“September 11, 2001, Independence Day for all Oppressed Peoples” Anonymous Graffiti sprayed on wall in Plaza Real, Barcelona, Spain, 2003
To understand the above mentioned quote in the context of the so-called “war on terror” one must rise above the incessant government/corporate media haze of all-encompassing propaganda that has permeated our society, causing us to become confused energies lost in the consuming darkness of (…)

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.

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 (…)

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 (…)

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 (…)

We are currently compiling a complete list of the U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq because of the lies told to the American people and supported by our Congress.

TO STAY A COURSE
By Peter Fredson

In the days of Yore, ships were made of wood and sea captains were made of iron resolve. Navigation depended upon maps, charts, instruments, depth-soundings, and reading the stars, sun, waves, sea birds, winds, clouds and many other factors. Before sailing out on the wide ocean a destination was chosen and a course was laid out to reach the destination. A helmsman took the rudder to follow a predetermined course. The ship’s compass was (…)
