“The Lady doth protest too much, methinks. “ - William Shakespeare
It pains me to agree with that ranter Richard Cohen of the Washington Post. But, every once in a while, like that insufferable Neocon, Jonah Goldberg, he gets it right. On Feb. 25, 2008, Cohen ripped Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY), a veritable new you-know-what. At the moment, she running very badly for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination. Her negative, attack-dog campaign tactics are also dragging the party down (…)

Greensboro Massacre : Justice Delayed or Denied?
28 February 2008 par (Open-Publishing)
3 commentsOne fundamental right Americans enjoy is the right to be free from “double jeopardy.” As described in the Fifth Amendment to the Bill of Rights, double jeopardy means that no person shall “for the same offense . . . be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.” Court rulings dealing with double jeopardy issues ultimately developed the “merger doctrine.” This doctrine has two prongs.
One prong states that when a person is found guilty of a criminal offense all lesser offenses that were—or (…) -
The two faces of Barack Obama, by Bill Van Auken (GlobalResearch)
28 February 2008 par (Open-Publishing)
4 commentsAppearing before a packed auditorium at the University of Wisconsin Tuesday on the night of his victories in the “Potomac primaries,” held in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., Illinois senator and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama delivered a speech that was notable for its populist demagogy, not only on the war in Iraq but also social conditions in America.
The Wisconsin rally is the latest in a series of campaign events that have drawn large and predominantly younger (…) -
The Mother of All Dumb Ideas
27 February 2008 par (Open-Publishing)
The Mother of All Dumb Ideas By David Glenn Cox We’ve all had dumb ideas in our past and I don’t exempt myself from this. I once threw Gunk engine degreaser on the floor to degrease it. Just one thing, I forgot to turn off the pilot light on the water heater first. Dumb? Man, that was dumb. After I got the fire put out my boss asked me, "Did you learn anything today?" I slowly shook my head and humbly answered, "Yes, yes I did." But my mistake was an error, not of comprehension but of (…)

Paralyzed With Fear
27 February 2008 par (Open-Publishing)
I’m not normally someone who becomes incapacitated by fear. Whenever I have to address something that frightens me, I do so without hesitation and usually discover that the object of my fright is not as frightening as I feared.
For the last few years, however, I’ve been increasingly incapacitated by my growing fear about the rapidly approaching future. What scares the hell out of me? Total economic collapse, for one, which will make the Great Depression of the 1930s seem like a picnic in (…) -
The Neocons’ Ties to the 9/11 Commission’s Report
26 February 2008 par (Open-Publishing)
“A lie would make no sense, unless the truth were felt to be dangerous.” - Carl G. Jung
Philip Shenon’s insightful “The Commission: The Uncensored History of the 9/11 Investigation,” is a book that I found hard to put down. An investigative reporter for the NY Times, he gives a detailed history of the so-called “official” inquiry, authorized by the U.S. Congress, into the tragedy of September 11, 2001. One of the central characters in this compelling saga is a master manipulator, Philip (…) -

Canadian government authorizes American troops to occupy Canada
25 February 2008 par (Open-Publishing)
For all those who have been warning us about the Integration of Canada, United States and Mexico with the emergence of the North American Union, this latest agreement between Canada and the United States confirms what everyone feared.
The Canadian government has yet again signed an agreement in secret with the United States in an attempt to dismantle Canada. This latest agreement allows the US military to occupy Canada in case of an ‘emergency’, and vice versa.

Election Madness
25 February 2008 par (Open-Publishing)
By Howard Zinn, The Progressive
There’s a man in Florida who has been writing to me for years (ten pages, handwritten) though I’ve never met him. He tells me the kinds of jobs he has held-security guard, repairman, etc. He has worked all kinds of shifts, night and day, to barely keep his family going. His letters to me have always been angry, railing against our capitalist system for its failure to assure "life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness" for working people.
Just today, a letter (…)
