Fallout From Nuclear Attack on Natanz and Isfahan. With scale showing levels of radiation exposure. Over a few days, exposure at greater than 10 rems per hour will cause death, and at 1 rem per hour exposures lead to radiation sickness.   In a hare-brained nightmare scenario dreamed up...

 There was a national poll in 2006 by OpEdNews.com and Zogby that found that most people who didn't rely on Fox News as their primary source of information believed that the Presidential election of 2000 was 'stolen' by George Bush; or, to put it contrapositively, those people who chose Fox...

June 23, 2009 Ignorance Is Strength By Paul Craig Roberts  The American media’s one-sided and propagandistic coverage of the Iranian election has made an American hero out of the defeated candidate, Mousavi.  This leaves one wondering if...

Despite the fact that the U.S. government publicly approved a CIA destabilization campaign in Iran two years ago President Barack Obama was forced to address accusations that the CIA was involved in fomenting the post-election riots in Iran during his White House press conference...

It is sincerely creepy to watch master globalist criminal Henry Kissinger call for an invasion of Iran in this BBC new clip.  Kissinger says that if the color revolution fails — and it is now obvious the protests in Iran are orchestrated by the CIA and the usual “democracy”...

Iran Falling to US PSYOPS? By Paul Craig Roberts   President Obama called on the Iranian government to allow protesters to control the streets in Tehran.  Would Obama or any US president allow protesters to control the streets in Washington, D.C.? There was more objective evidence...

A Hard Look at the Numbers by Esam Al-Amin   Global Research, June 22, 2009           Since the June 12 Iranian presidential elections, Iran "experts” have mushroomed like bacteria in a Petri dish. So here is a quiz for all those...

This video is really funny. It's a parody of Proposition 8 and its supporters by a slew of Hollywood stars including Jack Black (as Jesus), John C. Reilly, Neil Patrick Harris and Allison Janney. How many stars would you give it?

I'm sitting here wondering about Bakersfield.  I'm thinking about the politics here.  I have to admit they aren't nearly as bad as some places I've heard of.  But I still wonder.  When you think about politics in the United States, I think corruption, uselessness, money, and...

Gay

Some force in the United States is trying to demoralize the people.  When did the gay issue even become legitimate?  When did we convince ourselves that homosexual behavior is acceptable.  This is outrageous. Show me a society that thrived after accepting homosexuals?  It...

The American people sure were dooped this year.  You see, we got exactly what they wanted.  We were given two main choices for President, both of which would (and will) ruin our country.  McCain was the lesser of two evils, if you're going to play that game.  But, mark my...

I would like to take a few minutes, and type a few words, to address everyone who continues to dwell on the recent election, the results thereof, and, for some, the ensuing disappointment. Now Hear This:  The election is OVER. Yes, really. Proposition 8 was fairly passed by the...

I have a confession to make.  I didn't vote for McCain today.  I've supported him since my first choice, Huckabee, lost, and continue to support him, but I did not, I repeat, did not vote for McCain today.  Continue reading:   I didn't vote for McCain today: But that's...

With just five days left before Election Day, I'd like to share some observations from my campaign.  It's referred to as "down-ballot" because people go to the polls to vote for president, and state offices - then, somewhere near the bottom of the ballot are school board races....

I haven't been around these parts much lately being a bit busy, but I thought I'd just stop in and ask for some help anyway.  The Democratic Headquarters is packed and we've got too many people and too little space.  People are flooding our space and that's before we even kick off our...

My wife and I decided to absentee vote this year to avoid the long lines. Probably the best decision, besides voting for (insert name here), we’ll make these next few days. She filled out her ballot during the Colts-Titans game, while I was busy trying not to toss the remote control as I...

I've written, about politicians wearing makeup and I've written Prudent Candidates Need Not Apply. I’ve had enough of Obama and McCain. This election year is exhausting. It seems I can relate more with Joe the Plumber and Joe Sixpack. I can't but ponder: are they related? I wonder if...

I don't have a candidate's flag in front garden. I don't wear a shirt endorsing candidates with over-the-top padding to make my breasts look 2 sizes more busty. I don't endorse either party at this point. But I am a Social Network fiend. I live for it. I dream about social networking. Thus I...

I've been watching the Vice President debate tonight. I'm not sure who I'm going to vote for when the big day comes. I won't even disclose what party I'm registered. I can say, that I feel more confused tonight than before. As for Sarah Palin, I feel like she started the debate on a negative...

The scorecard in the recent “sign-gate” debacle is both sad and disturbing. From my perspective, it reads like this: Holy-rolling Kern High School District trustee Chad Vegas and KERN 1410 AM radio talk show host Scott Cox: 1. Media and public: 0. Only two people benefited from...

There is a third party candidate running for President who could get our country back on track.  His name is CHUCK BALDWIN. I know that most of you probably have never heard of CHUCK BALDWIN before, so I encourage you to look him up online and learn more. He's the most American candidate...

Barack Obama has disappointed me again.  His decision to not debate McCain, aside from the traditional three debates, is truly a let down.  If, as Obama said previously, it is such a great idea to have all those town meeting debates, why has he changed his mind now?  Is it because...

Obama left this prayer at the Wall in Israel. He's an amazing man. Lord — Protect my family and me. Forgive me my sins, and help me guard against pride and despair. Give me the wisdom to do what is right and just. And make me an instrument of your will. When I can figure out how to upload...

Anybody else STILL seeing campaign signs from the June 3 primary up around town? They're supposed to be down within 10 days of the election, but we've seen one at the Marie Callender's East Hills entrance (we're not sure it's still there, though) and along Seventh Standard Road coming back from...

We've learned that Kern County elections officials are going to use a loophole to expand the use of electronic voting machines in the June 3 primary. (Details below). You guys think that's a good or bad idea? Do you prefer voting on paper or via machine — or do you not really care as long...

Jacquie Sullivan, Harold Hanson and Sue Benham will all run for re-election this fall. We already knew about Sullivan, who is the only city council candidate with a declared challenger so far. Hanson told me two weeks ago that he plans to run for one last term. There were rumors Benham was...

I know companies like to give to both Republicans and Democrats, but still, it's a little jarring to see it. The Personal Insurance Federation of California gave $1,000 to Democrat Fran Florez the same day it gave $1,500 to Republican Pete Gilmore. Both are running to succeed Democrat Nicole...

I'm preparing a list of questions for the mayoral candidates on Hot Bakersfield Issues. I'll send them out, ask for answers, and print them in a future issue of the Californian (and, you know, here on the site too). We've got our ideas, but I figured I'd open it to the floor. What question would...

Is the Democratic race for the nomination so divisive that the losing candidate's voters would rather support John McCain than get behind their party's winning candidate? For a large number of Democrat voters this appears to be the case, according to a new poll released today. Read the story...
