This is now rapidly changing as more and more of us are reading, are "waking up," and are becoming increasingly more upset and angry. Have no fear... the sheeple are slowly morphing into empowered tigers.
And with you and many other writers who tell the truth? This is becoming only more and more true by the day.
Thank you for what you do to try to wake up America's un-knowing.

I agree with this absolutely, in fact this is what I have been saying all along : removing the puppet achieves nothing, it is the puppeteers you got to destroy... but that is another thing: because these puppeteers have the money, the guns and the propaganda machine. In other words, the 300 million sheep of America won't let this happen... because they are sheep not tigers, see? They like to be oppressed and tortured and destroyed. And they will be, God will see to it.

Dear Ranger,
I love your impassioned spirit! I agree that our President is not a good one. Arguably, this administration has committed more atrocities and created more havoc and devastation upon the lives of a larger number of people than any other single US President to date. And that's saying a great deal, when you consider the track record of some of our past US Presidents.
I would like to make a small modification, however, if I may? I ask this for your consideration because I believe wholeheartedly that the President is not acting alone. In fact, I believe he is not even the power behind the Neocon actions. Our President is a mere puppet, a virtual figurehead.
I would like to instead encourage your 2006 campaign to be widened to include an ousting of the entire US Regime. Yes, Regime. It is certainly no secret whatsoever that What is in power (yes, *What,* as in stark contrast with the more human term,"who") at present is an authoritarian bunch (many not even legally elected) operating outside the boundaries and limits of US and International Law.
The President has been helped all along the way (beginning on 9/11) with the generous assistance and full cooperation of not only his own cabinet, but with most members of Congress, GOP and Democrat, both.
Considered as a whole, the US government leaders are a formidable, well-oiled, and beyond-powerful Regime. I say, therefore, that we institute 2006 as the year of the lawful, peaceful removal of the entire US Regime. This includes not only the President, Vice President, and Cabinet members, but all members of Congress who have been continually voting for the continuation of both wars. (And yes, unfortunately, that does include nearly all 535).
Let's be fair here and place the blame where it squarely belongs. We must put politics aside for just a moment in order to realize that without the full assistance, support, and complicity that the Neocon agenda has received (and enjoyed) by nearly all in Congress? We would be neither in Afghanistan nor Iraq at the present time.
Certainly, impeaching the President is both necessary and justified. And it is without any doubt a step in the right direction. But to make an analogy? Calling for the removal of just the President is sort of like removing a cancerous tumor after the cancer has metastasized clear through to the bones. Far too little, much too late.
I say that instead of calling for the President's removal alone? We need to do some heavy duty treatment and go for "rooting out" the malignancy as the systemic problem it is by calling for a 2006 ousting of the entire US Regime.
Let's remove *all* of the high-paid criminals in 2006 ~ and not just the powerless puppet at the very top. In our fearless leader's own words that could have been used to describe his own cronies and supporters on *both* sides of the political fence: "They are fanatical and extreme -- but we cannot afford to dismiss them. Evil men, obsessed with ambition and unburdened by conscience, must be taken very seriously. Against such an enemy, there is only one effective response: We will never back down, we will never give in, and we will never accept anything less than complete victory."
From a November 14, 2005 Presidential speech: http://www.gop.com/News/Read.aspx?ID=5924
Ranger, I say that in 2006 we have a moral and patriotic duty to take the President's words to task and remove the entire US Regime filled with all of the "fanatical and extreme...Evil men" (and women) in power.
Impeachment that leads to the removal of the President alone will only put more power into the realm of the Vice President, a man equally as capable of doing as much harm to just as many people (some say, even more so).
The only way to stop America's decay is to dig out the very roots and start afresh with a whole new cast of players using an honest voting system and public (not corporate) "clean" campaign financing.
And after we oust the US Regime and look to hire a new staff? This time, character, decency, and a genuine concern and love for one's fellow man will be considered an integral part of the job description. And in the formation of our new and representative governing body, even penniless but brilliant, good-hearted, patriotic men and women of outstanding moral fortitude and integrity will be highly encouraged to apply.

