Just Hours After He Called President Bush A Liar On A Local AM Radio Station Although Doug Stout, 77, won't pin illegal entry on his property to his harsh comments about Bush, but says one thing for sure "I don't smoke pot and everybody in town knows it." After hovering over his property with a helicopter, officers then swarmed on his land, looked at some shrubbery and then left without any explanation. Don Stout looked up into the Midwestern sky one afternoon two weeks ago and saw a strange helicopter flying over his five-acre piece of land in rural Albany, Ohio. Before he knew what happened, the 77-year-old long-time resident, law-abiding citizen and Korean War veteran had ...
Four Amendments & a Funeral A month inside the house of horrors that is Congress

It was a fairy-tale political season for George W. Bush, and it seemed like no one in the world noticed. Amid bombs in London, bloodshed in Iraq, a missing blonde in Aruba and a scandal curling up on the doorstep of Karl Rove, Bush's Republican Party quietly celebrated a massacre on Capitol Hill. Two of the most long-awaited legislative wet dreams of the Washington Insiders Club -- an energy bill and a much-delayed highway bill -- breezed into law. One mildly nervous evening was all it took to pass through the House the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), for years now a primary strategic focus of the battle-in-Seattle activist scene. And accompanied by scarcely a whimper from ...
World-Speak: The Making of the Communitarian Creature

World-Speak: The Making of the Communitarian Creature Nancy Levant Communitarianism is the documented socio-cultural rulebook that defines the new conduct rules and ethics for global citizenship. In other words, it is the human being’s official notice of enforced behaviors and beliefs. You do not have the right to your mind or to your opinions anymore – not without being detrimental to “your community.” In fact, your function as an individual in the world has been eliminated. You are now a pre-defined group entity. Hence, you are a community commodity, and absolutely nothing more. American-style Communitarianism very specifically defines morality. It defines good ...
DUI law ruled unconstitutional Va. presumes guilt if blood-alcohol level is 0.08, a judge says

McLEAN -- A Fairfax County judge has ruled that key components of Virginia's drunken-driving laws are unconstitutional, citing an obscure, decades-old U.S. Supreme Court decision that could prompt similar challenges nationwide. Virginia's law is unconstitutional because it presumes that an individual with a blood-alcohol content of 0.08 or higher is intoxicated, denying a defendant's right to a presumption of innocence, Judge Ian O'Flaherty ruled in dismissing charges against at least two alleged drunken drivers last month. As a district judge, O'Flaherty's rulings do not establish any formal precedent, but word of the constitutional argument is spreading quickly among the defense bar. ...

Even when something really outrages me, usually that outrage gives way to a bit of calm, measured thinking. With the Cindy Sheehan story, that's not the case. If one needed any further proof that this incarnation of "Republicans" and alleged conservatives includes a faction that has gone completely and tragically over the edge, the smear campaign against Cindy Sheehan is it. For those who might not be familiar with the details of this and are looking for an accurate, factual account, a good summary appears here. The essence of the right-wing smear machine's "outing" of Cindy Sheehan is her supposed flip-flop from supporting President Bush in 2004 to disapproving of him ...

JOHN ROBERTS - W'S SOUTER By Don Feder Posted - August 10, 2005 When the president announced John Roberts' nomination to the United States Supreme Court - the most powerful deliberative body in the world, membership in which comes with lifetime tenure - I had doubts. As I said in a previous column, I wanted a nominee whose professional life was a 4-lane highway paved with paper. I wanted a picture window on his soul - I mean an iron-clad guarantee that we weren't getting another Souter in Scalia-clothing. Everything we know about John Roberts says here is a man who's been polishing his resume since age six -- a go-to guy who wanted to be liked by his colleagues, a savvy lawyer who put ...

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said yesterday that, if the military were deployed inside the United States in response to a terrorist attack, his department - not the Pentagon - would exercise overall control. "The Department of Homeland Security has the responsibility under the president's directives to coordinate the entirety of the response to a terrorist act here in the United States," Chertoff said on CNN, responding to news reports that the Pentagon has drawn up plans for military action. According to yesterday's Washington Post, the Defense Department has classified plans for the role it might play in scenarios that range from crowd control to ...

Dressed To Kill by John M. Peters A man with curly black hair and olive complexion set out on his early morning run in the downtown section of a major metropolitan area. Uncertain of the fall weather, he dresses in layers, the last of which is a billowy parka. In a pack strapped to his waist is a music-playing device, with wires running from his pack to earpieces tucked almost invisibly into his ears. Toward the end of his run he is breathing heavily, his face dripping with sweat. As the music continues to play loudly in his ears, he is singing along with it. Remembering that there is a coffee shop in the nearby transit station, he turns to jog up the stairs into the station, passing ...

Political economy is all of one piece and cannot be separated into specific sectors of politics and economics as modern intellectuals are trying to do. Therefore it is of paramount importance that all men and women possess at least a rudimentary understanding of political philosophy so as to better understand the world of economics and the direction our economy is going to take in the upcoming years. Our lives and our savings are going to be thrust under ever-increasing regimentation by the modern mega-state. So we need to know far more than just the fundamentals and technical analyses of stocks, bonds and gold if we are to preserve (and expand) the financial stature of our lives. We need ...

