    HAVANA - Cuba retaliated for the U.S. diplomatic mission’s Christmas display supporting Cuban dissidents by putting up a billboard Friday emblazoned with photographs of American soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners and a huge swastika overlaid with a "Made in the U.S.A" stamp.
    The billboard, erected overnight facing the U.S. Interest Section’s offices, stands on the Malecon, Havana’s famed coastal highway.
    A diplomat at the mission noted the abuse of prisoners at (…)

  • Ohio recount- Cuyahoga County ballots pre-sorted

    Anomalies were found. Almost all of the witnesses that I spoke with felt that the ballots were not in random order, that they had been previously sorted. There would be long spurts of votes for only one candidate and then long spurts for another, which seemed statistically improbable to most.
    From what they were able to get through, witnesses found that signature counts were very much different from the official recorded number of ballots.
    At the time of the orientation, Jacqui Maiden (…)

  • John Kerry trying to undermine, delegitimize and minimize the Ohio recount

    In an exclusive interview with RAW STORY Friday, the Green Party’s presidential candidate David Cobb lashed out at Sen. John Kerry, saying he Democratic nominee has tried to “undermine,” “delegitimize” and “minimize” the Ohio recount.
    Cobb, who ran an unsuccessful bid for president, is at the vanguard of the Ohio recount. The Green and Libertarian Parties raised tens of thousands of dollars to pay for the recount and put county observers on the ground.
    Meanwhile, Cobb observed, Kerry has (…)

    Interesting with the new story of the bugging of the UN- no one wants to point out that the US was responsible for bugging the UN when they were trying to bribe/swing voters on the Iraq resolution before the war...

  • U.S. - A Call for a New Election
    17 December 2004 par (Open-Publishing)

    Currently, there is a big hue and cry on the part of the Green and Libertarian Parties, and Nader to count all the votes. I am in favor of this, as it will undoubtedly disclose major differences between false vote counts reported in the media - like 3.5 million more votes nationally for Bush than Kerry; 136,000 more for Bush than Kerry in Ohio, and other such inaccurate data. Counting every vote, just in the state of Ohio, will reveal one more lie the Bush government and a pliant press has (…)

    Gathered in Caracas, birthplace of Simon Bolivar, intellectuals and artists from fifty-two countries and diverse cultures, all agreed to build a wall of resistance against the project of global domination that is being imposed on the world today.

    One of our bloggers sent in this impassioned plea for help from Gary Polvinale, in Sandusky, Ohio. Gary describes how hard people in Ohio are working to make sure that every vote gets counted, and why he’s looking for you to write to the media and demand that they start reporting on the growing list of irregularities being uncovered as the recount moves ahead.

    You Intellectual You:
    The new word in town is "intellectual." Those people who were embarrassed to be called "liberal" now have a new word to be scared of, the "I" word, "intellectual." Listen to this response I received regarding my 12/15 article "Our Beautiful Horns" () :
    "Robin, Dubya won the election, get over it. Your Kafka-esque analogy illustrates your own self-loathing and intellectual dishonesty. Dismissal of the majority rule as being ignorant, selfish, and hypocritical only (…)

    Democracy at Death’s Doorstep
    In November 2000 democracy, or the mirage that passed for it, was dismembered, never again allowed to grace America with its cherished principles espousing the power of ‘We the People.’ It was four years ago that democracy inhaled its last breath of (…)
