    Theories about Russian agents steering Hurricane Katrina may be off base, but research into weather manipulation has been going on for decades
    Pssst. Have you heard? Hurricane Katrina was intentionally steered to hit New Orleans. The Russians — a clique of KGB secret-police hardliners who took over a secret weather-control weapon developed for the old Soviet military — did it. In fact, according to retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Bearden, they’ve been dickering with U.S. weather (…)

    The Wayne Madsen Report states that the White House is now fully informed about the nature and scope of the indictments handed down by Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald this week.
    He cited a report of Attorney General Albert Gonzalez holding a meeting with Fitzgerald on Wednesday, at which the AG was briefed on the prosecutor’s findings, and the Grand Jury was released after brief questions.
    Madsen quotes "informed sources in Washington," as saying that Vice President Dick Cheney’s (…)

    This past week, I have had discussions with a number of people through emails where they have suggested that I back down in my criticisms of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton since she voted for the war and perhaps will be the Democratic candidate come 2008. But, if I want to remain truthful with my readers and have credibility, I simply have to stay the course. As an American that has been against this war from the start, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s vote for this war (…)

    “We’re going to invite George and Laura-and tell Laura to bring the turkey,”
    Cindy Sheehan made a return visit to the streets of New York Wednesday, joining the weekly vigil of Grandmothers Against the War outside Rockefeller Center.
    In contrast to the scene in Union Square last month, when the police stormed the podium and cut off Sheehan’s mic, this time the NYPD went out of its way to be gracious to America’s leading peace mom.
    Police politely urged the jostling (…)

    Does George Clooney have a box-office death wish? You have to wonder why the star of Ocean’s Eleven would risk his standing as a pinup for ka-ching to direct, co-write and co-star in a movie set in the 1950s, shot in black-and-white and focused on a fifty-year-old battle between TV newsman Edward R. Murrow, indelibly played by David Strathairn, and the Commie-hunting Sen. Joseph McCarthy.
    Wonder no more. Clooney knows exactly what he’s doing: blowing the dust off ancient (…)

  • Why can’t the left face the Stolen Elections of 2004 & 2008?

    by Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman
    If some of its key publications are any indicator, much of the American left seems unable to face the reality that the election of 2004 was stolen. So in all likelihood, unless something radical is done, 2008 will be too.
    Misguided and misinformed articles in both TomPaine.com and Mother Jones Magazine indicate a dangerous inability to face the reality that these stolen elections mean nothing less than the death of what’s left of American democracy, (…)

    by Brian McAfee
    Earlier this year President Bush enacted an energy bill into law that gave $85 billion dollars to big oil and gas companies, and this month the Republican controlled House of Representatives gave billions more in tax breaks to the oil industry while doing nothing to lower gas prices.
    Despite this windfall for the already rich stockholders and their friends, President Bush has proposed cutting funds to help the poor heat their homes this winter. The nation’s 37 million (…)
