and utterly run by corporations who have a vested interest in the continued war. They represent a clear interest and agenda that may be good for them but not necessarily good for the citizenry.
Moreover, when I sit down with my enlightened friends, they all know the truth about media. They are simply and utterly disappointed in the fallacy sold to their fellow Americans by the corporatocracy. They expect such from a banana republic but this is very different. This is not how it was back in the day. It’s markedly worse and on the whole very bad for everyone on the planet.
The Beach Ball Effect
Now when I speak to my friends who seek enlightenment through objectivity, I always tell them to look at all sides of the issues from all news sources first. Consider the sources and where its’ coming from so that you can get a big full picture of the issues before ever making an truly objective and unbiased judgment. I call this the Beachball Effect.
To further explain, if one simply puts a beachball in front of them and attempts to explain the colors they see they will inevitable say it’s two colors never seeing that on the other side there are, in fact, two other colors on the beach ball. Therefore, they would be right in a sense but only in that they are seeing just one side of the story. Now if they wanted to get the big picture then they would have to get up from their chair and walk over to the other side and see the other two colors. Once they did that, they would actually know the full beachball. Voila! Objectivity! And thus, news is like that as well.
In the USA, we get the side of the corporations and their agenda telling us what they want us to know. But that’s just one side of the beach ball. When we look at sources not controlled by the American-Global media giants, then we can actually see other sides of the beach ball to get a full picture of the beachball.
Now where to go for such objectivity seeking?
Well, in the USA, everyone knows the MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, and even the GOP news channel that some call Fox News. Okay, that’s in the USA. But there are more outside that sphere that broadcast in English Here’s a short list of 3 that are must see bookmarks to watch daily;
Russia Today (RT): With reporters you may even recognize, RT posts post daily with news that can shock American viewers with its brutal honesty. RT on Twitter RT on Facebook
PressTV: This TV channel is run by Tehran in Iran. It’s remarkably interesting and objective considering it’s source. If you want to speak intelligently on the issues of Iran, you must watch this channel in addition to the corporate news side that you get from USA television. That will help you be more objective.
Al-Jazeera: This news channel is the CNN of the Middle East. It has been trying to get on USA cable channels so that Americans can see news from the side of the actual people that live there. Unfortunately for Americans, the corporations are blocking Al-Jazeera because they don’t sell what the corporations that control America want and so the American public remains ignorant on the issues making them ripe for deception when needed.
Of course, there are more sources but these 3 are musts to see if one cares to start on the path to objectivity. I encourage you to find more…..
Now know that most of the people that follow my efforts online know that I am in pursuit of truth, justice, and humanity. But if you’re in the camp that prefers to only watch Fox News and then tell us that everyone else in the world is crazy, then go back to your ignorance.
But don’t worry, as we evolve away from age of this horrible ignorance and into the light, we will leave a humane place for you to go and live quite happily in your fantasy world where its’ always 1955 and the world is Ozzie and Hannity and their little rude boy step child; Sir Rupert Murdoch.

Two of the four US Marines seen in a videoappearing to urinate on dead Afghan bodies have been identified, a Marine Corps official told the Reuters news agency today. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that the Marines believed the video was authentic.
The two that were identified are still part of the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines, based out of Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, according to the official who spoke to reporters on Thursday. That unit served in Afghanistan’s Helmand province from March until September of 2011, the official said.
Earlier on Thursday, Afghan President Hamid Karzai condemned the video.
“The government of Afghanistan is deeply disturbed by a video that shows American soldiers desecrating dead bodies of three Afghans,” said a statement from Karzai’s office on Thursday.
“This act by American soldiers is simply inhuman and condemnable in the strongest possible terms.”
The footage, first posted on the Live Leak website, shows four men in military uniforms urinating on three bloodied bodies on the ground, apparently aware that they were being filmed.
In a phone call to Karzai, Leon Panetta, the US defence secretary, expressed his regret over the incident and promised an investigattion.
“I have seen the footage, and I find the behaviour depicted in it utterly deplorable. I condemn it in the strongest possible terms,” Panetta said in a statement.
Panetta ordered the Marine Corps and General John Allen, the US commander of international forces in Afghanistan, to immediately and fully investigate the incident.
“This conduct is entirely inappropriate for members of the United States military … Those found to have engaged in such conduct will be held accountable to the fullest extent,” he said.
Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, also expressed “dismay” and condemned the “deplorable behavior”.
The international coalition forces in Afghanistan, as well as the US embassy in Kabul, have also strongly condemend the video.
About 20,000 marines are deployed in Afghanistan, mostly in Kandahar and Helmand provinces, in the south of the war-ravaged country.
Taliban reaction
Al Jazeera’s Rosiland Jordan, reporting from Washington, said the video will make the work of US forces in the country much more difficult.
“The timing could not be more difficult. The US is trying to work out efforts to engage in direct peace talks with the Taliban, it is trying to support the Afghan government’s efforts to promote reconciliation,” she said.
In a statement, the Taliban said the incident was “against all international human rights” but “not the only example of the horrific actions that the Americans have done in Afghanistan”.
“American soldiers are trained to spread horror and this is one of the examples,” the Taliban said.
However, the group’s statement added that the incident would not affect negotiations with the US after US officials said Washington would send an envoy to Afghanistan to prepare the ground for direct peace talks between the two sides.
Lieutenant Colonel Jay Stout, a former US Marine Corps pilot, said he found the incident “disturbing”.
“Look, marines kill to win, and sometimes they kill a lot and that’s good, that’s fine, that’s war,” he said.
“But in victory we are trained to be compassionate, we are trained to be respectful and this incident was neither of those.”
The US military has been prosecuting soldiers from its army’s Fifth Stryker Brigade on charges of murdering unarmed Afghan civilians while deployed in 2010 in Kandahar province.
In that case, photographs published last March by two magazines – Der Spiegel and Rolling Stone – showed soldiers posing with the bloodied corpse of an Afghan boy they had just killed.
Truly saddened, I must say that the now long standing collective culture of vulgarity where we are collectively conditioned to arrogantly hate and view others as less than not only those outside the USA but within is the culprit.
These soldiers are victims of this engrained vulgarity. Whatever motivated these young men to think that pissing on dead humans is something to do for kicks shines a horrible reflective light on the sickness that is the U.S. culture; from top to bottom.
It’s time to stop blaming everyone in the world for our own collective falling from grace or just admit that we are no longer a leader and take our place in the long line of pathetic cultures and bottom tier nations that neither influence or have standing in the minds of those of us who live and aim high in the 21st century.
In my view, the US has many wonderful people seeking wonderful things. But this collective downward spiral of our conscienceness is appalling and really needs a massive overall. It’s everything! It’s making fun of people with towels on their headsd or calling someone of color “hey boy” or laughing at our working man neighbors in Mexico who only seek to feed their families.
It’s many things! And first and foremost among them is re-learning how to respect our fellow man and not merely piss on them. I remain embarrassed as I should be! And you?

Check out Saddam Don’t Surf – a song dedicated to Saddam Hussein
And the New Phony Book Book “We Got Him”
by Johnny Punish
Yesterday marked the 8th year anniversary of the capture of Saddam Hussein. To mark the occassion, Lt. Col Steve Russell who allegedly led the team to capture Saddam wrote a book called “We Got Him“
When U.S. forces allegedly exterminated Osama bin Laden in Pakistan on May 1, 2011 (wink wink), the world cheered not only the death of the 9/11 terrorist mastermind but the unmatched might, skill, and perseverance of America’s military elite. It was a brilliant example of history repeating itself; less than a decade earlier, the capture of Saddam Hussein, a triumph of military strategy in and of itself, opened the door for the most recent and essential victory in the fabricated War on Terror. It should be noted that un-officially, the Pentagon has an amazing group of script writers that make sure that the stories told all fall somewhat in line to insure that the narrative makes cents. Its’ business as usual, take no offence.
Now what we have here is the official riveting account of a grand human saga that tested every element of character and fortitude: the six-month manhunt that ended at a hole on the bank of the Tigris River, and the blow-by-blow plays of the actual raids that netted Saddam, culminating in the electrifying quote heard around the globe, “We Got Him!”
Now it should absolutely be noted that in the special opps community it’s well known that Lt. Col. Russell’s team was a cover for the real folks that “captured” Saddam. While I can’t divulge my source, I can tell you that this person I call “Spit Ball” was there and Spit Ball personally spoke with and “befriended” Saddam. You should know that while Saddam was a horrible dictator, personally, he was a bit charming and frankly suprising friendly and very coherent. He knew the game being played. Please note that Spit Ball s still working in the theatre of operations and thus cannot compromise operations.
