    If the United States government does try another coup d’etat against Chavez, it will show both their arrogance and stupidity...
    VHeadline.com commentarist Mary MacElveen writes: To my readers, you may have noticed no columns from me since I am presently serving as a juror in a civil matter. While I am not able to relay the particulars of the case that I am serving on due to the oath that I took, I feel like screaming.
    After I wrote the piece "Blow Back" ... then to read Roy Carson’s (…)

    The Bush administration argued yesterday that the president has inherent war powers under the Constitution to order warrantless eavesdropping on the international calls and e-mails of U.S. citizens and others in this country, offering the administration’s most detailed legal defense to date of its surveillance program.
    The Justice Department’s lengthy legal analysis also says that if a 1978 law that requires court warrants for domestic eavesdropping is interpreted as (…)

    Why did it take so long? 01/19/2006 17:15
    It was not surprising to discover that George W. Bush chose to illegally spy on American citizens
    I only have one question: Why did it take so long? In previous Pravda.Ru articles (Bush vs. Hitler, The Great American Treason, Articles of Impeachment and Indictment for High Crimes and Misdemeanors, The Death of the Bill of Rights, Parts I and II, and others), I warned of the clear and present danger the Bush dictatorship represents to America’s (…)

    With the billions of dollars appropriated by the U.S. for Iraqi reconstruction almost all spent, Japan, Australia and other nations in President George W. Bush’s “coalition of the willing” are likely to be asked to shoulder much of the burden for funding the large number of unfinished projects.
    Getting others to take up the slack is reportedly high on Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice’s agenda when she visits the Far East in March. Her trip, originally scheduled for (…)

    Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon suffered a severe stroke resulting in a cerebral hemorrhage on January 4, 2004. Paramedics rushed Sharon from his ranch in the Negev Desert to a Jerusalem hospital for life saving surgery. From the early news feeds and doctor’s comments things are not looking good. Internal bleeding after six hours of surgery led to another three hours in the operating room. After the second surgery doctors said his vital signs are stable, although his (…)

    In response to a past article written by Reggie: G.W. Bush: Deaf Man Talking I stated that her article goes much deeper than that. If you have not read this article, I highly recommend that you do.
    Here is my direct response to her outstanding article: “But, I think it goes much deeper than that. It goes to his mentality. I do not know if you were ever a fan of that show “The Pretender” I was a huge fan of it when it was on. In order to order to try to tie loose ends (…)

    Michael LedeenA controversial neoconservative who occasionally consulted for the Bush Defense Department has confirmed that he was a contributor to the Italian magazine Panorama, whose reporter first came across forged documents which purported that Iraq was seeking to obtain uranium from Niger.
    The bogus documents became the basis for the infamous sixteen words in President Bush’s 2003 State of the Union Address, in which he detailed his case for war. Their origin (…)

    The relevant excerpts from State of War appear at the bottom of this post
    After the Downing Street Memo was leaked last May, the U.S. and U.K. governments were eventually forced to admit it was genuine. However, they never revealed any background to the memo-most importantly, who did Richard Dearlove, head of British intelligence, meet with in Washington just before the July 23, 2002 high-level U.K. government meeting the memo memorialized? This would go a long way to (…)
