    Russia would consider using force if necessary to respond if the US put a combat weapon into space, according to a senior Russian official.
    According to a New York Times report yesterday, the Bush administration was moving towards implementing a new space policy that would move the US closer to placing offensive and defensive weapons in space. Russia, China and many US allies oppose any weaponisation of space, partly out of concerns that it would lead to an extremely expensive post-cold (…)

ACLU affiliates today filed FOIA requests seeking similar documents in ten states.

    Bush administration forced to detain Posada Carriles
    Federal agents detained the anti-Castro Cuban terrorist Luis Posada Carriles in Miami Tuesday shortly after he held a press conference where he told reporters that the government was not looking for him and he felt no need to hide.
    The arrest, in which Posada was whisked away in a Blackhawk helicopter to an undisclosed location, followed weeks of implausible denials by the US State Department that it had any knowledge as to his (…)

    That incriminating "smoking gun" memo proving the Bush and Blair Administrations pre-determined an invasion and occupation of Iraq long before the invasion occurred has apparently come and gone, barely noted in the American press, AWOL from editorial pages. Eighty-eight brave members of Congress signed and sent a letter authored by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) ( http://www.rawstory.com/aexternal/conyers_iraq_letter_502 ) asking President Bush to answer questions about the secret U.S.-UK (…)

    Dear Democratic Elected Officials of the United States (with damn few exceptions),
    I am writing this open letter to call your attention to the remarks made yesterday, May 17, 2005, to the United States Senate, by British MP George Galloway of the independent Respect Party. I do this because he serves as an example of why your party should be abandoned by the U.S. working class, by U.S. women, by oppressed nationalities in the United States, and by anyone who professes to be a progressive (…)

    On May 3rd, 2005, a young English Major, Ajai Raj attended a speaking engagement for Ann Coulter.
    Ms. Coulter is not a stranger to controversy. She has been booed at several events and even an attempted pie throwing incident occurred.
    What happened though, on May 3rd has prompted Global News Matrix to take it a step further.
    Ajai Raj asked a question..a crude question that did not warrant an answer. He knew he would be asked to leave the event. What happened next in our (…)

    Bush Acceptance Speech
    George Bush’s driveling acceptance speech of Jan 20 was a shrouded, call for ethnic cleansing globally and lying vilifying of heads of state world-wide (read : Manuel Noriega , Saddam Hussein) .If the US empire desires to loot a nation of its resources the US will start a demonizing campaign of that nation’s head of state, and a dog and pony show of lying such as we did with Iraq claiming that these leaders are suppressing the citizenry yea stymieing their freedom (…)

  • White House, Secret Service Stories on Gannon/Guckert Passes Don’t Match
    20 May 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
    1 comment

    Friday, White House press secretary Scott McClellan told ePluribus Media that his office had never requested a 30-day security clearance for James D. Guckert, aka "Jeff Gannon," directly contradicting a statement made earlier that day by the U.S. Secret Service.
    The Secret Service’s "30-day access list program," used by the White House press office, would have allowed Guckert to visit the briefing room for a 30-day period without undergoing daily criminal-history checks.
    At 2 p.m. EDT on (…)

  • Nuzak: What the mainstream media are giving us is elevator news’

    by John W. Baker
    Recently, I encountered the term "WPN" (for "what passes for news"). I’d like to propose a related term, "Nuzak." It’s a functional description of how WPN fits into the life of the average Joe, who never reads a newspaper except for the sports section.
    Nuzak is like Muzak. It runs in the background. It’s a New York Times headline on the way out of the house. It’s CNN at the airport. It’s Fox News at home whileJoe is really doing something else. The purpose of Nuzak is to (…)
