911 The Real Goal and the Real Enemy

Posted on September 11, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that before a person can fight he or she must know what they are fighting. To flail at a thing haphazardly is useless and opens the flailer to attack in his distraction. Once the … Continue reading →

Stop the Bailouts!

Posted on September 8, 2011 by john

Fall of Libya

Posted on August 28, 2011 by john
