The Neocon Propaganda Mill Churns On

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 hour ago
*"The preparations for Hate Week were in full swing, and the staffs of all the Ministries were working overtime. Processions, meetings, military parades, lectures, waxworks, displays, film shows, telescreen programmes all had to be organized; stands had to be erected, effigies built, slogans coined, songs written, rumours circulated, photographs faked..”.* *- George Orwell's 1984* The neocon infested propaganda mills continue to churn, not only spinning away the Svoboda party MP attack on Oleksandr Panteleymonov but in the rush to nail Putin to their cross of lies there are as many ... more »

Ukraine: The US Government is Lying about Everything

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 8 hours ago
With the cat out of the bag about exactly what type of “freedom fighters” that the US is backing in Ukraine thanks largely to the *selfie* video of Svoboda party thugs pummeling a television executive it is obvious to any and all outside of *The Homeland* cocoon that the Obama regime is lying their asses off. The fortified stone wall of bullshit that is the US state-corporate media parroting the official line on what was a neocon instigated overthrow of a democratically elected leader who had just agreed to placate protesters with early elections is astounding. It brings to mind ... more »

Our Men in Kiev: Fascist Goons Beat TV Executive

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 2 days ago
In an amazing exhibit of raw stupidity which as of late has been in abundant supply a pack of western coup d’etat empowered goons including an MP of the unelected government in Kiev burst into the office of a Ukranian TV executive and filmed themselves beating him. Oleksandr Panteleymonov acting CEO of the First National TV channel was set upon by thugs belonging to the Svoboda party, one of the fascist, neo-Nazi, anti-Semite infested coalitions comprising the recently installed puppet regime of Arseniy Yatsenyuk and brutalized into signing his resignation. This is not surprising... more »

Somebody Had to Punch the Bully

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 3 days ago
Barack Obama is going to Europe and America is going to Hell. Still smarting over the audacity of the newest devil of *The Homeland* Russian leader Vladimir Putin's pretty much telling Barry and the boys to go and fuck themselves and annexing Crimea despite the empty threats and howls of protestation from the political class El Presidente is soon to be on his way across the pond to meet with the heads of US client states over the next move. You have to give it to the man, he never gives up and never learns from his mistakes, January 2017 cannot possibly get here soon enough provid... more »

Nice Job Neocons: Now What?

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 4 days ago
Nothing can be more exceptionally American than the shock and arrogance expressed by the US political class in the aftermath of Russia’s annexation of Crimea. They are outraged, I tell you, outraged that the loathed Russian President Vladimir Putin would call their bluff and refuse to sniff the glove after they had pissed on his prized showcase of the Sochi Winter Olympics and then with assistance of fascists, neo-Nazis and assorted other anti-Semitic miscreants toppled the democratically elected government that sits on his borders. The nerve of Putin to not submit to having yet mor... more »

Obama Sanctions are All Bark and No Bite

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 5 days ago
With all of the smack-talking about bringing down a biblical plague of economic misery upon Russia unless the hated and demonized president Vladimir Putin stopped the Crimean referendum Barack Obama's sledgehammer of sanctions was as impotent as his five year tenure in office. With the once mighty US establishment and it's pocket media having spent weeks snarling like the hounds of hell themselves over opposition to their ill-advised and ultimately disastrous coup d'etat against the democratically elected leader of Ukraine today's announcement of a tepid targeting of a handful of... more »

A Narcissist Scorned: Obama Throws Another Tantrum

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 5 days ago
Despite weeks of saber rattling and threats from our dear leader *Barack the Feckless* and his bull in a China shop Secretary of State John Kerry, the Skull and Bones pedigreed stammering ass whose brief tenure has now put the US on a path to a war with Russia the referendum in Crimea that they had so desperately wanted to avoid went down on Sunday. With the third body blow to dwindling US prestige now having landed – the first two being Russia’s offer of asylum to former government whistleblower turned NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden followed by the humiliation of Russian leader ... more »

Ron Paul Calls Out Neocon Meddling in Ukraine

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 5 days ago
Retired Congressman Ron Paul has been a consistent critic of the neocon domination of US foreign policy that with the western backed overthrow of the democratically elected leader of Ukraine that come roaring back into vogue. Never underestimate the neocons, they were thought to have been permanently discredited and for all intents and purposes dead and buried after the Iraq fiasco but they are back with a vengeance - you can say that they never truly went away. Like the cockroach, the neoconservative seems to be virtually indestructible primarily because unlike the permanently ta... more »

