FDR AND EISENHOWER SHMEARED BY RIGHT

admin — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 01:03:33 +0000

.
This BetterBadNews episode includes a rare clip of President Eisenhower entertaining friends in the White House bowling alley.

Right wing talking heads in the mainstream media have launched a campaign to rewrite history blaming FDR and Eisenhower for causing the depression and losing the war.

FDR is attacked for regulating banksters. Eisenhower is demonized for exposing the military industrial complex.

BetterBadNews wants answers:

1. Was Eisenhower on LSD for much of his second term

3. Was the New Deal better than Jesus?

6. Who designed Eisenhower’s bowling shoes?

FORMER REAGAN OFFICIAL SAYS IMPEACHMENT URGENT TO HALT FALSE FLAG TERROR ASSAULT ON US

…More

Bill Moyers, Pat Buchanan and Cindy Sheehan have joined Reagan Republican, Paul Craig Roberts in urgently calling for the impeachment of the Bush administration or expect a horrific, staged, military attack on the US as a pretext for widening the war. Martial law to follow.

BetterBadNews takes a whack at martial law, co-dependent Democrats and self surveilliance on web 2 social networks: Twitter and Pownce. If Robert Scoble or Dave Winer know of a really simple solution for countering apathy in the tech community now would be a fine time to launch.

BERKELEY MAYOR'S RACE TIGHTENS AS CHALLENGERS CONSIDER AID AND SANCTUARY FOR LOCAL WAR RESISTERS

admin — Thu, 14 Sep 2006 00:00:45 +0000

When Tom Bates ran for Mayor of Berkeley four years ago my daughter Gracie and I occasionally volunteered at the Bates campaign office to work the phones. It was tedious work but Bates was running for mayor on a promise to improve education and Gracie would be attending Berkeley High soon so it seemed like a good way to introduce a 12 year old to local politics and civic affairs.

Now Bates is up for reelection at a time when many high school age students are learning that the US military is monitoring their MySpace pages targeting potential recruits. The plight of soldiers like Lt. Erhen Watada, the first commissioned officer to go AWOL from duty in Iraq, has also triggered fears that a national Draft could be reinstated if the number of volunteer enlistments continue to decline as the war threatens to widen.

Progressive Berkeley City Councilmember Dona Spring‘s effort to pass a resolution in support of Lt. Watada is important because if it succeeds the
city will have deepened its stance against the war and candidates for mayor will have heard the message: Sanctuary for war resisters is a local issue that no serious candidate for Mayor of Berkeley can evade.

But how do the four candidates running for the Mayor’s office differ in terms of what each promises to do to aid Berkeley residents who find themselves in a situation like Lt. Watada who is facing the possibility of a 7 year prison term for refusing to serve in Iraq?

In the mid 1960′s, long shot progressive candidates running for local office discovered they could defeat entrenched incumbents by linking their campaigns to the growing anti-Vietnam war movement. The three challengers trying to unseat Tom Bates fit the description of long shot candidates, at the moment, but any one of them could leap frog ahead of the pack to win the race by generating a plan to aid resident war resisters. The massive amount of negative press likely to follow in the conservative mainstream media will win the candidate precious name recognition and the respect and trust of Berkeley voters eager to register their dissent for the war.

All candidates running for local office should be developing plans to help our local war resisters. Bronstein said she would consider it and Bates said he could think of at least three churches in Berkeley that might offer sanctuary for draft resisters.

After the Watada resolution is passed it will be interesting to see how the contending candidates for mayor propose to demonstrate their resolve. If Zelda Bronstein’s sanctuary plan implies that it is a soldier’s duty to disobey an illegal order, Fox News will be quick to demonize her as a traitor worse than Cindy Sheehan. If Zachary Running Wolf’s policy requires the police to arrest military recruiters it will enflame the right wing spin machine into branding him more treasonous than Ward Churchill. If Christian Pecaut advances an ordinance banning the ROTC from teaching
students how to commit war crimes, Bret Hume will report the story as a fifth column attack inspired by Michael Moore. Worse things can happen to a candidate for Mayor of Berkeley than to be compared to Cindy Sheehan, Ward Churchill or Michael Moore on network TV. Wouldn’t Cindy Sheehan be the next Mayor of Berkeley were her name on the ballot?

