Why this nonsense about Russia again? Yes, Russia is NO SAINT – but there is zero “repression” on people – in fact less then in the US – I mean if you grow cannabis in Russia you’re only risking 2 years of jail, and 99% of these cases are resulting in parole, and on top of that, due to famous Russian “corruption” having a $2000 to pay immediately to the drug enforcement agents (thanks US a lot for even having separate agency for that) solves the problem.
Contrast that to the US situation. And we’re talking about some basic freedom to grow a weed in your backyard.

Now – speaking of freedom of press – yes, I see less bullshit and lies about Russia lately. That is good.

There are other reasons why Russia is not saint, i.e. since cannabis is not decriminalized (thank you the US), since our taxes are high (thank you US/IMF), since “intellectual property rights” violation is a criminal offense (thank you US/WTO many times), because they adopted harassment rules for airplane security – we’re now deprived of one VERY BASIC RIGHT to have our own fresh WATER on board the plane (thank you US/Bush/”War on terror”).

Now – let’s go deeper – where did the person named Karl Marx created his delusional theories? Was not that London? Where did Lenin and his comrades stay for years before the 1917 revolution – was not that Europe?

So – I can trace each and every problem Russia has and had – to the West. Certainly, Russia is no saint, but please find the real reasons for that statement, not jailing Khodorkovsky – when was the last time power obsessive oil billionaire of Jewish heritage sentenced in the US? I guess the answer is – never.

McCain will never admit he was wrong to take part in the Viet Nam War. Almost no one does.

Repubs may have been rational once upon a time. For the last 20-30 years they have been, in effect, a religious cult. Their very weird leaders are supposedly chosen and guided by God and their goal is to speed up the battle of Armeggedon, the Rapture, etc. In the meantime, they hope to make a lot of money off stolen oil and selling weapons.

I always thought that pro wrestling was a sort of analogy of US politics. But who would want Hacksaw Jim running their country?

You look closely and will find out that two major players are not happy with status
quo, as Isral Prez Peres just complained that they “can’t rule the world because of some religious fanatics”, always forgetting to look first in the mirror. feelgood.

I take it, Glendon Wayne, that you composed “Democracy is Leavin”, a poem for this age. Thanks for your submission.

One seconds the motion–in lieu of just standing around–bring back Freedom Fries and bomb France. “Out-Neo-Con” the Neo-Cons–it’s the Straussian thing to do. Write-in Bush and Cheney in 2008.

I say we just go ahead and vote Mccain and Palin in, drop any pursuit to hold Bush and Co. responsible for anything, and go ahead and just start bonbing everyone we can think of, and get it over with…Not enough people in America care enough to do anything about anything…Obama-McCain….the end results will be the same…Decisions that should be made wont be…decission that shouldnt will..we will continue to be lied to and manipulated…the real issues ignored…and what ever does get done will be done from one extreme or the other..The middle ground where results and action lie will be ignored…Patriotism will be used as the toolit is, fear will be created and exploited, mis and dis information will be used to confuse and exhaust the people that will suffer in the end (if they arent already). If we cannot rally and set aside part of our lives, and make some sacrifices, agree to disagree and take action…Then the bombs might as well start falling…

Democracy Is Leavin

It’s leavin in free speech cages
From the board rooms to the catacombs
From mount Rushmore to Dubai
Democracy is leavin lots of places
using excusing phrases
to trade freedom for security
to feed non stop wars
and prop up corporate welfare scores

It’s leavin with devil prophesy
on John the fallen angel
as dead sea revelations scroll on
for all the monopolies of truth to ride on
from Jerusalem to Mecca to Lhasa

Democracy is leavin
It’s leavin with flowin black robed judges
On the bankers twin towers dust
the nine eleven shredder of epic proportions
with spores and anthrax scares
and preemptive false flagged wars

Democracy is leavin from the US of A
and lots of other places
most with US bases
in the suited empire of pen twisting plunder
from the occupation in the holy land
to broken Babylon in the fertile valley
and all those poppied stan lands
where joy or sorrow hides in burkas
and the body tally of the Taliban
bleeding as in culture wars
so markets rule while profit is no fool
as the corporate divide and conquer whores
look for more marks on further shores

Democracy is leavin
It’s leavin for the War of our bread and butter
as it writes the history for it’s end
say…
Is that ‘the end of history’ or the triumph of ‘the man’?
or is it free like masons justice
or just us … the puppeteers for Uncle Sam?
and…
will end timers rejoice
from the new age corporate inquisition
can you be put to the question?
or will it be extraordinary rendition?

From Abu Ghraib to Guantanamo
Democracy is leavin
It’s leavin belly down on Enron towers
like an early frost on flowers
as more walls get built
for powers like the status quo
while the dust of olive branches
compliments depleted U and
Zionist atrocities
in the land that’s Holy

Democracy is leavin the US of A
and that ain’t all…. aeh
It’s leavin the maple leafed empire lite
and lots of other places
as trash talking media faces
speak between the spaces with bites
so trite we fail to note the bite was bought

So I guess Democracy is leavin.
Yah It’s leavin
but did it ever really get here?
