The Empire Strikes Back

The worst thing that happened to our political machine was the collapse of the Soviet Union. Fortunately for Halliburton and the military industrial complex, Osama came along to take up the reigns as the new Darth Vader. Then he died in 2003 and then again in 2011 and we're left with a void and a reason to enrich the corporate machine at the cost of our freedom and our children's future.

Have no fear, Al-Zawahiri is here.


Again when I read news articles like this the Neville Brothers - Sons and Daughters goes through my head:
We think we’re safe at home with our bumper stickers saying just say no
We give up a few freedoms here and there in the name of a squeaky clean America
Now they’ve got us hypnotized and hysterical, now they’ve got us hypnotized and hysterical
Screaming for blood and justice
now they’ve got us hypnotized and hysterical
Screaming for blood and justice
They show us the faces of hatred over and over, a new one every week
Could be Manuel Noriega, could be the Ayatollah, any old scapegoat will do

It’s freedom of speech as long as you don’t say too much.

You can’t stop running water
You can’t kill the fire that burns inside
Don’t deny our flesh and blood
And forsake our sons and daughters…
