  • Chomsky: ’There Is No War On Terror’
    17 January 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    The acclaimed critic of U.S. foreign policy analyzes Bush’s current political troubles, the war on Iraq, and what’s really behind the global ’war on terror.’
    By Geov Parrish
    For over 40 years, MIT professor Noam Chomsky has been one of the world’s leading intellectual critics of U.S. foreign policy. Today, with America’s latest imperial adventure in trouble both politically and militarily, Chomsky — who turned 77 last month — vows not to slow down "as long as I’m ambulatory." I spoke (…)

    Los locos de adentro y la locura de afuera
    Por Erasmo Magoulas*
    Canadá, el país bajo una “democracia aséptica”, casi de laboratorio, (porque el pueblo no la ha tocado por muchos años) va a elecciones federales en la cuarta semana de enero. Pongamos en perspectiva a este país de la “eterna democracia” del cual raramente se lee una noticia en las agencias internacionales de prensa.

    by Katherine Stapp

    MLK 1 Unjust Evil and Futile War - mp3
    I will be discussing today one of the most controversial issues confronting our nation. I’m using as a subject from which to preach, why I am opposed to the war in Vietnam.
    Now let me make it clear in the beginning, that I see this war as an unjust, evil and futile war. I preach to you today on the war in Vietnam because my conscience leaves me with no other choice. The time has come for America to hear the truth about this tragic war. In (…)

    Bush to criminalize protesters under Patriot Act as "disruptors" by Patriot Daily News Clearinghouse Thu Jan 12, 2006 at 03:27:26 PM NZDT
    Bush wants to create the new criminal of "disruptor" who can be jailed for the crime of "disruptive behavior." A "little-noticed provision" in the latest version of the Patriot Act will empower Secret Service to charge protesters with a new crime of "disrupting major events including political conventions and the Olympics." Secret Service would also be (…)

    by WILLIAM P. JONES
    The recent transit workers’ strike in New York City was a vivid reminder that unions maintain considerable leverage despite their shrinking numbers. Buried beneath the stories about tense negotiations, holiday shopping disruptions and commuters hoofing it over the Brooklyn Bridge was one of labor’s past glories—the creation of Martin Luther King Day. When Transport Workers’ Union president Roger Toussaint demanded recognition of the holiday, he cited the Metropolitan (…)

  • Why is there an Alito Hearing at all? Why is Bush, who lied us into a war, appointing anyone?
    12 January 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
    4 comments

    Sam Alito is merely the latest liar on the block for Bush’s full spectrum dominance agenda. But the show-trial hearings on whether this proto-fascist ideologue should be allowed to shape US social and political development for a generation provide some nuggets of insight into how the corrupt junta’s pathological liars actually work.
    The first order of amazement is that the process can actually take place. Shouldn’t precedence be given to hearings on impeaching and imprisoning the corporate (…)

    Imperialist Devastation of Peoples and the Evils Done in our Names
    Let us for a few moments put aside our lavish lifestyles of fortuitous endowment and providence that have made us blind to the realities of billions of our fellow humans. Let us ignore our plasma televisions, our DVDs, our two-story cookie cutter homes and gas-guzzling SUVs. Let us promise to not open our overstocked pantries and refrigerators, or to go out and eat at one of (…)

    By David Swanson
    President Nixon famously said that if the President does it, it’s legal. And he didn’t think that up on his own - that’s a way of thinking that has long had currency in America.
    Today there are over 150 Out of Iraq events like this one happening around the country. A dozen members of Congress are taking part. Numerous candidates for Congress, local elected officials, and national leaders of the peace movement are speaking. Large crowds are gathering. We’ll see what sort (…)
