BUSH OUTSOURCES OUR NATION
By Peter Fredson
February 21, 2006
I have watched the disastrous regime of George W. Bush since his brother Jeb gave him the election in Florida by the hanging chads. I followed him through the partisan Supreme Court handing him the presidency. I watched Bush before the after the Twin Towers disaster, and saw nothing to admire. He made some speeches and put his arm around a fireman and his entire propaganda team went wild with enthusiasm. Since that time he (…)

The White Rose: A Lesson in Dissent
http://www.fff.org/freedom/0196a.asp
Now, it just so happens that of all the articles I have written for the past 17 years, “The White Rose” is my favorite. It details the efforts of Hans and Sophie Scholl, who were brother and sister, to oppose their own government - the Nazi government - in the midst of World War II. The essay was later reprinted in a book of readings for high school students on the Holocaust. While in Munich a few years ago, I (…)

Dr. John Pace drops a bombshell that translates as a whisper through obscure Maltese paper
Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | February 21 2006
Proving that Abu Ghraib and Gitmo are the tip of the iceberg, the outgoing UN human rights chief dropped a bombshell when he told an obscure Maltese newspaper that as many as a thousand detainees a month are being tortured to death in Iraq.
Dr. John Pace told the obscure Times of Malta newspaper,
"The Baghdad morgue received 1,100 bodies (…)

It’s one of those times when an innocuous comment in an unrelated news report triggers a revelation. In the article at there is the following paragraph:
To make the situation worse, a private security company called ICTS, owned by an Israeli, Ezra Harel, and registered in the Netherlands, was employed at Charles de Gaulle airport to screen passengers boarding US planes. Most of its personnel are ex-Shin Bet officers. The company covers security at Boston’s Logan airport, where the (…)

We can stop a "preemptive" nuclear strike by Jorge Hirsch
Whether the U.S. will use nuclear weapons against Iran if a military confrontation erupts is in the hands of a single person, President Bush, as stated in NSC 30 from 1948: "the decision as to the employment of atomic weapons in the event of war is to be made by the Chief Executive when he considers such decision to be required." Bush will certainly not ask Congress nor the public permission once hostilities start. Whether or not (…)

Every member of Congress, no matter what their stance on the war in Iraq, should back U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich’s Resolution of Inquiry demanding all documents pertaining to contracts that the U.S. government has signed with the intent to "sell" the war.
Public relations companies such as the Rendon Group and the Lincoln Group were hired by the administration, and paid tens of millions of dollars from taxpayer funds, to develop and implement a marketing campaign to persuade the American (…)

Before the US House of Representatives, February 16, 2006
Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to this very dangerous legislation. My colleagues would do well to understand that this legislation is leading us toward war against Iran.
Those reading this bill may find themselves feeling a sense of déjà vu. In many cases one can just substitute "Iraq" for "Iran" in this bill and we could be back in the pre-2003 run up to war with Iraq. And the logic of this current push for war is much (…)

Bill Benson is a former revenue collector for the State of Illinois. Back in 1984, Benson was commissioned to conduct an investigation into the ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Benson traveled to all 48 states which had been admitted to the Union at the time of the ratification of this amendment in 1913. He spent close to a year in the bowels of these state archives collecting official documents. (…)

Questioning the War on Terror
For the last five years and five months since September 11th, we have been told by our government that Terrorists threaten us on every side, that they ’hate our freedoms’, hate us, and want to kill us because they are mad with religious fervor. Not a day goes by when we are not reminded of the ’growing and dangerous threat to our security’ by the President, the vice President, Rumsfeld, Rice, various F.B.I., C.I.A., NSA, ’spy guys’, all their (…)

The Lone Gunman of Armstrong Ranch, the 21st Century’s answer to Jock and JR. Ewing’s Southfork Ranch of the TV hit "Dallas", has floated yet another hot air balloon to an apparently easily duped Evan Thomas of Newsweek. Pawning off yet more pulp fiction for Big Dick , Thomas cites "close Cheney aides" pawning off a tale in which the Veep and his family started taking the anti-anthrax drug Cipro a few weeks after 9/11 - when a suspicious missive showed up in the Vice (…)
