Ultimate Nightmare for Democracy: High Confidence Yet Total Fraud
Paper ballot/trails create the gold standard for voter-verified FRAUD AND MAKE IT ALL SEEM LIKE IT'S A LEGITIMATE ELECTION . The riggers are then laughing their butts off with delight at this state of affairs, knowing that while perhaps at most 10% of errors get caught, 90% are voter approved and therefore legitimated.

Sneak Peek at Michael Moore's "SiCKO", focusing on modern "Satanic Mills": U.S. hospitals
Comparing different countries medicine, or rather comparing the drug extortion monopoly complex in the USA versus medical care in other countries. The hospital drug pushers are around 15% of U.S. GNP and are the #1 killer in the USA, far above cancer, far above heart disease, and way far above drug or gun deaths. Yes, U.S. hospitals are the modern industrial "Satanic mills" that are the #1 cause of death in the USA.

Moore is said to have done well at Cannes according to some media I have seen. The film's first screening there was greeted warmly.

As a hot button hook in the film, Moore takes sick and ailing 9-11 respondents that the U.S. has abandoned to die, attempting to get them health care in other countries; the US neocons prefer to keep them sick, and the state criminals hope, soon dead since they are prime witnesses to governmental state terrorism.

9-11 Truther Lehrman's '08 NM Senate Race Challenged by Establishment, Needs Your Support
New Mexico must not be a completely vote rigged state--they way they attack him...

"

I recently reached that limit, the danger zone, where my effectiveness has been noticed and counterattacked. As my friend Bill Althouse says, "they always let you know when you've poked the monkey." My campaign has come under attack by forces eager to keep 9/11 Truth off the radar in the upcoming election season. These attacks made it to the desks of very powerful people in the "Establishment" who contacted me and in no uncertain terms..."

"I immediately understood that the purpose of my candidacy is not to destroy the establishment, but to pry its fingers off the steering wheel of government before it takes us off the cliff....I was enormously gratified to be received so seriously as a candidate for Senate by members of the Democratic Party at the Las Cruces Convention last month, the media and my friends and neighbors. Good ideas have been streaming in from all corners since I made the announcement, and I intend to continue to incorporate the best suggestions into the platform. I am planning a fundraiser party for sometime in June. I will announce the details when they are ready. Again, if you can help in any way, from ideas to finance to the fundraiser, please do so."

Cheney's Criminal State of Wyoming
There are places within the United States which already resembled today's secret prisons and death squad operations back since 1980, but unless you were victimized by these states and counties you might not even know such horrors existed. The following article is an absolute fact and is not conspiracy theory and is documented. The public safety commissioner who murdered his officer got off scott free under the perpetrator-con U.S. Government we live under.
Right now under red list emergency procedures, I believe you, as a law abiding upstanding citizen can be murdered by law enforcement under current regulations, depending on what profile you fit.

Longshore Workers Honor Picket Line, Shut Down War Cargo Shipper in Oakland
Antiwar pickets shut down Oakland terminal (Photo: Barucha Calamity Peller) This can be an important first step toward the mobilization of workers power to shut down the war machine, but that requires a sharp struggle against the bourgeois politics of the antiwar groups and union officialdom. The OEA calls for money for schools not for war, as if it were a matter of budget priorities, and the PAC poster made a social-patriotic pitch to "Bring the Troops Home Now, and give them the care they need." Such "peace is patriotic" rhetoric is a staple of the UPFJ, but all the antiwar coalitions make similar appeals to garner support from Democratic Party liberals. Revolutionaries and class-conscious workers, in contrast, emphasize that this imperialist war must be opposed by class war.

MALCOLM X: America is just as much a colonial power as England ever was. America is just as much a colonial power as France ever was. And in fact, America is more so of a colonial power than they, because she's a hypocritical colonial power. What do you call second-class citizenship? Why, that's colonization. Second class citizenship is nothing but 20th century slavery. How you are going to tell me that you are a second-class citizen. They don't have second-class citizenship than any other government on this earth. They have slaves and people who are free. This country is a hypocrite. They claim they set you free by calling you a second-class citizen. No, you are nothing but a 20th century slave. Just as they took nationalism to remove colonialism from Asia and Africa, it will take Black Nationalism today to remove colonialism from the backs and the minds of the 22 million African-Americans here in this country.

