"I would rather have my ignorance than another man’s knowledge,because I’ve got so much more of it"......Mark Twain ********************************** I grew up in America’s bland and comfortable 50s. To be honest neither I nor my compatriots knew a damned thing about what was going on in the world. We didn’t know there was a war in Indo-China, or Korea, or Spanish Sahara. We didn’t know what was happening in our own government, were totally unaware of drugs and gangs and crime. Even sex was (…)

16 September 2006Bush’s Bullying, Erratic Behavior, Spurs More GOP Defections By Doug Thompson September 15, 2006 6:51 AM
As Republicans continue to distance themselves from the political suicide of George W. Bush’s policies and his failed war in Iraq, some are also privately expressing doubts about his mental stability, saying the President’s erratic actions show a man increasingly out of control.
Even Bush’s former Secretary of State, Colin Powell, tells confidants he feels the President has "buckled (…) -
The Issue Is Not National Security But Image Security
16 September 2006The Issue Is Not National Security But Image Security By Greg Palast September 14, 2006 Forget the orange suit. Exxon Mobil Corporation, which admits it was behind the criminal complaint brought by Homeland Security against me and television producer Matt Pascarella, has informed me that the oil company will no longer push charges that Pascarella and I threatened "critical infrastructure."
The allegedly criminal act, which put us on the wrong side of post-9/11 anti-terror law, was our (…) -

16 September 20069th Circuit: Laptops May Be Subject To Customs Inspections After Overseas Trips By Steve Seidenberg Friday, September 15, 2006 With a conviction for online child exploitation, Stuart Romm is hardly a sympathetic advocate for computer privacy.
Still, what happened to Romm when he crossed the border into the United States worries some legal experts. The laptop computer that he carried with him was intensively searched by customs officials. On July 24, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (…) -

16 September 2006Bush Push In Congress A Sign Of Fear And Weakness Will This GOP-Controlled Congress Protect Him? By David Lindorff September 15, 2006 The Bush administration’s full-court press against the Constitution is on, with the president getting closer to Senate, and possibly full Congressional approval of his warrantless spying program by the National Security Agency, and with a lobbying campaign on to get his program for kangaroo courts and life-time detention without trial for terror "war" (…)

The Decline Of The American Empire
16 September 2006The Decline Of The American Empire By John Chuckman September 15, 2006 The rise now of China, Japan, Europe, and others-India, Korea, and to some extent Russia and Brazil-means the United States must be relatively diminished on the world stage, much as an only child whose mother just gave birth to quintuplets.
The United States is losing its capacity as supplier of many useful things to the world. This role is being seized by China and others. The American working class, which briefly (…) -

16 September 2006Imperialism 101 - The US Addiction to War, Mayhem and Madness - Part I - by Stephen Lendman
The US-led aggression in the Middle East and the three failed attempts to oust Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez since 2002 (with a fourth now planned and likely to be implemented soon) are just the latest examples of this country’s imperial agenda and the "new world order" it has in mind. The way this country now engages throughout the world isn’t much different than what it’s done close to home and (…) -
OPERATION WHATCHAMA CALL IT!
16 September 2006The Towers were not hollow.
WTC 7 was never struck by an aircraft, the damage was to the south side of the building, and that is the direction it should have fallen.
The Murrah Building in Oklahoma City was blown virtually in half, yet remained standing.

What happened to the photos taken by DKoutsoubis and DSharp at the five scrap yards of the steel from the site? Why haven’t they been published?
Also, do some research on...

16 September 2006The US must accept the International Court of Justice in The Hague!!!
To accept the International Court of Justice in The Hague ( http://www.icj-cij.org ) is the only way to prevent future US-administrations from committing war crimes all over the world to spread violently their false "western democratic values".
THE GAME IS OVER FOR THE NATIONAL INSECURITY AGENCY AND ALL OTHER INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS TO UNDERMINE GLOBAL DEMOCRACIES!!!
Be aware of these government criminals after (…)
