"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands
which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and
equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions
of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these
Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness--That to secure these Rights,
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed,
that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive to these Ends, it is the Right of the People
to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such Principles and organizing
its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness" . . .

Editor's Note: The link above has been on this home page for most of the year because, G. W. Bush, Dick Cheney and most of their cabinet are being sued for 7 billion dollars by the families of 9/11, for helping to plan and assure that the 9/11 attacks were carried out as planned. This case first went before a U.S. judge on 1/3/2005, and it's currently being appealed in the 9th circuit court in Ca... Regardless of what political party you favor, I feel when the president of the U.S.A. is being sued for 7 billion dollars, it's the medias obligation to bring these facts to the American people.

Dennis Kucinich | The Buck Does Not Stop with Libby
 Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH), who led the effort in the House against going to war in Iraq, issued the following statement on the indictments handed down today by Special Council Patrick Fitzgerald:

These indictments are not about a single aide, it is about an Administration that went to any length to "sell" the war in Iraq and mislead the public....
....On October 20th, Kucinich introduced a Resolution of Inquiry to demand the White House turn over all white papers, minutes, notes, emails or other communications kept by the White House Iraq Group (WHIG) to the Congress.

A Resolution of Inquiry is a rare House procedure used to obtain documents from the Executive Branch. Under House rules, Kucinich's resolution is referred to committee, and action must be taken in committee within 14 legislative days.

US Forces 'Used Chemical Weapons' on City of Fallujah
Powerful new evidence emerged yesterday that the United States dropped massive quantities of white phosphorus on the Iraqi city of Fallujah during the attack in November of 2004. The attack killed insurgents and civilians with appalling burns that are the signature of this weapon. A video documentary entitled "Fallujah: the Hidden Massacre," provides what it claims is clinching evidence that incendiary bombs known as Mark 77 - a new, improved form of napalm - were used in the attack on Fallujah. This action is in breach of the UN Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons of 1980, which only allows such use against military targets.

**********

A news program on Italian satellite TV, RAI News 24, has substantiated the claim that the US military has been exploiting the dual use of white phosporus. In its siege of Fallujah, the chemical was used on the civilian populace. The story is in today's Repubblica. The Bush Adminstration and the DoD are about to be shamed before the eyes of the world.
Shocking revelation RAI News 24. Use of chemical weapons by the US military in Iraq.
Veteran admits: Bodies melted away before us.

This is how the US "took" Fallujah.

WASHINGTON - (KRT) - Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson caused heartburn in Washington and consternation in Latin America on Tuesday in calling for the
 assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

"I think we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war," Robertson said during Monday evening's broadcast of "The 700 Club," his Christian news-talk television show. "We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability."
http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/politics/12456432.htm

Editor's Note to the story above:  Being a Christian means to be "Christ Like" or "Like Jesus Christ".  Jesus came to earth and gave his life in the promotion of world peace.  So any "So called Christian" who is promoting the killing of other people as Pat Robertson has done, thus breaking God's commandments... Is not a Christian at all, but a wolf in sheep's clothing, an evil person, working for the dark side etc...  Personally, I feel sorry for any and all people who have been suckered into giving Pat Robertson any money !
After all, based on the wording of the Christian Bible...
 Pat Robertson's words are nothing short of declaring war against God Himself.
Sincerely,
Reverend Neil Colton

Land of The Free or Dictator Bush's Plans coming Together?
Record numbers in US prisons
The number of people in US prisons and jails rose again last year to 2,267,787 people, continuing a trend of increasing incarceration rates that has gone on unabated for more than two decades. According to a report released in October by the US Department of Justice, by the end of 2004 there were 1.4 million prisoners in
federal and state facilities and 700,000 in local jails.
One out every 109 US males was incarcerated in a state or federal prison in 2004, reflecting a 32 percent increase in the number of male prisoners since 1995. In 1980 the number in prison or jail in the US totaled 503,000. By 1990 this had doubled to over a million and by mid-year 2002 it doubled again, to surpass the 2 million mark.
The historical increase in the US prison population has been out of proportion to the general rise in population. In 2004 the US incarceration rate hit 486 sentenced inmates (those with sentences exceeding one year) per 100,000 residents, up 18 percent from 411 per 100,000 a decade ago, according to the government report.

