The George Bush Joke
The pot calling the kettle black
Apparently, George Bush is indignant over Robert Mugabe's recent election fraud in Zimbabwe.
Is this some kind of a sick joke?
The US news media is running video that documents some of the fraud in Zimbabwe.
How about running some about election fraud in the US?
Eight years of George Bush and his criminal enterprise and he won neither the 2000 nor the 2004 election.
This video comes from a recent election held in New Hampshire, but similar chicanery takes place in every state in the union.

Everything I am about to write is a true story about the 4th of July this weekend and
for each member who supports war to think about.
My profile shows that I am a wife of a combat VN vet who never does very well on
the 4th probably more than any other holiday. He will pretty much stay in our bedroom
and read, mostly the bible. We always go to see the fireworks however, for the kids.
The bombs bursting in air? This year was a little different. My husband will almost cry when he
hears the loud bomb like thunderous explostions in the sky, but he holds the hand of our little
ones
and points to the sky. This year it was our little 3 year old that we are raising that put her
hands over her ears and said, "I don't like it Mom." It's too loud. I'm afraid. She has been going
to the fireworks show since she was born but this year, getting out of the baby baby stage, She
actually listens to sounds and observes the sights in life.
We discovered she didn't like it. At all.
She said, " i don't like it. I don't like it. It makes me afraid. We brought her home and was
getting her ready for bed, she clung to me as a few firecrackers were still going off next
doot that sounded like gunshots. I mind wandered to the Middle East and every war we have
fought. I thought, My goodness, the children. Those precious children.
I thought of Shock and Awe and how the babies, the toddlers had no idea of the thunderous
sounds and the lights that lit up the sky. Only there was real danger. Those were not replicas
of bombs bursting in air, those were real bombs. As she clung to me tighter I sat her in my lap
and rocked her gently. I closed my eyes and sung a lullaby as she drifted off to sleep, making
a promise to her, if she didn't like that loud noise, we wouldn't go see any more fireworks till
she wanted to. I kept rocking and she laid silently to my breast. I heard my husband strumming
his guitar from the other room. It was a hymnal. I then thought of the soldier from past to
present. I thought of the pain the solider endures on return from war scarred forever with
startle reaction and PTSD. I thought of the thorn in their head they live with and especially
the reminder of destruction with bombs bursting in air and then looking over at the children
thinking.....we must leave war behind. I thought of the Iraqi Mother who could not tell her
child, there would be no more explosions in the air. I thought of the soldier who will become a veteran and cannot
hide from the horrors of the war and it will torment him or her throughtout
their lives. I thought of the argument of We have to fight there to keep from fighting here.
Does that make it right? No. Those children of Iraq are scarred for life. Those veterans
are scarred for life. Those veterans who have been diagnosed with PTSD will never again
enjoy but endure a fireworks show, and the children if they survive will be happy to hear
as our little three year old granddaughter said, "Peace and Quite". No thunder booms in the air.
War is a such a waste and I thought of the bible verse, What does it profit a man if he
gain the world and lose his soul?
No more War.

Who stands up for real American values?
Spoken before the US invaded Iraq
"We can call ouselves Americans. We can fly the American flag, but unless we stand up and defend the values that define us as Americans, we will cease being Americans."
Scott Ritter gave this talk before the US invaded Iraq. As a former US Marine Corps officer, UN weapons inspector and expert on the armaments of Iraq, he very publicly disputed the Bush adminstration's claim that Iraq was a threat to the US.
Now the US is on the same path with regards to war against Iran.
Learn what you can do to help stop another illegal, immoral,and reckless use of US power in the world. Get and Scott's book "Waging Peace."

Fuel from algae
There are some things missing from this story like what does a gallon of fuel cost made from this method cost.
Also, one quarter of "the one quarter of the state of New Mexico" referred to is about 30,000 square miles.
On the other hand, assuming that this method really works, it's an infinitely better solution that turning corn or other food crops into fuel.

