Ingmar Lee: Stop the Troops!

Ingmar Lee: Stop the Troops!: "The American military, from top to bottom is a hideous blight on our planet. There are no innocents in this massive killing machine. There's no 'honour' in volunteering for the worlds largest terrorist organization, now under the command of the deceitful, criminal cabal led by George W. Bush. American soldiers are well trained to kill, and obviously, to torture, and they go off to Iraq all of their own 'free will.' They know that they will kill, and that they may die. There will not be any 'honour,' or 'glory' for these stupid youngsters who continue to volunteer themselves for 'duty' in Bush's appalling adventure. These soldiers, including the 2000 dead, by taint of their volunteer status, are each personally responsible for the murder of 100,000 innocent Iraqi's."

The Blog | Cenk Uygur: The Real Indictment of Dick Cheney | The Huffington Post

The Blog | Cenk Uygur: The Real Indictment of Dick Cheney | The Huffington Post: "How can this administration argue that it was a few rogue soldiers who committed the abuses at Abu Ghraib (and all of the other prisons all over Iraq and Afghanistan), when they are arguing for the right to treat detainees with 'cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment' right now?

These are the people who said they were going to bring dignity and morality back into the White House. I know a lot of people voted for this President because they thought he is a good Christian, just like them. Let me ask you, is this what Christianity is all about? Do good Christians argue for cruelty, degradation and inhumanity?

Either Christianity is twisted or Bush has twisted Christianity. Either way, if you claim to be a moral person proud of being a Christian, stand up against this barbarity or never speak of morality again."

RFID Chips To Travel in U.S. Passports - Yahoo! News

RFID Chips To Travel in U.S. Passports - Yahoo! News: "The passports will have 64 kilobyte RFID chip to permit adequate storage room in case additional data, or fingerprints or iris scan biometric technology is added in the future. The United States will follow ICAO's international specifications to participate in a global electronic passport initiative. The specification indicates a data format and use of a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) that permits digital signatures to protect the data from tampering, according to the Bush administration."

xymphora: The ground war in Syria has begun

xymphora: The ground war in Syria has begun: "Syria is in grave danger of attack and destruction by the United States, and Iran isn't, simply because the neocons take their marching orders from Israel, and the Likudniks want regime change in Syria, and the ultimate destruction of that country."

Why?
Because this country and those in power have backed nothing but MASS DEATH, always aimed at people of color. There is also the connection to the Bush crime family.

Gag Order Lifted On Canadian Torture Charges Against Bush

Gag Order Lifted On Canadian Torture Charges Against Bush: "“This is a very important victory”, said Gail Davidson, who laid the charges and, along with Howard Rubin, argued the case for LAW, “because it ensures that the proceedings will be scrutinized by people in Canada and throughout the world, to make sure that the law is applied fairly and properly and, above all, to make sure that Bush doesn’t get away with torture.”

“The American legal system seems incapable of bringing him to justice and there are no international courts with jurisdiction. So it’s up to Canada to enforce the law that everybody has signed on to but nobody else seems willing to apply.”

The next hearing in the case will take place on November 25th 2005, at 10:00 a.m. at the B.C. Supreme Court, 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, B.C., when government lawyers have said they will argue that the case is no longer “moot” because the Attorney General of Canada has not yet consented to the prosecution. Toronto law professor Michael Mandel, co-chair of LAW, calls this argument “bogus”: “He’s still guilty of torture, he’s still on the loose and we still have our obligations under the UN Convention to bring torturers to justice.”"

9/11 Theologian Says Controlled Demolition of World Trade Center Is Now a Fact, Not a Theory

9/11 Theologian Says Controlled Demolition of World Trade Center Is Now a Fact, Not a Theory: "'The evidence for this conclusion (that 9/11 was an inside job) has thus far been largely ignored by the mainstream press, perhaps under the guise of obeying President Bush’s advice not to tolerate “outrageous conspiracy theories.” We have seen, however, that it is the Bush administration’s conspiracy theory that is the outrageous one, because it is violently contradicted by numerous facts, including some basic laws of physics.

