Economists have all become like rich notables in the time of Trajan, doing the emperor's work whether they are on his payroll or not.. It is an expansion similar to what happens when a compulsive eater escapes.. the longer he is on the loose, the worse off he becomes.
It's plane to see.
Forget the president and his self-serving blather about not "cutting and running." If you want to help our soldiers, why not do what THEY want, and work to bring them home? That's the message for the grunts in Iraq.
While the spread of propaganda is prohibited in the US, it returns to the homefront on the roundabout way of foreign publications.. The witty and resilient Chalabi is a very respected guest in Washington and is still indirectly on the pentagon payroll.
Last week, new photographs of detainees abused by US soldiers in the infamous Abu Ghraib gulag in Iraq surfaced. They were discovered by the American Civil Liberties Union. The story was covered on TV... in Australia!
New campaign Is Starting! Camp is being setup to help get peabody coal off Hopi Reservation.
Today [February 28th] the fate of the SHAC 7 was handed over to the jury, after 3 weeks of trial. The last two days were filled with closing arguments from both sides, with the government having the last word today.
maybe Cindy Sheehan will listen now....
The Problem is not the Bush Believers- there aren't that many left. The Problem is not with the mainstream democrats that "don't have the time" to get informed. The Problem is with those of US that think MoveOn, PDA, UFPJ and ANSWER have a plan. The Problem is with those of US that Know yet continue waiting for the politicians to do something. If they haven't acted by now, they never will. It just came out that the torture was approved by top officials, yet this is not the top story, hell it's not any story- it seems NPR and the rest of the corporate media got the memo to Orwellize it. Every single blogger that knows about this- you are more qualified to be a US Representative than No Plan Pelosi or whoever your critter is. Think about it- is $160,000 a year and a chance to go down in the history books worth a shot? Think about it - the masses are with us!

PAUL WELLSTONE: AN AMERICAN ASSASSINATION - JIM FETZER ... When Sen. Paul Wellstone's plane crashed on a drizzly morning on October 25, 2002, just 60 miles north of Prof. James Fetzer in Duluth, Minnesota, it would have been a bit much to expect the professor of philosophy -- already pissed off about the JFK assassination and cover up, and a host of other scams and crimes -- to sit quietly and accept the official story that Wellstone's pilots just forgot to pay attention as they neared the airstrip, letting their plane and the Senator crash dive into the ground. At Princeton, Fetzer's thesis was on the logical structure of explanations of human behavior.

The Ohio Recount lawsuit, which was dismissed by a federal judge
earlier this month, should be re-instated because Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell is still using the same flawed recount procedures he did in 2004, according to a Motion filed Friday, 2/17/06 by lawyers for 2004 Green Party presidential candidate David Cobb.
A hearing at the federal courthouse in Tucson this morning ended without a clear resolution on Rod Coronado's detention. Magistrate judge Charles Pyle has taken the matter under advisement after the prosecution and the defense argued back and forth on whether Coronado should remain in custody and be extradited to San Diego, where he is charged in a grand jury indictment with "distribution of information relating to destructive devices." It is unknown how long it will take for Judge Pyle to decide.

Extensive timeslines and collection of information concerning each of the 19 alleged hijackers. As a result we find very strong evidence (in the case of Atta even a clear cut proof) of many of the alleged hijackers having a double.
When I think of these folks, I think of people who put everything on the line for their beliefs. I see them courageously blockading forest roads in the middle of nowhere from crazed loggers and cops; hanging huge banners from daunting heights off bridges and office buildings; hiking miles into a forest and setting up tree-sits in the darkness, rain and snow; disrupting bear, cougar, whale, wolf and shark hunts, on sea and land and frozen lakes, all the way up and down the Pacific coast and interior; dodging rubber bullets and wading through clouds of tear gas to shut down the WTO in Seattle; splattering eco-villains with creme pies; locking their bodies down to every kind of object in order to stop every kind of destructive activity; typing away at a computer or photocopying fliers in the neon glow of Kinko's while everyone else is asleep; driving through the night to make it to the next basecamp or demo; and I see them laughing and singing around a campfire under lush old-growth forest canopies and star-swept desert skies.

