"Do not submit. It is extremely critical that
repression be met full head-on and that it be resisted with every fiber
in our being. There is just absolutely no compromise that can be made with
it. As a matter of fact, compromise is what oppression feeds on. Without
compromise it would be defeated. Just as some cancers feed on hormones, compromise
becomes the hormone of oppression." -- Harry Belafonte on why it's important to resist
Bush & Ashcroft
Excerpt: You're probably not all that troubled about
what happened to Padilla.
You haven't hung out with Islamic extremists,
boned up on your bomb
-making skills or fantasized about Chernobylizing
the Washington Mall.
But don't forget: a court of law hasn't
proved that Jose Padilla did either.
And if George W. Bush has his way, it never
will.
Where
Have All the Black Helicopters Gone? Clinton Conspiracies vs. Bush Realities by Dwayne Eutsey
Excerpt: With the Bush administration coming very
close to accomplishing exactly what these
conservatives feared Clinton was doing,
I have to wonder where are they all now?
In less than two years, Bush has done more
to imperil civil rights and basic democratic
principles in this country than Clinton
could even do in the fevered imaginations of
rightwing conspiracists. And yet,
the silence on the right, as they say, is deafening.
Students
ordered to respect the Unelected Fraud
Bush was invited to speak at Ohio State
by the graduating class.
An announcer instructed the crowd that
all the university's speakers
deserve to be treated with respect and
that anyone demonstrating or
heckling would be subject to expulsion
and arrest. The announcer
urged that Bush be greeted with a "thunderous"
ovation.
In my mind, what happened today is as egregious
as a stolen election,
because it's a direct attack on our First Amendment
rights. Telling students
of a taxpayer-funded public university that they
cannot stage a silent,
non-violent protest or they will face expulsion,
arrest, and surrender of
their diplomas is against everything this country
stands for.
The whore press isn't going to say a word about
it (well, I have to hand it
to MSNBC. They did. AP, however, amended their
story. I'm sure Mr. Rove
made a few phone calls.) It's up to those on
the Web to keep this one alive.
I'm wondering if it would do any good at all to
form a coalition of Dem/liberal
websites. We all have to fight back; God knows
the tutu-wearing Dem elected
officials sure as hell aren't. (Where the f#*$&k
is Al Gore? Sorry for the potty
mouth, but he said he'd fight for us. He's about
two years too late.) If we all got
together (and I mean bartcop.com, buzzflash.com,
democrats.com, MWO,
democraticunderground.com, failureisimpossible.com
and a cast of thousands
besides,) and got everyone on the same page,
the din would be incredible.

Subject: Answer to which of these
are not legal
Which of the following was NOT legalized by the "Patriot Act":
A) "Black bag" searches of homes, offices, without showing search
warrant.
B) Copying records of public libraries, credit card companies,
banks, hospitals, hotels.
C) Wiretapping attorney-client phone calls without judicial approval.
D) Preemptive executions, if authorized by the Attorney General.
Bart,
I was hoping that when you said that all of the
above are true you were just kidding.
I have been reading through analysis of this
Patriot Act and don't see anything that relates to number #4.
Which is execution by AssKKKroft, we didn't really
let them do this did we?
ed...
Ed, why do you think I've been screaming for months?
The Patriot Act provides that ANYONE that
Bush or Ashcroft says
is "a friend of terra" can be secretly
executed without a trial.
The Founding Fathers would, I believe, give their lives to prevent this
from happening,
but the gelding Democrats are bound and determined to give Bush everything
he wants.
Bush is
my president! He's the
boss, whatever he says!
Tim
the Whore's Sunday Guests
Bishop W. Gregory, Father D. Cozzens
and Father S. Rossetti,
I wonder, will he go after his Catholics with the same zeal he
used
when pursuing "important constitutional
matters" inside Bill Clinton's zipper?
Not a chance - for two reasons:
1. Mr Scaife won't pay for a Catholic sex scandal.
There's no tax cut in it for him.
2. This is a centuries-old conspiracy to rape thousands of little
boys.
No way that measures up to "possible obstruction
of justice" by a legally-elected Democrat.
I received the JulieFest2002 video yesterday
and want you to know
that my love abounds for you - and those
who assisted in this huge endeavor -
for pulling this off and having a record for
those of us who didn't make it to the
grand historical festival in honor of Julie.
I had a multitude of emotions watching the video,
but the best was the joy
in knowing there are so many wonderful people
out there who share a love
for freedom and honor for "true" heroes.
I look forward for a reunion----one in which I
won't miss..........

