They are seeking support for a City Council Bill, No. 09-0289, which will be introduced at the City Council meeting later this evening.

  • Ronald Reagan: Betrayer of Main Street America!
    23 February 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    “When it came to corporate greed, the Great Communicator [Ronald Reagan] was also the Great Enabler.” - William Kleinknecht
    The book is a scathing, and well deserved, indictment of that “empty suit” Ronald Reagan, and his ultra-grasping political creed, “Reaganism,” which directly led to the “Financial Meltdown of 2008.” The disastrous economic legacy of “hyper capitalism,” that this “free market” zealot sold the country, (1981-89), along with his mean-spirited “gutting of the public (…)

It had the effect of drawing the Soviets into the Afghan trap...The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter. We now have the opportunity of giving to the Soviet Union its Vietnam War."

    22 February 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    While legal perils swirl around George W Bush’s White House lawyers for their role in empowering torturers, Bush will cross an international border—possibly for the first time—as a free and private citizen..

    I really hope he shows up in the flight suit.
    He can also, in good conscience, bring along that banner he once courageously blamed on sailors because this time, his mission really is accomplished.

  • TEXAS INJUSTICE: THE TRAGEDY OF TIMOTHY COLE
    20 February 2009 par (Open-Publishing)
    1 comment

    Within its borders arguably resides the most corrupt legal system in the United States, if not the world: at one time, to increase the prospect of winning convictions, “training” manuals were circulated in some prosecutors’ offices explaining how to exclude racial minorities from juries; one prosecutor who sent an innocent man to prison later joked about this injustice by boasting, “Anybody can convict a guilty man. It takes talent to convict an innocent one”; an African-American activist (…)

  • The Howling Days of Madness
    20 February 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    By David Glenn Cox
    You know, sometimes I pick up this 21st century quill and electronic rodent ready to charge down some pre-determined path. Here I was, ready to write a very informative piece about past financial collapses all throughout the history of our capitalist enclave, when the demons overtook me. Perhaps demons or maybe a guiding spirit, pointing me down a spiritual path. Oh, fuck it, it’s damn laziness; at least that’s what they called it in high school. But then, what didn’t (…)

  • A New Declaration of Independence
    20 February 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    When, in the course of human development, existing institutions prove inadequate to the needs of man, when they serve merely to enslave, rob, and oppress mankind, the people have the eternal right to rebel against, and overthrow, these institutions.
    The mere fact that these forces—inimical to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—are legalized by statute laws, sanctified by divine rights, and enforced by political power, in no way justifies their continued existence.
    We hold these (…)

  • Panic Selling Crashes Stocks Through False Bottom
    19 February 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    Yesterday’s manipulated close above the false bottom at Dow 7552 could not hold, not even for a day, in the wake of unprecedented government handouts and institutional selling that nearly brought the major stock indices to their knees in the final hours of Thursday’s session. The Dow Jones Industrials finished the day at their lowest level since October 9, 2002, prior, even to the start of the Iraq War.
    The best the government interlopers (through their proxies at Goldman Sachs, Morgan (…)

  • US Judges involved in human trafficking
    19 February 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    At this point in my life I am against the death penalty, mainly because I know the system is corrupt, however I have been a supporter of the death penalty in the past and may become one in the future, so I have a question for those who support the death penalty in the United States of America, or anywhere else for that matter. Would you execute the members of a criminal syndicate responsible for child trafficking?

  • The Guantánamo Testimonials Project
    18 February 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    Pursuant to its mission, the UC Davis Center for the Study of Human Rights in the Americas (CSHRA) launched, in Fall 2005, a long term research project to assess the effects of the U.S. war on terror on human rights in the Americas.
    Whether invoked as the rationale for the "extraordinary rendition" of Canadian citizen Maher Arar to Syria or as the basis for the suppression of indigenous movements in South America, the war on terror has had significant effects on human rights in the (…)