I mean, come on folks? Did you think you were going to get the real story from an official source? Really? Did you forget that those who gave us this fabricated war gave us WMD’s and Joe Wilson’s Yellowcake to eat in Nigeria at the Valerie Plame Restaurant? As the late Philosopher and comedian George Carlin said “I dont’ believe anything they tell me” and I think that fits.
Hey, you should know that the real guys who took out Saddam need their cover for various reasons and so we get an official account of the story from the pre-approved State Department and Pentagon list. It keeps the narrative of the history they want us to believe in line with their agenda.
Hey the info you get is controlled. Don’t take it personal okay. It’s just the way things are and have been for a very long time.
Now it should be noted that no other event in Operation Iraqi Freedom caught the attention of the world like the hunt for and capture of Saddam Hussein. Square in the middle of the search, living in Saddam’s hometown of Tikrit, it’s claimed that Lt. Col. Steve Russell and his men of the 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division were there. Okay, good stuff.
This book is packed with “rare photos” and “insider information”, We Got Him! chronicles the day-by-day search and the successes and dead ends as regular and special-operations soldiers tore into Saddam’s social networks.
This is the definitive official account of this major historical event and of the sacrifice that made it happen. It also provides a rare look at the enemy side of the action. With his extensive journal notes, combat reports, and painstaking research, Steve Russell has preserved the story as only someone who lived the experience can do. Yep, and it’s pure fiction and it will make a great movie someday! Ya hear me Spielberg!
In addition, I also have a recorded a song called “Saddam Don’t Surf” that is dedicated to the long gone dictator. Check it out here in the video below. Enjoy!

Lowe’s Caves In to Extremist Pressure Pulling Ads from Reality TV Show
Johnny Punish
The extremist evangelical political group posing as Christians, The Florida Family Association, has convinced Lowe’s to pull its advertising from the TV show “All-American Muslim”. The show is basically a window in the lives of Americans who practice Islam. It’s complete with everyday challenges like going to the store, school and work with the typical personal relationships that clash on reality shows. The aim is to give everyone a picture into the everyday lives of Americans who practice Islam.
Lowe’s, under huge backlash from pro-freedom groups, is sadly standing by its decision to choose the vocal minority extremist wing of the political Christian movement over the values of America that embraces all Americans regardless of their color, creed, or disposition. And of course, we the people, can choose to NOT shop at a store that stands with bigotry and hatred.
With over 1 billion Muslims in the world, the overwhelming majority are moderates; just like most Christians and Jews among other religions. This irrational fear and demonization of Muslims by extremists is dangerous and stinks. It makes a mockery of faith and tolerance. It’s unacceptable and FFA and Lowes must be held accountable for their bigotry.
In fact, all extremists are dangerous; whether they be Muslim, Christians or Jews. In fact, extremists are the enemy of everyday people, not a show on Americans who practice Islam; all extremists including Jews, Christians and Muslims who highjack faith for their sick agenda’s. This is the enemy of America. Let’s get that straight right now! FFA is the enemy and so is the Taliban. They are the same birds of a feather; intolerant and anti-freedom.
In America, there are people of many faiths, many creeds, many dispositions and it’s this diversity that makes America stronger, not weaker. It’s a shining example to the rest of the world that we humans can and do live with each other under a system of government that allows for free expression and freedom to believe what you choose. It is exactly what our founding fathers stood for and fought for…..freedom of religiion.
Now this Director of the Florida Family Association says that Muslims are a threat to America and is encouraging all advertisers to stay away. This extremist in a suit and tie has the right to be an extremist in a free America. However, we have the right to shun him and his flock and out them as bigots and fear-mongers. They are exactly what they are, a fringe of haters and fear-mongers.
So consider this post just another outing of an extremist dangerous group in America. And also consider it a call to boycott a corporation who rejects American values. They want us to spend our money in their store but only their type of customers! Okay, that’s their prerogative. If they only want extremists in their stores, so be it.
Be advised that I am selling my stock and will NEVER visit their store again. Moreover, I am telling all my friends and family about the bigoted Lowe’s and how they stand for an America that is divisive and bigoted. And that’s my prerogative in a free society.
