Israel as an Extension of American Empire"Israel provided key support for the US in Iraq, including the construction of mock Iraqi neighborhoods and villages in the Negev where American troops could train. The American military government in Iraq, the "Civil Administration," was patterned after the Israeli Civil Administration that rules the Occupied Territories. Israeli involvement in the defense-related economies in the districts of most members of Congress explains to a great degree why Israel enjoys the uncritical support it does. The Israeli astronaut who died in the Challenger accident testifies to the intimate involvement of Israel in the most guarded parts of the American military, where even European countries are excluded. In fact, Israel has just taken delivery of advanced F-16s and helicopter gunships that have been denied Europe." |

Dousing the Plame Flames"...Fitzgerald’s investigation has enlightened the public on the role of Judith Miller, Arthur Sulzberger, Lewis Libby and the White House Iraq Group. But the real prize out there is Douglas Feith – the designated neo-con cherry picker responsible for systematically corrupting pre-war intelligence. An investigation of the Office of Special Plans will focus attention on his central role in orchestrating and coordinating the propaganda campaign that duped the American people. Fitzgerald has no mandate to investigate Feith. But your Senator does. If every concerned citizen would just pick up the phone and demand that their elected representatives provide answers about the OSP – we will be that much closer to understanding how and why we got into this war and that much closer to ending our military misadventures in Iraq." |

Opportunity Knocks for the Green PartyPresident George W. Bush’s approval numbers are falling faster than the values of Ken Lay’s Enron stock. Nationwide, Bush is at 39 percent, while in Maryland, he has dipped further to 33 percent. As Bush’s goes, so goes the GOP. It’s time for the Green Party to make its move. The Democrats are part of the corrupt Two-Party duopoly. The country needs an alternative. In MD, Kevin Zeese is running as a Green Party candidate for the U.S. Senate. |

Muslim unity, independence and Shariah law are the only route to peace and freedom for the world's Muslims"If history is a teacher, it should have taught Muslims that there is no reason to expect that our people, or nations will ever be free, or prosperous so long as they remain under the authority, and threats of violence and economic terror regularly handed out to the Muslim world, and peoples through the UN." |

Bush Doing Corporate Bidding While On The Clock
"Canadian negotiators are refusing to return to the table, to indicate to the world, the ineffectiveness of trying to negotiate with the Bush administration. "The American position is absolutely untenable," said Prime Minister Paul Martin. "We've got to step up with retaliation, in my view," Industry Minister David Emerson told the Star." |

Peretz is not Peres"ISRAELI democracy needs an opposition party, with an alternative world view and corresponding policies. The Labor Party will not be such, as long as Peres & Co. are smothering it. Therefore, the removal of Peres from the party leadership is a necessary precondition for any renewal. It seems that in the present circumstances, only Amir Peretz can achieve that." |

Neo-conservatism: The Cult of American Ascendancy or Moral Bankruptcy?"As has been demonstrated by their recent actions, especially the Libby case, there is no doubt that neocons don’t mind conning America to bring about their utopian ideals. It is they who are the greatest threat to the US and the rest of our planet. It is ironic that they have decided to conquer the world in the name of liberty and democracy, when they have so little regard for either." |
