She has amnesia?? how convenient!
In the 1998 film "Wag the Dog," political operatives employ special editing techniques to create phony footage that will engender public sympathy for a manufactured war. Now we find that in 2003 the real-life Pentagon's ability and willingness to manipulate the facts make Hollywood's story lines look tame.
Lars spewed lies and misinformation about dissent and civil disobediance to Lake Oswego high school kids last night at a debate on the legitimacy of protest.

Why did Operation Iraqi Freedom [sic] provoke such a massive anti-war outcry? Hold on, that's not the question I'd really like to ask. Let me rephrase: Why did Operation Iraqi Freedom [sic] provoke so much more protest than 78 days of U.S./NATO bombing over Yugoslavia in 1999?
An attempt to try Tommy Franks for war crimes in a Belgian court has outraged the US
Abu Abbas, the former head of a Palestinian terrorist group who was captured in Iraq on April 15, is infamous for masterminding the 1985 hijacking of the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro. But there are probably few who remember why Abbas's terrorists held the ship and its 400-plus passengers hostage for two days.
As with the previously posted article on GPS tracking devices, now small enough to be implanted like a pacemaker, this new technology for identifying people by their walk brings us one step closer to a technological tyranny, an Orwellian nightmare where every individual can be monitored at every moment. The Total Information Awareness system now in development, led by John Poindexter of all people, is an important part of the coming system. The main question for us all to ask is "Do we trust our government with this much power?" If you like George Bush, then ask yourself if you would trust Clinton with it. Time is short, my friends.
Let's hope Portland picks up where Cincinnati left off
Allowing the police to plant such devices on suspects without a warrant troubles many. "Do we really want the ability to track everybody all the time, without any suspicion, or without probable cause?" asked a lawyer, Doug Klunder, in The Seattle Post-Intelligencer last week. "How close are we to Big Brother?" On Tuesday, the Washington Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether a warrant should be required to secretly track a person's movements using a G.P.S. device.

The London Daily Telegraph's take on recent bombing series is that Bush regime has been so so focused on Iraq that it shunted aside what it insisted was its

Talk to any of your acquaintances, right, left, or center, about the DU shells and bombs. Our troops are breathing the DU dust from them right now in Iraq. Then tell them in a quiet steady voice "There is no treatment. This a death sentence for our troops serving our country. This ain't right. Help me change it."2 Sign them up, make a list, send the list to me.
This is going to be the 2nd meeting of the Sexual Violence Support and ACTION Network that is still being put together.The focus of this one is going to be taking ACTION on ideas that were brought up at the last meeting.

![]() If passed, the McInnis/Walden bill would cut the heart out of the National Environmental Protection Act -- America's Magna Carta of environmental protection -- by eliminating citizen input regarding the management of public lands and by interfering with our independent judiciary. Worse, the "Healthy Forests Restoration Act" does nothing to protect people and communities at risk from forest fire. It serves only to harm our national forests, to undermine our environmental laws and the judicial process, and to provide new subsidies and unnecessary logging opportunities to the timber industry.

Here are your choices for the 2004 Election A). Bloodthristy Warmonger B). Bloodthristy Warmgoner Lite. I know I am so excited about the 2004 elections and the opportunity to choose between such great and humanitarian political candidates--NOT!
"There are other more liberal candidates who are given even less of a chance of winning the nomination--Rev. Al Sharpton, for example, and Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), though he has yet to really answer for his years of supporting the anti-abortionists. But these "dark horse" candidates play an important role for the Democrats--in mobilizing the party's liberal base during the primaries, and then delivering that vote to whichever more conservative candidate wins the nomination."

I remember someone telling me that Bechtel built a chemical weapons factory in Iraq in the late 80's. I haven't been able to find any story like this on the web.
It is strongly suspected that Rwanda and Uganda have fanned the flames of a centuries old rivalry that arises more from the conflict between pastoral and ranching communities than from ethnicity. The two countries are accused of exploiting the natural resources of DRC in the shadow of the ethnic battles.
"News coverage of the Madrid discovery has been virtually nonexistent in this country. The news broke quietly on Feb 29, 2000 with a story that ran once on the UPI wire about the Nature Medicine article."
Raymond Cushing is a journalist, musician and filmmaker. This article was named by Project Censored as a "top Censored Story of 2000" and was reprinted in The Rearguard, May 9, 2003.
In fact, CATIC -- touted as a national model for intelligence sharing and a centerpiece of Gov. Gray Davis and Attorney General Bill Lockyer's 2002 re-election bids -- has quietly gathered and analyzed information on activists of various stripes almost since its creation.
"They've done it since Day One," said a Bay Area counterterrorism official. Mark Schlosberg, director of police policy practices for the ACLU-Northern California, called Van Winkle's remarks "just shocking. "First of all, it's disturbing that protest information is being gathered and distributed out of a counterterrorism center," he said. "But to equate protesting against a war with terrorist activity, if in fact that's what's being done, is contrary to American values. And I would hope there are guidelines in place to prevent that being done."

One of the greatest wonders of civilisation, and probably the world's most ancient structure - the Sumerian city of Ur in southern Iraq - has been vandalised by American soldiers and airmen, according to aid workers in the area.
Walls have been damaged by spray-painted graffiti, mostly patriotic or other slogans, and regimental mottos. Other reports by groups who cannot be named for fear of losing access to medical patients being treated on the base say there has been widespread stealing of clay bricks baked to build and restore the structures at Ur.
"Democracy, the modern world's holy cow, is in crisis ... every kind of outrage is being committed in the name of democracy. It has become little more than a hollow word, a pretty shell, emptied of all content or meaning," she said. "Democracy is the Free World's whore, willing to dress up, dress down, willing to satisfy a whole range of tastes, available to be used and abused at will."
Free elections, a free press and an independent judiciary mean little when the free market means they are on sale to the highest bidder, she said.
