We need the military to be rounding up the zionist crime network situated here in the USA. Larry Silverstein should b,. at the least, asked to take a lie detector test. There should be NO American troops in Afghanistan or in Iraq, and we should not be fighting a proxy war with Iran.

Butler, writing War is a Racket (free on line) finally realized after years carrying the can for domestic fascists- meaning an establishment of corporations rather than common interest-that, as Orwell realized, perpetual war meant perpetual profit. The Democrats came to power because of popular revulsion against the massive waste of the nation's resources, as well as life involved in two undeclared wars. Against no organized resistence,yet consuming almost as much money as WWII! The party and Obama will have betrayed the nation as surely as Stalin betrayed the antifascist movement if he fails to lead in restoring domestic priorities and stop the racket that is being conducted.
