Beijing — A senior Pentagon adviser has given details of a war strategy for invading North Korea and toppling its regime within 30 to 60 days, adding muscle to a lobbying campaign by U.S. hawks urging a pre-emptive military strike against Pyongyang's nuclear facilities.
[PEOPLE........this is the Crawford surprise!! Rummy, Bush, Cheney and Powell at the ranch is never a good thing.....and it seems that a war plan is being ironed out. This story came out THURSDAY.....funny I didn't see anything on the news about it!]
The attachment prints out to a poster that will mount on an 18 x 24 poster board.
The file is about 350K.
The kick-off event for the Break the Chains conference in Eugene, Oregon was great! Several hundred people showed up from all over to hear poetry, music and a rousing presentation by Ward Churchill.
The FBI may launch an inquiry into whether the White House revealed the identity of a covert CIA official to punish her husband for blowing the whistle on President Bush for making misleading claims about the Iraqi nuclear programme, officials in Washington said yesterday.
Watch as I make a seemingly "anti-business" argument designed to fit within the Left's world view, but ... TA-DA!!! ... I actually make an argument in favor of laissez-faire... now that's how to "serve it up with a LEFT SPIN"
Bush is using West Coast residents as pawns in a dangerous game of nuclear brinkmanship with North Korea. North Korea has the missiles needed to deliver a nuclear bomb to the West Coast. Bush is playing this dangerous game in order to declare martial law and void the upcoming 2004 elections.
Across the country cities are networking together to bring about justice for the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty and John Clarke! Don't let the government win in the fight for people's rights! We need your help!
The Bush administration has repeatedly mischaracterized scientific facts to bolster its political agenda in areas ranging from abstinence education and condom use to missile defense, according to a detailed report released yesterday by Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.).
Because his approval rating is in free fall.
Seems Dweebya has an affinity for Catholic Schools. Was he an alter boy or something?
"If the 21st century is to be well started, we need a national agenda that is worked out in concert with the people, a healing agenda that is built on a true national consensus. Millions of Americans got the impression that George W. Bush wanted to be a "healer, not a divider", a president devoted first and foremost to "honor and integrity." Yet far from uniting the people, the president's ideologically narrow agenda has seriously divided America. His most partisan supporters have launched a kind of 'civil cold war' against those with whom they disagree. "

Another defender of freedom has been silenced. On 4 August 2003, 20-year old Sherman Austin, the founder of the Raise the Fist anarchist news/direct action/informational website was sentenced to one year in prison for providing links on the California-based website to pages that detail how to create explosives.
oil-burning bush and fat-fanny cheney !
Attorney General John D. Ashcroft has ordered U.S. attorneys across the country to become much more aggressive in reporting to the Justice Department cases in which federal judges impose lighter sentences than called for in sentencing guidelines.
Watch Dennis on C-Span's Road to the White House
YO BASTA!!!! STOP CAFTA Free Trade Talks are coming to Houston and the resistance needs to begin
Democratic presidential candidates take stands on health care.
Sherman Austin, webmaster of RaisetheFist.com, was sentenced today, August 4, 2003, to one year in federal prison, with three years of probation. Judge Wilson shocked the courtroom when he went against the recommendation of not only the prosecution, but the FBI and the Justice Department, who had asked that Austin be sentenced to 4 months in prison, and 4 months in a half-way house, with 3 years of probation.
When he was governor of Texas, Bush invited Charles Colson's Prison Fellowship to start InnerChange Freedom Initiative, a Bible-centered prison-within-a-prison where inmates undergo vigorous evangelizing, prayer sessions, and intensive counseling. Now comes a study from the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Research on Religion and Urban Civil Society reporting that InnerChange graduates have been rearrested and reimprisoned at dramatically lower rates than a matched control group.
The CONVERGENCE of environmental, social and economic justice elements in mountaintop removal provided common ground among the forest protection and coal activist communities.
No, I'm not making this up; this country is fucking insane and anyone that defends what is happening must also be fucking insane. All this goes to prove is that those in power will not accept any level of disagreement or resistance to what they are doing. Step out a line at all and face their punishment.
"The triumphalism of the Bush administration has vanished for a long time.. More than two and a half million jobs were destroyed since Bush took office.. The president's skid into the political danger zones was not surprising with strife in Iraq, a soft labor market, the shattering of public finances and painful cuts on the local and individual state planes.. No one has more reason for anxiety than Washington's neoconservatives."
Basing our definition on a relatively objective reality, then most of the people that I know are, without question, insane. Most of my relatives, friends, and the people that I work with are insane. A very large majority are moderately to severely insane. And according to polls, at least a third are stark raving mad.
These people hold beliefs that are clearly delusional—that have absolutely no connection to reality. And they persist in holding these beliefs even when not a shred of evidence can be produced to support them. And no, I'm not talking about people who believe in UFOs, reincarnation, and the Loch Ness Monster, or people who believe in some supreme spiritual entity. I'm talking about people who believe that 'weapons of mass destruction' have been uncovered in Iraq . . .
CYNTHIA MCKINNEY DELIVERS FEARLESS ADDRESS IN HARLEM In what may be the start of a comeback worthy of Muhammad Ali, the now vindicated former Georgia Congresswoman minced no words as she talked about 9/11, Civil Liberties, Race Relations, Independent Media, Pacifica Radio, FTW and the efforts of the major media to suppress our national ad campaign.
"From within the belly of the fascist beast, we, inside and outside, must strongly oppose these war crimes by this government."
These are some musings on the personal experiences of being involved with the grass roots, indy-media, blog and e-mail driven campaign for president by Dennis Kucincih. In Portland there is a perfect fit between Kucinich and Oregonians, both independent and beholden to no one. But we're a strange lot here in Cascadia with our complete suspicion of anything organized. It's a lot like 'Herding Ducks'.
One would think that with the horrible economy, graduates who have tried to better themselves with higher education would be able to take advantage of the low interest rates when paying back their student loans. Only it's not that easy...

