Palestinians Escape Israeli Siege

Gazans Escape Israeli Siege  - youtube video

Israel's criminal, collective-punishment blockade of Gaza has boiled over. The people of Gaza are desperate.
Over 350,000 went into Egypt today to buy basic supplies like food, fuel, and medicine. 
Will the media again excuse Israel for its war-crimes by calling these people "militants"?

A Tax Rebate Won't Fix This Mess

If we were smart, we'd probably use it to pay down some principle on our credit line, which would 
over time get us out from under on that dreaded monthly bill a lot sooner. But if we did what most 
people are likely to do--pay off some bills with it, or one month's mortgage, chances are, given how
 hard we're all working just to keep going, that we'd then slack off somewhere else just to catch a 
little break--maybe turn down one assignment, or if we're on an hourly job, turn down some overtime 
and catch a little more shuteye--and in the end, we wouldn't be adding anything to the economy at all.

Sibel Edmonds Story Breaks Worldwide

Sibel Edmonds is the former FBI Turkish language translator who has reported that officials within the
US government have conspired to sell (on the black market) nuclear secrets to agents of foreign governments. 
She has been trying to get her story out there, and as you might imagine, the corrupt corporate media in 
the US won't talk about it. Let me state her assertion again.

US Officials Sold Nuclear Secrets to Agents of Foreign Governments!!!

Among those her website accuses of this high treason are current members of the US Congress

Roy Blunt (R-Montana), Dan Burton (R - Indiana), and Tom Lantos (D - California) as well as former Speaker
of the House (the US version of a Prime Minister) Dennis Hastert, and other well known insiders and former
state department officials Brent Scowcroft, Marc Grossman, Douglas Feith, and Richard Perle.   

The US media has ignored this story: the press in other countries understand its significance. 
The story first broke in the Times of London, now it is being reported around the world. Major articles
have been published in major newspapers in Turkey, Israel, India and Pakistan. Everybody knows.
The world will no longer listen to US rhetoric about how the so-called "War on Terror" is keeping nuclear
technology out of the hand of terrorists. It is safe to assume that the treason reported by Sibel Edmonds
led to the nuclear proliferation network of Pakistani icon AQ Khan. 
 
Of all the Bush Administration scandals (there really are too many to count) this one is by far the most serious. 
There should be an immediate congressional and criminal investigation into Sibel Edmonds' assertions.  
If what she says is true, Washington corruption has spread nuclear technology around the world.
The price that we the people may have to pay for this corruption could be unimaginable.

New Hampshire Vote Fraud?

First let me say that I have no horse in the US Presidential race. I don't care if the winner is Hillary Clinton
or Barack Obama, or Al Gore for that matter. I will be happy with which ever Democrat wins, provided that they restore
Habeas Corpus and shut down the Guantanamo Bay Gulag. All of that said, it looks as if the results of last night's
New Hampshire Primary are fraudulent.

Machine-Counted vs Hand-Counted Ballot Results

There is a distinct difference between the results in places where ballots were hand-counted compared to the results in places
where machines counted the vote. Diebold machines counted about 80% of the total vote. They gave Clinton a victory over
Obama, 39% to 36%. However, in places where votes were counted by hand, the score is Obama 38%, Hillary 34%. Isn't that curious?
Mitt Romney also appears to have benefited from the voting machines. Paper ballots gave him 25% of the vote while the
machines gave him 33%.

There are also reports that votes for Ron Paul were not counted. One claim involves a small town called Sutton.
The official results said that Paul had received zero votes in Sutton. However, three members of one family there
claim that they had all voted for Paul. Clearly, their votes were not counted. Is this just a coincidence?
There were also other places where Paul received zero votes. Were Paul voters similarly disenfranchised there?

It looks very much like the vote was rigged last night. A recount is in order, or would be if the machines had a paper trail.
I urge everyone to make an issue out of this, and to pass this story along. American democracy is in grave danger.
Elections have been stolen in the past. We can all work to stop it from happening again.

Freedom of Speech Abolished by H.R. 1955

HR 1955 Criminalizes Free Speech - youtube video

The thought crime bill has passed in the House of Representatives. Do not let it pass in the senate! Contact your Senator and tell them to vote no on S 1959.

Whistleblower : U.S. Government Officials Conspired to Sell U.S. Nuclear Secrets

Edmonds contends that an international nuclear smuggling ring, associated with the intelligence agencies of Pakistan,
Turkey, and Israel, has been permitted to operate in the U.S. with impunity. Our government, she claims, knew all about it yet,
in order to placate the foreign governments involved, allowed a vast criminal enterprise to carry out its activities,
including money laundering, narcotics trafficking, and espionage involving efforts to steal U.S. nuclear technology.

Bush Convenes "Plunge Protection Team"

The US Treasury is about to shower households with rebate cheques to head off a full-blown slump, and save the Bush presidency.
On Friday, Mr Bush convened the so-called Plunge Protection Team for its first known meeting in the Oval Office.
The black arts unit - officially the President's Working Group on Financial Markets - was created after the 1987 crash.
