Rising Results

(In response to "Major League" in the 2011 Spring Thing of Urban Tulsa Weekly)

Thank you so much for the great article. It was so awesome to see and read. Tell Jonathan, great photos. I really appreciate you doing this. We have nearly 200 kids and 20 teams in North Tulsa Baseball with majority of the kids have never played baseball before. Thank you so much.

Promising Outlook

Beholder's Eye

(In response to "Graduation Invitation" in the March 31-April 6 issue of the Urban Tulsa Weekly)

Well written, Libby. Thanks for taking the time! Your line "The burden of being an artist is contained within the ceaseless desire to create, regardless of resources, time and logic." is spot-on! It is something very true for every artist, whether they be in the studio, or creating an environment like Living ArtSpace.

The creative process is always being questioned and being asked to compromise from every angle. And we are just making a stand for real art ways. Thanks for the time you've given. Good art writers are very important people to the success of programs like this - especially in an environment that becomes more and more interested in the obvious.

Foreign Relations

(In response to "The Liberation of Libya" in the March 31-April 6 issue of the Urban Tulsa Weekly)

Obama's criminal war in Libya is just the latest adventurous incursion by the world's leading hegemon and its complaisant and compliant NATO lackeys.

Old Right libertarian Garrett predicted this on-going egregious course of action when another Democratic president, Harry Truman, launched his unconstitutional, unconscionable intervention on the Korean peninsula over 60 years ago.

Leaders at the helm of the welfare-warfare state may come and go, but its essential criminal nature as a vehicle of exploitation and ruthless aggression has not changed in these six decades.

The spurious bipartisan War Party has remained in power and mastery all these years.

All good market anarchists (such as the lucid author of this article) as well as all other honest and candid political observers know "War is the health of the State."

The concept of the State is the greatest criminal conspiracy ever perpetuated upon humanity. All States originate in conquest and exploitation, and as elite oligarchies, continue to exercise this monopoly of crime over their subject peoples through war, taxation, regimentation, and indoctrination.

This has been the case in every State throughout recorded history. From the primitive city-states of ancient Sumer located between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in Southern Mesopotamia, to the most sophisticated and powerful State-apparatus yet organized -- that of the United States of America -- presently engaged in an act of criminal conquest, occupation, and savage exploitation of those very lands and peoples in what is presently labeled Iraq.

And now the criminal aggression has shifted to Libya.

Losing Ground

The money monsters have gobbled up the American prosperity by bilking small investors and diverting American jobs to slave and desperate workers around the world. Greed has no patriotism, and no public morals -- it is an unquenchable madness -- an evil without boundaries that spawns every other evil thing. It is a mindless and unmerciful curse upon US -- it is the slavery of the minority elitist in their ivory towers.

They use propaganda, censorship and corruption to fool the fools, the unread, uninspired and shallow thinkers of old people and religious sheep in America. They are lead by the greedy old goats in the Republican Party -- GOP means Greedy Old Phartes -- there is no goodness in them -- they are empty without any human value to US. There has been a raging war against the poor, the sick and unfortunate in America since Reagan-Bush and few know it.

Republicans are savage beasts that impose on US the evil laws of the jungle again. It is impossible for me to believe Americans are so stupid not to know who their real enemies are, and yet the Republicans still get back in -- the elections must have all been rigged.

Americans have now lost their rights and not a shot was fired -- the slavers are back. One Nation under God is a cruel joke on US all and the Republicans are laughing all the way to their banks. Republicans do not create jobs -- they eat them up!

War-ped

News of Israel hiring 50,000 mercenaries to aid Qaddafi in retaining power should not be ignored by America's press.

Does any sane Christian or Jew blame Israel for being concerned that President Obama committed an act of WAR against Libya without a vote of Congress? Obama seems hell bent on supporting anti Qaddafi forces with Al-Qaeda linked forces and the takeover of Egypt by the Muslim Brotherhood.

Based upon Obama's unconstitutional actions (spoken by both Obama and Biden in 2007) Mexico could put a NO FLY ZONE over Arizona, N.Mexico, California and Texas without it being considered an act of war. After all, they would only be protecting the harassed Mexicans streaming over the borders to find food to eat.

Does Israel have the right to spend our money to fight Obama's Al-Qaeda linked troops? Being that we are still losing good men in

Afghanistan fighting Al-Qaeda and Taliban forces, I'd say impeach Obama and give even more money to Israel! Why? Because Israel seems to have a stronger will to live than the USA.
