To mark the fifth anniversary of the killing of Mathew Shepherd, the Rev. Fred Phelps wants to put up a monument in a Casper park that says: "Matthew Shepard entered Hell October 12, 1998, at age 21 in defiance of God's solemn warning: Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind; it is abomination. Leviticus 18:22."
Between 1998 and 2002 on an average around 700,000 workers were admitted into US on H-1B & L-1 visa EACH YEAR mainly for the high tech jobs.
Dear Friends,
As you may know, the government of Bolivia has sent troops and tanks to attack and intimidate a broad popular mobilization in Bolivia.

Don't blame the children for deadbeat, bankrupt parents: Readers respond to Katharine Mieszkowski's "Americans Are Not Going Broke Over Lattes!"
Oct. 14, 2003 | WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court cleared the way Tuesday for state laws allowing ill patients to smoke marijuana if a doctor recommends it.
The influence of former California Gov. Pete Wilson (Republican) on Schwarzenegger's team is evident. It is heavy on establishment figures and almost devoid of anyone who has been known to challenge the status quo.
If the pilot of Flight 77 had taken the easy option (a terrorist's aim on a suicide mission is to cause maximum collateral damage) and ploughed the plane into the north side of the Pentagon there would have been massive damage to the building and many human casualties, including the US Secretary of Defense. Instead, he felt compelled to execute a maneuver worthy of a fighter pilot and flew the plane into the western side of the building. This was an amazing feat from a guy who could barely fly a Cessna - obviously he'd thoroughly studied his Arabic flight training manuals on the night before the mission.
Was this simply bad judgement on the behalf of an inspired pilot, good luck on the behalf of the Pentagon, or was the attack contrived for maximum visual effect and minimal destruction? If the latter is the case then Flight 77 was not flown by terrorists.
Roxanne Jekot, who has put much of her professional and personal life on hold to work on the issue full time, puts it even more strongly. "Corporate America is very close to running this country. The only thing that is stopping them from taking total control are the pesky voters. That's why there's such a drive to control the vote. What we're seeing is the corporatisation of the last shred of democracy.
"I feel that unless we stop it here and stop it now," she says, "my kids won't grow up to have a right to vote at all."
Bertha Champagne, 62, had gone outside the house about 9 p.m. Monday, reportedly to retrieve something from her car. The vehicle had been in gear, police said, and appeared to have rolled in her direction when Champagne was in front of it.
"At some point, no one can say precisely when, libertarians apparently swore a feudal oath of fealty to the Republican Party... with this alliance (such as it is) we hold our noses and vote for Republican in close presidential elections, while they pay lip service to limited government."
"The war against terrorism cannot be won. Two new heads grow on the hydra `terrorism' for every head that is cut off. This problem cannot be solved thorugh military policy but only through a social policy of drying up the swamp nourishing the hydra. This happens through a policy of equalization between rich and poor, powerful and powerless and high and low." translated from the German
That the mainstream media has filtered and distorted news about the war cannot be denied. But its promotion of the War prior to preemptive strike, support of the War On Terrorism and the Patriot Act (right down to specially designed logos!), embedded pro-administration reporters, and early war coverage were all of benefit to the Bush administration. Shrub's cadre wasn't complaining when the media was busy wrapping Private Jessica in a flag or photographing the downfall of a Saddam statue or covering the President on the deck of a carrier in a flight suit as he strutted about and declared the end of military action! Unfortunately the good puppy media has made the mistake of peeing on Mr. Bush's trousers.

The Bush administration is calling for the repeal of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, a law passed after the Civil War to prohibit the deployment of federal military forces onto American streets to control civil action - otherwise known as martial law. Re-posted from unixpunx.org.
The following interview was with a Sergeant First Class in the United States Army. He has been deployed both in Afghanistan and most recently in Iraq in Falujah and in Kirkuk, which have been the heart of Iraqi resistance and attacks on US forces.

In polls, the Apollo initiative is testing off the charts with Joe Six-Pack voters — the voting block we need to win crucial Rust Belt states like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan in 2004.
Seniors would rather have no bill, than a bad bill that would leave seniors at the mercy of insurance companies by privatizing Medicare .
Tribal members are not allowed to discuss anything openly to others or communicate over the internet by way of e-mails. What ever happened to our Rights under the U. S. Constitution and the First Amendment? We have not given up these rights after being recognized by the Federal Government.
I had the unique opportunity to interview five US military servicemen who just got back from Iraq, or in the case of two men, corresponded with their wives so that I could ask questions of these soldiers by mail. When the two I corresponded with came back just last week, I was able to complete the interviews I started several months ago with some new details on how the war is actually going.
Continuing the purge of her office staff, Broward County Elections Supervisor Miriam Oliphant on Wednesday fired the clerk who tipped state prosecutors to the location of hundreds of absentee ballots that were never counted in the September 2002 primary.
Robert Adams said Oliphant gave him no explanation as she ordered him to choose between being fired or quitting. His dismissal caps a six-week shakeup by Oliphant that has included the forced departures of her top deputy, chief financial officer, absentee ballot supervisor and pollworker supervisor.
The intimidation in this country that's been whipped up by this official fear and warmongering has been far more effective than any Patriot Act in whittling away our civil liberties.

