    The Department of Homeland Security has the absolute right to seize, without any warrant whatsoever, any and all customer bank accounts, to make “periodic and unannounced” visits to any bank to open and inspect the contents of “selected safe deposit boxes.”
    Further, these boxes, taken from a DHS list of people who are considered “hostile to the present government, citizens who have visited outside the United States before or after 9/11 to countries now considered to be hostile to this (…)

    The Legacy of G. W. Bush 2
    By Peter Fredson January 29, 2006 Part Two: GEORGE W. BUSH AND COMPASSION
    I have studied the mannerisms, verbalizations and actions of GWB for some years. I now realize that nothing is what it seems to be. GWB may never have studied George Orwell, but he has mastered the arts of Double-Think (holding two separate contradictory thoughts at the same time) and of NewSpeak (in which words rarely mean what they seem or actually represent the opposite of what is (…)

    NEW ORLEANS - Officials and community advocates are quietly planting the seeds for an enterprising program that could give the government temporary control over thousands of privately owned homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina.
    An increasing number of Louisiana housing authorities believe the proposal, based on an arcane legal concept called "usufruct," could be a key to determining whether New Orleans will again be a seminal American city or whether it will stagnate with a population, like (…)

  • Blair in Secret Plot with Bush to Dupe U.N.

    A White House leak revealing astonishing details of how Tony Blair and George Bush lied about the Iraq war is set to cause a worldwide political storm.
    A new book exposes how the two men connived to dupe the United Nations and blows the lid off Mr Blair’s claim that he was a restraining influence on Mr Bush.
    He offered his total support for the war at a secret White House summit as Mr Bush displayed his contempt for the UN, made a series of wild threats against Saddam Hussein and showed (…)

    THE LEGACY OF GEORGE W. BUSH 1
    Part One
    By Peter Fredson
    January 28, 2006
    The passionate interlude of William Clinton with Monica Lewinsky started my computer files of Presidential adventures. Soon thousands of files of interesting escapades filled my computer hard-drive, although none as sexy as those of Bill and Monica.
    There was a great moral outrage of Republican Senators over the Presidential blow-job with a tremendous sackcloth-and-ashes routine for months, including (…)

    By Wayne Madsen
    Researchers and investigators have uncovered links between a Miami bank that collapsed in 2002 amid a fraud scandal that was highlighted by billions of dollars in questionable cash and fraudulent loans and money movements linked to the Bush family and businesses linked to funding pilot training for the 9-11 hijackers. After the collapse of Hamilton Bank of Miami, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), an entity that WMR has reported has been transformed by the (…)

  • Hearings, lawsuit slam Bush spying defense
    29 January 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    WASHINGTON - The White House has unleashed a hard-line defense of the Bush administration’s spying on Americans without a warrant, claiming that only “credible threats” linked to al-Qaeda have been under surveillance and the snooping is necessary to protect “national security.”
    Conveniently, a new Osama bin Laden tape diverted attention from a tidal wave of angry questions about the spying. But targets of the eavesdropping called it a dangerous assault on their constitutional rights, aimed (…)

  • Some activists, politicians speaking openly about impeachment
    29 January 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    WASHINGTON - The word "impeachment" is popping up increasingly these days and not just off the lips of liberal activists spouting predictable bumper-sticker slogans.
    After the unfounded claims about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction and recent news of domestic spying without warrants, mainstream politicians and ordinary voters are talking openly about the possibility that President Bush could be impeached. So is at least one powerful Republican senator, Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., chairman (…)

  • US diplomat flees Venezuela rather than face charges of CIA espionage
    29 January 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Prensa Latina: The naval attache of the US Embassy in Venezuela, John Correa, has left the country after his participation in an espionage case involving several Venezuelan low-ranking officers was revealed.
    When he realized the espionage network had been discovered, Correa organized the escape of several of the officers involved to Miami, and then he fled when Venezuelan authorities called him up for a meeting, according to a report on Friday’s VEA newspaper.
    Vice President Jose (…)
