    24 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    There was a mix of anxiety and anticipation in the Kucinich household Easter morning as the Strongsville family waited for a call from their eldest son.
    I was so overjoyed when I heard him. We just love him and miss him so much,’’ Gary Kucinich said, recalling the phone call from his 19-year-old son, Gary Jr., a U.S. Marine stationed in Iraq.
    Despite the joy, the call was bittersweet for the elder Kucinich, a Democratic candidate in the 13th Congressional District primary who has made (…)

    The "Two and a Half Men" star has found himself jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Sheen recently gave a bizarre interview on GCN Radio Network’s conspiracy-minded "The Alex Jones Show," in which he suggested that the federal government was covering up what "really" happened.
    "It seems to me like 19 amateurs with boxcutters taking over four commercial airliners and hitting 75 percent of their targets, that feels like a conspiracy theory. It raises a lot of questions," Sheen said. (…)

    Why George Can’t Fire Donald
    By Peter Fredson
    April 24, 2006
    People have wondered why Bush will not fire his Pentagon friend, Donald Rumsfeld. Some ascribe it to loyalty, to stubbornness, or to his absolutist mentality. Some believe that Rumsfeld knows where too many bodies are buried, and that firing him might force some leakage to occur. He was with Bush during his campaigns and knows what promises were made, to whom, and what inducements were offered.
    If ever a Deep Throat could (…)

    It’s said that during the height of the Cuban Missiles Crisis, when President Kennedy was faced with backing-off or starting World War III, he looked seriously rattled. Understandable for a normal human being you might think. Fortunately for the world it was the Russians who had the sense to defuse the confrontation by turning their ships away. Life went on.
    Forty-four years later the world is again faced with the prospect of a US President incumbent (albeit fraudulently elected) (…)

    The Illinois General Assembly is about to rock the nation. Members of state legislatures are normally not considered as having the ability to decide issues with a massive impact to the nation as a whole. Representative Karen A. Yarbrough of Illinois’ 7th District is about to shatter that perception forever. Representative Yarbrough stumbled on a little known and never utlitized rule of the US House of Representatives, Section 603 of Jefferson’s Manual of the Rules of the United States House (…)

  • US Bases in Iraq: Part I: Baghdad
    23 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Sarah Meyer
    The deliberate obfuscation of permanent bases in Iraq by the US and UK governments illustrates the myth of "freedom of information." Many of the US bases in Iraq already have, or are now building, facilities which will keep the US government - if not the Iraqi people - happy for the foreseeable future.
    US Bases in Iraq will be a researched study of the possible ‘permanent’ bases1 which have been mentioned in various articles over the last three years. All bases had/have US (…)

  • Kalashnikov says Iraq shows his gun is still best
    23 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    MOSCOW (Reuters) - Mikhail Kalashnikov, designer of the world’s most popular assault rifle, says that U.S. soldiers in Iraq are using his invention in preference to their own weapons, proving that his gun is still the best.
    "Even after lying in a swamp you can pick up this rifle, aim it and shoot. That’s the best job description there is for a gun. Real soldiers know that and understand it," the 86-year-old gunmaker told a weekend news conference in Moscow.
    "In Vietnam, American soldiers (…)

    This essay has a duel purpose. I began it initially to explain how sophisticated and effective the dominant corporate media is in programming the public mind to believe whatever message they deliver regardless of whether it’s true which it rarely is. I chose the title Reeducation 101 - Defogging and Reversing the Corporate Media’s Programming of the Public Mind which I’m now using as the heading of my introductory section. Along with that discussion, I then planned a (…)
