War Tard

War Tard is a very insightful blog.  I don't say this lightly.  This guy is able to distill world events using actual facts, with colourful fucking language.  Initially, I was going to quote the best excerpts, but then I'd end up quoting the entire damn thing.






I will point out some of his excellent postings though:

The War on Iran: Phase I

Things are cranking up in the middle east. Another Iranian nuclear scientist was killed in Iran yesterday. 

Surrounded

Back in the US, protesters have to divide their time between re-Occupy, and SOPA.  Meanwhile, the US news is saturated with coverage of the Republican primaries.  The US will soon get to choose which corporate spokesman the Republicans are going to run against Democratic corporate spokesman Barack Obama.  The more paranoid commenters on this posting make a link between SOPA and its timing to mute occupy protests and dissent about the upcoming Iran war.  Hmmm.  Another poster links to this article about army hospitals being built in Georgia in anticipation.  I will keep tabs on the RT? site though.


Occupy Wall Street: Can peaceful protests work anymore?
There's lots to protest these days.  Lots.  But lots doesn't fit in a sound bite.   He goes on to succinctly and very accurately describe the various shitstorms happening all over the world.  Including the protests in the middle east.  But with the incredible shrinking middle class, it's easy to keep us 'free' people scared and 'happy' about the status quo.  This is one of his best postings.  Read it.

Kim Jong Il: Crazy like a Fox!

An excellent description of one of the crazy state members of the 'Axis of Evil'  (I hate David Frum).  Hopefully things can change in a Berlin wall fashion.  I was listening to a documentary on Radio Canada.  A reporter there explained that North Koreans 'play' the role of faithful plebes.  There are inspectors monitoring the mourner's sadness.    They pretty much have to, if they want better lodging, food, and such luxuries.

Israel v Iran: The ultimate popcorn war (Part I)

His middle east insights are filled with facts, numbers and stuff.  Just read the damn thing.
