  • American Morality Scam

    by David R. Hoffman, Legal Editor of PRAVDA.Ru
    Several years ago I worked for a company whose manager would routinely say “Life isn’t fair” whenever he cheated an employee out of a raise or benefits. A few years later, while in law school, I listened in stunned silence as an adjunct professor, who also worked as a prosecuting attorney, nonchalantly remarked “Oh well!” after informing my class that a man she believed was innocent had just been found guilty.
    These two examples, and (…)

    Voice of the White House August 6, 2006
    TBR News.org - August 6, 2006
    “The American public is being told one thing by the Administration and the DoD. and various staff members here are being told something quite different.
    This, of course, deals with the current terrible events in Lebanon. While the public is told that Israel is going after terrorists, the death tolls are way underreported.
    When Israeli bombing attacks kill two hundred Lebanese, Tel Aviv wants us to publish that (…)

  • The Administration’s Futile Attempts to Continuously Redefine the War
    8 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Over the past four years the Administration has presented a sequence of failed rationales for the War on Terror and the war in Iraq, ranging from WMDs to spreading democracy. The rationale behind the rationales is a textbook case of shifting from one marketing hook to another, hoping the masses finally embrace one of them. And to think; these were the same people who called Bill Clinton a waffler.
    Without the acumen of a sophisticated ad agency, the Administration has repeatedly shown (…)

    U.S. & Israel Selecting Targets for Cruise Missile First-Strike Attack
    Bruce K. Gagnon - Global Network August 8, 2006
    Multiple military sources have told the Global Network that Pentagon personnel responsible for selecting targets for cruise missile first strike attacks have been sent to Israel.
    This indicates that U.S. and Israeli military strategists are now likely meeting to plan a joint attack on Syria and/or Iran.

    By Nick Turse and Deborah Nelson, Special to The Times
    The men of B Company were in a dangerous state of mind. They had lost five men in a firefight the day before. The morning of Feb. 8, 1968, brought unwelcome orders to resume their sweep of the countryside, a green patchwork of rice paddies along Vietnam’s central coast.
    They met no resistance as they entered a nondescript settlement in Quang Nam province. So Jamie Henry, a 20-year-old medic, set his rifle down in a hut, unfastened (…)

  • Out to Lunch
    8 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Remi Kanazi
    The US media’s biased coverage of the crisis in Lebanon should come as no surprise. While the White House and Congress claim a “special relationship” with Israel, our news outlets are not supposed to have a “special relationship” with anyone. Their job is to fairly reports on matters; anything less is a disservice to those watching their news programs and reading their newspapers.
    Shockingly, Larry King Live has been “fair” in its coverage of the conflict consuming Lebanon (…)

  • Oh, Those Bad Bosses

    Giving one person power over others is like a giving a 3-year-old a hose: not everyone will get soaked, but the chances of coming out dry are slender.
    By Barbara Ehrenreich
    The AFL-CIO’s Working America project has launched a "bad boss" contest. Unfortunately, the prize is only a free vacation, rather than the opportunity to see your nominee drawn and quartered after a lengthy and humiliating public trial.
    I’ve heard so many bad boss stories that I’d hate to be one of the judges. The (…)

    The Discovery Institute’s True Raison d’être and Why We Need to Be Deeply Concerned
    by Jason Miller
    "In 1998, members of a Seattle nonprofit think tank drafted a secret five-year plan with an ambitious goal: to "defeat scientific materialism" and "replace materialistic explanations with the theistic understanding that nature and human beings are created by God."

    Why Are Americans So Angry?
    HON. RON PAUL OF TEXAS, June 29, 2006 Before the U.S. House of Representatives
    I have been involved in politics for over 30 years and have never seen the American people so angry. It’s not unusual to sense a modest amount of outrage, but it seems the anger today is unusually intense and quite possibly worse than ever. It’s not easily explained, but I have some thoughts on this matter. Generally, anger and frustration among people are related to economic (…)