David Caton, executive director of the Florida Family Association, said that a hacker claiming to be from the hacktivist collective Anonymous took down the website Monday night in retaliation for the Lowe’s campaign, only leaving up the message that the group was “destroying our free speech,” the St. Petersburg Times reports.
At the time of writing the FFA site was just one page that referenced the attack in a message from Caton: “No further proof is needed of the potential for vicious action then [sic] exactly what these folks are trying to do to this web site!”
“In a country that supposedly embraces free speech,” he continues, “those that oppose our position [sic] have no qualms about destroying our free speech. Yet, these same folks claim the Internet should not be restricted in any way. How the two conflicting positions [sic] can be reconciled in their minds is beyond comprehension.”
“Because of our real concern for the terrorism that is a way of life for some folks, we ourselves have become victims. Because we urge others to be vigilant, we become the targets,” Caton says.
As a web guy myself, I know this is BS. If they can put up a page, they can put up a site. This is complete B.S. and they are using this as an opportunity to demonize and tell it’s flock “See We Told You So”. This false flag operation is taken directly from the Zionist pages of hate and war. Nice try guys! You’ve been outed again!
Like me, you might want to considering joining the chorus in the booing section against FFA and Lowe’s that includes Russell Simmons and many others for caving to Islamophobes.
Consider this….after Lowe’s issued a backhanded apology that said “individuals and groups have strong political and societal views on this topic” and “we’ve managed to make some people very unhappy.”, they stood by their decision to alienate American values.
And so, Yes Lowes, you did made the majority of us very unhappy. You made the same error that others have made in thinking an extremist group is the majority just because they have a microphone in their hand. Opps! Would you support the Taliban in Afghanistan or the Likud in Israel? Hell, they build homes too. You might want to go and advertise to get them on our customer list too. Hell, they are of the same ilk as these fake Christian extremists.
I mean just because this lunatics yell the loudest does NOT make them the majority of us. They are the sickos in our society, not the tolerant and peaceful majority. Opps! Lowes is now a fringe company! Sell the stock, it’s worthless!

Fadwa Soliman in Hiding within Syria on Phone Making Statements for Freedom
by Johnny Punish
From the early start of the Syrian popular uprising against tyranny and oppression, many intellectuals worldwide across the board have joined the Syrian people in their fight for freedom and dignity a presence that proved to be of a tremendous impact across the country.
Among those is Syrian actress Fadwa Soliman who announced her full support and stood among her brothers and sisters at the heart of the revolution, the victorious city of Homs. Undoubtingly representing a real noble position of an intellectual, a woman and a human.
Born in Aleppo Syria, Fadwa moved to the capital Damascus to pursue an acting career where she performed in numerous plays, including in No Comment, Dolls’ House, Maria’s Voice and Media, and in at least a dozen TV shows, including in The Diary of Abou Antar and Little Ladies.
A prominent Syrian actress, she has been actively backing the eight-month-old uprising against the country’s government, which is blamed for a military crackdown on protests that the UN says has left thousands of people dead.
Fadwa Soliman belongs to the country’s minority Alawite sect, the same branch of Islam as the country’s ruling Assad family.
She has been in the flashpoint city of Homs for weeks, urging more people to take part in the revolution while on the run from authorities.
We, the people of the United States from all walks of life and all political affiliations, really need to announce our full support and solidarity with Fadwa in her noble human and patriotic stance with her countrymen and women in their fight for more than eight months now.
We also need to call all on all peoples in the world to stand in solidarity with her in her peaceful struggle to stop the killing, the starvation and the humiliation practiced unfortunately by the Syrian government.
Also, we need to stand in full solidarity with our brothers and sisters in all revolting cities and villages of the Middle East, especially the great city of Homs. It’s time America stands for it’s own storied and hard earned values with those who seek the same.
Inspired today, I penned some lyrics for a song in honor of Fadwa. Check it out….
