The Free Ride of George W. Bush - Elective Amnesia

March 16th, 2013

Michael Collins

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. George Santayana

George Bush lost the 2000 election by half a million votes. When the state of Florida wanted to recount votes, Bush operatives disrupted the disreputable Florida elections commissions that held the key to a fair count. But there was no point. Lists of felons from the Governor Bush Texas government were used to knock 50,000 legally registered voters off the Florida voting lists. Many of whom were minority voters. Turnout in Florida was very high. Without that preemptive strike, there would have been no recount necessary. Bush would have lost Florida outright. The 2000 election was stolen. (Image)

Bush got in and immediately planned an invasion of Iraq, the greatest foreign policy disaster in the history of the country. The true cost is over three trillion dollars.

Commander in chief Bush presided over a profound command failure leading up to 9/11by failing to acknowledge overwhelming intelligence evidence of a plot to attack U.S. skyscrapers with airplanes. The military command was so disarrayed; the U.S. Air Force could only mount a few fighters in defense and they arrived late.

DEATH OF A LION / HUGO CHAVEZ 1954 - 2013

March 16th, 2013

Allen L Roland

Larger than life and now larger than death ~ Hugo Chavez will not be forgotten. His permanently displayed embalmed body will be a constant reminder of his righteous indignation of the imperialistic West and our illegal wars of occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as his empowering commitment to the Latin American poor and disenfranchised which even extended to the United States:

"Like Bolívar, Chávez swore to break the chains binding Latin Americans to the will of the mighty. Within his lifetime, the ties of dependency and indirect empire have loosened" Oscar Guardiola-Rivera

Every lifetime personalities emerge whose personality, presence and commitment transcend politics and they stand alone at the pinnacle of human achievement. Nelson Mandela is one of these people as is Martin Luther King Jr but the irrepressible Hugo Chavez also belongs on that same world stage.

Global Peace and Security: America Needs Soul Searching

March 16th, 2013

Mahboob A. Khawaja, PhD.

Today, the Obama administration was quick to blame Hamad Karzai- the puppet president of Afghanistan for his remarks of “ America colluding with the Talaban.” Talabans are not intruders but native people and political organization of Afghanistan. America and its allies are aggressors and are called occupation forces. The crucial challenge Obama faces is how to exit from Afghanistan and to cope with change and adaptability to a New Beginning that he envisaged but betrayed by conscientious compromise to ensure his own political survival. Paul Craig Roberts called him “The World’s Least Powerful Man – the Obama Puppet.” Obama did not pave the way to hell for the unwanted wars but found it already in place by George Bush to keep on solo walking to entrapment - the Madness of Unthinking. Obama needs people of new ideas to deal with the future. Surely, Obama administration without help from Pakistan and Iran cannot effectively disembark from Afghanistan. What a tragedy that American strategic planners are so ignorant of the facts on the ground. They always THINK BIG and get hurt and lost. American politicians failed to learn anything from the present and past. For all its wrong thinking, American politicians continue to use the false pretext of 9/11 to encroach other nations.

Axing the Death Penalty in Maryland!

March 16th, 2013

by Bill Hughes

"Capital punishment is the most premeditated of murders." - Albert Camus

It appears almost certain that the General Assembly of Maryland will do the right thing and repeal the “Death Penalty” law. This may happen as early as this week. Kudos to that legislative body and to the leadership that the Governor Marty O’Malley has shown on this legal and moral issue. (1)

Back on January 28, 2013, I was in Annapolis, in Lawyers Mall, to attend a spirited rally in support of ending the death penalty. I interviewed activist Marvin “Doc” Cheatham on the status of the effort by the social justice community to get the job done in this session of the General Assembly. He’s currently the “Political Action Chair” of the state’s NAACP and he has a solid rapport with the leadership in the legislature. “Doc” Cheatham told me he thought that “this could be the year” when such a law could be passed and signed into law by the governor.

Israel's Fascist Government

March 15th, 2013

by Stephen Lendman

On January 22, Israelis voted. Results hardened fascist rule. Dominant right-wing parties control 102 of 120 Knesset seats.

Israelis have themselves to blame. They elected their most extremist government in history. Belligerence, state-sponsored terrorism, militarized occupation, racist persecution, settlement expansions, and neoliberal harshness reflect official policy.

No party won a majority. Weeks of negotiations followed. Expect coalition partners to be announced shortly.

Netanyahu remains Prime Minister. He'll serve as Foreign Minister. He'll do so pending the outcome of Avigdor Lieberman's trial. He's charged with fraud and breach of trust. Ze'ev Elkin appears set to become Deputy Foreign Minister.

Why Student Debt Is An Important Reason Behind the falling US birthrate

March 15th, 2013

Angelina Jennifer

The low birthrate record in the United States is presenting no signs of bouncing back, regardless of the cutback that is on the mend. Substantiation is on the rise and therefore massive student debt may be daunting people from early families.

In US it is often found that couples of 29-30 years are finding it difficult to initiate with the family planning thoughts. This is because the male member of the family is finding it a challenge to get hold of a good employment in the post-recession economy and the female member of the family is struggling hard with her student debt which is approximately $164,000, with a monthly re-imbursement of $818. So, this is forcing the couple to think hard on the additional expenditure that comes with having a baby. In such a kind of scenario, kids simply do not fit.

Gitmo Atrocities Continue

March 14th, 2013

by Stephen Lendman

America's by far the world's leading human rights abuser. It commits horrific crimes globally. No other nation matches its record. It's longstanding. It's unconscionable. It's lawless.

It violates fundamental international, constitutional, and US statute laws. It does so with impunity. It's official US policy.

Obama Killed Chavez

March 14th, 2013

by Stephen Lendman

Most likely he was either poisoned or infected with cancer causing substances. Four cancer surgeries in 18 months raise suspicions.

Chavez knew he was marked for death. He said so numerous times. Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez believes Washington and Israel conspired to kill him.

He called it similar to how Israel murdered Yasser Arafat. Radioactive polonium poisoning killed him. Forensic evidence proved it.

On March 12, acting President Nicolas Marudo said a state commission will investigate his death. "(I)mportant scientists from different countries" will be involved.

Maduro believes forensic evidence will show Chavez was "injected by imperialist forces."

He "was poisoned by dark forces in order to hit at the Venezuelan people and Latin America," he stressed.

McDonaldization: News Media, Hollywood, Television & Internet 'Alternative' News

America's So-Called Liberal Alternative Media - Some Are MSM Mini-Me's

Anyone who started using the Internet in the era of Windows 3.1 or Mac System 7.1.2 (or using Unix) knows that the Mainstream Media Oligarchs Duopolists crooks are indoctrinating (McDonaldizing) the Internet; or in the words of disney.com, making the Internet the post-journalism "happiest place on Earth"... If there were truth in advertising, make-believe Disney would actually be the concoctedly happiest place on Earth. In the past 8-9 months, websearches on Google, Bing, Yahoo and AolSearch are returning increasingly Censored Results...

The five forged news and fictitious media giants with their 'progressive' Scott Pelley's, 'avante garde' Rachel Maddow's, 'radical' Anderson Cooper's, 'high-minded' Barbara Walters, etc. have yet to ask the simple question, how did the police find Christopher James Dorner's ** fireproof ** wallet, * thrice *?
