TAXPAYERS FUND BILL CLINTON SPENDING

Politico - The Clintons have made a $100-million fortune since leaving the White House, but a Politico analysis found that hasn't kept Bill Clinton from taking full advantage of the publicly funded perks offered to ex-presidents.

"THE US AIR FORCE SHOT DOWN FLIGHT 93"

US AIR FORCE SHOT DOWN FLIGHT 93

According to my roommate (and I later confirmed with the Loader) the Loader was completely silent most of the trip back to our side of the base, after they crossed the active, he spoke. "They shot one down." JJ replied "WHAT?" Loader:"One of those 16's came back with one less missile than it left with."

CHURCH THEATRE VS STREET THEATRE: NO MERCY FOR ANTI- WAR PROTESTORS ON EASTER

The six protestors began their brief action at the start of the politically conservative Cleric's sermon. But the immediacy and relevance were apparantly too much for the six hundred parishoners and their leader. The pronouncement of one million Iraqis dead, along with the reminder, "Thou shalt not kill" was not acceptable during Mass. Congregants jeered. The die-in had just begun when the six young adults were hustled out of the room by security guards, drawing applause from the audience. Bertolt Brecht would have been proud. The religious authorities handed the 'criminals' over to the civil authorities.

RECESSION, DEPRESSION, COLLAPSE: WHAT'S FEAR GOT TO DO WITH IT?

RECESSION, DEPRESSION, COLLAPSE

Interesting, isn't it, that mainstream economists need a so-called economic guru like Alan Greenspan to confirm that the U.S. economy is in recession? If the maestro says it is so, then it is. If he doesn't, then the "downturn" has a silver lining. And now we have the Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson, stating what the American public has known all too well during the past year: "The economy has taken a sharp downturn." Gee, Mr. Paulson, you get the understatement of the year award because what Americans have also discovered is that the middle class is now almost extinct after only a few decades of having one-thanks to you and your friends at Goldman Sachs.

WHY DOES IRVING KRISTOL'S AND GERTRUDE HIMMELFARB'S SON WANT THE U.S. TO INVADE IRAN?

"Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing eventâ€“â€“like a new Pearl Harbor" (51)

And that new Pearl Harbor came on September 11, 2001, giving chickenhawks and war mongers like Kristol the excuse they'd been dreaming of--if not planning for--to help shove the U.S. into fighting endless wars in the ME.

THE CHILDREN OF GAZA

CHILDREN OF GAZA

Gaza, Asharq Al-Awsat- 10 year old Khamis Wafi has good reason to be happy; it is the first time he has not jumped at the sound of a balloon bursting. This "achievement" was the result of treatment supervised by Ali Nasman, a psychiatrist who is caring for dozens of Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip, specifically in the northern regions, for the shocks that they have suffered as a result of the sounds of explosions launched during Israeli operations that targeted the Gaza Strip, in particular during Operation Hot Winter that began at the end of February.

IKE'S WARNING ON MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IGNORED

MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

"For most Americans...the Complex is a powerful engine that helps drive our world, a vast system of systems, a Matrix, hidden in plain sight. The Complex thrives on the very obliviousness of the civilian population to its existence in the world it has made so much its own. But, if you look closely, it can suddenly come into focus and be seen almost everywhere."

SKEWED REPORTING FROM THE IRAQ WAR THEATER. BASRA BATTLES: BARELY HALF THE STORY

When it comes to Iraq, reporters appear intent on omitting or fabricating news.

The latest battles in Basra, Iraq's second largest city and a vital oil seaport, furnished ample instances of misleading and manipulative practice in corporate journalism today. One commonly used tactic is to describe events using self-styled or "official" terminology, which deliberately confuses the reader by giving no real indication or analysis of what is actually happening.

THE US SPONSORED "RWANDA GENOCIDE" AND ITS AFTERMATH

In October 1990, the Ugandan army and the Rwandan Patriotic Front/Army (RPF/A) led by Major General Paul Kagame invaded Rwanda.1 This action set in motion a course of history that determined the fate of millions of innocent people in Central Africa.

IS THE CIA BEHIND THE CHINA-BASHING OLYMPICS PROTESTS?

Around the world, Beijing's hosting of the 2008 Olympic Games has become the target of unprecedented, well-orchestrated and extremely hostile mass protests.

