Does America need a psychiatrist?
The mainstream press (and just about every prominent conservative in the country) has virtually ignored what should be one of this election year's top stories: the fact that President George W. Bush wants to have every American citizen, beginning with all school age children, examined by psychiatrists. However, a couple of notable personalities, Lew Rockwell and Howard Phillips, are attempting to alert the American people to this diabolical plan.

In his Issues and Strategy Bulletin, Phillips quotes Rockwell as saying, "The New Freedom Initiative is a plan to screen the entire U.S. population for mental illness and to provide a cradle-to-grave continuum of services for those identified as either mentally ill or at risk of becoming so. Under the plan, schools would become hubs of the screening process, not only for children, but for their parents and teachers.¼

John Kerry's Silver Star
I just read John Kerry's Silver Star citation and almost fell out of my chair. Having served at one time as an "awards and decorations officer", which is an additional duty assignment for staff officers, I know full well how these citations can be colored and worded to change an "oh no!" into a "attaboy." That is what happened with Kerry's situation. He probably would have been disciplined for endangering his boat and crew, but instead, because of his political connections, they gave him what is known as a "coverup award." One of the oldest tricks in the military book is that if you have a "favorite son" or coat-tail hangar and he screws up, rewrite the reports and give him an award before he gets court-martialed. That appears to be what happened here.

The Republicrat Party: A sorry history
By nowu, anyone who has spent any more than a few minutes looking at this year’s installment of the quadrennial charade whose impresario is the conspiracy for world government knows that John Kerry (D-Hanoi) is a Communist traitor who should be serving a long sentence in Leavenworth, not running for President. So we don’t need to belabor that fact.

Regular readers of these weekly diatribes know that I support Michael Peroutka, Constitution Party candidate for President, because this year especially there is no "lesser of two evils," so there is nothing to lose. Choosing between the Democruds (Communist Party A) and the Republicrats (Communist Party B) amounts to choosing the kind of Communism you want.

OCTOBER 26

Kerry's auxiliary bishops
The presidential race is full of religious ironies, pitting a Protestant who quotes the Pope against a Catholic who rejects the Pope. The Protestant -- campaigning on opposition to abortion and homosexual marriage -- will likely get the Catholic vote. The Catholic -- campaigning on embryo-destruction, partial-birth abortion, and the alternative lifestyles of pagan antiquity -- will get the mainline Protestant vote.

In one more irony and historical marker of clerical decadence, the Catholic candidate will receive a higher percentage of support from the Catholic episcopate than the Catholic laity -- the very episcopate Kerry has made a point of saying that he will ignore on matters of morality.
¼

Vatican II church hirelings, such as Gabino Zavala (pictured right), an auxiliary bishop of Los Angeles, make a mockery of real Catholic teaching by claiming that it is permissible to vote for openly pro-abortion candidates like John Kerry.

Bill O'Reilly: Illuminati disinformation agent
Bill O’Reilly has the most popular and most powerful fluff-news program in the country. His show, The O’Reilly Factor, dubbing itself the "no-spin zone," is nothing less than Illuminati stage-show. The news reality-drama is utilized for several purposes: mind control, corporate advertising, political manipulation, social denigration, and straight-up propaganda. It becomes a comic tragedy. Bill O’Reilly has led the assault in covering up the players in the 2004 Presidential Election. He has made challenges and failed to respond; which includes daring to debate anyone who thinks the Bush regime was actively involved with perpetrating 9-11.¼

How the Anti-Defamation League controls its opposition
The Anti-Defamation League is one of the most aggressive protectors of Jewish and Israeli interests. Its name is an oxymoron, for the ADL does its work almost exclusively through the practice of defamation and intimidation. Oddly, its seems bent on protecting tens of millions of professing Christians from finding out that they are actually practicing secular Judaism, or Pharisaism, as Christ called it. They irrationally support Israel's occupation and prison wall agenda in Palestine. We Hold These Truths and this writer have recently found ourselves a front row center target of an Anti- Defamation League attack. It defamed us to obscure our message from the students, why Judaized Christians are Israel's most radical cheerleaders.

America's first Jewish president: Putting Israel first
If Bill Clinton was America’s "first black president," then President George Bush can be judged our "first Jewish president." Only about three percent of our population is deemed Jewish. In a nation of about 285 million people, that would come out to about eight or nine million citizens of the Jewish faith. But Zionism, which includes a contingent of about 20 million Christian fundamentalists, encompasses neither all Jews nor all Christians. Many of the Jewish faith, both in America and Israel, oppose Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and vehemently disagree with his apartheid and genocidal policies. But Bush and his PNAC neoconservative warmongers support Israel’s policy of mass murder and racist relocation and apartheid, and all our military and foreign aid efforts in the Middle East are based strictly upon this madness.

US Army seeks to put female GIs in combat
The Army is negotiating with civilian leaders about eliminating a women-in-combat ban so it can place mixed-sex support companies within warfighting units, starting with a division going to Iraq in January.

Despite the legal prohibition, Army plans already have included such collocation of women-men units in blueprints for a lighter force of 10 active divisions, according to Defense Department sources.

An Army spokesman yesterday, in response to questions from The Washington Times, said the Army is now in discussions with Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's staff to see whether the 10-year-old ban in this one area should be lifted. The ban prohibits the Army from putting women in units that 'collocate' with ground combatants.

Potshots at home schooling
If you can’t beat ’em, smear ’em. Apparently that is the approach adopted by critics of home schooling. One such disturbing example of a smear on the credibility of home-schoolers came in the form of the February 17, 2004 episode of NBC’s Law and Order Special Victims Unit.

In that episode, the criminal, a home-schooling mother, was shown to be a controlling, paranoid, mentally abusive woman who convinced her older son to kill his younger brother and then attempt suicide so that the boys wouldn’t become wards of the state.