Provoking Iran into war
Stumbling towards disaster - again
Bush asked for - and received - $400,000,000 to conduct covert military operation against Iran.
A quote from the recent Sy Hersch article in the New Yorker
"Operations outside the knowledge and control of commanders have eroded “the coherence of military strategy,” one general says."
Further, it seems the only people in the government (or military) who favor an attack on Iran are Bush and Cheney:
"A Democratic senator told me that, late last year, in an off-the-record lunch meeting, Secretary of Defense Gates met with the Democratic caucus in the Senate. (Such meetings are held regularly.) Gates warned of the consequences if the Bush Administration staged a preëmptive strike on Iran, saying, as the senator recalled, “We’ll create generations of jihadists, and our grandchildren will be battling our enemies here in America.” Gates’s comments stunned the Democrats at the lunch, and another senator asked whether Gates was speaking for Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney. Gates’s answer, the senator told me, was “Let’s just say that I’m here speaking for myself.” (A spokesman for Gates confirmed that he discussed the consequences of a strike at the meeting, but would not address what he said, other than to dispute the senator’s characterization.)
The Joint Chiefs of Staff, whose chairman is Admiral Mike Mullen, were “pushing back very hard” against White House pressure to undertake a military strike against Iran, the person familiar with the Finding told me. Similarly, a Pentagon consultant who is involved in the war on terror said that “at least ten senior flag and general officers, including combatant commanders”—the four-star officers who direct military operations around the world—“have weighed in on that issue.”

The Bush Family's Best Buddies
A very special relationship
Over the years, the Saudi Royal Family has put at least $1.4 billion into the hands of the Bush family and its friends.
That's "billion" with a "b."
Even in these days of inflation, that's real money.
Did Bush go to Saudi Arabia to ask for lower oil prices or to assure the Saudis they could keep sticking it to us as long as he and his family were given their cut?
Far-fetched?
Don't be too surprised.
In the days right after 9/11, all commercial flights in US air space including those for Congressmen, the private jets of billionaires, and transportation for donated organs*** were shut down.
There was one exception...
The White House arranged for dozens of still unnamed Saudi Arabians - including members of the House of Saud and the Bin Laden family - living in the US to be flown out of the country in style.
The FBI didn't think it was necessary to get a passenger list...but show up at a peace rally and they'll be sure to get your face on video and add your name to their database if you're arrested at one.
The US news media didn't think this post 9/11 mercy flight for Bush's personal friends was worth investigating.
==============================
From: House of Bush, House of Saud: The secret relationship between the world's most powerful dynasties by Craig Unger
"September 13, 2001 - Thousands of Americans were dead. They have been killed in a terrorist operation largely run by Saudis. Nonetheless the two men (Bush and Prince Bandar Of Saudi Arabia) each lit up a Cohiba cigar (on the Truman balcony of the White House)...
Few Americans realized that these two dynasties had a history dating back more than twenty years. Not just business partners and personal friends, the Bushes and the Saudis had pulled off elaborate covert operations and gone to war together...
They had been involved in the Iran-contra scandal, in secret U.S. aid in the Afghanistan War that gave birth of Osama bin Laden." pg. 15.

We all knew the Iraq Invasion was BS
More media flim flam
The US news media likes to pretend that Americans supported Bush's fraudulent, unprovoked attack on Iraq five years ago.
They're "shocked" to now discover that there "may" have been some "misstatement" of facts by the Bush administration at the time.
Good story. Too bad it's total bullshit.
Over 30% of Americans - even in the midst of Nazi-like war hysteria drummed up by media outlets like Clear Channel - were firmly opposed to the invasion before it took place.
Furthermore, millions in the US and around the world took to the streets in protest of the pending atrocity.
We all knew Bush could not be trusted to tell the truth and that his family has a long record of selling out the country to make a buck.
This is only news to the venal morons who report the news in the US.
Over 1,000,000 Iraqi civilians dead as a direct result of the invasion to date.

Who´s driving the war?
Scott McClellan goes mute
Interesting...
Scott McClelan can attack his former boss, but he can't seem to mention the word "neocon" or "Israel" in connection with the US drive to war in the Middle East, first in Iraq and now Iran.
Who runs American foreign policy in the Middle East?
It's an open secret.
Hint: It's not us.