Pass it On !
Unless you are in favor of invading and occupying innocent countries for their oil, Killing and torturing innocent people and turning the whole World against the United Stated and bankrupting the US Citizens and driving the US into a depression that will make the depression of 1929 look like a Sunday picnic* during which we will probably be invaded and taken over during our weakness caused by it.
* During the1929 Depression the US population was much smaller and people lived on farms or in houses that had a yard where they could grow vegetables to get by during the depression and people helped their neighbors. Do you have room to grow vegetables in your apartment, condo, town house ? And have you ever even spoken to Your neighbors ? !
The world can only be redeemed through action--movement -- motion. Uncoerced, unbribed and unbought, humanity will move toward the light.
Alice Hubbard's introduction to An American Bible (1912) - So now from New Zealand, here is another opinion:
In "A Visitors Impression of America" on November 18th, 2005, Bruce Porteous asked:
WHY AMERICA IS BEING CURSED?
I have just returned from visiting the USA after being in Europe over the last month. What I find in visiting the USA both shocked and alarmed me. I found a nation continuing to sleep-walk towards its own destruction.
The American people have increasingly become „dumbed down'' through their media ˆ they are becoming polarized with extremists on both the left and right proclaiming messages of hate and intolerance. Yet the media fails to inform Americans the peril their country is now in - there is a total lack of awareness of the dangers that lie ahead. People fail to grasp on the realities of the economic, political and environmental world which the USA must now co-exist in. There appears to a total lack of leadership or understanding in solving America‚s or the world‚s problems.
One of the tragedies resulting from the „brain-washing'' of the American people is in deceiving them that they are the greatest nation of earth that their way of life is the model all nations should follow. The leadership claims that democracy is the form of governments all nations should adopt. America is the „land of freedom'', yet the majority of American‚s are under bondage to an economic system that has enslaved them.
Yet many America‚s continue to deceive themselves into believing that God is blessing America. While they continue to sing „God Bless America'' it is becoming increasingly clear that God is no longer blessing America. Rather, America is now being cursed because of its sins.
Why would God curse America when it still proclaims to be a Christian nation? Clearly God has blessed America in the past - why should these blessing now withdrawn and the nation be cursed. The reason why America is being cursed is because of the rejection of the legal code given to us by God through the Bible on how we are to live our lives, and be governed.
Let‚s look at some of the reasons how and why America is being cursed today, which will shortly lead to its destruction.
War - the mess America has got itself into in Iraq us a direct result of the nation relying on its own military might and trying to resolve international problems though force, rather than having the faith to trust God to defend them, as He promised if we keep His commandments. It will eventually result in the defeat of the USA, followed by its economic collapse.
Economics ˆ why has what once was the world‚s richest nation now the world‚s greatest debtor nation. America is now totally dependent on being able to attract capital from its former enemies to prevent its economy collapsing. When America‚s former enemies are no longer prepared to lend the money to sustain the American economy will be the time its economy will collapse.
Environmental ˆ clearly the USA is now suffering the direct consequences of the break-down of the global environment. No other nation has squandered its non-renewable resources as America has done. The rejection of environmental laws God has given mankind has directly resulted in the ecological disaster how planet now faces. Yet America‚s leaders continue to live in denial that these problems exist, because the changes needed to be made would not be acceptable economically or politically. Yet unless these changes are made, natural disasters such as the recent hurricanes will continue to increase.
Law and Order - continued break-down of moral standards and growth in the influence of drugs has resulted in an exploding prison population and growth is most types of crime. I was shocked to experience people being physically attacked and beaten while in the centre of San Francisco in broad daylight when visiting this city.
Care for the needy - I was amazed to see the numbers of homeless living on the streets in the USA. For a nation that has so much wealth, it is a shock to see so many poor people begging in the streets. This one does not see in Europe or New Zealand. There is something wrong with a society that does not provide care for those less fortunate.
