  • Junk Food Nation: Who’s to Blame for Childhood Obesity?

    by Gary Ruskin & Juliet Schor
    In recent months the major food companies have been trying hard to convince Americans that they feel the pain of our expanding waistlines, especially when it comes to kids. Kraft announced it would no longer market Oreos to younger children, McDonald’s promoted itself as a salad producer and Coca-Cola said it won’t advertise to kids under 12. But behind the scenes it’s hardball as usual, with the junk food giants pushing the Bush Administration to defend (…)

    CHARMING KILLERS
    By Peter Fredson
    August 17, 2005
    Last week I watched part of a TV documentary on Serial Killers. One which most aroused my curiosity was Ted Bundy. Ted Bundy, (Theodore Robert Cowell, born November 24, 1946,) also called “The Poster Boy of Serial Killers”
    He was different from stereotypes of murderous maniacs. He was usually well-dressed and very well mannered. He had a ready smile, was handsome, personable, smart, urbane and charming. As a college student he did (…)

  • Why is George Bush Afraid to Face Cindy Sheehan?
    17 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    It is clear from the amount of time passed by that George Bush is afraid to face the mother of one of the young men he ordered into battle to die.
    If his case on Iraq is so air tight, why is he unable to explain it in clear and simple terms to the mother of one of his dead soldiers? He’s on vacation, so he certainly must have the time.
    Cindy Sheehan sacrificed her son for goals that appear to have shifted like the sand Casey died on. First it was WMD, then it was Saddam’s purported links (…)

  • The Emperor is Naked! The Empire is a Lie!
    17 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
    5 comments

    Cindy Sheehan has been able to demonstrate just how naked the Emperor is, and thus demonstrate the lie of Empire.
    No one else could, because everyone else was afraid. Howard Dean said "we broke it, we own it." John Kerry supported it and couldn’t back away from it.
    This is how Democrats felt forced to respond, because they’d been stuck into a political wilderness for a generation by Vietnam. They were afraid to equate Iraq with Vietnam, fearing that political wilderness, and its chains, (…)

  • Mona in the Field of Crosses (at Camp Casey)

    By Greg Moses
    “Every voice that comes behind Cindy Sheehan sparks a new voice, and someone else stands up. Someone else is not afraid anymore.” Mona is speaking from the back seat of a Camp Casey shuttle as the Texas prairie speeds past. Today Mona is not afraid what the President will think. But she is worried to death about her son, who is headed for Iraq next month. Mona’s anti-war movement is on a tight schedule indeed. Even the national protests scheduled for Sept. 24-26 in D.C. may (…)

  • World Without Cancer

    G. Edward Griffin marshals the evidence that cancer is a deficiency disease - like scurvy or pellagra - aggravated by the lack of an essential food compound in modern man’s diet. That substance is vitamin B17. In its purified form developed for cancer therapy, it is known as Laetrile.
    This story is not approved by orthodox medicine. The FDA, the AMA, and The American Cancer Society have labeled it fraud and quackery. Yet the evidence is clear that here, at last, is the final answer to (…)

    Today on the Mike Malloy show, Cindy announced that Joan Baez will be Coming to Camp Casey to play a concert for Cindy and her supporters.
    Woodstock 2005 begins....
    At a time in our country’s history when it was neither safe nor fashionable, Joan put herself on the line countless times, and her life’s work was mirrored in her music. She sang about freedom and Civil Rights everywhere, from the backs of flatbed trucks to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial at Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King’s (…)

    Deborah Mathews reporting for The Iconoclast
    Cindy Sheehan held a press conference a few minutes ago. Here is what she said:
    "A kind gentleman from down the road offered us the use of his property. It’s right by the barricade. He offered it because he heard about the shots fired. He didn’t think that was right. He happens to be the third cousin of the person that fired the shots and so he came down and he said he supports us 100 (…)

    Hundreds Converge on Peace House, Riling at least One of the President’s Neighbors.
    by Michael Fletcher CRAWFORD, Texas — Barbara Cummings was home in San Diego last Monday, listening to an Air America radio broadcast, when she heard the tale of a woman who was going to join Cindy Sheehan in her growing protest against the war in Iraq.
    The woman on the radio had a son who had signed on for a second tour of duty in the Army after losing his job. In two weeks, he is scheduled to ship out (…)
