War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Last week’s release of the mouth-full, “The Committee Study of the Central Intelligence Agency’s Detention and Interrogation Program,” has exploded so impactful, now it’s recognizable/understood by just three words, ‘CIA Torture Report,’ or ‘Torture Report‘ for short — and all kinds of blowback side-issue shit has been regurgitated. Use of torture to create a way-false…
Deep gray afternoon here on California’s north coast — rain, too, on and off, light to sometimes fairly heavy. Today, in a library a couple of miles from Sandy Hook Elementary School, a public hearing was held on a private nightmare. Nelba Marquez-Greene, a family therapist with trauma training, who lost a six-year-old daughter in…
Ground fog, and most-likely way up in the dark, there’s overcast skies here on California’s north coast — Friday morning; and ain’t we just burning the shit right-through September? And 2014? A whole year — nearly gone already. A near-three-week retiree, I haven’t felt any time-travel slow-down either. And I do practically nothing, which blows…
An example of how way-insane the terrorism game — all CIA “lies” the most-fabled al Qaeda has lost its terror-touch (via Reuters): “Whatever slip-ups or errors (regional branches)…may have committed are limited in number in the midst of mountains of good deeds and successes,” said Hossam Abdul Raouf, an Egyptian veteran of the militant group.…
Sunny with a touch of overcast skies this early Thursday on California’s north coast — could be another start to a most-beautiful day. Yesterday turned out warm and gorgeous. Today, though, is the 13th anniversary of the terror attacks on New York’s World Trade Center, the Pentagon in DC, and the crash of an intended…
Thick fog again this Sunday morning on California’s north coast, and although the song remains the same, the tune could change. One interesting note from the 6.0 earthquake two weeks ago (today) down in Napa — an aid in vetting ground water as dry streams get water for the first time — via the San…
The late, great Gen. William Odom, in October 2005: “The invasion of Iraq I believe will turn out to be the greatest strategic disaster in U.S. history.” The good general, though, was just talking American — in a bigger sandbox, most-likely better phrased as, ‘the greatest total-horrifying-fuck-up in recent world history.’ One event, triggered after “…deliberately…
Deep ground fog this early Wednesday here on California’s north coast, and a bit on the chilly side, as we clutch our way on down through the work week. Hard to fathom the summer’s almost over, and fall is falling hard at us. History is past participle to the allusion of the future. In a…
Ground fog and a chilled air makes for an exciting early morning here on California’s north coast, and what makes this particular day so titillating is that it’s Friday! Frick, I been waiting for this. Events this week proves the US is not the exceptional place we were all told repeatedly it was, and not…
Once again the normal environs of overcast and fog for us up here on California’s north coast, but at least it’s Thursday and the weekend is near-about in sight. In less than 48 hours… Meanwhile, amongst the horrible worldwide shit spraying out from all over, came this bit of disquieting news that George Jr. has…
