But before the family was allowed inside, everyone was frisked -- including a little boy that was maybe ten years old!"

Chicago teen went into cardiac arrest due to Taser, doctors claim
Chicago teen went into cardiac arrest due to Taser, doctors claim: "CHICAGO - A letter published yesterday in The New England Journal of Medicine has claimed that a 14-yer-old boy went into ventricular fibrillation after a Taser Gun shocked him. This is the first medically documented report linking the use of the stun gun to fatal fibrillation.
Two doctors at the Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago penned this letter. The doctors wrote that an adolescent who was subdued by the Taser collapsed soon afterwards, 'Paramedics found the adolescent to be in ventricular fibrillation and began performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation within two minutes after the collapse. After four shocks and the administration of epinephrine, atropine, and lidocaine, a perfusing rhythm was restored. The adolescent made a nearly complete recovery and was discharged from the hospital several days later,' the doctors wrote in the letter. Paul J. Kim, M.D., and Wayne H. Franklin, M.D also sent the electrocardiogram tracings of the victim along with their letter, showing the condition of the heart before and after defibrillation."

He said he was troubled by television images that showed most of the some 300,000 desperate people still trapped in New Orleans were black.
'Maybe some whites are also starving but the African Americans are who I have seen,' Mohamud said. 'I am sorry they are poor like us.'"

New Orleans: Drowning Government in the Bathtub
Another Day in the Empire: "Isn't interesting China can move 600,000 people out of the way of Typhoon Talim and yet the United States was unable to move around 100,000 people out of New Orleans in the days before Katrina hit. Is it possible a communist dictatorship -- well, actually a globalist socialist dictatorship -- is more effective at protecting its people than the 'democratic' government of the United States? It runs against all the brainwashing the U.S. 'education' system attempted to pump into my brain since I entered kindergarten in the late 50s."

YOUNG HERO ACCUSED OF LOOTING!
Taking refuge in the Astrodome - NEWSCHANNEL 5: "HOUSTON -- Thousands of refugees of Hurricane Katrina were transported to the Astrodome in Houston this week. In an extreme act of looting, one group actually stole a bus to escape ravaged areas in Louisiana.
About 100 people packed into the stolen bus. They were the first to enter the Houston Astrodome, but they weren't exactly welcomed."
You racists son of a bitches are going to lock this boy up for "LOOTING" a fucking schoool bus to SAVE people?
He a god damned hero you fucking bastards!!
This country aint shit.
World stunned as U.S. struggles with Katrina
World stunned as U.S. struggles with Katrina: "'A modern metropolis sinking in water and into anarchy -- it is a really cruel spectacle for a champion of security like Bush,' France's left-leaning Liberation newspaper said.
'(Al Qaeda leader Osama) bin Laden, nice and dry in his hideaway, must be killing himself laughing.'
A female employee at a multinational firm in South Korea said it may have been no accident the U.S. was hit.
'Maybe it was punishment for what it did to Iraq, which has a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster,' said the woman, who did not want to be named as she has an American manager.
'A lot of the people I work with think this way. We spoke about it just the other day,' she said.
Commentators noted the victims of the hurricane were overwhelmingly African Americans, too poor to flee the region as the hurricane loomed unlike some of their white neighbours.
New Orleans ranks fifth in the United States in terms of African American population and 67 percent of the city's residents are black.
'In one of the poorest states in the country, where black people earn half as much as white people, this has taken on a racial dimension,' said a report in Britain's Guardian daily."

CounterPunch Wire: Faith-Based FEMA?
CounterPunch Wire: Faith-Based FEMA?: "Surely, before FEMA refers citizens to Operation Blessing, it should expect that a board 'conforming to the highest standards of integrity' would have long ago expelled Pat Robertson.
Rev. Robertson has deeply shamed the country by his notorious suggestion that the United States ought to assassinate Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez. This unforgivable remark is just the latest in a long string of embarrassing and outlandish pronouncements, such as his 2003 suggestion that 'maybe we need a very small nuke thrown' at State Department offices.
While the secular American Red Cross is deservedly first on the list of FEMA-endorsed charities, followed by the secular America's Second Harvest, there appear to be only two other groups of the list of 21 charities which are secular."

Norman Solomon: Ending the Impunity of the Bush White House: "There is something egregiously obscene about the people in charge of the U.S. government telling citizens to donate money for a hurricane relief effort while the administration, from the president on down, has viciously abdicated its most basic responsibilities.
For the activities it views as really important, like the war on Iraq, the Bush White House hardly requires private contributions while siphoning off vast quantities of taxpayer funds. But when the task is to save lives instead of destroying them, kids are supposed to bust open their piggy banks."

