"John Kerry and Teresa were at Arnold and Maria's Christmas do in Sun Valley.

 Kerry is as politically tone deaf now as he was during 2004.
 Too bad we couldn't convince Kerry to get into "intense conversation" with Bush when it counted.

 Bush's 'Death Squads'
   by Robert Parry  at consortiumnews.com

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Bush has pressed ahead with this hard-line strategy, in part by removing dissidents inside his
 administration while retaining or promoting his protégés. Bush also has started prepping his
 younger brother Jeb as a possible successor in 2008, which could help extend George W.'s
 war policies while keeping any damaging secrets under the Bush family's control.

 As a centerpiece of this tougher strategy to pacify Iraq, Bush is contemplating the adoption of
 the brutal practices that were used to suppress leftist peasant uprisings in Central America in
 the 1980s.   The Pentagon is "intensively debating" a new policy for Iraq called the "Salvador option,"
 Newsweek magazine reported on Jan. 9.

 The strategy is named after the Reagan-Bush administration's "still-secret strategy" of supporting
 El Salvador's right-wing security forces, which operated clandestine "death squads..."
 
 

 You really should take the time to read this whole story.
 They're not happy with just an eight-year crime spree - they want more.

 A mean and unholy ditch

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Ugly as this hateful half or more of Americans are, it's not entirely their fault. Their beliefs are at least
 partly the result of a sophisticated propaganda system perfected over decades by a consolidated
 corporate state media. Saturation has never been stronger. As we speak some 72% of Americans
 still believe there were WMD's in Iraq, and 75% believe that Saddam was supporting ben Laden.
 They did not each and independently arrive at such stupid conclusions on their own (if such mindless
 acceptance can even be called conclusions.) Indoctrinated by state propaganda, they then acted and
 continue to act accordingly---which is to say grotesquely in the eyes of the world.

 I do not have to tell informed readers that the rest of the world has long been repulsed by this sort of
 American grotesquery, this darkly provincial, arrogant American spectacle. But some of the world still
 has difficulty admitting to what it observes: that Americans, have become belligerent, mean, and
 downright dangerous to world security and stability.

 Subject: Paul Wellstone memory

 I am heartened that someone is remembering this man who stood for truth and honor.
 Why is that so hard to find now?

 I honestly knew nothing about Wellstone before this happened, but when it did and the way it did,
 sent shivers down my spine.  This was no accident, it will never be known since the cowards who
 have done ALL of this have no conscience, no honor.  They are also the ones who have tried to kill
 all our dream and hopes. In his Wellstones memory, in MLK's memory, please lets find a way to pick
 ourselves up, dust off, face ourselves and the lies that keep being shoved down our throats..

 Lets pray for the courage of those who KNOW, who know the facts to bring these truths to light,
 who are afraid for their lives, but realize the world is worth nothing if those who lie/cheat/steal are victorious.
 In MLK's memory please meditate on this beautiful message :
"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional Love will have the final word in reality.
 This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant."

 God Forgive America,

 The Non-Election of 2004
  The campaigns were run by the PR industry

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 As usual, the electoral campaigns were run by the PR industry, which in its regular vocation sells toothpaste,
 life-style drugs, automobiles, and other commodities. Its guiding principle is deceit. Its task is to undermine
 the "free markets" we are taught to revere: mythical entities in which informed consumers make rational choices.
 In such scarcely imaginable systems, businesses would provide information about their products: cheap, easy, simple.
 But it is hardly a secret that they do nothing of the sort. Rather, they seek to delude consumers to choose their product
 over some virtually identical one. GM does not simply make public the characteristics of next year's models. Rather, it
 devotes huge sums to creating images to deceive consumers, featuring sports stars, sexy models, cars climbing sheer
 cliffs to a heavenly future, and so on.  The business world does not spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year to
 provide information. The famed "entrepreneurial initiative" and "free trade" are about as realistic as informed
 consumer choice. The last thing those who dominate the society want is the fanciful market of doctrine and
 economic theory. All of this should be too familiar to merit much discussion.

