    Hideous Kinky: Moral Nullity as Normality in Pentagon Plans
    By Chris Floyd
    May 1, 2006 chrisfloyd.com
    Imagine growing up in a family where every day, father raped daughter, mother tortured son, brother abused brother, sister stole from sister, and the whole family murdered neighbors, friends and passing strangers. Imagine the underlying assumptions about life that you would adopt without question in such an atmosphere, how normal the most hideous depravity would seem. If some outsider (…)

    How the Bush Administration is Using Terror Laws to Prosecute Nonviolent Environmental Activists
    Green is the New Red
    By WILL POTTER counterpunch
    The Red Scare was less about evidence than really great PR. Joseph McCarthy and crew flacked one word so relentlessly, so virulently, that it became a political albatross to hang around anyone’s neck. The true meaning of the word fell by the wayside: communism became a fluid brand to slap on the enemy of the hour.
    Now, Green is the new Red. (…)

    Hecklers interrupt Rumsfeld speech
    Defense secretary cites importance of non-traditional allies
    ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) — Protesters repeatedly interrupted Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld during a speech Thursday, and one man, a former CIA analyst, accused him of lying about Iraq prewar intelligence in an unusually vociferous display of anti-war sentiment.
    "Why did you lie to get us into a war that caused these kind of casualties and was not necessary?" asked Ray McGovern, the (…)

    4 May 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    As concerns rise about the Bush administration’s disregard for laws, the House Rules Committee is suffocating efforts to give whistleblowers a voice, and the Committee Chair has a conflict of interest involving an alleged double agent for China who contributed to Republican campaigns.
    When the Committee considered ethics reform legislation last week, it blocked a floor vote on reforms that included protections for whistleblowers who warn of failures and abuses in national security (…)

    “Saints should always be judged guilty before they are proved innocent...” - George Orwell
    On March 18, 1991, not long after 88,500 tons of lethal cluster bombs, guided missile, BLU-82s, and smart bombs had stopped falling on the Iraqi people in the first Persian Gulf War, a surreal ceremony took place inside the White House. Elie Wiesel, the celebrity Jewish Holocaust survivor, was there. He presented an award to Dubya’s daddy, George H.W. Bush, aka "Bush I." The prize acclaimed the (…)

    Today a new CNN poll revealed what to me is a shocking fact; only 4% of the electorate find ethical behavior in the U.S.government a major issue!
    This is outrageous!
    Does the public care about fining Halliburton, KBR and other nefarious lawbreaking Iraq contractors for their disgusting actions against the Iraqis and American taxpayers? NO!
    Does the public care or wonder about what happened to 8.8 billion dollars of reconstruction money for Iraq? NO!

    EVO MORALES’ COURAGEOUS MOVE NOW MAKES HIM A US TARGET ALONG WITH HUGO CHAVEZ - by Stephen Lendman
    To get a good sense of where US policy is heading, one need only read the front page of the New York Times or Wall Street Journal - painful as that may be to do. I skip the Times but do read the Journal daily because of the audience it reaches - high level people in business and government who want real information to guide them in their work. So despite the Journal being a voice for US (…)
