    Part I - Part II
    Expelling the Demons of the Opiate
    Writer’s Note: This is a social criticism and commentary on religion, meant to stir thought and insight into a different way of seeing the world. My wish is not to offend anyone’s beliefs, only to open minds to new realms of understanding and to what just might be possible. I do not claim to be right, or to know the truth. Quite simply, I wish only for the reader to absorb this essay with an open mind, willing to challenge all they (…)

    We have learned that Paul D. Harmon, an independent candidate for Domestic Relations Court Judge in Licking County, Ohio, filed a criminal complaint against Licking County election officials on February 18th.
    The complaint, based on events in a Licking County race in which there were more "no votes" than votes cast for any candidate, accuses the officials of fraud involving "votomatic" punch (…)

    Profiteering from the Iraq war is not a surprise, especially in light of the Bush administration’s pandering to the military-industrial complex.
    But some Democratic lawmakers are concerned that profiteering may have achieved stratospheric dimensions in the case of the $9 billion that is missing from the sale of Iraqi oil. This money was to have been used for humanitarian aid and reconstruction for Iraq.
    It seems no one is watching the store. The fund was transferred to (…)

    Racism is not static. The racism we encountered in the civil rights era is not the same racism we encounter today. Now most people recognize it is not acceptable to explicitly support white supremacy, that is not to say they do not support it implicitly. The point I want to make is that just because the law no longer provides for the overt expression of racism does not mean that racism is not a major factor in our contemporary lives.
    I remember in the 60’s I was (…)

    MAINZ, Germany - About 12,000 protesters, many carrying banners reading "Bush go home," "No. 1 Terrorist" and "Warmonger," marched through the German city of Mainz on Wednesday, but were mostly kept away from the visiting U.S. president.
    The official rally, which was twice as big as expected, never got within earshot of President Bush, but a small group of protestors rushed toward his car as he left to visit a U.S. base in nearby Wiesbaden. Police wrestled several (…)

    Ilyasah Shabazz, 42, the third-eldest daughter of Malcolm X, stared across the Audubon Ballroom in Washington Heights at the spot where her father was assassinated in front of her 40 years ago today.
    She looked at the area that had held a stage where his body lay riddled with bullets and pointed to the spot where she, almost 3 years old, was sitting in a banquette with two of her sisters and her mother, Betty Shabazz, pregnant with twins.
    Feb. 21, 1965, was a Sunday, (…)

    George W. Bush, who is allegedly on a "charm offensive" across Europe, dropped the charm and was simply offensive at his NATO press conference when he once again relied on a hidden earpiece to feed him canned soundbite answers to reporters’ questions.
    As NASA scientist Robert Nelson proved last fall, George W. Bush relied on a wireless earpiece in all three of his debates with John Kerry during the 2004 campaign. While bloggers (including Democrats.com, IsBushWired.com, MysteryBulge, (…)

  • NON TO FRENCH WINE, OUI TO FRENCH AD AGENCY

    When France refused to join in the "coalition of the willing," the right-wing propaganda machine rolled out the "Hate-Everything-French" campaign. Conservative media mouthpieces like Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh led the Franco phobic charge, exhorting their benighted minions to boycott everything French. There was even an effort to change French fries to "freedom fries." French bashing could be heard and read, in varying degrees of ferocity, across the nation as the Bush (…)

    Scott Ritter, appearing with journalist Dahr Jamail yesterday in Washington State, dropped two shocking bombshells in a talk delivered to a packed house in Olympia’s Capitol Theater. The ex-Marine turned UNSCOM weapons inspector said that George W. Bush has "signed off" on plans to bomb Iran in June 2005, and claimed the U.S. manipulated the results of the recent Jan. 30 elections in Iraq.
    Olympians like to call the Capitol Theater "historic," but it’s doubtful whether the eighty-year-old (…)

    WASHINGTON — It’s a good thing I went to the Conservative Political Action Conference this year. Otherwise I never would have known that, despite the findings of the authoritative David Kay report and every reputable media outlet on earth, the United States actually discovered weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, vindicating all of George W. Bush’s pre-war predictions. The revelation came not from some crank at Free Republic or hustler from Talon News, but from a congressman surrounded by (…)
