  • Getting Real About Iraq
    20 September 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
    3 comments

    The saintly Republican idea about Iraq was to depose a horrendous Nazi-like dictator with whom we were already at war over the "no fly zones," the "oil for food" program, nuclear inspections, and the inconclusive end to the previous war. It seemed perfectly obvious given that we were already at war and that we had just failed to preemptively strike Afghanistan (which appeared to be 1000 times less threatening than Iraq) on 9/10 or earlier. This is a simple point but nevertheless beyond the (…)

  • Bush’s Empty Words to the U.N.

    By Robert Parry
    One of the most striking features of George W. Bush’s presidency has been his proclivity to use soaring, idealistic rhetoric that is totally at odds with reality, a tendency that was on display again in his address to the United Nations General Assembly.
    Bush framed his Sept. 19 speech in the context of the U.N.’s 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. “The words of the Universal Declaration are as true today as they were when they were written,” Bush declared.

    by Robert Higgs
    Anyone who has done even a little reading about the theory and practice of war, whether in political theory, international relations, theology, history, or common journalistic commentary, has encountered a sentence of the form “war is horrible, but . . . .” In this construction, the phrase that follows the conjunction explains why a certain war was (or now is or someday will be) an action that ought to have been (or ought to be) undertaken notwithstanding its admitted (…)

    Imperialism 101 - The US Addiction to War, Mayhem and Madness - Part II - by Stephen Lendman part I
    Part I of this article explained that the US was always a warrior, imperial nation, building it in steps and addicted to its madness. First we took it from its original inhabitants; then we expanded it beyond our borders by seizing the half of Mexico we wanted; later we established colonies abroad; and now, our method of choice is to rule the world through compliant leaders in client states (…)

    Why the blueprint for maintaining US pre-eminence (PNAC) failed
    Interrogating 9/11 Five Years On...
    By Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed
    It has been half a decade since the United States came under an unprecedented coordinated terrorist attack on some of its most prominent symbols of power. First the North, then the South, Towers of the World Trade Centre (WTC) in New York were hit by civilian airplanes. Then even the heart of the US military, the Pentagon, was struck, and finally a civilian (…)

  • Diebold Machine Fraud: Who will benefit?
    18 September 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    I have a good RIGHT wing friend who honestly believes that voting fraud in November (and there’s BOUND to be a lot!), goes BOTH ways, and that Democrats are every bit as likely to hack a Diebold (or Sierra,etc) machine as are Republican operatives and ideologues. Is it true?
    You be the judge:
    Who stands to benefit IF the Republicans hold their seats in the House and Senate in November?
    These folks: ?
    Oil Cartels
    The Nuclear Industry
    The Tombacco Industry
    The Pharmaceutical (…)

    Impeachment a "Gatekeeper Meme"?

    If you look for the word "impeach" on all the 9/11 truth websites, you’ll find it only rarely. Why is that? It’s unrealistic, we hear, because we don’t have the votes in Congress, and here is another argument (I will identify the person if she wants me to):
