  • The Killing Silence of Alan Greenspan
    3 October 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    “Our lives begin to end the day we become ‘silent’ about things that matter.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
    He held one of the highest positions that can be bestowed on a public servant. I’m referring to Alan Greenspan, the former Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (1987-2006). After leaving office, he penned a tell-all book that filled his pockets with mega-greenbacks. It’s entitled, “The Age of Turbulence.” In it, he made this shocking statement: “It is politically (…)

    30 September 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Seymour M. Hersh
    In a series of public statements in recent months, President Bush and members of his Administration have redefined the war in Iraq, to an increasing degree, as a strategic battle between the United States and Iran. “Shia extremists, backed by Iran, are training Iraqis to carry out attacks on our forces and the Iraqi people,” Bush told the national convention of the American Legion in August.
    “The attacks on our bases and our troops by Iranian-supplied munitions have (…)

    Look what I found posted to my door this morning! It was a multi-page document printed on bright red paper. I took a look out my window, and sure enough, there’s an army humvee parked down the streets with a couple of soldiers milling about. What the fuck is going on? !!! ATTENTION !!!

  • IRAN-USA : Turning Ahmadinejad into public enemy No. 1
    28 September 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    Demonizing the Iranian president and making his visit to New York seem controversial are all part of the neoconservative push for yet another war.
    By Juan Cole
    09/24/07 "Salon" — - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s visit to New York to address the United Nations General Assembly has become a media circus. But the controversy does not stem from the reasons usually cited.
    The media has focused on debating whether he should be allowed to speak at Columbia University on Monday, or (…)

    [Remarks at September 15, 2007, impeachment rally in Miami, Fla., organized by www.floridaimpeach.org ]
    It’s great to see such a crowd and so many groups represented. I especially want to thank Veterans for Peace. Dave Cline was a great leader and will be badly missed. We should all go out and do as much as he did with his admirable life.
    On a lighter note, I went to a party yesterday in Washington, D.C. You might think we have very (…)

    “The shepherd always tries to persuade the sheep that their interests and his own are the same.” - Stendhal

Billy Graham, who has created a multimillion dollar media empire, that a Rupert Murdock would envy, is the subject of a shocking expose’ due out on Nov. 15, 2007.

    By Brian McAfee
    With President Bush recently bringing up the killing fields of South East Asia as justification for the US continuing the war in Iraq [1], I could not help but think of John Pilger’s 1991 film "Cambodia: The Betrayal." This documentary investigates and outlines the West’s, particularly the US’s, behind the scenes and ongoing support for Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. Indeed, this backing began during the Carter administration and it continued throughout both the Reagan and (…)
