Feinstein the Fascist

How lovely, the Senator from California doesn't care if people are tortured and murdered. The spineless Democratic party has once again shown they are unwilling to take any risk, and therefore have ensured the continuation of the erosion of respect for the United States around the world and the erosion of respect for the government here within the confines of the evil empire.

(11-03) 04:00 PDT Washington - --

The confirmation of Michael Mukasey as attorney general appeared to be all but certain Friday after two key Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee announced they would support the nomination despite complaints over Mukasey's refusal to clarify his views on what amounts to torture.

The announcements by the senators, Dianne Feinstein of California and Chuck Schumer of New York, came after Schumer met with the nominee on Friday and said he had obtained Mukasey's promise to enforce laws that banned any of the harsh interrogation methods known to have been used on al Qaeda terrorists after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Initially welcomed by Democrats and Republicans alike when it was announced in September, Mukasey's nomination appeared close to being derailed this week over his repeated refusal to declare to senators that the interrogation technique known as waterboarding was torture. Waterboarding simulates drowning and is reported to have been used by the CIA against a few top leaders of al Qaeda.

Five Democrats on the Judiciary Committee, including its chairman, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., have announced their intention to oppose the nomination when it comes to a vote before the panel, now scheduled for Tuesday.

In declaring Friday that he would vote against Mukasey, Leahy said that "no American should need a classified briefing to determine whether waterboarding is torture."

There is an article on Wikipedia about waterboarding but it seems that the Empire is attempting to have it watered down. I have reproduced it here in case you want to know the history of this torture technique, going back at least to the Spanish Inquisition, a torture technique that the United States prosecuted as a war crime after WWII when the Japanese used it. This technique is only one of many forms of torture our own beloved Evil Empire is using around the world to gain power and wealth for our elites, and the American people, the descendants of those who would not put up with the relatively benign rule of George III of England respond with a yawn. It is embarrassing to be called an American these days, in fact I consider it to be an insult and I correct people when they call me one, I'm a Californian and I want California out the United States, the Evil Empire will fall, I only hope it does not fall in a flaming disaster that takes out California with it.

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Wikileaks and police state censorship

I saw an article today on SF Gate about some nit wit Bush appointed Federal Judge ordering a website I'd never heard of called Wikileaks shut down because they were publishing some bank documents from some corrupt Swiss bank. The amusing thing is that they can't actually do it! Even more amusing is that this just draws attention to the site and makes it that much more visible, yay idiot goons! :-) There are mirror sites all over the world and it's almost impossible for thuggish police state goons to figure out how to close off all of the leaks :-) One mirror site is here: http://wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks The US site they tried to close down is still here: http://88.80.13.160 "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe,

Viva California! USA out of California Now!

Gene Veith points to a Russian who predicts the breakup the American Empire. Gene is somehow unaware of the dozens of secessionist movements in various states. Granted they are almost all small but still, they exist and this could be a good time for us. Those who know me already understand that I'm a California Nationalist who I doesn't think California should have joined those united States in the first place. Being a part of that empire just costs us money, we get nothing in return. These days we get to be hated by foreigners for being Americans and mocked by Americans for being Californians. Getting us out of the US yesterday would be a day too late as far as I'm concerned.