Dear Salon,
I signed up for Salon Premium this year, and when
asked why by the website questionnaire
I checked "to support Salon." At the time
I believed that Salon seriously examined current
events and culture free of the right-wing bias
that dominates American corporate media,
and I wanted to support such an effort.
But upon closer scrutiny, it appears that Salon
is just as willing to engage in anti-progressive
bias as FOX news, CNN or National Review.
In addition to publishing regular diatribes by
David Horowitz (which are little more than Republican
Party propaganda pieces devoid of fact-checking)
and a defense of the McCarthyist scribe Andrew
Sullivan, Salon most recently published a spitball
attack on David Brock and a woefully inaccurate
sliming of the web site mediawhoresonline.com.
It's not that I object to a range of viewpoints
on such issues, its just that when I pay for news I
at least expect it to be accurate, honest and
intellectually balanced. There are already plenty of
right-wing "news" sources who do spin for conservative
causes, without regard for the accuracy
of what they write. I expected that Salon
was better, but to my great disappointment I was mistaken.
Please don't bother e-mailing me for a renewal
of my premium subscription
-- I'll spend my money where I can find accurate,
unbiased news.
Remember: If you send salon.com money, you might as well send it directly
to the Bush campaign.
Salon gives your money to David Horowitz to attack people like you
and me.
Excerpt: {Gramm}went on to assert that because the
D's have both
an African-American and a Hispanic high
on their ticket,
they are trying to "divide Texans based
on race."
But the swing left him wide open to the
obvious counter-punch
-- that by finally including African-Americans
and Hispanics,
the Democrats are in fact ending the old
divisions based on race.
Subject: Minority Dirty Bomb
Report
Hey Bart,
Since the dirty bomber was picked up and had his
rights rescinded on the basis
of a crime that was at best hypothetical, maybe
this was a just a publicity tie-in
with the new movie, Minority Report, in
which the police arrest people on the
basis of crimes they are going to commit. Somebody
should check to see if the
studio has made any recent contributions to the
Repugnicans.

Subject: Juliefest video
Bart,
I received the video yesterday and I have just
one thing to say:
Wow!
This video is a real documentary - it could be
broadcast on TV.
I watched it with my mother and she loved it
too!
She was flabbergasted at what happened to Julie...
she had heard of her before, but never really
heard her story.
She said it reminded her of the old days when
she was an activist in the 60's and 70's.
She said it gave her hope for the future.
It gives me hope too!
Thanks
So far, the reviews are great.
It was an amazing and unforgettable evening documented by a professional.
I'm surprised how often I get e-mail with a bad return address.
I don't mean stalker mail, I mean friendly mail.
People who donate or purchase a Juliefest tape send me
an e-mail address that bounced when I try to thank them.
I'm just saying...it wouldn't hurt to check your e-mail address.

September 4: businessman and commentator
Ben Cohen ran a mock
"help wanted" ad reading, "Serious enemy
needed to justify Pentagon
budget increase. Defense contractors desperate."
Same
day: a CBS
poll found that 66 percent of Americans
did not think a recession
(extant, but not yet confirmed) was reason
enough to tap Social Security.
September 6: Bush invented another
exception. "The only time to use
Social Security money is in times of war,
times of recession, or times
of severe emergency."
September 11: he had all three. Lucky
Bush.

Kelly
Osbourne
I have a dead-trees article that says MTV admitted Kelly Osbourne
was NOT singing live at the MTV Movie Awards last
week.
I'm old, and I've heard/seen every musical act there is, and owned
a rock club,
(which doesn't make me an expert) but I'll bet real money that
what they broadcast
was a live performance.
It's my semi-professional opinion that Kelly was singing
live.
It's very, very, very, very hard to lip-sync perfectly.
I've seen performances by everybody from the Beatles to Screamin'
Freeman
and it's easy as hell to detect a sync job, but why would MTV
say it was if it wasn't?
Could somebody who taped the performance comment?
Did we see a live performance on tape?
You'd have to debate better than shabby to convince me that was
a cheat-job.
...anyone?

Excerpt: But instead of investigating the bombing
as attempted murder,

further victimizing them by false arrest

transporting the bomb that nearly killed

What happened to Salon? I've noticed that
it has veered in a political direction
that I can easily get from our base military's
Stars and Stripes everyday for 50 cents.
Why not dare to be different from CNN and NPR,

infiltrated by the Reagan right? Living
overseas, I get enough of the rightwing viewpoint.
That's why I don't read you anymore.

Salon recently helped lead the fabricated claim by the Bushitas that
the Clintons
DID trash the hell out of the White House.But when you read past the
headlines,
they said, "Of course, there was no evidence since the Bush people
didn't keep records."
Salon was once a liberal web site.
Then they hired unforgivable whores such as David Horowitz.
Now they print whatever Clinton lies they think will make the most
money.
Hey, Dave!
Those ditto-monkey dollars feel good, don't they?
