Excerpt: Do Dots Connect to Police State?
Like several other law enforcement changes
proposed by the Bush administration
during the past two weeks, this move was
sharply criticized by civil libertarians,
one of whom cautioned that Bush was leading
the country toward a "police state."

Is this true???
I just read it on your website today.
Don't these guys have the authority to declare
marshal law?
(according to William Cooper in "Behold a Pale
Horse.")
MM
MM, I believe both statements to be true, but I can't personally verify
it.
The whore press refuses to ask ANY questions like that, because Bush
has
given them a cutesy nickname and now they're part of his team. They
protect
the man who stole the presidency instead of doing their jobs as journalists.

Liberto - The whore from Salon.com The truth
about an ugly lie - Tamara Baker's view
Excerpt: Instead of creating a new organizational
chart, Mr. Bush might have enlisted one man
to hose down our security bureaucracy:
Rudolph Giuliani. Instead of speechifying that
"only the United States Congress can create
a new department of government," he might
have followed the suggestion of Stansfield
Turner, the former C.I.A. chief who, like others,
has called for the president, "with a stroke
of the pen," to give the director of central intelligence
the authority to coordinate the 14 entities
in our intelligence apparatus. Rather than take such
old-time C.E.O.-style action, the president
wrapped himself in the mantle of Harry Truman.
These days that's a sure sign that the
buck-passing will never stop.

Liberto - The whore from Salon.com The truth
about an ugly lie - an opponent's view
Jennifer Liberto's article in Salon about
Mediawhoresonline was a fair article and provided
some good background information on how
it got started and what people think of it.
That is irrelevant.
I had been reading some rumors on the Web
that Liberto, in her research had promised one
of the people she interviewed, she would
keep his name anonymous. I sent an email to this
person and asked them to confirm if this
was indeed true. They replied (with some 'colorful
metaphors') that she did indeed promise
to keep their real name out of it.
This person and I are about as far apart
as you can get when it comes to our politics, but they have
always been a straight shooter with me,
and there is a healthy respect between us, so I believe them.
Jennifer Liberto has breached a trust that
outside marital, medical, and religious confidentiality is
one of the most important in society -
the promise that a journalist will protect their sources, and that
includes the request to remain anonymous.
Liberto, in my opinion, is a disgrace to her profession,
and should never be able to write for Salon
again.
"The spirit of Joseph McCarthy glows jealously
at the powers that John Ashcroft has achieved. While John slyly implies that any who
question his motives is a closet terrorist, he hides his inner glee that his bullying tactics
cover his complete ineptitude and incompetence or worse." --Bridget Gibson, Nucular winter, americaheldhostile.com
Nader's
sorry legacy The Green Party's goal: Ensuring that Republicans take over
the Senate. by Joe Conason
Excerpt: Nader often threatens to deliver both houses
of Congress to the Republicans unless the
Democrats surrender to his ideology. But
sometimes he will claim -- as he did not long
ago in Slate -- that Green votes actually
helped the Democrats gain control of the Senate,
by mobilizing left-leaning voters who otherwise
wouldn't have showed up at the polls.
In other words, he wants to have it both
ways. As the self-appointed scourge of the
Democratic Party, he feels entitled to
destroy it for its political sins, without assuming
any responsibility for the ill consequences
of his moralistic posturing.
Bush’s new Department of Homeland Defense: The
scaffolding of a police state
Excerpt: These measures are combined with constant
alerts, warnings and sensationalized publicity
of alleged terrorist threats, aimed at
keeping the American population off balance and creating
the conditions where some new catastrophe—perhaps
on an even more terrible scale than
September 11—can become the occasion for
an outright suspension of democratic rights
and the imposition of martial law.
The secretive manner in which the plan was
drawn up, and the sudden and improvised manner
in which it was released, have their own
significance. The process bespeaks an administration
in enormous crisis, concerned that its
political support is eroding, that the US and global
financial situation is balanced on a knife
edge, and that emergency powers may be required
to deal with domestic social unrest.
The most important thing to remember about the coming martial
law is that it's primary enforcer is
a religiously-insane, white-power gun nut and tobacco whore on
the B.F.E.E. payroll for big money.
Why do you think Ashcroft refuses to answer questions about Enron
contributions?
The Senate Democrats on Judiciary allowed this to happen.
Subject: are you that stupid?
ok what about the fabricated "Bush had complete
specific knowledge
of 9-11 months prior, but sat quiet to
make rich his defense buddies" lie?
Evnlee
Evnlee, you think that charge is fabricated?
I don't know if it's true or false, and neither do you.
Congress and the press are too afraid (or on the team) to ask.
When Clinton had a girlfriend, it was our business.
When 3000 died while Bush was sleeping, they say we have no right
to ask questions.
They're treating this like that Enron sub accident, like Bush's
abortion, like his AWOL,
like his secret arrest record, his DWIs and his cocaine arrests
- none of our business.