Provocateur McCain Returns to Kiev

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 6 days ago
Senator John McCain, the man whose adoration by the US state-corporate media is second only to his proclivity to turn up as an agitator in whichever country happens to be the next stop on the neocon PNAC world domination tour has showed up in Kiev again this weekend. With the massively over-hyped imminent Russian invasion only hours away according to US and western propaganda organs - because Putin is just like Hitler you know - the pathological media whore is hellbent on working the crowds after the western backed coup d'etat that ousted democratically elected leader Viktor Yanuk... more »

*These programs were never about terrorism: they’re about economic spying, social control, and diplomatic manipulation. They’re about power.* *-Edward Snowden* When Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia briefly let the mask slip during recent comments to University of Hawaii law students it was a rare moment of openness as to reveal the pathology of the leadership class here in *The Homeland*.

Puppet Show: Obama Hosts 'Leader' Installed by Ukraine Coup d'Etat

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 week ago
In the garden variety state-corporate media friendly greeting of foreign leaders the hand-picked Ukrainian puppet Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk met with President Barack Obama in a heavily publicized visit to the White House on Wednesday. “Yats” as he is endearingly referred to by neocon meddler Victoria "Fuck the EU" Nuland has come to America, hat in hand to get the money to back his illegitimate, neo-Nazi friendly regime in Kiev. The former central banker, a bespectacled, pencil-necked geek “Yats” is the latest bagman for the global finance mafia who is charged with the task ... more »

DiFi is an Enormous Hypocrite

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 week ago
In a classic case of the injurious treatment of one who enjoys the exalted status of being above the law and therefore free to operate with impunity Senator Dianne Feinstein, the Senate Intelligence Committee chairwoman blew her stack on Tuesday morning. DiFi, who has served as the impenetrable firewall of cellulite standing between the NSA Stasi and efforts to bring it under control for a spree of unconstitutional mass surveillance and data-mining doesn’t like it quite so much when the shoe is on the other hoof. The CIA, arguably the foremost terrorist entity on the face of God’s ... more »

Oscar Puked: American Mesmerized by Celebrity as Collapse Looms

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 week ago
On Monday the putrid excuse for the media in this country temporarily cut away from the incessant smearing and bashing of Russian leader Vladimir Putin to report on the gravely important news that the latest celebrity on trial Oscar Pistorius vomited. The paraplegic sprinter, creatively nicknamed *“Blade Runner”* became just another piece of carrion to be feasted upon by the media vultures after he blew away his South African model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day last year. Too bad that he didn’t live in Florida, the diseased penis of America where he could have inv... more »

Lying Snake Rogers Slithers Out on Sunday Morning Blabfest

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 week ago
Having laid rather low as of late which is an enormously difficult task for a pathological liar of a bully like Michigan Congressman Mike Rogers it was only a matter of time until he surfaced on the Sunday morning ‘news’ show circuit. Rogers is the very definition of the tyranny of the minority in that he has been anointed the exalted Grand Poobah of the US House Intelligence Committee based upon only actually representing a fraction of less than one percent of the population of the USA. This is one of the more serious problems with the US Congress as it exists in that districts ar... more »

Meanwhile Back in The Homeland

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 week ago
With the feverish 'all-in' push for the relaunching of the Cold War the NSA Stasi is probably delighted to be out of the spotlight for the time being at least. The waves of anti-Putin invective continue to roll out of the neocon dominated US propaganda machine over at the Washington Post, the latest war criminal on deck is former Bush administration National Security Adviser and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Like Dick Cheney and Colin Powell the lies of Ms. Rice were instrumental in making the case for the illegal and disastrous attack and invasion of Iraq, a country that d... more »

Rand Paul Denounces Leviathan at CPAC Forum

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 week ago
During the annual CPAC Conference that took place in the pox on the Potomac the usual right-wing shockmeisters like Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich, Michelle Bachmann and Rick Santorum whipped out shovel after shovel of bloody red meat into an adoring crowd of low-information types while Rand Paul towered above them. Paul delivered a principled address that was as devoid of cultural populist religious dreck as it was a challenge to the crushing jackboot of Leviathan that is embodied by President Barack Obama’s NSA Stasi and the American war machine itself. Senate Majority M... more »

