    by Bob Fitrakis & Harvey Wasserman
    As federal probes rack Team Bush in Washington, three huge indictments for money laundering and other pro-Bush election crimes involving Ohio "Coingate" lynchpin Tom Noe have stoked powerful new Watergate-style financial fires under Ohio’s stolen 2004 election scandal.
    A close associate of key Republicans from George H.W. Bush to George W. Bush to Ohio Senator George Voinovich to Ohio Governor Robert Taft and many, many more, Noe has long been known (…)

    Does anyone remember that quirky little document called "the roadmap," the proposed path to peace initiated by the Quartet-the United States, the European Union, the United Nations, and Russia-involving the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians?
    If you remember it and its contents, you can recall that Israelis and Palestinians should be in phase two (of three) of the plan by now: the creation of a quasi Palestinian state with "provisional borders" and the markings of (…)

    People say that those who believe that 9/11 was an inside job are conspiracy theorists.
    Well, go to the following link, read the story, view the video clip of the testimony, and see if you still feel that way. If you don’t find this disturbing then you are not being objective.

  • THE INCOMPETENT CONSPIRACY

    As we watch the events of our lives unfold millions of people breathe the word “conspiracy” as if everyone is out to get them. Why?
    The only conspiracy is the conspiracy of incompetence.
    It begins by being afraid - very, very afraid. Of what - the men with guns? That happens later, much later. This fear is far more simplistic, and it truly threatens your way of life.
    The conspiracy begins with very small people living in fear of being discovered - to protect (…)

  • Talking Points on House Resolution 505

    by David Swanson
    This piece of legislation is the clearest way for Congress to demand a serious investigation of the Plame leak and the war lies that preceded it.
    This privileged Resolution of Inquiry, introduced by Dennis Kucinich, has a lifespan of 14 legislative days, ending on or about November 9 with a vote in the House International Relations Committee. It is crucial that we build support before that date through a long list of cosponsors.
    H Res 505 would require the White House (…)

    It’s official. The extreme right has torpedoed the nomination of Harriet Miers. She has withdrawn her nomination, as predicted, explaining that she didn’t want Bush to have to weaken is right of executive privilege by releasing papers she’d written for him. The timing is (…)

  • David Edger, 9/11, and Chilean Terrorists of the Pinochet Regime

    by Michael P. Wright — Norman, Oklahoma USA mpwright9@aol.com
    For a quick review, I have argued that former U.S. Senator David Boren, his protege George Tenet, and another CIA agent named David Edger were the inner circle of the CIA in 2001. In 1994, Boren became the president of the University of Oklahoma in Norman, and brought Edger to OU in the summer of 2001 with a "visiting professor" appointment. Here is a photo of Edger:
    I have stated the suspicion that this trio let the 9/11 (…)

  • The True Cost of War

    This immoral invasion and occupation of Iraq has cost the world so much. George and his reckless war of choice have cost the American taxpayers billions of dollars that could be better spent at home. Judging from Katrina, Iraq has cost our country much of its security. It has cost the US any good standing we enjoyed in the world community. It cost America the post 9/11 good will from almost the entire world. We Americans are the laughing stock of the world community. Not only is our callous (…)

  • Cindy Sheehan for President...or Senate
    1 November 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    The Anti-War Left Seeks a Challenger for Hillary Clinton by Kristen Lombardi Cindy Sheehan, a/k/a the "peace mom," probably never intended to sound like a candidate, but she did. Sheehan, the activist who became the face of anti-war sentiment after camping outside President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas, last summer, had just mounted the podium at the Brooklyn Peace Fair on October 22. And already she was getting political.
    "Maybe later we’ll talk about your senators," she said, (…)

    A former guardsman suffering from Gulf War Syndrome has won a landmark legal case against the Ministry of Defence.
    Daniel Martin, 35, who has suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome, memory loss and impaired concentration since the 1991 conflict, will receive a disability award under the "umbrella term" of Gulf War Syndrome.
    He is one of 1,500 soldiers who made a claim for a disablement pension because of the syndrome, which, for the past 14 years, the MoD has said does not exist.
