    Mayan priests will purify a sacred archaeological site to eliminate "bad spirits" after President Bush visits next week, an official with close ties to the group said Thursday.
    "That a person like (Bush), with the persecution of our migrant brothers in the United States, with the wars he has provoked, is going to walk in our sacred lands, is an offense for the Mayan people and their culture," Juan Tiney, the director of a Mayan nongovernmental organization with close ties to Mayan (…)

    "We know we don’t know what we know what we don’t know and don’t know what we know we don’t know we know"....Donald Rumsfeld.
    After years of watching war coverage on the MSM and of course, CNN, one has to wonder "Is that all there is?". The answer, of course is that what you’ve seen and heard isn’t even WHAT there is.
    CNN has never discussed Depleted Uranium poisoning, for example, in Kosovo, Gulf War 1, in Afghanistan and Iraq (1000s still born, malformed and/or suffering slow and (…)

    “Time’s glory is to...unmask falsehood and bring truth to light.” - William Shakespeare
    Irving “Scooter” Libby, V.P. Dick Cheney’s ex-chief of staff, has been a very bad Neocon! He was convicted on March 6, 2007, by a federal jury, in Washington, DC, on four criminal counts dealing with perjury before a grand jury, lying to the FBI and obstruction of justice. Libby was at the center of a cabal based in the White House, which manipulated intelligence and deliberately lied the country into (…)

  • Give Bush A Break!

    Over the past 6 years Democrats, Independents and even many Republicans have been finding fault with the Bush administration, many believe unjustly. The defense of Bush and Cheney and the gang focuses on the salient fact that the U.S. hasn’t "been hit" since 9/11. Now surely that alone is reason enough to cut Bush some slack, isn’t it?..Well isn’t it?
    After all, George W."Chimpy" Bush IS our president, and as many say we must "respect the office of the president"..just as we did for (…)

  • US to quit UN Human Rights Council
    7 March 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    The United States will not seek a seat on the UN Human Rights Council, senior officials said Tuesday, asserting the body had lost its credibility with repeated attacks on Israel and a failure to confront other rights abusers.

    Considering that Israel is the biggest violator of UN Resolutions on the planet, perhaps the UNHRC’s concerns are warranted. On issues of credibility, the US might be well advised to ceeck it’s own since it has illegally (…)

    Vermont towns seek to impeach Bush, pull U.S. troops
    March 7th, 2007 1:01 am By Jason Szep / Reuters
    BOSTON, March 6 - More than 30 Vermont towns passed resolutions on Tuesday seeking to impeach President Bush, while at least 16 towns in the tiny New England state called on Washington to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq.
    Known for picturesque autumn foliage, colonial inns, maple sugar and old-fashion dairy farms, Vermont is in the vanguard of a grass-roots protest movement to impeach (…)

  • The Sacco and Vanzetti Case Revisited

    “Great trials express—bear—the soul of a nation...” The late historian, Arthur Schlesinger Jr. (1)
    It read like the kind of brutal crime—especially in that Roaring Twenties era—that might have been pulled off by gang headed by a trigger happy John Dillinger, or someone of that ilk. At 3 PM, April 15, 1920, two men robbed, and then shot to death, a shoe factory paymaster carrying about $16,000 in cash and his security guard. The incident took place in South Braintree, MA, near Boston. The (…)

    Why I fled George Bush’s war
    Joshua Key, 28, was a poor, uneducated Oklahoma country boy who saw the U.S. army and its promised benefits — from free health care to career training — as the ticket to a better life. In 2002, not yet 24 but already married and the father of two , Key enlisted. He says his recruiting officer promised he’d never be deployed abroad, but a year later he was in Iraq. Only 24 hours after arriving, as Key recounts in The Deserter’s Tale (Anansi), he experienced his (…)

    In this instance I’m not speaking about the "Die Hards" who are currently being killed and/or maimed for corporatocracy in Afghanistan and Iraq. No, I’m speaking about those ever diminishing numbers of loyal Bush supporers.
    Bush’s latest CBS approval rating number is down to 29!..the lowest of his pathetic Washington career. But hold on!..there are the true "Die Hards" who will never abandon this miserable excuse for a president.
    Despite this administration’s crass and endless (…)