Putin Flouts Obama as Neocons Stew

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 2 weeks ago
In the latest episode in the ongoing reality show* ‘Death of a Narcissist’* it is almost painful to see the incredible shrinking president Barack Obama continuing to thrash about on his own hook. For the second time in six months or so he has talked much smack in leading the international law violation machine that is neocon U.S. foreign policy towards yet another crisis that despite his bellicose rhetoric and a pocket media onslaught he has no way of emerging victorious. In the late 1980's dark comedy "The War of the Roses" the divorce attorney played by Danny DeVito wisely offer... more »

Hillary Surfaces and Compares Putin to Hitler

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 2 weeks ago
With the restoration of the corrupt Clinton family dynasty looming the likely successor to Barack Obama, Hillary Rodham-Clinton has played the obligatory Nazi card in joining in on the Putin pile on. Mrss Clinton made her remarks comparing Russian leader Vladimir Putin to Adolf Hitler during a private appearance in California, taken along with similar off the cuff statements in non-public settings by SCOTUS Justice Antonin Scalia (internment camps) and former GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney (screw half of the country) it is a window into the very deranged mindset of the Ame... more »

Kerry Showboats in Kiev as Putin Shows His Missile to Obama

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 2 weeks ago
It is so delightfully ironic that in an epic battle of the comparing of dicks that Putin has now one upped the insecure Obama by allegedly test firing a Topol ICBM missile on Tuesday. Let’s just hope that for the sake of the continuation of human life on Earth that the pathological narcissist U.S. President doesn’t decide to prove that his is bigger. In the latest developments of what the western state-corporate controlled media is breathlessly hyping as Cold War II or the REAL clash of civilizations the hurricane of bullshit reached category four level with an ominous storm surg... more »

The Ugly American: Obama Throws Tantrum over Ukraine

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 2 weeks ago
There was once a time when I thought that the prospects of a Sarah Palin presidency were the blood thirsty old bastard McCain to have kicked the bucket had he beaten Barack Obama in 2008 would be the end of the world as we know it. But in now watching this current reckless administration careening around I have to admit that I was likely wrong. Palin was an abject moron but it is precisely that quality which would have limited the amount of damage that she would do in that she would have been kept a good distance from the nuclear launch codes and relegated to a purely figurehead r... more »

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 2 weeks ago
Secretary of State John Kerry, fresh off of his whirlwind tour of the Sunday morning lie factories is heading to Kiev to bolster the illegitimate western backed government that just toppled democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych. Kerry has been dispatched with a mandate from the narcissist in chief Barack Obama to ensure that the loathed Russian leader Vladimir Putin is made to lick the star-spangled jackboots of Uncle Sam for his recalcitrance in saving Snowden from one of Obama’s torture black sites and then intervening to stop the war on Syria.

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 2 weeks ago
The sound of the fury is deafening as it rolls forth across the fruited plain today. The crybaby American power elite, the at one time biggest, baddest bully on the whole spinning globe is throwing an ugly and prolonged snit over the reviled Russian leader Vladimir Putin sending troops into Ukraine to protect his own borders. The U.S. warmongers and whiners are braying today in a keening cacophony of petulant assholes who have had the grievous injury of not getting their way. The neo-Nazi backed fascist coup d’etat executed against Ukranian President Viktor Yanukovych was to have ... more »

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 2 weeks ago
Senator McCain with neo-Nazi buddy Oleh Tyahnybok During today's Sunday morning state-corporate media slimefest where anti-Putin hysteria will be the topic du jour there will likely be no questions whatsoever asked as to why the U.S. has backed neo-Nazis in what was obviously a western orchestrated coup against the democratically elected leader of Ukraine. One of the ‘guests’ will probably be the fiendish Arizona Senator John McCain, a crazed warmonger and longtime Russia hater who is foaming at the mouth for another opportunity to send American military men and women into harm’... more »

