Former CBS News president Richard Salant (1961 - 64 and 1966 - 79) explained the major media's role: "Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have." ...and to this very day most Americans haven't noticed they're being brained washed! ~ N. Hooben

TURKEY IS WAKING UP; AMERICANS ARE turkeys
"Independents Circumvent The Threshold"
The headline above is not one you would find on any American front page…but it very well could be if the American people would start facing realty.
From almost halfway around the world the story begins:
“The forces of history hit Turkey with two fists in yesterday's general elections: First the landslide Justice and Development Party (AKP) victory and then scores of “independent” candidates who managed to get into Parliament.”
The thing that struck me (besides the two fists mentioned above) was the “scores of independents who managed to get into Parliament.”
Taking a line from former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Paul Craig Roberts, “Americans are being brainwashed.” He also said on a recent radio show, “We’re really not very bright.”
Combined those two quotes with the media controlled direction of the current election charade in America you can sum them up into one word, “turkey” (as in stupid as a turkey).
Yes, indeed, the American voters are stupid! If they were smart and could really face reality then we might see scores of independents managing to get into Washington.
As we continue with the story from the Turkish Daily News:
“This wave of independent candidates is a first in Turkish history and testifies to an undeniable fact: The 10 percent national threshold in the election system is unsustainable. Indeed, if the threshold was 5 percent – or less, as in many European countries – the Democrat Party (DP), which got 5.39 percent of the vote, or even the Young Party (GP) with 3 percent, would have been represented in Parliament. In a country with more than 42 million voters, the total votes for these two parties amount to nearly 1.9 million. And that amounts to a population almost exactly equal to Slovenia's that have been disenfranchised, left without parliamentary representation. That alone gives an idea on the limits of Turkish democracy. ”
Now if only American would wake up, the headlines of tomorrow would be a re-print from Turkey, “The Democratic Party got 5.39 percent of the vote!”

Op-Ed: Yes, The President Did Lie
Note: Crossed Posted From Digital Journal - Author:SnooperAs most know, there have been allegations that the President of the United States lied and thousands died. I am now of that same mindset and here is why. The country was misled and the man should be impeached. For what, I have no idea.
_____
As far as I know, there is no law against lying except for perjury in a court of law or legal depositions or when filling out fraudulent police reports.
I am saddened by this development but, it is what it is and if any President lied like this, who then, can be trusted. Where did he get his information from and what did he know and when did he know it? What was the motivation? Where was the use of force authorization? Were was the "declared war" by Congress?
Yes indeed. America was led down the primrose path of self-destruction and the only way out is to apologize to the world, destroy our Founding Documents and shred the United States Constitution and adapt the Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto and fully implement the same. President Bill Clinton should be either behind bars or in political exile at the moment using the same "logic" of the alleged anti-war organizations. But, that is neither here nor there. The point is, President Clinton did not lie and neither did President Bush. If President Bush lied, so did President Clinton and so did the leaders of both Administrations as can be seen in this video here.
The Iraq War Resolution seems to be set aside because it is too hurtful for the Democrat Party Leadership to admit that their whole ruse of "Bush lied" in 2006 and 2007 was for political gain and political gain only. This is why in 2008, the War In Iraq is a political non-issue.
For Barak Obama to declare that the war was wrong from the start shows his inability to protect this country from foreign enemies…he cannot protect us from domestic enemies either because by his very Marxist ways, he is a domestic enemy of the Constitution of the United States. Is it any wonder that the Iranian Regime endorses Obama?
The very few instances that the War In Iraq gets brought up in debates or Sunday News Shows, the issue is quickly, as soon as possible, set aside and the topic is changed. Why are the Democrat aspirants to the White House so terribly afraid of the subject? And, why do they invent more issues, such as "recession", to distract from the War In Iraq which was just all so important last year and the year before that?
And what change do they wish to bring to the USA? Did they not run on that very platform prior to the last election? They want to bring more of the same? No thanks. We have seen their definition of change and it was rejected time and again last year. Only the easily led and the over emotional can be swayed by such double-talk.
Hopefully, this election, the rational will arise to the occasion and defeat the Party of Defeatism and Marxism...the Socialist Democrat Party. Who are the "liars" here? Americans would also like to know why the War In Iraq is not a campaign issue...now.

