Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld will resign, reportedly to be replaced by former CIA director Robert Gates. Did you know that Robert Gates was involved in the voting machine industry? Gates was on the board of directors of VoteHere, a strange little company that was the biggest elections industry lobbyist for the Help America Vote Act (HAVA). VoteHere spent more money than ES&S, Diebold, and Sequoia combined to help ram HAVA through. And HAVA, of course, was a bill sponsored by by convicted Abramoff pal Bob Ney and K-street lobbyist buddy Steny Hoyer. HAVA put electronic voting on steroids. You can find copies of the VoteHere lobbying forms here: ...

Field of screams: The real election winners and losers By Joel S. Hirschhorn Online Journal Contributing Writer Nov 9, 2006, 01:41 Email this article Printer friendly page Forget political correctness. The revolution has NOT arrived! Bush is still president. The corporate state is safe. The Upper Class has little to fear. Lobbyists will be writing different names on checks. Winning Democrats will entertain more than they will produce historic restorative reforms. Did Republicans deserve to lose? Of course! However, Americans who thought their votes would bring much needed change to our political system also lost. They just don’t know or admit it yet. As usual, the third-party ...

November 10/11/12, 2006 -- The impending partial purge of the Bush 43 neo-cons by the incoming cadre of Bush 41 officials is already having an effect on U.S.-Syrian relations. Intelligence sources report that the Bush 41 team, still grateful for Syrian President Hafez al Assad's support for Operation Desert Storm, is working to exonerate Bashar Assad, Assad's son, for his government's alleged role in the February 2005 car bomb assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. WMR has previously reported that Hariri's assassination was ordered by neo-cons in Israel and the United States who wanted to implement their "Clean Break" policy in order to drive Syrian ...

Exclusive: A lawsuit in Germany will seek a criminal prosecution of the former Defense Secretary and other U.S. officials for their alleged role in abuses at Abu Ghraib and Gitmo Just days after his resignation, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is about to face more repercussions for his involvement in the troubled wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. New legal documents, to be filed next week with Germany's top prosecutor, will seek a criminal investigation and prosecution of Rumsfeld, along with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, former CIA director George Tenet and other senior U.S. civilian and military officers, for their alleged roles in abuses committed at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison ...
Pentagon shake-up expected from Gates

In nominating Robert Gates as defense secretary, President George W. Bush is trying to transform the debate over Iraq by putting the Defense Department in the hands of a man who has been sharply critical of the Pentagon leadership, senior administration officials said Thursday. Gates has hinted to associates that he intends to bring into the Pentagon advisers who have largely been frozen out of the Bush White House, the officials said. Gates traveled to Iraq over Labor Day with the Iraq Study Group, and one close friend of the nominee said that when he returned he was "clearly distraught over the incompetence of how the Iraq operation had been run." He expressed disbelief that ...

Election Could Have Been Thrown, Says Fraud Expert Harris considers token victory for Democrats fixed to quell dissent on mass voting fraud, liberal bloggers begin to attack anyone who doesn't jump on the Pelosi bandwagon Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet Thursday, November 9, 2006 Voting rights activist Bev Harris fears the mid-term elections may have been thrown in order to quell suspicions about vote fraud in anticipation of a major 2008 coup. Liberal blog sites are already naively telling whistleblowers and "conspiracy theorists" to keep quiet now that the left arm of the establishment, the Democrats, have re-emerged.

Gun Control on the Back Burner by Ron Paul by Ron Paul DIGG THIS For most Americans, guns are not a political issue. People buy and own guns to protect their families, not to commit crimes. The truth is that even millions of Americans who support and vote for gun control own guns themselves, because deep down they share the basic human need to feel secure in their homes. The gun control movement has lost momentum in recent years. The Democratic Party has been conspicuously silent on the issue in recent elections because they know it's a political loser. In the midst of declining public support for new gun laws, more and more states have adopted concealed-carry programs. The September ...

I'm just one of your constituents, but there are millions just like me. You said, "Hugo Chavez fancies himself a modern-day Simon Bolivar, but all he is, is an everyday thug."

Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Wednesday, October 25, 2006 by The Progressive Two Rows Over a T-Shirt with Arabic on It by Matthew Rothschild This is a story about one T-shirt that caused two rows. The shirt has the phrase “We will not be silent,” written both in English and in Arabic. This may seem innocuous enough, but not in today’s America, where the very sight of Arabic alarms some citizens, as well as Homeland Security. On August 12, Raed Jarrar, who works for Global Exchange in Washington, DC, was wearing that T-shirt as he was trying to board a JetBlue flight from JFK to California. While he was at the gate eating some cheese and grapes ...

Pardon my disappearance recently. I had kidney stone surgery and I had a rough recovery. But I made it out to vote tonight, and while I voted mainly Dem and Independent, I went for one Republican, running for Cook County Board president against a little wimp corrupt thug named Todd Stroger. If you think Da Mare Daly has a machine, Stroger's father ran one that was the most corrupt I have ever seen. Then, just before the primary here in Chicago, John Stroger had a massive stroke. His little punk kid kept coming out of the hospital room telling everyone how great dad was doing, etc. and of course, the guy was a vegetable. But he narrowly won reelection, then miraculously wrote a note saying ...

TSA Insanity - The False Authority Syndrome By David Gagne 11-4-6 Now, understand, that even when I am in a bad mood I am still one of the most cheerful men you're ever likely to meet.

Voting: Suppressing Change Through the Pursuit of Power by Jeff Snyder A sizable portion of the American electorate heads to the polls today to cast votes for members of the House and Senate, as well as various governors and representatives in the states. The campaigns this season have been particularly brutal, buzzing with allegations or evocations of gay sex, pedophilia, bribery and corruption, racial prejudice, preference for the rights of terrorists over the safety of Americans, and a craven desire to turn tail and run from the Iraqi field of battle. It seems a worthwhile time to ask ourselves, now, while so many of us are at a fever pitch, before we know the results of the ...

THE POLITICS OF RUSH LIMBAUGH THE GLOOMY PEOPLE VS. THE HAPPY PEOPLE By: Sean Scallon A writer's best ideas or thoughts are based on inspiration and more often than not, that inspiration comes from other people. Some may be loath to give credit where credit is due but I am not. So this piece is brought to you by blogger Daniel Larison courtesy of fellow blogger Clark Stooksbury. Limbaugh it seemed, during one of his interminable rants, did actually say something profound or at least gave some insight on his primitive political philosophy. And no, this has nothing to do with Michael J. Fox. This actually occurred during a broadcast just after the Mark Foley scandal broke. To quote El ...

I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are of course those who do not want us to ...
