    By Alexandra Hudson
    MAINZ, Germany - About 12,000 protesters, many carrying banners reading "Bush go home," "No. 1 Terrorist" and "Warmonger," marched through the German city of Mainz on Wednesday, but were mostly kept away from the visiting U.S. president.
    The official rally, which was twice as big as expected, never got within earshot of President Bush, but a small group of protestors rushed toward his car as he left to visit a U.S. base in nearby Wiesbaden. Police wrestled several (…)

    As George W. Bush is inaugurated for a second term, let it not be said that people in the United States silently acquiesced in the face of this shameful coronation of war, greed, and intolerance. He does not speak for us. He does not represent us. He does not act in our name.
    No election, whether fair or fraudulent, can legitimize criminal wars on foreign countries, torture, the wholesale violation of human rights, and the end of science and reason.
    In our name, the Bush government (…)

    I have been an environmental advocate for twenty years, and I’ve been disciplined during that period about being nonpartisan in my approach to this issue. The worst thing that can happen to the environment is if it becomes the province of a single political party. Most of the environmental leaders in our country agree with me. Five years ago, if you asked the leaders of the major environmental groups in America, What’s the gravest threat to the global environment?, they would have given you (…)

  • Paul Bremer and the Looting of Iraq

    I have never met Paul Bremer. Yet like a criminal investigator I have stalked him across Iraq for the past 2-1/2 years. In Baghdad I kept my distance from the "Coalition Provisional Authority." I immediately felt this organization would be a disaster, and I was right.
    Since his return to the United States last June Bremer has tried to disassociate himself from his own record. Yet there is now no doubt that Iraq was systematically looted under Bremer’s administration. Like a piano player in (…)

    On Sunday the founder of ’gonzo’ journalism, died at the age of 67 of an apparent suicide. Today we are air a Jan. 2003 interview Thompson gave on KDNK in the Roaring Fork Valley in Colorado. An excerpt: "Bush is really the evil one here and it is more than just him. We are the Nazis in this game and I don’t like it. I am embarrassed and I am pissed off. I mean to say something. I think a lot of people in this country agree with me - a lot than that are saying anything...we’ll see what (…)

    How Blind Can Christians Be About Bush’s Case For War? Jim Moore February 23, 2005 It’s no big secret. Conservative Christians (fundamentalists) stand foursquare behind President George W. Bush in his so-called war on terror. They have their reasons.
    In his incisive article, The Christian Case for War, Stephen W. Carson tells us that these are some reasons he has gleaned from his talks with people. It is those reasons that he lists in his article, together with his personal refutation (…)

    Freedoms Lost Under G.W. Bush Chuck Baldwin February 01, 2005 Supporters and apologists for President G.W. Bush will often assail my assertion that the Bush administration has done more to dismantle constitutional protections of our liberties than any president in modern memory. It seems that these people believe that until federal Storm Troopers knock down the doors of their homes and drag them off to the gulags, they have lost no freedoms. Nothing could be further from the truth. If (…)

  • Not In Our Name, Mr. President

    Not In Our Name, Mr. President 02-21-2005 An opportunity for productive social outreach looms on the horizon. A day is coming - maybe in weeks, maybe in months or maybe in years - when President Bush’s true-believers hit the wall of credibility. They have been led to believe our “war on terror,” as the president calls it, pits the forces of good vs. the forces of evil. Unfortunately, every report of the United States inhumanely abusing prisoners in its care tarnishes our gold star and (…)

    Breaking news of the day: It’s getting hard to find American fast food in Mainz on Wednesday. In fact, the entire city center has been shut down, (…)

  • Bush Was Wired for NATO Press Conference

    George W. Bush, who is allegedly on a "charm offensive" across Europe, dropped the charm and was simply offensive at his NATO press conference when he once again relied on a hidden earpiece to feed him canned soundbite answers to reporters’ questions.
    As NASA scientist Robert Nelson proved last fall, George W. Bush relied on a wireless earpiece in all three of his debates with John Kerry during the 2004 campaign. While bloggers (including Democrats.com, IsBushWired.com, MysteryBulge, (…)
