My friend Palden Jenkins forwarded me the following article from the UK Observer, along with his comments on 2/20... but it is as timely as the increasingly serious political situation of the world continues to warrant! Palden is a very good metaphysical historian!  More >

 Office of Strategic Lying0 comments

Here's a funny parody about George Bush and his Office of Strategic Influence. ... Oh, and actually, the White House has felt a bit hurt about the many public jokes, so today they decided to close the office. Defense Secretary Rumsfeld's comments are just as funny as the parody.  More >

The always controversial U.S. "Nation of Islam" leader Louis Farrakhan had a few things to say about the U.S. "oil politics" and "shadow government", that few people in the U.S. right now could get away with getting into major media. He also calls for general racial and religious unity, though.  More >

"George W. in the Garden of Gethsemane"
An Open Letter to George W. Bush from Michael Moore

Dear George,

When it's all over in a couple months, and you're packing up your pretzels and Spot and heading back to Texas, what will be your biggest regret? Not getting out more often and seeing the sights around Rock Creek Park? Never once visiting the newly-renovated IKEA in Woodbridge, Virginia? Or buying your way to the White House with money from a company that committed the biggest corporate swindle in American history? I got a feeling you didn't miss much by not spending an entire Saturday afternoon assembling a Swedish bookcase -- but you should have known that there was no way you would ever finish your term by hopping into bed with Kenneth Lay.  More >

This one is very funny. It is a State of the Union Address as George Bush ought to deliver it. It is not only humorous, it is pretty obviously the way it ought to be. It is from the Contract with the Planet site, started by Ben and Jerry's (ice cream) co-founder Ben Cohen.  More >

 Putin speaks of new world order0 comments

This is from Pravda:

"President Vladimir Putin of the Russian Federation spoke of a new concept of politics, based not upon fear but upon the political will of peoples.

Responding to WashingtonÂ’s unilateral bid to downsize its nuclear arsenal by two thirds, President Putin declared that Moscow would do the same, over three phases, until a minimum number necessary for national security was reached. This should be around 2,000 nuclear warheads each, creating a strategic balance.

He declared that “Our countries have stopped hating each other, which allows both of us to get rid of what was a terror for the world, namely nuclear arsenals and other weapons of mass destruction”.

Regarding the new world order, the Russian president stated that “We do not need to frighten each other any more to reach agreements. It is not piles of scrap that create security. Security is created by the political will of peoples, States and their leaders”.

The new world order, based very firmly on the Moscow-London-Washington axis, is cemented on mutual trust, collaboration and friendship, instead of the suspicion, hatred and deceit apparent during the Cold War years. "  More >