Police walked in for Soliman
I said, she ain’t here, but she sure went past
Oh, you’re looking for Fadwa Soliman
What a mess-a-Syria Fadwa dread
Cut off her ears and chop off her head
Police come looking for Soliman
So if you’re gonna take a message to Assad Town
Tell him freedom won’t be clamped down
Ya see my friends we’re all just Soliman
Don’t you bother me, not anymore
I can’t take oppression oh, no more
It’s all around, Fadwa Soliman
F A D W A in Homstown
Basheer Dictator is cracking down
Oh he lookin for Soliman
And crackdown sucks
Yeah I said it sucks bad yeah
It’s all around Soliman
Arab spring dictators fall
Freedom for people now one and all
It’s everywhere come on Soliman
From Tunis to Cairo eat a gyro
In Tel-Aviv please believe
The future’s here
Come on Soliman
99% of all of us
Just want to get on that freedom bus
Holding hands together
With Soliman
There’s no place for you or for the hate
Stop killing man before it’s too late
Jump on the train
to Freedom town
Fah fah Freedom town they spell it with a capital F
That’s what I’m talkin bout it’s the best
Come around to freedom town
Come on Fadwa
lyrics and music by Johnny Punish
based on the Jimmy Jazz melody from The Clash
The 21st century is upon us and times they are a changing.
In America, we stand for freedom, democracy, and liberty. And we must stand with Fadwa.

A Con Man’s Con Puts America On Collision Course for 21st Century War in Middle East Ignoring Main Street Interests
by Johnny Punish
Yesterday, U.S. Presidential candidate and GOP front runner Newt Gingrich boldly proclaimed to his Zionist assigns that “Palestinians are an invented people“.
Of course being a Palestinian American in the Diaspora who’s mother happened to be born in Haifa Palestine (1939), I naturally, on a personal level, took offence. Heck wouldn’t you? He dissed my mother! And in America, that’s a call out. So if you don’t mind, when I see Newt in person, I will be punching him in nose and telling him that he’s a bully that belongs in the marginalized corner for the socially unacceptable.
But that’s just me in defense of my family. My personal feelings aside, Newt the Bold and his proclamation really opens up a discussion on American foreign policy in the Middle East and the benefits to the American people.
But before we go there, let’s put this on the table.
The number one priority for the USA is the USA. It’s jobs and economy. It’s America! Not Israel! Agreed?
SO what’s with the facisination with Israel; a place populated by a few million people halfway around the world? And why do American politicians seems to think that Israel is our number one priority? What does Israel have to do with jobs and our lives on main street in America?
Like all Americans, I am asking what the hell is going on?
Well, with AIPAC looming over Washington DC like an alien space ship spreading stupid gas on our political system, there is simply no hope that any U.S. politician can survive their attack. We are dealing with the most aggressive virus to infect America ever!
Now with Israel already getting the most aid from U.S. Taxpayers than any other country in the world and with NO real genuine benefit to the 310 million Americans who pay for this robbery of the national wealth, Americans better
start paying attention because this robbery is going on while we continue to suffer through unemployment, the systematic and deliberate devolution of our middle classes, and a general loss of credibility across the world rendering the
U.S. impotent in both real political influence and cultural significance.
In short, We are being robbed by men in suits. They are are selling us a bag of shit telling us it’s gourmet faire. It was okay when we were at least robbed politely but now they are doing it in our face and then telling us to piss off to boot. Not cool folks!
Moreover, this B.S. about the promised land was cute and a nice story. Heck even I liked the that sales pitch from these atheist posing as good Christians because it was always fuzzy and comfy. Thanks for that security blanket.
I mean its’ always good to believe in some other world and hope for a messiah to save us. I mean who does not want to be “saved”?
But now this dirty pitch is getting out of hand and it’s costing the real lives of real people in the here and now! And that’s NOT responsible. That’s reckless. So shelve the pitch and save it for some other day. I have kids to feed okay!
I mean that ridiculous pitch says nothing to us about our real lives here in 21st century America.
We live under a government that no longer represents our interests run by policians and their sponsors who are investing their proceeds of a crime all over the world and not in our own communities. It’s straight up B.S.
I mean with unemployment effectively over 20%, cuts in real social services nationwide, a lower standard of education, embarrassing homelessness that makes us # 1 in that category, and growing real poverty in our communities, we need our monies invested in our communities, not on fanatical wars in places far far away. This is crazy! While our economy continues to suffer at the hands of the banksters and globalists posing as American politicians who have robbed the American taxpayer blind, we have to live with the likes of Newt and his assigns who steal from us creating havoc for the worlds peoples.