Below is the full text of the Weather Underground's first public Communiqué, which was delivered by recorded tape on May 21, 1970. Twenty days later, they bombed the New York City police headquarters in retaliation for the ongoing police assasination of black activists. Food for thought...
California and Arnold as a new Governor.
Is this a case of America on the new path for a revolution? Just my own personal thoughts.
Home mortgages, insurance and, above all, children are driving middle-class parents into bankruptcy, says Harvard law professor and author Elizabeth Warren.
Why do Americans still believe in the rags-to-riches fairy tale? In this final extract from his explosive new book, Michael Moore explains why the corporate bosses will never let the American dream become a reality.
Bush Regime's political police will be empowered to detain US citizens without probably cause. Indefinite detention, torture, and summary execution, all carried out without previous judgment pronounced by a regularly constituted court, will be perfectly legal in the forthcoming, legally criminal Homeland Security state, because they will result from "administrative procedures" and will not involve a "criminal sentence."
Don't look now...John Ashcroft's DOJ is expanding its take-no-prisoners assault on the BIll of Rights with a new tactic: Lawsuits attempting to criminalize nonprofit, activist NGOs for acts of civil disobedience committed by their members. This time, they're not using the old "conspiracy" ploy, which is notoriously difficult to prove, but instead, obscure laws that have been on the books for years but rarely enforced. And in the process, the plan is to strip the group of any right to trial by jury...
President Bush made his fortune by getting Texas taxpayers to pay for the Texas Rangers's new baseball stadium. His government now expands corporate welfare on the backs of individual taxpayers, while allowing huge tax escapes for large multinational corporations.
Rush Limbaugh's addiction to the drug OxyContin is not uncommon. As much as 30 percent of the criminal drug problem in America involves the misuse of drugs that are legal -- it's called drug diversion.
Militarism and arrogance of power threaten to undermine American culture and basic democratic values. "The American people willlose their country.".. For Johnson, September 11 marked a dangerous change in the thinking of some American leaders. These leaders or neoconservative triumphalists see the American republic as a genuine empire. Professor Johnson's previous book was "Blowback" (2000).
The Micorsoft's assualt on open source is like the WTO "free trade" conflict -- a massively subsidised, genetically modified, machinery and chemical-warfare wielding colossus at war with a tiny malnourished day labourer armed with a mattock.
For those who profess to want to build an alternative to the corrupt two-party system, there is never a "good" time to work for that alternative. In the way the U.S. political system works, successfully building a left-wing political alternative always presents the possibility that the Republicans will win instead. So like atheists on their deathbed who call for a priest to perform last rights, many activists are intimidated into swallowing hard and voting for the Democrat.
Israeli and American officials have admitted collaborating to deploy US-supplied Harpoon cruise missiles armed with nuclear warheads in Israel's fleet of Dolphin-class submarines, giving the Middle East's only nuclear power the ability to strike at any of its Arab neighbours.
The Neocons have determined that elections can be manipulated easily with the new touch screen voting systems and when accompanied by a media pounding of lies, the public will accept the rigged election results as fact.
It's only a coincidence. Anyone who suggests otherwise hates America, and will burn in hell for eternity.

NASHVILLE, Oct. 1 - At the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution here, through a set of double doors next to several vending machines, a gurney stands ready to deliver prisoners to their executions by lethal injection. Just about every aspect of the death penalty provokes acrimonious debate, but this method of killing, by common consensus, is
The California recall shows Diebold trying to affect the election outcome by moving votes from high ranked candidates to low ranked candidates.
Letters from hometown soldiers describing their successes rebuilding Iraq have been appearing in newspapers across the country as U.S. public opinion on the mission sours. And all the letters are the same... The Olympian received two identical letters signed by different hometown soldiers: Spc. Joshua Ackler and Spc. Alex Marois, who is now a sergeant. The paper declined to run either because of a policy not to publish form letters.
If certification isn't being done properly, the whole house of cards falls. Below are actual copies of internal Diebold memos which show that uncertified software is being used in elections, and that Diebold programmers intentionally end-run the system.
Not only is the country's leading touch-screen voting system so badly designed that votes can be easily changed, but its manufacturer is run by a die-hard GOP donor who vowed to deliver his state for Bush next year.
I don't know if you all know this, but John (Cougar) Mellencamp wrote and recorded an anti-Bush song before the "Iraq War". Thank you Clear Channel for playing it!

Internal Enron e-mails confirm that Arnold Schwarzenegger was among a small group of executives who met with Lay at the posh Peninsula Beverly Hills hotel in May of 2001, in the midst of California's energy crisis. The meeting with Enron occurred ten days after rolling blackouts darkened California for two consecutive days; Schwarzenegger has previously said that he does not remember such a meeting.
FTCR's senior consumer advocate Douglas Heller said, "Mr. Schwarzenegger should come clean about what happened at that meeting and if he shares Ken Lay's views on energy regulation."

Today Rush ended his show with an admission that yes, he is a drug addict. This culminates a week of speculation of this fact. The difference between Rush and the commoner drug addict is that Rush isn't going to jail.
Friday, October 10, 2003 Posted: 3:42 PM EDT (1942 GMT) (CNN) -- Rush Limbaugh announced on his radio program Friday that he was addicted to pain medication and that he was checking himself into a treatment center immediately.