'There is, of course, another reason why the mainstream press has not pointed out these contradictions. As a recent letter to the Los Angeles Times said:

“'The number of contradictions in the official version of . . . 9/11 is so overwhelming that . . . it simply cannot be believed. Yet . . . the official version cannot be abandoned because the implication of rejecting it is far too disturbing: that we are subject to a government conspiracy of ‘X-Files’ proportions and insidiousness.' "

Harper's Magazine: We Now Live in a Fascist State

Harper's Magazine: We Now Live in a Fascist State: "I don't say that over the last thirty years we haven't made brave strides forward. By matching Eco's list of fascist commandments against our record of achievement, we can see how well we've begun the new project for the next millennium -- the notion of absolute and eternal truth embraced by the evangelical Christians and embodied in the strict constructions of the Constitution; our national identity provided by anonymous Arabs; Darwin's theory of evolution rescinded by the fiat of 'intelligent design'; a state of perpetual war and a government administering, in generous and daily doses, the drug of fear; two presidential elections stolen with little or no objection on the part of a complacent populace; the nation's congressional districts gerrymandered to defend the White House for the next fifty years against the intrusion of a liberal-minded president; the news media devoted to the arts of iconography, busily minting images of corporate executives like those of the emperor heroes on the coins of ancient Rome.

An impressive beginning, in line with what the world has come to expect from the innovative Americans, but we can do better. The early twentieth-century fascisms didn't enter their golden age until the proletariat in the countries that gave them birth had been reduced to abject poverty. The music and the marching songs rose with the cry of eagles from the wreckage of the domestic economy. On the evidence of the wonderful work currently being done by the Bush Administration with respect to the trade deficit and the national debt -- to say nothing of expanding the markets for global terrorism -- I think we can look forward with confidence to character-building bankruptcies, picturesque bread riots, thrilling cavalcades of splendidly costumed motorcycle police."

Violations found in FBI surveillance, records show

Violations found in FBI surveillance, records show: "The FBI has conducted clandestine surveillance on some U.S. residents for as long as 18 months at a time without proper paperwork or oversight, according to previously classified documents to be released today.

Records turned over as part of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit also indicate that the FBI has investigated hundreds of potential violations related to its use of secret surveillance operations, which have been stepped up dramatically in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks but largely are hidden from public view."

This is what the FBI does. Now that a rougue regime is in power, they have no restraints. When went from COINTELPRO to USA PATRIOT ACT, the same as Hitler's Enabling Acts.

Americans are truely the dumbest muthafuckas on the planet, hands down.

Lee Sustar: What the "War on Terror" is Really About

Lee Sustar: What the "War on Terror" is Really About: "The U.S. 'war on terror' is nothing more than ideological justification for the aggressive projection of U.S. imperial power abroad--and a clampdown on any serious challenge to the system at home. Islamophobic diatribes are a means of providing a cover to this reality.

The task of the antiwar movement isn't to reshape the U.S. war on terror to be more effective--but to oppose it."

Brian Cloughley: Bush the Strategist

Brian Cloughley: Bush the Strategist: "Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz are criminals. (Forget Perle because he's just a pathetic little quasi-intellectual trickster ; although, to be sure, he's made a lot of money from his efforts.) They have sacrificed the lives of American soldiers because they refuse to admit they were wrong. Bush the strategist is a phony who prefers to look after the 'haves and the have mores', as he declared on October 20, 2000. His loyalty is not to his troops or his country. It is to money and power and looking good in macho fancy dress. Bring on impeachment."

Norman Solomon: Iraq is Not Vietnam, But...

Norman Solomon: Iraq is Not Vietnam, But...: "With repeated use of violence more massive than any other entity on the planet can dream of mustering, Uncle Sam is the globe's dominant serial killer. This reality, so obvious to most of the world, is hidden in plain sight across the U.S. corporate media spectrum.

The United States is the United States. And that's the ultimate continuity between the Vietnam War and the U.S. war effort in Iraq today."

Mike Whitney: Apres Rove

Mike Whitney: Apres Rove: "In the last few weeks a number of articles have pointed out that Bush is totally outside of the policy making loop in his own administration. Apparently, the Pentagon's OSP (Office of Special Plans) and Cheney's WHIG (White House Iraq Group) made all of the major decisions related to the upcoming war in Iraq. Bush was either too busy developing a softer look for his scripted video-conferences or frolicking in the Crawford outback on his customized mountain bike. Wherever he was doing, his circumscribed role as performer-in-chief has never really been in doubt. He was enlisted to put a smiley-face on vile policies of torture, repression and war; and, he has done just that."

Why Savers Are Losers: Why the Rich Get Richer - Yahoo! Finance

Why Savers Are Losers: Why the Rich Get Richer - Yahoo! Finance: "My poor dad believed in saving money. 'A dollar saved is a dollar earned,' he often said.

The problem was he didn't pay attention to changes in monetary policy. All his life he saved, not realizing that after 1971 his dollar was no longer money.

