No More M.A.D. Men
By Ernest Stewart

"For the first time, we've agreed to develop a missile defense capability that is strong enough to cover all NATO European territory and populations as well as the United States. The shield offers a role for all of our allies, it responds to the threats of our times. It shows our determination to protect our citizens from the threat of ballistic missiles. An attack on one NATO member is an attack on all.' ~~~ President Obama

I was in basic training at the time and I recall our platoon sergeant, who was an unfrocked marine. Actually, the change of service had come as quite a blow to him because it meant that he had to memorize a new serial number which took up most of his time.
It Makes A Fellow Proud To Be A Soldier ~~~ Tom Lehrer

"If the people knew what we had done they'd chase us down in the streets and lynch us." ... George H. W. Bush

"Welcome to volume 1 # 1 of our new ezine "Issues & Alibis." Our goal is to present to you on a bi-monthly basis America's best writers and political cartoonists, so that you can cut through the political bullshit and past the spin-doctors to the heart and the truth of the matter.

On the 1st and 15th of every month, no smoke and mirrors will stop us from bringing you your political reality, no matter how horrible it actually is. You can always deal with the truth no matter how bad it is, but you must know what it is. This is not an ezine for the weak of heart or for those who would rather have a sugar coating on the truth. We're going to tell it like it is and let the chips fall where they may! We hope you are ready for "Issues & Alibis."
An Introduction ~~~ Vol #1 #1 February 1, 2001


Still not able to face a smirking House, Barry was off to Portugal to try and buck up the fading resolve of NATO members' desire to waste their resources and soldiers in Afghanistan. Try as he might, he couldn't bring the member states back under his thumb and under our control. Seems that they, unlike Barry, are beginning to get the message of the "Destroyer of Empires" and learn something from every one else's experiences in Afghanistan over the last 2500 years. Of course, they don't have our insatiable appetite for death and destruction brought on by our Pentagoons and the military/industrial complex.

Barry did have more success with Dubya's bright idea about a missile shield for Europe with the Iranians as the bogey men. This is a prime example about how dumb the Europeans really are. Since it would be pure suicide for Iran to attack Europe, and the Persians aren't stupid enough to launch a missile into a union that has thousands of nukes which would wipe Iran off the map in a matter of minutes, it's not hard to see what this brouhaha is really all about!

It's all about destroying M.A.D. or "Mutually Assured Destruction" with the Russians and the Chinese! That missile defense systems is to defend Europe against Russian and Chinese ICBMs. Which would make those rockets useless and allow us a first strike capability and leave the Russians and Chinese defenseless! Fortunately, for now, our anti-missile missiles couldn't hit the broad side of a barn door at point blank range! They have failed time and time again to hit missiles that were constantly broadcasting their exact locations! The bottom line is it's about spending more money on another needless arms race and enriching the military/industrial complex!

Putin didn't buy the BS from Bush, and he sure isn't going to buy it from Obama, either. All it will do is to heat up the cold war into a hot one in which everybody loses! The Russian and Chinese will be forced to build a defense system of their own and whoever finishes first will be very tempted to nuke the others while the the chance exists.

M.A.D. has worked perfectly for the last 60 years as it does today and will well into the future. Iran, if it develops nukes, won't use them against the West unless they were forced to by an Israeli or American attack, and we won't attack if it means having all our troops and our battle fleets wiped out in an instant. Ergo, why don't we just leave well enough alone, while we still can?

In Other News

I see where the Marines are going to bring a company of M1 Abrams tanks into Afghanistan to level the few remaining mud huts still standing in the southwest of the country. This signals a further escalation in our unsuccessful, much more aggressive tactics, that have been employed by American forces this fall to attack the Taliban.

You might remember that the Taliban is the Afghan equivalent of our Rethuglican party. It's a funny thing that Obama can attack their Rethuglicans but not our Rethuglicans, huh? Sure, now I'll get a hundred threatening letters for comparing the Taliban to the Rethuglicans. Does anyone know how to say "sorry, dudes" in Pashto?

