    We were not surprised to unfurl the Chicago Sun-Times Friday morning (1/21) to see a full page photo of a grinning, designer-dressed "First Family" leaving the White House for the inauguration with the headline: "Bush’s Bold Vision: ’The Survival of Liberty in our Land Increasingly Depends on the Success of Liberty in Other Lands.’"
    We were lucky we hadn’t eaten breakfast yet.
    You see, Karl Rove had met with the White House propaganda staff shortly after the November "vote," and they (…)

    Why don’t We Organize Our Own Paper Ballot Election?
    We who believe that the vote was stolen could organize a paper-ballot-only un-official election. One where every eligible voter was allowed to vote. One where all votes were counted in public with multiple witnesses from every group and the press. One where each precinct announced it’s totals after tally, with completely public tabulation.
    If there are really over fifty million of us who believe the election was a lie propagated by (…)

    Interview with John Conyers
    Raw Story’s John Byrne and Larisa Alexandrovna spent some time yesterday speaking with Representative John Conyers, Jr. (D-Mich.). Although many people have only recently discovered Rep. Conyers through his investigation of Ohio voting irregularities, Conyers has in fact been a prominent force in the civil rights movement for over 35 years. Conyers is one of the founding members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) and is now the second ranking member in the (…)

    The Inaugural Police State by Jim
    Of the people who continued on the march to protest Bush’s inauguration the vast majority did not make it through the 14th Street checkpoint on time. I joined the march from Malcolm X park after attending the "Cost of War" gathering at the United Methodist Church. The march split at a park along the way and some people stayed for the Left.org Ball. Of the people who continued on the march to protest Bush’s inauguration the vast majority did not make it (…)

    Canada, Here They Come...They Threatened To Run For The Border If Bush Was Re-Elected. But How Many Did? Andrew Buncombe 20 January 2005
    At their home in a comfortable, quiet Seattle suburb, Mike Teller and his partner Bob Vesely will not be cheering today. Indeed, while the celebratory thousands line the streets for the presidential inauguration 3,000 miles away in Washington DC, Teller and Vesely will think of their future and the greener pastures they believe await them. They’ll be (…)

    Their sons killed in Iraq, women speak out on whether $17M slated for inaugural security would be better spent on armoring the troops BY MARTIN C. EVANS STAFF WRITER
    January 20, 2005
    In November, Jeanette Urbina’s soldier son telephoned from Iraq with a simple request.
    It was cold there, Army Spc. Wilfredo F. Urbina told her. Could she send him a sweater?
    Three days later, he was dead. An explosive device had sliced into his Humvee while he was patrolling in Baghdad.
    Yesterday, (…)

  • How Free Is The US Free Press?

    How Free Is The US Free Press? Dr. James Zogby Friday, 21, January, 2005 Just how free is the US’ “free press?” Does the absence of direct government control, by itself, create a “free press?” In a paper I recently presented at a conference organized by the Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research, I sought to make a contribution to this discussion by examining the influences that impact US media.
    While there is no direct political influence or control of US media, such as may (…)

    No Takers As US Offers Forgiveness To Insurgents Aamer Madhani, Tribune staff reporter January 19, 2005
    BAQOUBA, Iraq - The plan was a hopeful one: Some of those siding with the insurgency in this restive city would be offered a chance to drop their weapons and vow not to sabotage the elections.
    U.S. military commanders invited suspected insurgents and religious and tribal leaders sympathetic to the resistance to gather Tuesday for a conference with Iraqi government and military (…)

    Bush’s Promises? Oh, Never Mind Clarence Page January 19, 2005 WASHINGTON - If Washington gave out honors in the way that Hollywood gives out Oscars, President Bush would deserve an Emily Litella Award for political U-turns.
    If you don’t recall why Ms. Litella’s name rings a bell, she was the grumpy old editorial-reply lady played by the late Gilda Radner in the early days of "Saturday Night Live."
    Ms. Litella would weekly launch into a tirade over some outrage that she inevitably had (…)
