    To the RED CROSS Organization
    To the Human Rights Watch
    Dear sirs,
    I am writing to you to draw your attention to the tens of Iraqis that are being killed every day by the air raids performed by USA troops in the Al-Ramadi province west of Baghdad. This series of barbaric raids started in April 2004 in which few hundreds civilians were killed and few thousands were injured. That massacre was followed by another much bigger one in Nov. 2004 in which 10 times the casualties were incurred (…)

    From the Oceans, Indiscriminate Devastation
    As if to burst the bubble of human grandeur, infallibility and perceived omnipotence, Earth has once again thundered powerful vibrations onto her once pristine surface, in a sudden instant of horrific oceanic energy killing hundreds of thousands of innocent human beings and laying waste to vast coastlines throughout Asiatic (…)

  • Selling Out American Public Interest to Oil Industry
    1 September 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    As one notorious example of selling out public interest to the oil industry, the Senate has passed the Energy Bill that favors corporate interests by increasing gas prices and enacting toothless policies on oil demand, production and imports. At the heart of the fight in this bill is to allow oil drilling in the Alaskan sanctuary, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). However, the House of Representatives can reject it by using a deceptive budget maneuver to thwart the Senate’s tacit (…)

  • Impeach Bush

    Impeach Bush Joseph Farah August 31, 2005 Pat Buchanan, former communications director to President Ronald Reagan, former presidential candidate and WND commentator, has come to the conclusion that a courageous Republican legislator should move a bill for impeachment of President Bush.
    I reluctantly agree - and for the same reasons.
    President Bush has had nearly five years in office to honor his oath of office and enforce immigration laws in this country.
    He has not only failed, he (…)

  • Waiting for a Leader

    George W. Bush gave one of the worst speeches of his life yesterday, especially given the level of national distress and the need for words of consolation and wisdom. In what seems to be a ritual in this administration, the president appeared a day later than he was needed. He then read an address of a quality more appropriate for an Arbor Day celebration: a long laundry list of pounds of ice, generators and blankets delivered to the stricken Gulf Coast. He advised the public that anybody (…)

    Super-Size Your Apocalypse with Bacon & Cheese Why Excessive Lifestyles will Lead to Even Greater Devastation
    BZ. Bywydd (GNN)
    We have finally reached a crisis of "climate change" in America which most of the world has already suffered— environmental devastation on a scale which lays bare our vulnerable existence on an unforgiving ocean planet.
    At the same time researchers are identifying the worst of all global warming gases: cow farts. Not just flatulence, but the outgassing of (…)

  • The National Guard Belongs in New Orleans and Biloxi. Not Baghdad.

    by Norman Solomon The men and women of the National Guard shouldn’t be killing in Iraq.
    They should be helping in New Orleans and Biloxi.
    The catastrophic hurricane was an act of God. But the U.S. war effort in Iraq is a continuing act of the president. And now, that effort is hampering the capacity of the National Guard to save lives at home.
    Before the flooding of New Orleans drastically escalated on Tuesday, the White House tried to disarm questions that could be politically (…)

    31 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    By THOM SHANKER
    WASHINGTON The value of military weapons sales worldwide jumped in 2004 to the highest level since 2000, driven by arms deals with developing nations, especially India, Saudi Arabia and China, according to a new Congressional study.
    The total of arms sales and weapons transfer agreements to both industrialized and developing nations was nearly $37 billion in 2004, according to the study.
    That total was the largest since 2000, when global arms sales reached $42.1 (…)

    The police chief, whose identity has not yet been revealed, gave the statement to lawyers representing Abdelbaset Ali (…)

  • What Eating Cindy Sheehan?

    By Jason Leopold
    Cindy Sheehan has been subjected to an unwarranted backlash by right-wing pundits because of her antiwar protests and some explosive statements she made about President Bush. Perhaps Sheehan, while mourning the death of her son, Casey, a U.S. soldier who died in the Iraq war, lashed out at the president, and decided to take her antiwar message to Crawford, Texas, after doing some fact checking on her emotional state. If so, these are likely some of the circumstances that (…)
