Many years ago the great real patriots of the American Revolution against the mind control fear of King George in the colonies was countered and beaten by simple mind freeing techniques - and one of the best is a message to your oppressor that you understand the message and DISAGREE with its INTENTED PURPOSE and have PURPOSE of YOUR OWN. Namely your own self determination. That willful and powerful message was probable best summurized in the flags that the early colonist flew in the face of (…)

“We’ve marched, held vigils, lobbied Congress, camped out at Bush’s ranch. We’ve even gone to jail. Now it’s time to do more,” says peace mom Cindy (…)

At least 57 million ignorant and/or uneducated or wealthy Americans...those who "voted" for Bush in 2004, don’t worry at all about the outcome of the Novermber primary elections. They are pretty confindent that Republican Congressmen will hold their respective offices, and therefore, the majority.
How can they be so sure? Simple. They know that, most likely, the various tricks and shenanigans which were in play in the ’04 Presidential election will be replayed this time around, and once (…)

On The Road With Impeachment Dave Lindorff Tuesday, June 27, 2006
Over this past week, I had a few experiences in the course of several book events for The Case for Impeachment which both illustrate the importance of this constitutionally important method of checking the actions of dangerous or criminal presidents, and the difficulty of doing so.
On Friday, I debated my Counterpunch editor, Jeff St. Clair, in a forum that was part of the International Socialist Organization conference at (…)

Is The FBI Entrapping Idiots? (& No, Timothy McVeigh Was No Idiot) By Ilana Mercer Wednesday, June 28, 2006 CNN reports that seven Miami-based men “concocted a plot to ‘kill all the devils we can,’ starting by blowing up Chicago’s Sears Tower, according to charges in a federal indictment revealed Friday.”
It transpires that this information was elicited by an “FBI operative posing as a member of the terrorist network.”
I watched the sister of one of the suspects enter “The (…)

Why Are Americans So Angry? Ron Paul Friday, June 30, 2006
I have been involved in politics for over 30 years and have never seen the American people so angry. It’s not unusual to sense a modest amount of outrage, but it seems the anger today is unusually intense and quite possibly worse than ever. It’s not easily explained, but I have some thoughts on this matter. Generally, anger and frustration among people are related to economic conditions; bread and butter issues. Yet today, (…)

Today more than any other time in history the hypocrisy of the money changers system can be seen simply - as The Great House of Deception divided against itself. These words spoken perhaps some two thousand plus years ago by a dissident Truth Seeking person ring true today when applied to the New World Order.
You see the framers of the New American Century (NWO), the architects of world money changing systems - the world banks and the empire of dogma mind control distribution of false (…)

(with apologies to the ghost of Hunter Thompson)
The "fear factor" was initiated immediately after 9/11 in America, and never faded. In fact, it’s stronger than ever right now.
First it was fear of the evil Taliban, then the dreaded Saddam Hussein and his "smoking nuclear gun and WMDs", the torture rooms and the threat to his neighbors, the world and especially the US of A...all B.S., of course.
Then came the clever color coding gimmic, always starting with Yellow (never below), then (…)
