The American values we hold most dear have been placed at serious risk by the unprecedented claims of the Bush Cabal to a truly breathtaking expansion of executive power.
The evidence now makes it hard to avoid the conclusion that George W. Bush has repeatedly and insistently broken the law and the corrupt Republican Congress has shirked its constitutional duty to hold him accountable.
I believe a president who breaks the law poses a threat to the very foundation of our democracy. As (…)

(San Francisco) Nine days after the start of the American president’s 2003 "shock and awe" uranium bombing campaign in Baghdad, an invisible radioactive uranium oxide gas cloud swept through Britain’s towns and countryside and throughout Europe.
Respected scientists reported on the unrevealed gas cloud after conducting research on specialized high volume air filters in England. Dr. Chris Busby and Saoirse Morgan stunned Europe in a Sunday Times of London article on Feb. 19, 2006. Their (…)

Depleted uranium weapons, and the untold misery they wreak on mankind, are taboo subjects in the mainstream media. This exclusive report should break the media embargo imposed on the American people.
Despite being a grossly under-reported subject in the mainstream, there is intense public interest in depleted uranium (DU) and the damage it inflicts on humankind and the environment.

Here in the UK we have a problem with Chavez. What is the problem? "He’s over there!"
(And we still have a problem with Americans being over here corps-wise, if not in person, but more on that anon)

Watch out Iraqis
our Army’s more loose
we still don’t want gays
or girls in men’s shoes.
But we now appeal to illegal types
who’ve recently crawled through
underground pipes.
We reach out to coke-heads and winos for sure

Did you notice, pal, today in the news?
the Army is now getting skinheads in crews?
Our proud military accepts White Supreme guys
militias and Nazis, yes they’re on the rise!
Truly the phrase, "Be all you can be" (…)

In celebration of the 4th of July there will be many speeches about the young people who “died for their country.” Let’s be honest about war. Those who gave their lives did not die for their country, as they were led to believe but for their government. The distinction between country and government is at the (…)
