    One theory is backed by a massive body of research representing fifty years of intense scientific inquiry. The other theory is an unproven relic of the eighteenth century.
    So which theory have we in the West, in our infinite wisdom, chosen to embrace? Why, the fundamentally absurd ’Fossil Fuel’ theory, of course — the same theory that the ’Peak Oil’ doomsday warnings are based (…)

    WASHINGTON - U.S. Representatives Lynn Woolsey (D-Petaluma), Barbara Lee (D-Oakland), Jim McDermott (D-WA), John Conyers (D-MI), and Danny Davis (D-IL) today announced that they will vote against President Bush’s request for $81 Billion to continue war in Iraq. The war in Iraq has not made America safer, the supplemental request lacks accountability and the President has failed to plan for the return of U.S. troops. The U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on President Bush’s (…)

    Democracy Fails: Corporations Win
    Democracy in the United States is only a shadow in a corporate media cave of deceit, lies and incomplete information. We stand ignorant of what the powerful are doing in our name and how the corporate media ignores key issues affecting us all.
    A young professional couple from San Diego stated the weekend before the election, "we don’t think voting will make any difference so why bother?" Over 80 million eligible voters joined them by refusing to (…)

    Fewer Americans approve of the way Congress is handling its job than at any time since shortly after Republicans impeached President Clinton, a Gallup Poll finds.
    Only 37% of Americans gave Congress a high approval rating, down from 45% last month, the poll taken last week showed. A total of 53% disapproved, up from 48% in February.
    It was the worst showing for Congress since September 1999, the year after the Republican-controlled House of Representatives impeached Clinton.
    Even then, (…)

    Friend Abroad, Enemy At Home George Bush Is Freedom’s Biggest Supporter Abroad, But He Is Actively Eroding Our Freedoms Here At Home Michael Coblenz March 11, 2005 On his recent European trip, President George Bush took every opportunity to praise liberty, democracy and “freedom.” He frequently mentioned that the United States and most European nations share common traditions of democracy and freedom.

    Bush Continues To Alienate World Bill Gallagher March 15, 2005 DETROIT - President George W. Bush has created an atmosphere of unparalleled distrust toward the United States as people from places around the globe now shudder when he makes increasingly frequent declarations about his "vision" for the world. From avowed enemies to longtime allies and even our closest neighbors, open hostility toward the United States is epidemic.
    People who once looked toward America with admiration and (…)

    By Richard Waddington
    GENEVA - The United States, usually a finger-pointer on human rights, could end up in the dock itself over reports of torture and abuse in its war on terror when the United Nations begins a worldwide scrutiny this week.
    Activists, such as the New York-based Human Rights Watch, are urging members of the Commission on Human Rights to condemn Washington for mistreatment of prisoners detained abroad.
    If any such move emerges during the commission’s annual session, (…)

  • Vote NO on Bush’s $82 billion Supplemental Budget Request to fund the occupations of Iraq & Afghanistan
    15 March 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    The House of Representatives is preparing to vote on the Bush Administration’s request for an additional $82 billion to fund the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, perhaps as early as Tuesday, March 15, 2005. Every day the U.S. spends over $200 million of working peoples’ money to fund war and occupation in Iraq. 100,000 Iraqis have died. More than 1,500 U.S. soldiers have been killed and thousands more wounded. There should not be one more dime spent on Bush’s criminal wars, occupations (…)

    There must me 10,000 clothing designers within a five-block radius of Madison Square Garden, in Manhattan’s Garment District. Yet, the New York Knickerbockers, who play in MSG, have the ugliest uniforms in the National Basketball Association. They are drab white rags with screaming, loud orange numbers. It looks like the same design firm that created the lovely uniforms for the Lincoln Tunnel traffic cops made them.
    Attention! Would someone please create new uniforms for (…)
