    The Bush War On Liberty Intensifies By Chris Floyd June 29, 2006
    Glenn Greenwald has the goods on the all-out war that the Bush Regime and its bootlicking sycophants throughout the right-wing media are waging against the free press. The recent "controversy" over the New York Times report on the Regime’s surveillance of bank records is, as Greenwald astutely notes, based entirely on outright falsehoods. It is also being deliberately stoked by the White House, whose lies about the (…)

    The Neocon Battle For Media By Robert Parry June 30, 2006
    Since the 1980s, when the neoconservatives burst onto the Washington scene, they have always understood the power that comes from controlling the flow of information that passes from the U.S. government to the news media and then to the American people. This transmission of information through Washington was to these savvy neoconservatives what a key railroad junction was to Civil War generals, a strategic switching point to be (…)

    Thinking About Dilemmas By Fred Cederholm June 30, 2006
    I’ve been thinking about dilemmas. Actually I’ve been thinking about the Fed’s Open Market Committee (FOMC), Bernanke, inflation/deflation, debt, global cash dependency, and US/us. There is a time value for money, and that is called interest. If you accumulated money by spending less than you’ve earned (or taken in), “interest” means extra income to you. If you owe money because you’ve spent more than you’ve taken in, “interest” is an (…)

  • Double Think is Now the Norm - Do not internalize the mind control message
    1 July 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Many years ago the great real patriots of the American Revolution against the mind control fear of King George in the colonies was countered and beaten by simple mind freeing techniques - and one of the best is a message to your oppressor that you understand the message and DISAGREE with its INTENTED PURPOSE and have PURPOSE of YOUR OWN. Namely your own self determination. That willful and powerful message was probable best summurized in the flags that the early colonist flew in the face of (…)

    At least 57 million ignorant and/or uneducated or wealthy Americans...those who "voted" for Bush in 2004, don’t worry at all about the outcome of the Novermber primary elections. They are pretty confindent that Republican Congressmen will hold their respective offices, and therefore, the majority.
    How can they be so sure? Simple. They know that, most likely, the various tricks and shenanigans which were in play in the ’04 Presidential election will be replayed this time around, and once (…)

    On The Road With Impeachment Dave Lindorff Tuesday, June 27, 2006
    Over this past week, I had a few experiences in the course of several book events for The Case for Impeachment which both illustrate the importance of this constitutionally important method of checking the actions of dangerous or criminal presidents, and the difficulty of doing so.
    On Friday, I debated my Counterpunch editor, Jeff St. Clair, in a forum that was part of the International Socialist Organization conference at (…)

    Is The FBI Entrapping Idiots? (& No, Timothy McVeigh Was No Idiot) By Ilana Mercer Wednesday, June 28, 2006 CNN reports that seven Miami-based men “concocted a plot to ‘kill all the devils we can,’ starting by blowing up Chicago’s Sears Tower, according to charges in a federal indictment revealed Friday.”
    It transpires that this information was elicited by an “FBI operative posing as a member of the terrorist network.”
    I watched the sister of one of the suspects enter “The (…)

    Why Are Americans So Angry? Ron Paul Friday, June 30, 2006
    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 conditions; bread and butter issues. Yet today, (…)