Meanwhile, geostrategic realities, and historical and current parapolitical fact, suggest that the protesters and passionate activists (in time-honored form) have once again become the willing dupes, propaganda shills, and street bullies for "causes" created, fronted, and pushed by Anglo-American intelligence agencies (CIA, British intelligence, etc.) that continue to target a government (this time Beijing), in a host of long-term subversion and sabotage plans.

EVIL IRAN, THE NEW AL-QAEDA

Coming from the two top surrogates to Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain, the Lieberman-Graham piece - a preemptive strike proclaiming the success of the "surge" - should be taken as the very essence of McCain's foreign policy, a presidential candidate that still can't tell the difference between a Sunni and a Shi'ite. As it happens, it is also a formidable piece of fiction. The overall martial theme remains unmistakable: we need war, war, war.

US NAVY CLAIMS TO TURN AWAY BOATS IN PERSIAN GULF, IRAN DENIES REPORTS OF CONFRONTATION

CNN television reported that the boats were Iranian and engaged in a "mild" and "taunting" confrontation with a US warship in the Gulf late Thursday.

However, a source in the navy of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards denied Friday there had been any "confrontation" with US ships, according to Iran's Al-Alam Arabic television.

LIEBERMAN, BENNETT, AND KRISTOL SEE PETRAEUS HEARING AS AN ARGUMENT' FOR GOING INTO IRAN'

On his radio show this morning, Bill Bennett told the Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol who had a personal meeting with President Bush yesterday that a "conclusion" he drew was that the hearing was "less an argument for getting out of Iraq than going into Iran." After suggesting that Iran may "have to pay some price at some point on their own soil," Kristol said that President Bush authorizing an attack of some kind before he leaves office is not "out of the question"

MILITARY INTEGRATION: ANOTHER STEP TOWARD THE NORTH AMERICAN UNION

An article titled "Canada, U.S. Agree To Use Each Other's Troops In Civil Emergencies" appeared on CanwestNews Service on February 22, 2008. According to the report, Canada and the U.S. have signed an agreement that paves the way for the militaries of either nation to send troops across their borders during emergencies. This agreement was signed in Texas on February 14th, but neither the Canadian government nor the Canadian Forces announced it.

MEDIA DISINFORMATION AND THE BBC

At a time of growing public disenchantment with the major media, millions now rely on alternate sources. Many online and print ones are credible. One of the world's most relied on is not - the BBC. It's an imperial tool, as corrupted as its dominant counterparts, been around longer than all of them, now in it for profit, and it's vital that people know who BBC represents and what it delivers.

THURSDAY: 1 US SOLDIER, 68 IRAQIS KILLED; 74 IRAQIS WOUNDED

Fighting in Sadr City has subsided dramatically, but violence still took the lives of 68 Iraqis across Iraq. Almost half of them were found in a mass grave. At least 74 Iraqis were wounded as well. An American soldier was killed during an overnight IED attack in Baghdad, and two U.S. soldiers were wounded in separate events. Also, the U.S. government has shifted focus from calling al-Qaeda groups the biggest threat in Iraq.

BUSH HALTS TROOP CUTS, SAYS WAR "NOT ENDLESS"

CLINTON FIRM'S DEAL LEFT PENNSYLVANIA CHURCHES IN SHAMBLES

There is an old axiom of government: all politics is local.

And while the saying is clich, it can certainly prove true. How else does one explain the connection between former President Clinton, a hot shot Italian real estate speculator, and several Pennsylvania church-buying ventures that went terribly wrong?

CLASHES KILL 13 IN BAGHDAD'S SADR CITY

SWAT RAIDS ANOTHER WRONG HOME, CALLS ERROR ''MISTAKE"

Despite the mother's plea to authorities that they had stormed the wrong address, agents proceeded to search the home. "Her son was in the bedroom sleeping and she was in the living room," said a female relative of the mother. "She said she looked outside of the window and was on her way to open the door, but [SWAT members] had already kicked it in with guns [in hand]. Meanwhile, she's telling them 'Please, my son is in the bedroom.'"