Bush Strafes New Orleans - Where is our Huey Long?
Bush Strafes New Orleans - Where is our Huey Long?: "Huey Long was called a 'demagogue' and a 'dictator.' Of course. Because it was Huey Long who established the concept that a government of the people must protect the people, school, house, and feed them and give every man or woman a job who needs one.
Government, he said, 'We The People,' not plutocrats nor Halliburtons, must build bridges and levies to keep the waters from rising over our heads. All we had to do was share the nation's wealth we created as a nation. But that meant facing down what he called the 'concentrations of monopoly power' to finance the needs of the public.
In other words, Huey Long founded the modern Democratic Party. Franklin Roosevelt and the party establishment, scared senseless of Long's ineluctable march to the White House, adopted his program, called it the New Deal, and later The New Frontier and the Great Society.
America and the party prospered.
America could use a Democratic Party again and there's a rumor it's alive -- somewhere."

Democracy Now! | Historian: Government Relief Efforts to 1927 Mississippi Flood Faster Than Katrina
Democracy Now! | Historian: Government Relief Efforts to 1927 Mississippi Flood Faster Than Katrina: "While the survivors of Hurricane Katrina struggle to cope the devastation, this is not the first time the Gulf Coast has been wracked by a natural disaster.
In the spring of 1927, after weeks of incessant rains, the Mississippi River flooded. Racing south from Cairo, Illinois, the river blew away levee after levee, inundating thousands of farms and hundreds of towns, killing as many as a thousand people and leaving nearly a million homeless. The disaster laid bare the feudal between whites and blacks in the South."

When fiscal year 2005 wraps up Sept. 30, the Corps expects to have spent $82 million, a 44.2 percent reduction from 2001 expenditures. ... Unfunded projects include widening drainage canals, flood-proofing bridges and building pumping stations in Orleans and Jefferson parishes. The Corps also wants to build levees in unprotected areas on the West Bank. [New Orleans CityBusiness]"
Who Opened the New Orleans Floodgates?
Who Opened the New Orleans Floodgates?: "The New Orleans district of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers bore the brunt of a record $71.2 million reduction in federal funding for fiscal year 2006.
The Bush administration has been cutting funding for federal disaster relief funds since 2001 while doubling funding in other areas to pump up the biggest growth in government for decades, easily outstripping that of Bill Clinton.
A report from the Best of New Orleans news website outlines the details.
'...Among emergency specialists, 'mitigation' -- the measures taken in advance to minimize the damage caused by natural disasters -- is a crucial part of the strategy to save lives and cut recovery costs. But since 2001, key federal disaster mitigation programs, developed over many years, have been slashed and tossed aside. FEMA's Project Impact, a model mitigation program created by the Clinton administration, has been canceled outright. Federal funding of post-disaster mitigation efforts designed to protect people and property from the next disaster has been cut in half. Communities across the country must now compete for pre-disaster mitigation dollars.'"

Uganda Disputes Condom Shortage as U.N. Envoy Blames Bush AIDS Policy - Yahoo! News
Uganda Disputes Condom Shortage as U.N. Envoy Blames Bush AIDS Policy - Yahoo! News: "On Monday, Stephen Lewis, the U.N. Secretary-General's special envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa, said U.S. cuts in funding for condoms and a new emphasis on promoting abstinence had contributed to Uganda's condom shortage.
''To impose a dogma-driven policy that is fundamentally flawed is doing damage to Africa,'' Lewis told a teleconference sponsored by health and human rights organizations.
Uganda had been one of a handful of countries to significantly cut its HIV infection rate, from 15 percent in 1992 to six percent by 2002. The United States is Uganda's main donor for HIV/AIDS prevention.
Now, that progress is at risk, according to CHANGE. The administration of
President George W. Bush and the office of Uganda's first lady, Janet Museveni, have emphasized abstinence and funneled money to religious groups who push it to the detriment of the other two planks of Uganda's successful anti-AIDS platform, known as ABC for ''Abstinence, Be Faithful, and Condoms.''"
Everything this administration has its hand in, is fucked! This administration needs to abstain and abdicate from governence, NOW!

''Iraq policy cannot be seen as a partisan issue. The costs to our country have been far too great,'' said report co-author Erik Leaver. ''No part of our nation remains untouched by this war.

'We're not yet safe,' Bush said. 'Terrorists in foreign lands still hope to attack our country. They still hope to kill our citizens. The lesson of Sept. 11, 2001, is that we must confront threats before they fully materialize.'"

U.S. Says Terrorists May Pose As Vagrants - Yahoo!

It is based on a State Department report that was issued last week. The State Department had no immediate comment Monday.
The warning is similar to one issued by the
FBI before July 4, 2004 that said terrorists may attempt surveillance disguised as homeless people, shoe shiners, street vendors or street sweepers.

Al-Qaeda, a Secret Service Operation?
ZAMAN DAILY NEWSPAPER (2005081522982): "Countries facing the al-Qaeda threat are awaiting the intelligence Turkish security is to provide. Amid the smoke from the fortuitous fire emerged the possibility that al-Qaeda may not be, strictly speaking, an organization but an element of an intelligence agency operation. Turkish intelligence specialists agree that there is no such organization as al-Qaeda. Rather, Al-Qaeda is the name of a secret service operation. The concept “fighting terror” is the background of the “low-intensity-warfare” conducted in the mono-polar world order. The subject of this strategy of tension is named as “al-Qaeda.”"