You see, in 1971 President Richard Nixon changed the rules of money. That year, the U.S. dollar ceased being money and became a currency. This was one of the most important changes in modern history, but few people understand why."

Special message on the Millions More Movement

Special message on the Millions More Movement: "Ten years ago, the historic Million Man March brought nearly two million men to the Nation's Capitol and demonstrated the willingness of Black men to atone to God for shortcomings as men, husbands and fathers and, a willingness to reconcile differences at home, school, church, organizations and in the society in general. An increase in Black male voter participation and thousands of adoptions following the March was directly attributed to the successful event. "

Let Cheney-Bush Go Quietly Now, by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. (Oct. 3, 2005)

Let Cheney-Bush Go Quietly Now, by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. (Oct. 3, 2005): "The bottom line for all this and much more besides, is that the current Bush-Cheney administration is the worst, most incompetent, and also most brutish government in all of U.S. history to date. This is a view which is largely shared by those who are my personal leading adversaries as much as friendly circles. We agree on one thing: this administration is a disaster which our republic could not survive for three more years of the present trends.

The time has come to tell the President and Vice-President to go quietly, for the sake of the nation, and also, like Nixon, to avoid the legal consequences of continuing to attempt to 'tough it out.' We could be most generous to them in their early retirement years, if they would kindly assist us in expediting the urgently needed return, by the established constitutional route, to the sane government we so urgently needed in this time of the gravest kind of global monetary-financial and economic crisis."

I don't think they should go so quietly. These theives and murders should be given the same treatment they have rendered on their enemies, and former allies, like Sadaam. They are of the same cloth. Mass murders, brutal dictators, and they left their own people to die and starve to dead, men women and children, in the street.

Attorney: Police Shot Teen With Taser Gun At Least Seven Times

Attorneys for Roberto Martinez, 16, said Hialeah police used excessive force when they used a Taser gun on the teen seven to 10 times outside a Wendy's restaurant. Several teens had gone to the restaurant after a football game."

Republican Congressman Slams Bush On Militarized Police State Preparation

Republican Congressman Slams Bush On Militarized Police State Preparation: "'I believe it is the President hyping this and Rumsfeld, but it has to be in combination with the people being fearful enough that they will accept the man on the white horse. My first reaction going from my political and medical background is that it's way overly hyped and to think that they have gone this far with it, without a single case in the whole country and they're willing to change the law and turn it into a military state? That is unbelievable! They're determined to have martial law.'"

Lila Rajiva: Live from New Orleans: Abu Ghraib!

Lila Rajiva: Live from New Orleans: Abu Ghraib!: "The routine assault and looting of Iraqi civilians caught up in searches and random detentions in Iraq are not anomalous as we are told solemnly by imperial apologists but the export of racist home-grown brutality endemic in our law enforcement. Abu Ghraib is the return of this repressed, this violent underbelly of America's 'liberal' state."

Robert Jensen: Is Bush a Racist?

Robert Jensen: Is Bush a Racist?: "For his entire life, Bush has sat on the very top of the privilege pile. He is white in a white-supremacist society; a heterosexual man in a patriarchal culture; born into wealth in a capitalist economy; and a U.S. citizen in a world dominated by his nation. In the identity game, it’s hard to get a better roll of the dice.

The downside to all this for folks like Bush is that privilege doesn’t guarantee intelligence, empathy, wisdom, diligence, or humanity. Privilege allows people without those qualities to skate through life, protected from the consequences of being dull-witted, lazy, arrogant, and inhumane. The system of privilege allows failed people to pretend to be something more."

Devvy Kidd -- The Stark Reality of America's Financial Meltdown, Part 1

Devvy Kidd -- The Stark Reality of America's Financial Meltdown, Part 1: "There is no money in the U.S. Treasury. The debt is now $7,978,002,527,274.56 and accumulating interest every second of the day.

The engineered, unconstitutional invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq are costing a whopping $7 billion dollars a month. Bush wants to further drive us into poverty with a ten year commitment of $570 billion dollars. Never in my life have I seen such insanity - not even under Clinton.

How do you spend $7 billion dollars a month when there is no money in your bank account?"

NYC Subway "Plot": Just Another Fake Terror Alert

NYC Subway "Plot": Just Another Fake Terror Alert: "Is it a coincidence that at the same time as this 'credible' large scale terror alert the Bush administration is under siege, with Karl Rove's legal woes accelerating and Bush's approval rating hitting a record low of 37 percent.

