We feel that we can’t wait any longer to do something. We hope that you and/or your organisation will sign this letter, giving (…)

Election 2004: Americans Endorse War, Religious Fanaticism And State Terrorism
“Speaking the Truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act.” George Orwell

11/04/04 "ICH" — The childish charade of this so-called ‘free’ election in the US has finally come to an end. This ‘free’ election was in fact not ‘free’ at all, when you consider that it offered a limited ‘choice’ of only two candidates. This fact alone shows that the US is already very close to a (…)

Right now there is no hard proof, but the circumstantial evidence is a mile high. Looking at all of these ’irregularities’ it’s hard to imagine how one could conclude that this election was clean.
1. There were complaints in several states about the touchscreen voting machines not working properly.
Roberta Harvey, 57, of Clearwater, Fla., said she had tried at least a half dozen times to select Kerry-Edwards when she voted Tuesday at Northwood Presbyterian Church.
After 10 minutes (…)

Does the death of an Arab weigh the same as that of a US or Israeli citizen? The Israeli army, with utter impunity, has killed more unarmed Palestinian civilians since September 2000 than the number of people who died on September 11, 2001. In conducting 238 extrajudicial executions the army has also killed 186 bystanders (including 26 women and 39 children). Two thirds of the 621 children (two thirds under 15 years) killed at checkpoints, in the street, on the way to (…)

Kerry Won. Here are the Facts.
Thursday, November 4, 2004
Bush won Ohio by 136,483 votes. Typically in the United States, about 3 percent of votes cast are voided-known as “spoilage” in election jargon-because the ballots cast are inconclusive. Drawing on what happened in Florida and studies of elections past, Palast argues that if Ohio’s discarded ballots were counted, Kerry would have won the state. Today, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports there are a total of 247,672 votes not (…)

They found, to their surprise, that the machines indicated that they voted for one candidate when they had voted for another. When voters tried to correct the problem, the machine often made the same error several times. While in most cases the (…)

American Scientist — Although no one explanation for the origin of AIDS has been universally accepted, four rival theories provide some important lessons.
Shortly after the 1983 discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the pathogen responsible for AIDS, investigators became aware of a strangely similar immune deficiency disease afflicting Asian monkeys (macaques) held in captivity in various U.S. research labs. Soon, virologists identified (…)