Al-Marri alleged he once went 60 days without being permitted to leave his cell at all. Indoors, his complaint alleged, he must wear leg irons and handcuffs even to shower.
--Denied him basic hygiene products such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, and toilet paper. HRW said that al-Marri complained that when not provided with toilet paper, he has had to use his hands to clean himself after defecating and it has taken more than an hour before soap was brought to him so that he could wash his hands.
He also claimed he was denied appropriate care for medical and mental health symptoms developed while in the brig.
HRW backed the father of five.
''It is bad enough that al-Marri has been held indefinitely without charges and incommunicado,'' said Jamie Fellner, director of HRW's U.S. program.

Why Iran will lead to World War 3
Why Iran will lead to World War 3: "Iran has shown an unwillingness to be bullied by Washington. The Bush administration has co-opted the EU to enforce its double-standards by threatening military action, but that doesn't' conceal the duplicity of their demands. Why should Iran forgo the processing of nuclear fuel for peaceful purposes if it is written right into the treaty? Would Israel or Pakistan accept a similar proposal?
Of course, not. Both countries ignored the treaty altogether and built their own nuclear weapons behind the back of the international community. Only Iran has been singled out and punished for COMPLYING with the treaty. This demonstrates the power of Washington to dictate the international agenda.
Iran's refusal puts the EU in a position to refer the case to the IAEA, where the board members will make their determination and decide whether the case should be sent to the UN Security Council. Whether the IAEA passes the case along or not makes little difference. Bush, Sharon and the western media will exploit the details in a way that condemns Iran and paves the way for a preemptive attack. The drive to war will not be derailed by mere facts. "

ABC News: U.S. Military Wanted to Provoke War With Cuba
ABC News: U.S. Military Wanted to Provoke War With Cuba: "N E W Y O R K, May 1, 2001 In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba.
Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities."
The plans were developed as ways to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba's then new leader, communist Fidel Castro.
America's top military brass even contemplated causing U.S. military casualties, writing: "We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba," and, "casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation."

August 5, 2005 -- Even When Under Suspicion For Espionage, Neo-Cons Advocating War With Iran Continue To Spin Their Disinformation Via The Pentagon.
Wayne Madsen Report: "NBC News and other corporate media broadcast a Pentagon-inspired story on the Aug. 4 evening news broadcasts suggesting that the recent bombings of U.S. armored personnel carriers were accomplished with the use of deadly armored-piercing 'shaped charges' from Iran and possibly, Syria. NBC cited 'military and intelligence sources' as sources. But the fact that the network's Pentagon correspondent, Jim Miklaszewski, reported Iran's 'complicity' is an indication that the report came from the neocon disinformation and espionage factory in the Pentagon's Near East and South Asian Division and its Office of Northern Gulf Affairs -- the one-time office of indicted Israeli spy Larry Franklin."

Fake al-Zawahiri Video Warns of More Attacks: "Osama bin Laden died in December of 2001 from renal failure and was buried in the mountains of southeast Afghanistan.

Tim Wise: the Faulty Logic of Terrorist Profiling
Tim Wise: the Faulty Logic of Terrorist Profiling: "On the one hand, it is certainly true that 'suspicious behavior' is in the eye of the beholder. Furthermore, all available evidence suggests that law enforcement tends to 'see' dangerous or suspicious behavior more readily in the actions of persons of color than whites, even when the whites they ignore are more likely to be engaged in nefarious activity (possession of guns or drugs, for example). So on that level, searching folks based on their behavior may indeed lead to abuses, will not likley prevent terrorism, and should probably be considered as illegitimate as targeted profiling; but of course, it is not for fear of possible abuse that Sperry dislikes such searches. If anything, he would likely welcome them if such abuses could only be guaranteed.
Rather, Sperry thinks that searches based on behavior would be far less effective that his preferred method: focusing on people 'praying to Allah and smelling like flower water' Sperry suggests that suicide bombers douse themselves with perfume in anticipation of paradise, so this should be the basis for a search, but is he serious? With all the malodorous scents of a subway, how would one even be able to distinguish 'flower water,' in the first place? Or to tell it apart it from the overbearing scent of patchouli, slathered on the clothing of some white Deadhead in lieu of taking a bath for the past week?"

