    Understanding the Case of Marc Emery, and The New Canadian National Anthem
    On May 6 2006, the president of the United States of America officially acknowledged that we are in World War III with his statement "I believe that it (the downing of flight 93) was the first counterattack to World War III". The only reason that the spokesman for the American Military-Industrial Complex would be allowed to make this statement is either because everything is in place to intensify the war on a global (…)

    Published on Monday, June 21, 2004 by AnitaRoddick.com A Time to Weep by Ted Sorenson Ted Sorenson, a former aide to President John F. Kennedy, gave this moving commencement speech at the New School University in New York on May 21, 2004. (The "President Kerrey" he refers to is, alas, former Senator Bob Kerrey who is president of the New School, not future US President John Kerry.)
    This is not a speech. Two weeks ago I set aside the speech I prepared. This is a cry from the heart, (…)

  • Impeach Bush/Cheney now!

    To the Editor: We must impeach Bush/Cheney now in order to end the War for Oil in the Middle East, stop the torture and illegal detentions in Guantanamo Bay, Iraq and Afghanistan, end the illegal wire tapping of American citizens, and uphold the laws and Constitution of the United States. There is overwhelming evidence of many impeachable offenses (see www.afterdowningstreet.org and www.impeachbush.org). The longer that Congress delays impeachment proceedings, the higher the chances (…)

    The first new skyscraper built at the World Trade Center site opens in two weeks and developer Larry Silverstein is confident he will rent all 1.7 million square feet of office space within a year.
    7 World Trade Center, a gleaming 52-floor tower adjacent to where the Twin Towers stood until September 11, 2001, officially opens on May 23. So far, Silverstein only has commitments for less than 25 percent of the new space.
    "It took us about a year to get this building going in 1987. It (…)

  • Sneak Attack on Organic Standards

    After 35 years of hard work, the US organic community has built a multi-billion dollar alternative to industrial agriculture. Now large corporations, aided and abetted by the USDA and members of Congress, are moving to lower organic standards and seize control. For the sake of the earth and the health of the people we must stop them.

    Comments On David Sirota’s New Book - Hostile Takeover - by Stephen Lendman
    I’d like to begin my commentary on David Sirota’s important new book Hostile Takeover with my strong endorsement of his fine work. Everyone should read it to learn what’s really going on around us that affects us all in the most important ways I know and which most people at best only vaguely understand on many if not most of the major issues. Those who read it will learn in stunning and graphic detail how large (…)

    "Freedom is never given; it is won." — A. Philip Randolph*

    When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that (…)

    "Time’s glory is to...unmask falsehood and bring truth to light...To wrong the wronger till he render right." - William Shakespeare
    A few months ago, I was in Washington, D.C., working as an extra in a movie. Hollywood loves to shoot films in the nation’s Capital because of its ambiance. Robert De Niro, a brilliant actor, was directing the flick called, “The Good Shepherd.” It has to do with the origins of the CIA.

  • Ray McGovern & Cindy Sheehan to lead March on the White House
    10 May 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    World Can’t Wait just announced their next major protest- October. Anyone else think that’s a little funny?
    Last year the Downing Street Memo came out on May 1st, soon after UFPJ announced the big rally for Sept 24th. Why do they always skip over the summer months? Because that’s when the weather is nice, and people might actually have the time to camp and stay.
    The crooks in power don’t care if we schedule another weekend protest- the one thing they don’t want is an extended protest (…)

  • Racist UK-US democratic tyranny, "free market", "drug patent rights" & African HIV/AIDS catastrophe

    Of course, unlike the situation in the 19th century, the democratic West is now politically correct (PC) and eschews explicit racism. Kurtz’s assertion of "exterminate all the brutes" in Joseph Conrad’s African novel "Heart of Darkness" was acceptable back in circa 1900 when it was first published in an explicitly racist Britain. Western intellectuals armed with Darwin’s "Origin of Species" justified racist colonial impositions in terms of "survival of the fittest" (i.e. those with guns). (…)
