Karen, I think Ray had made it clear that he wants to over throw the government of the United States. He indicates that he hates the "jar-head militarists". That's really comical. If it were not for the militarists, he would no longer have the freedom to spew his tirades all over the place in public. He said "justice",(the ACLU making sure that hardened criminals do not go to jail), truth (Bill Clinton under oath), honesty, (White River, and stealing furniture from the White House). The mad greed he is referring to is among the corporate pirates, which the Clinton administration did nothing about, and the Bush administration has passed new legislation that will incarcerate these people for their crimes, unless they get Ray's ACLU to get them off.

PUBLIC SOURCES KLP, Re: For someone so young, he/she must have been getting info from either our government There really isn't any mystery about where I got my information when I first subscribed to Ramparts Magazine at the age of 15, and I.F. Stone's Weekly when I turned 16. Ramparts was a Catholic publication, with concerned churchmen and humanists examining the condition of the nation's and the world's poor and downtrodden. It was a humanitarian aspiration of the publication to expose the lies of the Johnson Administration and the Joint Chiefs, perpetrating a war that the American people were kept in the dark about by the corporate media. Much as is the case today. As far as I.F. Stone's wonderful investigative journalism, his best source of information was actually reading the Federal Register. Something almost no one else in the country had the patience or understanding to do. Stone culled the absolute jewels, the hidden appropriations schemes, the hush-hush Executive Orders, and much else that is all part of the public record, but is severely suppressed by the corporate media as they try to propagandize the American population. I don't recall using any foreign sources at all to shape my opinions back then. That is the one great transformative advance that the Internet has provided to us, so that we now can read the views of journalists from across the planet, instead of relying of the unreliable domestic media. Keep in mind that until the recent crackdown in Iran, they outnumbered our press by six to zero in the number of daily dissenting journals of important circulation. The shocking thing about the American corporate media is how homogenous it is, and how perfectly willing it is to whore for the corporate bosses and their anti-democratic aspirations: Cf.: mediawhoresonline.com
