When faced with a question as divisive as “is it harder to grow up male or female in America?” the tendency of most people is to protect their own. A man will more than likely state that it is more difficult growing up male while a woman will state the [...]

The late, great Dr. Hunter S. Thompson would undoubtedly have a lot – an awful lot – to say about the current goings on in the world. Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Wisconsin, ‘Curveball’, George W. Bush’s book… All of this would be fodder for a can’t-miss HST book… Or – at [...]

“All power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely” – Lord Acton In the United States of America, when the children of this generation grow up they will probably look back and wonder why nobody looked out for them. They will see that we stood by and allowed Washington [...]

This post started off at The Altered States Of Munley Author’s Note: The entire story of the Bulatov Family is long, twisted, and very confusing at times. The following article is my attempt to condense everything into a more streamlined account of the events that led them to the dire situation that [...]

From Altered States Of Munley What kind of depraved reality do we live in where twisted assassins and befuddled politicians garner 24/7 media coverage while we celebrate such a genuinely good & honest human being for just one day out of the year? Martin Luther King Jr., to me, represents all [...]

He doesn’t trust the government. He has read books such as Karl Marx’s ‘Communist Manifesto’, Adolf Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’, Ernest Hemingway’s ‘The Old Man and the Sea’, and George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’. He posts his beliefs on the internet. He owns a .9mm handgun.

While every single one of those points is true of the crazed individual over there to the left… They are also spot-on in reference to myself. In fact, the details that are beginning to trickle out about Jared Lee Loughner are so mundane and normal that they make his act that much more terrifying.

The following is an interesting piece from the American Free Press that serves as a caveat in regards to all of the hype surrounding Wikileaks. Exactly who is Julian Assange? Is he the criminal that the government has made him out to be, or is he a noble voice of truth being persecuted for telling the secrets of the powerful?

And if Assange truly is a noble voice of truth, now that he is contained & being monitored, is it possible that certain people are using convenient "leaks" to help their own cause & standing? Food for thought.

As of last night, the streak is now at 89 wins and counting for the UConn women’s basketball team as they surpassed the record of 88 consecutive wins set by the UCLA men’s team that was coached by the legendary John Wooden. There are an awful lot of people out there who feel like the UConn streak is diminished because they are women. There are the typical regurgitations of the myth that the women don’t play at the same level as the men, or that the UConn women are simply playing cream-puff, mediocre teams. Yeah… Well, all I can say is this, don’t hold it against them because they’re so much better than any team that has the misfortune of having to step onto the court with them.

From The Altered States of Munley We should croak the Tea Party because it has done nothing but bring out the worst in people, and has done more in the way of dividing this country than of fixing it. “I do miss George Bush. Compared to these teabaggers and the [...]

Now, that's more like it. I went 3-1 against the spread last week which puts me at 12-8 for the season as far as recommendations go. Not too bad, but the numbers should be better.

“72,000 Stimulus Payments Went to Dead People” I have to admit that when I read this headline I thought it would just be another fake story created to test the speed at which the “news” makes the rounds on social networks, but this is an honest to goodness report that highlights, perhaps [...]

…. And, don’t put words in my mouth. I’ve been receiving emails from readers who want to hear my thoughts on the Tea Party movement. One reader actually queried my interest in writing a post in support of the movement. He went on to say, “I assume you are with the movement. [...]

Today, Xe Services (pronounced ‘Zee Services’) has expanded through numerous shell corporations and continues to secure very lucrative government contracts. And, while the official combat mission in Iraq may be over, one has to wonder just how many of these shell corporations still have armed mercenaries embedded there under very different orders.

There is a documentary out titled, “PsyWar: The Real Battlefield is the Mind”, in which the existence of Psychological Warriors is examined. Psy-Warriors are basically CIA-trained operatives who have entrenched themselves in high profile news media outlets, such as CNN and Fox News, to help deliver the "news". They are Public Relations people for government agenda. It is their job to make sure that the public is fed images and data that would seem to validate otherwise objectionable actions taken by the government.
