Zombies in area… Run!

In Austin Texas someone hacked into the traffic signs and caused the following image to appear:

I predict more and more zombies to be showing up all across the country and the biggest most dangerous ones, of course, will appear on wall street and in Washington D.C.

Change to believe in

Politico is reporting that newly installed Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner issued new rules Tuesday restricting contacts with lobbyists – and then hired Mark Patterson, who was a registered lobbyist for Goldman Sachs from 2005 until April of 2008, to be his top aide.

I guess we are supposed to think that do as I say not as I do is change to believe in.

1984 now in 2009?

1984

1984


“All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way.

Very interesting article here.

All out war against Gaza civilians

In Jan, 2008 an Israeli fuel blockade stopped food from reaching Gaza. In December 2008, Israeli blockade ‘forces Palestinians to search rubbish dumps for food’. It is no wonder that when people are starving they get desperate and resort to sending rockets at their enemy in an attempt to protect themselves. Now a Norwegian doctor working in Gaza says that this Israeli offensive is an “All out war against Gaza civilians”.

The good doctor reports that a large percentage of casualties are to woman and children. “Where is the International community?” … “This is a complete disaster”.
