  • From George Washington to a Broomstick for a President

    “[President Bush’s] soul was already closed down!” - Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (D-MD), on meeting with George W. Bush. (1)
    George Washington deserved the title, “Father of the Country.” For eight and one half years, refusing any pay, he led the Continental Army, a gallant force which he helped to forge from the strength of his own stellar persona. After the victory over Great Britain in 1783, Washington, like the Roman General Cincinnatus, relinquished his military command at Annapolis, MD, (…)

    "Terrorist agents try to implement their ominous plots without being bothered at all," Zahedan Governor General Hassan-Ali Nouri told IRNA, adding (…)

    Thousands of illegal aliens held in camps and legal limbo
    Feb 18 3:49 PM US/Eastern
    The US government is holding growing numbers of illegal immigrants in jails far from their lawyers and family, and even sometimes in tents, where their rights are not respected, civil liberties groups say.
    "It’s like Guantanamo Bay, but these people are not terrorists. They are just immigrants," Brent Wilkes, national executive director of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), told AFP. (…)

    By William Fisher
    In the face of multiple legal and legislative challenges, President George W. Bush this week issued an executive order to allow cases against prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to move forward to trials by military tribunals.
    The challenges are to the constitutionality of the Military Commissions Act of 2006 (MCA), which Bush signed into law last October. The first three cases to be tried under the law involve an Australian, a Yemeni, and a Canadian, all held at (…)

    An Iraq vet named Charlie Anderson told me that he likes to get his photo taken with senators and House members, and then have his friend fiddle with the camera, so that Charlie gets to talk while the elected official has to stand there and smile. And this is what Charlie says: "Congressman, I work every day to try to end (…)

    "We’re in the express elevator to Hell, baby..." Bill Paxton "ALIENS"
    The real "surge" test is already underway in Iraq and all is strangley quiet on the Middle East front. I suspect it’s a false calm, but the Bushies are smiling in anticipation of telling the Dems "we told you so". I doubt they’ll have that opportunity, however, despite the negative Senate vote on Saturday (which the Reps are crowing about).
    It looks like all Hell will break out before a week is up. Afghanistan is (…)

    In reviewing reports from our Kremlin sources today I could not help but call to mind the words of the great German scientist Albert Einstein, and who when asked what kind of weapons World War III would be fought with, Einstein responded, “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”
    These thoughts of mine were due to the information (…)

    SAN FRANCISCO — In a truly bizarre development, the Lawrence Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab, in Livermore, California, has gotten underway even larger nuclear radiation open air explosive detonations at "Site 300" near Tracy, California.
    Tracy is on the South end of the Bay Area. The High Explosive detonations are to widely distribute radioactive poison gas [uranium oxide gas and aerosols] over the unsuspecting seven million residents of the San Francisco Bay Area, water supplies, (…)

    What would be the consequences of a US or Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear energy sites?
    At the 2006 Perdana Global Peace Forum, Australian medical scientist Dr. Helen Caldicott provided an authoritative analysis of the devastating impact on human life that would result from the radiation release from such an attack.
