If there's anybody who doubts the importance of the Internet in the 2008 elections, a quick explanation of how Rep. Ron Paul came from nowhere to build support and collect millions of dollars online should change that.

RON PAUL'S VICTORY STATEMENT

I am honored that the voters in the 14th District expressed their continued confidence in my leadership by overwhelmingly reelecting me to the House of Representatives. I have no Democrat opponent in November and will serve another term in Congress where I will continue my battle in behalf of taxpayers.

OPEN LETTER TO GEORGE W BUSH

I have a few things I would like to say to you but I know if I write these thoughts down in a letter and mail them to you I will most likely be put on a watch list at the very least and probably will be hounded by my local FBI for daring to speak out. More than likely, if this open letter to you is printed…….I will end up on a list anyway. Even knowing that, I am determined to have my say. What follows is my take on you, your presidency, and the damage you have done to our once beautiful country.

MARTIAL LAW, INC.

Given KBR’s history related to war and violence, more light should be shed on their current activities with the Department of Homeland Security, as morality is not a concept KBR seems to understand.

TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE

Brasscheck just posted this, so i figured i'd repost it -- ZDN



The Discovery Channel bought this film and then refused to show it.

Then it won the Academy Award for best documentary.

U.S. ARMY RECRUTING OFFICE BOMBED IN NEW YORK CITY

“The fact that this appears deliberately directed at the recruiting station insults every one of our brave men and women in uniform stationed around the world fighting to defend our freedoms and the things we hold so dear,” Bloomberg said.

It's not an insult, it's a message, probably from a very frustrated person who has had enough of war for profit and the military industrial complex and the cowardly refusal of congressional yellow-bellied war profiteers to act on the will of the people. -- ZDN

SENATOR TOM HARKIN (D-IOWA) HAS A SERIOUS 'DRUG' PROBLEM

Here at NORML we are used to seeing some hysterical, unfounded claims made about the ills of cannabis. However, even we were shocked when a supporter from Iowa sent us Senator Tom Harkin’s (D, IA) raging, reefer madness-esque reply to his note asking him to justify why medicinal cannabis is still illegal after the second largest medical association in the country, the American College of Physicians, publicly backed rescheduling of cannabis and the protection of patients who use it for medicinal purposes.

KEY FIGURE IN WIRETAPPING SUIT GOES PUBLIC

March 6, 2008 - The lead plaintiff in a warrantless wiretapping lawsuit against AT&T is talking publicly about the case. Congress may grant AT&T and other firms retroactive legal immunity. That could end a flurry of lawsuits opposing the Bush administration's post-Sept. 11 eavesdropping program.

U.S. NAVY SAILOR CONVICTED IN TERRORISM PLOT

A United States Navy sailor has been convicted in federal court for leaking sensitive details about U.S. military fleet movements to Middle Eastern terrorists planning to attack the vessels when they entered a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman.

BUSH FAMILY PIGGY BANK RECEIVES DEFAULT NOTICE!

Carlyle Capital Corp. failed to meet four margin calls yesterday for $37 million, and has received notice of default from its lenders. The fund is the publicly traded arm of the Carlyle Group, the Washington D.C. equity and leveraged buyout firm that lies at the nexus of corporate and governmental power in the U.S. The Carlyle Group is the modern day source of enormous wealth for the Bush family. George H.W. Bush is a shareholder and former board member, as are key members of his administration such as Frank Carlucci, former head of the CIA, and James A. Baker, former Secretary of State.

MORE THAN 60,000 IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN VETS DIAGNOSD WITH PTSD

Jonathan Schulze was awarded two Purple Hearts in 2005 after a lengthy tour of duty in Iraq. But the Marine veteran couldn't escape the war inside his head.

JOURNALIST PERSECUTED FOR DOCUMENTING BUSH FAMILY CONNECTIONS TO NAZI REGIME

The connection between the Bush family and the Nazi regime just so happens to be well-documented in the National Archives and the U.S. Congressional Record.

And this treasonous connection, one that should have been dealt with a long time ago, was finally brought to light in 2003 by investigative reporter, John Buchanan, in an article first appearing in the New Hampshire Gazette.

BRATTLEBORO CHAMBER: TOWN 'PROUD' OR 'TREASONOUS'

"I am so proud of the wise residents of Brattleboro for voting to arrest Bush and Cheney for their crimes against the Constitution,'' RB wrote to the Chamber. "You are patriots in the best sense of the word.''

