    Letter from a Military "Mom":
    I am sending this letter to you in hope of finding a source to hear my concerns. It is something that has bothered me since the occurrence, and I know it is not something that should have happened, and I worry for my family’s safety as I step out to speak about this. (…)

    The American’s Creed William Tyler Page
    “I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

  • Charles Krauthammer on Spying On Americans: Where’s The Abuse?
    31 December 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Krauthammer, the perennial mouth piece on Fox news, does not perceive any abuse by Bush and his secret data mining operation. In fact the abuse is staring America in the face, Bush Lies. Bush told the American people that the courts were a buffer for the rights of American citizens and were being honored. It appears that honest American Patriots, that were privy to a top secret spying program knew this was a lie and became Whistleblowers to the NY Times. The whistleblowers also knew that (…)

    Help us beat the British government’s gagging order by mirroring this information on your own site or blog!
    See: http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/6133
    Background: The UK government has been quick to deny that we practice, or tolerate the practice of Torture. So it is perhaps not suprising that they are determined that you should not see the following documents: http://users.pandora.be/quarsan/craig/telegrams.pdf http://users.pandora.be/quarsan/craig/npaper.jpg

    So now, at last, the crisis is upon us. Now the cards are finally on the table, laid out so starkly that even the Big Media sycophants and Beltway bootlickers can no longer ignore them. Now the choice for the American Establishment is clear, and inescapable: do you hold for the Republic, or for autocracy?
    There is no third way here, no other option, no wiggle room, no ambiguity. The much-belated exposure of George W. Bush’s warrantless spy program has forced the Bush-Cheney Regime to (…)

    Burden on Those Yet to Come
    Throughout human history certain patterns continue repeating themselves over and over again, becoming, if careful attention is paid to study them, a direct harbinger to what tomorrow’s cultures and societies will be like. The inevitability of what a future generation’s destiny will become is oftentimes discernable from the accumulated sins of the fathers that came before as well as those of the grandfathers that (…)

  • NSA program is reminiscent of the COINTELPRO program used to spy on civil rights leaders
    27 December 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Washington, DC - Today, Congresswoman Maxine Waters (CA-35) expressed outrage and concern about President Bush’s decision to bypass the US Constitution and laws to permit the National Security Agency (”NSA”) to spy on American citizens.
    “The revelation of this NSA program is very problematic,” said Congresswoman Waters. “The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (”FISA”) was passed in 1978 to establish clear laws governing the NSA and other intelligence agencies in response to these (…)

    WASHINGTON, July 23, 2005 - Bush administration officials are opposing an effort in Congress under the antiterrorism law known as the USA Patriot Act to force the government to disclose its use of data-mining techniques in tracking suspects in terrorism cases.
    As part of the vote in the House this week to extend major parts of the antiterrorism law permanently, lawmakers agreed to include a little-noticed provision that would require the Justice Department to report to Congress annually on (…)

  • President Bush’s clandestine domestic surveillance-`A rot’ on national psyche
    26 December 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Impeach him now. Enough already. Unlike former President Bill Clinton’s simplistic dalliances, President Bush has consistently and maliciously acted outside the laws of this country.
    The revelation that he has personally authorized domestic spying in direct violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 clearly rises to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors. Not since the darkest days of the Nixon administration have we been treated to such a level of imperious (…)
