The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it. -- Albert Einstein

MCCAIN LOVES WAR, SAYS TRACK RECORDMcCain defended Bush’s rationale for war. Asked if he thought the president exaggerated the case for war, McCain said, “I don’t think so.” [Fox News, 7/31/03] McCain voted against holding Bush accountable for his actions in the war. McCain opposed the creation of an independent commission to investigate the development and use of intelligence leading up to the war in Iraq. [S. Amdt. 1275 to H.R. 2658, Vote # 284, 7/16/03] Senator McCain repeatedly voted against a timetable for withdrawing troops from Iraq. [S. Amdt. 3876 to S.Amdt. 3874 to H.R. 2764, Vote #438, 12/18/07; S.Amdt.. 3875 to S.Amdt.. 3874 to H.R. 2764, Vote # 437, 12/18/07; S.Amdt.3164 to H.R. 3222, Vote # 362, 10/3/07; S.Amdt. 2898 to S.Amdt. 2011 to H.R. 1585, Vote #346, 9/21/07; S.Amdt. 2924 to S.Amdt.. 2011 to H.R.1585, Vote #345, 9/21/07; S.Amdt.2 087 to S.Amdt. 2011 to H.R. 1585, Vote #252, 7/18/07; S.Amdt. 643 to H.R. 1591, Vote #116, 3/27/07; S.Amdt. 4320 to S. 2766, Vote #182, 6/22/06; S.Amdt. 4442 to S. 2766, Vote #181, 6/22/06; S.Amdt.. 2519 to S.1042, Vote # 322, 11/15/05] McCain: “I believe to set a date for withdrawal is to set a date for surrender.” [Charlotte Observer, 9/16/07] EXXON WINS FREEZE ON $12 BILLION OF VENEZUELAN ASSETSNEW YORK (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N: Quote, Profile, Research) has won court orders freezing up to $12 billion in Venezuelan assets around the world as it fights for compensation for operations lost to President Hugo Chavez's nationalization drive. WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH PICKETS MIKE HUCKABEE IN KANSASHuckabee has recently equated homosexuality with pedophilia and has suggested that AIDS victims should be quarantined, but apparently that just isn’t enough hatred of teh gay for these people. ARMY OFFERS $40K RECRUITING BONUS TO H.S. GRADSThe bonuses are scaled to the amount of time spent on active duty. For example, the Army offers $25,000 for three years. And you don't get the money until you finish your commitment. MORE BOMBING CREATES NEW ENEMIES"The use of B1 bombers shows the terrible failure of the U.S. campaign in Iraq," Iraqi Major General Muhammad al-Azzawy, a military researcher in Baghdad, told IPS. "U.S. military and political tactics failed in this area, and that is why this massacre. This kind of bombing is usually used for much bigger targets than small villages full of civilians. This was savagery." MUKASEY AND THE ‘GET OUT OF JAIL FREE’ CARDWe have now the Attorney General of the United States telling Congress that it’s not against the law for the President to violate the law if his own Department of Justice says it’s not. INCARCERATION NATION: THE RISE OF A PRISON-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEXThe US has a higher incarceration rate than China , Russia, Iran, Zimbabwe and Burma - countries American politicians often berate for their human rights violations. AP POLL: LEAVING IRAQ WILL HELP ECONOMYThe heck with Congress' big stimulus bill. The way to get the country out of recession — and most people think we're in one — is to get the country out of Iraq, according to an Associated Press-Ipsos poll. WHAT IS THIS 'IRAQ WAR' CHARGE ON MY BILL?JEREMY SCAHILL INTERVIEWS DAHR JAMAIL FOR THE NATIONDahr Jamail has spent more time reporting from Iraq than almost any other US journalist. His new book, Beyond the Green Zone: Dispatches from an Unembedded Journalist in Occupied Iraq, is a chronicle of his experiences there. He recently sat down with Nation correspondent Jeremy Scahill to talk about the supposed "success" of Bush's troop surge, what would happen if Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton wins the White House and why he believes an immediate withdrawal from Iraq is the only way to peace. VENEZUELA DENIES OIL ASSET FREEZEVenezuela's state-run oil firm has denied that US oil giant Exxon Mobil had won a court order to freeze up to $12bn (£6bn) of its assets. BLOGGING CPAC: RON PAUL ON PRESIDENTIAL STEROIDSOne really, really interesting thing I observed was the