RUN FROM THE CURE: CONCENTRATED, FULL THC HEMP OIL REPORTEDLY CURES CANCER AND OTHER DISEASES

HEMP OIL IS NOT THE SAME AS “HEMP SEED OIL”. Although hemp seed oil is extremely nutritious, it does not contain the high concentrations of THC needed to cure cancers.

WHO LEAKED THE DETAILS OF A CIA-MOSSAD PLOT AGAINST IRAN?

Risen included this information in his book, "State of War: The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration," which was published in 2006. In the book, he discusses a number of ideas which he says were thought up jointly by CIA and Mossad operatives to sabotage Iran's nuclear capabilities.

One of these ideas was to build electromagnetic devices, smuggling them inside Iran to sabotage electricity lines leading to the country's central nuclear sites.

MODERN HOLOCAUST ~~ MODERN METHODS

The nazis had a rough time conducting their holocaust; first they had to round up the Jews, the Gypsies, The Communists, the Trade Unionists, the Gays, and anyone else that ‘posed a threat’ to their regime.Then they had to transport these millions of people to either forced labour camps or death camps. Afterwards there were mass burials or cremation of the victims…

Newer methods are used today by the zionists.

BUSH MAY FIRE CENTCOM CHIEF ADM. FALLON, REPLACE WITH COMMANDER MORE ‘PLIABLE’ TO WAR WITH IRAN

Fallon opposed the “surge” in Iraq and has consistently battled the Bush administration to avoid a confrontation with Iran, calling officials’ war-mongering “not helpful.” Privately, he has vowed that an attack on Iran “will not happen on my watch.”

FBI CALLS INFRAGARD STORY FALSE

The article was called “The FBI Deputizes Business.” and we posted it February 8 on our website, and then on the cover of The Progressive’s March issue.

In the story, I reported on a whistleblower, himself a member of InfraGard, who told me that InfraGard members had been given permission by the FBI and Homeland Security to “shoot to kill” in the event of martial law.

Well, on February 15, the FBI issued a press release denouncing the article.

THE TWO WINNERS OF THE 2008 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION: FEAR AND WAR

The 2008 US presidential charade has already been decided. Come November, the next White House occupant (who will be installed via political malfeasance, computer vote theft and other election “irregularities”) will be the puppet who proves to be the most effective in echoing Bush-Cheney’s “war on terrorism” lies, and expanding the Bush-Cheney “national security” agenda.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH: THE RIGHT TO EQUATE GAZA WITH AUSCHWITZ

In spite of the facts that are right in front of our eyes, in spite of the starvation in Gaza, in spite of an Israeli official admitting genocidal inclinations against the Palestinians, in spite of the mounting carnage and death, we are still afraid to admit that Gaza is a concentration camp and it is on the verge of becoming a deadly one. For some peculiar reason, many of us have yet to accept that as far as evil is concerned, Israel is the world champion in mercilessness and vengeance.

REPORTER THREATENED WITH JAIL OVER ILLEGAL SPYING STORY



A federal prosecutor has asked a grand jury to look into a book that Risen wrote. It details not only warrantless wiretapping but also how, when it came to covert operations in the Middle East, the Administration made “mistake piled on mistake” caused an “espionage disaster” and was “operating in the blind” when it came to Iran.

GAZA CONDITIONS 'AT 40-YEAR LOW'

Gaza's humanitarian situation is at its worst since Israel occupied the territory in 1967, say UK-based human rights and development groups.

CARNAGE IN GAZA: TO BLAME THE VICTIMS FOR THIS KILLING SPREE DEFIES BOTH MORALITY AND SENSE

The attempt by western politicians and media to present this week's carnage in the Gaza Strip as a legitimate act of Israeli self-defence - or at best the latest phase of a wearisome conflict between two somehow equivalent sides - has reached Alice-in-Wonderland proportions.

CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT OFFICE AT NSA HEADQUARTERS SITS EMPTY

CNN WARNS AMERICANS A NEW GREAT DEPRESSION IS COMING

The American economy is propped up on faith and credit, and Wall Street is now in a short supply of both of these essentials.

That doesn't mean, however, these commentators are not telling the truth.

THE REAL PROBLEM WITH FISA: THEY'VE GOT ALL OUR EMAIL.

We will never surrender but there will be other wars.” McCain does not say who exactly the US will be fighting in the near future.

We’re gonna have a lot of combat wounds that have to do with these terrible explosive IEDs that inflict such severe wounds. And my friends, it’s gonna be tough, we’re gonna have a lot to do.” McCain has already said that the US could be in Iraq for the next hundred years (see January 3, 2008).
