June 2nd, 2008 · No Comments
All week I have been flooded with reports that the official cause of the 2003 electrical blackout was not, as reported, untrimmed trees and overheated transmission lines. The largest blackout in US history, more than 9,300 square miles, may have been caused by Chinese hackers gaining access to networks controlling the electrical grid. […]

Sunshine soldier and the winter patriot
March 22nd, 2008 · No Comments
A fellow peace activist wrote this and gave me permission to post it here. It is moving and thoughtful and attends to the too little attention given by the mainstream media upon these gut wrenching testimonies of our wounded warriors, our true winter patriots.
Editor:
As noted in The World (March 17, 2008), Sunshine Week is […]

True Majority has put together a clever interactive explanation of our national budget. Guess what! The Axis of Evil spends only a tiny fraction compared to our defense budget and still, we are only ’safer, but not yet safe’. Watch it here

Well, he may have had his sentence for committing perjury in his roll in outing a covert agent commuted by the president but the bar association has not been so gracious.
The disbarment order of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals had been expected.
”When a member of the bar is convicted of an offense […]

Philip Shenon book excerpt
March 9th, 2008 · No Comments
They knew but did nothing… read this excerpt at The Sydney Morning Herald detailing the failure of the Bush administration to assess the CIA reports of an impending attack.
But what had happened in the White House in the first eight months of George Bush’s presidency had all but guaranteed that 19 young Arab men with […]

March 6th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Dems are caving on immunity
March 3rd, 2008 · No Comments
This is just amazing! The existing FISA laws allow the government to obtain a warrant and spy on US citizens. There is a 72 hour window where they can spy first and get the warrant second. There is no emergency and yet the House Intelligence Committee appears to be willing to write in […]

Using fear and chaos
February 24th, 2008 · No Comments
Coincidence? Or something else… it is not unheard of in history that attacks have coincided with planned military exercises. Read this report from Global Research. Note these two videos relating to events of 9/11 and also from 7/7 in London and suggest the possibility of a false flag event.

Transmission congestion in NY
February 22nd, 2008 · No Comments
This is an interesting news report because it points out both how fragile our electrical grid is and it illustrates just what electricity is expected to be worth in the years ahead. New York is running out of power and there are plans afoot to run 190 miles of new transmission lines at $1M […]