If Tom Bates sits still for too long on this issue a relatively unknown candidate, willing to be cursed as an enemy combatant on major network television, could very quickly overtake the incumbent mayor in name recognition in his own home town.

But Bates can preempt his opponents by directing the city attorney to assist in the legal defense of any Berkeley High graduates in the military who choose to go AWOL. He can direct the city manager to help arrange sanctuary for residents who may need it. Bates can borrow the UC Greek Theater for a candidates debate to consider contending plans for helping Berkeley residents honorably refusing to serve in an illegal war.

If the mayor moves quickly to identify his candidacy with a courageous grassroots movement to refuse local participation in an illegal war, Tom Bates can earn much more than a second term. He can also earn our respect for restoring a long and honorable reputation for acting locally to change the world.

POPULARITY OF ONLINE VIDEO STUNS PUBLIC WITH EVIDENCE OMITTED FROM 9/11 REPORT : DID BUILDING 7 COMMIT SUICIDE?

admin — Wed, 12 Apr 2006 03:31:05 +0000

Sudden Building Collapse Syndrome (SBCS) is not well understood. Perhaps that is why the 9/11 Commission Report made no mention of the sudden collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 late in the day on September 11, 2001.

The 9/11 Commission Report didn’t include any information about the President’s brother,Â Marvin Bush either. Marvin Bush was a principal owner of the security firm, Securecom, aka Statesec, the company that held the contract to provide security for the World Trade Center, United Airlines and Dulles International Airport on Sept 11th, 2001.

But with the new popularity of online video the public is beginning to discover video tape evidence showing that the collapse of Building 7 occurs at free fall speed identical to what happens in a controlled demolition.

In a controlled demolition explosive charges are used to liquify weight bearing joints causing the walls to collapse directly into a building’s footprint with no resistance at free fall speed.

Which may explain why traditional media outlets have never allowed the public to see video clips of Building 7 as it collapsed.Â No airplane hit building 7 yet it collapses at free fall speed as did the twin towers earlier that same day.

But the work required to wire a 47 story building for a controlled demolition would have had to begin some time before Sept 11, 2001 and that points to Marvin Bush’s security company.Â Was Marvin BushÂ sleeping on the job or very much awake?

Or did Building 7 commit suicide in an act of solidarity with the other two buildings?

PENTAGON TO TEST COMPASSIONATE TORTURE TECHNIQUES ON STUFFED ANIMALS.

In this short video podcast the BetterBadNews panel hear a hilariously twisted pitch for compassionate torture, skewering congressional Republicans, lifeless Democrats and the mainstream press for failing in their obligation to act as a check against abuses of government power.

The panel was also stunned by an astonishingly effective speech delivered by Al Gore laying out a case for impeachment. Gore called on Republicans and Democrats to pull themselves away from their TV screens and take notice of the incremental dissolution of representative government.

A liberal “political analyst” on PBS’s News Hour said that he couldn’t explain why Gore’s speech wasn’t covered in the media.

CHALABI EYES IRAQI ABSENTEE VOTERS IN OHIO AND FLORIDA TO WIN PARLIAMENTARY ELECTION BID FOR PRIME MINISTER

admin — Mon, 12 Dec 2005 14:01:33 +0000

Just how fraudulent are the Iraqi parliamentary elections likely
to be?

What is preemptive political satire?

In
this 5 minute video podcast the BetterBadNews panel hear
from an enthusiastic campaign insider about the Ahmed
Chalabi strategy to become Prime Minister of Iraq:

A
controversial law allowing Iraqi exiles to vote in the
parliamentary elections has election consultants combing their records
for prospective Chalabi supporters in Ohio and Florida.

There will be no foreign election monitors in Iraq on polling day. All
international monitors will be based in Jordan.

Officials say Iraqi forces will provide most of the security.

But US commanders say their forces will be on standby in case the Iraqis
run into difficulty. They insist that polling will take place even in the
most violent areas under their control, including Falluja, Ramadi and
Mosul.
