DELAND — The aftermath of the general election in Volusia County grew more tangled Tuesday, as a local voting rights advocate sued to throw out the results.
The suit, filed by DeLeon Springs resident Susan Pynchon, targets the race for supervisor of elections, alleging that former County Councilwoman Ann McFall’s victory was based on "inadequate and incomplete information regarding election results."
While the suit focuses on the most prominent countywide race, it asks (…)

Is Gulf War syndrome - possibly caused by Pentagon ammunition - taking its toll on G.I.’s in Iraq?

When he started to get sick, Staff Sergeant Raymond Ramos’s first instinct was to fight. "I had joint pains, muscle aches, chronic fatigue, but I tried to exercise it out," he says. "I was going for runs, working out. But I never got any better. The headaches were getting more frequent and sometimes lasted all day. I was losing a lot of weight. My overall physical demeanor was (…)

We saw Ukrainian presidential election coverage on CNN last night. It was surreal They were saying that in the Ukraine elections aren’t transparent. ’Scuse me?
This, after CNN said they weren’t interested in filming 59 orange-tagged records from Volusia, Florida showing that our elections have not been at all transparent, and are missing one-third of the key documents entirely. Psst. Don’t look here. Look there.

Bellaciao chats: conversation with Manu Chao in french
As an offspring of the French alternative scene, Manu Chao has remained faithful to his first ideals, regardless of the huge success he has met as a solo artist. Shunning the ‘star system’, the anti-globalisation activist does not hesitate to mix politics with music, drawing his inspiration from his Spanish origins and his relentless globetrotting.
Manu Chao - singer, songwriter, musician and globetrotter extraordinaire - has (…)

Most Americans by now have heard about the election 2004 voting problems, but odds are it’s been from mainstream media sources like the NY Times, Fox News or NPR debunking the internet researchers as ’tin-foil hat conspiracy theorists’. In fact, we are simply patriotic Americans doing the job that the corporate media is failing to do. One thing is for sure, millions of Americans do not accept the whitewash the media is giving us, and we refuse to roll over and play dead at Kerry’s request. (…)

Found on the internet. A message from the former Hitler Reich’s-marshal Herman
Göring, who was one of the major mindset during the dark German period between
1933-1945.

The Washington Post and other leading American newspapers are up in arms about the legitimacy of a presidential election where exit polls showed the challenger winning but where the incumbent party came out on top, amid complaints about heavy-handed election-day tactics and possibly rigged vote tallies.
In a lead editorial, the Post cited the divergent exit polls, along with voter claims about ballot irregularities, as prime reasons for overturning the official results. For its part, the (…)

This is an update of BlackBoxVoting’s investigation of vote fraud in Florida. There is a distinct pattern of stonewalling coming from the elections officials. Combine this non-cooperation with many ’irregularities’ and flat out lies and it certainly appears that they are hiding something. Calling all media outlets- report this now or lose all credibility- are you real journalists or bush cronies?

Iran has nukes - they really really do! Scout’s honor! Cross my heart and hope to die!
by Justin Raimondo
We live in a recurring nightmare. That’s the only conclusion one can draw from today’s headlines, which, as we draw closer to a confrontation with Iran, bear an eerie resemblance to yesterday’s breaking news. It seems like only yesterday that a Middle Eastern exile group – the Iraqi National Congress (INC) – was feeding the U.S. government "intelligence" that drew a fearsome portrait (…)

Last week, the Washington Post ran a “special advertising supplement” targeted to the black community that said gay people are unworthy of the equal rights that African Americans now enjoy. The supplement was in the guise of a publication called, “Both Sides Magazine”, although it wasn’t a true magazine and didn’t present both sides.
This disgraceful propaganda - clearly backed by Focus on the Family’s James Dobson - truly broke my heart. “Both Sides” tried to incite anger (…)
