The Guerrilla Campaign

US Raid Sends Message on Iraq "Agreement" Sunday, 29 June 2008 Chris Floyd http://www.chris-floyd.com/content/view/1549/135/ As we know from The Godfather -- that seminal work of American political philosophy which serves as the Bible for policy-making in the Bush Administration -- a horse's head in the bed can be highly effective tool in difficult contract negotiations. Last Friday, Bush went his fictional mentors one better in the "negotiations" over an agreement setting out the public terms of a de facto permanent American occupation of the conquered land: he laid the corpse of a kinsman on the doorstep of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. McClatchy Newspapers reports that U.S. Special Forces launched a deadly raid in al-Maliki's home province -- which has supposedly been returned to the full control of the Iraqi government. Without any warning to Iraqi forces, the American unit stormed the rural town of Janaja at dawn on Friday with 60 troops and i...

In 1977 , John N. Mitchell became the first former U.S. attorney general to go to prison as he began serving a sentence for his role in the Watergate cover-up. (He was released 19 months later.) 1981 Mark David Chapman pleaded guilty to killing rock musician John Lennon. and, in 1970, President Richard Nixon signed a measure lowering the voting age to 18. So, VOTE. It’s your future we’re talking about here. The Real State of Iraq […] As for the Iraqis killed by Americans, like the 24 civilians in Haditha , the survivors are not going to be pro-American any time soon. The US can always find politicians to come out and say nice things on a visit to the Rose Garden. But the people. I don't think the people are saying nice things in Arabic behind our backs. The wars of Iraq-- the Iran-Iraq War, the repressions of the Kurds and the Shiites, the Gulf War, and the American Calamity, may have left behind as many as 3 million widows . Having lost their family's breadwinner, many are d...

So, the lickspittle little johnny, he of the rictus grin, and the ass-kisser charlie, he who wants to be the number two, have decreed that they want more areas opened up for drilling. They were joined in this by the enlightened one, our own king little georgie. This will cause the magical drop in gas prices. They promise. They really mean it this time. Of course, what they won’t tell you is this: Rahall to Big Oil: Use It or Lose It June 12, 2008 CONTACT: Allyson Groff or Blake Androff, 202-226-9019 http://resourcescommittee.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=389&Itemid=1 Washington, D.C. - In an effort to compel oil and gas companies to produce on the 68 million acres of federal lands, both onshore and offshore, that are leased but sitting idle, House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Nick J. Rahall (D-WV) today introduced legislation that gives Big Oil one option - either "use it or lose it." "Big Oil, as many Americans already suspect,...

Well, we’ve been kinda busy here at the guerrilla campaign, you could say. Some folk were pleased, and a whole bunch are still pissed off, or will be soon. What fun. And we’re also starting to layout the site for the presidential campaign ahead. The Supreme Court, by a narrow 5-4 decision, restored habeus corpus. http://supremecourtus.gov/opinions/07pdf/06-1195.pdfd http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/13/washington/12cnd-gitmo.html Of course, the corrupt scalia, roberts, alito, and the totally inept thomas dissented. Apparently, they still believe that their Lord, the Decider and Enlightened One, the little georgie, should be allowed to strut about some more like a little emperor. Still, it’s a victory in the sordid story of torture, kidnap, rape, and murder, that’s the story and legacy of the bush administration. Oh, hey, did you know that it was a molotov cocktail that got tossed into the Texas governor’s mansion, according to the ATF. A molotov cocktail of all things. http://www.keyetv.c...
