  • Karl Rove’s treasonous act is unacceptable
    1 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    I would hope that the Palladium-Item will continue to follow the story of Karl Rove’s outing of the CIA agent, Valerie Plame.
    With terrorism at an all-time high in western countries, the compromise of our national security should not be taken lightly. During 9/11, we learned a very harsh lesson on the value of proper intelligence and on keeping the lines of communication clear in order to perform. Now we have someone in the current administration, during a time of war, compromising an (…)

    Origins of the Species Neo-Con By Roger Morris Date: April 19, 2005 \
    Part I: Out of a Faraway Fog
    Tracking the genealogy of the cabal of neo-conservatives who have so disastrously dominated foreign policy under George W. Bush, journalists have followed a political bloodline back to the 1960s, to cold war pamphleteers like Irving Kristol and Norman Podhoretz, and-more respectably if also more tenuously- to the postwar University of Chicago political theorist Leo Strauss.
    As so often (…)

  • 70% approval rating; USA needs Chavez-style leadership not Bush terror!

    The Gallup Poll that was just released on July 29, shows that Bush’s approval rating now stands at 44%. According to their findings: “Four in 10 Americans are satisfied with the way things are going in the country.”
    The poll also shows a “continued positive momentum for the Democratic Party in terms of national party identification and ratings” ... I just wish that the Democratic Party would spend this political capital.
    Shortly after the London and Egypt attacks, (…)

    Marvelous Marvin : the Bush Who Seems to be in All the Right Places
    By DAVE LINDORFF
    Let me say right from the get go that I’m not a conspiracy theorist by nature. As a journalist I like to see the facts line up solidly before I go with an accusation.
    At the same time, I also subscribe to Noam Chomsky’s approach of looking at how differently the media and government deal with similar situations and issues when they involve the right and the left.
    And on that basis, I have to marvel (…)

  • Bush should be impeached

    Yes. Norma Abbey is right. Some people get their respect out of a crackerjack box. If President Clinton had done what President Bush has done, he would not have been impeached, he would have been railroaded out of Washington. Bush should be impeached for the lies he told, and for what he has done.
    Clinton’s lies may have been an infraction of justice, but Bush’s lies and incompetence have cost many lives and great destruction. I would bet that the investigators were just as guilty of the (…)

  • Judge Orders FBI to Tell How They Spy on Americans

    A federal judge in Portland ruled Thursday that Brandon Mayfield’s high-profile challenge to the USA Patriot Act can go forward.
    In a 48-page rejection of the Justice Department’s motion for dismissal, U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken also ordered the FBI to open up files showing how agents secretly spied on Mayfield and his family.
    Federal law enforcement officials had released some details of the so-called sneak and peak searches of the family’s home in the spring of 2004.
    However, (…)

    As students organizing against the war on campuses across the United States, we stand in support of full self-determination throughout the Middle East, including the self-determination of Iraqis and of Palestinians. As our generation is asked to sacrifice our consciences and our lives for the sake of U.S. empire-building, we are committed to opposing that empire-building in its entirety.
    In the Middle East today, illegal occupations exist not only in Iraq, but also in (…)

    At the very first National Security Council meeting of the Bush administration held on January 30, 2001, according to then Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill:
    "From the very beginning, there was a conviction, that Saddam Hussein was a bad person and that he needed to go...ten days after the inauguration."
    That tone had set the new administration’s secret policy - to invade Iraq intentionally and unconditionally.
    As the Bush administration embroils in scandal after scandal, it’s obvious (…)

  • HOW MUCH DO I LOATHE THEE?

    LET ME COUNT THE WAYS. PART ONE By Peter Fredson July 31, 2005
    I have been keeping track of George W. Bush and his strange shenanigans for over 6 years. I have hundreds of files on his doings, sayings, and atrocities. I did not start out hating him, but was curious about how this callow shallow inarticulate culturally-incurious spoiled rich boy could possibly have been entered into the political arena by the party bosses.
    His early years shed no light on his leadership ability. His rich (…)

    I have not been keeping this a secret all this time. I started putting this information online at my own website in December 2002.
    In the fall of 2001, a librarian at the University of Oklahoma in Norman (OU) told me that she was present when the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) conducted an interview about the fact that an airline ticket for a 9/11 hijacker was purchased from a computer terminal at that school’s library. She said it was for United Flight 93, which crashed in (…)