LIEBERMAN MUST GO
We CANNOT tolerate a leader of the Senate Democratic Caucus who supports George Bush and McCain's War in Iraq. We CANNOT tolerate a Democratic chairman of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee who endorses and stumps for McCain. We call on the Senate Democratic Steering Committee to strip Joe Lieberman of his chairmanship and his leadership role.

The Energy Non-Crisis
Is the oil crisis being manufactured?
Lindsey Williams says it is.He was crystal clear over a year ago that gasoline was headed straight to $4.00 a gallon and he says he knows why.
Williams became an oil industry insider by virtue of his success at mediating labor disputes in the Alaska oil fields.
Little did his colleagues know, he had no intention to become a "good old boy."

John McCain in Neverland
He's running on his military record
Too bad he can't tell the truth to save this life.
McCain's pet domestic project: advancing the Republican plan to "privatize" Social Security.
Privatize is a code word for transfering Social Security assets to Wall Street.
There will be massive commissions made on this deal, something McCain who was shoulder deep in the S & L fraud of the 1980s understands very well.

Dollars, Oil and the Big Wipe Out
The Petro-Dollar War
The first thing the US did when it invaded and took over Iraq was reverse Saddam Hussein's recently policy of demanding Euros in payment for his countries oil.
Some think that's what the war was all about and that Iran's insistence on receiving Euros for its oil is the real reason that country has been targeted.
Dollars? Euros? What's the difference?
The difference is this...if you are the dominant currency, you can support your lifestyle and war machine by printing more when you run out.
Take that power away and there will be a very economic painful dislocation in the US.

The first video is from India.I'm not sure what country the second one is from, but the language is Arabic.

I'm not so sure how light-hearted I'd feel about a country as mad with power and lacking in morality as ours has become.
We're very lucky for the residual good will we somehow manage to retain.

No.
But you can see it on Brasscheck TV.

ORDET ÄR FRITT
Nu får det snart vara slut på eländet!
Nu rinner vattnet i bägaren över. Tusentals människor riskerar att bli av med sin sjukpenning. Ett klubbslag av den borgerliga majoriteten i riksdagen den 4 juni skapar bara nya pålagor för sjuka människor och vanligt folk. Arbetslösa står också i en strykklass för sig.
Samtidigt ser vi hur redan välbeställda får den ena skattesänkningen efter den andra. Mest åt den som har det bäst. Sedan regeringsskiftet upplever vi bara hur klyftorna ökar.
Högerregeringen Reinfeldt kan inte stava till rättvisa. Än mindre förstå vad rättvis fördelning innebär. Regeringspolitiken leds istället av devisen: Åt dem som har ska varda givet. Och gärna ännu mer.
Det är nu hög tid att vända ryggen åt en hjärtlös politik.

Vi lever i den tillsammans, samtidigt - världen
För några veckor sedan mördade israeliska soldater Fahmi Abd al-Jawaad al-Darduk, vid checkpointen i Huwara, i Nablus. Han blev femton år gammal.Har man upplevt den tunga, kväljande doften av förnedring vid en israelisk checkpoint – det räcker med en kvart – kan man inte vara oberörd i sin syn på vad som pågår i Mellanöstern. Det är som Anna Wester skriver:

Bush´s Private Army
Coming to a city near you?
Produced by the US magazine The Nation.
No one knows for sure, but it's believed that as much as 40% of the military budget goes to private contractors including private armies.
There are thousands of private mercenaries operating on behalf of the US in Iraq and elsewhere around the world. Nearly 1,000 have been killed in Iraq alone, but their casualties are not counted. Nor has Congress been able to discover exactly how many mercenaries the US employs there.
One of these firms, Blackwater USA, a big supporter of George Bush, is now deploying in the US. They were present in New Orleans after the levee collapses.

Sands of Sorrow - 1950
A people made homeless (1950)
There is an astonishing amount of ignorance about the basic facts of the so-called Arab-Israeli conflict.This footage was shot in the late 1940s to educate the public about the plight of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who had been made homeless as a result of the violence and intimidation that accompanied the founding of the state of Israel.
What most Palestinians thought would be a temporary dislocation lasting only a few weeks at most became permanent. Homeless with just the clothes on their backs, they were left in the desert without food, water, and medical care to die.
