Breaking the Silence of the Night
By Ron Kovic
Like many Americans who served in Vietnam and those now
serving in Iraq, and countless other human beings throughout
history, I had been willing to give my life for my country
with little knowledge or awareness of what that really meant.
I trusted and believed and had no reason to doubt the sincerity
or motives of my government. It would not be until many
months later at the Bronx Veterans Hospital in New York
that I would begin to question whether I and the others who
had gone to that war had gone for nothing. Continue

Lied Into War - An Interview With Daniel Ellsberg
Video & TranscriptThe most famous whistleblower of the
ietnam era, former State and Defence Department official,
Daniel Ellsberg, is speaking out, calling on Bush Administration
officials to do what he did with the Pentagon papers more
than 30 years ago and leak secret documents and war plans
to the public. Ellsberg claims President Johnson lied to take
America to war in Vietnam. He accuses President Bush of
lying to take America to war with Iraq and he believes secret
groundwork is being laid for a war with Iran. Click to view

The Assassins of TruthBy Charles SullivanI charge that the
government is engaged in immoral and criminal conduct
on a global scale. That it does not conform to the norms of
civil society; that it is sociopathic, and flagrantly violates
domestic and international law. The form of government that
we have does not serve the citizenry—it preys upon them.
It is not a government of the people, for the people. It is
government of the corporations, for the corporations, by
the corporations—a corporate Plutocracy. Continue

The End of the U.S. as a Civilized Nation
By Ted Rall
The recently passed Military Commissions Act removes the
United States from the ranks of civilized nations. It codifies
racial and political discrimination, legalizes kidnapping and
torture of those the government deems its political enemies,
and eliminates habeas corpus--the ancient precept that prevents
the police from arresting and holding you without cause--a
basic protection common to all (other) modern legal systems,
and one that dates to the Magna Carta. Continue

The Dumbing Down of America

Something is amiss in the great nation called America. Ominous
sirens warning this reality can be heard emanating loudly
through invisible winds of change circulating our towns and

to the masses they are being transformed and conditioned,
becoming the entity the elite have long sought, the culmination
of decades of social engineering designed to make of hundreds
of millions the slaves of times past and the automatons
of the future. Continue

Over the past six years, our “my way or the highway” president

carefully constructed “sunshine policy,” which was slowly
drawing the bizarre Hermit Kingdom back into the light, and
then took every opportunity to personally insult the country’s

such as me from their country -- manipulate political
debate in America. Unfortunately, the U.S. government's
paranoia has evolved far beyond a fear of particular
individuals and taken on a much more insidious form:
the fear of ideas. Continue

QUOTE:
War is Peace
By Irene Rheinwald
Israel and the United States, as self-styled
purveyors of democracy and freedom, have ironically fallen
into their own propaganda trap. In seeking to rationalize
aggressions towards Arabs and Muslims, collectively termed
“terrorists”, both nations employ techniques reminiscent of
totalitarian regimes, and decry the “enemy” as fascist, irrational
“evildoers” naturally bent upon violence. Continue

The Axis of Powers; Nazi Tactics by Israel and America in the
Phony War On Terror
By Joel Fischer
Terror bombing, illegal invasion of other countries using
trumped up excuses, dehumanization of the enemy as inferior,
widespread use of torture; these are exactly the same tactics
the Nazis used. But these tactics will never produce either
the peace or victory the Axis of Powers claim they want.
Remember WWII. The Nazis lost! Continue

9/11 Panel Members Weren’t Told of Meeting
By PHILIP SHENON
Members of the Sept. 11 commission said today that

White House meeting in July 2001 at which George J.

Woodward’s 60 Minutes bloodbath
By Mike Whitney
Veteran journalist Bob Woodward can always be counted
on to tell the truth… after all the other options have
been exhausted. His new book doesn’t veer too far
from the pattern he’s followed his entire career; one
minute he’s the “kingmaker” dishing up hearty-helpings
of literary tripe like “Bush at War” and “Plan of Attack”
and the next minute he’s ramming a scimitar into the
lower lumbar region of his prey. Continue

QUOTE:
A Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy?
By Mike Whitney
Next week, President Bush will sign the “Military Commissions Act
of 2006” into law. - The law will allow Bush to imprison anyone
he chooses and abuse them as he sees fit. It places Bush above
the law, our first American monarch. Continue

The New Face of Class War
By Paul Craig Roberts
The United States is the first country in history to destroy
the prospects and living standards of its labor force. It is
amazing to watch freedom-loving libertarians and free-market
economists serve as apologists for the dismantling of the l
adders of upward mobility that made the America of old
an opportunity society. Continue

Why I'm Banned in the USA
By Tariq Ramadan
My experience reveals how U.S. authorities seek to
suppress dissenting voices and -- by excluding people
such as me from their country -- manipulate political
debate in America. Unfortunately, the U.S. government's
paranoia has evolved far beyond a fear of particular
individuals and taken on a much more insidious form:
