By Ellen Brown “I’m in show business, why come to me?” “War is show business, that’s why we’re here.” – “Wag the Dog” (1997 film)
Last week, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had just announced record losses, and so had most reporting corporations. Unemployment was mounting, the foreclosure crisis was deepening, state budgets were in shambles, and massive bailouts were everywhere.
Investors had every reason to expect the dollar and the stock market to plummet, and gold and oil to shoot up. (…)

The Latest Bush War
13 August 2008 par (Open-Publishing)
2 commentsBy David Glenn Cox
Ah, the time grows short from May to November, but still there is time for one more Bush war. The Russian incursion into Georgia has been heavy-handed and overbearing, but not really all that surprising.
Russia is a nation on the far edge of Europe, and prior to the 20th century all political communications were sent by dispatch. Before the Czars could hear about an issue, in many cases it was already over. Ruling over a huge empire with weak and almost non-existent (…) -

9/11 Skeptics in New Jersey Confront David Boren
7 August 2008 par (Open-Publishing)
By Michael P. Wright
Observe that Boren’s response was to play dumb when they asked him if he supported the call for a new official 9/11 investigation. Boren claims that he was no longer involved with the intelligence community after he left the U.S. Senate in 1994. I am quite sure that this was just another one of Boren’s many lies.
At the same time, never able to repress his self-aggrandizing nature, Boren boasts that he was having breakfast with CIA director George Tenet on the (…) -

America, who are you going to vote for? Kang or Kodos?

2 commentsDoes everyone remember the ‘Citizen Kang’ segment from The Simpsons?
I sure hope everyone does, because the 2008 elections are not as much about the proliferation of war as they are about the enslavement of Americans within a fascist state.
As Karl Schwarz put it in a recent article, “McCain is Bush Lite; Obama is Bush Dark. The RNC is the War Party; the DNC is the War Party. The math is not hard.”

2 commentsBy David Swanson
The House Judiciary Committee today, Friday, July 25th, will put impeachment squarely back "on the table" and restored to its prominent place in our Constitution.
Elliott Adams, President of Veterans for Peace, and a descendant of American revolutionary Sam Adams, will deliver this prepared testimony, in which, if his 5 minutes allow him to reach his conclusion, he will say:
"For us veterans, when our time came, we volunteered our very lives for this republic; for the (…)
