  • American Lethargy...why our country must inevitably implode.

    I’ll resort yet again to one of my favorite movie quotes, this one from The Magnificent Seven..when Calvera, the bandit is speaking to Yul Brynner: "I put it to you...if the Lord had not wanted them sheered he would not have made them sheep"
    Mussolini stated it even more simply: "America is a nation of sheep" Perhaps we weren’t that then..but we sure are now.
    What brings down any great nation...and they all fall eventually...is weakness, apathy, indifference and lethargy. We have them (…)

    Olmert may not survive this disastrous war
    By Gwynne Dyer The ceasefire in southern Lebanon will not hold. Israel will probably lose more soldiers killed in combat in the next month than in the past month (119). Ehud Olmert will probably no longer be prime minister of Israel by the end of this year. And it is all too likely that Binyamin Netanyahu will take his place.
    The UN-sponsored ceasefire will not hold because Hezbollah has not been defeated. Despite a month of pounding by (…)

    In the face of Bush’s lies, it’s left to Assad to tell the truth
    Robert Fisk - The Independent August 16, 2006
    In the sparse Baathist drawing rooms of Damascus, reality often seems a long way away. But it was a sign of the times that President Bashar al-Assad was able to bring the great and the good of Damascus to their feet by the simple token of telling the truth - which no other Arab leader has chosen to do these past five weeks: that the Lebanese Hizbollah guerrilla army has, in (…)

    Venezuela Leading the Race For the UN Security Council Seat - by Stephen Lendman
    In October, elections will take place for five non-permanent UN Security Council seats to be held in 2007. One of them will be for the Latin American seat now held by Argentina. The two leading regional contenders vying to fill the opening are Venezuela and Guatemala, and the other countries in the region comprising Latin America and the Caribbean (GRULAC) will vote on which one gets it. If they’re unable (…)

He eventually swam to safety then got in a boat to help rescue others. Now Rockey is on a (…)

    12000 US Dead in Iraq, 25000 Seriously Wounded
    Brian Harring - TBR News.org August 15, 2006
    Note: There is excellent reason to believe that the Department of Defense is deliberately not reporting a significant number of the dead in Iraq. We have received copies of manifests from the MATS that show far more bodies shipped into Dover AFP than are reported officially. The actual death toll is in excess of 10,000. (See the official records linked at the end of this piece.) Given the (…)

  • Again, Bush’s government proves that USA is on the side of the terrorists!

    by Mary MacElveen
    When Ned Lamont won the Democratic primary in Connecticut against the three term senator, Joe Lieberman, it was taken that Democratic voters and Democrats themselves do not take terrorism seriously.
    As a Democrat here in the United States, I will go on record stating that is complete nonsense.
    Through many columns here at VHeadline.com, I have been calling for the extradition of Luis Posada Carriles who is presently being held in El Paso, Texas.
    It seems that the (…)

  • Has Bush v. Gore Become the Case That Must Not Be Named?
    16 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    by ADAM COHEN
    At a law school Supreme Court conference that I attended last fall, there was a panel on “The Rehnquist Court.” No one mentioned Bush v. Gore, the most historic case of William Rehnquist’s time as chief justice, and during the Q. and A. no one asked about it. When I asked a prominent law professor about this strange omission, he told me he had been invited to participate in another Rehnquist retrospective, and was told in advance that Bush v. Gore would not be discussed. (…)