amount of applause Romney supporters gave Ron Paul. Other than on the foreign policy issue, they were cheering as loudly as the Ron Paul supporters. The McCain supporters were not cheering, but sat with their arms crossed, for the most part. THE UNENDING TORTURE OF 15-YEAR OLD OMAR KHADRProsecutors claim that Khadr conspired with al Qaeda for five years. That would make him ten years old when he began his “conspiring”. He was initially taken to Afghanistan by his father. Government prosecutors have not even acknowledged the possibility that the association of a ten-year old boy with alleged terrorists may not have been completely voluntary. THE BLUE PILL PEOPLE“The Matrix” may be only a movie, but it presents some scenarios with much relevance to our current situation. DHS CHECKPOINT VIDEOWhile watching the video, please consider the professionalism of these so-called 'Border Patrol' agents that are more interested in harassing individuals absent reasonable suspicion than patrolling the border. Also ask yourself how much illegal traffic crossed the border forty miles to the South while over 12 Homeland Security agents played domination games along a public highway that never intersects the border at any point. MCCAIN: FLIP FLOPPING INTO THE WHITE HOUSEBRITAIN IS SLITHERING DOWN THE ROAD TOWARDS A POLICE STATEThe machine is out of control. Personal surveillance in Britain is so extensive that no democratic oversight is remotely plausible. Some 800 organisations, including the police, the revenue, local and central government, demanded (and almost always got) 253,000 intrusions on citizen privacy in the last recorded year, 2006. This is way beyond that of any other country in the free world. WAL-MART, TARGET AND OTHER CHAINS CONTINUE TO SELL BABY BOTTLES MADE WITH CONTROVERSIAL CHEMICAL BPADespite more than two years of warnings about the possible dangers of the chemical bisphenol A (BPA), manufacturers continue to widely use it to make baby bottles, toys and beverage containers, and stores like Wal-Mart, Target, and Toys "R" Us continue to carry the products, according to a new study from the Center for Health Environment and Justice, a Virginia-based environmental activist organization. CLARITY SOUGHT ON ELECTRONICS SEARCHESNabila Mango, a therapist and a U.S. citizen who has lived in the country since 1965, had just flown in from Jordan last December when, she said, she was detained at customs and her cellphone was taken from her purse. Her daughter, waiting outside San Francisco International Airport, tried repeatedly to call her during the hour and a half she was questioned. But after her phone was returned, Mango saw that records of her daughter's calls had been erased. WAKE UP, MARINE, AND GET WITH THE PROGRAM !I suggest that you turn off your television set, review the oath you took upon enlistment and/or commission into the USMC, read the Bill of Rights if not the entire U.S. Constitution, and look into the unconstitutional legislation and removal of our liberties which has occurred over the past 7 years and then ask yourself if you have done all that you could to honor your oath. WHY IS THE U.S. IS PAYING FOR IRAN’S NUCLEAR PROGRAM?The U.S. Energy Department is subsidizing two Russian nuclear institutes that are building key parts of a reactor in Iran that the United States spent years trying to stop, according to a House committee. U.S. ECONOMY'S DESCENT STEEPENSLONDON: Job losses and a contraction in the business sector where more than 80 percent of Americans work show that the angle of descent for the U.S. economy is steepening. THE FBI DEPUTIZES BUSINESSToday, more than 23,000 representatives of private industry are working quietly with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. BARACK OBAMA AND THE EUPHORIA OF MADNESSIt is both sad and simultaneously horribly fascinating to observe so many euphorically pinning their hopes and dreams on Barack Obama, a chameleon who speaks liberally of “change” but who is, himself, beholden to the very same blood-sucking corporate vampires (including Lockheed and others) who are ravaging the peoples of America, and the entire planet. |