August 10, 2005 Hurdles for High-Tech Efforts to Track Who Crosses Borders By ERIC LIPTON WASHINGTON, Aug. 7 - The federal government has been pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into the once-obscure science called biometrics, producing some successes but also fumbles in a campaign designed to track foreigners visiting the country and the activities of some Americans. Hoping to block the entry of criminals and terrorists into the United States and to improve the enforcement of immigration laws, government officials in the past several years have created enormous new repositories of digitally recorded biometric data - including fingerprints and facial characteristics - that can be ...

Drug dogs ready to start working at high schools Ofelia Madrid The Arizona Republic Aug. 9, 2005 12:00 AM SCOTTSDALE - Everything is on track for drug-sniffing dogs to search Scottsdale high schools once classes begin Aug. 22. The dogs recently made their first practice run through three of the Scottsdale Unified School District's high schools. District officials were on hand at Chaparral and Desert Mountain high schools as Scottsdale police planted drugs in a locker. They watched as the dogs quickly sniffed out the drugs. "Those dogs are darn good," Scottsdale Superintendent John Baracy said. Monday, the dogs roamed Coronado High School. The random searches will happen ...

Bush removal ended Guam investigation - US attorney's demotion halted probe of lobbyist By Walter F. Roche Jr., Los Angeles Times | August 8, 2005 WASHINGTON -- A US grand jury in Guam opened an investigation of controversial lobbyist Jack Abramoff more than two years ago, but President Bush removed the supervising federal prosecutor, and the probe ended soon after. The previously undisclosed Guam inquiry is separate from a federal grand jury in the District of Columbia that is investigating allegations that Abramoff bilked Indian tribes out of millions of dollars. In Guam, a US territory in the Pacific, investigators were looking into Abramoff's secret arrangement with Superior Court ...

The Invisible Pirate - Tracking PCs by Joe Blow This edition covers two methods that Big Brother may soon be able to use to track any computer. The good news is that geospatial addressing is still on the drawing board and won't become a reality for most users for years. The bad news is that remote physical device fingerprinting may enable the feds to track your computer anywhere, no matter how or where you connect to the web, even if you use a high anonymous proxy server or an anonymizer system like JAP or Tor. Not happy about that? Wait, it gets worse. IPv6's geospatial addressing will incorporate an injected GPS signal to pinpoint a user's location. While this feature is intended for ...

Whatever happened to the oath that our elected servants pledge to uphold the Constitution and defend America? CAFTA, the Central American Free Trade Agreement is a thief. Make no mistake. It will steal American jobs. It will woo companies from America. It will do both for greed's sake — to "increase shareholder value and beef up the bottom line." The House of Representatives passed CAFTA around midnight, the start of July 28, 2005. The U.S. Senate did this dirty work in late June. America's standard of living will be dragged down further to more closely match that of less prosperous neighbors in our hemisphere. How? As more decent-paying American production and manufacturing ...

US Military Develops Homeland War Plan COLORADO SPRINGS -- The U.S. military has devised its first-ever war plans for guarding against and responding to terrorist attacks in the United States, envisioning 15 potential crisis scenarios and anticipating several simultaneous strikes around the country, according to officers who drafted the plans. The classified plans, developed here at Northern Command headquarters, outline a variety of possible roles for quick-reaction forces estimated at as many as 3,000 ground troops per attack, a number that could easily grow depending on the extent of the damage and the abilities of civilian response teams. The possible scenarios range from "low ...

Shoot, Shovel and Shut-UP Joyce Morrison Shoot, shovel and shut-up are actions property owners are forced to take when it comes to the Endangered Species Act. The Endangered Species Act, meant to protect plants and animals, is probably destroying more species than it saves. Landowners fear that plants and animals they would prefer to protect will be discovered and they will lose the use of their property with no compensation. Rep. Richard Pombo (R-CA), who heads the Resources Committee, has been an advocate for property rights, but when it comes to the ESA, he has left many wondering if he realizes the implications his recommendations will bring when it comes to ESA reform. ...

Once an inquiring mind accepts the "absurdity" of the United States government's planning, arranging, and conspiring with another government's intelligence agency to bring about the Pearl Harbor of the 21st century, and once it can be recognized that the anger generated by such a successful plot was capitalized upon by the American Empire to wage an unnecessary, unjust and unconstitutional war, figuring out the rest is easy. Today in America, allegiance to both the Bush administration and its uncalled for invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan and its brutal mass murder of Iraqis serving the objectives of Israel and oil, the term "patriotism" is now used to identify those ...

As I write these words, I'm sitting at a crowded gate at the Los Angeles airport awaiting the redeye to Roanoke. I've just gone through security screening, and I've rarely felt so violated. After waiting in line for 25 minutes to check in, I'm told I have to wait again for my bag to be X-rayed. Another 25 minutes. Given the amount of free time I had, I decided to spend some of it contemplating what a thoroughly useless gesture the X-ray screening is. I understand the purpose is to prevent bombs from finding their way onto ...

The Spy Left Out in the Cold By JOHN H. RICHARDSON Published: August 7, 2005 My father was also a C.I.A. officer outed by the press. IT was a national scandal, the first of its kind. A senior C.I.A. officer was exposed in the United States press by a "high official source." The story shot from newspaper to newspaper. The officer lost his job and went into hiding. Six days later, with a conservative Republican leading the charge, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee grilled the secretary of defense, demanding a point-by-point refutation of the anonymous charges against the officer in the news media. The senators were also upset about the war that was starting. Why was the ...
