Wake up and smell the fascism
http://www.oldamericancentury.org/14pts.htmIt is in times of fascism rising that armies of ignorance are once more resuscitated from the bowels of a society bordering on the edge of mass psychosis. The America at the dawn of the twenty-first century is no exception...
You're a U.S. citizen landing at a major airport from abroad. You're pulled out of line at customs, arrested, thrown in jail for a month and then spirited off to a military prison.
http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/usatoday/20050304/cm_usatoday/padillasindefinitedetentionputsyourrightsatriskNearly three years later, you're still there, never charged with any crime. The government claims it can hold you forever without answering to any judge or court.
More rights are being sacrificed monthly on the great satanic, neocon Zionist altar of lies, which are fed as a steady, daily diet through US 'news' outlets to the American public. Forget the Movietone news clips of WW2...which captive audiences were forced to watch (early brainwashing) for a few minutes in movie theaters before the film they had paid to see lit up the screen.
http://www.rense.com/general63/3five.htmThe electronic media of today is a light year ahead...and makes the Movietone newsreels appear, in comparison, like a Disney cartoon. Today, we don't go to the theaters for 'news' any longer. Instead, we are drenched in 'news'...sordid, dripping audio and visual images of death, lies, propaganda and corrupted 'truth' which is spewed from countless millions of radios and televisions around the clock. And beyond the sounds and images are, doubtless, embedded electromagnetic frequencies and other unregulated technologies which further program the hive mentality and abject obedience.

House Republican leaders overcame earlier concerns and decided yesterday to give President Bush most of the emergency war spending money he requested last month, including $600 million for a compound in Baghdad that will be the largest U.S. embassy in the world.

The new compound will help consolidate the 1,054 trailers in Iraq that house 3,693 employees under State Department authority. Many of them are working in a former palace of Saddam Hussein, with the ballrooms divided into thousands of plywood cubicle offices.

Deficits and Deceit
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/04/opinion/04krugman.html?hpAnd the consequence of the failure of the starve-the-beast theory is a looming fiscal crisis - Mr. Greenspan isn't wrong about that. The middle class won't give up programs that are essential to its financial security; the right won't give up tax cuts that it sold on false pretenses. The only question now is when foreign investors, who have financed our deficits so far, will decide to pull the plug.
Freedom Ain't Free: It's $2.57 Trillion Per Year

As a result, Bush hardly ever utters the name of the man he once declared wanted ''dead or alive'' and repeatedly promised would be caught.

Full text of Human Rights Record of the US in 2004
http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/200503/03/eng20050303_175406.htmlIn 2004 the atrocity of US troops abusing Iraqi POWs exposed the dark side of human rights performance of the United States. The scandal shocked the humanity and was condemned by the international community. It is quite ironic that on Feb. 28 of this year, the State Department of the United States once again posed as the "the world human rights police" and released its Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2004. As in previous years, the reports pointed fingers at human rights situation in more than 190 countries and regions (including China) but kept silent on the US misdeeds in this field. Therefore, the world people have to probe the human rights record behind the Statue of Liberty in the United States.
