On Oct. 5, 2004, that was the question posed to presidential candidate David Cobb when asked by Joshua Frank of dissedent voice. Contained within a review by the AP, you will find the story(one of few) of Libertarian AND Green party presidential candidates affirming this question in St. Louis Oct. 8, 2004, when crossing police barricades at the debate.
David Cobb had this to say from an alternate report from Progress.org. "The real crime is the corporate hijacking of our democracy. The (…)

What bullshit this is. Remember how the "missionaries" helped genicide the indigenous, then the white wives dressed up indigenous women and children in hideous western garb, slapped the shit out of them so they would not speak their own language and put them in bording schools which taught them to be "good xtians"...this will be the "modern" version of the christian/capitalist/demodictatorship of Iraq by the capitalist wives. Maybe Ann Coulter will go over there and get beheaded!

"The significance of the disengagement plan is the freezing of the peace process," Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s senior adviser Dov Weisglass has told Haaretz.
"And when you freeze that process, you prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state, and you prevent a discussion on the refugees, the borders and Jerusalem. Effectively, this whole package called the Palestinian state, with all that it entails, has been removed indefinitely from our agenda. And all this with (…)

It’s a sad sickness these days,
The thousands and thousands of messages,
A never ending litany of fear and fire,
The flames of the Beast must be stamped out,
And I’m hopping upon e-mail after e-mail,
Dancing like a clown in too-small shoes.
In every place I look the Beast seems to be raging.
Slowly I’m coming to realize,
Some subtle understanding of change behind my eyes,
In the analysis of near poetic standstill,
I’ve come to a state of crisis,
Barely able to lift my hand to (…)

By Stewart Acuff, National AFL-CIO Organizing Director "Driven by these provocations and frustrations, there is the danger that America may be tempted to exert all the terrible power she possesses to compel history to conform to her own illusions. The extreme, but by no means the only expression, would be the so-called preventive war." "Such historians must have learned that virtue has never been defined by national or regional boundaries, and that morality and rectitude are not the (…)

"The FBI issued an order to Rackspace in the US (Indymedia’s provider with offices
in the US and London) to remove physically one of our servers. The order was
so short term that Rackspace had to give away our hard drives in the UK. The
servers hosted numerous local IMCs. If you find a site is down: that might be
the reason"
The servers "ahimsa 2" have the following Indymedias: Nantes, Belgrade,
Liege, Oost-Vlaanderen, Andorra, Euskalherria, Lille, Nice, the U.K., Poland,

A book published in France says the US regularly monitored French President Jacques Chirac’s phone calls.
The book, which charts the breakdown of the leaders’ relationship in the run-up to the Iraq war, says several sources reported the surveillance.
The US told a senior French military official the French-US relationship at a personal level was "irreparable".
The book, Chirac contre Bush - l’autre guerre (Chirac versus Bush - the other war), comes out on Wednesday.

There must first be a world leader that inspires honesty, confidence, and respect, not only in the county he leads, but in himself first and foremost. For many years American set a standard the world followed. This is not the case today under the present leadership. Not sure who made the following statement “Before one can lead, they must first learn how to follow” I agree 100% with the statement. A look back into our history shows that without any preference toward either political party (…)

During Tuesday’s Vice Presidential debate, Dick Cheney said defended his tenure as Halliburton’s CEO when Sen.

Cheney responded to Edwards’ criticism by saying “the reason they keep mentioning Halliburton is because they’re trying to throw up a (…)
