I had the unique opportunity to interview five US military servicemen who just got back from Iraq, or in the case of two men, corresponded with their wives so that I could ask questions of these soldiers by mail. When the two I corresponded with came back just last week, I was able to complete the interviews I started several months ago with some new details on how the war is actually going.
Continuing the purge of her office staff, Broward County Elections Supervisor Miriam Oliphant on Wednesday fired the clerk who tipped state prosecutors to the location of hundreds of absentee ballots that were never counted in the September 2002 primary.
Robert Adams said Oliphant gave him no explanation as she ordered him to choose between being fired or quitting. His dismissal caps a six-week shakeup by Oliphant that has included the forced departures of her top deputy, chief financial officer, absentee ballot supervisor and pollworker supervisor.

The intimidation in this country that's been whipped up by this official fear and warmongering has been far more effective than any Patriot Act in whittling away our civil liberties.

911review.org is intended as a review of all of the current 9/11 topics and research, and is aimed at people who know nothing about what really happened on that fateful day.
The structure of the web site leads you down through overview summaries to detailed reviews of the major topics, and finally it links to an on-line version of the 9/11 Encyclopedia from globalfreepress.com.

A series of letters to hometown newspapers, purportedly written by U.S. soldiers in Iraq, contain identical language, according to the Gannett News Service. The letters praise the U.S. effort to rebuild the war-torn Mideast nation.
The oregon Spotlight is a one man organization ran by Steven M. Stroud. This paper uses published information to demonstrate holes in the directors past, his uses of lies and deception, his alliance with racists skinheads (et. al.), and his attack on anti-hate groups and activists. While posing as a "group" that espouses the ideas of Dr. Martin Luther King, the OS has an agenda that is twisted out of proportion and is used to gain photo-ops for Stroud. All works are cited, however, Stroud has removed all linked material that were on his dicussion board a few days after this work was published last year.
Professor of Economics and International Affairs at Princeton University, and award winning NY Times columnist Paul Krugman spoke to a packed house at the First Unitarian Church Saturday evening, October 11, 2003.

Plagued by authoritarian leftists, nearly all critical coverage of WTO activities is founded on a bemoaning of the loss of nation state soveriegnty. While I can think of anti-authoritarian critiques of the WTO until I'm blue in the face, can anyone else find clear examples of the WTO doing something nasty that DOESN'T just provide a picture of a poor benevolent government having it's wonderful dolphin-safe policies overridden? Know what I mean?
Aagh! And I don't want to hear the goddamned word democracy either!

When you've gotta go, you've gotta go. But if you've gotta go in a public park or MAX station, you're frequently . . . literally . . . sh*t out of luck.
Mayoral elections in Colombia have once again resulted in violence and death.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez urged Latin Americans on Saturday not to celebrate Columbus Day, saying the 1492 discovery of the Americas triggered a 150-year "genocide" of native Indians by foreign conquerors who behaved "worse than Hitler".
"Christopher Columbus was the spearhead of the biggest invasion and genocide ever seen in the history of humanity," the populist president told a meeting in Caracas of representatives of Indian peoples from across the continent. Columbus Day on Oct. 12 is celebrated as a holiday in the United States and several Latin American nations, but Chavez said it should be remembered as the "Day of Indian Resistance."
Don't look now...John Ashcroft's DOJ is expanding its take-no-prisoners assault on the BIll of Rights with a new tactic: Lawsuits attempting to criminalize nonprofit, activist NGOs for acts of civil disobedience committed by their members. This time, they're not using the old "conspiracy" ploy, which is notoriously difficult to prove, but instead, obscure laws that have been on the books for years but rarely enforced. And in the process, the plan is to strip the group of any right to trial by jury...
How the ideology of genocide, with all its internal contradictions, can be found to be expressed in commonly accepted formulations of free market capitalist ideology.
The Kosovo war in the Balkans was peddled as a war against genocide, but this ignores the underlying economic reasons (IMF restructuring) the led to the conflict.
An examination of the ideology of genocide, followed by a discussion of the only logical alternative, Idealistic Moralism, as opposed to the 'pragmatism' embedded in genocidal thinking.

![]() A switch to euro invoicing would not affect the long-term price of oil but it could encourage Middle Eastern exporters to follow suit and have a powerful effect on market psychology at a time when the dollar is already under intense pressure. Russia boasts the world's biggest natural gas reserves and is the number two oil exporter after Saudi Arabia.
Venezuelan intelligence sources have informed VHeadline.com
that a very much heightened state of security alert is being maintained this weekend following multiple indications that a USA-CIA initiative is about to be launched against the government of President Hugo Chavez Frias but that the Venezuelan Armed Forces (FAN) believe they will, nevertheless, be able to contain an eventual threat to Venezuela's constitutional rule.
Rush Limbaugh's addiction to the drug OxyContin is not uncommon. As much as 30 percent of the criminal drug problem in America involves the misuse of drugs that are legal -- it's called drug diversion.
Militarism and arrogance of power threaten to undermine American culture and basic democratic values. "The American people willlose their country.".. For Johnson, September 11 marked a dangerous change in the thinking of some American leaders. These leaders or neoconservative triumphalists see the American republic as a genuine empire. Professor Johnson's previous book was "Blowback" (2000).
The Micorsoft's assualt on open source is like the WTO "free trade" conflict -- a massively subsidised, genetically modified, machinery and chemical-warfare wielding colossus at war with a tiny malnourished day labourer armed with a mattock.
For those who profess to want to build an alternative to the corrupt two-party system, there is never a "good" time to work for that alternative. In the way the U.S. political system works, successfully building a left-wing political alternative always presents the possibility that the Republicans will win instead. So like atheists on their deathbed who call for a priest to perform last rights, many activists are intimidated into swallowing hard and voting for the Democrat.
Up to 1,500 Palestinians have been left homeless by the Israeli army's two-day raid into the Rafah refugee camp, the United Nations estimates.
On October 15th, George Bush will be heading to Fresno to build support for his run for the 2004 election, and to also raise money for the Republican party. As his polls slip, war support goes down, and as troops in the occupied Middle East become more and more restless, we need to hit Bush hard and now. Across the globe the Bush administration is striving to control markets, and the people which make them up.
Who would've known???
![]() Try Congo today, according to Keith Harmon Snow. Snow has spent the last four years investigating events in Central Africa, including Congo (DRC), Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Cameroon, and the Central African Republic. He spent seven months on the ground in Central Africa, collecting eyewitness accounts from refugees, and witnessed the activities of US based multinationals in mining and other mineral extraction operations. His conclusion: citizens in the outside world have been fed an elaborately crafted lie concerning events in the Congo and surrounding countries, a lie intended to completely whitewash the role of US and other industrialized countries in deliberately sponsoring and fomenting war, supplying modern weapons and training to armed groups in exchange for privileged, royalty free access to rare minerals vital to industrial economies... But the atrocities are in Africa, and the world is silent...
Israeli and American officials have admitted collaborating to deploy US-supplied Harpoon cruise missiles armed with nuclear warheads in Israel's fleet of Dolphin-class submarines, giving the Middle East's only nuclear power the ability to strike at any of its Arab neighbours.