Some of you may recall that the USSR, as the Russians were called back in the 80's, flooded Afghanistan with hundreds of their main battle tanks the T-72, which the locals called 'Bics" for the way they burst into flames after being hit by a RPG with a copper tip and became a death trap for everyone inside. With the improved rockets that the Taliban carry with them today the Abrams will no doubt suffer a similar fate. Ask the Israeli tankers how it went for them in their last war crime against Lebanon!

Maybe Barry is sincere about pulling the troops out by 2014 by simply killing every man, woman and child in Afghanistan. Since the Taliban has no armor or artillery to attack, the only thing the Abrams can attack are houses, which they can destroy from several miles away! If their ratio of killing is similar to our robot planes ratio of 140 innocents killed for every 1 Taliban member killed, it doesn't bode well for the Afghan people. I guess we're trying to turn the Afghanistan southwest into our own southwest after a few more years of drought, i.e., a deserted, desert, empty of all human life!

And Finally

For those of you that still hold some hope that Obama will someday, somehow, do the right thing and isn't just another "Crime Family Bush" stooge, this should remove the last lingering shadows of doubt.

Even though you know by now that the reason Barry is setting in the White House has nothing to do with him being a fighter for urban causes, which was nothing but window dressing but it's because his mother and father and maternal grandmother and grandfather were all CIA bankers, spies and stooges. And since the "Crime Family Bush" are CIA founders, heads and controllers no one should be surprised by what was just announced.

Barry has plans for awarding the nation's highest honor to the man who oversaw the Kennedy sanction and that some say did the same for Martin Luther King. Oh, and let's not forget their close personal friend of the family, John W. Hinckley Jr., who Neil Bush canceled a lunch date with the day before the hit went down on Reagan. The man who almost became president by a second presidential assassination. Yep, the head of the "Crime Family Bush," himself, George H. W. Bush is to receive the "Presidential Medal of Freedom." So why am I not surprised by this atrocity? Are you surprised by it, America?

Keepin' On

How time flies when you're having fun, huh? This edition marks our 500th full magazine. The week of 09-11-2001 we put out a half edition which was more like an update, so we don't count it. Who knew back on February 1, 2001 when we first published what the future would bring?

Surely, we would have brought the Crime Family Bush and their toadies on the Extreme court to trial and punishment for their initial acts of treason and sedition years ago, not to mention their thousand acts of treason, war crimes and crimes against humanity that they committed since. Who knew?

Actually, I knew from before the start that at most I'd be "tilting at windmills." I've said from time to time that I dropped out of school because I didn't want to teach poli-sci as I couldn't imagine a more depressing subject to teach, but it was even worse than that. I knew then that there was really nothing we could do, short of rebellion, to reclaim our country. Unfortunately, by 2000 even rebellion was no longer an option.

Folks, our masters have nukes and they'll use them, so you can forget your little training exercises on the weekends. Your paintball wars. Your AR-15s and AK-47s won't stand up against an A-bomb! Of course, that won't be their first option, they'll use microwave and noise cannons, Bradleys, Abrams, Reapers and such, but if all else fails, KER-F*CKING-BOOM! For those of you who say they would never do that, I'd like to remind you that they already did on several occasions. You'll recall that back in the 50's they used U.S. citizens as guinea pigs, not just soldiers but unknowing, trusting men, women and children all died from the terrible tumors they got from radiation poisoning! They were told that it was harmless and patriotic to play in the beautiful pink snow, and they did, and they died from it! We knew what would happen from the victims in Nagasaki and Hiroshima and yet we did it anyway! They weren't even mad at those people, imagine what they'll do when backed into a corner!

So, for a number of years, we not only brought you the news, but ran a large "How To" section on how to create clean drinking water, how to create electricity, how to garden, how to hunt, etc., all on the cheap. Those articles are still available in the archives, so when this "moving paper fantasy" comes crashing down on you and your children, you might survive the coming destruction with a little preparation and savvy.

Whether or not we will be around for another 500 editions remains to be seen, but I'll keep reporting the truth to you until the grid goes down or they take me away to a Happy Camp™ for a little re-grooving!

Oh and in case you missed this, ya'll sing along with our own Mike Adams the Health Ranger, "Don't Touch My Junk!" If you visit Mike's site you can get a free mp3 download!