 Subject: Gratuity attached

 Bartcop,
 Although I don't have money falling out of my ass, I am sending you this $20 donation to support your continued work.
 I have reviewed your archives and have found your work insightful, intelligent, truthful, and rare.

 I am writing this from "the Alabama of Pennsylvania," where there are no Democrats, only DINO and Republicans.
 Unfortunately, we have US Sen. Rick ("that's Latin for 'asshole'") Santorum (google "santorum" to see what Dan Savage
 has to say about him...) and US Sen. Arlen Specter, who used to be a decent man until he was accidentally lobotomized
 when he had a brain tumor removed in Philadelphia a few years ago.

 Since there are no Democrats anymore we are only RINOs, those few of us who still believe, like Goldwater,
 that gov't should stay the hell out of our bedrooms and our boardrooms.    So here's a donation from one war-weary
 Republican who wasn't invited to the Coronation next Thursday.  Since there are so few left who will "speak Truth to Power,"
 the task falls to you.  Koresh grant you peace and prosperity, and keep hammering.

 Marc, thanks.
 I hope you enjoy your 60 days of membership.

 Tsunami conspiracy?

 I just thought I'd ask a question that I haven't heard discussed.
 The United States has a military base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.
 They use it mostly for refueling stops because it's in the middle of nowhere.
 Check it's location at the bottom-center of this map.

 Diego Garcia was 1000 miles closer to the epicenter of the tsunami than Somalia,
 yet hundreds were killed in Somalia and our government says Diego Garcia sustained no damage..

 Bart,

 I'm sorry to say, but there is some hypocrisy going on here.
 In one issue you have banner graphics about Faux News and the FOX Watching The Whitehouse,
 and the next issue you are suggesting we watch crap on FOX.

 The only voice we have is to withhold our cash from the coffers of the corrupt.
 This means, at the VERY least, NO FOX television, NO Home Depot,
 NO Wal-Mart and all the others that contributed greatly to the monkey and the fascists.

 S, I understand what you're saying but...

 You're talking about no NFC football games, no Pizza Hut, no Taco Bell, no Pepsi
 no Bank of America, No AT&T, no NBC, no CBS, no ABC, no 20th Century Fox movies,
 no Direct TV, no Viagra, no FedEx, no AOL, no CNN, no Kraft Foods, no Miami Dolphins,
 no Hallmark cards, no Blue Cross, Blue Shield, no HMOs, no Microsoft, no casinoes*

 DEAR ABBY,

 My husband has a long record of money problems. He runs up huge credit card bills.
 At the end of the month, if I try to pay them off, he shouts at me, saying I am stealing his money.
 He says pay the minimum, and let our kids worry about the rest, but already we can hardly keep up with the interest.

 Also he has been so arrogant and abusive toward our neighbors that most of them no longer speak to us.
 The few that do are an odd bunch, to whom he has been giving a lot of expensive gifts, running up our bills even more.

 Also, he has gotten religious in a big way, although I don't quite understand it.
 One week he hangs out with Catholics and the next with people who say the Pope is the Anti-Christ.
 And now he has been going to the gym an awful lot and is into wearing uniforms and cowboy outfits,
 and I hate to think what that means.

 Finally, the last straw. He's demanding that before anyone can be in the same room with him,
 they must sign a loyalty oath. It's just so horribly creepy!

 Can you help?
 Signed, Lost in DC
 

 DEAR LOST:

 Stop whining, Laura.
 You can divorce the jerk any time you want.
 The rest of us are stuck with that asshole for four more years!

 Death Squads Invite Murder in Our Name
    by Joe Conason

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 ...Pentagon planners are reportedly mulling a "Salvadoran option" - the
 bureaucratic euphemism for death squads - to put down the rebellion in Iraq.

 Evidently this scheme is the latest brainstorm of the "liberators" intent on bringing
 democracy, freedom and the rule of law to the oppressed peoples of the Middle East.
 The brilliant idea of assassinating recalcitrant Iraqis seems to have originated among
 the same Pentagon bureaucrats who crusaded for the Iraq invasion and promoted
 abusive interrogation techniques in the war against terrorism.