Congressional Democrats, Republicans begin talks with White House on war spending bill
The congressional Democrats' "anti-war" charade over the Bush administration's war-funding request is coming to its inevitable, ignoble end.

Democratic and Republican senators on Thursday voted 94-1 to pass a "placeholder" motion expressing "support for the troops" in lieu of their own version of a war-funding bill. They then moved to nominate conferees for closed-door negotiations with representatives of the House of Representatives and the White House, where the real war-funding bill will be drawn up.

More antiwar posturing from Senate Democrats
Legislation introduced by Russ Feingold in the US Senate Wednesday calling for the withdrawal of US combat forces from Iraq by the end of March, 2008 was the occasion for a new round of phony antiwar posturing by Democratic presidential hopefuls. The legislation was defeated by a wide margin, with nearly half of the Democratic senators voting against it.

Behind a smokescreen of toothless antiwar measures introduced to provide themselves with political cover, Democrats in both the House of Representatives and the Senate are preparing to vote overwhelmingly to continue the war in the form of a war-funding bill they hope to have on President Bush's desk by Memorial Day (May 28).

May 17th: Court Date and Protests for Mumia
On Thursday, May 17th, oral arguments will be heard in federal
court in Philadelphia on what could be the last appeal of death-row
journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal, who is known as the "Voice of the

Lawyers for journalist and political activist
Mumia Abu-Jamal will present oral arguments in the Third Circuit
Court of Appeals in Philadelphia on why Mumia, who has now spent
almost 25 years on death row, deserves the right to a new trial.

The court will decide after May 17 whether Mumia will be given a fair
trial, life in prison, or execution. This case concerns, not only
Mumia Abu-Jamal's right to a fair trial, but the struggle against the
death penalty and the racist political repression of an outspoken
journalist.

A historic betrayal of auto workers
German automaker DaimlerChrysler announced yesterday that it had agreed to sell majority ownership of its North American Chrysler Group to the private investment firm Cerberus Capital Management for $7.4 billion. The sale paves the way for the carve-up of the 80-year-old auto company and a massive attack on the jobs, wages and health and retirement benefits of Chrysler's 80,000 employees in the US and Canada.

Even before DaimlerChrysler officially announced the sell-off at a press conference in Germany, the United Auto Workers (UAW) issued a statement endorsing the sale of the company to Wall Street speculators, saying it was "in the best interests of our UAW members, the Chrysler Group and Daimler."

A SHORT INTRODUCTION TO MARX’S ECONOMICS
Marx's analysis of capitalism, unlike bourgeois accounts, is conducted from a historical perspective. In other words, Marx was keenly aware that during the march of history, one economic system, because of internal, irreconcilable contradictions, has been replaced by another until it too falls victim to similar contradictions. Of course, when one is born and matures within a single economy and lacks knowledge of any other system, one tends to take one's own for granted, believing that it will persevere forever. A historical perspective has the advantage of forcing us to rise above the provincial perspective that assumes economic systems are eternal. We survey from above the vast array of systems that have played their fleeting role on history's stage. For this reason, Marx's analysis of capitalism is specifically written with the purpose of unveiling its inner contradictions so that the possibility of its demise stands boldly in relief. This runs directly opposed to bourgeois portrayals of capitalism as "natural" and hence as unalterable as the law of gravity itself.

US Economy: Racing to the Bottom
To begin with one must remember that all the statistics kept on our economy are bogus. They are contrived in such a manner, compiled explicitly for casual regurgitation, so as to never display anything less than full employment, wage growth and a serendipitous lack of inflation.


With that as a foundation, what's actually occurring in this economy is the globalization of assets and wealth. That is to say, because the value of American labor is falling so precipitously, (due to the utilization of cheap foreign labor around the world), the value of the assets held by them is falling in direct correlation with their declining wages. It must.
