Storm the White House

Anti-war activists planning to 'take over' White House Online announcement asks protesters to 'storm' executive mansion March 15 by Ron Strom February 28 2006 World Net Daily http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=49026 A leading anti-Iraq war group is advertising a plan to storm the White House next month and "take it over" until the Bush administration vacates the premises. United for Peace and Justice, which claims to represent 1,300 local and national anti-war organizations, has a page on its site advertising the March 15 action. "We are taking over the White House until they leave," the announcement says. The press release is entitled "Take the White House by Storm" – though elsewhere on the site a statement calls the storming "a peaceful event." "It is our duty and the duty of the United Nations to rescue the people of the world from the U.S. dictators," states the release. "Murder for occupa...

Bite Me

By Chuck Wilson Remember the song, "Found a Peanut?" Well, sing along with this... Propaganda, Propaganda -- nothing but Propaganda! Oh, Rummy -- you're such a dummy. And you're mighty crummy to fill our tummy With nothing but Propaganda! Bite me! As an outspoken critic of the evil elite who try to enslave us to do their bidding, I was particularly alarmed when Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England told the Senate Armed Services Committee last week that people who publicly oppose allowing the United Arab Emirates company, Dubai Ports World, to take over management of some U.S. ports "could be threatening national security." England said, "The terrorists want our nation to become distrustful. They want us to become paranoid and isolationist, and my view is we cannot allow this to happen. It needs to be just the opposite." So, let me get this straight. After three years of mind-numbing repetitive speeches by Bush designed to make us distrustful...

worst day of his life

Cheney - Never mind America's teenaged military enduring horrors in Iraq, Dick Cheney had the worst day of his life by August Keso, February 15th, 2006 http://www.progressivedailybeacon.com/commentary.php?id=993 It is rather fortunate for Republicans like Dick Cheney that, the Party has its very own propaganda "news" network. That way, whenever a sociopath like Cheney invades a country based on false intelligence, or shoots his hunting partner, he has somewhere to turn knowing they won't ask the tough questions. Also, having FOX in the Republican Party provides people like Cheney an opportunity to make themselves out to be the victim of their own folly. It wasn't pathetic enough that Dick Cheney tried to make himself the victim after having shot his buddy Whittington, but his excuse was borderline outrageous. While fielding typical FOX Republican News softball questions, Cheney said, "The image of him falling is somethi...

we’re going to be dead

We will never know the damage that the bush has done to the United States and the world. By the time the final tally is in, we’re going to be dead. Our children’s grandchildren will still be paying the price. The tax cuts bush has been pushing, and his other policies, guarantee that the children of the elite won’t be paying it. And, by allowing roberts and alito seats on the Supreme Court, the Senate has guaranteed that none of the bushistas will pay for their crimes. You do know, of course, that any problems, convictions, impeachments, and the like, that they may face is going to end up in front of that same Supreme Court. One that is even more beholden to our little georgie than the one that anointed him in the first place on December 12, 2000. (Now there’s a date that should live in infamy.) And then, no doubt, we’ll see them turn up in jeb’s administration. Just as daddy bush’s assorted felons ended up in little bush’s. What a legacy to leave the kids. The bushistas are in too deep...

Jeb shredding state records?

By Joe Baker, Senior Editor http://www.rockrivertimes.com/index.pl?cmd=viewstory&cat=2&id=12347 The Rock River Times Rockford, IL A source inside the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation told Insider magazine that Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has ordered the shredding of documents and public records, a clear violation of Florida law. The department has oversight and approval of state gaming licensees, slot machines, dog and horse tracks, and jai-alai games. The source, who asked to remain anonymous, said the governor also has brought in personnel from Texas to replace key members of his staff in Tallahassee. The Texans are overseeing the destruction of state documents, according to the source. A source in the FBI confirmed that public records are being destroyed on orders of Jeb Bush. The source said the governor may have taken that action in response to the continuing criminal probe of Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff and the federal investigation of the 2001 ...
