The Conservative Assault on our Environment
Fitzsimmons, a free-market policy analyst and former libertarian and conservative think tank consultant, contends that ecosystems exist only in our imagination -- thus, federal policies should not be used to manage or restore the environment.

From Xymphora, Bush blames Blair. Blair blames Bush. American blames England. England blames America. Woo-hoo. I love it. The truth all these Warmongers (not just Bush or Blair, but the American and British nations themselves) are guitly through and through. What the American media is doing with respect to its recent "discovery" of the Niger Uranium issue is to make Bush into a convenient patsy and scapegoat.

George The Second cuts benefits for active soldiers - he doesn't care about troops at all
He will block an increase in the $6,000 paid to families of killed soldiers In recent months, President Bush and the Republican-controlled Congress have missed no opportunity to heap richly deserved praise on the military. But talk is cheap — and getting cheaper by the day, judging from the nickel-and-dime treatment the troops are getting lately.

Get Ready for a Limited Hangout on the 9-11 "Investigation"
As exemplified by this report below, the American Media is already preparing public opinion that will try to present the final report on the 9-11 attacks as some kind of "hard-hitting" report filled with "explosive revelations." This is bullshit. What you will see is a Limited Hangout, a set of limited revelations which help to cover up the real crimes involved. For instance, you will see nothing in the report about the DELIBERATE STANDDOWN of US Air Defenses on 9-11, an analysis of the Twin Towers collapse, the suprising lack of aircraft debris at the Pentagon crash, the fact that the USA had told other countries it was planning to invade and attack Afghanistan BEFORE 9-11 even happened, the unusually high volume of insider trading on stock options for United/America Airlines, and most damning of all, the FACT that some of the 9-11 Hijackers trained at US military airbases or CIA cutouts in Florida, not to mention the long and proud history of AMERICAN SPONSORSHIP OF ISLAMICIST TERRORISM for the past decade in the Balkans.

Would-be Democratic presidential candidates in 2004 therefore face a dilemma. They can play by the new rules and increase their chance of winning, but at the risk of weakening the country. Or they can opt for responsible, moderate proposals that would strengthen American society-and almost certainly consign themselves to immediate electoral defeat.

Culture of Mass Denial Encounters Cognitive Dissonance
Why are most Americans unwilling to question the US Government's shabby cover story for Sept. 11th? The short answer: because denial of the truth is easier than confrontation. In the Culture of Mass Denial crafted by the US Government the sleepers, or sheep, will sometimes lash out violently when presented with facts that contradict their carefully preserved worldview (1). In a one-to-one situation confrontation is ill advised. You must carefully asses whether or not the subject is willing to question what they've been taught. Listening is important. Round about conversation is the first step. [ Read More ]

You Can Choose The Constitution or You Can Choose the Flag and the President
dead As Americans begin to celebrate the 4th of July it is important in my opinion to discuss what exactly is patriotism. The Bush regime would have us believe in this time of war, the war and terrorism, the never ending war, as it is impossible to win a war on terrorism especially using military might, that we must support the president regardless of the criminal and unethical behavior of many members of the regime. That we must support the president even though the war is undeclared and illegal and not supported by the United Nations Security Council. That this support regardless of all the facts that are playing out before our very eyes to the contrary, that this support is patriotic. That in fact dissent is unpatriotic and immoral.

Well I have some very serious problems with that idea. First of all I am a Canadian living in the U.S. who will never become a citizen of the U.S. for the simple fact that I will be asked at the citizenship ceremony to pledge allegiance to a flag. I will never pledged allegiance to a flag. Let me say it again. I will never pledge allegiance to a flag. Pledging allegiance to flag is the very source of the brainwashing that many Americans suffer from. [ Read More ] [ Happy 4th of July! ]
