FBI protects cocaine ring at Florida 'terror' flight school
FBI protects cocaine ring at Florida 'terror' flight school "These guys had money flowing out their ass," Keller stated. "They never seemed to run out of money. They had massive supplies of cocaine. Whenever they'd run out, they'd go over to the flight school. I followed them one day with Sabrina (a German friend of Atta's) to see where they were going, and saw them go into Florida Flight Training."

The Market in our Heads
"Disastrous consequences of enforcing neoliberal principles are clear in many country reports. The division of society into a minority that shamelessly enriches itself with the best conscience and a minority sinking into ever deeper misery is an inevitable consequence of deregulation and privatization." This article translated from the German focuses on the neoliberal model of Chile under Pinochet and the obsequiousness of Latin American intellectuals.

The complex question of wheather to vote.
These ideological debates about voting depend on the false conflation of all voting under the same umbrella of illegitimacy. I think an appropriate analysis of the complexities of this issue shows that there are occasions where it is right to vote and ones where it is not. This article does not consitute a full analysis, just some preliminary thoughts designed to contribute to the debate and spark consideration.

Check out this Report on the Pentagon's Scary New Nazi-style SS!
This report from the LA Times details the Pentagon's development of a new Covert Operations unit. Unaccountable and answering to no elected body, these "Black Ops" units will be controlled only by the Pentagon and Defense Department of Warlord Don Rumsfeld and constitute what is in effect America's version of the NAZI SS. Disguised behind the rhetoric of "fighting terrorism" this Pentagon SS in essence institutionalize the type of terrorist activities that American Covert OPerations have always engaged in--from the infamous Operation Phoenix during the Vietnam War to the drug dealing and Death Squads of Iran-Contra.

But the level of involvement in the Wellstone race is remarkable. Coleman dropped a planned gubernatorial bid after two White House pressure sessions with Bush. And now that Coleman is leaning toward a Senate race, Bush, Cheney and Rove are pulling out all the stops to make sure they are in charge of the anti-Wellstone effort.

People often ask what the so-called "anti-globalization" movement is actually for. The usual response is that we're for a lot of things, ranging from ecological sustainability to racial equality; but if there's one theme at the very center of the movement, which really sets it apart from social movements that have come before, it's its dedication to direct democracy.

The Senate is poised to pass legislation that would give federal prosecutors new powers to shut down hemp festivals, marijuana rallies and other events and punish business owners and activists for hosting or promoting them. The proposed law would also potentially subject people to enormous federal sentences if some of their guests smoked marijuana at their party or barbecue. It would also effectively make it a federal crime to rent property to medical marijuana patients and their caregivers.
