Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff –
As many other Latin Americans, I fought against authoritarianism and censorship, and I cannot but defend, in an uncompromising fashion, the right to privacy of individuals and the sovereignty of my country. In the absence of the right to privacy, there can be no true freedom of expression and opinion, and therefore no effective democracy. In the absence of the respect for sovereignty, there is no basis for the relationship among Nations. [Read more…]

Our interventionist foreign policy is the gift that keeps on giving. Is there any Middle Eastern country that we haven’t fucked up yet? Oh yeah – Iran. Give Obama and McCain time. That will be the clusterfuck that destroys the world.
15 Photos From the Tahrir Square Protests You’ll Never See In Legacy Media. #Egypt #Morsi #Obama
Curiously, a massive wave of anti-Obama sentiment in Egypt has been utterly ignored by vintage media, even though the protests may be the largest in all of human history.

You go, girl!
It is way past time we American’s hold not only the government BUT the corporatocracy accountable for the ongoing assault on our precious natural resources, our psyche and our pocketbooks. Remind me when exactly our republic turned into a democracy which is now a full blown fascist form of rule. Next step – oligarchy. Look it up. Learn for yourself like many of us have bothered to do and then tell me this is the structure you want to raise your families in. I’ll be waiting.
Cherri, we will be joining in on the Road to Washington.

Louisiana resident Cherri Foytlin, mother to six children and wife to displaced Deepwater oil rig worker Forest Foytlin, has had enough. As her family’s livelihood is increasingly threatened by financial deprivation, Ms. Foytlin has run out of time.
Beginning March 13th, 2011, Ms. Foytlin will embark on a journey that she hopes will forever turn the tide of destruction left in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Ms. Foytlin will walk 1,243 miles from New Orleans to Washington, D.C. En route she hopes to garner enough support to captivate the nation with her message of change.
Ms. Foytlin has been fighting for the welfare of the families in the Gulf since the spill first began. She has cried and pleaded for president Obama to restore the people’s faith in the government by demonstrating accountability, transparency, and support towards residents affected by the oil spill. Prompted by desperation, but drive by hope, this walk represents her final attempt to reach the administration.
“This is a pilgrimage of love for the people of the Gulf. I am taking their concerns about health, the economy, the environment and the claims process to the President of the United States. I asked him to come down at the height of the spill so he could meet the people who were truly impacted. My request fell on deaf ears, but we will not be ignored. My walk is a universal and non-partisan event; it is about preserving our civil rights as a nation, and our human rights as a global community” [Read more…]
Below is the full interview Alex Jones, Prison Planet/Infowars owner, had with actor Charlie Sheen. The interview rocked the cloistered Hollywood elite who live in a bubble which Sheen burst yesterday. I guess the Hollywood Master’s don’t appreciate their false world being pierced by the likes of a man who has simply reclaimed his personal honor and freedom – Deadline Hollywood reports CBS and Warner Bros pull the plug on number one ratings hit ‘Two and a Half Men’ for the season.

Editor’s Note: For eleven days now, citizens of Egypt have taken to the streets demanding the removal of their repressive dictator Hosni Mubarak. Today, they are protesting in front of the Presidential Palace. The people of Egypt want this man gone and who can blame them after living under such oppressive tyranny for nearly 30 years. By all accounts from reputable journalists, not the propaganda talking heads, the United States appartchik has played a rather significant role in training, mobilizing and funding the youth of Egypt to rise up and demand Mubarak’s immediate departure (see Archives of Daily Specials to read the numerous articles detailing the US involvement). Yet, when the protests heated up the US started playing footsie with these citizens lives, 300 dead and counting, rather than taking a principled position and practicing what they preach ad nauseum – “We are committed to building democracies around the globe thereby giving the people their rights and freedom.”
So why the footsie game? Could the US appatchik be stalling the removal of their puppet Mubarak for other nefarious reasons? Many “real” journalists are avid students of the history of US relations with Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen to name a few, and are offering thoughtful insights. However, few appear to be connecting the US apparatchiks torture and rendition policies, beginning in the nineties, to the current US double talk. Following are two reports: first is a recent report produced by Global Reports detailing “Obama’s block on the US Torture Probe” and, the second, a “Special Report-Obama’s gambit: Holding Egypt for Holder” by investigative journalist Wayne Madsen of Wayne Madsen Reports. Maybe these two well founded and documented reports will shed some light on the very real reasons for the US Appartchik’s current double talk.

February 3, 2011 Wayne Madsen Reportsby Wayne Madsen
WMR has learned from a well-informed political insider that President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have waffled on support for Egypt’s pro-democracy revolution in order to safeguard a covert U.S.-Egyptian rendition and torture program that dates back to the Clinton administration. In fact, Clinton’s Deputy Attorney General, Eric Holder, now Obama’s Attorney General, was the first Department of Justice official to write a legal brief authorizing the rendition of alleged terrorists from third countries by the CIA to Egypt for purposes of interrogation and torture.

Senator Warner –
I’ve known you, Sen. Warner, since the days back in Lynchburg, where you were chumming votes for your first senatorial run against the other Warner. I’ve trusted you, Sir. I’ve been to your Pig Roasts, I supported your work as Governor, and now I am expecting absolutely nothing less from you, Sir, of doing what YOU know is right for America. I will know by your votes where your loyalties lie, sir, and I can only trust that YOU will do what is right to protect our First Amendment, private property rights and our ability to grow our own damned food!
I ask you Sir to VOTE Nay on the following bills before you –
1. FCC – NET NEUTRALITY – Give the Communist administration the middle finger, sir. Vote Nay!!! on anything remotely shutting down the people’s rights under the First Amendment. You, Sir, made your millions due to freedom aka capitalism and why one, especially you, sir, would ever vote Yay for this power grab is beyond me. Make my day and VOTE NAY!
2. Vote an absolute “NO” on H.R. 2751 & FDA Food Safety Modernization Act – you and I both know, sir, this bill, as is, screws the local farmer. I expect nothing less than a definitive NO! Yeah, I know the Farm Bureau wasn’t at the table in 2004, but I was, and I then and now absolutely represent the small farmer. Therefore, sir, I expect nothing less than a NAY!!!
3. Vote Nay on the Start Treaty! What the hell are you all debating this now for anyway?!? Good grief, give us all a break and vote Nay. Bring it back up in the winter or spring session. Fine. And let’s have a true debate on the pros and cons. Don’t let Brzezenski strong arm you, Sir. Vote No!!! Show your own strength!
Whether the T-Room blog survives this mess is one story, but sir, I can assure you that we are prepared to morph into a secondary vehicle to make sure ALL VIRGINIANS KNOW HOW YOU and Sen. Webb voted during this most dispicable spectacle that you critters call governing. Pandering is not governing. We, the people of Virginia, sent you and Sen. Webb to GOVERN!

You see, Sir, I know you are on the short list to replace Gates. I am watching your votes, sir, especially on the Start Treaty b/c that vote WILL tell me and the rest of Virginia’s voters all we need to know as to where your loyalty lies.
