We have seen this (…)

The leaking of the videotape of hanging of Saddam and the dialogue that was exchanged between Saddam and his executioners, handpicked by Americans, and the subsequent planting of stories in mainstream media that Saddam’s hanging will be seen by Shia’s as a welcome sacrifice on one of the Holiest days of Islam was a deliberate act meant to create a backlash by Muslims and a Shia-Sunni conflict in the Muslim world.

Happy New Year all... here is some food for thought...
You have probably all heard the terms "Total System Integration" and "Total Informational Awareness" (TIA) but I suspect very few have any idea of what this really means and where it will end.
Ah, where to start, there are so many facets, so many angles, and you are so conditioned to NOT see... in fact, you have been carefully conditioned to be so biased that you are addicted to it and under current conditions legally insane. (…)

Now I want to be absolutely clear, what the President ordered in this case was a crime. Now we can debate whether he had a good or bad motivation, but it was a crime.

More than 50,000 telegrams poured in on Capitol Hill today, so many, Western Union was swamped. Most of them demanded impeaching Mr. Nixon.

Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats have no intention of impeaching Bush. What is wrong with this picture? What does this tell us about Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats? If they don’t hold the Bush administration accountable for their endless crimes against humanity, Pelosi and the Democrats are complicit in the madness and criminality that is being perpetrated by the Bush administration. It is the Democrats’ (not to mention the Republicans’, as well as all patriotic Americans’) ethical and (…)