The Iraqi War has been raging for over three years with hardly a peep out of the Congress and/or the Media. Now, a deal which would permit an Arab-owned company to manage stevedore operations in six U.S. ports has sent both into a feeding frenzy. Why? The U.S. Coast Guard is in charge of security at the ports, not the stevedoring outfit. Whoever is behind this ports brouhaha affair deserves an Oscar nomination for - "best director!"
Former Anarchist political prisoner, Matt Lamont, was arrested yesterday after detectives escorted him out of his workplace. Only after repeated demands that he be told why he was being held, one of the detectives stated it was for a parole violation. Plain-clothes police then searched Lamont's car and apartment, where they seized political documents, letters from prisoners, as well as, the hard drive to his computer.
March 20th begins the first one-day-a-month boycott of "all things oil". George Bush is right, we're addicted. Everything we buy is coated in oil. We are literally fueling the war and all of the other U.S. atrocities with our contributions to the economy.

The federal government has been chomping at the bit to put Rod Coronado back in prison since the moment he got out, and his indictment in San Diego for an exercise of pure speech is a flimsy pretext to do just that. People may recall that when Coronado was convicted in Tucson, Arizona on December 13, 2005 for trying to disrupt a macabre, officially-planned hunt of an individual mountain lion which essentially had just scowled at someone on a path and run away, Assistant U.S. Attorney Wallace Kleindienst was quoted as saying: Coronado is "a danger to the community... I know he wasn't tried here for being a violent anarchist. This trial wasn't about Rod Coronado being a terrorist, but he is one." This is revealing of the Government's real motive here - to say nothing of its propensity for ascribing guilt by association.

I've had grown men wet this floor with tears, begging for a job. The place is Gadsden, Alabama, but it could be anywhere in the United States. It could be Washington, D.C., at a Safeway supermarket a mile or so from the White House where an elderly man is crying and holding a can of dog food.

"America for Sale: The Cost of Republican Corruption"
Congressional Democrats released a report on Wednesday to explain how the corruption in Republican-controlled Washington has harmed the American people. The report tries to quantify the damage the Republican Congress and Bush White House have inflicted, such as:
Enough Said!
Bush ordered Veterans Affairs Secretary, Anthony Principi to cover up the fact that Gulf War Syndrome was caused by the use of depleted uranium. Due to the use of depleted uranium in the battlefield, 56 percent of the 580,400 solders that served in the first Gulf War were on Permanent Medical Disability by 2000. 11,000 Gulf War veterans are already dead.
With his supporters are slipping away as Iraq goes from horrible to worse, Bush seems to be looking for that White House bunker Nixon built.
The political uproar in Washington over the sale of cargo facilities in six US ports to an Arab-owned company has exposed the cynicism of the Bush administration's so-called "war on terror" and its claim that military aggression abroad and attacks on democratic rights at home are aimed at protecting the
American people from new terrorist attacks like those of September 11, 2001. Bush has used the "war on terror" as an all-purpose pretext to justify actions ranging from the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq to the passage of the USA Patriot Act and the illegal NSA program of warrantless electronic surveillance of Americans. But the administration is now finding it difficult to square its propaganda of the past four years, calculated to stoke up fear of terrorism for political purposes, with its decision to approve the transfer of port facilities in New York, Newark, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Miami and New Orleans to the control of Dubai Ports World (DPW), a state-owned firm based in the United Arab Emirates.
The fraud(stock manipulation and illegal pump and dump activity erroneously attributed to 'naked short sells' and 'FTD' or 'fails to deliver' by the criminals) is massive,Beltway connected and may include money laundering with penny stocks and other stock shares in terrorist suspect money laundering havens such as Kuala Lumpur and Dubai.Paradoxically Gary Valinoti is a pal of David Patch who in turn is James Dale Davidson connected.Davidson is founder of the Steve Forbes and Grover Norquist connected National Taxpayers Union that funded the effort to smear New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine.And James Dale Davidson orchestrated the Richard Mellon Scaife funded 'Clinton killed Vince Foster' smear campaign against Bill Clinton ! Small world ain't it ?!
You're invited.
Last year they traded 3.5 million shares, 25% of all dealing, in LSRI stock. When they were contacted by the campaign and informed of the nature of HLS's business they made a statement stating they would desist from further share trading in HLS - but they lied, and now cannot be trusted.

