    "Promote, then, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened." - George Washington’s farewell adress to the nation 1796

    WHAT THE $#@^#! BLACKWATER AND THE RED CROSS Yesterday I drove to the Algiers Red Cross distribution point which is located in the southern section of the Algiers neighborhood near the middle-class white section of town. As soon as I walked in, I noticed a frowning young man in a khaki shirt and black hat with a sidearm and corporate logo prominently displayed.
    Blackwater Security is now providing security to the Red Cross! That’s right, you heard correctly. Armed mecenaries are providing (…)

    The verdict on Lynndie England, A major abuse and a minor sentence !
    After more than a year of investigations and discussions by American Courts, the verdict by a military court has come to sentence Lynndie England to 3 years of imprisonment. The photos which have been disclosed about Lynndie have shown torture, sexual assault and humiliation of Iraqi detainee in Abu-Graib Prison. The pictures only show part of the suffering of those innocent detainee and only God knows what they have (…)

    Last update: September 21, 2005
    There’s not a great deal of confidence in the Federal Emergency Management Agency now that Florida gets ready to clean up after another hurricane. FEMA continues to be attacked for cronyism.
    This is unfair criticism. Cronyism is putting your friends into jobs for which they are patently unqualified. President George Bush did not hang out with his FEMA appointees — and certainly does not do so (…)

  • American soldiers killing Iraqis and disgrace the dead on a porn site.
    29 September 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Support the troops they commit attrocities and publish the results on a porn site: click While the military proclaims there is nothing wrong to do so! here a few examples! We ask for forgiveness because we publish this only for documentation. Those who died needless - in the name of false propaganda: American freedom and democracy. Americans! Ask yourself why you carry stickers on your cars like: support our troops, or May God bless our troops.
    Only barbarians would support such (…)

    If only the coffee shop Big Cup had changed its name to the Luxurious Latte it might have survived. Instead, the cornerstone of New York’s gay Chelsea neighborhood closed shop earlier this month after the landlord raised the rent from $16,500 to $21,500. The downfall of the Big Cup is indicative of dramatic changes taking place in gayborhoods across America, where artists are pushed out, as art dealers move in.
    From San Francisco’s Castro District to Provincetown, the hard (…)

    Rumors supplanted accurate information and media magnified the problem. Rapes, violence and estimates of the dead were wrong.

    BATON ROUGE, La. - Maj. Ed Bush recalled how he stood in the bed of a pickup truck in the days after Hurricane Katrina, struggling to help the crowd outside the Louisiana Superdome separate fact from fiction. Armed only with a megaphone and scant information, he might have been shouting into, well, a hurricane.

    AFL-CIO Executive Committee Statement
    The devastation caused by hurricane Katrina has led millions of Americans to open our hearts to the helpless victims of the Gulf Coast communities. Donations by the millions have poured in.

    LYNNDIE ENGLAND is convicted. Donald Rumsfeld cackles. England, the 22-year-old private, was found guilty as prosecutors convinced an all-male Army jury that she bore full responsibility for ’’her own sick humor" in the infamous photographs of her at Abu Ghraib holding a naked prisoner on a leash and smiling as she pointed at a prisoner’s genitals.
    Defense lawyers depicted England as a depressed reservist, a mere file clerk who was compliant to authority and easy to (…)
