Oil Exec Admits to Bribing GOP Lawmaker

Dan Joling of The Associated Press writes, "In the latest sign of corruption problems for Republicans, a corporate executive testified Friday that his employees worked for months to remodel the Alaska home of Sen. Ted Stevens. Stevens, the longest-serving Republican senator, is under scrutiny in a corruption investigation that also is targeting Alaska state officials."

Widerlegung der Argumentation des Vorstands der SPD-Bundestagsfraktion

Der Vorstand der SPD-Bundestagsfraktion hat ein Papier mit dem Titel "Häufig gestellte Fragen zum Thema: Teilprivatisierung der Deutschen Bahn AG" veröffentlicht. Dieses dokumentieren wir mitsamt unseren Antworten. Artikel auf Bahn für Alle vom 21.09.2007 http://www.bahn-fuer-alle.de/pages/argumente/replik-auf-spd-faq.php


Acht fatale Folgen von erfolgten Bahnprivatisierungen

„Es gibt bereits Erfahrungen mit Bahnprivatisierung. Unter anderem in Japan, Großbritannien, den USA und Schweden, aber auch in Ländern Afrikas und Südamerikas wurden öffentliche Bahnen privatisiert. In all diesen Ländern zeigen sich acht ähnliche Folgen: Das einheitliche Bahnsystem wird zerschlagen, Arbeitsplätze werden abgebaut und Löhne gesenkt, Komfort und Service werden schlechter (zum Beispiel durch Bahnhofs- und Schalterschließungen), Regionalverbindungen verschwinden zu Gunsten von Hochgeschwindigsstrecken zwischen Metropolen, die Zuschüsse der öffentlichen Hand ans Bahnsystem steigen, die Bahn wird widerstreitenden Interessen von Autoindustrie, Busgesellschaften und Flugverkehrslobby ausgesetzt, Bahnhöfe verlieren ihre Funktion als Portale von Stadt und Verkehr, Bahnimmobilien werden zu Spekulationsobjekten. Diese Folgen beschreibt detailliert die eben veröffentlichte 34-seitige Studie "Mit Hochgeschwindigkeit aufs falsche Gleis – Bahnprivatisierung in Deutschland und international" von Dr. Winfried Wolf (…) Die informative und fundierte Studie kann als Broschüre zum Preis von 3 Euro plus Versand gekauft werden.

Stopping The Next War

By Patrick J. Buchanan

Speaking to the American Legion, Bush used rhetoric against Iran equal in bellicosity to anything he used on Iraq before invading. Iran "is the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism." Iran "funds terrorist groups like Hamas. ... Iran is sending arms to the Taliban." Iran's pursuit of nuclear technology threatens to put the Middle East and Gulf "under the shadow of a nuclear holocaust."

On the Internal War For Control of Iraq's Oil

Democracy Now! - Audio & Transcript

We speak with Michael Klare, author of "Blood and Oil: The Dangers and Consequences of America's Growing Dependency on Imported Petroleum." Klare says, "There's a second war underway in Iraq that's a war for the control of the oil wealth. That's a war that is pitting Kurds against the Arabs of the country, Shiites against Sunnis, and Shiite against Shiite. Because eventually the Americans are going to leave and the people of Iraq know this."

The General lies, we've heard it before: more troops will win the war

By Robert Scheer

OF COURSE, Gen. David Petraeus predicts success in the Iraq war. What wonders couldn't generals achieve with more troops and more time? The battle is always going well until it is lost, and then they blame defeat on the politicians and the public.

Facts Belie Petraeus' Case, Say Humanitarian Groups

By Aaron Glantz

A joint ABC/BBC poll released this week shows 70 percent of Iraqis believe security has deteriorated since the Bush administration increased the number of troops in Iraq this Spring. Some 60 percent believe attacks on U.S. forces are justified, a number that includes 93 percent of Sunnis.

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article18382.htm



Just Ask The Iraqis

By Marie Cocco

Resentment against Americans is undiminished, and has reached such levels that 57 percent of Iraqis say that violence against U.S. forces is acceptable, up six points from when the survey was last conducted in March. In February 2004, only 17 percent of Iraqis said they condoned violence against the Americans in their midst.

Bush Calls for Permanent US Military Occupation of Iraq

By Barry Grey

TELL CONGRESS WE WANT THE TRUTH ABOUT 9/11 AND NOTHING LESS

By the admission of the chairmen of the 9/11 commission itself, they did not get to the truth, and were deliberately impeded and deceived through their entire investigation.

