Conservative website launched for rockers who rage FOR the machine

Will right wing rocker site spawn more Nugents?

Right wing rocker Ted Nugent has long used his bombastic style to rage against those he considers opponents of his America. Nugent recently urged Texas to secede and install him as its president. Now a website Rockanomics.com has been launched to spawn new Nugents.  

World Anthem Inc describes the site as an online rock music community and conservative movement site. That is pro-American and pro-military. They say the site will provide a platform to advance relevant new music and expose political decisions effecting American life with ways to get involved. The site presents what they consider proven solutions to issues, reveals motivating sources of career and business essentials, and provides ways to support our military in an interactive format. They also offer a "Share the Wealth" affiliate program, motivating businesses and individuals to refer subscribers and earn ongoing revenue.

Cold-blooded details of Brooklyn Marine and wife's brutal murder revealed in California courtroom

Brooklyn raised Marine Sgt. Pawel Pietrzak and his wife Quiana.

Terrorized and tortured, allegedly by four fellow Marines, Sgt. Jan Pawel Pietrzak and his wife were on their knees in their ransacked home when one intruder handed a loaded gun to another.

"Do them," Lance Cpl. Tyrone Miller told Pvt. Emrys John, a former Marine testified Wednesday.

"They had them kneel over the couch and they placed a seat cushion over his head and shot him," 22-year-old Justin Weissinger told the court. "They shot his wife, too. They shot her in the same manner, twice."

Weissinger, who was kicked out of the service in February for flunking a drug test, said Miller gave him that account and even boasted about how they sexually assaulted Pietrzak's wife, Quiana.

That was too much for her mother, Faye Williams-Jenkins, who fled the California courtroom in tears.

Pietrzak's mother, Henryka, who had flown in from Brooklyn for the hearing, said with disgust, "Our servicemen and women deserve to be safe and not afraid of each other."

Weissinger, who said he and Miller carried out 20 burglaries together and once accidentally shot the accused ringleader, testified at a hearing to determine whether the Marines should stand trial for the double murder.

John and Miller are based at Camp Pendleton and worked for Pietrzak, who was a helicopter airframe mechanic at Miramar Marine Corps Air Station in San Diego.

Miller said "that they had some conflicts in the past and he didn't really like him that much," Weissinger testified.

So when Miller rang Pietrzak's doorbell last October, the suspicious sergeant armed himself with a kitchen knife, Weissinger said.

They "put a shotgun to his chest and told him to go in the house," the former Marine said.

Miller, John and the other Marines, Pvt. Kesuan (Psycho) Sykes and Pvt. Kevin Cox, have pleaded not guilty. They face the death penalty if convicted. John is 19 and the others are 21.

Prosecutors insist the Pietrzaks were slain for their money, but a homicide investigator has said the Marines spray-painted racist remarks in the home.

Polish-born Pietrzak, 24, was white. His 26-year-old wife was black.

In the wake of the Pietrzak murders, Rep. Michael McMahon (D-Staten Island) drafted a bill to stiffen psychological screenings for new Marines to weed out the bad apples.