This is America 2011. What the hell does Israel have to do with our lives anyway? Absolutely nothing! What is the rational to back them anyway? Democracy? Salvation? Fear? What? How many jobs does Israel create for us? Heck, they are not even in the top 20 trading partners with the USA. Canada, China, and Mexico are 1,2,3…..get it. Invest in our future, not in fantasy!
As with poor ole Newt for Sale, well, he’s willing to go all in and take America from quasi-honest broker to all the way in favor of a Zionist Israel without regard to the millions of Palestinians who actually live in Israel proper, the West Bank, and Gaza. This is straight up reckless.
Heck, this maniac is putting Israeli’s in peril as well as Palestinians. In fact, this reckless approach puts Newt in a new strata of American politician. He’s the new 21st Century Washington guy in a suit who steals from you with his
hand in your pocket while he smiles at you and asks “hey buddy, what’s for dinner?”. Nothing covert about Newt the Con Man. Nope, he really is a con man’s con.
Now I do remember the days before Newt the Political Streetwalker. Yeah, American politicians who aspired to the presidency at the very least pretended to be honest brokers. Heck, some were truly honorable men who really tried to
aspire to justice for all mankind. But this guy clearly is NOT going in that direction. He’s a sociopath; plain and simple!
Nope, Newt, that mentally and physically obese global political whore is going 100% all out against the whole world and putting the Palestinian people on a collision course with war against the Israeli military paid for by the U.S.
Taxpayer. Worse, by proxy, the U.S. military who will eventually be called upon to pre-emptively strike against any nation that stands up to coming finishing off genocide of the Palestinian people.
Remember, these so-called “invented people” have no army, no guns, no jobs. These are NOT powerful indigenous peoples yet he wants to denounce them as “invented”, as persona non-grata, so that he can wipe them out as if they were worthless faceless human. He’s straight psychotic! He’s a terrorist!
Think about it. This psycho-garbage is coming to us from an “Invented American” Newt who’s ancestors came to America where they systematically took North America from the “invented” indigenous peoples. Yes, the same Newt that has the gall to call Palestinians “invented” is the same Newt who is actualy invented
But is that so shocking? Hell no! It’s par for the course!
This is the same guy who was mouthing off on Bill Clinton with the most horrible name calling for having his sexual liaison with Monica Lewinsky. yeah, he called for his impeachment while he, the more moral upstanding Newt, was having an affair behind the back of his wife who was suffering through cancer. Good job jack-ass! Dood, you need to get punched out!
I mean this guy is way better than any con men I have ever cross paths with in my years running in the halls of a Las Vegas casino life.
He’s got balls! This guy is the con man’s con. A hero among the psychotic predators.
On the surface, you gotta love the boldness of his psychosis. And it would be funny if it was not going to affect millions of men, women and children. I mean, heck who does not enjoy a good grift in the movies right? But we don’t like it real life do we? Hell no!
So really this is absolutely NOT funny. It’s deadly serious and this ain’t no movie. This sicko wants to be President of the USA. He’s a dangerous man.
For Israeli’s and Palestinians, he must be stopped. But much more important, for Americans, this sellout and pillager of the U.S. Taxpayer, he and his kind my be arrested and jailed before they commit more crimes against humanity.
For Newt the Atheist posing as a Christian is a direct danger to liberty, justice and pursuit of happiness; not only for Americans but the whole world. He belongs in jail, not the oval office.
As for his global sponsors? Well those dark suited psychotic predators in shades standing behind all the Newts, well someone get a fly swatter.

16th Richest Man in the World Destablizes American Politicians Who Shun Israel First Policies
Almost every major American politician in the last decade has either met with AIPAC or flown to Israel to receive approval before running a campaign. Many of America’s congressman have admitted that they consistently ask how Israel feels about a bill before voting on it.

“I have seen the footage, and I find the behaviour depicted in it utterly deplorable. I condemn it in the strongest possible terms,” Panetta said in a statement.
Now it should be noted that no other event in Operation Iraqi Freedom caught the attention of the world like the hunt for and capture of Saddam Hussein. Square in the middle of the search, living in Saddam’s hometown of Tikrit, it’s claimed that Lt. Col. Steve Russell and his men of the 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division were there. Okay, good stuff.