IRAQ: FROM ONE DICTATOR TO THE NEXT

CHENEY COLD-SHOULDERED

There is talk of new wars across the Middle East this summer - and there is nothing new about that. What is new is the reaction of America's closest allies in the Arab world to the latest outbreak of belligerent rhetoric. Led by Saudi Arabia, the Gulf states, and Egypt, they have indicated they don't like the war talk from Vice-President Cheney and his team.

ADMINISTRATION SET TO USE NEW SPY PROGRAM IN U.S.

TOP BUSH AIDES DIRECTED TORTURE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE

Senior Bush administration officials, including Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, participated in White House meetings to discuss and approve specific methods of torture of detainees in the custody of US security forces, according to media reports.

THE MEDIA PUTS IRAQ ALL SNUG INTO BEDWHILE VISIONS OF CELEBRITIES DANCE IN OUR HEAD...

The Iraq war has cost over 4,000 American soldiers their lives. More than 100,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed. The price of oil has more than tripled. And total economic costs of the war through 2008, according to the congressional Joint Economic Committee, have already reached $1.3 trillion.

And yet, ongoing news about the war has nearly dropped off the mainstream media radar.

CANDID CAMERA: TROVE OF VIDEOS VEXES WAL-MART

Among the revealing moments: A former executive vice president and board member challenges store managers in 2004 to continue his work opposing unionization. Male managers in drag lead thousands of co-workers in the company's corporate cheer. In another meeting, managers mock foolish or dangerous use of a product sold in its stores. In 1991, founder Sam Walton describes Hillary Clinton, then a Wal-Mart director, as "one of us."

EVIDENCE IS GROWING: CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT PLAN IS CURRENTLY IN EFFECT

one of the top investigative journalists in the country, Larisa Alexandrovna (the lead journalist at Raw Story), says:

"it seems to me that this administration has justified its crimes by NOT suspending the state of emergency that went up on September 11, 2001. They are using emergency powers if you look at the whole of the spying, military actions inside the US, etc. I would wager that if asked, this administration will admit that we have been in a state of emergency for their tenure in office."

Remember that Continuity of Government plans -- that is, the measures that go into effect in case of emergency -- suspend the Constitutional form of government, cut elected officials out of the loop, and may even allow the government to tell the media what it can and cannot report.

TWO DOCUMENTARIES ABOUT HIV AND AIDS: WHAT CERTAIN GOVERNMENTS AND CORPORATIONS DO NOT WANT US TO KNOW

“The Origins of AIDS” is a must see award winning documentary about the hypothesis that “the HIV virus was first transmitted to children in the Belgian Congo via contaminated polio vaccine” between 1957 and 1960, and how the scientific community has protected those responsible for this catastrophe while condemning those seeking the truth.

Deconstructing the Myth of AIDS’ goes beyond medicine and science to question the very foundation of our reliance on government bureaucracies where it concerns matters of life and death.

WHAT EVERY AMERICAN NEEDS TO KNOW: HOW TO STOP THE BANKS FROM TAKING YOUR HOME

while the Federal Reserve bails out banks with American taxes, some American citizens have learned to fend for themselves and in the process keep their homes, free of charge. All they are doing is asking the courts for proof that the banks own the mortgage notes that they claim to own. Since many of these banks did not keep proper records, submitting the paperwork to the courts is proving to be a lot harder then they thought.

FORMER AL GOV. DON SIEGELMAN SAYS MEDIA IGNORING DETAILS OF HIS 'ELECTRONICALLY STOLEN' 2002 ELECTION

The other, more important thing is this: As you may or may not know, the one aspect of your long ordeal that the press has stubbornly refused to mention--or, I think, even to perceive--is the theft of that election in 2002. Like you, I believe that that was crucial; but the press, quite typically, won't mention it. Frankly, I believe that they, and most leading Democrats, are in denial about it, as its implications are too frightening. Just as they've looked away from all the evidence of vast election fraud throughout Bush/Cheney's reign, therefore, they've also looked away from the subversion of that gubernatorial race in Alabama. And so that chapter of your story is unknown to most Americans, even those who've lately heard the rest of it.

Access to free primary health care and dentistry – through the public health reform program known as Mission Barrio Adentro (“Mission Inside the Barrio”) – is one of the most important improvements that the residents of José Félix Ribas say they have experienced under Chávez.