Liberto - The whore from Salon.com The truth
about an ugly lie - Buzzflash's view
Excerpt: GW Bush's image is extremely carefully
managed, probably more intensely than any
president in recent history. He gives almost
zero unscripted talks, expresses minimal
extemporaneous thoughts, still mispronounces
"nukuler" even when reading from a teleprompter.
He is protected from difficult questions,
schooled in basic sentence structure, makes sudden
political maneuvers to deflect increasingly
troubling accusations that his administration had
plenty of advance warning of 9/11 and did
little to prevent it. And please do not mention his
major ties to Enron at this time. Thank
you.

about an ugly lie - Eric Alterman's view
First off, FIFA (the international governing body
for soccer) runs the World Cup.
Major League Soccer (MLS) is purely an American
league with no financial ties to FIFA.
Even if the U.S. won the World Cup, it would not
mean a single extra dime for FIFA.
You of all people should adhere to the "follow
the money" principal!
Tommy "liberal soccer nut" Mack
Tommy, I don't know enough about soccer to keep the factions straight.
I meant whoever is fixing the biggest, world league, whatever that's
called.
...and following the money is exactly what I did.
If the corporate slugs pay each goalie 200K to let the USA win the World
Cup,
they'll get that back ten thousand times if soccer catches on in the
US.
It's like BIG OIL giving Bush $2MIL for his campaign.
They know he'll give them a $350BIL tax cut.
They read it in Pyongyang.
They read it in Mott.
They read it in San Francisco, especially Salon.com Chairman
and Editor in Chief David Talbot

Quotes
"Lieutenant Colonel Steve Butler is being suspended
for violating a prohibition on military personnel using contemptuous
words against the president. Apparently truth is not a defense, and when asked
to comment on the contempt that at least some military officers hold him in,
Bush said the comments didn't bother him until Dick Cheney told him what the word contempt
means." --Paul Begala, Crossfire, 06/07/02

about an ugly lie - The Daily Brew's view
Excerpt: "Vice President Cheney has been very successful
at staving off any inquiry about himself
or his administration's actions by saying
the Democrats are playing politics. Don't ask about
Bush's prosecution of the war on terror,
or what country we are going to invade next, that is
unpatriotic. Don't ask what the Bush administration
knew before 9/11 about the WTC attack,
it is all the Clinton Administration's
fault. And so goes Cheney's song and dance, and so far
it has kept the press at bay."

Quotes
"Just after September 11, President Bush told
us to go back to work, back to school, and back to New York, facing danger
and fear because otherwise it would mean that the terrorists had won. But as the government
moves toward eliminating privacy rights and embracing racial and religious profiling,
we must ask ourselves, don't such affronts to the Constitution mean that the terrorists
have won?"

about an ugly lie - Charles Utwater II's view
Excerpt: Irene is shadowed by carloads of gov't
agents wherever she goes: to the grocery store;
to the park to walk her German shepherd,
Solo; to the school where she teaches music.
She can't leave the house without these
packs of goons hot on her trail.
She wakes up with stun-gun marks and ugly
cuts and bruises on her face and body,
not remembering how they got there.
She has been hit with electromagnetic weapons
and she has been drugged. Psychotronic
weapons (mind control technology) are being
deployed against her. After these brutal
assaults, much of her memory is wiped out,
by drugs, hypnosis, and/or electronic means.
The
new Chris Rock movie blows?
From the previews, I'd have to agree.
The "Don't shoot the bomb," "Don't shoot me, either" is the best
of the bunch,
but that joke with the towel is probably what the two hours mostly
consist of.
If (I think you'd agree) Chris Rock is the funniest man in America,
why can't he make a funny film?
Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey aren't as funny as Rock, but they
make better movies,
but that's an assumption because I don't see Sandler or Carrey
movies.
Eddie Murphy was once the king, and he makes decent movies, probably,
but I haven't seen a
Murphy movie since maybe BH Cop. Richard Pryor was the funniest
man of all time, and they
gave him $50M to make five movies and they were mostly forgettable
chaffe.
So what causes the funniest man in America to make bad movies?
When Rock is on Oprah or Dave, he's funny as hell, just off-the-cuff.
When he interviewed people on his HBO show, he was great,
but when you give him $40M and a team of writers he blows?
What's up with that?
