Civilianism #23 / Bad Moon Rising

Filed under: Podcasts, Politics — shellius @ 1:55 am August 23, 2007

Bad Moon Rising
Something is wrong with our government. They seem intent on war with Iran, on defying Congress, on secrecy, RFID chips, spying, ignoring subpoenas, and more. What are they planning? The DoD’s TALON program may be gone, but it’s not really gone, it’s been given to the FBI, who is running the Guardian program, and DHS, who is running the Hostile Intent program. This all goes back to and is tied into Jose Padilla. Padilla is an American citizen, branded a man without a country, a prisoner without a legal system, a person without a crime, held forever in a prison system that is outside the law, tortured, and a canary in a coal mine to us all: This could happen to you. There are over 800 prison camps in the United States, all fully operational and ready to receive prisoners. Along with the U.S. clergy, Blackwater will aid in the apprehension of all who do not comply with martial law. There is, truly, a bad moon on the rise.

Filed under: Politics — shellius @ 1:21 pm August 9, 2007

womansoldierweb1.jpgWant proof that Bush has lied about the war? Here it is. A female soldier on her 2nd tour of duty in Iraq tells The Lionel Show what she knows and how things really are in Iraq. The average soldier in Iraq knows what a bunch of nonsense this occupation is. They are as confused as we are why we are there. Want proof tht Dennis Kucinich is our best candidate for president? Listen to his speech from the Take Back America Conference from June 18 of this year.

Also: The Iraqis do not want their oil given away to foreign oil companies, environmental politics, Republicans in California try to change the electoral vote, Democrats sell us out with wiretapping, a message from Mike Papantonio from GoLeftTV, and more.

Civilianism #20 / Bridges and Freedom

Filed under: Podcasts, Politics — shellius @ 9:34 pm August 3, 2007

Kuhn arrestIf a bridge falls in Minneapolis, does it make a sound Republicans can hear? Bridges collapsing, infrastructure crumbling, yet Republican politicians won’t raise taxes and fix things because they’re selfish and greedy. More signs of greed include telling 22,000 Iraq veterans they have personality disorders, separating them from the military and denying them their medical benefits. What is wrong with Republicans? They also start wars just to spread killing and chaos, not freedom or democracy, so that in the ensuing chaos they can grab control of natural resources.

Bush’s bizarre behavior during his first press conference with Prime Minister Gordon Brown should be grounds enough for a finding of a pre-existing personality disorder. Can we separate him from the U.S. government?

Jeff of the podcast GOP Exposed called in a long voicemail about slavery and his theory as to why we invade other countries.
Then I discuss the occupation of Iraq. We have to end our involvement in Iraq as soon as possible and remain dedicated to that.
This podcast also plays a portion of the Jon Elliot radio show featuring the story of Mark and Deborah Kuhn, who had an unfortunate run-in with the law concerning their American flag. Their story includes a strange encounter with an Iraq war veteran.

The Buncombe County Sheriff’s Office arrested activists Mark and Deborah Kuhn in West Asheville Wednesday morning after a complaint that the couple was desecrating an American flag. They say a deputy invaded their home and used excessive force.
