No yellow ribbons from this ex-marine populist 2006-04-06 3:47 PM
We can and should support troops-to-be, but do so before they become troops. We should post a warning sign, and disclaimer, in all recruiting stations. Prospective enlistees should be told that their new employer will not be the Department of Defense, but the Department of War; and that their service will not be in the defense of freedom and democracy, but in the building of an empire for America's powerful elite. And that their countrymen, for all the yellow ribbons and pseudo-patriotic talk, will ultimately blame them for the added terrorism they instigate with their wars. Just like there is truth in lending, we should demand truth in recruitment. (text/html)

Another Surreal Day in the Age of Bush William Hughes 2006-04-05 11:34 PM

The baseball season opened on April 3, 2006. President George W. Bush was in Cincinnati and tossed out the “ceremonial” pitch. Jay Leno said it went off to the “far right.” Meanwhile, nine brave U.S. troops were killed in Iraq on that day; one for every inning Bush was at the game. Zacarias Moussaoui, a suspected mental case, faces the death penalty for 9/11. Also, corruption-tainted Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX) fears a hammering from the justice system. (image/jpeg)

On 9/11: Was the Asbestos-Laced World Trade Center "Disposable"? anAmerican 2006-04-04 7:04 PM
Millions in the U.S. and worldwide now know there is evidence that 9/11 was an "inside job"; "false-flag," state-sponsored terrorism to provide a pretext for a premeditated war. But in exposing this evidence, the 9/11 Truth effort is also shedding light on a significant story-within-the-story: that the World Trade Center (WTC) was obsolete and asbestos-laced, and that its destruction on 9/11 may, for certain interests in the U.S., have been both desirable and profitable--independent of any interest in war.

The Maple Leaf Re-opening Brian Denzer 2006-04-03 2:21 AM
Despite the devastation of much of the city, curfews, the lack of electricity and the terror of pitch black streets, a slice of New Orleans culture was resurrected just a few weeks after Hurricane Katrina. The Maple Leaf Bar re-opening was an act of defiance against hopelessness. Guitarist Walter Wolfman Washington drove all the way down from Ohio for the occasion. This segment was produced in October 2005, intended to be a WTUL broadcast -- but the radio station wouldn't be back on air until December. 4.5 mb, 11 min, 56 kbps. (audio/mpeg)

The Only Hope For the World populist 2006-04-02 4:38 PM
I see only one way out; a metamorphic leap of faith, an about face in the way we think, a decision to let go of everything that we, as a nation, once held dear, an understanding that the world will surely end unless we recognize the fact that we have no choice but to embrace our enemy as our brother, the one, without whom, we will never find peace, a brother-in-arms, enchained from head to toe, with whom we will either drown, or, together, might be allowed to live for yet another day....

Whatever Happened to Empathy? populist 2006-03-30 7:04 PM
Whatever happened to empathy? How did the world suddenly become inhabited by good, red-blooded Americans and a bunch of gooks, slopes, ragheads, hadjis and any other pejorative which makes them seem less than human? How did the world suddenly become us and them? How is it that no one's beliefs and concerns have validity except ours? How has it come about that the world is now divided between us, our few allies, and a world of terrorists? (text/html)

Johnny Carson interviews Jim Garrison reposted 2006-03-28 6:33 PM
author: remembering the past At the website of the late Col. Fletcher Prouty you can still hear echoes reverberating from Dealey Plaza, in very Lo-Fi streaming audio. Since I could not find a transcript of this famous 1967 television broadcast online to me help clarify some of the garbled details, I set out to produce one, in order to restore and preserve the fidelity of an echo.

Chad: ACTUS condemns the french intervention in Chad. Dr LEY-NGARDIGAL Djimadoum 2006-03-27 6:28 PM
This n-th intervention of the French colonial troops to support the dictators in Africa and in the Chad throw of the opprobrium on a country which claims to defend democracy and human rights in the World. The regime of the General - president Idriss Déby Itno is responsible for the murder of more Chadian 25000 in 16 years of dictatorship according to the reports of the associations of the rights of the Man. Never of memory of Chadian, the country knew such a level of misery: The President and the regime specialized in the systematic diversions of the public deniers. Chad occupies the 173éme places on 177 countries according to The classification 2005 IDH of the PNUD and the first place for the corruption according to Transparency International's report on 2005. Hospitals miss cruelly medicines and became of real old people's homes, the civil servants add up more than 24 months of back pays, no infrastructure is constructed. The country sinks into the abyss.
