  • Is Your Printer Spying On You?

    Is Your Printer Spying On You? Posted by Donna Wentworth July 24, 2005 Imagine that every time you printed a document, it automatically included a secret code that could be used to identify the printer — and potentially, the person who used it. Sounds like something from an episode of "Alias," right?
    Unfortunately, the scenario isn’t fictional. In an effort to identify counterfeiters, the US government has succeeded in persuading some color laser printer manufacturers to encode each page (…)

    Big Brother Wants To Be Diet Cop Associated Press July 25, 2005 At least half a million New Yorkers have diabetes, many of them at risk for blindness, kidney failure, amputations and heart problems because they are doing a poor job of controlling their illness. The question is, how much privacy are they willing to give up for a chance at better health?
    A century after New York became the first American city to track people with infectious diseases as a way to halt epidemics, officials (…)

    Karl Rove: An American Traitor Bill Gallagher July 26, 2005 Detroit - It is the holy of holies, the sanctum sanctorum, the secret underground bunker where Vice President Dick Cheney, the Bushevik Buddha, holds court, shares his wisdom and issues orders. It is also a crime scene. It’s the dark cave where Cheney and other conspirators plotted the outing of an undercover CIA officer. And when their treasonous deed was exposed, they used this vile den to map their cover-up plan, which (…)

    The Party Of Responsibility Cenk Uygur July 25, 2005 I’ve been reading a lot lately about what the Democratic Party should stand for. This is a question of framing and a question of principle. There are a great number of policies that I think the Democrats should support in domestic and foreign policy. But that’s not what I’m talking about here. I’m talking about a central idea that resonates with the American people.
    I think this central idea should be - responsibility.

    Actress and activist Jane Fonda said she intends to take a cross-country bus tour to call for an end to U.S. military operations in Iraq.
    Fonda said her antiwar tour in March will use a bus that runs on "vegetable oil." She will be joined by families of Iraq war veterans and her daughter.
    Fonda was speaking Saturday in Santa Fe, N.M., where she was promoting her book, "My Life So Far." The actress released the book in April, which among other things gave her side of the story in regard (…)

    Stand athwart the apocalypse, and shout: "No!"
    by Justin Raimondo
    A recent poll shows six in ten Americans think a new world war is coming: the same poll says about 50 percent approve of the dropping of the atomic bomb on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II. Somewhat inexplicably, about two-thirds say nuking those two cities was "unavoidable." One can only wonder, then, what their reaction will be to this ominous news, revealed in a recent issue of (…)

  • Train Wreck of the Week
    25 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    In three votes the Senate, unable to reach a consensus on how much to spend, rejected proposals to increase the Homeland Security Department’s budget for mass transit and rail by amounts from $100 million to $1.4 billion. It finally voted 96 to 1 to adopt a $31.9 billion spending plan for Fatherland Security in the 2006 budget, which is preposterous. There is little if no terrorist threat in America.
    By next June the British plan to cut their forces in Iraq from 8,500 to 3,000 at the same (…)

  • Much more than 25,000 Iraqis civilians were killed by the invation !

    Much more than 25,000 Iraqis civilians were killed by the invation !
    The number given by the IBC is very little compared with the civilians killed in Iraq. The reasons are:-
    1- The USA troops kill from the Iraqis and do not bother to keep an account of their killing. General Tomy Franks was quoted to say: "We do not do body count". 2- In the first few months after invasion of Iraq there were no real government in Iraq and health offices were not in position to give accurate statistics (…)

  • Bush-Cheney Paranoia: ’Domestic Terrorism’ & the National Security Service (The New SS)

    (7-18-05) Talked with an FBI agent last week, someone I haven’t talked to in about ten years or so. He was with a domestic terrorism task force in the Western regional FBI office in the mid-1990’s. This was at the peak of what the FBI thought was a potential crisis with “domestic terrorism,” i.e. the so-called militia groups. As everyone knows, the militia groups reached their peak of influence in the mid-1990s.
    At that point, the FBI was becoming increasingly concerned. (…)

    The Spies Who Came In from the Hot Tub
    Be All That You Can Charge
    By Tom Engelhardt
    Like so much else in our moment, it contravened laws the U.S. had once signed onto, pretzeled the English language, went directly to the darkside, was connected to various administration lies and manipulations that preceded the invasion of Iraq, and was based on taking the American taxpayer to the cleaners. I’m talking about a now-notorious Bush (…)
