  • Iran May Be The Greatest Crisis Of Modern Times
    13 April 2007 par (Open-Publishing)
    5 comments

    In a cover piece for the New Statesman, John Pilger evokes the memory of Germans ’looking from the side’ at Bergen-Belsen to describe the challenge facing us in the West as the Bush/Blair ’long war’ becomes ’perhaps the greatest crisis of modern times’. The Israeli journalist Amira Hass describes the moment her mother, Hannah, was marched from a cattle train to the Nazi concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen. "They were sick and some were dying," she says. "Then my mother saw these German women (…)

    Both Pres. Bush and Congress will keep our troops in Iraq By Mary MacElveen April 10, 2007
    In this Countdown feed it is becoming evident that President Bush will get his way as it pertains to the handling of this war. I do believe as Keith Olbermann does that the senate Democrats “are beginning to blink” when it comes to setting up arbitrary timelines for our withdrawal of troops from Iraq.
    As you listen to this feed, Senator Carl Levin stated, “We are not going to jeopardize the (…)

    by David Swanson
    Senators are in their states until April 9, and Congress Members in their districts until April 15. Now’s an ideal time, by yourself or as a small group, to go and meet with your representatives....
    You may want to lobby for:
    1. Impeachment of Bush and Cheney: Here are resources. You should not allow your congress member or senators to maintain the pretense that any investigation is needed prior to beginning an impeachment hearing. Tell them that the FISA violations (…)

  • American Mugabe

    Most Americans really don’t understand their president.
    And, no, I’m not even talking about the thirty percent or so who still give him a positive approval rating. I’m not sure those folks understand anything.
    Among the remaining seventy percent, however, I would estimate that the vast bulk still have not fully apprehended what we’re dealing with here. Because what we’re dealing with is nothing short of an American Mugabe.
    Even among the vast majority who disapprove of Bush’s (…)

    ”The pot is beginning to boil over the food, human and pet, poisonings. I am digging up more data of Mad Cow in the U.S. and the Chinese have denied the wildl US claims that wheat glutin is poisoned. Their glutin is almost all used inside China and the main company has not shipped any glutin to pet food plants.
    Of more immediate interest is the mobbing of Fat Karl Rove on Wednesday. Although the media closely confined the story and limited its distribution, (…)

  • America has become bilingual with Bush at the helm
    6 April 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    Make all the jokes you want! Laugh to your heart’s content about Bush’s very limited vocabulary; or Americans’ loyalty to one spousal language and only fling encounters with a few Tex-Mex dialects! Although we may not yet recognize it, this nation of ours has ceased to be a monolingual butt of embarrassment. We are now, officially to the world, fully bilingual. And thanks to our tutor-in-chief we have become fluent, overnight, in this mystery second language – well, perhaps not a mystery (…)

    “It is the common people, who must, under God, save us.” - Sam Adams, patriot and rebel against British rule in America. (1)
    Baltimore, MD - The goldfish in our pond had a pretty rough time this winter. The great blue heron, a majestic bird, which is usually found on the waters of the Chesapeake Bay, was eating them for dessert. I would chase the herons away, whenever I could, but they kept coming back, and back, until they got them all, except a few too small to bother with. If you’re the (…)

  • ‘Cruel, Callous, Inhumane and Unacceptable.’

    An Open Letter to the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown, M.P.
    Dear Mr Brown,
    Standing in Afghanistan, you called the Iranian holding of fifteen British sailors who it is likely strayed in to Iranian waters: ‘Cruel, callous, inhumane and unacceptable.’ Breathtaking.Compared to the behavior of the UK and US troops, their treatment in Iran is seemingly a health spa.
    ‘Cruel, callous, inhumane and (…)
