    9 July 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Censoring The Military Embeds Posted by Bradford Plumer 0/07/2006 One could devote a lifetime-or at least the better part of a year-to chronicling all the propaganda-like tricks the Bush administration and the military have pursued over the past few years. Here’s a new one, courtesy of Rod Norland, Newsweek’s former bureau chief:
    The military has started censoring many [embedded reporting] arrangements. Before a journalist is allowed to go on an embed now, [the military] check[s] the (…)

    Cheney Behind Turn Toward Dictatorship Andrew Greeley First published: Friday, July 7, 2006 In the winter of 1933, before Franklin Roosevelt’s first inauguration on March 4, there was a clamor in the United States for a military dictatorship. The banks were closing, a quarter of Americans were unemployed, rebellion threatened on the farms. Only drastic reforms, mandated by the president’s power as commander in chief, would save the country. Something like the fascism of Mussolini’s (…)

    The American values we hold most dear have been placed at serious risk by the unprecedented claims of the Bush Cabal to a truly breathtaking expansion of executive power.
    The evidence now makes it hard to avoid the conclusion that George W. Bush has repeatedly and insistently broken the law and the corrupt Republican Congress has shirked its constitutional duty to hold him accountable.
    I believe a president who breaks the law poses a threat to the very foundation of our democracy. As (…)

    By Christopher Bollyn
    Depleted uranium weapons, and the untold misery they wreak on mankind, are taboo subjects in the mainstream media. This exclusive report should break the media embargo imposed on the American people.
    Despite being a grossly under-reported subject in the mainstream, there is intense public interest in depleted uranium (DU) and the damage it inflicts on humankind and the environment.
    While American Free Press is actively investigating DU weapons and how they (…)

    From: Raymond F. Breakspear admin@intbel.com To: Editor@VHeadline.com Subject: The UK needs a Hugo Chavez
    Here in the UK we used to have a problem with Americans. What was the problem? "They’re over here!"
    Here in the UK we have a problem with Chavez. What is the problem? "He’s over there!"
    (And we still have a problem with Americans being over here corps-wise, if not in person, but more on that anon)
    We need a Hugo Chavez ... desperately. Now. Like yesterday would not be too (…)

    Watch out Iraqis
    our Army’s more loose
    we still don’t want gays
    or girls in men’s shoes.
    But we now appeal to illegal types
    who’ve recently crawled through
    underground pipes.
    We reach out to coke-heads and winos for sure
    and also are hiring insane without cure.
    Did you notice, pal, today in the news?
    the Army is now getting skinheads in crews?
    Our proud military accepts White Supreme guys
    militias and Nazis, yes they’re on the rise!
    Truly the phrase, "Be all you can be" (…)

  • Patriotism & The Fourth of July

    by Howard Zinn
    The following essay is an excerpt from Zinn’s forthcoming book, A Power Governments Cannot Suppress (City Lights Books, ISBN 0-87286-475-8, www.citylights.com)
    In celebration of the 4th of July there will be many speeches about the young people who “died for their country.” Let’s be honest about war. Those who gave their lives did not die for their country, as they were led to believe but for their government. The distinction between country and government is at the (…)

    by Robert C. Koehler
    The unending game of “pretend” that the U.S. media allow George Bush to play on the global stage, so often letting his lying utterances hang suspended, unchallenged, in the middle of the story, as though they were plausible - as though a class of third-graders couldn’t demolish them with a few innocent questions - feels like the journalistic equivalent of waterboarding. Gasp! Some truth, please!
    I suggest the prez has forfeited the right to command a headline, or (…)
