Open letter to Jonathan Schell
(4 comments) Suggestion to Jonathan Schell, lifelong advocate for nuclear disarmament, that he is the right person to bring 9/11 truth into the mainstream media. The Kean report was replete with contradictions and physical impossibilities.

The Franchise: Our Founding Fathers and the Universal Sufferance

Who killed Benazir Bhutto?
(1 comments) We don't know who killed Benazir Bhutto. There is no credible evidence, and no one we trust who is investigating. It is not beyond the pale that our own government could have had a hand. We have no 'free press' that we might count on to investigate and report on such a sensitive and charged event.

Welcome, Stranger
(1 comments) The man who passes us on the street doesn't want to be separate or private any more than we do. We greet each other with smiles, and heartfelt if tentative openness. We speak of something that is real to us: It is a thought or a perception that we imagine makes us different and separates us from The Others around us. We are surprised and delighted to find that he has been thinking the same thing.

The Pivotal Ohio vote in 2004: Who did the counting?
(1 comments) Election night 2004. Despite trashed registrations, voter intimidation, and selective machine shortages, it looks as though Kerry will still beat Bush in Ohio, and assume the presidency. There is only one thing left to do. The job of counting votes is 'redirected' from the computer designated by the Ohio Dept of State to a computer run by the RNC - the same computer on which White House emails are protected from Congress' eyes

Why we're not getting out of Iraq
(4 comments) There's a reason we can't withdraw our troops from Iraq. We're there to protect the oil fields which we have privatized for the profits of Western multinationals. The day that we are crying in the streets, 'Give the Iraqis back their oil!' is the day Congress will compel the Administration to effect a military withdrawal from Iraq.

Former FDA Commissioner says FDA is Grossly Underfunded
A new report from the Woodrow Wilson Ctr warns that the agency's $1.9B budget is less than half what it needed to do its 'old' job. The report focuses on its new responsibilities: microencapsulation technology that promises to deliver medication where it is needed, to enhance the effectiveness of everything from cancer therapies to skin creams. FDA doesn't have the funds to begin the job of managing this promising new field.

Letter to my Comrades
(1 comments) So, you find grounds for pessimism in the observation that the Congress has just granted a psychopathic president an arrogation of power not seen since 1215, and the fix is in for another rigged election? Take courage from lessons of biology as well as history!
