I had my DirecTV unplugged, I’m no longer turning over those big fat monthly checks to DirecTV for a lot of crap,
Report thisFolks please remember that Israel is our most favorite ally, good friend and buddy. They can spy if they want to and they can torture Palestinians if they want to, and we will provide the money and the torture gear. We Love Israel!? Don’t we?

The Coen brothers could make a really good black comedy out of this. It would be funny - if two actual, real, live elderly people weren’t involved.

It is hard to believe what our government says anymore, they have lied to us so much. If there is a trial for all the world to see, then they are probably telling the truth, if not, then it is probably propaganda to turn people against Cuba, because Cuba has such good medical health care for their citizens.

Mr Myers stated he was disillusioned back in ‘70s, geez, how many people are disillusioned today? Our country is far worse, and we all worked hard to get “change” in office and come to find out, “change” is something we toss in the console of our cars!

Israel spies on the US all the time, and we just let them get away with it.

Single Payer is so right. The police state is getting stronger and stronger.
Report thisThe Cuban “spies” remind me of the Rosenbergs. Does anyone remember them? About 60 years ago, they were both executed as spies for the Soviet Union. Big sensation at the time. Communism was an evil, godless political system—the biggest threat to the U.S. since the devil roamed the earth seeking the ruin of souls.
Now—guess what?—we have to toss all that down the memory hole. Those in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, and others in the middle east are the biggest threat to the U.S. since the devil….

So many citizens being arrested these days.
Probably some sort of new meaning of the Change policy. New Jersey blogger arrested, kook killer of tiller arressted, elderly miami couple arrested, etc.
Why does this remind me of “Darkness at Noon” by Koestler? Just more manipulation of Mainstream Media to district, frighten and confuse the general public.
Turn off that damn corp propaganda oligarchy, particularly CNN and Fox. All the same, including PBS.
They keep us stumbling around in the dark.
