"Many private American households have exhausted their credit limits..The average debt service of a US household has reached a record of 14 percent of disposable income. Altogether the private debt of American households rose to an historic high of $1.7 trillion.. If US citizens put aside nine percent of their disposable income at the beginning of the 90s, the savings rate at the end of the decade was slightly above two percent..Very different signals are given to American consumers because no one knows the seirousness of the situation."
Bt corn has been associated with up to an 80% reduction in piglet birth rate on mid-western farms. The calving rate decreased by 20 to 30% when it was fed to the cows on one farm. On another farm the spontaneous abortion rate in the cows was very high when they were fed Bt and Round Up Ready GE corn. The Agricultural Minister from Denmark was informed of this negative effect of the Bt corn on pigs last week. Denmark is being pressured to take GE corn from the US. Denmark is willing to pay for the segregation of the corn and the companies say they won't do this.

Seven weeks later and with no vile vials in hand, Bush gave a speech Monday in Elizabeth, N.J., where he did not make a single reference to weapons of mass destruction. Instead, Bush chose to distract Americans from his Nixonian erasing of his justification for war by criticizing his critics as "revisionist historians."

<i>Genetically modified food - which can grow more quickly
than traditional crops and can be resistant to insects - has caused scant controversy in the United States, where people eat it every day. Almost 40 percent of all corn planted in this country in genetically modified.The Bush administration and agricultural businesses view the policy as simple protectionism because American companies, which dominate the biotechnology industry,would benefit most from lifting the ban. Without it, American companies would export about $300 billion more in corn each year than they do now, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation</i> <p>From the NY Times, June 19: "Talks between the United States and the European Union over opening up Europe to genetically modified foods broke down in Geneva today, the Bush administration announced, heightening trans-Atlantic tensions...Europe's resistance to modified crops received a political lift last week when a global treaty restricting them was approved"
The fact that almost all religions believe that nothing, not even a single space or a single entity, is capable of restricting God's existence is an obvious indication that sub-atomic particles are part of God.

"i don't have to fucking tell you anything!" that was the start of a two-hour experience.
Specialist Castillo said: "We're more angry at the generals who are making these decisions and who never hit the ground, and who don't get shot at or have to look at the bloody bodies and the burnt-out bodies, and the dead babies and all that kinda stuff." Sgt Quinones added: "Most of these soldiers are in their early twenties and late teens. They've seen, in less than a month, more than any man should see in a whole lifetime. It's time for us to go home."

It's not political...it's just fun...
A U.S. Department of Agriculture tradeshow of biotechnology and genetically engineered lifeforms is set to begin in Sacramento. As of this writing, less than half the WTO member countries had accepted the invitation to attend, showing the tepid support for the U.S. corporate agenda. Activists from around the country and the world are converging to add their voices of opposition, and I am among them.

A piece of artwork I have modified to portray my view of America. Only 10% of an iceberg is visable on the surface. The rest is hidden out of view down in the murky depths. This seems to lend itself nicely as an analogy for the United States. On the surface we are pristine and beautiful, seemingly peaceful. Yet underneath we hide the greed, imperialism and death of our capitalist regime.
US President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair have been accused of war crimes in Iraq under a fiercely contested Belgian law, the government here said.
Coalition launches campaign against International Paper
Duncan Hunter, chairman of the House of Representatives Armed Services Committee is worried that US forces are stretched thin, with some troops now in Iraq for nearly one year, and with no end in sight to the US military commitment.
One small victory, many more to go. I'm interested to see how Gordy Smith voted.
The US military says a soldier opened fire after demonstrators started throwing stones at a military convoy outside the former presidential compound which now houses the US-led military coalition running Iraq. The Iraqi soldiers were demanding unpaid wages.
In response to increasingly dire warnings that widespread use of antibiotics on U.S. farms is making the drugs less effective for treating people, the fast-food chain McDonald's today directed some meat suppliers to stop using antibiotic growth promoters altogether and encouraging others to cut back.

Last year the Afghan Government launched an effort to pay farmers compensation if they destroyed their crop.
But the scheme failed because members of the local government paid people to pose as farmers and claim the payouts. The officials then collected the payments from the bogus farmers, while the real farmers simply continued to grow opium.
an interesting inspiration for tactics...
The human right of housing is subverted by the right of speculation.
When speculation is unbridled, sharks are protected against the sardines. This article by the Swiss emeritus professor Arnold Kunzli is translated from the German in: Neue Wege.
There's nothing like the direct approach. After Bush complained of "revisionist historians" telling the truth about Iraq, he now revises science that disagrees with his oil driven policies by simply taking a pair of scissors and cutting out the parts he doesn't like.
