What links did Mohammed Atta have to Cheney & the Pentagon?
(2 comments) New evidence that Mohammed Atta was connected to the Pentagon's Special Operations Command (SOCOM). In addition, more evidence that a top-secret Pentagon project code-named "Able Danger" identified Atta as a member of an al-Qaeda cell more than a year before the 9/11 attacks. So why did the Pentagon prevent his arrest? And why was the FBI so reluctant to inspect Zacarais Moussaoui's laptop computer until after 9/11?

Saudi Newspaper: Prepare for radioactive fallout from US nuclear attack on Iran
(47 comments) Bush sends nuclear sub to Gulf. Cheney then visits Saudis, who in turn prepare plans to deal with "any sudden radioactive hazards" that may arise from a US attack on Iran's nuclear reactors. This was reported by a top Saudi newspaper, Okaz, and relayed by a leading German news service, DPA. (Nothing in Saudi Arabia becomes the top news story without government approval.) Experts say a US nuclear attack is very likely.

Was Eliot Spitzer targeted?
(10 comments) If you look at the long list of cases in which accusations of highly irregular financial conduct were lodged against Republican elected officials, you will see that in each case the Bush Justice Department reacted by doing nothing. No review of payments and bank records. No questions. No investigators. No warrants for wiretaps. Bush's "Justice" Department always concluded that there was insufficient grounds to proceed.

Our Senate has betrayed us
(5 comments) Our Senate, led by Jay Rockefeller, enabled by Harry Reid, and with the active support of at least 12 Democrats and the as-always lockstep GOP caucus -- voted to legalize warrantless spying on the telephone calls and emails of Americans. It also provided full retroactive amnesty to lawbreaking telecoms, thus forever putting an end to any efforts to investigate the telecoms and the associated crimes of the Bush administration.

Our corporate-controlled (Orwellian) mass media
(16 comments) In a world of objective reality, a reporter would simply say that the U.S. launched an unprovoked invasion of Iraq on March of 2003 under the false pretense that Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction -- and did this even after UN inspectors, completely unopposed by Saddam, had failed to find any WMD. However, the Orwellian 'reality' sold to us by our corporate-controlled mass media was and is quite different.

If productivity has tripled, why are we working ever longer hours?
(4 comments) Even though worker productivity has tripled in the last 50 years, most American workers are working ever longer hours just to acquire basics like housing, health care and college education. The biggest reason they have to work so much is the ever growing amounts of superfluous products that are produced and consumed. That keeps folks on a kind of treadmill -- which in turn causes enormous amounts of pollution & global warming

Hyperconsumption, global warming, and the fall of basic-goods buying power among the middle class
(8 comments) American workers are slowly becoming enslaved to the superrich, the rich, & even to our own consumer addictions. The more we work, the more we feel compelled to buy. The more we buy, the more we're compelled to work. Meanwhile our environment suffers the ever worsening consequences. Solution: Allow those who want to, to work, efficiently & cooperatively, only on the production of the basics, which they can then share.

How a state governor was imprisoned with help from Karl Rove
(8 comments) The GOP spent millions of dollars-- state and federal dollars--to remove Gov. Don Siegelman from Alabama politics, and did it with the help of Karl Rove. They wanted Siegelman out of politics because he is honest, can't be bought, won't be part of corrupt government, and is popular with blacks and whites alike. From the courtroom they took him away in shackles, to jail, without even a chance to say goodbye to his family.

Mortgage Industry Insider Says the Mortgage Mess is Far Far Worse than You Suppose
(23 comments) Now, it takes a $175K annual income to buy a million dollar house, which, before, a $90K income could afford, down from average household income to 10% of households. And inventories are up 500%-- that leaves 90% fewer buyers for five times the number of homes. To get housing moving again rates must drop, which won't happen, or home prices must fall 50%. Things WILL be getting worse.

The Vile Economic Consequences of Mr. Bush
Repercussions from Bush will be felt beyond the lifetime of anyone reading this page. Our tax code has become hideously biased in favor of the rich; our national debt will probably have grown 70% by the time Bush leaves office; we have a swelling cascade of mortgage defaults and a record near-$850 billion trade deficit, and oil prices higher than ever. We must kick our addiction to oil but are becoming ever more dependent.

The Mounting Dangers of America's Burgeoning Debt
How did America, collectively and as individuals, become a nation addicted to debt -- pushed to, and often over, the edge of bankruptcy? The savings rate in America hangs below zero. Personal bankruptcies are reaching record numbers. America's total debt averages more than $160,000 for every man, woman, and child. China holds nearly $1 trillion in US debt. Japan and other countries hold most of the rest.

In Preparation for Prosecution and/or Armageddon, Bush Buys 99,000-Acre Ranch in Paraguay
(9 comments) The Bush clan knows that things might go real bad real soon -- both for Georgie, for America, and for the Mideast. Therefore the Bushes are making plans for escape. American men no longer want to serve in Iraq; ever more are deserting and none are enlisting. Result: the Pentagon is desperately trying to recruit Latin Americans to fight this war for us. Meanwhile massive recession looms, largely as a result of oil scarcity.

How we could have saved billions with a gasoline tax
(7 comments) If only we could have slapped a "patriot tax" of $1 or more on every gallon of gasoline sold, this would have greatly diminished the transfers of wealth we were making to the very countries who are indirectly financing the ideologies of intolerance that are killing American soldiers. In addition, such a move would have spurred innovation in energy efficiency by U.S. manufacturers.

Former high-level officials challenge the conventional explanation of how and why the Twin Towers came down
(39 comments) Former high-level CIA officials and military officers now suspect that three World Trade Center buildings came down with the help of powerful explosives and radio-controlled incendiary devices. There is hard new evidence to support this belief presented in this article. Much of it has been documented by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, and can be seen at their web site, www.ae911truth.org.

BushCo's Covert Attempt to Force Iraq Into Giving Up 87% of Its Oil
Plenty of evidence, from a variety of sources, that the Bush administration, with the help of the mainstream media, is covertly trying to force Iraq's parliament to sign an oil law that will grant the vast majority of Iraq's oil profits to multinational oil companies.

Just How Much Trouble is the US Economy In?
Japan and China Lead the Flight from the Dollar. Fears of a Dollar Collapse. Saudis Take Flight. China Threatens "Nuclear Option" of Dollar Sales. Foreign investors flee US securities. Housing slump could trigger recession. Housing starts fall 40% and home foreclosures double. Re: the regulations that will be needed in future, Republicans start talking like Democrats.

The FBI knew that the 911 attack was being planned
Evidence that the FBI knew well in advance that the 9/11 attack was being planned. The Philippine National Police found evidence of this planning on the laptop of a Muslim terrorist and forwarded this information to the US Justice Dept.
