CONVENIENT LIES

By Loren Adams - 03.31.13

A few years ago Al Gore released his movie / book aptly named “An Inconvenient Truth.” Hardly anyone desires to know the world as-we-know-it is ceasing to exist in a condition suitable to human sustainability. We’re on the fast-track to extinction, but one wouldn’t know it listening to major media or pandering politicians. Gore’s film failed to gain the notoriety of “Star Wars” or “Avatar.” The only horror/adventure movies that do sell are fiction. Human nature tunes out imminent danger – at least of the factual. Imagining myths is convenient; reality is not.

Surrender to Extremism

By Loren Adams – 03.17.13

To solve problems, one must first seek to find the root cause and then deal with it openly, firmly, and with resolve. The primary reason conflict lingers for years is because established leaders refuse — or are incapacitated due to ideology or lobbyist-induced incentive — to recognize sources of contention. Politicians know where their bread is buttered – corporate interests – and thus obey their masters.

However, the primary reason the source remains unrecognized is due to extremist views held by those in charge — stemming from mind-sets of religion, race, politics, or economic...

On the Tenth Year, Bush-Cheney Still Unindicted Co-Conspirators

Loren Adams, 3 March 2013

This month marks the tenth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. WMD were not found, nuclear components were not located, and Iraq lost upwards of 100,000 lives plus countless injuries – while the U.S. lost around 5,000 lives and suffered 40,000 permanent injuries.

This article delves into the espionage, deceit, and treason leading up to the war. The term “conspiracy” is too weak a description to cover the lies the Bush-Cheney

Impress Casual Acquaintances While Alienating the Family

By Loren Adams - 02.17.13

It was the summer of 1957. Dad drives our family for a week at Yellowstone. First sights of geysers and thermal features are unforgettable. And we feed the bears from the windows of our ’55 Mercury. “Better than Disneyland,” we reflect.

The high altitude of the Yellowstone caldera guarantees cool nights even in summer. Logs in the fireplace are necessary to break the chill. Dad and Uncle Harvey gather firewood during the day before sundown when mosquitos swarm. We are all set in a cozy cabin at Old Faithful Village.

Lucy Still Snatches the Ball – Obama Falls for it Every Time

By Loren Adams on 02.03.13

Obama’s overarching code is his greatest weakness. The conundrum is – his core guiding principle, however ineffective in building a lasting legacy, crutches his personal popularity even among policy foes. The Koch brothers can’t spend enough, Karl Rove can’t undermine enough, and the GOP can’t demonize enough to Nixonize Obama. His Teflon personality...

America in Conflict With Itself – The Suicide War

By Loren Adams - January 20, 2013

It’s a massive implosion the whole world notices except for the few combatant principals at close proximity to ground zero: Washington DC. America is now engaged in a different kind of war, an unnecessary sort, that has the potential to bring down the whole house, resulting in a premature finale to the grand experiment [as the republic was affectionately referred to since inception]. We are witnesses to national suicide in progress.

Although Barack Obama won a decisive victory in the 2012...