Rove is up to his neck and facing indictment. He now has to give further testimony to the Grand Jury investigating the CIA leak. A Watergate level cover up is in operation as not only Rove but other leading members of the Bush Administration are deeply involved.

This tactic is nothing new, we have seen countless examples of fake terror alerts and fake terror arrests since 9/11 for the purposes of distraction. We have a whole archive dedicated to the subject. The Pentagon has even admitted that it is willing to put out false information in the global media, so called 'black propaganda'.

Let's take a look at some previous examples of fake terror alerts. Here are my top five:"

'We have to make decisions and show leadership. And that is exactly what we have done. And if given the same situation we would do exactly the same thing.'"

This is insanity, all for the sake of the appearance of leadership, as the Zionist mayor says. Also, no mention of how the hoax conveniently coincided with the criminal in chief's fantasy war of terror.

Lenni Brenner: the Millions More Movement and Zionism:
"'Africans must transform the anti-war movement to an anti-capitalist and anti-Zionist movement. We have no choice. If we don't bow down to Zionism we are chastised or destroyed. The Zionists tried to chastise Mandela for his support for the PLO. They control our community's politicians. Look how they work harder for Israel than for Azania/South Africa! We must properly distinguish between Judaism and Zionism. But our slogan must be King's slogan: 'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.''"

Homeland security can’t even secure the White House

Kansas City Star | 10/09/2005 | Homeland security can’t even secure the White House: "It is inconceivable that an administration that seems defenseless against possible espionage and treachery seeks to be the guardian of national security for the rest of us.

As this White House aggressively polices citizens through such constitutional prohibitions as the USA Patriot Act, it has passively policed and protected itself. The consequence: a possible security breach of historic proportion.

If found guilty of charges and allegations against him, ex-Marine Leandro Aragoncillo may be the first known spy in the White House in modern times."

Is This The Death Of America?

Mirror.co.uk - News - IS THIS THE DEATH OF AMERICA?: "With TV providing a ceaseless backdrop of the country's failings - a crippled and tone-deaf president, a negligent government, corruption, military atrocities, soaring debt, racial conflict, poverty, bloated bodies in floodwater, people dying on camera for want of food, water and medicine - it seemed things were falling apart in the land where happiness is promoted in the constitution.

Disillusioning news was everywhere. In the flight from Hurricane Rita, evacuees fought knife fights over cans of petrol. In storm-hit Louisiana there were long queues at gun stores as people armed themselves against looters.

AMERICA, which has the world's costliest health care, had, it turned out, higher infant mortality rates than the broke and despised Cuba.

Tom De Lay, Republican enforcer in the House of Representatives, was indicted for conspiracy and money laundering. The leader of the Republicans in the Senate was under investigation for his stock dealings. And Osama bin Laden was still on the loose."

New Orleans Police Brutally Beat Up on Old Black Man.



NEW ORLEANS - Two New Orleans police officers repeatedly punched a 64-year-old man accused of public intoxication, and another city officer assaulted an Associated Press Television News producer as a cameraman taped the confrontations.

We've have all seen this before: White "officers", one uncle tom, and an overseer= near death of a black citizen. Message, if you are young enough to withstand a beating, they'll tase you to death. Now, their crimes have went from beating and killing niggers, to kicking the "liberal" media's ass to boot.

Result, not a goddamn thing, of any consequence, will be done about this. Welcome to Bush's Amerikkka!

Martial Law and the Avian Flu Pandemic

Martial Law and the Avian Flu Pandemic: "The hidden agenda consists in using the threat of a pandemic and/or the plight of a natural disaster as a pretext to establish military rule, under the facade of a 'functioning democracy'.

What Bush's statements suggest is that Congress should enact legislation which will, in practice suspend Constituional government and allow the Military to intervene in civilian affairs in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. The latter, however, while still on the books, is in practice already defunct.
"

(Although it has no expertise in the avian flu virus, one of the major actors in the vaccine business, on contract to the Pentagon, is Bioport, a company which is part owned by the Carlyle Group, which is closely linked to the Bush Cabinet with Bush Senior on its board of directors.)

Troops Out Now!

Troops Out Now!

The massive turnout for the September 24 demonstration was a clear indication that the tide is turning. More and more people are opposed to the war and they are inspired to take action to bring the troops home. The challenge for the antiwar movement is to bring this new energy back to every neighborhood, workplace, and school to build a grassroots movement to end the occupation.
Next Step: December 1

The movement to build a truly massive Rosa Parks Anniversary Nationwide Strike Against Poverty, Racism and War is gaining momentum. Following the phenomenal success of the September 24 antiwar marches, the December 1 strike is a necessary next step to keep the pressure on and broaden the movement that has been reborn.

