    Comments on Greg Palast’s New Book Armed Madhouse - by Stephen Lendman
    I’ve known about and followed Greg Palast’s important work for some time. I read his eye-opening book The Best Democracy Money Can Buy a few years ago and have mentioned it several times in some of my other writing. Greg is one of the most important and exhaustively thorough investigative journalists anywhere, which is especially important at a time when that kind of effort is needed more than ever. I knew he had a (…)

    Politics aside, how would Constitution be affected by gay marriage ban?
    Media Advisory
    In a move that most political observers describe as a tactic to increase voter turnout among his party’s conservative base, George W. Bush announced on June 5 that he supported a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. While much of the media discussion of the issue focuses on the GOP’s political maneuvering, few reports examined what the actual effects of the proposed amendment would be.

    Colombian and Peruvian Elections Prove Stalin Was Right - by Stephen Lendman
    Joe Stalin wasn’t just an ordinary dictator, he was a very savvy one. He had to have been to have held on to power for over 30 years, succeed in outfoxing his rivals, and even be able to break the back of the vaunted Nazi Wehrmacht that turned the tide of the war in Europe and led to Hitler’s demise. His political control at home and over his allied Warsaw Pact countries was best explained by the philosophy he (…)

    WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE A FAILURE?
    By Peter Fredson
    June 6, 2006
    I watch the Bush administration bellow and bluster its incompetence to the world. I watch as the cabinet dances war dances, shouts ominous threats, pronounces rivals to be EVIL and therefore unfit to live with decent Christian Republicans.
    I listen to little Condi Rice, the Black Angel of Death; scare the public once more with visions of mushroom clouds, aluminum tubes, yellow cake and other strategic lies. But Donald (…)

    As prospects grow for a Democratic takeover of the House of Representatives, and perhaps even the Senate, this November, the idea of impeachment is gaining attention. Yet even as polls show increasing numbers of Americans supporting the idea of removing Bush from office before the end of his term, Democratic Party leaders keep backing away.
    This is not simply bad politics. It is cowardly, wrong and dangerous.
    Let’s look at the facts.
