    MARTIAL LAW DECLARED, RESISTERS TO BE SHOT
    By Peter Fredson
    A Political Satire
    In a surprise move that left many Americans gasping, Georgy W. Shrub was proclaimed as President-for-Life. Republican Senators gathered last night at midnight in a secret session and within an hour had given George Shrub all the powers he yearned for, had voted him in as President-for-Life and declared that any criticism of their move was treasonous.
    The smiling President-for-Life then swaggered down the (…)

  • Propaganda: Mantra politics

    All propaganda must be so popular and on such an intellectual level, that even the most stupid of those toward whom it is directed will understand it... Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way around, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise. - Adolf Hitler It is well worth asking the following question: Why, specifically, was the phrase ‘war on terror’ adopted as a slogan by the US/UK (…)

    Both right and left wary of giving domestic police power to military By STEWART M. POWELL Copyright 2005 Hearst News Service
    WASHINGTON - The law is from a bygone era, it has a Latin name and it’s never led to a prosecution, much less a conviction.
    Yet the mere hint that President Bush might try to tinker with the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act is stirring opposition across the political spectrum, prompting conservative and liberal activists to line up against any move (…)

  • Republicans Lie and Lie - ’06 budget

    ’06 budget remains a scandalous lie
    Alan Guebert
    Since early spring, Republican aggies in both the House and the Senate have warned their farm and ranch constituents that farm program spending will be cut $3 billion over five years beginning with the 2006 federal budget.
    How did they arrive at that amount and timetable?
    Simple. They pulled both figures out of thin air early in the 2006 budget process when party bosses designed, then pushed, a budget "reconciliation" bill through (…)

    Michael P. Wright — Norman, Oklahoma USA mpwright9@aol.com
    This evening at about 9:15 I was attempting to leave the south door of the University of Oklahoma library, which leads to the South Oval of the campus. The library guard told me that the exit was closed, because of an "incident" on the Oval about an hour earlier. In response to my question, he said it was an explosion, but had no further information.
    I then went out the west exit, and a security guard there said that a person (…)

    2 October 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Washington, Sep 30 (PTI) If Washington and its allies do not stop Iran’s nuclear programmes by force if necessary, Israel will, three Israeli legislators visiting the US have warned. "Israel will not live under the threat of an Iranian nuclear bomb. We feel we are obliged to warn our friends that Israel should not be pushed into a situation where we see no other solution but to act unilaterally against Iran," said Yosef Lapid, head of the Shinui Party.
    Lapid and his colleagues Yuval (…)

    By ROBERT PEAR
    WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 - Federal auditors said on Friday that the Bush administration violated the law by buying favorable news coverage of President Bush’s education policies, by making payments to the conservative commentator Armstrong Williams and by hiring a public relations company to analyze media perceptions of the Republican Party.
    In a blistering report, the investigators, from the Government Accountability Office, said the administration had disseminated "covert (…)

    Sept. 30, 2005 — A relatively rare biological agent has been detected in air filters serving Washington D.C. in recent weeks, ABC News has learned - but current evidence does not show any indication whatsoever of terrorism.
    The federal government found six air filters around the nation’s capital checked on Sept. 24 and 25 contained "trace amounts" of tularemia, a type of bacteria.
    The tests were conducted as part of routine homeland security procedures, in which selected air filters from (…)

  • Historical quotes to live by (these should be read to Bush)
    1 October 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    I ran across these quotes and believe everyone should really read and think about them. The problem is the ones who should really be reading them and be warned of future outcomes of their actions by these are too busy building up their war chests and private accounts. This applies to Republicans as well as Democrats. We really have to ask ourselves when sanity will reign again, if ever.
    The other problem I see is that it is widely known that Georgie does not like to read. He never has and (…)