We are not going to attempt in this alert to theorize about what the actual truth is. The one thing we know for sure is that the "official" story is a fairy tale, just like children's book Bush kept reading while he did NOTHING during the attack itself.

9/11 REINVESTIGATION ACTION PAGE: http://www.usalone.com/reinvestigate_911.php

Now that the American people are waking up to the fact that they've been lied to about everything else in the last 6 years, is it any wonder that they are increasing skeptical about how it is that our air defenses just evaporated on 9/11, so as to ALLOW any terrorist plot to succeed on that day.

Don't you think it's time, AFTER the deaths of 3,000 Americans in New York City, and even more in Iraq, AFTER squandering a trillion dollars or more of our treasury on a phantom WMD and Al Qaeda chase in that country, don't you think it's time that the American people were finally told the truth?

NOW, years later, Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton whine they were systematically lied to and denied the funds to do a proper job. Why did they not put up more of a fight about this at the time they were betraying the trust of the American people? Of course the 9/11 commissioners have only themselves to blame for failing so miserably in their duty. In the first place, instead of a silly charade, they SHOULD have demanded that Cheney and Bush testify separately and under OATH with a transcript.

But they did not, because the Cheney White House already knew Bush could not be trusted alone to compose a sentence in the English language not being fed to him by a teleprompter. He's so stupid he might accidently blurt out the truth. He's prone to blurting out his own stage directions as it is, like when he said his job was to "catapult the propaganda". You can be sure Karl Rove winced when he heard that one on the TV.

WHEN WILL YOU JOIN THE CHENEY IMPEACHMENT MOBILIZATION?

Suppose it came to light that the Vice President, or the President, had committed a unforgivable act of treason against the United States, and the American people all knew it, and the evidence was public knowledge and irrefutable, and let's say it was only a month before he was already set to leave office. Do you propose that Congress should do nothing? Or should the Congress immediately and with one voice rise up and impeach him, that there be a record so that future generations, and White House occupants, should know that the Constitution means something.

CHENEY IMPEACHMENT ACTION PAGE: http://www.usalone.com/cheney_impeachment.php

How long does it take to have a vote in the House of Representatives or the Senate. What, like 15 minutes, max? On 9/11, how long did it take for Congress to speak with one voice? That's what is so absurd about the cowardly argument that there is not enough time left to impeach. Is the White House to be forever immune from impeachment during the last two years of an administration? Suppose a member of the House committed such acts. If two years were not enough time to do it, no member of the House could be impeached ever, and yet they are subject to the same Constitution.

We already know that Cheney lied about the justification for his Iraq invasion, and is still the one pushing hardest for an illegal strike on Iran, the grounds of impeachment in H.Res. 333, proposed by Dennis Kucinich. In the 16 months left in the Cheney dictatorship, there is plenty enough time to kill another thousand or more American service men and women in Iraq and maim thousands and thousands more. There is plenty enough time to squander hundreds of billions of dollars more to inflate the national debt. There is plenty enough time to continue to lie to the American people about absolutely everything. And there is plenty enough time to make the situation dramatically worse with a premeditated and unprovoked attack on Iran. And until that happens we have time to impeach.

But to make that happen, first we need YOU to speak out, as now already more than 100,000 of your fellow citizens already have. And it won't even take you anything remotely approaching 15 minutes. Just go to the Cheney Impeachment action page above, and click a mouse one time. If you are speaking out calling for the 9/11 reinvestigation it's just one more mouse click. Is saving our Constitution worth clicking a mouse one time? We always thought so.

WHY NOT ENCOURAGE DENNIS KUCINICH TO KEEP SPEAKING THE TRUTH?

Who else out there has had more courage to speak the truth, or more wisdom to question the insanity of our Iraq policy since day one. If you can, why don't you make a donation to Dennis to tell him you appreciate his stands on the issues.

KUCINICH DONATIONS: http://www.usalone.com/donations_kucinich.php

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.

Congress does not have to pass legislation to bring an end to the war in Iraq - it simply has to block passage of any bill that would continue to fund the war. This requires not 67 or 60 Senate votes, or even 51, but just 41 ... the Democrats have more than enough votes to end the Iraq War - if they choose to do so."

