    24 September 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    On the evening of Sept. 23, 2008, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gave a talk, in Baltimore, MD, at the Central Pratt Library. It focused on her new book, “Know Your Power.” During the Q&A period, she was confronted about the issue of impeachment. The question was: “Why don’t you initiate the impeachment of President Bush?” Her response to the query was very long winded. She said impeachment proceedings would play into the hands of the Republican Caucus in the House. Speaker Pelosi added: (…)

  • Does America have what it takes?
    23 September 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    Wall Street is a form of legalized gambling and Prostitution in America. The People need to do a mancheck (balls) of all Congressman, Senators and US Government leaders to determine why America is being consolidated and sold to the highest bidder and why they are afraid to stand up and fight back. A 700 Billion...actually over a Trillion worthless US dollars is being used to reward rape and failure of Harvard, Yale, Princeton and other prestigious universities trained business dummies to (…)

    The Fruit of Hypocrisy
    Dishonesty in the finance sector dragged us here, and Washington looks ill-equipped to guide us out

    Joseph Stiglitz’s ZSpace Page
    Houses of cards, chickens coming home to roost - pick your cliche. The new low in the financial crisis, which has prompted comparisons with the 1929 Wall Street crash, is the fruit of a pattern of dishonesty on the part of financial institutions, and incompetence on the part (…)

    Primary Vote Still Doesn’t Add Up
    By Nikita Stewart and Elissa Silverman, Washington Post Staff Writers, Monday, September 22, 2008;
    As District officials continue to investigate errors in the early vote tallies from the Sept. 9 primary, one number stands out: 1,542.
    That number appeared in the category for "over votes" in 13 separate races when the D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics released early results on election night. But those votes inexplicably vanished shortly after midnight, (…)

  • The Triple Whammy of Bigotry in the 2008 Election
    22 September 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    It’s been awhile since a black man was lynched in America, but the Rove Gang’s getting the crowd ginned up for another one and the town’s on edge.
    The last lynching took place 10 years ago in East Texas Bush Country when three young white racists chained James Byrd, a 49-year-old father of three, to the back of their pickup truck and dragged him down the highway until his body was dismembered.
    If John McCain and his character assassins and vote riggers succeed, the next one will occur in (…)

  • A Nation of Masochists
    22 September 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    "I send my tormentor hurrying hither and thither in the service of my suffering and desire." Mason Cooley (d.2002)
    I have concluded that Americans, who pretend in public to be straightlaced, are in fact rabid masochists addicted to whips, black leather and the application of fists. It turns out that large numbers of people throughout the world are accidentally asphyxiated every year because they need to be chocked for maximum pleasure.
    The diagnosis of national masochism is the only (…)

    In Designing Their New Economic Ship Of State, Corporations Forgot What Fuels Economies - The Gas Tank Is Dry
    Dan Stafford - 09/22/2008
    No economy works if the majority of the populace can’t afford to buy anything.
    This should be simple and basic. If wages are too low, and costs too high, across a broad spectrum of the population , economic activity stops. The rich will only buy so many items, being one % of the population, or so, they are not enough to "fuel" a global economy.

  • It’s time for All of us to weigh-in on global economic policy - NOW, before Bush grabs extreme powers

    All - we need to speak loudly and clearly now, in the pivotal moments of this artificially-induced economic melt-down.
    I believe that the Fascists have engineered this crisis in order to implement an unprecedented economic power grab.
    The calls by Democrats and others for oversight and a plan that serves and saves everyday people needs to be supported. If every voice is not raised, there will be unprecedented human suffering as the rich seize anything and everything they wish.

    Any bombing atrocity of conceivable benefit to the US in its War on Terror (aka its War for Oil and Hegemony) is very likely to be due to US state terrorism. The leading Pakistani newspaper the Pakistan Daily has reported evidence of a US involvement in the Marriott Hotel bombing atrocity in Islamabad in which over 60 people were killed (see “What was mysterious activity going on in the Marriott Hotel Islamabad by US Marines?”: ).
    In short, according to the Pakistan Daily report, a key (…)
