Summit of Ego-logy

When pieces of the puzzle fall into one preposterous paradox, the madness of the puzzle-makers comes to light. In the midst of socio-economic decay, when living in your own country rightly feels like resistance against occupation, the main stream media double the efforts to convince the long suffering public not to touch politics, so that politics can keep a grip on them.

Narcissus’ Cabinet of Mirrors

A narcissist often blows a kiss to his own image, and won’t be able to resist the temptation of snapping a selfie while driving, but his favourite magnifying glass can be found only in the eyes of the admiring public. The applause animates the marionette that goes into “power” mode: gesticulating confidently, bullying the opposition and laughing at own piteous jokes.

L.A. VA’s Way: War on Whistleblowers

Whistleblowers –the maddening troublemakers hammering away at legislators who lost or sold their gavels, until we know the truth; and only the truth will set us free. It seems irrational, that VA Secretary Robert McDonald who pledged to transform the department and claimed that he “celebrates” whistleblowers would wage or even tolerate a war against them.

Your News is Served

What happens when someone owns the media? The journalists turned stenographers and all kinds of compliance professionals work for him; the crowd is force-fed with his messages. No matter if he imposes an ideology or simply his dislike of peanuts- his views are presented as the “opinion of the majority”. By the time he spreads his censorship, cans or puts in a can all the pro-peanuts dissidents, he simply becomes a dictator.

A Synonym for Selective Compassion

Obama’s administration and his EU allies are so focused on realizing their ideological aspirations that are overtly ready to bulldoze everything and everyone in sight: from protestors at home to noncompliant leaders in other countries. Manifestly refusing to take under consideration counter-arguments no matter how coherent and valid, they display the symptoms of “immigration fever” as if a deadline was looming. What would the time-limit be: the next elections in their countries?

Trump: Love Him or Hate Him, but Let Him Be

Donald Trump entered the presidential elections scene, just like any other candidate: with his right to free speech, right to equitable treatment and liberty of ideas.

Welcome to the Hotel California: Veterans versus VA-mpires

Welcome to 388-acre West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs (WLAVA) property.

VA: CEO and Homeless Customers

Announcing the resignation of Veteran Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki, at the White House on May 30, 2014 Barack Obama stated: “I said we have to do better, and we will”.

Answers still Bloviatin’ in the Wind

Even by the standards of this treacherous epoch, some politicians are below depraved and delusional. Despite being caught red-handed a hundred times, evidently catastrophic for the country and toxic for humanity they still dare to present themselves as candidates in elections.

Who are your VIPs, Mr.VA Secretary?

Amid scandals rocking Veteran Affairs, and the need for emergency management, VA Secretary reserves precious time for leadership debates.

Obama’s Orchestra: Top Brass Silent or Silenced

The Brass section of the orchestra is often the loudest and the most communicable. In Barack Obama’s band, the top brass is either silent or silenced.

Illusion-of-Truth to Backfire Effect

When repetition is used as a persuasive strategy, we are being constantly exposed to the same message in order to believe it. The illusory truth effect, a direct result of implicit memory is to lead to unconscious decisions, to the acceptance of whatever is being served on the platter of veracity.

Evilution of Veterans’ Rights

It’s not a mystery that the general atmosphere of shameful treatment of our Veterans prevails. We are living in an epoch where national evolution become evilution, military service is rewarded with homelessness, combat injuries with an eternity in VA’s bureaucratic hell.

Dreams from Obama

Barack Obama’s approach to power is a deterrent example of current political trends. Officeholders elected to preserve, protect and defend laws and unique national identity, are not only derelict in their duties, but feel entitled to realize their personal dreams and to mold “their” country into a private kingdom. The sense of entitlement is reinforced by lack of obligation of results, culminating in rampant impunity.

VA: From Wax Museum to Muppet Show

During the reign of Henry Waxman, Los Angeles County was given a well deserved, although unenviable title of the veteran homeless capital of the nation. Hundreds of acres of land deeded to veterans in 1888 were to serve as their sanctuary, but instead, some definitely not angelic officials turned the place into a cradle of both the greatest paradox and the most smothered land grabbing scandal in VA’s history.

A candle for an Unknown Soldier

He was an unknown soldier. A warrior, who sacrificed his life for our freedom.

Reckless Endangerment

Legal definition describes reckless endangerment as a crime, consisting of acts that create a substantial risk of serious physical injury to another person. The person who commits the act isn't even required to intend the resulting or potential harm, but must have operated in a way that showed a disregard for the foreseeable consequences of the actions.

It Worked All Left

If only the inventiveness of the leftism ended on Barack Obama's spelling of "R-S-P-E-C-T", Al Gore's "initiative in creating the Internet" or Joe Biden's libertine adventures "I have known eight presidents, three of them intimately"...

Discrimination on the basis of sacrifice

The world has witnessed a lot of bizarre creativity on the part of Obama administration. One of the novelties imposed on us is the emergence of a brand new form of inequity: discrimination on the basis of sacrifice.

Post Obama Stress Disorder

At 93rd Annual Conference of the American Legion in Minneapolis, President Obama stated: “The days when depression and PTSD were stigmatized -- those days must end”, simultaneously branding PTSD as the “signature wound of this war” and underlining that some of our veterans are not getting “the prompt mental health care that they desperately need”… During Obama’s reign, the histrionic “concern” about military mental health becomes poster child for labelling technique which boasts innuendos, hyperboles and direct patronizing. Senator Feinstein (Senate Judiciary Committee meeting, March 2013),even implied that veterans can’t be trusted with assault weapons:” I think we have to – if you’re going to do this, find a way that veterans who are incapacitated for one reason or another mentally, don’t have access to this kind of weapon”.