Divisions within American society - the opposition to the Iraqi War is now gaining moment, with public demonstrations against the occupation of Iraq throughout the USA. Unfortunately, the American people were lied to by their leaders, supported by the populist media (such as Fox News) and the Christian-right into supporting the invasion of Iraq in 2003. They have now are coming to realize how they were deceived. To withdraw the American forces from Iraq now would be an even worse disaster for the country than the illegal invasion was in the first place.
Cost of living - as inflation increases, and real incomes declined, many people are now struggling to exist. Increasing interest rates placing additional burdens of the American consumer and industry. The standard of living will steadily decline as the national and consumer debts grow - a greater percentage of income is being required to service these debts, reducing disposable income. Taxation will continue to increase as the governments struggle with increasing domestic and military expenditure.
America‚s ability to defend itself - the War against Terrorism has placed a considerable burden on the domestic economy, with little to show for it. For a visitor to the USA today one feels like one is entering the Soviet Union in the days of the Cold War. While Homeland Security is costing the American taxpayer billions of dollars, the military is being starved of resources for the equipment required to defend America.
The destruction of America‚s production base.
America became great through exporting its goods, technology and services to the world. This ability of America to produce and export competitively is being under-mined, as more resources are being diverted into defense and the military. While Japan and Germany (both high-cost producing countries) continue to competitively increase their exports, American industry is no longer able compete internationally.
The health of Americans - anyone visiting the USA is amazed with the number of over-weight people. Clearly something is wrong with the American diet. Maybe it is the hormones used in producing meat that is partly responsible. Where you have a society driven by greed, producing food for maximum profit, regardless of the consequences to the consumer, the result are a people often eating themselves to death, always lusting for more, and never satisfied.
The decline and coming collapse of the American Empire will be sudden and dramatic. It will reduce the USA to a land of poverty - its people will face horrendous tribulation. There will be total economic collapse. Money will become worthless. There will be a complete break-down in law and order - anarchy will reign. There will be wide-spread famine and disaster. Millions will die.
What was once the richest country in the world will soon become the poorest nation in the world?
Bruce Porteous - 5 November, 2005.
JACQUES HARDY'S CONCLUSION: As you can see, the cult of Satan was not so good after all. So, what do you say about simply changing it for the cult of God! Just a question, mind you! I don't know everything.
Meanwhile, it is obvious that there are lots of Americans who know exactly what needs to be done. Well guys, what are you waiting? Get busy NOW... before George locks you up. They are building new, huge prisons all over the States. Surely it is not for nothing!
Here is now the opinion of Harvey Holloway in response to my article #160- HTML - HUMAN JUSTICE - 20060109-0330 (+):
I agree that not only George Bush, but also that both Tony Blair and the Australian Prime Minister are likewise mass murderers. Do those of you that live in those three countries realize that for a few rich to steel Iraq's oil, all citizens of your three countries are now targets. Whether you agree with the war or not, in many parts of the world, just being American, British, or Aussie is and will be enough.
The fact of your nationality alone will cause some Arabs to bring bombs and kill you. This is the price forced on you. Why? So a few of your already rich can get even richer. For this the rest of you will pay and pay being killed wherever in the world you travel, just like in Jordan. Can't you see this. This is what your government has done for you.
Why not start by giving out their names, addresses, company names, etc. of those in government, or who's companies are profiting from this theft of oil, and let the other side bomb them. This at least would bring the retaliation for crimes committed to the doors of those responsible. It would also stop them doing this on fear alone.
They only want to sacrifice your lives and resources, not their own. If their families and resources become threatened, things would change quickly. This is probably the best defence for the average decent and innocent people in all three countries.
HOW ABOUT PUTTING YOUR THINKING CAP ON ??? THE TIME TO PLAY STUPID IS OVER, FINISHED, PAST... YOU EITHER THINK
