    Rumbles from the Street: The King is Dead! Long Live the People! GNN Hawai’i January 23 2006 via Time Portal 2453756.726123
    Senator Clinton & U.S. Congressional Leadership: Three cheers from the American "street" and the "outlands" of the Americas for your timely metaphor regarding Congress being run like a "PLANTATION"— by which you surely mean it has become elitist, corrupted, poisoned by paranoia, blinded by industry? All the "good old boys" with their bankrolls and silky suits (…)

  • Ominous sign / The president’s growing disregard for the law
    22 January 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
    1 comment

    President Bush’s latest tool for disrespecting the Constitution, Congress and the American people, used more than a hundred times so far, is the presidential signing statement.
    That statement is normally a few words that a president says when he signs a bill passed by Congress. In the past it was an occasion for the president to congratulate legislators who had been particularly active in passing the bill and to praise the new legislation generously, even if he himself had been (…)

  • ......to act is necessary

    As bellaciao says: To Rebel is right, to disobey is a duty, to act is necessary. I think as a people we have forgotten that those that sit in power have no power but the ones we give them. We can, if there was a way to join together, and be of one mind, can take them down. It is that which they fear. Ergo the division, the fear tactics, the misinformation. All it would take is getting it together and doing the deed. It is my belief that the concequences are what stops us. For there will be (…)

    A while ago, I had discussions with a number of people through emails where they have suggested that I back down in my criticisms of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton since she voted for the war and perhaps will be the Democratic candidate come 2008. But, if I want to remain truthful with my readers and have credibility, I simply have to stay the course. As an American that has been against this war from the start, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s vote for this war was (…)

    I Weep For My Country
    By Peter Fredson
    January 20, 2006
    Several years ago I was trying to find something on TV worth watching amidst all the commercial propaganda for cars, chapstick, sanitary napkins, and diet pills, when my attention was suddenly focused on the slight figure of a white-haired Senator, with a slight tremor, who was holding a palm-sized copy of our Constitution in his hand.
    He said this phrase which has since come back to haunt me. “Today I weep for my country.” At (…)

  • Hands Off Venezuela: Building Solidarity at the 2006 World Social Forum
    21 January 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    1. It is incontestable that at the current stage, what Chavez and his supporters are doing in Venezuela amount to Social Democratic reform implementation, not a socialist revolution. Given the current global politics of imperialist neoliberalism imposed by the WTO, IMF, World Bank and the US treasury department (for these four have to be considered together), and the fact that since the collapse of the so called socialist countries of East Europe and the USSR and the capitalist (…)

    When you hear Bush and his repetitions of democracy and freedom for all nations of the world, say to yourself, BULLSH*T!!! ...look for the real signs ...the true indicators of why the U.S. invades, attacks and occupies another country.
    The reasons are multifaceted, though simply put, the aggressive foreign policies we are seeing, the covert activities and the military strong arming used against other nations by the United States are by all accounts, actions used to coerce, intimidate and (…)

  • BUSH & CHENEY: WINDBAGS OF WAR EMIT MUCH HOT AIR & NATURAL GAS
    20 January 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Intent on spreading their unique brand of "catastrophic sucess" Cheney and his Boy Blunder have set their sights on Iran.
    They tell us that the mad , psychopathic mullahs are men of such deranged mindset , that no negotiation is possible.
    This vile demagogy plays to the worst instinct of Americans who have been brainwashed since birth to harbor this infantile view of the country.
    Cheney ,if not Bush, certainly knows that :
    a) Iran is a signatory country to the non (…)

    We’ve all heard the line. "That would make us look weak on national security." That line is supposed to be based on public opinion, not just the opinions of media corporations and pundits working for Pentagon-funded think tanks. That line is supposed to have something to do with the general American public. But it does not.
    Take a look at this survey from last spring by the Program on International Policy Attitudes (University of Maryland): http://tinyurl.com/8jzp5 (…)