Fascism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fascism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The term fascism has come to mean any system of government resembling Mussolini's, that in various combinations:
- exalts the nation, (and sometimes the race or culture) above the individual, with the state apparatus being supreme.
- stresses loyalty to a single leader.
- uses violence and modern techniques of propaganda and censorship to forcibly suppress political opposition.
- engages in severe economic and social regimentation.
- engages in syndicalist corporatism.
- implements totalitarian systems.
"Corporations have been enthroned . . . An era of corruption in high places will follow and the money power will endeavor to prolong its reign by working on the prejudices of the people . . . until wealth is aggregated in a few hands . . . and the Republic is destroyed." President Abraham Lincoln"This is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people no longer. It is a government of corporations, by corporations, and for corporations." Rutherford B. Hayes, U.S President, 1876-1880
"The halls of legislation were transformed into a mart where the price of votes was haggled over, and laws, made to order, were bought and sold." -Mathew Josephson, in The Robber Barons
"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism. Ownership of government by an individual, by a group or by any controlling private power." President Franklin Delano Roosevelt
I keep thinking of Mussolini's definition of fascism: "Fascism should more properly be called 'corporatism,' since it is the marriage of government and corporate power." When was the last time we saw this administration do something that involved standing up to some corporate special interest in favor of the great majority of the people." Molly Ivins

Hollywood wins Internet piracy battle
The U.S. Supreme Court rules against file-sharing service Grokster in a closely watched piracy case.
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled [last month] that software companies can be held liable for copyright infringement when individuals use their technology to download songs and movies illegally.
RadicalRuss's diary :: ::
[Hollywood's] victory [last month]... dealt a big blow to technology companies, which claim that holding them accountable for the illegal downloading of songs, movies, video games and other proprietary products would stifle their ability to develop new products.
'We hold that one who distributes a device with the object of promoting its use to infringe copyright, as shown by clear expression or other affirmative steps taken to foster infringement, is liable for the resulting acts of infringement by third parties,' Justice Souter wrote.
Wait for it... wait for it...
Senate Moves to Shield Gun Industry
WASHINGTON - Senate Republicans on Tuesday moved the National Rifle Association's top priority ahead of a $491 billion defense bill, setting up a vote on legislation to shield firearms manufacturers and dealers from lawsuits over gun crimes.
'The president believes that the manufacturer of a legal product should not be held liable for the criminal misuse of that product by others,' said White House spokesman Scott McClellan. 'We look at it from a standpoint of stopping lawsuit abuse.'
The bill would prohibit lawsuits against the firearms industry for damages resulting form the unlawful use of a firearm or ammunition.

Terrorism: America Defines Its Targets
CounterPunch: "America's Best Political Newsletter": "The US definitions of terrorism become more problematic when we use them to judge the conduct of successive US governments. The United States has frequently employed violent actions against civilians at home and abroad which under its own definitions would have to be described as terrorism.[3] Indeed, in an objective evaluation of global terrorism over the past two centuries, a panel of the world's leading ethicists might well conclude that the United States easily belongs in the category of the worst offenders. Of course, Germany, Britain, France, Spain, Belgium, Italy, the Soviet Union, and Japan would also be jostling for the top positions on this list. If Iraq under Saddam appeared on this list at all, it might just win a place very close to the bottom."

Fake al-Qaeda Claims Responsibility for Fake Bombings
Another Day in the Empire: "It appears the “terrorists” who “failed to detonate bombs” yesterday did so because they didn’t want to wreck more expensive mass transit machinery. In other words, the real “terrorists” (not the Stepford Muslim pasties) work for the state and there is no sense destroying more stuff unless absolutely necessary, especially considering how this would negatively impact the stockholders of Metronet (a consortium of corporations). Government knows what side of its bread gets the butter. So it is off to al-Qaeda fairyland again with fallacious “internet statements” and the like. You’d think people would simply refuse to put up with this nonsense anymore. You’d think they’d throw open the windows and scream, like Howard Beale, they’re not going to take it anymore. Instead, there is a deafening silence, or at best an outraged murmur growing in the background."

Instead, you have an affirmative obligation to take 'appropriate and prompt corrective action.' [5] And the standards of proof are much different. A criminal violation of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, which Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald is investigating, requires a finding that Mr. Rove 'intentionally disclose[d]' the identity of a covert agent. [6] In contrast, the administrative sanctions under Executive Order 12958 can be imposed without a finding of intent. Under the express terms of the executive order, you are required to impose administrative sanctions - such as removal of office or termination of security clearance - if Mr. Rove or other officials acted 'negligently' in disclosing or confirming information about Ms. Wilson's identity.

Antiwar.com Blog
Antiwar.com Blog: "The controversy continues over an Associated Press story detailing the remarks of a “senior Israeli official” who claimed that Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in London for an economic conference, was warned by Scotland Yard “minutes” in advance of the terrorist bombings. According to the original story, Netanyahu’s prior knowledge was the cause of his not showing up at the conference, which took place at a hotel near the Liverpool Underground station. A subsequent AP report contained the Israeli’s government’s denial of a prior warning, and claimed that Netanyahu received a warning after the blasts.
Although the first AP story was never retracted, that didn’t prevent Israel’s American amen corner from claiming that it had been withdrawn, nor did it stop Stratfor.com from coming out with an analysis claiming that Israel knew 'days' in advance, and that it wasn’t Scotland Yard that informed Netanyahu. Former intelligence analyst Tommy Preston, of Preston Global, concurred.