Mendacious Meddler Obama Warns Putin Not to Meddle in Ukraine

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 3 weeks ago
Those groaning, creaking and popping noises that were barely audible during Barack Obama’s hastily announced Friday afternoon White House statement was the sound of an empire of lies on the verge of collapsing under the weight of its own bullshit. The President of the most exceptional, god-kissed, special nation in the history of the planet warned the reviled Russian leader Vladimir Putin not to dare to intervene in Ukraine after a joint US-EU instigated coup d’etat that effectively ousted democratically elected Viktor Yanukovych. While Obama’s lies are dutifully and unquestiona... more »

GCHQ, the American Stasi’s overseas counterparts across the pond have just been busted for their theft and storage of webcam images and videos - including sexually explicit images - from millions of law-abiding Yahoo users. This latest transgression against privacy and basic human dignity from the Norsefire arm of the U.S. Surveillance machine smacks of the type of perverted voyeurism that in most decent societies would have the perps arrested and in more regressive ones have the offenders penises chopped off in a public exhibition of what dirty perverts can expect.

Now that they are riding high over humiliating Russian leader Vladimir Putin with a cluster bombing of disgraceful propaganda related to the Sochi Olympics and feeling their oats after their meddling led to the toppling of the democratically elected president of Ukraine the U.S. establishment war freaks have once again set their sights on Syria. Putin was the fly in the ointment that prevented Obama and Kerry from sending the bombers and cruise missiles into Damascus back in September on the pretense that Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad had “gassed his own people” – it worked to perf... more »

When House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, the pride of Virginia's 7th Congressional District delivers his annual speech at the 2014 AIPAC Policy Conference next week it will be interesting to see whether he offers up credit where due as the Ukrainian coup d'etat was accomplished with the help of Neo-Nazis , a group that should be anathema to the audience.

With last week’s crowning achievement of the Arizona legislature in passing a bill that would provide the official state seal of approval to business owners seeking to deny service to those who are gay or are perceived to be gay under the guise of protecting their religious freedom there was the satisfaction of going on up in the culture wars.

To use one of those wonderful Hitler analogies that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu so cherishes the increasingly unstable leader of our most influential ally is now like Der Führer hunkered down in his Berlin bunker wailing at phantoms as the Russian army closed in. While the rumblings that plague Bibi aren’t so much the sound of tank treads pulverizing Berlin into rubble they are much more ominous, they are the sounds of shifting world opinion. With the state of Israel methodically being reduced to a racist, war addicted doppelganger of the very land whose heinous cri... more »

The ceaseless U.S. propaganda campaign that has relentlessly smeared Russia and particularly Vladimir Putin since he granted asylum to former government contractor turned NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden and then derailed the big push for a war on Syria scored big time on Saturday. The 2014 edition of the U.S. Olympic men's hockey team beat their Russian counterparts setting off a wave of raw nationalist fervor and conjuring up memories of the Cold War era.

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul just manned up big time and stepped to the plate, filing a class action lawsuit against President Barack Obama for his lack of control over an NSA gone rogue. It is about damned time that a national political figure showed a set of stones and demanded accountability from a flagrantly out of control administration and the ongoing assault against the Constitution that it is conducting.

With our society now so saturation bombed by decades of rampant militarism to the point where everything has become a cliché that invokes combat – the WAR on terror, the WAR on poverty, the WAR on drugs, the WAR on women etc. we now should be aware of the Obama administration’s WAR on the First Amendment.

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 5 weeks ago
What has become painfully apparent is that any effort to restrain the rogue NSA and the ongoing illegal surveillance and mass data-mining programs conducted against law-abiding Americans is doomed to fail at the federal level. With each new report based on the data procured by former government contractor turned NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden the outrage grows even as Leviathan on the Potomac digs in to resist calls for accountability.

In an all too rare display of chutzpah in post-September 11, 2001 America which has been hammered home incessantly as* 'the day when everything changed'* for nearly twelve and a half years by fascist opportunists there is a growing move to pushback against Obama's NSA Stasi and its illegality. Without delving into the depths of speculation and conspiracy trafficking it is apparent that the USA PATRIOT Act was to 9/11 what the Enabling Act was to the Reichstag Fire in the terms of historical analogies.

