To UK; i.e. Ur Kweer nation. Here I was certain that Roger Daltrey wrote Summertime Blues, and I was wondering why The Who never played it and why it hasn't been broadcasted lately. Then I see that Eddie Cochran wrote it, yet Live at Leeds has the best version of it, except the final verse. So I wrote a new final verse. This should be folk music by now. Shouldn't it? Didn't the Queen knight Roger Daltrey like Sir Paul etc? Doesn't that make him a god? Wouldn't you like to honor the last of the Jesus Freak Kid's clan? Well here's a third verse that The Who might want to do!

On June 28-29, an “Open National Antiwar Conference” was held in Cleveland, called by a newly minted National Assembly to End the Iraq War and Occupation. Over objections from the conference organizers, centrally Socialist Action, the assembly voted to change the name to include reference to the war on Afghanistan, and to emphasize the connection with U.S. backing for the Zionist occupation of Palestine. (The sponsors of the confab were so right-wing that they feared losing “unity” with Democratic Party supporters of Israel and the Afghanistan war!) What did not change at all was the popular-front character of the new outfit, tying it to the bourgeois parties despite the fig leaf of electoral “independence.” Making this utterly clear, it was decided not to call a national antiwar mobilization prior to the November elections explicitly in order to court those forces who wish to aid the Democrats (and therefore want to avoid making problems for the presumptive Democratic nominee, Barack Obama). Here is the leaflet issued by the Internationalist Group at the conference. read full story / add a comment

To anyone who has ever dreamt of a world beyond the boundaries imposed upon the one we currently inhabit. To all who cringe with disgust at the thought of another month’s work to pay for another month’s rent. To anyone who has dared to notice the glaring inadequacy of this walking death sold to us as life: These words are for you. read full story / add a comment

If anyone objects to the thoughts I propose,which are based on historic events from Hitler's own life, then they should tune into the
Jewish Greg Gutfeld's own 'Red Eye' program,(for something truly objectionable),almost any night on Fox 'News' at 3 A.M. Eastern
time,to hear the degenerate Gutfeld himself say, - (often after some crude remark about some supposed Hispanic or Vietnamese
'house boys' who he fantasizes forcing homosexual acts upon) - that 'if you don't agree with me,then,you sir,are worse than Hitler.'

That's what I told some characters on webook.com who couldn't fathom what coprophagia meant. I am sure those schools teach it if these Bushes get degrees from them. How about your town? What you teach in your skools? Better tell your E-Nazis to stop suppressing that word! E-Nazis: Time Warner, Microsoft, and Google: Replacing Dr. Goebbels, Hitler's Minister for Public Enlightment and Propaganda, we have Time-Warner, Microsoft, and Google, protecting a nation of Bush Nazis, the "stupidest people on earth"!

Obama Promises More Imperialist Slaughter

In a July 14, 2008 New York Times Op Ed, Barack Obama says:

"As I’ve said many times, we must be as careful getting out of Iraq as we were careless getting in. We can safely redeploy our combat brigades at a pace that would remove them in 16 months. That would be the summer of 2010 — two years from now, and more than seven years after the war began. After this redeployment, a residual force in Iraq would perform limited missions: going after any remnants of Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, protecting American service members and, so long as the Iraqis make political progress, training Iraqi security forces."

In other words, he does not plan to get all of the troops out of Iraq and he will only get most of the troops out in two years. And what does he explain he will do with these troops? Redeploy them. Redeployed where? His rhetoric has been clear: Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran.

Obama goes on to call for a surge in Afghanistan as well as war in Pakistan:

"Ending the war [in Iraq] is essential to meeting our broader strategic goals, starting in Afghanistan and Pakistan [...] As president, I would pursue a new strategy, and begin by providing at least two additional combat brigades to support our effort in Afghanistan. We need more troops, more helicopters [...]" read full story / add a comment