Public Domain Progress: Frank Zappa was right.
Public Domain Progress: Frank Zappa was right.: "During his 1986 appearance on CNN's Crossfire, Zappa made it clear that the hullabaloo surrounding the censorship of rock lyrics was an attempt to suppress free speech. In the tradition of the late Lenny Bruce and George Carlin, Zappa said that he didn't 'believe there are any words that need to be suppressed.'
After getting steadily bashed by his counterpart, the conservative Washington Times columnist John Lofton, he turned toward him and told him to 'kiss my ass.' The program, which hadn't started out with any references to smooching, devolved to that point after an exasperated and infuriated Lofton kept accusing Zappa of refusing to condemn rock lyrics that encouraged incest.
During those early days of 'Crossfire' -- and some might argue it has remained that way until only the past few years -- the left was barely distinguishable from the right. 'From the left' was Tom Braden, who ran the C.I.A.'s covert cultural division in the early 1950's and 30 years later could barely muster up a coherent progressive thought, and 'from the right' was a younger and surprisingly less irascible Robert Novak. (To view the entire interview, see ifilm.com.)
Later, when Lofton claimed that America's families were under attack and threatened by out-of-control musicians, Zappa stated clearly that the 'the biggest threat to America is not communism, it's moving America toward a fascist theocracy, and everything that's happened during the Reagan Administration is steering us right down that path.'

Coverup of the Number of US Soldiers Killed in Iraq
GlobalResearch.ca - Coverup of the Number of US Soldiers Killed in Iraq: "Official US. government reports on soldiers under US command killed in Iraq are so fragmented that they account for less than half of the total number, according to information uncovered as part of an inquiry by the Government of Puerto Rico regarding the total number of Puerto Rican war casualties.
This analysis was confirmed by El Diario/La Prensa's review of multiple documents, including official reports issued by the US Department of Defense, the Iraqi Ministry of the Interior and more than 230 battlefront reports, which reveal that more than 4,076 troops under US command have been killed in 799 days of battle.
This information contrasts markedly with the limited information on casualties generally issued by US military authorities, which focus only on US uniformed troops. These total 1,649. "

Rep. McKinney to Hold All Day Briefing on 9/11 -- Exposing Sham of 9/11 Report :: 9/11 CitizensWatch :: We are concerned citizens challenging the official story of 9/11: "On July 22, 2005, Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) will host a full-day briefing, co-sponsored by Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ), and other sponsors, for Members of Congress and their staffs in the Caucus Room, Cannon House Office Building, Room 345, Independence Ave. & First Street SE, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. One year after the release of the 9/11 Commission Final Report many questions about what transpired on September 11, 2001 and who should be held accountable still remain unanswered. Serious flaws and omissions in the Report have been addressed by whistleblowers and academics. Well known researchers and authors have put the events of that day into historical perspective, and have suggested possible alternatives to the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission regarding intelligence reform, domestic and foreign policy. The hard evidence has yet to be properly evaluated, and points to the need for full transparency, release of information, and continued probative investigations to have an effective, democratic response to the crisis that confronts all of us."
Some believe London bombers were right-wing Britons
Some believe London bombers were right-wing Britons: "On July 12, The Times of London revealed that the explosives used in the London Transport bombings were military-grade explosives and investigators emphasized they believed the bombers were British and worked in small cells. Furthermore, although the British police are putting out information that suicide bombers were involved in the London bombings, Vince Cannistraro, the former CIA counter-terrorism chief, told The Guardian that 'two unexploded bombs' were recovered along with 'mechnical timing devices.' It goes without saying that suicide bombers would not have been using timing devices.
The belief that British right-wing terrorists may have carried out the London train bombings coincides with a major Italian investigation of ties between far-right Italian groups, Italian law enforcement personnel, U.S. Defense Department covert operations agents, and Jihadist terrorists."

Subdued Welcome For Bush At Indiana Black Expo
WAVE 3 TV Louisville, KY :: Subdued Welcome For Bush At Indiana Black Expo: "(INDIANAPOLIS) -- President Bush drew a subdued reaction Thursday from the crowd at an Indiana Black Expo luncheon, an event he decided to speak before rather than attend the NAACP convention.
Bush was greeted with a standing ovation and the crowd of about 3,000 people at the RCA Dome applauded several times during his speech, during which he touted his efforts to grow the economy and improve the opportunities available to all Americans."
"Bush received the Expo's Lifetime Achievement award for such things as supporting additional AIDS research, backing efforts to help offenders re-enter society after being released from prison, and creating more health centers in underserved areas, said Expo spokeswoman Alpha Garrett."
This is what I mean when I speak of domesticated Americans of African decent. This asshole Bush, must really be desperate to meet with any black folk with his opinion polls in the toilet, and black folk not signing up fast enough to become bullet stopper for Israel. As we all know, he will only appear before a hand picked crowd. Unfortunately you don’t have to pick to hard to get a gang of negroes together, just buy advertisement space on B.E.T. This is just fucking disgraceful. How does one give a "Lifetime Achievement Award" to a FUCKING WAR CRIMINAL? This goddamned demon is dripping with the blood of innocent children. His support of AIDS in Africa, has not been funded worth a damn its all rhetoric. Helping offenders re-enter society, if they ever get out of prison to begin with. Besides, this clown has set up a fucking gulag, and signed orders to have prisoners tortured. Those who don't go to prison are shot dead in the damn street; and eight year old girls are being tasered in school. Healthcare centers aint worth a damn, if the inequities in the quality of care are still not addressed. The article does not mention what type of healthcare facilities. Are they of the "faith based" type? You know, no abortions and just say no to sex and all that fairy tale bullshit?
Meanwhile, the armed services, which are disproportionately embedded with service people of color, are in a “war” this bastard cooked up out of the Office of Special Planning, and are continually dying for his buddies, carpetbaggers, and VP. to make a fast buck. Yet these negroes bend over backwards to crassly pander to a giggling murder? (In other words kiss his ass)
I guess the supply of Colons (read assholes), Condislezzas (read incompetent whore) and Supreme Uncle Thomases is vast indeed.
Do these ignorant niggas actually think this shit does not happen to black people? These ignoramuses do not see Arabs as their brothers, or lack a connect with the human experience in general. This is what I mean by the word “nigga”. Don’t get it twisted, Bush is a nigga as well, one of the highest order.
Can you believe this shit?