 ...since nearly two years of incompetent occupation rule
 has failed to win the hearts and minds of most Iraqis,
 the next step is apparently to persuade them by inflicting pain.

"You Know You're a Republican When...You fire someone for supporting the troops.
  From a North Jersey Record editorial: Rep.Chris Smith, R-N.J., lost his post as chairman
  of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs this week for the worst possible reason:
  He spoke out loudly against cuts in veterans programs at a time when House GOP leaders
  - and President Bush - were touting the party's wartime support for the troops.

 Offering something plus a reference.
 Marijuana lowers blood pressure in experienced users.

 J Clin Pharmacol. 2002 Nov;42(11 Suppl):58S-63S.

    Cardiovascular system effects of marijuana.

    Jones RT.

    Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute, Department of Psychiatry,
 University of California, San Francisco 94143-0984, USA.

    Marijuana and delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) increase heart rate, slightly increase supine blood
 pressure, and on occasion produce marked orthostatic hypotension. Cardiovascular effects in animals are
 different, with bradycardia and hypotension the most typical response. Cardiac output increases, and
 peripheral vascular resistance and maximum exercise performance decrease. ***********Tolerance to most of
 the initial cardiovascular effects appears rapidly. With repeated exposure, !!!!!!!!!supine blood pressure
 decreases slightly!!!!!!!!, orthostatic hypotension disappears, blood volume increases, heart rate slows,
 and circulatory responses to exercise and Valsalva maneuver are diminished, consistent with centrally
 mediated, reduced sympathetic, and enhanced parasympathetic activity. Receptor-mediated and probably
 nonneuronal sites of action account for cannabinoid effects. The endocannabinoid system appears important
 in the modulation of many vascular functions. Marijuana's cardiovascular effects are not associated
 with serious health problems for most young, healthy users, although occasional myocardial infarction,
 stroke, and other adverse cardiovascular events are reported. Marijuana smoking by people with cardiovascular
 disease poses health risks because of the consequences of the resulting  increased cardiac work, increased
 catecholamine levels, carboxyhemoglobin, and postural hypotension.

 A man protesting the war in Iraq with a sign that blended Bush's name
 with a profanity was ticketed for using obscene language in public.

 The protester said Monday he would fight the citation, calling it a violation
 of his constitutional right to free speech.

 Mike Wallschlaeger, 41, of Mosinee, erected the sign near the Courthouse.
 An officer took it down and issued him a citation after receiving a complaint.
 Wallschlaeger said Monday he has used the sign with the message
"This war is Bushit'' during 18 months of protesting in Wausau.

 First Amendment experts had said the city was violating the constitutional rights of the protester
 The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a well-known 1971 case, Cohen v. California, that the
 government does not have the authority to make the simple public display of a four-letter
 expletive a criminal offense. In that case, a man was convicted of wearing a jacket that
 said "Fuck the Draft," but justices threw out his conviction.
 

 Why didn't Wausau City Attorney Bill Nagle have a clue what the law says?
 Why did they green light the arrest if they knew it wasn't a crime?

 Good thing the Demoncrats are moving away from their, ahem, "leaders"
 Kerry was a joke , always was.

 No, he had an unexplained collapse - we're trying to figure out what happened.
 

 He was great for logical minded conservatives who knew he was toast the minute
 he got the Demoncrat nomination. What a wuss, wouldn't even fight back when attacked.

 I wish I could say that was false, BUT, ...when his country needed volunteers for a REAL fight,
 Kerry said "Take me" while Monkey Bush got drunk and deserted his post - suck on that.
 

 But you've heard this all before from the libcomms who actually saw the truth for once.

 non sequitor...
 

 If enough liberals move away from the Demoncrats, the whole left wing will fragment,
 a great day for true Americans and patriots.

 You sound like a gambling man - am I reading you correctly?
 

 Maybe finally the USA will stand tall against the Stalinist libcomms who want to ruin it,
 and promote a democratic philosophy throughout the world based on real Christian principles.
