Hillary Clinton: the Epitome of a Failed System

Her latest purely political maneuver shows just what a plotting scheming cowardly politician she is.

(JAMESTOWN, RI) - Hillary Clinton is the consummate scheming politician who represents a continuation of representing corporate interest and caving to special interests at the expense of the American people, but many Democrats and liberals will support her in 2016 because she is “better than the alternative”.

The Militant Mystery of World War I

There was nothing at stake in this war except prestige and more African colonies.

(WASHINGTON, DC) - Boys like me like to blow up things. I was trained to place Composition B plastic explosive in bridge struts and watch them explode sky high in the Texas sun. It's fun. Blam!

Paul Ryan`s Promise for Veterans: a Load of Crap

The same politicians who root for war in the first place belong to this new movement to rollback cost of living increases for retired veterans.

(SALEM) - USA Today gave Paul Ryan a nice big page to outline his thoughts on how it is OK to make U.S. military retirees foot the bill for this country's ridiculous budgetary priorities.

The Global Elite is Insane

...we must recognise that individual members of the global elite are insane and cannot take responsibility for ending their violence.

Gohmert Discusses Merits of a Free Balochistan

Bullet ridden bodies were discovered in suspected mass graves in Pakistan's military controlled province of Balochistan.

(WASHINGTON, DC) - Rep. Louie Gohmert (TX-01) spoke on the House floor about Balochistan, Pakistan. He read an article of mass graves being discovered in Pakistan's military - controlled province of Balochistan - and the silence of US Secretary of State John Kerry.

Of course Kerry's silence is fairly consistent with most U.S. officials when it comes to out of the way places like Balochistan, the scene of Pakistan's "dirty war".
