  • This is George Bush’s accountability moment
    11 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    This is George Bush’s accountability moment. That’s why I’m here. The mainstream media aren’t holding him accountable. Neither is Congress. So I’m not leaving Crawford until he’s held accountable. It’s ironic, given the attacks leveled at me recently, how some in the media are so quick to scrutinize — and distort — the words and actions of a grieving mother but not the words and actions of the president of the United States.
    But now it’s time for him to level with me and with the American (…)

    Dear Elected Officials,
    When are you all going to take back your constitutional authority from the maniac in the White House? If you all won’t protect us, who willl?
    We are seriously screwed and you all sit back and let the administrative branch take away our freedoms and foist criminals on us: people with no humanity or regard for our American Constitution or humanity. People like Alberto Gonzales and John Negroponte and most recently, John Bolton...torturers and murderers, to name a (…)

    Moving Back To America: Health Care Overseas Will August 09, 2005 In a few months, I’ll move back to the United States after five years of living abroad. I can’t wait to be home again and to be closer to family and friends. However, there are some annoying administrative details to sort out, the worst of which is researching health care plans for my wife and me. The process is only slightly more enjoyable than a Chlamydia test.
    In England, we were covered by National Insurance. While (…)

  • Republicans Violate Own Policy By Paying Officials Legal Bills

    Republicans Violate Own Policy By Paying Officials Legal Bills John Solomon August 11, 2005 Despite a zero-tolerance policy on tampering with voters, the Republican Party has quietly paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to provide private defense lawyers for a former Bush campaign official charged with conspiring to keep Democrats from voting in New Hampshire.
    James Tobin, the president’s 2004 campaign chairman for New England, is charged in New Hampshire federal court with four (…)

    How Can We Stop The Machine? J. Russell Tyldesley August 05, 2005 Mr. Chuckman’s article, "Hitler’s Shadow and the Coming Storm," is broad in scope. The analogies to Hitler’s Germany are insightful and, I believe, are far more numerous than those mentioned. What worries me the most is the inability or unwillingness of the American people to stop the Bush machine in its tracks. This was the fatal mistake of the Germans, although many tried and many saw the coming threat. One of the (…)

    "Loyalty" And Other Matters Margie Burns August 09, 2005 Multiple references to George W. Bush’s “loyalty” to his personnel are a symptom of chronic shallow assumptions. Some fundamentals, here: The Chief Executive of the United States owes his loyalty to his country, not to a few insiders. If John Bolton and Stephen Hadley and Condoleezza Rice did wrong in their responses to 9/11 and their war-boosting against Iraq-and they did do wrong, repeatedly-then they should be asked to resign. (…)

    DOES GOD NEED BUSH’S HELP?
    August 9, 2005
    By Peter Fredson
    Theodore Roosevelt, he of the “Speak softly, but carry a big stick,” motto, at times rattled sabers, did considerable bullying, and did not hesitate to commit armed forces in dubious circumstances. He also was familiar with ‘yellow’ journalism, exemplified by the Hearst publications and seemed to enjoy the rough-and-tumble tactics of opponents who sought to slander his every move.
    He also said: "To announce that there should (…)

  • Why is the media burying new revelations about 9/11?

    By Joseph Kay and Barry Grey
    The revelation that a military intelligence unit had identified four September 11 hijackers as Al Qaeda operatives working in the US a year before the 9/11 attacks has sparked a flurry of disclaimers and denials from official sources, while most media outlets have ignored the story altogether.
    The fact that the government had long been tracking some of the hijackers, including the putative leader, Mohammad Atta, was revealed in a front page article in the New (…)

  • Holed up on a ranch, Bush won’t mix it up with ’Mom’

    W. can’t get no satisfaction on Iraq.
    There’s an angry mother of a dead soldier camping outside his Crawford ranch, demanding to see a president who prefers his sympathy to be carefully choreographed.
    A new CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll shows that a majority of Americans now think that going to war was a mistake and that the war has made the United States more vulnerable to terrorism. So fighting them there means it’s more likely we’ll have to fight them here?

    Reporter suggests Brynes discovered plan to turn nuke exercise into staged terror attack
    by Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones
    The head of Fort Monroe’s Training and Doctrine Command, four star general Kevin P. Byrnes, was fired Tuesday apparently for sexual misconduct according to official sources.
    Other sources however have offered a different explanation for Byrnes’ dismissal which ties in with the Bush administration’s unpopular plan to attack Iran and the staged nuclear attack in (…)
