    THIS IS PROBABLY THE FIRST TIME YOU WILL SEE THIS PROOF — BUT NOT THE LAST.......The meeting gave the US permission for "renditions" — kidnapping Muslims off the streets of Europe — and CIA flights to take them to prison without trial (and, it turns out, to torture). I’ll quote from an EU-US meeting and show you the web link, you judge. Here’s the link: Furthermore, the US has secret CTICs — joint-venture spy nests — in over 25 countries! Condoleeza Rice is right, Gerhard Schroeder is (…)

    Publisher’s note: A hack like this could have easily swung Florida, and the 2004 election.

    Senator Margaret Chase Smith’s (R-Maine)A Declaration of Conscience
    June 1, 1950, Senator Margaret Chase Smith of Maine spoke on the Senate floor on behalf of the Declaration of Conscience. The declaration opposed McCarthyism. Smith’s speech is printed here.
    I would like to speak briefly and simply about a serious national condition. It is a national feeling of fear and frustration that could result in national suicide and the end of everything that we Americans hold dear. It is a (…)

    DEATH SENTENCE; TOO DIFFICULT FOR AMERICANS, BUT TOO EASY FOR INNOCENT IRAQIS ! The case of the execution of Stanley Roorkie Williams has drawn much attention in the western media. It took the American justice about 24 years to trail, convict, and execute a man who had brutally killed 4 innocent people !. This may express the preciousness of human life, that should not be terminated without a justice trail and due cause.
    ON THE OTHER hand, the scene in Iraq is very much gloomy. The (…)

    Much more than 30,000 Iraqis civilians were killed by the invasion !
    Mr Bush has announced in a recent speech that about 30,000 Iraqis have been killed after the invasion of Iraq. This number is very little compared with the actual number of civilians killed in Iraq. The reasons are:-
    1- The USA troops kill from the Iraqis and do not bother to keep an account of their killing. General Tomy Franks was quoted to say: "We do not do body count". 2- In the first few months after the (…)

    Washington — It’s about time that the "me too" Democrats, particularly those in Congress who vote with the Republicans so often, stand up and be counted.
    Too many Democrats are tiptoeing around the major issues facing our nation, afraid to venture out of the mainstream. This is a big mistake at a time when the nation is begging for true leadership.
    Democrats with the courage to be leaders could have a field day pointing out that millions of Americans lack health insurance and that 37 (…)

    SAN QUENTIN (FinalCall.com) - “The State of California just killed an innocent man,” three supporters of Stanley “Tookie” Williams, who witnessed his execution, harmonically yelled with their fists in the air as they left San Quentin State Prison’s death chamber.

    President Bush offered encouragement to war-weary Iraqis on Monday but acknowledged they have paid a heavy price _ 30,000 dead _ as a result of the U.S.-led invasion and its bloody aftermath.
    As Iraqis began voting in parliamentary elections, Bush said that no country has formed a democracy without "challenges, setbacks and false starts."
    "There’s still a lot of difficult work to be done in Iraq," the president said, "but thanks to the courage of the Iraqi people, the year 2005 will be (…)