The impending Cakewalk in Iran

The impending Cakewalk in Iran: "'Top-ranking Americans have told equally top-ranking Indians in recent weeks that the US has plans to invade Iran before Bush's term ends. In 2002, a year before the US invaded Iraq, high-ranking Americans had similarly shared their definitive vision of a post-Saddam Iraq, making it clear that they would change the regime in Baghdad.' Calcutta Telegraph 9-25-05

The UN's nuclear watchdog agency, the IAEA, officially signed Iran's death-warrant yesterday. By passing a US-backed resolution that refers Iran's nuclear program to the Security Council, the member states have endorsed America's genocidal Middle East policy and paved the way for another war. Even though Tal Afar, Samara and other civilian enclaves are still under a withering attack from American forces, and even though reports of rampant prisoner abuse and torture continue to surface around Falluja, and even though increasing numbers of young Sunni men, who've been beaten and shot in the back of the head, are being fished from the Euphrates River every day; the sycophantic Euro-allies have thrown their support behind a resolution that will unavoidably lead to another war. Everyone who signed on to this treacherous pact is equally culpable of the misery it will inevitably produce."

Another Day in the Empire » Osama: Back from the Dead: "As we know, the real Osama, who died and his obit was published in the Egyptian newspaper al-Wafd, on December 26, 2001, claimed no responsibility for the nine eleven attacks. “I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States,” Bin Laden told Ummat Karachi, on 28th September 2001, in a report ignored by the corporate media, for obvious reasons: “I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of innocent women, children and other humans as an appreciable act…. The United States should try to trace the perpetrators of these attacks within itself…. They needed an enemy.”"

Miers gave Bush 6Aug01 PDB

TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS: "USA Today and the Boston Globe carried the photo labeled simply '2001,' but many other newspapers ran the picture in print or on the Web with a more precise date: Aug. 6, 2001.

Does that date sound familiar? Indeed, that was the date, a little over a month before 9/11, that President Bush was briefed on the now-famous 'PDB' that declared that Osama Bin Laden was 'determined' to attack the U.S. homeland, perhaps with hijacked planes. But does that mean that Miers had anything to do with that briefing?

Business groups: Change Patriot Act

Salt Lake Tribune - Business: "WASHINGTON - Some of the nation's most powerful business groups are splitting with the Bush administration over whether to restrict the anti-terror USA Patriot Act.
The business groups complained to Congress on Wednesday that the Patriot Act makes it too easy for the government to get confidential business records. That put them at odds with one of President Bush's top priorities - the unfettered extension of the law passed after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
In the first organized criticism of the act from the business sector, these groups endorsed amendments that would require investigators to say how the information they seek is linked to individual suspected terrorists or spies, and would allow businesses to challenge the requests in courts and to speak publicly about those requests. "

Wheels Coming Off White House As Bush-Cheney Indictments Pending

Articles, government corruption, freedom of speech, truth: "Now ABC news agents, who usually follow the neo-con party line, reported last Sunday through George Stephanopolis, “reliable sources” reveal indictments against Bush and Cheney are pending.



But even with Bush and Cheney gone, the cancer in our government remains since the entire executive, judicial and legislative branches needs to ‘picked clean’ so that fair-minded men can again take back the country.



However, it can’t be denied that Bush and Cheney are a good start and if the cat’s really finally out of the bag, let’s hope they are good “mousers,” efficient at getting all the rats out of Washington, including the Clinton’s, McCain and Kerry."

MediaGuardian.co.uk | Media | BBC shies away from Bush story

MediaGuardian.co.uk | Media | BBC shies away from Bush story: "However, after it appeared in most of the national newspapers, BBC Breakfast featured an item, while Radio 1, 5 Live, News 24 and BBC online also ran it.

But the BBC News website's coverage was distinctly lukewarm - running the story under the headline 'White House denies Bush God claim', rather than the press release's headline of 'God told me to invade Iraq, Bush tells Palestinian ministers'.

One BBC source said: 'The denial by the White House put some programme editors off. It probably played a big part in some of their decisions not to run the story.'

The lukewarm response by other BBC outlets to a BBC News exclusive in the wake of a denial by the US government is likely to dismay the new head of television news, Peter Horrocks.

Just a few days ago he urged staff not to be afraid of being first with stories, as long as they were factually accurate.

