    The Truth Shall Set You Back Lying Is No Sin For Bush’s Minions Margaret Carlson January 13, 2005 At CBS, four high-level people (five, if you count Dan Rather giving up his anchor chair) have been fired for being taken in by phony documents. You may not think that’s enough, but what strikes me is how rare such firings are. When there’s lying, cheating and stealing on Wall Street, a prosecutor has to have the corporate executive dead to rights - at Fannie Mae, at Marsh & McLennan, at (…)

    Brave New Era For Privacy Fight Kim Zetter January 13, 2005
    As the nation prepares for President Bush’s inauguration next week, privacy activists on both sides of the political spectrum are bracing for a White House push to augment controversial domestic surveillance powers gained under the Patriot Act and other legislation passed since 9/11.
    "The administration has made it clear that they do intend to continue their move to dramatically reduce privacy and constitutional protection for (…)

    Dear Senator Kerry,
    I recieved your email asking for people to call Dennis Hastert and Bill Frist about voting rights and the need for changes regarding the way elections are conducted, and applaud your efforts to advocate this important issue.
    I intend to call and write Senators once I have drawn up a proposal for actual legislation to address these issues. It won’t be immediate, but I will certainly be promoting the proposal to my email list as well as calling congress to ask (…)

    On December 18, I attended Gary Webb’s memorial service in Sacramento, California, along with about 250 other people.
    In 1996, Webb wrote a series of articles (“Dark Alliance”) for the San Jose Mercury News reporting that, in the 1980s, “a San Francisco Bay Area drug ring sold tons of cocaine to...street gangs of Los Angeles and funneled millions in drug profits to an arm of the contra guerrillas of Nicaragua run by the Central Intelligence Agency” and the “cocaine that flooded in helped (…)

  • Election reform movement? - We need to enforce our current law!
    12 January 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    I consider the two methods by which the republicans used to steal the 2004 election: 1) paperless electronic voting and 2) massive disenfranchisement of primarily African-American voters; to be two SEPARATE issues. Yes, they were combined to produce the same end, namely another Bus sElection; aside from this, they are fundamentally unrelated.
    Many democrats and DUers are calling for an Election Reform movement which will address both issues in ONE campaign. I VEHEMENTLY disagree that this (…)

    In CBS Memos Coverage, Media Ignored - Or Even Denied - Credible Evidence That Bush Failed To Fulfill National Guard Duty January 12, 2005 The media is allowing conservatives to use the release of the Independent Review Panel report examining CBS News’ 60 Minutes Wednesday’s September 8 broadcast of questionable memos to claim that the report disposed of all remaining questions that have been raised about President Bush’s service in the National Guard. In fact, substantial evidence exists, (…)

    Marching Boots of Mass Psychosis
    It is in times of fascism rising that armies of ignorance are once more resuscitated from the bowels of a society bordering on the edge of mass psychosis. The America at the dawn of the twenty-first century is no exception, for an army of fascism is being born inside its womb, its growing power in numbers and ideology granting freedom of action to immoral despots and juntas of warmongering greed addicts. Contrived through the mass (…)
