    11 September 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Aaron Glantz
    SAN FRANCISCO. Thousands of Latino community leaders from across the country convened in Los Angeles Wednesday for what organizers say is the first massive gathering of Latino community leaders, organizations, and elected officials since 1977.
    "The Latino Congresso is deigned to do something that the Congress in Washington is not doing—paying attention to issues of importance to the Latino community," explained John Trasvina, who heads up the Mexican American Legal (…)

  • 62,006 - the number killed in the ’war on terror’

    by David Randall and Emily Gosden
    The "war on terror" - and by terrorists - has directly killed a minimum of 62,006 people, created 4.5 million refugees and cost the US more than the sum needed to pay off the debts of every poor nation on earth.
    If estimates of other, unquantified, deaths - of insurgents, the Iraq military during the 2003 invasion, those not recorded individually by Western media, and those dying from wounds - are included, then the toll could reach as high as 180,000. (…)

  • 9/11 - The Emergency # that’s Turned into an Obsession
    10 September 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Those who voluntarily put power into the hands of a tyrant or an enemy must not wonder if it be at last turned against them.
    Aesop
    If the events of 9/11 were the result of a natural catastrophe, the country would’ve rebuilt and continued, largely unreflectively, pursuing the American Dream. But the indignity of an assault on American soil has since become a national obsession, a thriving cottage industry for wild speculators, professors seeking fame, authors eager for a best seller, and, (…)

  • The Path to 9/11 was paved by the Bushes: FBI ‘was told to back off bin Laden family’

    By now everyone has heard about the new docudrama being run on ABC “The Path to 9/11″ which illustrates how Clinton’s failures led to the tragic terrorists attacks in 2001.
    This is the first Hollywood production I’ve seen that honestly depicts how the Clinton administration repeatedly bungled the capture of Osama Bin Laden. One astonishing sequence in “The Path to 9/11″ shows the CIA and the Northern Alliance surrounding Bin Laden’s house in Afghanistan. They’re on the verge of capturing (…)

  • Latest bin Laden tape: Does it bash conspiracy theories?

    The first thought that came to mind when the recent, Aljazeera-released tape of bin Laden (talking to 9/11 planners?) was aired, was: Is this a scam by the Bush administration coming at a convenient date (just prior to the 9/11 anniversary)?..or is it an attempt by al Qaeda to throw bin Laden in Bush’s "wanted dead or alive" face?
    I still can’t figure it out.
    On Keith Olbermann’s "Countdown" show on MSNBC TV (USA),someone suggested the tape was a fake and a fraud, manufactured by the (…)

    Time magazine, the flagship corporate-government mouthpiece, has always been good primarily for one thing—to let us know what Big Brother is thinking, and by the same token, to tell us what we should think. (If you have to ask who Big Brother is, see below.)

    Israel’s war on Lebanon is an integral part of a US sponsored "military roadmap".
    The war on Lebanon, which has resulted in countless atrocities including the destruction of the nation’s economy and civilian infrastructure, is "a stage" in a sequence of carefully planned military operations.

    THE AMERICAN RESISTANCE - THE TIME HAS ARRIVED
    By: Ted Lang
    The time has arrived - a designation must be assigned to the increasing number of Americans who are fed up and terrified by the unbelievable and staggering criminal acts perpetrated both domestically and internationally by the Bush gang. Bush and his GOP are targeting and immediately attacking any and all inspirations of accurate journalistic reporting of administration wrongdoing, proving all the more how despotic American (…)

    Senate: Saddam saw al-Qaida as threat
    By JIM ABRAMS, Associated Press Writer, 9. September 2006
    WASHINGTON - Saddam Hussein regarded al-Qaida as a threat rather than a possible ally, a Senate report says, contradicting assertions President Bush has used to build support for the war in Iraq.
    Released Friday, the report discloses for the first time an October 2005 CIA assessment that before the war, Saddam’s government "did not have a relationship, harbor or turn a blind eye toward" (…)
