World Gone Mad

Bernie Reeves — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 10:03:51 +0000

Replacing a strong nuclear and conventional defense with cheap talk of the goodness of man; not making the economy strong again with sensible policies; Obama has set the stage for unintended consequences that can spell disaster for national and global tranquility.

Will we look back in amazement at world events today and wonder how nations [...]

Political Inquisition of CIA and Afghan War Dangerous to National Sanity

Bernie Reeves — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 14:52:27 +0000

Since the American people don't care and generally approve of terrorist interrogations, why are we impaneling an inquisition against our own operatives in the war on terror?

The elephant in the Justice Department hearing room investigating excessive force in the interrogation of terrorist suspects will be the large majority of the American public. They do [...]

Banish The BBC

The greatest danger to world security and sanity is not pan-Islamic terrorism, nuclear proliferation, Democrats or swine flu. It's the British Broadcasting Corporation.

The greatest danger to world security and sanity is not pan-Islamic terrorism, nuclear proliferation, Democrats or swine flu. It's the British Broadcasting Corporation, specifically the state-owned network's World Service on radio and [...]

Walter Cronkite’s Great Betrayal

Bernie Reeves — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 12:02:44 +0000

Walter Cronkite's greatest betrayal came after the Tet Offensive, when he stopped reporting the news and offered his own, "subjective" analysis.

Some say things haven't been right in America since the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963. I'd push the date forward a bit to 1968, the year we became unraveled with the murder of RFK, [...]

No Revenge Too Harsh For Bankers

Bernie Reeves — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 11:32:38 +0000

I haven't heard much of anything from the Trilateral conspiracy crowd now their paranoia has become reality.

The name Lyndon LaRouche started beeping out of the recesses of my memory as I watched a recent PBS Frontline program about the forced merger of investment house Merrill Lynch and Bank of America. The back story of [...]

PBS Series on Stalin and Hitler and The West a Must-See

Bernie Reeves — Wed, 13 May 2009 11:30:46 +0000

"World War II: Behind Closed Doors – Stalin, The Nazis and the The West" on PBS is a watershed event, worthy of high hosannas.

Could it be the Gauleiters of the Left – who assiduously guard the real truth about the USSR – have been caught napping? Or is the series "World War II: Behind Closed Doors – [...]

Hell Will Freeze Over Before Banks Lend

Bernie Reeves — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 11:30:14 +0000

The neighborhood bank isn't a bank in the traditional sense any more.

We are saving the banks so people can incur more debt? Is that what I am hearing President Obama saying? Sounds as if he is in the thrall of the economic theorists who reside in the cloudy confines of the netherworld where doctrine trumps [...]

Darkness Descends Over Environmental Coup d’état

Bernie Reeves — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 12:00:09 +0000

The cadre now occupying Washington has staked itself out to inflict "green" energy alternatives by a sleight-of-hand labeled "cap and trade."

Being thrust into darkness was not on my mind until I heard about Earth Hour. Homes and businesses in 4,000 towns across the globe agreed to shut off power for one hour at 8:30 [...]

Ignoring Colonialism a Sticky Wicket

Bernie Reeves — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 12:16:27 +0000

Attempting to understand the world without regard to the role of colonialism is like trying to play cricket without a wicket.

A terror group operating in Pakistan, allegedly connected to the Taliban, has finally hit a target that arouses emotions. Not a Christian church or US bases or a resort hotel with western tourists. [...]

Frost/Nixon/Reston

Bernie Reeves — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 12:00:35 +0000

Frost/Nixon makes clear that that Nixon went down for who he was, not particularly for what he did during Watergate.

The Watergate break-in and the ensuing public spectacle, culminating in the unprecedented resignation of President Richard Nixon, rocked the planet and blew in a new age of cynicism and distrust that continues to permeate American [...]
