John Kerry announced Thursday that he intends to present Congress with The Downing Street Memo, reported by the London Times 1 May 2005. As reported by NewsMax, the memo purports to include minutes from a July 2002 meeting with Tony Blair, in which Blair ostensibly said that President Bush’s Administration “fixed” intelligence on Iraq in order to justify the Iraqi war. In an interview with the Standard Times, Kerry said: "It’s amazing to me the way it escaped major media discussion. It’s not (…)

Let’s consider an item from the news of about two weeks ago:
A British citizen leaked a memo to London’s Sunday Times. The memo was of the written account of a meeting that a man named Richard Dearlove had with the Bush administration in July 2002. Dearlove was the head of the England’s MI-6, the equivalent of the CIA. On July 23, 2002, Dearlove briefed Tony Blair about the meeting. He said that Bush was determined to attack Iraq. He said that Bush knew that U.S. intelligence had no (…)

Sick Strategies For Senseless Slaughter
The murderous fools are not trying to end the war; they’re trying to keep it going as long as they can

The cat is out of the bag now.
It happened quite by accident, as most revelations do. And it is seen by most of the world as the most revolting of the American/Israeli atrocities in the past few years, although it’s hard to prioritize that claim because of the level and frequency of barbaric acts (…)

I’m Eînte. I’m french. I usually post often in the french section of Bellaciao. But if I’m writing here, that’s because I wanted to suggest to organise ourselves to make a big european demonstration in every countries of Europe, the same day, against the EU’s authoritarianism and for the social progress.

A RUEFUL LOOK AT GULLIBILITY
By Peter Fredson
There are many ways by which people learn the ways of the world. Experience is the prime teacher, but we also learn from other people. They can tell us about the hazards of life from fanged animals, smoking, taking drugs, imbibing alcohol, indulging in unprotected sex, speeding automobiles, smooth talking salespeople, scam artists, firearms, pedophiles, telemarketers, overindulging, bar room brawls, credit cards, and a host of other (…)

Just three days later, fired by the courage of their French cousins to the south, the Dutch people rallied to the standard and put to flight (…)

And there is no peace. There is no security.
After the Six-Day War, we could have achieved peace. We could have given back the conquered territories to the Palestinian people and enabled them to set up their state there.
But the craving for territory made us crazy. Instead of choosing peace and security, we chose settlements.
The occupation has exacted a terrible price from both peoples: human, social, moral, political and economic.
ENOUGH!

NEW BEDFORD — Sen. John F. Kerry yesterday called on Americans to be more aware of the "bait and switch" Iraq war and the "hollowing out" of the Army in the pursuit of a mistaken policy.
In a swing through SouthCoast, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee attacked the priorities of the Republican Party and President Bush, elaborating on what they are sacrificing — health care for children, infrastructure, Social Security — in the pursuit of tax cuts.
"The Holy Grail of the Republican (…)
