    "We have been misled, away from the true and divine presence in the Universe that men have called God. I don’t know what God is but I know what he isn’t. And unless and until you are prepared to look at the whole truth, wherever it may go, whoever it may lead to ... if you want to look the other way or if you want to play favorites, then somewhere along the line you’re going to find out you’re messing with (…)

    By David Swanson
    The impeachment movement is gaining traction, and now - over the next two weeks - is the time to push it all the way to success. Over the weekend, supporters of impeachment made "Impeach Cheney" the number 1 video on Youtube. On Friday, for the first time, a polling company asked Americans if they want Cheney impeached. A majority of 54% said Yes, and the poll was reported in the media. Congressman John Conyers even cited it on ABC’s "This Week" on Sunday.
    On July 4, the (…)

    Dear activists, colleagues and friends,
    That’s right, we said the "I" word. And you should be saying it too — to your family, your friends, your neighbors, your pets and the hearty 26% of Americans who somehow still believe the Bush/Cheney team more worthy of sitting in the Oval Office than an undisclosed location stripped of all authority to further damage the country we love.
    You’ll want to say it even more after watching our video with the evidence for impeachment right there: (…)

    Quietly but insidiously, Gordon Brown’s regime is working diligently to turn Britain into a full-blown police state, the kind which Hitler and Stalin would have been proud of.
    Almost unannounced, Britain now has a Minister of Security, ex-Navy Admiral, Sir Alan West.
    The creation of such a post is a disturbing sign of how advanced has become the politicization of the intelligence and police services in Britain and their servility to a foreign policy created, not in Britain, but in (…)

    No matter what your position on 9/11...Surprise attack, totally unanticipated to government conspiracy, one fact stands out clearly; The Neocons gained real power as a direct result of the terror strike, and Bush gained temporary respect as a champion of "freedom fighting", and was successful with subesequent streams of lies which, under any other circumstances, would have been purely and simply ridiculed by any idiot with more than mashed potatoes for brains. In addition, Colin Powell was (…)

    Eureka Springs, Arkansas - Lewis “Scooter” Libby is not going to a federal prison for 30 months, or even for one day. His boss, Vice President Dick Cheney, made sure of that. U.S. District Court Judge, the Hon. Reggie B. Walton, had ruled that the Neocon, a crony of another prime architect of the Iraqi War, Paul Wolfowitz, deserved serious jail time for lying to a Grand Jury and the FBI. (1) The (…)

    A few years ago, I remember seeing a commercial to help stop drunk driving which said, “Friends do not let friends drive drunk” and the act of a good friend would have been to take away the keys to the car so that no one would get hurt. Most likely that commercial did save countless lives.
    So when I read this statement coming from Senator Gordon Smith (R) of Oregon in which he said of President Bush, "President Bush is my friend, and I don’t always agree with my (…)