Good-bye Ole Friend
It’s raining here in Alabama today…both outside and inside. The drops from the skies are also dripping from our eyes. We lost a close friend today but maybe that was for the good…he was in pain, but pain no more…He was a good ole boy…and he gave us much joy. I remember the day just a little over eight years ago (October 29, 1999) as if it were today, the day before he was scheduled to go…to go were I’m sure he did not want to…the humane place was overcrowded that day and he was happy to see us break that scheduled event.
He thanked us in so many ways. We had much fun frolicking around the farm in Norton and the carefree jaunts along the Atlantic beach. Oh, and those car rides, they were great, we even saw a rainbow together…over the falls of one the locks along the New York canals. Then there were the trips to Florida and everywhere in between. Yes, it is a long way from Sterling, Massachusetts the home of his would-be grave. Ah and yes again, that’s where he got his name, Stirling…don’t worry about the spelling, we thought the Scottish version was more appropriate.
We had our last words together as he looked at us with those big brown eyes, but he knew and we knew that it was time to go…he was rescheduled for that broken appointment of eight years ago…today, January 19, 2008. Good-bye ole friend…we miss you dearly.
__________________________
ps: To Jeannie HebertThank you very much for introducing us to Stirling...
Stirling thanks you too...

The Last Battle
If it should be that I grow frail and weak,
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then you will do what must be done,
For this--the last battle--can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief stay your hand,
For on this day, more than rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
And they are reflected in your tears.
You wouldn't want me to suffer so,
When the time comes, please let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend
Only stay with me till the end.
And hold me firm and speak to me,
Until me eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree,
It is a kindness you do for me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you,
Who has to decide this thing to do...
We've been so close - we two - these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

We're having a bad week here in Alabama...it's raining here today; outside and inside...again!
Bandit was a stray that showed up on our farm in Norton, Massachusetts some years ago...we took him in and as we loved him, he loved us.
We never knew just how old he was but as he aged, so did his health. He passed away today...not in so much pain...for he succumbed while under anesthesia at the veterinary hospital...they did what they could and then they called...as I said, "We are having a bad week here in Alabama." Just last Saturday we lost our friend Stirling...and now we have just two, Julius and Peanut, both felines...oh and lets not forget Penny, an equine also rescued...

RedState.com WAKE UP!
By Norman E. Hooben
Why would Redstate welcome someone with known ties to a New World Order? Lawrence Eagleburger, a career diplomat is a member of the CFR (Council of Foreign Relations) an organization beset on destroying the sovereignty of the United States of America.
The intent of Mr. Eagleburger’s article “Leadership In War Time” is to promote support for John McCain for the presidency. This proclamation has been carefully prepared in an attempt to nominate the most likely loser to Hillary Clinton.
As much respect that I have for Senator McCain (I was in Saigon when he was in Hanoi) he is not cut out for the office for which he seeks. He is by no means a Constitutionalist. McCain-Feingold will attest to that. But lets get on with Eagleburger.
The former Acting Secretary of State brags about his “good fortune” of his association with “a brilliant Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger”. Brilliant! Has anyone one ever heard Henry Kissinger say anything intelligent? Both Eagleburger and I know that Kissinger is a snitch for the New York Times; another Brave New World wannabe. (Hedrick Smith, a former correspondent for the Times, admits to their world order global agenda. Page xx at the introduction to his book, The New Russians” – paperback edition Avon Books 1990-1991). Eagleburger was appointed Acting Secretary by President George Herbert Walker Bush the new found friend of the faux-President Clinton. Both Bush and Clinton not only supported NAFTA but are ardent supporters on the New World Order. Recall the statement by Herbert Walker Bush, “If the American people knew what we just did they would hang us from a lamppost.” I don’t see Eagleburger looking for any lampposts.
So there you have it, Redstate.com welcomes a traitor from within. The other CFR member who tried to influence conservatives on Redstate was a guy by the name of Hamilton (forgot his first name, it may have been Edward or Michael) a CFR member since 1992. Hamilton was trying to gain support for the Law Of The Sea Treaty (LOST), or was it the Security and Prosperity Agreement (SPP), in either case, a definite end to our sovereignty.
