FBI Informant Behind FLA Neo-Nazi Rally

Here's a story from a couple of weeks back but I think it needs to be highlighted since the mainstream media is avoiding it...For those of you out there who think that the government is your big daddy, who think that the government only has your best interests at heart...who would never believe that the government would stoop to stirring up race hatred in order to keep the USA population in division and anger...read this story about an FBI informant who organized a recent Neo-Nazi rally in Florida.

The Future of the Press

Interesting doc over on PBS' FRONTLINE last night, Newswar, about the future of the press in America. What was interesting to me, is that here we have the same journalists, like the odious Judy Miller, who helped the Bush/Cheney regime beat the drum for war in Iraq, saying that what they reported back in 2003 was a bunch of lies. All the WMD info, reported on the front page of the NY Times -- and thusly all major city newspapers -- all the info of Saddam's acquisition of aluminum tubes to create centrifuges, EVERYTHING -- all lies. How many people are dead? How many of our young men? How many Iraqis? And now everyone is saying, officially, 'Yeah, it was a lie. Too bad.' Of course when it became apparent that no WMDs would ever be found in Iraq, the Bushites claimed that they just wanted to bring democracy to the Iraqi people. Yeah, right. Too bad most Americans don't give a rat's butt about any of this. I guess American Idol is on or something. Hey, that's ok, we're getting the world we deserve.

You can catch the Frontline episode online and be sure to check out the rest of the four-part series in the coming weeks.

Brutal, Juice


File this under things you'd never thought you'd see again. Here's a video from the late-lamented Denton rock group Brutal Juice. This was filmed circa 1995 in Dallas over by what is now the South Side lofts. The opening scene was actually shot on a street in Lower Greenville. How do I know so much? I'm in the video. I'm the guy at the very beginning who hands the lead model the religious pamplet. If you watch closely you'll see my grinning mug...