Coming on the heels of the all hype and little substance State of the Union Address in which President Barack Obama once again established himself as the nation’s preeminent bullshit artist we were all today offered up the theater of the absurd of a seasoned liar engaged in standard fear-mongering. Obama may have been devoid of shame when he cynically trotted out wounded Army Ranger Cory Remsburg to a thunderous roar of bipartisan support for the perpetual warfare state but as has always been the case for our fine Director of National Intelligence James Clapper he is in a league of... more »

Shameless: NSA Data Mining Includes Angry Birds

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 month ago
Nothing is sacred to the NSA Stasi and their Norsefire partners across the pond at GCHQ. In yet another of those very embarrassing revelations that have generated perverse fantasies among the guilty of the murder of former government contractor turned NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden the ravenous security state monster is also conducting data-mining operations on cell phone apps including the extremely popular Angry Birds game series. In a collaborative effort by *The Guardian,* The *New York Times* and *Pro Publica *it was revealed that the Anglo-American surveillance machine ha... more »

Bush Era Goons Issue Open Letter to Decry RNC's NSA Resolution

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 month ago
Remember, remember the eleventh of September. That is the message being delivered by Bush era thugs in an open letter to RNC Chairman Reince Preibus over Friday’s daring “Resolution To Renounce The National Security Agency’s Surveillance Program”. The letter invokes nearly every bullshit talking point that Americans were fed after the September 11, 2001 attacks that were then seized upon by corrupt politicians and bureaucrats (including the signatories) and used to launch two ruinous Middle East wars and redistribute billions of dollars of taxpayer money into the national securi... more »

Fanatical Peter King Explodes over Republican NSA Resolution

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 month ago
Predictably the RNC’s resolution to restrain the unconstitutional activities of the NSA has already met with fierce resistance from one of the more deranged defenders of the fascist security state. Representative Peter King of Long Island (as well as the terrorist Irish Republican Army) exploded over the brand new “Resolution To Renounce The National Security Agency’s Surveillance Program” before the ink had even had time to dry. For a very brief time the first step upward out of the gigantic hole that has been dug for the Republican party by the likes of George W. Bush, Karl Rove... more »

If Serious, Republican Interest in Curtailing NSA is a Winner

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 month ago
Let us assume just for the sake of argument that the Republican party’s sudden interest in protecting the privacy of Americans isn’t just a political gimmick. This is after all a political party that has time and again showed that they would be willing to sell their own grandmothers and any serious proposal that comes from this entity should be viewed with extreme skepticism. But the demographics are rapidly changing and the pandering to racists, religious fanatics, cranks and outright idiots is increasingly becoming not only a recipe for losing elections but for becoming a shrink... more »

Coming to America? Ukraine Burns as Crackdown Looms

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 month ago
In an ominous sign of what will soon be coming to America the Ukranian government has begun targeting protesters through the tracking of cellphone metadata. The ongoing unrest that was sparked by President Viktor Yanukovych’s decision to reject overtures by the European Union to enter into a trade pact in favor of a rapprochement with mother Russia continues to rage in the streets of Kiev with no end in sight. The pictures and video that are put out show a surreal and twisted winter wonderland scene of fire, paramilitary riot police forces in the traditional Darth Vader regalia i... more »

Return of “the Decider” - Obama Disagrees With Privacy Board Report

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 month ago
Former U.S. President George W. Bush was widely mocked for his now infamous utterance in the course of defending Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld - *"I'm the decider, and I decide what's best"*. Bush passed into history as one of the least popular and disastrous leaders in American history but now his once immensely popular successor, Barack Obama is giving the man a run for his money. Obviously more than a bit miffed over Thursday’s bombshell report by the report released by the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board rebutting Obama’s ongoing defense of the indefensible... more »

After Obama’s Big Speech NSA Programs are Still Illegal

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 month ago
The latest blow to the ongoing national disgrace of unconstitutional mass surveillance that is being conducted with zero oversight by the NSA came Thursday morning. The government’s own Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board released a report that confirms what any rational, thinking American who is not in the bag for big surveillance already knew: that the NSA programs to collect phone metadata are illegal. Not that this is a big deal to President Barack Obama who is still riding high after basically telling everyone to go to hell in his overly hyped speech last Friday at th... more »

Blowhard Mike Rogers Can’t Back Up Russian Spy Charges

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 month ago
With the Sunday morning appearance of the two members of Congress that are the most derelict of their official duties to uphold and protect the Constitution Mike Rogers and Dianne Feinstein both accusing Edward Snowden of essentially being a Russian spy the system continues to fail. Despite these serious allegations, more likely than anything the part of a rapidly growing narrative to paint the former government contractor turned NSA whistleblower as an enemy of the state there has been absolutely no effort from the state-corporate media to confront either of the two NSA toadies f... more »

