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."

The AIDS virus: Made in the USA?: "October 26, 2005—You mean AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) didn’t come from a green monkey that bit a black African on the ass? Are you lying to us again, Uncle Sam? I think so."
More on this obvious issue.
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...

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
Attorney: Police Shot Teen With Taser Gun At Least Seven Times: "A teen who police shot with a Taser gun at least seven times said they had no reason to attack him, but the Hialeah police chief disagrees.
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."
More Nazis and their new toy.
When are these vermin going to be brought to justice?

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."
