They had just fought a long and desperate war to free themselves from King George, who could dissolve the parliament at will, dictate the fate of anyone in his far-flung empire, and was also known to be a bit nuts. populist Mon, 05 Feb 2007 18:39:20 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/demofascists_at_the_helm Ignorance of what the national govt actually does is so pervasive that bought-out, sold-out fascist nobodies such as Nancy Pelosi and John Conyers can say that Bush's impeachment is "off the table", and the servile say, "Uh-huh, uh-huh, well, if you guys think so, then that's how our great democratic government should work". populist Sun, 26 Nov 2006 23:48:12 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/hell_awaits_america While the corporate media entities manipulate consumers, exercise a virtual monopoly on the flow of information, rewrite history to suit political agendas, unduly influence the outcome of elections, & perform a myriad of other tasks to advance the interests of those in power, the image of the US as a benevolent beacon of democracy is fading... populist Sat, 04 Nov 2006 19:19:30 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/how_the_federal_reserve_runs_the_us___part_ii It's commonly but falsely believed the Federal Reserve System is a function of government and subject to its control. False. It's often referred to as a quasi-governmental, decentralized central bank, but that's just cover to disguise what, in fact, it really is: a privately held and operated cartel made to look like the government is in charge. populist Fri, 10 Nov 2006 23:54:27 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/its_not_just_bush_were_accountable_too Blaming everything on a handful of people at the top, no matter how destructive and abusive they've been, misses a critical point. Systems tend to self-perpetuate. Remove one player and the next comes in to ensure business as usual. populist Sat, 16 Dec 2006 08:36:03 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/pax_romana The military, which was once used to protect the nation against attack by a foreign power is now an arm of the Empire, fighting pre-emptive wars to increase the wealth of the elite and to expand the Empire's hegemony. Gradually, the people being held down by the Empire are fighting back and the losses are horrible and tragic. populist Wed, 25 Oct 2006 18:35:47 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/political_power_and_its_peddlers The peddlers in the trade of political power, so audacious, ambitious, rapacious, and criminal, have no principled position on any common affair, pandering to every interest group and political issue as it suits their political gains. Most shocking of all is their allegation that right is in favor of their wicked trade. populist Mon, 09 Jul 2007 14:21:55 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/the_american_crusades__preamble Hegel hit a bull's-eye when he proclaimed that "peoples and governments never have learned anything from history". An even more difficult task when those at the helm of government have never even read a history book. populist Fri, 27 Oct 2006 18:50:30 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/the_bush_coup_detat George Bush won the presidency promising "limited government," reading the Constitution literally, & rejecting "nation-building" - imposing pro-American governments on foreign nations. But, once in office, he produced a federal budget limited by nothing. And he's making the Constitution an instrument of his own power populist Mon, 04 Dec 2006 17:59:35 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/the_patriot_act_another_bridge_for_the_new_world_order War and the drive for absolute power sometimes can cause seemingly law abiding people and leaders to betray their higher ideals that they once held so dear for lesser achievements and rewards. populist Tue, 17 Jul 2007 14:51:25 GMT
