“Under what concealment has this power lain hidden, which now for the first time comes forth, with a tremendous and baleful aspect, to trample down and destroy the dearest right of personal liberty? Who will show me any Constitutional injunction which makes it the duty of the American people to surrender everything valuable in life, and even life, itself, whenever the purposes of an ambitious and mischievous government may require it?” – Daniel Webster

BFP Nightly Quote

“Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . . Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.” –Howard Zinn

“A good soldier is a blind, heartless, soulless, murderous machine. He is not a man. His is not a brute, for brutes kill only in self defense. All that is human in him, all that is divine in him, all that constitutes the man has been sworn away when he took the enlistment roll. His mind, his conscience, aye, his very soul, are in the keeping of his officer. No man can fall lower than a soldier—it is a depth beneath which we cannot go.” – Jack London

Dear Boiling Frogs Post Readers & Supporters:

Every weeknight we’ve been presenting to you ‘BFP Select Nightly News & Editorials,’ a thorough round up of international and national news, select editorials, videos and podcasts. We have been consistent in providing you with balanced selections from sources other than disreputable US mainstream media such as CNN, FOX, NY Times, Washington Post or News Week.  We have been highly conscious of giving equal platforms to the news organizations representing those intruded upon and violated by our nation’s foreign policy and practices. Isn’t it only fair to provide both sides? We have been daring in presenting controversial, truly independent and bold editorials and analyses feared, resented and censored by many mainstream and pseudo alternatives wary of their funding sources.
