HEY LIBERALS: WMDs are Not the only Lie used to Justify Wars of Aggression
Here is an excellent article comparing the lies about WMDs used to justifiy Anglo-American aggression against Iraq with the lies about "Ethnic Cleansing" used to justify Anglo-American aggression against Yugoslavia--a war which many Liberals here supported. In both cases, only the pretext (or Lie) is different. The same Liberals like Robin Cook and Claire Short in England, or the Demo-rats here in America, who rightfully criticize Bush's lies about WMD are also guitly of War Crimes themselves. Apparently, Liberals don't mind Wars of Aggression and the lies used to justify them--as long it comes with a guilt assuaging "Human Rights" Propaganda Pretext.

Police Harass WTO protesters
Apparently the police do not consider themselves to be the only suspicious, militant looking force lurking the streets of Sacramento. When activists were given citations for jaywalking Thursday the 19th, two things became apparent. First of all, freedom of speech means nothing if dissenters are intimidated into silence. Second of all, the police obviously consider this movement threatening. Those impacted do not know whether to be angry or flattered.

Family members of victims of the terror attacks say the White House has smothered every attempt to get to the bottom of the outrageous intelligence failures that took place on its watch... "We've been fighting for nearly 21 months... As soon as we started looking for answers we were blocked, put off and ignored at every stop of the way. We were shocked.

"Many private American households have exhausted their credit limits..The average debt service of a US household has reached a record of 14 percent of disposable income. Altogether the private debt of American households rose to an historic high of $1.7 trillion.. If US citizens put aside nine percent of their disposable income at the beginning of the 90s, the savings rate at the end of the decade was slightly above two percent..Very different signals are given to American consumers because no one knows the seirousness of the situation."

A piece of artwork I have modified to portray my view of America. Only 10% of an iceberg is visable on the surface. The rest is hidden out of view down in the murky depths. This seems to lend itself nicely as an analogy for the United States. On the surface we are pristine and beautiful, seemingly peaceful. Yet underneath we hide the greed, imperialism and death of our capitalist regime.

Triumph of Kleptocracy & Death of Reason
"The great danger of the lynch-mob terror bubble we find ourselves trapped in, as the Germans under the Nazi regime were, is losing touch with the rest of the world. At the same time, we are unable to assess that this is no longer our government, but has been stolen from us by country-sized corporations and their henchmen.. The Bush regime has made nuclear weapons a very real first-strike option, tossing aside all treaties signed over our lifetimes. But you won't hear about that on the 6 o'clock news." from Slingshot 2003

SACRAMENTO--This morning at around 7:00 a.m., Sacramento police officers paid a visit to the WTO mobiization Welcome Center and seized over 100 permaculture seed-balls. Activists from around the country have been gathering in Sacramento and meeting at the Welcome Center in preparation for protests against a June 23-25 U.S. Department of Agriculture tradeshow intended to convince WTO member countries to accept new guidelines regarding biotechnology and genetic engineering.
many people have asked about the origin of a quote from Henry Kissinger regarding military men, which came from Woodward and Bernstein's "The Final Days" (1976). Here is the complete paragraph--and for context, the one following--excerpted from pages 194-195 of the second Touchstone paperback edition (1994).
An ad for Lipton Iced Tea that features the Dixie Chicks is being pulled. It's uncertain when or if the ad will run. The ads were to have debuted in May to coincide with the group's first world tour in three years.
A piece of artwork I have modified to portray my view of America. Only 10% of an iceberg is visable on the surface. The rest is hidden out of view down in the murky depths. This seems to lend itself nicely as an analogy for the United States. On the surface we are pristine and beautiful, seemingly peaceful. Yet underneath we hide the greed, imperialism and death of our capitalist regime.
