    Accomplishing a logic-defying feat, the wealthiest nation in the world has “attained” the highest rate of homelessness amongst developed countries. 3.5 million human beings experience homelessness each year in the United States. Almost a million are homeless every night (1).
    In the most heavily militarized nation in the history of the human race, 30% (…)

    To the Voters: Do not give into fear; listen to the whisperings of our Founding Fathers
    By Mary MacElveen October 19, 2006
    In his latest email alerts, Ken Mehlman (GOP Chair) stated “There is nothing more important than protecting the American people and ensuring that we have the intelligence we need to stop attacks on our homeland. The vast majority of Democrats in Congress did not agree. Shockingly, 84% of the Democrats in the House voted against interrogating terrorists, as did 73% of (…)

    Tehran for the first time and at the highest level has this week went public on the so far taboo Sunni-Shiite divide, accused the American Great Satan of exploiting and fuelling the historic Islamic sectarian tragedy, which is true, but offered no way out of the divide except a verbal call for unity, which has to be tested against the Iranian policies on the ground in Iraq, where the Iranian call can make or break.

    Sentimental Education: Academia Signs Up to Track Down Dissent By Chris Floyd, TO UK Correspondent t r u t h o u t | Report

    I.
    Why is the United States government spending millions of dollars to track down critics of George W. Bush in the press? And why have major American universities agreed to put this technology of tyranny into the state’s hands?
    At the most basic level, of course, both questions are easily answered: 1) Power. 2) (…)

    Congressman, Tim Bishop: “Why Fear a Trial?”
    By Mary MacElveen
    October 17, 2006
    As I attended a debate between Congressman Tim Bishop (D 1st Cong. District, NY) and his Republican challenger, Italo Zanzi: when both were asked of the detainee bill recently approved by Congress which will be signed by Bush today, this is what candidate Zanzi stated that he “doesn’t believe Bush can claim anyone as a terrorist.”
    As I read some of contents of this detainee bill which is called ‘Military (…)

    Fear for an individual’s personal security common to a people whose leaders are taking their nation down the road to dictatorship has begun to grip America.

    As I think of the negative reactions coming from politicians within the United States in regards to President Chavez’ speech to the general assembly at the United Nations, a deeper psychology took place.
    It is not so much the man in Bush that Rangel, Pataki and Pelosi were protecting, but the institution itself.
    Most likely all three during these past six years have had their own negative thoughts concerning Bush and rightfully so. But, after September 11, 2001, (…)

    How Rahm Emanuel Has Rigged a Pro-War Congress

    "In 1964 Barry Goldwater declared: ’Elect me president, and I will bomb the cities of Vietnam, defoliate the jungles, herd the population into concentration camps and turn the country into a wasteland.’ But Lyndon Johnson said: ’No! No! No! Don’t you dare do that. Let ME do it.’"

    Bush Buys Land in Northern Paraguay
    Buenos Aires, Oct 13 (Prensa Latina) An Argentine official regarded the intention of the George W. Bush family to settle on the Acuifero Guarani (Paraguay) as surprising, besides being a bad signal for the governments of the region.
    Luis D Elia, undersecretary for the Social Habitat in the Argentine Federal Planning Ministry, issued a memo partially reproduced by digital INFOBAE.com, in which he spoke of the purchase by Bush of a 98,842-acre farm in (…)

    Nancy Pelosi apparently has so much time on her hands, and so few other issues to address, that she saw fit to unload on Hugo Chavez following his appearance before the U.N. in New York. Most readers are familiar by now with Chavez’ provocative swipes at "Devil" Bush and his comment that the titular head of U.S. empire had left the place reeking of sulfur from his earlier appearance.
    Is this run-of-the-mill Pablum of the Poor what angered Democratic Party (…)