Petraeus and the “Central Front” myth

09/12/07

Gen. David Petraeus echoed many of George W. Bush’s dubious arguments for fighting an open-ended war in Iraq, including the emotional appeal that al-Qaeda sees Iraq as the ‘central front’ in its global jihad and wants to drive the Americans out in humiliation. But the intelligence data actually points to a near-opposite conclusion: that al-Qaeda sees Iraq as a diversion for the United States and wants to keep American forces bogged down there for the foreseeable future...

A car bomb blew up in the capital’s Shiite Muslim neighborhood of Sadr City on Thursday, killing at least four people, as a new survey suggested that the civilian death toll from the war could be more than 1 million. … ORB said it drew its conclusion from responses to the question about those living under one roof: ‘How many members of your household, if any, have died as a result of the conflict in Iraq since 2003?’ Based on Iraq’s estimated number of households — 4,050,597 — it said the 1.2 million figure was reasonable. There was no way to verify the number, because the government does not provide a full count of civilian deaths. Neither does the U.S. military. Both, however, say that independent organizations greatly exaggerate estimates of civilian casualties...

Protesters win church mast battle

GARETH EDWARDS
(gedwards @edinburghnews.com)

CAMPAIGNERS have scored a victory after a move to put a mobile phone mast on a church tower was thrown out by councillors.

City planners had recommended the mast - which was to be disguised as a flagpole - be given the go-ahead.

But the council's planning committee yesterday turned down the application, saying it would damage the character of the area.

Government terrorism lists are a holiday turkey

Independent Institute
by Ivan Eland

11/25/09

As the holiday travel season rolls around again, the government’s terrorism watch list and no-fly list get ever more bizarre. Of course, for starters, the list has always been unconstitutional, because the government does not have probable cause to believe the vast majority of those on the list have committed a crime (otherwise they could arrest them outright instead of just banning them from flying on airplanes). The FBI’s terrorism watch list, from which the smaller no fly-list is derived, has 1,000,000 people listed, but according to officials, only a mere 400,000 of them are real people — the rest are aliases. Whew, I was getting worried there for an instant. Wait a minute, 400,000 is still a whopping number. An amazing 1,600 people are added to the terrorism list per day, merely on the much lower standard that they present ‘reasonable suspicion’ of being terrorists...

A week of events meant to crank up a national demonstration against the war in Iraq is set to begin Saturday, with a 1,000-person ‘die-in’ at the U.S. Capitol led by current and former American troops and accompanied by taps and a mock 21-gun salute. The die-in will be the culmination of a march and rally. Organizers hope the event will spur people in the antiwar movement to move from protesting to performing acts of civil disobedience that ‘get in the way of the war machine,’ said Brian Becker, national coordinator of the ANSWER Coalition, at a news conference yesterday at the National Press Club...

Hysterie: Tierschutzbund kritisiert Massentötung von Geflügel

Der Deutsche Tierschutzbund fordert ein Ende der Massentötung von Geflügel zum Schutz gegen die Weiterverbreitung der Vogelgrippe. Die Tötung von 67.000 Enten in zwei niederbayerischen Betrieben sei völlig übertrieben. "Diese Tötungsserien sind mehr von Hysterie als von Augenmaß und verantwortlichem Handeln geprägt", kritisierte Tierschutzpräsident Wolfgang Apel am 13. September in Bonn. Er gab der Massentierhaltung eine Mitschuld an der Ausbreitung des Vogelgrippeerregers. "Statt endlich in Seuchenpräventionspolitik zu investieren, wird in Tötungsmaschinen investiert, die Tierleichenberge wachsen", beklagte Apel und forderte eine Rückkehr zu kleinbäuerlichen Strukturen.

Thompson Surge Means Conservatives Are Desperate

by Pastor Chuck Baldwin

President Bush has already made it clear that he intends for American troops to remain in Iraq for years--if not decades--to come. And it also seems clear that the GOP presidential candidates (except Ron Paul) plan to follow Bush's madness. Republicans need to wake up to reality: people are sick of George Bush, and they are sick of the Iraq war. Good grief! In less time than our troops have been in Iraq, our men and women in uniform defeated the combined forces of Germany, Japan, and Italy during World War II. In Iraq, we have not been able to secure the city of Baghdad........

War Against Iran and the Logic of Dominance

By Gareth Porter

If the Bush administration launches an attack on Iran, the reason won't be that Iran was about to obtain a nuclear weapon. The real reason will be that United States, as the world's only superpower, wants to establish clearly that it -- not Iran -- is the dominant power in the Middle East. That would make us all less secure, but the insistence on asserting dominance in the Middle East is the essence of the Bush administration's policy.
