Bush’s speech today at the National Endowment for Democracy was loaded with what author Mark Crispin Miller has observed as Bush’s pathological tendency for "projectivity."
"Projectors are those people who consistently attack others for the things they hate most in themselves. When Bush talks about Saddam Hussein, he’s talking about himself . . . What’s significant about Bush’s projectivity is that (…)

"Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor - with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it." - US General Douglas MacArthur (One of the most decorated soldiers in the history of the United States military)

Press Silence on Impeachment
Listen Now
The corporate media in the United States can hardly claim to fill a journalistic role, anymore. The first duty of a real newsperson is to ask questions. But the corporate press can’t bring itself to ask even the most obvious questions, including on issues that are important to a high proportion of the public. When we refer to the corporate media, we’re also talking about the major polling (…)

THE POSSIBLE IMPEACHMENT OF GEORGE W. BUSH
by Mark Kato
Not a single day passes without some writer calling for the impeachment of George W. Bush.

He knows how to take unfair advantage of a person or group, or some accidental circumstance, for his own benefit or advancement, in an organized, deliberate or systematic way. He does this by linking his name to some occurrence or symbol, then strongly suggests that he has done something heroic or beneficial which should be rewarded with votes, support, cash and accolades. (…)

Dear George,
First off, I am not going to address you as Mr. President because I believe you stole the elections in 2000 and especially in 2004. Your goons, your political operatives and whatever computer hackers were working for you made sure that the 2004 vote went in your (…)
