Video - John Pilger

The great liberal thinker Walter Lippmann once described the public as a bewildered herd. This contempt is shared today by those who claim his elite legacy, in politics and the media. Why? Because they fear that the so-called herd will suddenly change direction.

"Everybody Knows the Clock is Ticking

Yet nobody knows what time it is.

By Jim Kirwan

For most of the last ten days the news from Washington has been punctuated by the bizarre antics of Dick Cheney - the man that puts the 'Vice' in the US presidency. History gave us all a lesson during the Nixon years and Watergate, when the line between the laws and those who either make or enforce those laws was re-emphasized.

"As the Supreme Court's term winds to a close this week," writes Elana Schor of The Hill, "lawmakers are mulling the future of a thriving breed of bill: the high court 'fix.' Members of both parties are pressing or planning at least six bills to clarify recent Supreme Court rulings, signaling what may become a new era of Congressional sensitivity to court decisions that can be remedied with legislation."

Dean Baker, Truthout columnist, writes: "The latest data on housing sales showed that the inventory of unsold homes climbed to 4.4 million in May, yet another record. The current inventory would be more than a full year of housing sales in the mid-nineties, before the housing bubble began to take off. There is also a record inventory of new homes for sale. Economists usually expect that excess supply leads to a drop in prices, and in this case, there is a considerable excess supply of houses."

John Feeney CARLANSTOWN residents will be closely monitoring a fresh planning application from Vodafone Ireland Ltd lodged in the past week to site a 24m mobile phone antenna at Balreask Road, Carlanstown, on the Kells side of Maudlin Bridge.

Locals have campaigned strongly against the same firm’s attempt to seek retention of a mobile phone mast in the village which, they claimed, was far too close both to the primary school and new housing estates.

There are days reading the news that I have to pinch myself. Surely this is some type of a bad dream from which I shall soon awake. Unfortunately, the painful realization is that I am awake and this Orwellian nightmare is really happening. This time, it's trying to get under our skin -- literally. Despite serious health concerns, which even the AMA acknowledges, they push for the implants anyway. Looking behind the action, I find power, money, and an old player in the form of "Verichip," variously known at different times as "Digital Angel," and "Applied Digital Solutions.".......
