    by Jason Miller
    For several days I had been bedeviled by the recurring memory of a jingle from an out-dated television commercial. My recollection of the product they were promoting lay tantalizingly close to the edge of my consciousness, but remained stubbornly out of my reach.
    So my “mind’s ear” was left listening to, “It’s time for a new beginning…” ad nauseam with no tangible context. (If I had had that, I would at least have known which company to despise for etching such an inane (…)

  • Fake Congressional Opposition to War

    by Stephen Lendman
    The US electorate sent a clear, unequivocal message in the November mid-term elections. End the Iraq war and bring home the troops. Many supporting war in the 109th Congress lost out to more moderate voices taking over their seats because voters want change and expect new faces to deliver starting with the top issue on voters’ minds in recent polls - Iraq. A majority of the public demands it, protests and heated rhetoric continue building over it, and the Congress is (…)

    To the U.S. Congress if you can’t end this war, go look for other work By Mary MacElveen March 16, 2007
    In speaking out against this war, those that have done so have pushed all fear aside and have done so with immense courage. If one is to look at the definition of courage, one is, “the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear; bravery.” The other being, “have the courage of one’s convictions, to act in accordance with one’s (…)

    President Bush, the Iraqi people are not collateral damage they are victims By Mary MacElveen March 16, 2007
    The other night I started to write an editorial asking what did the Iraqis do to the United States of America to deserve their fate and put it aside to finish up at a later time. In preparing to finish it up tonight, I logged onto the CrooksAndLiars.com web site only to see a heart breaking Sixty Minutes story which aired this past Sunday called Will They Ever Trust Us Again? It is (…)

    Call Dennis Kucinich’s office to thank him: 202-225-5871
    A few days ago, I sent out a frustrated email to a small listserv that includes some major peace activists in the nation, including Dennis and Elizabeth Kucinich. My email reads as follows:
    With the impending invasion of Iran, which will probably turn nuclear (or “nukular” as some say), why is no member of Congress introducing Articles of Impeachment?
    We live in a rogue state…who will stop them?
    I received the standard reply (…)

    Does AIPAC unduly influence the United States Congress? By Mary MacElveen March 15, 2007
    In reading this piece, AIPAC conference opens to controversy starting with John Hagee the quote that I zeroed in on was one made by Senator Barack Obama who is a Democratic presidential candidate when he said, “We should take no option, including military action, off the table, and show strong support for Israel’s actions in last summer’s war against Hezbollah,” The option he speaks of is a possible (…)

    After our "holier than thou" General Pace made his comment about the immorality of homosexuality, presidential hopeful extreme Right wing Congressman Duncan Hunter (part of the military industrial complex) and a war hawk extraordinaire...made a statement which is false right down to the ground: "Morality is what our Marines are all about; they fight to protect our right to have morals"
    How’s that again? What’s the last time you saw a TV commercial for any military service saying: "Join (…)

    Venezuelan Fighter Shoots Down US F-16 over Cuba
    By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
    Conflicting reports are emerging from Cuba today that allege the shooting down of an American F-16 Fighter Jet by a Venezuelan Sukhoi-30MK2 Russian Fighter Jet participating in large scale Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces wargames in Pinar del Rio province.
    The United States has denied these reports and state that their F-16 Fighter Jet crashed off the coast of Cuba due to an (…)
