    1 comment

    The chasm separating the Bush administration’s version of events in Iraq and the actual reality of the occupation has, it appears, become so absurdly wide that even Republican supporters of the illegal war and occupation have begun to question the Bush administration’s inability to publicly face the disastrous truth. Conservative Republican Senator Chuck Hagel recently commented about the war, "It’s like they’re just making it up as they go along," adding that the White House is "completely (…)

    News Advisory:

    Rabbi Weiss continued, "Judaism and Zionism are extreme opposites."
    "According to the true Jewish belief, Jews are forbidden to create their own state before the coming of our Messiah. (Talmud, Tractate (…)

    I hope this is not too Inside Baseball for you, but I am truly hacked with what the bloggers call the MSM, or “mainstream media.” The New York Times and The Washington Post have both gone way out of their way to deny that the Downing Street Memos (it’s now plural) are news.
    Let me tell you something. Like many of you, during the entire lead-up to the war with Iraq, I thought the whole thing was a terrible idea. I bring this up not to prove how smart we are, but to emphasize that I followed (…)

  • Ordinary Fascism

    The Lord Chancellor told BBC News under new laws people “attacking the values of the West” and “glorifying the acts of suicide bombers” would be imprisoned for “long periods” and “deported wherever possible”, but no law could stop terrorism altogether.
    We always obeyed the law. Isn’t that what you do in America? Even if you don’t agree with a law personally, you still obey it. Otherwise life would be chaos. - Gertrude Scholtz-Klink, chief of the Women’s Bureau under Hitler explaining the (…)

    By William Fisher
    The U.S. Army general widely considered the ‘architect’ of abusive prisoner interrogation techniques at Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib and in Afghanistan used “creative” and “aggressive” tactics, but did not practice torture or violate law or Pentagon policy. Despite the recommendations of military investigators, Maj. Gen. Geoffrey C. Miller will not be reprimanded ? thus bringing to a close what could be the last of 15 separate investigations into detainee abuse.

  • What the Hell is Congress doing? It’s time to Sweep the House

    What the Hell is Congress doing? Government lying and corruption has been exposed like never before and Congress is still naming Post Offices! After the ground-breaking Downing Street Memo Hearing last month- Bush and Cheney should be under full investigation if not behind bars by now.
    Most DC Democrats won’t even talk about the memo...
    ... and those that do only go so far as to ask for an inquiry. The evidence is already public knowledge- we don’t need no stinkin’ inquiry, we need (…)

    "It’s saddam’s fault for the torture, he trained them...see!" - Bush apologist IRAQI security forces, set up by American and British troops, torture detainees by pulling out their fingernails, burning them with hot irons or giving them electric shocks, Iraqi officials say.
