Would President Washington continue to warn against party faction and foreign influence? SHARE
Washington's 1796 Farewell Address to the nation emphasized the need for a unified federal government and warned against party faction and foreign influence. If he were alive today, what is the likelihood that our first President would change his mind about those two things?

Congressional Apology to Muslims imminent in the anthrax terrorism case? SHARE
Although few of the details are known, it is already patently clear that the 2001 anthrax mailings were an inside job and a false flag operation intended to lay the blame on uncooperative Arabs, and to frighten the rest of the world into waging war against "the enemies of civilization" in the Middle East.

Suicide or assassination? SHARE
The FBI's lead suspect in the September, 2001 anthrax attacks -- Bruce E. Ivins -- died Tuesday night, apparently by suicide, just as the Justice Department was about to charge him with responsibility for the attacks. The underreported implication is that the anthrax attacks were an inside job, and a false flag operation as well, because Muslims (and Saddam Hussein in particular) got the blame, and the Iraq war was the result.

Why does the United States use torture? SHARE
People often wonder why totalitarian governments tend to use torture to investigate crimes and to gather intelligence from prisoners of war; and many wonder why the US has followed that same path in conducting the "war on terror".
