After suffering 17 minutes of bobbling homilies, lies, and hand gestures, as if the president were talking in sign language to the deaf and dumb, asking for our patience in pursuing a criminally illegal war, one that so far has cost 2100 American lives, 200,000 Iraqi lives, $200 billion plus (another $80 billion to be asked for), patience is not what is needed. Rather it is Bush’s impeachment and that of his entire administration, now. This is a no-vote on his referendum-seeking screed. But (…)

So now, at last, the crisis is upon us. Now the cards are finally on the table, laid out so starkly that even the Big Media sycophants and Beltway bootlickers can no longer ignore them. Now the choice for the American Establishment is clear, and inescapable: do you hold for the Republic, or for autocracy?
There is no third way here, no other option, no wiggle room, no ambiguity. The much-belated exposure of George W. Bush’s warrantless spy program has forced the Bush-Cheney Regime to (…)

Sovereignty
By Peter Fredson
December 29, 2005
When I become confused by lies I often turn to my Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary that has been my companion since 1950. Today I read some articles published since 2004 about Iraqi Sovereignty put out by the Neocoms of the Bush Administration and the more I read the more I was confused.
The meaning to the Bush thugs of Sovereignty is similar to the meanings of Liberty, Democracy, Freedom, and Constitution. That is, those words mean (…)

In this issue of The Commoner we are beginning to clear a path (or maybe several paths) out of the dust emerging from the front line, and try to make sense of what is the reason for the smoke and sparks. We see a strange phenomenon occurring: what we practice is often not what we value and what we value is often not what we practice (and in saying this let us not forget that “practice” means many diverse things: work, shopping, eating, filling forms, writing, taking the train, watching the (…)

Burden on Those Yet to Come
Throughout human history certain patterns continue repeating themselves over and over again, becoming, if careful attention is paid to study them, a direct harbinger to what tomorrow’s cultures and societies will be like. The inevitability of what a future generation’s destiny will become is oftentimes discernable from the accumulated sins of the fathers that came before as well as those of the grandfathers that (…)

Michael P. Wright — Norman, Oklahoma, USA mpwright9@aol.com In May 2004, after his son Nick was decapitated in Iraq, Michael Berg told a very strange story to CNN to account for the fact that Nick’s University of Oklahoma computer password had come into the possession of Al Qaeda member Zacarias Moussaoui, who spent six months in Norman in 2001. In 2005 Moussaoui pled guilty to all six counts of an indictment charging him with terrorism. The elder Berg said that while his son (…)

2006 The Year The Chickenhawks will go home to roost by Cindy Sheehan Wed Dec 28, 2005 at 02:07:09 PM PDT
Since hot, hot Camp Casey in August, some amazing grass roots actions have taken place all over the country. People are starting to speak up and Congress has begun to take action against the criminal and neo-Fascist regime that tried to take over America.

KIRKUK, Iraq - Kurdish leaders have inserted more than 10,000 of their militia members into Iraqi army divisions in northern Iraq to lay the groundwork to swarm south, seize the oil-rich city of Kirkuk and possibly half of Mosul, Iraq’s third-largest city, and secure the borders of an independent Kurdistan.
Five days of interviews with Kurdish leaders and troops in the region suggest that U.S. plans to bring unity to Iraq before withdrawing American troops by training and (…)
