    address given by Dr. Meyers at Oklahoma University Peace Rally
    As some of you know, I am minister of Mayflower Congregational Church in Oklahoma City, an Open and Affirming, Peace and Justice church in northwest Oklahoma City, and professor of Rhetoric at Oklahoma City University.
    But you would most likely have encountered me on the pages of the Oklahoma Gazette, where I have been a columnist for six years, and hold the record for the most number of angry letters to the editor. (…)

  • Time To Cancel Tsunami Countries’ Debt
    13 January 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Mark Engler
    Despite an increase in promised aid to tsunami-affected countries last week, the United States’ aid offering still isn’t topping the list. Australia, for one, has donated much more. But the United States could make up for its somewhat meager offering by forgiving debt payments for tsunami countries. A temporary moratorium on payments won’t be enough. It’s time to go farther-much farther-and end debt obligations for tsunami countries in Southeast Asia. Trouble is, we (…)

    Marching Boots of Mass Psychosis
    It is in times of fascism rising that armies of ignorance are once more resuscitated from the bowels of a society bordering on the edge of mass psychosis. The America at the dawn of the twenty-first century is no exception, for an army of fascism is being born inside its womb, its growing power in numbers and ideology granting freedom of action to immoral despots and juntas of warmongering greed addicts. Contrived through the mass (…)

  • America’s Political Red Light District

    By Wayne Besen
    Conservative commentator Armstrong Williams is embroiled in a scandal where the Bush administration paid him $240,000 to promote No Child Left Behind. Democrat Rep. George Miller, who is on the House Education Committee, said the arrangement using taxpayer’s money was “probably illegal.” When Williams said he represented values, we never knew he meant the value of his bank account.
    As someone who has met the slippery Williams, I’m not the slightest bit surprised that he (…)

  • Iraq, torture? Not if cheerleaders do it, lawyer claims

    Forcing naked Iraqi prisoners to pile themselves in human pyramids was not torture, because American cheerleaders do it every year, a court was told today.
    A lawyer defending Specialist Charles Graner, who is accused of being a ringleader in the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal, argued that piling naked prisoners in pyramids was a valid form of prisoner control.
    "Don’t cheerleaders all over America form pyramids six to eight times a year. Is that torture?" said Guy (…)

    Election Crime Scene-2004 "We the People Do Not Concede"
    By Carol Sterritt
    John Kerry did not lose the electoral votes in Florida. They were stolen.
    Nor did he lose the electoral votes in Ohio. They were stolen as well.
    And with these two states being a rigged game, suspicions multiply. Suspicion falls especially hard upon the supposed three and a half million votes that Bush now claims as the popular vote margin.
    Across the nation, at least 400,000 people used voter hotlines to (…)

    On this Monday, January 10th, the detention by the USA of 545 citizens from 42 countries at the concentration camp of Guantanamo, located on the territory of the Republic of Cuba, enters its 4th year. 202 other detainees have so far been released or repatriated.
    The expression ‘concentration camp’ has not been invented by the Nazis or by the Soviet rulers, but (…)

  • The January 7th Problem (News Article with Commentary)

    January 7th print and other media were quite subdued in regards to the historical significance of the electors challenge on January 6th, 2005. As this was the third time in U.S. history that such an electors challenge has ever taken place, I thought it would be interesting to see what happened after the second, over thirty five years ago. I went to the local library and printed a copy of the front page of our local paper dated Tuesday, January 7th, 1969. Low and behold on the front page was (…)

    U.S. Rep. Coble says Iraq pullout should be considered
    By Stan Swofford
    GREENSBORO, N.C. - U.S. Rep. Howard Coble, a Greensboro Republican and close ally of President Bush, says the United States should consider pulling out of war-ravaged Iraq.
    Coble is one of the first members of Congress to suggest a withdrawal publicly.
    The 10-term congressman said in an interview with the News & Record of Greensboro that he’s "fed up with picking up the newspaper and reading that we’ve lost (…)

    Every day, squads of recruiters in impressively crisp uniforms cozy up to kids as young as 14 and 15 at schools, malls, pizza joints, bowling alleys and other teen hangouts, letting them know about the program, which allows anyone 17 or older to join and be paid monthly before they do a single push-up or hear a grizzled drill sergeant yell "double time."
    The Georgia Guard has about 80 recruiters who operate out of 77 locations, targeting every high school in the state.
