Beautiful...

clipped from 30sleeps.com The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. – Albert Einstein

Harsh Realities of the 21st Century

Do you hear that?....It's the sound of fascism.

clipped from www.sourcewatch.org "Whistleblowers Treated Like Terrorists: For reporting illegal arms sales in Iraq, Navy veteran Donald Vance and a colleague say they were subjected to physical and mental interrogation tactics "reserved for terrorists and so-called enemy combatants." At least $8.8 billion of the $30 billion allocated by Congress for reconstruction in Iraq has disappeared according to a government audit (with some of it going to insurgents).

Harsh Realities of the 21st Century

We're are sliding further and further into fascism.

clipped from www.prwatch.org Military Takes Aim at U.S. Propaganda Ban In preparing its marketing study commissioned by the U.S. military, the RAND Corporation sought the advice of PR advisers including Burson-Marsteller, Weber Shandwick, J.D.
