N. Korea next to hear U.S. war drum (within 30-60 days!)
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!]

Bush Is Using West Coast Residents as Pawns in Nuclear Brinkmanship
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.

Gore Blasts Bu$h
"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. "

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 Superpower's Paralysis
"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."

Functionally Insane Americans
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 . . .

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.