Email Forward Of The Week !.
NOT A NEWS STORY... OR IS IT ?
There are two things Navy Seals are always taught:
1. Keep your priorities in order.
2. Know when to act without hesitation.
A college professor, avowed atheist and active member of the A.C.L.U. was teaching his college class. He shocked several of his students when he flatly  stated that once and for all he was going to prove that there was no God.
Addressing the ceiling he shouted: "GOD, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this  platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes!" The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes went by. "I'm waiting God, if you're real, knock me off this platform!!!"

Again after four minutes, the professor taunted God saying, "Here I am, God-!! I'm still waiting!!!"
His count down got down to the last couple minutes when a Navy Seal, who was just released from the Navy, after serving in Afghanistan and Iraq and had newly registered for the class, walked up to the Professor. The Seal hit him full force in the face. This sent the Professor tumbling from his platform.
The Professor was out cold. The students were stunned and shocked. They began to babble in confusion. The Seal nonchalantly took his seat in the front row and sat in silence. The class looked at him and fell silent also waiting. Eventually, the professor came to and was noticeably shaken.
He looked at the Seal in the front row. When the professor regained his senses and could speak, he asked: "What
the heck is the matter with you? Why did you do that?"
The Seal said, "God was really busy, protecting America's soldiers, who are protecting
your right to say stupid things and act like an ass. So, He sent me."

Joke Break !
THIS IS A JOKE,  IT'S NOT A NEWS STORY, OR IS IT ?
Service
At one time in my life, I thought I had a handle on the meaning of the word "service."
"It's the act of doing things for other people."
Then I heard these terms which reference the word SERVICE:
Internal Revenue Service
Postal Service
Telephone Service
Civil Service
City & County Public Service
Customer Service
Service Stations
Then I became confused about the word "service ." This is not what I thought "service" meant.
So today I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to "service " a few of his cows. BAM! It all came into perspective. Now I understand what all those "service" agencies are doing to us.
I hope you now are as enlightened as I am.

Weapons of mass destruction thrown into the sea years ago present danger
now - and the Army doesn't know where they all are
John M.R. Bull
Sunday, October 30, 2005 by The Daily Press (Hampton Roads, Virginia)
...It's long been known that some chemical weapons went into the ocean, but records obtained by the Daily Press show that the previously classified weapons-dumping program was far more extensive than ever suspected.
The Army now admits that it secretly dumped 64 million pounds of nerve and mustard agents into the sea, along with 400,000 chemical-filled bombs, land mines and rockets and more than 500 tons of radioactive waste - either tossed overboard or packed into the holds of scuttled vessels...

***** In Today's America There Is A More Powerful Act Than Voting Blue...
And That's Buying Blue ! *****
You may have voted blue, but every day you unknowingly help dump millions of dollars into the conservative war chest. By purchasing products and services from companies that donate heavily to conservatives, we have been compromising our own interests as liberals and progressives.

BuyBlue.org is a concerted effort to lift the veil of corporate patronage, so consumers can make informed buying decisions that coincide with their principles.

Currently, we are developing an extensive and interactive website where users will be able to monitor corporate activity in real time. We cannot do this alone; we need an army of Blue buyers to be the eyes and ears of this movement. All we have to do is put our money where our mouth is to make it profitable to be ethical.

Our collective buying power WILL make a difference, and we WILL be heard.

Some Thoughts
And the Nintendo generation is all part of their plan !
Welcome to modern day slavery... Where the draft is coming back, the new war machines run with controls much like Nintendo, Where it takes 2-3 incomes to keep an average house running...
What is modern day slavery you might ask ? It's when and where one income from one 40 hour work week will not cover your cost of living. Food, rent, medical, dental, the cloths you wear, insurance, a car, taxes, etc.. ALL OF IT. Where we buy cheap from companies that don't pay their help enough to get off of food stamps unless they have more than one income. Where both parents are working while the TV and video games do the babysitting and big brother is deciding what they should see or play. Where family closeness all but disappears because everyone in the family is too involved with self preservation to see the big picture. Followed by war, lots of wars, a thinning of the herd as some would say,
separating the rich from the poor, and eventually....
More on Modern Day Slavery coming soon... We're living it, so we might as well talk about it.
