  • No Change for me: I want Bills. US Election Circus Awash in Cliches
    7 January 2008 par (Open-Publishing)
    1 comment

    by Daniel Patrick Welch
    In the runup to this year’s political circus, the buzzwords of hope and change are being bandied about like the cheap currency they are. Divested of any real meaning by their repetition and cynical misapplication, they quickly become the empty slogans that make "election" season all the more depressing. Newspeak, long the vernacular of a self-perpetuating media coroporatocracy, has rendered the worst year in Iraq into proof that "the surge is working." By (…)

  • The Verdict Is In: Our Voting System Is a Loser

    Interview: An interview with author William Poundstone.
    By Michael Mechanic January 2, 2007
    It’s heartening to know, as primary season begins, that ours may be the worst of all the voting systems in common use. That’s the takeaway from Gaming the Vote: Why Elections Aren’t Fair (and What We Can Do About It), the latest of eleven books by William Poundstone, a professional skeptic who studied physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before he began pumping out nonfiction in (…)

    by STEVEN LEE MYERS, DAVID E. SANGER and ERIC SCHMITT
    WASHINGTON - President Bush’s senior national security advisers are debating whether to expand the authority of the Central Intelligence Agency and the military to conduct far more aggressive covert operations in the tribal areas of Pakistan.
    The debate is a response to intelligence reports that Al Qaeda and the Taliban are intensifying efforts there to destabilize the Pakistani government, several senior administration officials (…)

    Why I Believe Bush Must Go
    Nixon Was Bad. These Guys Are Worse.
    By George McGovern Sunday, January 6, 2008; Page B01
    As we enter the eighth year of the Bush-Cheney administration, I have belatedly and painfully concluded that the only honorable course for me is to urge the impeachment of the president and the vice president.
    After the 1972 presidential election, I stood clear of calls to impeach President Richard M. Nixon for his misconduct during the campaign. I thought that my (…)

    “If you made public all the information that the FBI have on this case, you will see very high-level people going through criminal trials,” she said.
    Strangely, or perhaps not, a number of people seem to have dual allegiance. No?

  • U.S. law firms could help shape Afghanistan’s future — for price
    6 January 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    Law firms that contribute money to the U.S. effort towards an effective and transparent justice system in Afghanistan will be given a say in the carrying out of those policies. Bigger contributors will have more involvement, including the opportunity to go on official trips to Afghanistan. Donations by law firms will be tax deductible, but they can’t earmark donations for specific uses. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says the plan is "essential to the country’s success" in combating (…)

  • Vengeance, Blackwater Style: US and Western Mainstream Media try to conceal War Crimes in Fallujah
    4 January 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    Every time I read a story published in Western mainstream media about what transpired in Fallujah in 2004 during two US assaults on the city I feel sick.
    The evidence proving that the United States committed war crimes, slaughtering innocent men, women and children is irrefutable. The US military’s use of chemical weapons is irrefutable. The destruction of a city amounting to collective punishment is irrefutable. All of this occurred because four Blackwater mercenaries were killed by (…)

  • Hillary’s Campaign in a Tailspin

    Mark Penn - Hillary Clinton’s chief strategist - was going to be the next political guru, part Rove and part Carville until he ran straight into Reality. Last night Iowans voted 71% for opponents and 29% for the supposed unbeatable Hillary. What gives?
    Penn has never understood Hillary’s campaign very well for the following reasons:
    1. Deciding to imitate Karl Rove’s tactics after Hillary’s meltdown in Philly,
    2. Focus Group polling that was woefully out of touch with prevailing (…)

    American media remains silent, showing how Vatican-led NWO controls free speech? Eric Phelps again tries, this time in overseas publication, to rip-off the Vatican’s scarlet veil of deception.
    By Greg Szymanski Jan. 1, 2008
    Eric Jon Phelps, author of Vatican Assassins, was recently interviewed by the Beirut Times, the official newspaper of the Lebanese and Arab Americans in the United States.
    In his interview, Phelps again tries to rip-off the scarlet veil of deception surrounding the (…)