Obama's Dilemma: How to Best Kill Snowden

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 month ago
Barack Obama has a problem, with his heralded Friday announcement of NSA "reforms" being just the latest bill of goods foisted off on a doomed public by a professional con artist it should now be crystal clear that there will be no attempts to reign in the American Stasi. What Obama now has to do is to find an acceptable way to eliminate the source of the surveillance state's problems which is of course former government contractor turned whistleblower Edward Snowden from the equation. Barry's dilemma is that with Snowden continuing to receive public support - including what is li... more »

Princeton Snob Sean Wilentz's Epic Snowden-Greenwald-Assange Hit Piece

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 month ago
The establishment is bringing in the big guns to escalate the propaganda war on former government contractor turned NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. In a massive hit piece just published by liberal establishment magazine The New Republic Princeton historian and writer Sean Wilentz empties the dirty trick bag in a deranged and rambling knee-capping. In addition to Snowden - who is likely rising to the top of Obama’s kill list after El Presidente nixed NSA reforms on Friday –the author also delivers shots to journalist Glenn Greenwald as well as Wikileaks’ Julian Assange. I must a... more »

Obama Will Reform NSA Just Like He Closed Gitmo

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 month ago
The fix has always been in on any meaningful accountability or reform for the NSA under the Obama regime and Sunday morning’s state media propaganda forums indicate just how powerless that the American people truly are. Appearing on NBC’s Press the Meat were the NSA Stasi’s two biggest cheerleaders, apple pie authoritarian House Intelligence Committee capo Mike Rogers and Senate Intelligence Committee boss Dianne Feinstein. Both of whom are an ongoing disgrace to any concept of a free country as well as two serial violators of their oaths to uphold the Constitution and they gushed... more »

Chump Change: Obama’s NSA “Reforms”

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 month ago
Not that this is exactly earth-shattering news but El Presidente of *The Homeland*, commander of the U.S. killer drone fleet and overlord of the U.S. Stasi unconstitutional surveillance programs just pissed down the backs of all Americans today and told them that it was raining. The much hyped speech today on the NSA gathering of metadata on the phone calls of millions of law-abiding American citizens was delivered in the grand hall of the Department of Injustice and the bullshit artist in chief delivered a masterpiece of spin, obfuscation and long stale talking points as he doubl... more »

DISHFIRE Revelations are Opening Act to Obama’s Big NSA "Reforms" Announcement

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 month ago
In the ballyhooed lead up to dear leader’s Friday speech in which he will outline NSA “reforms” in an effort to begin to put a coat of fresh whitewash on the rampant unconstitutionality of surveillance programs run amok the latest revelation of snooping broke today. Not that anyone should be the least bit surprised given what has already been exposed in terms of the American Stasi’s frenzied spree of collecting the metadata, emails, browsing habits, purchasing histories, political views and everything outside of what Orwell referred to as those *“few cubic centimetres inside your ... more »

The Al Qaeda Switchboard: Did CIA Obstruction of Justice Enable 9/11 Attacks?

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 month ago
The arguments being presented by the defenders of the NSA Stasi’s metadata harvesting efforts, in particular federal judge William Pauley whose post-Christmas ruling erected a firewall for the activities of the unconstitutional fascist surveillance state should be carefully scrutinized. A recent article in *The New Yorker *entitled “The Al Qaeda Switchboard” poses some critical questions for arguments made to justify the intrusions on the telephone data of tens of millions of law abiding Americans. The story which was written by the Pulitzer Prize winning Lawrence Wright who wrote... more »

Financial Times Predicts Bright Future for Libertarians

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 month ago
An article in the online version of the Financial Times, “The tide is rising for America’s libertarians” by Edward Luce provides some valuable insight in that younger Americans, coming of age in the era of the abject failure of big government to do anything but subsidize Wall Street casinos, wage war and spy on everyone are turning away from the corrupt two party system. The system, now past any reasonable expectation of ever being fixed and getting worse by the minute cannot be fixed and while things are bleak for those of us who are currently entrapped by it the future belongs to... more »

