Smith on TV

The extent to which the neocons are concerned about a close Congressional race in the 9th District of Washington next year is shown by Rep. Adam Smith's increasingly numerous appearances on Mainstream TV -- and probably radio -- in the last year or so, particularly on the Obamaite MSNBC network. Smith was just on MSNBC last weekend making his case for a perpetual global interventionist doctrine which he, Bush II and Obama have helped to enshrine during their years in D.C. Recently, all-but-presidential-candidate for 2016, Governor Chris Christie (New Jersey), threw his lot firmly in with the Obama-Bush neocons as he criticized also semi-presidential-candidate, Senator Rand Paul (Kentucky), who has a wiser isolationist outlook on global affairs than any of the aforementioned politicians. Yet, everybody knows that terrorism has to be counteracted, there's no debate about that, but it's counteracted most effectively in a narrowly focused way, not some nebulous, semi-indiscriminate global intervention that feeds on itself, and thus is perpetual. Despite Obama's words a month or so ago that indicated he seemed to realize a wiser course, the president is famous for making remarks in speeches that he has no intention of carrying out. Adam Smith on TV just buttresses that philosophical dichotomy.

Caucus of Shills

The so-called Congressional black caucus is one of the biggest frauds in America, as practically all of its members, with maybe a handful of exceptions, are corporate shills that do the bidding of corporations, interventionists and internationalists.  These are the same congresspersons that are some of the biggest promoters of globalism that takes away jobs and opportunities from citizens, and dramatically drives up housing costs for ordinary citizens.  But they're not worried, because their extravagant congressional salaries and perks, along with the incumbency election racket, protects them from such economic jolts as fierce competition for jobs from non-citizens and thousand dollar-a-month rents.  If every last one of them were defeated in the November election, the Americans that this caucus identifies with would be hard put to notice the difference.

Washington's Most Rightist Democrat: "Mr. Smith," a la Jimmy Stewart, He's Not

This is Not "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" by Any Stretch of the Imagination Despite a recent council campaign, I have plenty of energy to continue a different campaign for U.S. representative that will bring the people's constitutional rights to the forefront, among other matters.  The rightist Democrat, Adam Smith, will soon have to explain the stolen election of '04 (even as an unwitting beneficiary, he likely knows something), his votes for keeping the status quo of an overreaching, intrusive N.S.A. that is clamping down on the Bill of Rights instead of ensuring the checks and balances he has sworn an oath to do, his vote for doing away with habeas corpus (our right to judicial review if we are jailed) through the National Defense Authorization Act, his willingness to keep America in interventionist mode, his so-called free trade mantra that has kept America under the yoke of internationalist regimes and...

The Long Ago, Stolen Primary

The 2004 stolen primary election, regarding the 9th District Congress race, that has never been discussed by the mainline media nor addressed by Rep. Adam Smith, is still waiting to come out into the broad open, and thus to stop Smith's steady progression of becoming yet another congressman-for-life in Washington, D.C.  The rightist Democrat was the beneficiary of the election that year as a result of him facing the wrong and misapplied challenger in the '04 general election.  I actually won the G.O.P. '04 primary, but the victory was snatched from me as a result of the incompetency of then Director Dean Logan and his King County Elections Dept., which never investigated their audit log problem properly or at all.  Public officials in various places all over Washington state are aware of the '04 primary malfeasance by the Elections Dept. (not properly attending to finding out what happened to missing au...
