You know as in texass, bigger is better, so uncle sam is just going to expand into Iraq because things are going so well.
This is not satire.
In August of 2004, the newspaper The Business stated in regards to the incredible amount of confidential information coming out of HLS: "The most intriguing question is where the activists are getting their clearly confidential information. Patently, they have inside information coming from both individual firms and government departments."

This Saturday there will be a huge rally to Demain a Recount and investigation into the Ohio voting problems. This is not about bush vs kerry, this is about American citizens being given equal access to vote. If we don't demand Blackwell remove himself from the process and allow a full recount to proceed, then American democracy will be officially dead. You were given a democracy- are you going to let them just take it like this? Do you really think we'll have a better shot in 2008? Wake up and expose this fraud they call 'the president' !
In an effort to further the experiment in keeping the newswire free of corporate media I wanted to give people the ability to compare 1 approach to the other. I'm not particularly familiar with these stories so I doubt my write-up will be the best but I'm willing to give it a shot.
Vote riggers, promised a minimum payment for their illegal services, started talking about the vote rigging operation because they did not receive the payoff. "...operation may involve retired FBI agents who used a well-established "good ole boy" network to arrange for access to polling precincts by electronic voting machine technicians who took advantage of various November 2 security "lockdowns" to illegally alter the tabulation of votes in favor of Bush."
Connections to Halluburton noted! Spider in web of all these separate Bush/Enron/Saudi/vote rig/Cheney-Halliburton connections may be PIERRE FALCONE. "On October 6, 2004, some two weeks before Equity Financial Trust [payer of the vote fraud monies, a Houston-based "brass plate" and post office box entity tied to offshore Cook Islands "folding tent" accounts used to hide away profits amassed by the former Enron as well as Saudi financiers; once the base of one of the more questionable and Saudi-linked BCCI subsidiaries. Cook Islands banks also handled some of the weapons smuggling financing of the Iran-Contra scandal] transferred the [vote fraud for Texas] money to Five Star Investment Ltd. [a trust said to have long connections to Saudi-funded operations in Texas and around world; used to support both Bush and Osama bin Laden in the US and around the world], the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions for Canada listed [vote fraud payer] Equity Financial Trust, along with Bankers Financial and Security Trust, Falcon Financial and Trust, and Unity Virtual Trust Group as "unauthorized financial institutions. ... It is noteworthy that a number of companies operated by past Bush campaign contributor Pierre Falcone, under criminal investigation in France for weapons smuggling in Angola, are called "Falcon." Several non-governmental organizations, including Global Witness, have tied Falcone to questionable Halliburton activities when Vice President Dick Cheney headed the firm."
An email from Nader. Some useful history for those of us who weren't politically conscious when it was happening.
EYEWITNESSES
[WTC1 witness] 1. Mike Pecoraro, who was working in the SIXTH SUBBASEMENT of the North Tower when the first plane hit. His eyewitness account is of the moments after the first plane crash (WTC1 struck at 95th floor by unknown plane around 8:46 a.m.), and describes evidence of large explosions in the lobby, parking garage and subbasement levels of WTC-1 at the time of the crash. [or rather, timed to coincide with the crash.] "...the room they were working in began to fill with a white smoke. "We smelled kerosene," Mike recalled, "I was thinking maybe a car fire was upstairs", referring to the parking garage located below grade in the tower but above the deep space where they were working. The two decided to ascend the stairs to the C level, to a small machine shop where Vito Deleo and David Williams were supposed to be working. When the two arrived at the C level, they found the machine shop gone." [dual WTC1/WTC2 witness] 2. Construction worker Phillip Morelli describes being ***thrown to the ground*** by ***two explosions*** while in the FOURTH SUBBASEMENT of the [WTC1] North Tower. [THIRD explosion in WTC1] "The first, which threw him to the ground and seemed to coincide with the plane crash, was followed by a larger [third] blast that again threw him to the ground and this time blew out walls. He then made his way to the South Tower and was in the [WTC2] subbasement there when the second plane hit [9:03 a.m], again associated with a powerful underground blast. This is one of a series of interviews with WTC survivors..."

