    The headlines blared: "Doctors Confirm Yushchenko Poison Claim" - and, yes, even I believed it. But, you know what? It’s a lie. And now the truth is coming out....
    I knew there was something fishy about the whole "Yushchenko-was-poisoned-by-the-bad-guys" narrative, even as I blindly accepted the pronouncement of Dr. Michael Zimpfer, of the Rudolfinerhaus clinic in Vienna, that tests had "proved" the poisoning hypothesis, and he now considers the "case closed." To begin (…)

    Democracy at Death’s Doorstep
    In November 2000 democracy, or the mirage that passed for it, was dismembered, never again allowed to grace America with its cherished principles espousing the power of ‘We the People.’ It was four years ago that democracy inhaled its last breath of (…)

    For hours last week, the crew of the Coast Guard cutter Alex Haley repeatedly radioed the captain of the cargo ship Selendang Ayu, asking him what was wrong with his engines.
    They never got a clear answer, said Coast Guard Capt. Jack Davin, who is in charge of marine safety in Alaska.
    "It just seemed unusual we couldn’t get an answer," said Davin, who was among the officers at the Juneau command center last week who tried unsuccessfully to find out what was wrong with (…)

    SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 15 - The scene on the street did not look like much, just the comings and goings of small groups of women from their factory dormitory, with a few lingering here and there in knots to discuss their situation.
    Since Friday, though, work has stopped inside the Uniden factory’s walls here, where 12,000 workers, mostly young women from China’s poor interior provinces, make wireless phones, which the Japanese manufacturer supplies in large number to (…)

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories.

    New York Times journalist Eric Schmitt reported today (December 14, 2004) that the Air Force is finally taking control of supply transportation in Iraq via airlifts. For months now, U.S. troops had been expected to transport supplies via ground transports through dangerous terrain where they were regularly attacked and killed. It was bad enough that they had been asked to travel on these routes at all for such routine and non-combat related missions, and without armor for (…)

    Dear Friends,
    It is no surprise that the Republicans are sore winners. They have spent the better part of the past month beating their chests, threatening to send to Siberia any Republican who doesn’t toe the line (poor Arlen Specter), and promising everything short of martial law if the Democrats don’t do what they are told.
    What’s worse is to watch the pathetic sight of the DLC (the conservative, pro-corporate group of Democrats) apologizing for being Democrats and (…)

  • China: Capitalism means war against the working class

    by Heiko Khoo
    China’s drive to the “socialist market” has fostered a booming economy. This concealed a mass of contradictions which an economic crisis will unravel. Here we expose the terrible price paid by the working class for capitalist “reforms.” The leadership of Hu Jintao
    September 2004 saw the transfer of leadership from Jiang Zemin to Hu Jintao, thus consolidating his political and military power. Born in 1942, Hu is the first leader to have grown up after the revolution. (…)

    Into the Vortex of Incalculable Consequences
    by Manuel Valenzuela
    The rise to power of the Amerikan Nazis, and the subsequent dive into the cesspool of fascism the nation is now experiencing, was assured with the ascension to the White House of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney in November 2000. Through the well-conceived, methodical fraud committed against the American people, the Amerikan Nazis were now free to unleash their devastation upon the world. They were now (…)
