Source of Faulty Iraq Weapons Claims Revealed

Meet Rafid Ahmed Alwan, otherwise known as “Curve Ball” in intelligence circles.

Bush invokes 9/11 to justify torture, domestic spying and war

In a speech Thursday, President Bush invoked the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 as an all-purpose justification for his prevailing on a series of issues now in dispute in Congress: the confirmation of Michael Mukasey as attorney general despite his refusal to disavow torture; the passage of legislation to give sweeping new domestic spying powers to the federal government; and the approval of yet another emergency spending bill providing nearly $200 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Europeans Resisting EU; the Warning For America Must Be Heeded

Speakers claimed that the newly created treaty would make the EU a single legal entity with an EU head of state, an EU foreign minister, an EU police force, an EU judicial system, and an EU army.

Musharraf Imposes Emergency Rule In Pakistan Suspends Constitution

CNN Wants to Know If Ron Paul is a “Flake”

Republican presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) spoke to CNN’s Soledad O’Brian about his presidential run and his libertarian beliefs, emphasizing his view that US foreign policy is drastically amiss.

More Questions About the Minot Nukes

Clearly if such devices are standard on US nukes, as several Air Force active and retired personnel have assured me is the case, then there is no way that those weapons could have been removed from the Minot bunker by "mistake" as claimed the Air Force's official report on the incident.

The U.S.-India Nuclear Deal: Doomed if it fails and doomed if it doesn't?

By rushing the nuclear cooperation deal’s completion, the Bush administration has demonstrated its narrow priority of achieving strategic gains at the cost of undermining over 30 years of enforcing nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation policies toward India.

Bloomberg Calls for Tax on Carbon Emissions

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg announced today his support for a national carbon tax. In what his aides called one of the most significant policy addresses of his second and final term, the mayor argued that directly taxing emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change will slow global warming, promote economic growth and stimulate technological innovation — even if it results in higher gasoline prices in the short term.

Carbon dioxide is what we exhale, by the way. See also "The Global Warming Scam". -- ZDN

Bill Moyers on What’s Wrong With Our Media

Four years ago, without public input, the FCC rolled back 30 yr old rules that limited a single company’s ability to be able to dominate local TV, newspaper and radio media markets. Thankfully, the rules changes triggered a massive public response and through legislation and lawsuit, they were defeated. Now FCC chair Kevin Martin is attempting to do it again by trying to push through a similar set of changes allowing further media consolidation as soon as December 18. This time, we needn’t wait until we have been sandbagged. You can help by contacting Congress and the FCC now to stop Kevin Martin before he gets away with slipping this one by us.

Zionist Denounces Canadians Using the Internet to Bypass Zionist Propaganda

Gee, I wonder why the media is losing viewers to the internet. Could it be that we crave real news and truth, instead of passively sitting there while the likes of Adler brainwash us with their pro-Israel BS, scaremongering about terrorism and attempting to recruit support for stifling of online criticism of Zionists?