Free Press encourages you to attend the National Conference on Media Reform, November 7-9, in Madison, Wisconsin. The conference will provide the opportunity to meet with other activists to build a stronger and more effective media reform movement.
"`We celebrate the victory over the recession while several hundred thousand employees are dismissed every month', decried congressman Pete Stark from California. `This would be almost hilarious if it weren't so sad.'..The growth passes by the people. Insecurity grows. Those who still have work ;grit their teeth, finish the work of their terminated co-workers and hope for an improvement." Translated from German

Before our conversation ended, the man told me of other public officials who also are fearful of speaking out. "You have to be careful what you say in public these days," he added.
I instinctively looked around to see if anyone was hiding in the gathering twilight. For a moment, I felt like I was in Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin. Never did I think I would live to see the day when an honest man was afraid to speak his mind on political issues in America.
Non-sequitur cartoon. Funny -sad
It's too bad we will never know how many thousands of Iraqis have been killed. Apparently their names are not important because their killers consider them to be vermin. What has Bush done to our nation?
A discourse of youth rights.
Bush's ministry of propaganda is sinister -- deceptively labeling policies like; Healthy Forests, Clear Skies, Patriotism -- only to construct those policies to the opposite of what is implied.
Computer scientists have raised concerns about the security of computerized voting machines for the past few years, but they haven't been able to gather much support from election officials, who remain confident that the systems are basically secure from tampering and breakdowns. The Johns Hopkins study is the first piece of evidence that current touch-screen technology could be seriously flawed. ***we need to get HR 2239 out of committe and out to a vote: TO REQUIRE AUDITABLE PAPER TRAILS. No other activism we do will count if the elections are not free, fair, and verifiable!!!***
A short, interesting article about Leo Strauss, the 'father' of the neo-conservative (PNAC) ideology. Deception, religion, nationalism, all for the benefit of the elites and to control the masses.
Time to corner and expose the "good Doctor"
One would be wrong.
You talk and talk and talk and before get some knowledge. here is a good tool
"I send warmest of anarchist greetings to all attending the Break the Chains Conference, from the belly of the beast of capitalism, this rural gulag fiefdom ruled over by prisoncrats! I stand 100% in solidarity with those of you wishing to build a strong Anarchist movement in the United States which will be a force for the monsters of the earth to reckon with in the future."
"I wish I were there with you. The camaraderie must be exhilarating, the hands-on personal interaction, the kaleidoscope of visual imagery, the realness of the revolutionary effort in practice."
"The USA is flexing its muscles, daring anyone to challenge its power. From without it threatens with overwhelming military power. From within it threatens with fascist laws designed as much to intimidate as punish."

Statement to the Break the Chains Conference (Eugene, OR, Aug 8-10) from political prisoner Jalil Muntaqim.
no surprise I know, but it is amazing that this great service will be lost, encouraging the use of cars to once again, increase... Seattle to Portland and vice versa trains are packed a couple times a day both directions, sometimes 3 times a day...
n an independent investigation sponsored by hated porn peddler and first amendment champion Larry Flynt on Presidential Candidate George Bush, Flynt says that Bush impregnated a young girl, which ended in an underground abortion before Roe v. Wade (i.e. the case that made abortion legal) in the early 1970s.
If privatization of water can happen in michigan, the privatization of our electricity here in portland and all up and down the coast as a result of Enron selling off the entire Pacific Pipeline (running from n. cali to b.c,) and the dams built by Bonneville Power and paid for by Oregon ratepayers, can result in this same effect.
