Thu. Jul. 19th, 2012 | Gary G. Kohls, MD

Behind every great fortune, there is a crime. Honore de Balzac For this weeks Duty to Warn column, I simply offer the lyrics from two related songs from the little-known anti-war, anti-fascist, anti-predatory capitalist protest CD If All the Land Would Rise.

And for the defense

One of the trickier parts of life in a collection of compacted communities is jury duty. Jurors are almost bound to know something of the parties involved. We are not blank slates. When called, you do your best to be impartial. You suspend ju

A Good Draft Would Blow Most Wars Away

Thomas Ricks of the Washington Post has covered the Iraq and Afghanistan wars since their inception and has always spoken truth to power. To me he is the Ernie Pyle and Bill Mauldin of these modern wars. Last week he wrote an article called Lets Draft Our Kids. In the same week we read about the ever-increasing suicides in the military. The generals in charge just dont seem to understand it.

What were the brain-altering psych drugs that the Batman Shooter might have been taking or withdrawing from? Part Two

Dramatic and recurring mass shootings seem to be a peculiarly American phenomenon, given the fact that every other nation that experiences such shootings appropriately passes legislation that effectively prevents repeat atrocities. Not in America, however, thanks to the National Rifle Association and the numerous well-paid weapons manufacturing lobbyists who threaten into silence and inaction most of our elected officials in DC, both Republican and Democrat, who cant seem to resist taking the bribes.

Thu. Aug. 16th, 2012 | Gary G. Kohls, MD

Last week was the 67th anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the whole truth of which has been heavily censored and mythologized, starting with the news of the event that created understandable joy because of the end of that awful war.

The Drones Of The Hive

Two recent interviews about war were absolutely fascinating. One was a radio interview of an American marathoner leaving in the London Olympics. He came to this country 25 years ago from Eritrea with his dad. When in a Florida seventh grade PE class, his teacher told him if he ran a good race he would give him an A, but If he ran a poor one he wo

Football Takes Over Sports Scene

Pretty much everybody in Northern Minnesota is a Minnesota Vikings fan, but in the days before the Vikings were born, the same fans were ardent backers of the Green Bay Packers. The Vikings earned their dedicated fans, and some of them turned the Packers into a huge rivalry.

Suicide and the Soldier

Fri. Aug. 31st, 2012 | Gary G. Kohls, MD

Eleven years ago, the NeoConservative Cheney/Bush/Rove/Rumsfeld administration, with the enthusiastic support of the Radical Religious Right, started, by a series of treasonous lies, its so-called endless war on terrorism, most of which, in actuality, had been provoked by decades of anti-Muslim, anti-Arab and blindly pro-Israel US foreign policies.

Holier than I am

The season changing to autumn has long been my emotional and reflective season, not that any reflection off my side is likely to blind anyone with illumination. Coolness in the air and the de-greening of foliage are visible signs of time passing in the block form of the season

Inconvenient Truths About Military Air Shows: Doing the Math

Fri. Sep. 21st, 2012 | Gary G. Kohls, MD

The Big Oil cartels, through the poisoning of the Gulf of Mexico with millions of gallons of leaking crude oil from risky deep water wells, have committed rape and premeditated attempted murder against the now mortally wounded Gulf. So far the corporate criminals have g
