    by Manuel Valenzuela
    To understand the above mentioned quote in the context of the so-called “war on terror” one must rise above the incessant government/corporate media haze of all-encompassing propaganda that has permeated our society, causing us to become confused energies lost in the consuming darkness of ignorance.

    We European citizens (Italians, French, Germans and Britons) want to talk to all American citizens. On 2 November 2004 you will face a choice between two candidates and two parties, but more than that. You have a chance to take a giant stride forward for the good of all humanity. You can choose between the future and the past, between reason and ignorance between true compassion and mere ideology. This is your moment you must not falter. We love your country; we love the American people and (…)

    Combat veterans wounded in Iraq were left waiting weeks and even months for proper medical attention at military bases. According to an officer, their living conditions were so unacceptable for injured soldiers he said they "were being treated like dogs." Then the Pentagon underreported the number wounded.
    The Bush administration, referring to veterans of the war in Iraq, told a House panel that they would avoid last year’s "mistakes" of leaving sick and injured troops (…)

    WASHINGTON - A new television ad sponsored by U.S. veterans strongly questions President Bush’s case for war in Iraq, but the group behind it said on Wednesday the spot was not meant to benefit either presidential candidate.
    First aired hours before the last presidential debate between Republican Bush and Democratic Sen. John Kerry, the ad shows a U.S. Iraq war veteran talking about the (…)

    ’It’s important to stay in the fight’
    by RON MENCHACA
    A young Marine stares confidently at the camera, partially committed to a smile, brown eyes frozen in the mental dance common among ambitious young people plotting a course in life.
    Charleston native James Campbell peers down at the picture, taken in 1944 shortly after he was drafted for World War II, and shakes his head.
    Now 79, bearded and gray, the lifelong educator and labor and civil rights activist can’t help but reflect on (…)

  • Bush Earpiece Story: Much more than the Bulge

    Was President Bush wired during the debates? This ’conspiracy theory’ gained traction on the net due to the now infamous picture of a rectangular bulge under Bush’s jacket. But the story doesn’t end with the bulge, there is much more evidence that Bush is using an earpiece than just the picture. Here’s what we know so far:
    John Reynolds noticed that Bush said, "let me finish" to nobody in particular 60 seconds into a 90 second answer. And it’s _the way_ he says it, sort of a mutter under (…)

    THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES & SEEING WHAT IS BUSH’S BRAIN DOING???
    I watched as much of the last Presidential debate as I could stomach, even on the tiny browser window of the New York Times live video feed I was watching (4:00 am in somewhere in Western Europe) some thing became completely obvious...... Bush was listening to something, listening intently even sometimes as he spoke, and especially when he was first to answer the question. Importantly. anyone can see this for themselves (…)

    Branch Warfare and the Evolution of Aggression
    by Manuel Valenzuela
    The pages of history, those monuments to humankind’s brief rule over the planet, are replete with violence, death and destruction. Indeed, it can be argued successfully that war, genocide, ethnic cleansing and human violence against each other have defined humanity’s tumultuous existence on Earth. We are inseparable from death and destruction, suffering and violence, having become creatures addicted to the malice (…)

    Filmmaker Michael Moore told an enthusiastic audience here on Wednesday that "we are doomed" if President George W. Bush is re-elected.
    "I fear, really, that we are doomed on some level here. We are so close to not being able to pull it back, to turn it around — to get control of our country back in our hands," Moore told a packed auditorium just hours before the third and final presidential debate. Moore’s "Slacker Uprising Tour" was held at the Celebrity Theatre.