Those who don't go to prison are shot dead in the damn street; and eight year old girls are being tasered in school. Healthcare centers aint worth a damn, if the inequities in the quality of care are still not addressed. The article does not mention what type of healthcare facilities. Are they of the "faith based" type? You know, no abortions and just say no to sex and all that fairy tale bullshit?
Meanwhile, the armed services, which are disproportionately embedded with service people of color, are in a “war” this bastard cooked up out of the Office of Special Planning, and are continually dying for his buddies, carpetbaggers, and VP. to make a fast buck. Yet these negroes bend over backwards to crassly pander to a giggling murder? (In other words kiss his ass)
I guess the supply of Colons (read assholes), Condislezzas (read incompetent whore) and Supreme Uncle Thomases is vast indeed.
Do these ignorant niggas actually think this shit does not happen to black people? These ignoramuses do not see Arabs as their brothers, or lack a connect with the human experience in general. This is what I mean by the word “nigga”. Don’t get it twisted, Bush is a nigga as well, one of the highest order.
Can you believe this shit?

Life Behind the Wall
"We no longer can see the sun set'
"The Wall, the construction of began in June 2002, has severely disrupted and profoundly encumbered daily life. It has undermined and wretchedly destroyed the social and economic fabric Palestinian civil society. To make room for its path, entire orchards and olive groves have been uprooted. Farmers have no access to what little remains of their arable land. Thousands of Palestinian homes-over 42,165 in the West Bankhave been demolished by the Israeli military. Tens of thousands of dunams (1 dunam = 1000 square meters) have been confiscated by the Israeli military in this systematic process. Check-points and road-blocks obstruct Palestinians' unfettered access to schools, health clinics, and work. Families have been physically separated; and, in one instance, a house was purportedly divided in half. In Qalqilya, the wall rises to such a height that, it is said, one can no longer see the sun set."
"In one recent case, a woman with a complicated pregnancy was denied an exit permit at Israeli checkpoint near Qalqilya. She was giving birth to twins on the spot, yet the Israeli soldiers refused to let her drive to the nearest hospital for surgery. Both babies died."
What is it with American governments love of supporting racist apartheid rogue regimes?
Why are there not more, if any, Americans of Africa decent willing to speak up on this issue? Surely, one will immediately be smeared with the absurd label of "anti-semite" for putting to light this so-called "security fence". However, as descendants of Africa, as all human beings are, we can be the first to shrug of the childish slur of "anti-semitism" for what it is, a baseless slur, which is itself rooted in racism.
Now that the peoples of color, the Africans, Native Americans (Northern, and Southern), have either been conquered or domesticated, there only remains the Arabs left to be assimilated. Seeing as how some Arabs would rather prefer death, as opposed to annihilation, death is what is being promoted as "democracy and freedom". For surely death is what rides on the back of the horse of western democracy, and one is only truly free, of the hell that is life for some, after death

- Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
- When you say, "I love you," mean it.
- When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.
- Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
- Believe in love at first sight.

- In disagreements, fight fairly. No name-calling.
- Don't judge people by their relatives.

- Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
- When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
- Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
The only thing I can object, personally to is #15. I just don't believe in a person losing a little piece of their soul everytime they sneeze.
Take what's good from this, and pass it on. Remember that movie "Pay it forward"?
I normally don't like "spam" but this caught my attention, because I have theorized about many of these points. This list is confirmation, that I'm a very thoughtful brother, if you don't mind me tooting my own horn;)
The Plame Affair: Rove and Cheney Are Guilty As Charged
The Plame Affair: Rove and Cheney Are Guilty As Charged: "Within the next days or weeks, it is anticipated that Independent Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald will ask a Federal grand jury to hand down indictments against one or more senior White House officials, for obstruction of justice, perjury, and, perhaps, violation of national security laws banning the public disclosure of the identities of American undercover agents. The two names that have surfaced most prominently in the two-year old probe are White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove and Vice Presidential Chief of Staff I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby. The scandal unavoidably tars Vice President Dick Cheney and President George W. Bush."
Bush has demonstrated, with increasing frequency in recent weeks, that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. LaRouche has pointed to the President's oft-repeated declarations that the U.S. Treasury bonds on deposit in the Social Security Trust Fund are "useless IOUs," as evidence that he is no longer qualified to discharge his duties as President. Such cavalier declarations of a sovereign default on the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, alone, constitute an act of political insanity and incompetence, that prove his incompetence to serve. As the United States and the world move into the most deadly systemic financial and economic crisis in modern times—as early as this Summer—the question must be asked: Can the nation survive a continuation of the Bush-Cheney Presidency?

Ben Tripp: The Inevitablity of George W. Bush: "Say what you will about the accomplices secretly running the show: Bush himself is the president. He is no dupe. A slobbering cretin nearly incapable of forming a coherent thought, or of operating a bicycle on a hill without running over a policeman; a feckless, soulless meta-bureaucrat with the attention span of a hydroencephalitic flea preoccupied with revenge, machismo, booze, and proving to his father he's not a latent homosexual: these things he indubitably is. But he's not a puppet merely. It is his magical ability to wrest defeat from the jaws of victory that will end America's unsuitable world domination. Then we can get on with averting the next ice age. Far too late to save what's left of the world as we know it, but that's the cosmic joke our species seems never to get, no matter how often the punch line is repeated."

Everything You Need to Know About Michael Ledeen
Everything You Need to Know About Michael Ledeen: "The belief in a single voice that governs the public should cause all Americans to understand these men want to convert this nation to a permanent dictatorship. Their inspirer was Leo Strauss, a professor who taught Machiavellian methods to many of them at the University of Chicago. In fact, Paul Wolfovitz earned his doctorate under Strauss and many of the neo-cons in the White House studied under him. Strauss believed every society needs a “single public orthodoxy.” As Drury put it, “a set of ideas that defines what is true and false, right and wrong, noble and base.” Strauss believed that the role of religion was indispensable to the political success of a nation. For a political society had to hold together and act as a unit in lock step with the leader. Strauss believed that religion was the means to inculcate the desired ideas into the minds of the masses. He didn’t care what religion—just as long as it was a religion that could link itself to the political order."

Chuck D Interview
The Progressive Magazine: "I first heard Public Enemy in 1987 when a tape of the rap group’s Yo! Bum Rush the Show was making the rounds in my neighborhood. While the boldness of the music was like nothing I had heard before, it paled in comparison to the group’s next record, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back (1988). Incendiary and groundbreaking, it now stands as a political manifesto for youth—both black and white—to quote a lyric, “of the same mind, unblind.”"
Chuck D, and Public Enemy changed my life. I was twenty one years old before I had ever heard of Malcolm X. Public Enemy introduced me to Minister Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. "Don't tell me that you understand, until you hear the man".("Don't Believe The Hype")
I never believe the hype, and neither should you!
Peace!

Q: What are some of the songs that remain vital from It Takes a Nation?

See No Evil: Spinning Netanyahu's London Terror Tip-off

Instead of citing self-interested Israeli government officials, and someone who once worked for the ultra-right-wing Netanyahu, it cites an Israeli government whistleblower who has nothing to gain from telling the truth, and everything to lose (including his job)."

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

Paul Harvey's Tribute to Slavery, Nukes, Genocide: "In 2004, Disney forbid its Miramax subsidiary to distribute Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11, even though Miramax was the principal investor in the film. A Disney executive told the New York Times (5/5/04) that it was declining to distribute the film because, in the paper's words, 'Disney caters to families of all political stripes and believes Mr. Moore's film...could alienate many.'
One wonders whether Disney executives are worried about alienating families who oppose slavery, nuclear war and Native American genocide."

The Black Commentator - Freedom Rider: America’s Love of Empire - Issue 144
The Black Commentator - Freedom Rider: America’s Love of Empire - Issue 144: "Love of the empire is America’s true religion. The latest flag bill is called the “Flag Desecration Amendment.” It is an interesting choice of words. The flag is not a religious symbol, but it symbolizes an empire that many people love more than the God they claim to believe in. The system that Old Glory symbolizes looms larger than any church that Americans walk into on a Sunday morning.
The system that rewards white people more than any other group, the powerful more than the powerless, and the wealthy over the poor is seen as being inviolate and perfect. Love of the empire makes otherwise rational people vote against their economic and political interests. It makes otherwise peaceful people love violence and death."

