  • Message To Democrats: Supporting Feingold Is the Path To Enlightenment
    16 March 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    The air is filthy with signs of Democratic weakness, ripe with the odor of flop sweat and self-shitting. Perhaps one of the more puissant signs is the near absence on the Democratic National Committee website of mention of Senator Russ Feingold’s call for censure of the President for the illegal domestic spying program. It’s only referenced once, in the DNC’s blog, as a way to criticize odious bastard Wayne Allard for saying that Feingold is "siding with terrorists" for believing that the (…)

    Professor Turley
    President Bush has for many years asserted authority that is both absolute and in my view, quite dangerous.
    In August 1 2002, there was the infamous torture memo, put out by the justice department, that stated in significant part, that the President could indeed (…)

    The "Salvador" option by Michael Hirsh and John Barry
    Newsweek
    Updated: Jan. 14, 2005
    Jan. 8 - What to do about the deepening quagmire of Iraq? The Pentagon’s latest approach is being called "the Salvador option"-and the fact that it is being discussed at all is a measure of just how worried Donald Rumsfeld really is. "What everyone agrees is that we can’t just go on as we are," one senior military officer told NEWSWEEK. "We have to find a way to take the offensive against the (…)

    WASHINGTON - An FBI counterterrorism unit monitored - and apparently infiltrated - a peace group in Pittsburgh that opposed the invasion of Iraq, according to internal agency documents released on Tuesday.
    The disclosure raised new questions about the extent to which federal authorities have been conducting surveillance operations against Americans since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
    Previous revelations include FBI (…)

  • U.S. Military Airstrikes Significantly Increased in Iraq by Tom Lasseter

    Published on Wednesday, March 15, 2006 by Knight Ridder
    BAGHDAD - American forces have dramatically increased airstrikes in Iraq during the past five months, a change of tactics that may foreshadow how the United States plans to battle a still-strong insurgency while reducing the number of U.S. ground troops serving here.
    A review of military data shows that daily bombing runs and jet-missile launches have increased by more than 50 percent in the past five months, compared with the same (…)

  • Latin America and Asia are Breaking Free of Washington’s Grip By NOAM CHOMSKY
    15 March 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    The prospect that Europe and Asia might move towards greater independence has troubled US planners since the second world war. The concerns have only risen as the "tripolar order"—Europe, North America and Asia—has continued to evolve.
    Every day Latin America, too, is becoming more independent. Now Asia and the Americas are strengthening their ties while the reigning superpower, the odd man out, consumes itself in misadventures in the Middle East.
    Regional integration in Asia and Latin (…)

    Once again our elected so-called leaders stick wet fingers in the wind, consult the political "Don’t-ever-take-a-stand-or-some-voter-realorimagined-somewhere-may-take-offense-and-not-vote-for-me" manual, and fail to back Russ Feingold in his (actually mild) censure resolution. It was okay for 20 Senate Dems. to vote to censure Bill Clinton for getting bl*wj*bs by a consenting adult on his own time, and for the House of Representatives to impeach him for the same thing, but not okay to even (…)

  • George W. Bush is not evil. He is just stupid.

    I once saw a bumper sticker that read: “I’ve never made a mistake. I thought I did once, but I was wrong.”
    Well I have made a mistake. And today I must apologize to loyal PRAVDA.Ru readers, and to the thirty percent of Americans still enamored with the Bush dictatorship.
    George W. Bush is not evil.
    He’s just stupid.
    On second thought, this stupidity does make him susceptible to the Machiavellian machinations of evil men, like Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Donald Rumsfeld, Alberto (…)

    By Brandon Batzloff Editor, Free Voices freevoices@lycos.com In October 2004, i wrote an essay titled “US and Russia: Democracy in Check” in which i compared the methods that both the United States and Russia were using to curtail human rights and democratic process. Since that time both countries have taken great steps in this direction, but the US has definitely taken the lead. Under the banner of providing security and an expanded economy, the Bush regime has taken unprecedented (…)
