I’d like to provide a forum where you can come to express an outrage at something you have been informed of in your daily life. As you can see, I have created some categories in which you can vent. Please provide at least one source which documents your story. I will moderate all posts and won’t tolerate any nonsense. I will be updating categories often with new outrages. Please let others know about my outrage spot here. I do appreciate it!
The Administration says “we do not torture”. So why veto a bill prohibiting torture? After years of lying to the entire world that the Guantanamo prison contained “774 of the worlds most dangerous terrorists”, they are now just bringing 6 of the victims to trial! The large majority of the rest have been quietly released. The media has been silent, of course lawsuits will follow, probably in International Courts also. If any more proof is needed that they have no case against any of the Gitmo detainees, the following news report from February 12, 2008 should suffice, “The Bush Administration asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to limit judges authority to view evidence against detainees at Guantanamo Bay”. The reason Bush doesn’t want judges to see the evidence is because it consists of a few confessions obtained under torture. In the former U.S system of justice, no longer honored, confessions obtained by torture is self-incrimination and used to be impermissible as evidence under the Constitution. We have come a long, wrong way……

I read about the resignation of Adm. Wiliam “fox” Fallon recently. However, I did not read anywhere as to the reason why so suddenly, except for the usual “family reasons”. Seemed a bit sudden and strange. Now, the determining event seems to have been that an old aircraft carrier, slated to be mothballed, was to be brought to waters near the conflict and then “false-flagged”- then the attack to be blamed on the “Arabs”. No doubt such an event can be used to suspend elections, possibly institute a draft, and bomb other countries to the stone age. Looks like Adm. Fallon may have blown the whistle. Good for him, an honorable man.

This week, the Republicrats in Washington will be giving us some money that they have borrowed in order to “stimulate” our sagging economy.
Let’s see: If we spend the money at Wal-Mart, it will go to China. If we spend it on gasoline, it will go to the Arabs. If we spend it on fruits and vegetables, it will go to Mexico, Chile, Honduras and Guatemala. If we purchase a car, it will go to Japan. If we purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the US economy. The only way to keep the money here at home is to spend it at yard sales, since those are the only businesses still operating successfully in the United States! Our elected officials are pathetic. They make sure that American jobs are now in other countries. Now this, what an outrage!

Sen. Hillary Clinton, (D-N.Y.), in her presidential campaign, has much to say on how she will “reform the mortgage industry”, which has been devastated by risky schemes that have made billions for bankers and more debt for the people. What she doesn’t talk about is how she and her husband, Bill, played a big role in loosening the regulations on Wall Street that were in place to counter this very greed and corruption! After the 1929 stock market crash, mixed in with massive fraud on the part of international bankers, Congress took action in 1933 to pass the Glass-Steagall Act, which essentially prevented banks from the schemes that caused the meltdown. That all changed in 1999, when President Clinton received a call from Sandy Weill, the CEO of financial giant Citicorp, at the time. Weill wanted Clinton to support the “Financial Services Modernization Act”, which would do away with the restrictions imposed by the Glass-Steagall Act. Clinton promptly signed the “modernization” act into law in 1999. The irony is that Citigroup now faces federal and state investigations related to fraud. There is no doubt that the Clintons are mainly responsible for the repeal of the Glass-Steingall Act, and this is a major factor in the gross displays of greed that have lead to the current mortgage bubble and the troubled financial situation today!