Heaven's Gate
Heaven's Gate: "'One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief,' then-candidate Bush told Herskowitz. 'My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it. If I have a chance to invade ... I'm not going to waste it. I'm going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I'm going to have a successful presidency.'
Thus, by his own admission, Bush regards war -- slaughter, ruin, chaos and terror -- as the measure of success, the path to greatness. He sees blood as the prime lubricant for his rapacious domestic policies. He uses unprovoked military aggression to achieve his personal and political goals.
In what way, then, is he different from the moral cretins who were hanged at Nuremberg? "

Chapter -III- Race Hygiene: Three Bush Family Alliances
``The [government] must put the most modern medical means in the service of this knowledge.... Those who are physically and mentally unhealthy and unworthy must not perpetuate their suffering in the body of their children.... The prevention of the faculty and opportunity to procreate on the part of the physically degenerate and mentally sick, over a period of only 600 years, would ... free humanity from an immeasurable misfortune.''
``The per capita income gap between the developed and the developing countries is increasing, in large part the result of higher birth rates in the poorer countries.... Famine in India, unwanted babies in the United States, poverty that seemed to form an unbreakable chain for millions of people--how should we tackle these problems?.... It is quite clear that one of the major challenges of the 1970s ... will be to curb the world's fertility.''
These two quotations are alike in their mock show of concern for human suffering, and in their cynical remedy for it: Big Brother must prevent the `` unworthy '' or `` unwanted '' people from living.
Let us now further inquire into the family background of our President, so as to help illustrate how the second quoted author, George Bush's1 came to share the outlook of the first, Adolf Hitler's.2

In the fictional Marvel Comics multiverse, Earth-616 or Earth 616 is the name used to identify the primary continuity in which most Marvel Comics titles take place.
Many fans believed that "616" was a reference to the Number of the Beast in the final chapter of the Christian Bible, the Book of Revelation (or the Apocalypse of John). While most early manuscripts give the Number of the Beast as "666", the earliest existing fragment of the Greek text of this book gives it as "616". Irenaeus argued against the "616" number in his neverending battle against early heresies. Moore, a student of mystic esoterica from a very early age, could well have known about this alternate rendering. Quite why the Marvel Universe should even be named after the Number of the Beast may be an indirect reference to set it apart from the DC Universe. For many years, the headquarters of DC Comics was located at 666 Fifth Avenue in New York City. Thus, the name could be a subtle joke that the DC Universe was Earth-666 while the Marvel Universe was Earth-616; both numbers, of course, are renderings of the Number of the Beast.

Venus A True Goddess
Once No. 1 in the world, then just second best in her family, Williams had won only one tournament in the last 13 months and tumbled in the rankings. At No. 14, she is Wimbledon's lowest-seeded women's champion.
"It has special meaning," Williams said. "I wasn't supposed to win."
You won before the match began sister.
Brings tears to my eyes.
Downing Street Memo:So What's New?
"By flagrantly flaunting international laws and international institutions, American presidents are eroding the international system for resolving disputes, maintaining peace and order, and civilizing human conduct during conflicts. As the Downing Street memo reveals, President Bush exploited the United Nations to suit his own purposes and undermined the credibility of the Security Council. His legal advisors have interpreted international law to excuse illegal behaviour. Their interpretation of defence in clause 51 in the UN Charter has no legal validity. The invention of new terms such as "preemptive strike" and "unlawful combatant" to redefine international law on the run has only served to undermine international law. Either the laws are amended through legitimate mechanisms or they remain in force. George W Bush and the other presidents are nothing more than vigilantes."

Expatriation
Well, its official, the New World Order is here, alive and well. I need to get the fuck out of this country. The PATRIOT ACT is being used against homeless people; the government can seize your home for big business, there is no reliable healthcare for people of color. I can't even get a dentist to give me an honest estimation of my dental situation, even with insurance. Half of the American public still believes Saddam attacked this country. Redneck, Klansmen, and Nazis are now emboldened by this fascist regime. Police have lost their minds even more so, and are torturing eight year old black girls with tasers. A white hoe comes up missing for a half hour, and they send out the search squads. When it comes out that the bitch lied about being kidnapped by a Hispanic male, the tramp is offered a movie and book deal, instead of going straight to jail. Did you see a picture of the "Runaway Hoe"? See had that deer caught in the headlights look, definitely a crack head. Crack heads are the only ones that come up missing for days on end, and pop up out of no fucking where, with a wild ass story. You don't see their ass being offered no damn movie contracts for their story do you? A white mothafucka make up a story and another white mothafucka will swallow that shit whole. Which is exactly how this country got into Iraq. Once again torture is the status quo in this country. A few bad apples my ass, this country loves torture. Always has, and always will. So for those who say love it or leave it, you win. At the bottom of this page is a donation button. For those that believe in that love it or leave it, redneck Taoism, put your money where your mouth is, and help me cross the border. Where I can get to a civilized first world country, that still knows what civil rights, and rule of law still means. Redneck Taoism, they're using the PATRIOT ACT to keep people from coming into the country. I'm trying to leave the country because of the rednecks and their USA PATRIOT ACT.
Yin meets the Yang.
Also, if you happen to be reading this and are an African of American descent, who is an expatriate, please leave a commnet as to hows life in the civilized world?