It is perhaps inevitable that suspicions may be raised about any cautious reception to BBC stories that do not present Mr Bush in the best light following Rupert Murdoch's comments that Tony Blair had told him BBC World's coverage of Hurricane Katrina was 'just full of hate for America and gloating about our troubles'."



Tony Blair is even Rupert Murdoch's bitch!

''And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East. And by God I'm gonna do it.''

Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, who attended the meeting in June 2003 too, also appears on the documentary series to recount how Mr Bush told him: 'I have a moral and religious obligation. So I will get you a Palestinian state.'"

Watch the video, where the producer of the series mentions that , the only people to mention motivation from "god" are the suicide bombers and Bush.

Imagine my shock.

Behind the Iraq Dossier Hoax: Intelligence Was Cooked in Israel

Behind the Iraq Dossier Hoax: Intelligence Was Cooked in Israel: "But a deeper probe into the scandal reveals that there was good reason that the spin-meisters at the Coalition Information Center—the Washington-London civilian government propaganda unit that crafted both the Blair dossier and major portions of Secretary Powell's own lighter-than-air book of evidence—did not reveal the sources of their information. The entire cooked intelligence picture was 'Made in Israel.' It was cooked up at a right-wing think-tank complex notorious as a hotbed of radical Likudnik propaganda, and with links to the Office of Vice President Dick Cheney, via his Chief of Staff Lewis Libby and his former client, Marc Rich."

Text of Gore Speech at Media Conference

BREITBART.COM - Just The News: "The final point I want to make is this: We must ensure that the Internet remains open and accessible to all citizens without any limitation on the ability of individuals to choose the content they wish regardless of the Internet service provider they use to connect to the Worldwide Web. We cannot take this future for granted. We must be prepared to fight for it because some of the same forces of corporate consolidation and control that have distorted the television marketplace have an interest in controlling the Internet marketplace as well. Far too much is at stake to ever allow that to happen.

We must ensure by all means possible that this medium of democracy's future develops in the mold of the open and free marketplace of ideas that our Founders knew was essential to the health and survival of freedom."

The USA has a long history of human experimentation from the beginning of the 20th century.

The USA has a long history of human experimentation from the beginning of the 20th century.: "'The United States has a long history of experimentation,
on unwitting human subjects, which goes back to the
beginning of this century. Both private firms and the military
have used unknowing human populations to test various
theories. However, the extent to which human experimentation
has been a part of the U.S. Biological Weapons programs will
probably never be known. The following examples are taken
from information declassified in 1977, and from other private
source accounts. Several involve incidents which are still
of unknown origins and which cannot be fully explained.'"

Another Day in the Empire » Clueless Americans on Democracy

Another Day in the Empire » Clueless Americans on Democracy: "Bush and crew have no intention of “installing democracy” in Iraq and it is amazing large numbers of Americans believe this, especially after scads of evidence to the contrary.

As a cursory examination of history reveals, the United States government and military have never been in the business of “installing democracy” and in fact have consistently strived for the exact opposite.

Since the end of World War 2, the United States has used military intervention in over 70 nations—and not for the sake of freedom and democracy (see William Blum’s A Brief History of U.S. Interventions:1945 to the Present)."

Bush Is Cooking Up Two More Wars by Paul Craig Roberts

Bush Is Cooking Up Two More Wars by Paul Craig Roberts: "By bullying the 35 members of the IAEA, the Bush administration last week managed to get 22 votes that could lead to the referral of Iran to the UN Security Council. The Bush administration will now lobby for the referral. Once it has the referral, even if the Security Council does not act on it, the Bush administration can use it as an excuse to attack Iran. The Bush administration knows that few Americans have any knowledge of international law and procedures and will simply believe whatever President Bush says. The highly concentrated US media is a proven walkover for the war-mongering Bush administration."

Christianity and the Demise of America

Christianity and the Demise of America: "During the journey from childhood to manhood, I have often contemplated the role of Christianity in the path that America was taking. Let me state clearly that in my humble opinion organized religion has nothing to do with real Christianity—I mean the actual teachings of Christ. Through a spectacular failure of courage and a will to be accepted into the mainstream of corporate America, the example of Jesus Christ has been trivialized and blasphemed by its chief practioneers. The church has allowed itself to become so prostituted that it bears little resemblance to the radical teachings of Christ of Nazareth. It has allowed itself not only to be marginalized by corporate America—it has become an apologist, an enabler, for the corporate state and all it represents."
