- Hey y’all, got your television sets on? Sure hope so. It’s your patriotic duty. Deadeye Dick has his tuned to FOX News. - Let us consider Scalia as the Mafia don of the Supremes and the highest court, responsible for appointing our would-be dictator, George W. Bush. - It’s not people who derive pleasure from kiddy porn of even "al-Qaeda" operatives the government is worried about monitoring. It can be argued that the government likes the idea of child pornography because it serves as an excuse to increase their dictatorial power and dismantle the Constitution, as the "threat" of drugs did for decades (and before that, the threat of "communism"). If not for porn and "al-Qaeda," the government would have no excuse. - Biological Threat and Executive Order 13292 - Until now, the eight-year-old company has confined itself to training military and police personnel and providing security guards for government and private clients. Under Black's proposal, it would take on an overt combat role. - In scale, duration and the sheer arrogance of their crimes, West African warlords shrink into nothingness besides the white mass murderers who were forgiven for limitless war crimes in Mozambique, Angola, Zimbabwe, Namibia and inside South Africa itself. - Thirty-five years after the US sprayed the jungles of Vietnam with toxic defoliant, thousands of babies are still being born with horrific defects. But unlike the American veterans, no one in the war-ravaged country has received any compensation.

- AGAIN, IT'S FOR THE OIL STUPID, AND THE THIRD AND FOURTH TARGETS ARE IRAN AND VENEZUELA - If Iran covertly intervened in America’s so-called election process, spied on American politicians, buzzed over military bases and nuclear labs with drones, and otherwise spent billions to undermine the United States and collect intelligence in advance of an invasion or massive shock and awe campaign, the American people would be calling for the government to defend itself by all means necessary... - World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz is considering expanding bank operations in Iraq, which would put his agency at the center of rebuilding from a war he helped plan as the Pentagon's former No. 2 official. - The connections between the Bushes and Hinckleys... - The Government is to hold secret talks with defence chiefs tomorrow to discuss possible military strikes against Iran. - It’s all part of a concerted effort to send her packing to the political wilderness and deliver a stern message—criticism of the official fairy tale of nine eleven, as promulgated by Congress, the corporate media, and the neocons at the behest of the White House and the Pentagon, will not be tolerated. If racism is required in this effort, so be it. - The rate of violent deaths in war-ravaged northern Uganda is three times higher than in Iraq and the 20-year insurgency has cost $1.7bn (£980m), according to a report by 50 international and local agencies released today. - The ABC producer in question, John Green, has been suspended and forced to make a groveling apology to the White House, a gesture that sounds straight outta Stalinist Russia. - The odd Bangkok prostitute aside, no one's taken better care of Neil than his dear old mom. - Three Years in Iraq
- The aim is to pacify and remove the public influence on foreign policies. - The smug indifference of the elite is matched by the governments they do not vote in, but control. - A Terrible Weapon in the Hands of the Rich - ... the easy oil has been found and the hard to find stuff is now on its way to being used up. - Moussaoui reminds one of the Palestinian buzz boy Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, who confessed to the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy shortly after the event... - One president faces death for being shot at and one student will be in prison for most of his adult life for threatening another president. All presidents aren’t created equal. - ...the Iraqi health care system had indeed been battered beyond recognition by the efforts of the United States and its allies. - Get used to it until Bush and his gang are gone. - The stage is being set for the US to fall. You have to understand that illegals ARE NOT the problem. It is our corrupt government who allows them to come here in the first place, driving down the wages and pushing the country into a slave society. - A direct U.S. military intervention in Colombia clearly would have little to do with combating drugs. After all, if that were the true objective then the Bush administration would be targeting the country’s paramilitary leaders who, under the demobilization agreement, have been allowed to maintain their drug trafficking organizations while avoiding extradition to the United States...
- The desire for sons has created a severe shortage of marriageable young women. As their value rises, unscrupulous men are trading them around the subcontinent and beyond as if they were a mere commodity - Official version of events a conspiracy theory, says drills were cover for attacks - José Padilla, also known as the Muslim Abdullah al-Muhajir, was denied an appeal by the Supreme Court earlier today, thus paving the way for the neocons to arrest anybody they want and throw them in a military brig or Halliburton concentration camp and abandon them to rot... - He is the warmonger’s war-monger.... He makes Bush look like Gandhi .... The prospect of President John McCain should scare the hell out of you. - The United States’ invasion and occupation of Iraq has two primary objectives, plus a third that stems from the first two.

Hundreds? Thousands? How about 3.
- The United States hoped sending a heavily armed brigade of several thousand troops to Barahona, a small city on the southern coast of the Dominican Republic 50 miles from the Haitian border, would go unnoticed. - ...the United States, United Nations, Britain, and the "coalition of the killing" are responsible for the death of well over two million people in Iraq (and an incalculable number of others are certain to die in the Middle East and elsewhere from the use of depleted uranium and other toxins). - Virtually no media coverage has been given to the latest laws, even though they will authorise the government and its security agencies for the first time to intercept the telephone and email communications of completely innocent people. - Donaldson had accrued many enemies over the years.

- The companies that provide Americans with their homeowners and auto insurance made a record $44.8-billion profit last year even after accounting for the claims of policyholders wiped out by Hurricane Katrina and the other big storms of 2005...Top executives described the profit — an 18.7% increase over the previous year — as a fluke - ...this move today is nothing more than the beginning of a frontal attack by Corporate America on the progressive movement, using the Democratic Party as an all-too-transparent cloak of legitimacy. - Feeling insecure about your job harms both mental and physical health -- whether you actually lose your job or not. - ...Katie Couric, CFR member, will leave NBC and head for CBS, where she will be an "anchorwoman," managing editor, and the "new homecoming queen of news," or rather government script reading. - An exposé by the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) and Free Press reveals that corporate propaganda has infiltrated local television news across the country. - ...take another look at the folks who invented the word liberté.

- The original Europeans in what is now the US were not immigrants, but colonists.

And now, even the threat of jail. - The conduct of our current crew of mass media charlatans has often been compared to the yellow journalism that ignited the Spanish/American war of 1898. But with the Iraq conflict we have a new combustible ingredient: yellow think tanks. When the pundits of the American Enterprise Institute speak, the New York Times listens... - ...the World Trade Center (WTC) was obsolete and asbestos-laced, and...its destruction on 9/11 may, for certain interests in the U.S., have been both desirable and profitable--independent of any interest in war.
