SOTU 2006 REVISITED
By Peter Fredson
February 3, 2006
I have looked at over 100 blogs on the SOTU 2006 of Bush, all varieties. The Right-Wing responses made me rub my eyes in disbelief of the huge gap between their assessment and mine. “Noble solutions”, “Brilliant Recovery”, “Visionary”, “Strong and Determined”, “Regaining Initiative”, and “Great Speech” were some of the adulatory sycophant applause.
"Bush’s Great Leadership Ability made headlines.
I decided to get another look (…)

The whole Iran mess has been discussed to death, but in the end it appears very likely that the dazed and gullible American public, through media distortion and pure political propaganda, are being set up for the Bushwhacko’s ARMAGEDDON scenario.
They haven’t got it all figured out yet, but generally devoutly hope that when Iran is taken to the woodshed (read UN), they will respond by disobeying the I.A.E.A. and proceeding with uranium enrichment big time. There can be no doubt that the (…)

Dear UN Secretary General
I am writing to you asking you to act, according to your responsibilities, to stop the waves of insults and sarcasms about the Prophet Mohamed that are appearing in European media under the slogan of “ freedom of expression”. We all know that freedom must extend freely until it must stop where and when it offends other people. The insulting cartoon images published by the Danish newspaper Julland Posten and republished by other Swedish and recently by the France (…)

9/11 Backlash Comes From Hollywood, Not Government
Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | February 3 2006
The 9/11 movement has been lax in not anticipating the direction from which their most vociferous flak will be thrown. It’s not government appointed commissions, politicians or Popular Mechanic debunking spreads.
The real counter-backlash is coming from TV movies and big screen blockbusters, serving up a diet of spoon fed propaganda that reinforces the official version of events. (…)

What are we to make of the "furore" surrounding the publishing of anti-Islam cartoons by Dutch and French daily papers? The intent seems clear enough - to portray Islam, and therefore all Muslims as fanatic terrorists, and to provoke Muslim groups to confirm for the world that this portrayal is accurate - which is exactly what has happened. Flag and effigy burning has ensued in Pakistan, Indonesia, and the Palestine territories. In Iran, hundreds of (…)

There is little down that an orchestrated stand down order was issued to NORAD by the highest levels of the US federal government.
Because such a revelation wil never be transmitted via the mainstream media , it is left to the blogs to correct the official story of 9/11 -retailed by the 9/11 Cupcake Commission and their fellow establishment hacks in the big media.
To that end we have examined the activitivities of DicK Cheney and his underling George W. Bush.
This brief study leads (…)

Hi All, Even though this story appeared two weeks ago, it has been censored by the M.S.M. and even DemocracyNow!
I called D.N! twice and spoke to Tomiko. She said they had passed on the info. to the producers and maybe they would run it...but so far, NOTHING!
I even called N.P.R. and spoke with the ombudsman, but, still NOTHING!
So if we could ALL call, well then maybe they’d run it...so.

Thanks to all at D.U. for being here! (…)

No to nuclear reactor EPR , Yes to energy alternatives Demonstration in Cherbourg in april 15th and 16th, 2006
Despite a huge nuclear overcapacity and even though it is becoming urgent to develop a new energy consumption management and invest in renewable energy, the French Government has asked EDF to build a new nuclear reactor, EPR (European Pressurized Reactor), in Flamanville (Manche/ Normandy). The (…)

That President Bush is a big fan of elections should surprise no one. He’s won a lot of them.
But his simplistic equation — elections = freedom = democracy = peace — has been running into a bit of trouble lately.
The president hyped the deeply flawed presidential and parliamentary elections in Egypt as steps toward democracy. But the result was a dramatic rise in votes for the outlawed Islamic brotherhood and Mubarak’s principal contender for the top job sent to jail. (…)

Across the country men and women have been jailed, not for committing a crime, but rather for making a conscious choice to live by their moral principles adhering to the laws of a higher authority. They are jailed because those who believe themselves to be in positions of authority are frightened by the truth of their stand and the strength of their convictions.
Who are these people of “authority”? They are people who have been elected to serve the citizens of our (…)
