POPSHow the Fort Hood Shooter Will be Judged
to heal, to do no harm. If religion was Hasan’s motive, his was an extraordinarily promiscuous view of the meaning of one’s oath to God. No officer can be, or should be, forgiven for betraying and harming soldiers. The Army will want to exercise jurisdiction over Hasan’s crimes under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. It is the Army way, and it is consistent with the authority of Article 2 of the UCMJ to punish offenses by a man wearing its uniform, against its soldiers, within the boundaries of its largest post. The civilian system could try him, but it is Hasan’s good fortune " and I will soon explain why " that it probably won’t. For those of us who play no role in Hasan’s trial, no punishment but death seems appropriate, yet the obvious justice of such an outcome is far from assured. For one thing, President Obama will have to attend and speak at these soldiers’ funerals. Silence will not be an option. How can he console without appearing to prejudge ......

POPSRacist Undertones Of The 'Socialist' Epithet
More From The Article: Take another black leader, another society fraught by racial division. In 1956, Nelson Mandela and 155 other antiapartheid activists were arrested by the South African government under the infamous Suppression of Communism Act of 1950, a law that was used gratuitously to incarcerate anyone who was critical of the government. The treason trial that followed resulted in a 1961 acquittal for all those involved, the government unable to prove any "socialist" intentions. But the political equation of black activists as "communists" would continue up through the 1980s. The Reagan administration egregiously soft-pedaled the issue of apartheid on the basis of the South African government's purported anticommunist stance. Indeed, the South African government itself viewed its policies not as racist, but as anticommunist. Only popular pressure through a global antiapartheid movement persuaded the US to isolate South Africa. It takes the cry of "socialism!" liter

POPS..and One Rumour Obama Cannot Dispel "Fact: Obama is eighth cousin to Cheney, according to research by the vice-president's wife Lynne. The two men share a common ancestor in a 17th-century French immigrant." Crikey, I think I would shoot myself if I shared common ancestry with war monger Cheney.

POPSBoomers vs. 13ers re: Roman Polanski More While the adults were out there finding themselves, getting divorced, giving us the key and leaving a frozen dinner on the counter, making movies about what demonic little baskets of evil children were, constantly reminding us that we were destined to be the first generation not to do better than our parents, building suburbia, reveling in all the cheap oil and abundant natural resources (and the healthy economy that came from exploiting them) and generally telling us what a horrible generation we were (and why couldn't we be more like that " Greatest Generation " anyway?), we were coming of age. I'm not at all surprised that it's younger artists in Hollywood who are neither sufficiently enthralled by Polanski's artistic reputation (nor moved by his Holocaust experience) to excuse him drugging and raping a 13-year-old. As a generation, we've been getting that sort of treatment from our elders from day 1

POPS10 False Flags that Changed the World
When the Constitutional Convention closed in 1787, a lady asked Benjamin Franklin, “Well Doctor what have we got a republic or a monarchy?”Franklin replied: “A republic, if you can keep it.” Why did our forefathers think the Republic would be so hard to keep? What foreign threat did they envisage as the United States’ most deadly enemy? Actually, the founding fathers believed one of our biggest enemies would rise from within: apathetic ignorance. Thomas Jefferson wrote, “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” One hundred and forty-five years later, President Eisenhower echoed Jefferson’s fear when he left office in 1961: In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weig

POPSLiving with the Wall: Berlin 1961-1989 " The fourth-generation wall was constructed from 45,000 sections of reinforced concrete, each 3.6 metres high, at a cost of around $3.6 million. The top of the wall was lined with a smooth pipe to make it more difficult to scale, while it was further strengthened by mesh fencing, trenches, barbed wire, 116 watchtowers and 20 bunkers. The heavily-guarded "no-man's land" between the wall and West Berlin would become known as the "Death Strip". Around 200 people are believed to have died trying to escape East Berlin."

POPSCrazies said the Civil Rights Act would 'enslave whites' "Death panel" craziness - it's a recurring theme in America: "the crazy tree blooms in every moment of liberal ascendancy, and ... elites exploit the crazy for their own narrow interests." "Good thing our leaders weren't so cowardly in 1964, or we would never have passed a civil rights bill," he laments, "because of complaints over the provisions in it that would enslave whites."