Five Years After WTO Protests
BERKELEY - With Republicans controlling the Senate, the House, and the
White House and enjoying a large margin of victory for California Governor-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger, it's clear that the Democratic Party is in crisis. George Lakoff, a UC Berkeley professor of linguistics and cognitive science, thinks he knows why. Conservatives have spent decades defining their ideas, carefully choosing the language with which to present them, and building an infrastructure to communicate them, says Lakoff.
The reality series THE SWAN is like Stepford Wives Roadkill . . . so awesomely outrageous you find yourself watching it because it's so sad . . . so unbelievable.

The administration and congress are pushing a huge scam, claiming Social Security is in trouble and needs to be destroyed in order to save it. Don't believe a word of it. After all, when's the last time you can remember a Republican doing anything nice for a poor person voluntarily?

During the Presidential campaign, the Bush gang repeatedly denied any plans to re-activate the draft. It seems odd, then, that more than 30 states now require you to "pre-register" with SS when you apply for a driver's license learner's permit.
"Interesting" in that this movie is released at this point.
Press release from yesterday.
On Monday, November 29, 2004, a legal challenge to the recent decision
by Wells College to admit men in the fall of 2005 was filed in New York State Supreme Court in Cayuga County. This suit, brought on behalf of two students (a freshman and a sophomore) at the college, alleges, among other things, that Wells College violated New York State General Business law by committing fraud. The students' claim is that they were led to believe that they would be attending a women's college for four years.

Someone said that they heard on Fox News that a Wal-Mart in Warrenton Missouri had SHUT DOWN for 5-6 hours friday (buy nothing day) - I looked for the story online, but instead I found a bunch of other stories of past bomb threats at Wal-Mart stores - which all led to an evacuation of the store.

Time to face the truth.
In failing to become a party to the Cobb/Badnarik request for an expedited recount, John Kerry has proven yet again that he was in the race to lose it - not to win it.
The class divide in health care is not much less visible in America today than it was in pre-war Britain. The public sector in general and all forms of social welfare policy are under the privatizing gun.

POINT-AND-CLICK SLAUGHTER?
Remember the Bonsai Kitten website? It featured photos of kittens crammed into glass jars or vases to contort their bodies into the contour of the container. The site was eventually exposed as the sick fantasy of someone skilled in Photoshop editing software. Demented, but a hoax. A possible new hoax--linked to the creator of the Bonsai Kitten site--is equally deranged [*See astute analysis from Merritt Clifton, toward end]. John Underwood's http://www.Live-shot.com, a site that lets web surfers slaughter wild, confined animals with the click of their mouse. "The animals will either come passing by to feed or to water," Lockwood told San Antonio reporters in Web Surfers Will Soon Hunt Wild Game Online (11/19/04). The hunts purportedly allow shooters to maneuver a camera with pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities, along with a gun to fire at real targets in real time.
There will never be another free and fair election in America ever again if George Bush is inaugurated as the President of the United States on January 20th. 2005 or at least until there is a civil war restablishing an open democracy.

The Smilin' Ohioan reports a Democratic candidate "farther down on the ticket" is found to have 257,000 more votes than Sen. Kerry. A developement that dwarves the preliminary gap of 136,000, which should come down when the vote is certified on monday, because the provisionals have been, either tabled or tabulated- as reported by channel 3 news in cleveland.It is not clear what is to be done with all the various precints reporting 100%+ turnouts, ie.-more votes recorded than registered voters. Steven Rosenfield reports Jackson has a sunday rally in Columbus and he is quoted here-"We want to look at the exit polls," Jackson said, referring to at least two non-partisan Election Day polls, by Zogby and CNN, which gave Kerry 53 percent and 51 percent of the vote, respectively. "We don't want to be presumptuous, but these numbers in the Butler, Clarmont, Warren and Hamilton counties are suspicious." & "We need to investigate, coordinate, litigate, recount and recuse," he said, referring to the legitimacy of the Ohio vote. "Mr. Blackwell cannot be both the owner of the team and the umpire."
The deficit can only be lowered by devaluing the dollar at least 20 to 30 percent.. In 1963 the deficit amounted to five percent of the economic output. This changed within eight years into a surplus of one percent.Economic growth, tax increases and spending discipline were vital.