Forked-Tongue McCain Calls for Congressional Investigation of NSA

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 month ago
Surfacing again on the Sunday morning state propaganda circuit, blood-thirsty Arizona Senator John McCain, the politician best loved by the corrupt media made an appearance where he routinely calls for U.S. military action. On CNN's State of the Union with Candy Crowley 'flipper' shockingly commented that there has been "overreach" by the NSA and suggested that a select committee be formed for Congress to investigate the agency. It was a rare moment of rationality for *"bomb, bomb Iran"* McCain and should be taken with the necessary grain of salt. Firstly, any sort of select commi... more »

Citing Secret Report Fascist Rogers Claims Snowden Aided Terrorists

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 month ago
In the manner befitting the defenders of the NSA mass surveillance programs House Intelligence Committee head Mike Rogers has now accused former government contractor turned NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden of putting our blessed troops in danger. Rogers and his crony Congressman Dutch Reppersberger (D-Md) whose district just happens to contain Fort Meade where the the American Stasi headquarters are located used a secret Pentagon report to back their latest media crusade against reforming the fascist spying colossus. Not only are they accusing Snowden of putting our heroic imper... more »

Chris Christie's Colossal Abuse of Power

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 month ago
Watching the presidential hopes of anointed Republican savior Chris Christie go up in flames like the Hindenburg, another gas giant that met an untimely demise in New Jersey is a well needed bit of comic relief along the daily path to the great collapse. The New Jersey Governor, long a favorite of the corrupt GOP establishment of the Karl Rove wing of the party has been brought low by the very trait that so endeared him to so many, his arrogant, sarcastic, bullying way of doing business. He enraged the so-called tea party wing with his appearances with Barack Obama last fall prior... more »

Back to Fallujah

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 month ago
The famous warning by George Santayana that *"those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"* is like pearls cast before swine in the land of the permanent war that is the Homeland circa 2014. With the reverberations from former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates’ sucker punch to the solar plexus of former boss Barack Obama now in their second full day the dogs of war are howling and their keening pitch is that of Fallujah. This is the Iraqi city that was descended upon by American forces in spring of 2004 after the brutal ambush, murder and hanging of the mutilated... more »

Media Hypes Pissing Contest Between War Criminals

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 month ago
Like the vast majority of well known former government officials Robert Gates, the Secretary of Defense for both Bush Jr. and Obama has capitalized on his gig to write a tell all book and the early excerpts have elicited a near orgasmic response from the punditry. Gates book, "Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War" firmly embeds the hatchet between the shoulder blades of the narcissist in chief and the knives are out in a media attracted to sensationalist sleaze, tabloid tales and best of all political back biting. Not that Obama doesn't have it coming, his administration's contempt ... more »

The Hypocrisy of Obama's MSNBC Water Carriers

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 month ago
Seldom discussed as a propaganda organ that is in its own right every bit the equal of Fox News MSNBC plumbs the depths of political discourse in providing a constant forum of dishonesty and hypocrisy. The network, which is owned by GE, one of the largest defense contractors of the U.S. military industrial complex regularly shills for more war albeit wrapped up in the bright shining lie of a package of humanitarian interventions. The resulting dead from the collateral damage of wars of aggression or missions of ‘mercy’ are no different and the profits reaped by GE remain constant.... more »

Insane Demagogue Peter King Goes the Full McCarthy

*"**"If we listened to Rand Paul hundreds of New Yorkers would be dead today"* *- Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King (R-IRA)* When it comes to screwing America there are few more guilty than New York’s 2nd Congressional District that continues to return the psychotic bigot Peter King (R-IRA) to his overly prominent position as the craziest bastard in the U.S. Congress. The one thing with King is that he never ceases to amaze with his uncanny ability to one up his latest asinine proclamation with yet another that is even more batshit crazy than the one befor.

Big Sister Napolitano is the Latest Ghoul to Defend NSA Stasi

Donn Marten at Carrying a Flag - 1 month ago
With the massive establishment counteroffensive against efforts to bring the American Stasi under control it was a virtual certainty that this week's Sunday morning state media propaganda shows would feature a veritable parade of Nazis to smear the New York Times, the ACLU, federal Judge Richard Leon and of course former government contractor turned NSA leaker Edward Snowden. You know that it is all hands on deck when none other than Big Sister herself, former Department of Homeland Security head Janet Napolitano appeared on Meet the Press very appropriately via telescreen.
