The SEAL unit, whose members formed the team that allegedly dispatched an unarmed Terrorist Mastermind rather than to take him into custody for questioning, mysteriously died in a helicopter crash when they were loaded in violation of procedures in an unprotected 1960s vintage helicopter and sent into a combat zone in Afghanistan shortly after the alleged raid on "bin Laden's compound."

The Democrats Should Come Out Swinging
The Democrats lost not because they were wrong but because they were weak. Weak in their fighting. And weak in presenting a vision for America. This is not a time to become deferential because of the rebuke from the voters. It is a time to call out the Republicans when they violate our norms, and to inspire the people with a vision of a better America.

In Every Election, a "Surprise" Victory for Republicans
Once again this week, the election was a surprise victory for Republicans. Republicans always do better in the election than in the polls. Are the polls biased? Or is the computerized black box voting to blame?

None Dare Call It Treason: Why Republicans Won
In 2014 Republicans bullied Democrats. Republicans proved, once again, they will say and do anything to win. Republicans don't care if they scuttle our democracy along with the fragile economy, to them winning is all that matters.

Republicans know how to spend the taxpayers money on BIG weapons and take money from BIG pharma and the Frankenfood industry and the NRA and BIG oil and the Defense manufacturers and other merchants of death and destruction that make up the majority of their special interest groups. But govern? Fairly represent the will of the people and the best interest of their constituents? Not so much.

Heeeere comes President JEB!
Liberalism failed because it is based on a theory of cognitions that is wrong. We never make any progress because we are inculcated in an antiquated epistemology. Social democracy with emphasis on the synthetic cognition should be the replacement.

A new look: U.S. twisted facts to pin anthrax attacks on ill scientist
The 2001 Anthrax Deception -- The Case for Domestic Conspiracy (Clarity Press, 2014) is a new book by Graeme MacQueen, a retired religion professor. Thoughtful people are sure to be profoundly affected by a reading of his deft analysis. I came across his book while researching the article below. I have not so much focused on conspiracy as on examples of grotesque misrepresentations by federal lawyers and others.

Politicians and Duplicity
Politicians garner votes to stay in office, so they must be duplicitous. If they tell the truth, their jobs might be in jeopardy. Politicians and duplicity catalogues few examples of duplicity; Ukraine versus Georgia, Fast-and-Furious versus Wide Receiver, IRA, Benghazi, Ebola, and Guantanamo. In all these cases, the scandals depend on party affiliation; not the truth.
