It's the Manipulated Economy, Stupid:
USA Today ran an article showing that "When it comes
to President Bush's approval rating --the number that
measures his political health --one factor seems more
powerful than any Oval Office address or legislative initiative."

Richard Neville: Poor, poor pitiful Oz:
When the Prime Minister of Hungary, Ferenc
Gyurcsany, was caught telling the truth to his
party about the lies he had told the electorate,
and how he had "screwed up", citizens with flowers
nd the odd Molotov cocktail rushed to Parliament
and state TV. When John Howard was caught lying
about refugees who "threw their children overboard",
he was voted back into office.

For God's Sake
By Philip J. Rappa
It’s been said the world has changed since 911. That’s
true for our government is indiscernible. It’s
unrecognizable. It no longer adheres to the principles
of our founding papers. It no longer accepts The Bill
of Rights as the law of the land. No longer does it
recognize treaties, proclamations or conventions. Continue

Revolution just Ain't what it used to be
By Mickey Z.
Thomas Jefferson can pronounce: "Every generation
needs a new revolution." But that doesn't mean I can.
Honest Abe once declared: "Any people anywhere being
inclined and having the power have the right to rise
up and shake off the existing government, and force a
new one that suits them better." Hey, I'd love a
government that suits me-and most humans-better,
but making plans to "shake off the existing government
and force a new one" would just about guarantee you a
place on that secret no-fly list. Continue

president proclaims it necessary. Continue

The Sound & The Fury
An Interview with president Hugo Chavez
I believe words have great weight, and I want people to
know exactly what I mean. I'm not attacking President Bush;
I'm simply counterattacking. Bush has been attacking
the world, and not just with words--with bombs. When
I say these things I believe I'm speaking for many people,
because they too believe this moment is our opportunity
to stop the threat of a U.S. empire that uses the U.N. to
justify its aggression against half the world. Continue

corruption, crime, and decadence intrinsic to Western
capitalism as we know it. Continue
