    Demonstrably flying away from the fraternity of nations has not been achieved solely by the recriminations of the worst president in living memory. Rather, this phenomenon has lingered in the American conscious for the last fifty years, evolving slowly but surely thanks to a rapidly evolving Pax Americana and its exponentially growing exploitation of the world’s remaining natural and human resources that continues to increase at unprecedented rates. This (…)

    Abu Ghraib General Karpinski: Rumsfeld authorized abuse
    Abu Ghraib General Lambastes Bush Administration
    By Marjorie Cohn
    I had been hesitant to speak out before because this Administration is so vindictive. But now I will...Anybody who confronts this Administration or Rumsfeld or the Pentagon with a true assessment, they find themselves either out of a job, out of their positions, fired, relieved or chastised. Their career comes to an end. Janis Karpinski, interview with Marjorie (…)

  • Why Pat Robertson isn’t treated as a terrorist
    24 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    We really do know why Pat Robertson won’t be treated as a terrorist. It’s for the same reason Bush’s former Attorney General of the United States could tell a group of decent, honest, hard-working American Muslims that they should count themselves lucky they weren’t being treated the way Japanese Americans were during World War II. It’s for the same reason that Bush protects a mass murderer named Luis Posada Carriles from extradition and trial. It’s for the same reason that American troops (…)

    WHY BUSH INVADED IRAQ
    By Peter Fredson
    Let me see if I got it right. Bush is away on a long vacation when teams of Muslims, most of them from Saudi Arabia, crash 3 planes into government installations, another falls into a field, but none were intercepted despite considerable intelligence that this might happen. So Bush and Cheney get into planes, and scoot into bunkers. Later they make speeches while letting their Saudi Arabian oil partners fly out of possible embarrassment. And this (…)

  • Cold Qualls Two - First Tears then hate
    24 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Remember, Gary Qualls? The bereaved parent who last week was telling Cindy Sheehan he loved her, and who this week set up a counter-protest site named after his son? [Here’s another photo of Gary Qualls and Cindy Sheehan in a moving embrace.]
    "Over the weekend, as the camp prepared for the arrival of the counter-demonstrators, a huge diesel pickup truck rumbled into camp with its nose menacingly pointed towards the tents. It sat for a while, and everyone waited to see what would happen. (…)

    This is from Miltary Families Speak Out - people with loved ones serving in the war zone- as the tide is turning and the truth comes out, 30-40 new families are joining MFSO everday.
    We received an e-mail from Dexter, an MFSO member from Maine whose son is in the National Guard. We asked if we could post it on our website. Below is his reply.
    You may post my letter.
    Thank you for your thoughts and, especially for your prayers. Ben is shaken, but we will not know until this is over (…)

  • The story of the White Rose inevitably makes people with a military mindset very uncomfortable

    The White Rose: A Lesson in Dissent
    Hans and Sophie Scholl were German teenagers in the 1930s. Like other young Germans, they enthusiastically joined the Hitler Youth. They believed that Adolf Hitler was leading Germany and the German people back to greatness.
    Their parents were not so enthusiastic. Their father—Robert Scholl—told his children that Hitler and the Nazis were leading Germany down a road of destruction. Later—in 1942—he would serve time in a Nazi prison for telling his (…)

    Bush says anti-war protests threaten to weaken the United States
    – http://www.canada.com/national/nati...
    Iraq like Vietnam? The speeches sound familiar...
    "To abandon this small and brave nation to its enemies, and to the terror that must follow, would be an unforgivable wrong," Johnson said. "To withdraw from one battlefield means only to prepare for the next." At that moment, only 400 American boys had died in the rice paddies.

  • Michel Chossudovsky and the Dogs of Reprisal
    24 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    As I walked through the living room, on my way outside to play with the incoming coax cables (on occasion I have to do this to get my broadband working), I passed my wife camped out before the television, watching a "debate" between FBI whistleblower Colleen Rowley and a loud, obnoxious, an interruptive Mark Williams who claimed, as I drifted past, that Saddam Hussein had "chemical weapons" (even Williams should know this was an obvious lie) and Rowley is a "traitor" because she opposes the (…)