Most officials thought last month's Osama bin Laden tape was no big deal—maybe even a gesture of weakness. Author and ex-CIA analyst Michael Scheuer, who founded the Agency's bin Laden unit 10 years ago, thinks they're dead wrong.

The Financial Times columnist Samuel Brittan, one of the first monetarist economists in Britain, has issued a warning that the United States cannot allow the gap between the pay of top executives and the rest of society to continue to grow on the present scale. He calls for redistributive taxation to redress the situation. [1]
"Republicans," he warns, "will not be able for ever to divert attention to religious and 'moral' issues." They "would be wise not to tempt fate by insisting on making permanent the tax cuts at the top of the scale." He expresses his fear that the alternative to some modest increases in taxation on the very wealthy may well be a more aggressive soak-the-rich campaign.
The supposed party of opposition is all worked up and ready to do battle over the silliest of things, while the whole country goes to hell.

TASERS are great. Ask any law enforcement officer.
There's only one problem - limited range. 20-30 feet is much too close! It sucks having to get close enough to have to actually look a perp in the face or - gasp - maybe even get blood on you. Thank God the good folks at TASER are always looking out for us and keeping the homeland safe.
About time he was the fellow who said the following:
''"Just between you and me, shouldn't the World Bank be encouraging more migration of the dirty industries to the LDCs [least developed countries]?" So wrote Treasury Secretary-designee Lawrence Summers, then the chief economist at the World Bank, in a 1991 World Bank internal memorandum arguing for the transfer of waste and dirty industries from industrialized to developing countries. There's more: "I think the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest wage country is impeccable and we should face up to that. ... I've always thought that underpopulated countries in Africa are vastly underpolluted; their air quality is vastly inefficiently low compared to Los Angeles or Mexico City."  http://www.zmag.org/sustainers/content/1999-06/june_18weissman.htm
Recent email. What it boils down to is that he is now a cosponsor of Rep. John Murtha's resolution calling for withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq (H.J.Res. 73). (So are Blumenaur and Wu.) The question is, when is he going to vote against funding for the war? Which is the only way Congress can stop it. Another vote is coming up in March. -- Lynn Porter

FBI Tactics
The FBI has approached several stores and non-profit organizations frequented by activists in Tucson, AZ asking to hang up a wanted poster for "Daniel Andreas San Diego, aka Andreas San Diego." The poster has four close-up facial photos and detail sketches of several tattoos.

Details are sketchy, but a federal indictment was handed down by a Federal Grand Jury in San Diego charging Rod with "teaching and demonstrating the making of a destructive device" before a crowded room at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Community Center in Hillcrest on Aug. 1, 2003, one day after an arson at the University Towne Center apartment complex under construction in San Diego.
A report issued Wednesday by Human Rights First (HRF) documents the deaths of 98 people while in US custody in Iraq and Afghanistan. The report gives details of some of the killings, putting names and faces on the victims of US imperialism. The HRF report, coming on the heels of the newly released Abu Ghraib photos, provides a devastating exposure of systematic torture, abuse and murder.
The 82-page report, entitled "Command's Responsibility: Detainee Deaths in US Custody in Iraq and Afghanistan," documents both US crimes and their official cover-up. HRF lists 98 deaths in US custody since April 2002. "According to the US military's own classifications," the report finds, "34 of these cases are suspected or confirmed homicides; Human Rights First has identified another 11 in which the facts suggest death as a result of physical abuse or harsh conditions of detention. In close to half the deaths Human Rights First surveyed, the cause of death remains officially undetermined or unannounced. Overall, eight people in US custody were tortured to death."
