    Zyklon B on the US Border
    By ALEXANDER COCKBURN
    Zyklon B came to El Paso in the 1920s. In 1929, for example, a U.S. Public Health Service officer, J.R. Hurley, ordered $25 worth of the material—hydrocyanic acid in pellet form—as a fumigating agent for use at the El Paso delousing station, where Mexicans crossed the border from Juárez.

    Once again, we find our political leadership united around a very bad idea, ethanol and other biofuels to help gain "energy independence," to "help farmers" and most importantly, to help citizens avoid the harsh reality of peak oil converging with unsustainable lifestyles. It is understandable that the politicians must pander to the corn growing (…)

    September 15 — Turn Up the Heat in Washington DC! Calendar of upcoming anti-war events
    We want to thank the thousands of people and many organizations that have responded to ANSWER’s May 31 Proposal to the Anti-War Movement. The essence of the proposal is for all the anti-war coalitions and organizations to come together to mobilize the largest single mass march on Washington DC under the demand End the War Now!

    If Israel is the model, it would follow that all Arab countries must be allowed to obtain and develop nuclear weapons without being signatory to the NPT or the necessity of inspectors to verify their arsenal. All Arab countries are free to violate any and all UN Resolutions. And all Arab countries are (…)

    The Mainstream Media loves to report about bombs in Iraq, about pundit’s opinions, about Generals assessments, about success stories (limited thought they are), about paraplegics coming home to overcome challenges...and even return to Iraq to fight!, about services for heroes, and about the cost of war.
