The award for oddest geopolitical couple of 2005 goes to the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Houston-based Halliburton.
You might not think that a charter member of President Bush’s "axis of evil" could enlist the oil-services firm once run by Vice President Cheney to bolster its bargaining position with an international community intent on (…) -

9/11 Truth Movement Only Just Beginning
26 January 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
1 commentSelf-appointed leaders of the 9/11 truth movement have come out in recent days to deliver a simple message.
Lay down. Submit. Give up. There’s nothing you can do about it.
We’ve been told to believe that there’s no possibility anyone in authority connected with the 9/11 attacks will ever be brought to justice.
Elsewhere we’ve seen prominent Internet columnists completely giving up the ghost, stating that the evil that controls the planet will never be defeated and that they’d rather (…) -

it’s Time To Ignore Michael Ruppert Comment By Paul Fassa Internet Trailer Park Trash 1-23-5
In my opinion, Mike Ruppert is at best a blowhard gatekeeper who only cares that he is the ultimate mouthpiece of the alternative and Internet media, cashing in big time, or at worst, he is is a disinformation agent for one or more of our international alphabet soup intel agencies. When he first came to my attention, I bought his early 9/11 video. I was impressed, though a little bothered over (…) -
Either You are With Us or Against Us: A Discourse on Terrorism

Without justice, there can be no peace. He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.... Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter... Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation.

2 commentsThe Truth Shall Set You Back Lying Is No Sin For Bush’s Minions Margaret Carlson January 13, 2005 At CBS, four high-level people (five, if you count Dan Rather giving up his anchor chair) have been fired for being taken in by phony documents. You may not think that’s enough, but what strikes me is how rare such firings are. When there’s lying, cheating and stealing on Wall Street, a prosecutor has to have the corporate executive dead to rights - at Fannie Mae, at Marsh & McLennan, at (…)
