Welcome to Orwell's 1984 World
by Larry Ross
December 30 , 2004

There are thousands of nuclear weapons at Bush's command, including those of Tony Blair's UK and Sharon's Israel. Bush's new permissive nuclear doctrines, and his enthusiastic neocon administration, have set the stage for nuclear wars. Americans accept that, as easily as Jim Jones loyal followers accepted his leadership (and poisoning) in order to go to a heavenly world. That's the prospect at this time. It is possible, but looks unlikely, that there will be enough sane Americans left with the power to stop Bush before he commits his arsenals to the unthinkable.
If the worst happens, that's the end of our existance. No second chances.

Goodbye to 2004, another year of living stupidly
by Peter Schrag
December 29, 2004

One of the blessings of having been around a long time is that in any dark moment of our national life you can usually think of another moment that, if you put your mind to it, seemed almost as dark or maybe darker: McCarthyism, Watergate, the disaster of Vietnam.
But never in the memory of the living generation have the errors, falsifications and unreason of policy come in such rapid and overwhelming succession that each buries its predecessor before it's even partially absorbed, much less understood.

       
         
 

Fallujah Bombed by US to Rubble

by Larry Ross
December 29, 2004

Under the slogan of "bringing liberation, Democracy and freedom to grateful Iraqis" the US is laying waste to the country. 60-70% of Fallujah destroyed by bombing is an example of how the US is making war on the people while purporting to be making war on terrorism. They are likely to use the same "bombing to rubble" tactic on other Iraq cities.

A Devil's Island for Our Times
by Robert Scheer
December 28 , 2004

It is time to invade Cuba and put an end to what has become another Devil's Island in the annals of government-sanctioned torture. The barbaric treatment of political prisoners on the island is made no more palatable by being conducted in the name of an ideology that claims to be liberating the world from its shackles.
...."Now there is no question that these guys have been tortured," said Brent Mickum, a Washington attorney for one of the roughly 10 percent of detainees at the camp who have finally secured legal representation. "Every allegation that I've heard has now come to pass and been confirmed by the government's own papers."
Even more troubling is that the FBI agents make it clear this is not the work of a few poorly supervised sadists. Their reports refer to what they described as a new--and very much secret--executive order on prisoner treatment by the President at the top of the camp's chain of command, which allowed for severe interrogation tactics, including "sleep deprivation and stress positions" combined with "loud music, interrogators yelling at subjects and prisoners with hoods on their heads."

       
         
 
It's Time To Support The Troops

George W. Bush, their commander-in-chief, calls them "the troops." He says they're on a "noble 'n vital" mission in Iraq. When asked about them, Bush says his "thoughts 'n prayers" go out to them. When shrapnel shreds their limbs or they are blown to bits by bombs, he says he "grieves 'n mourns" for them. Because of the troops, Bush says "America and the world are a safer place (sic)."

The Enemies Among Us
by Mike Whitney
December 20 , 2004

The new Intelligence reform bill is a more stunning attack on the Bill of Rights than the Patriot Act. Most people have no idea how dramatically their "inalienable" rights have been savaged, or to what extent the Congress has sold them out. It's no exaggeration to say that the foundation of personal liberty, guaranteed in the law, is cracking at the base. It'll be a miracle if we can put it back together in time to pass it on to our children.
As usual, the role of the media has been pivotal in obfuscating the details of the bill. They've fed the hysteria over the establishment of a NID; (National Intelligence Director) a glamour position that has been represented as vital to stopping another 9-11. What rubbish. Teaching Condi Rice how to read a simple e-mail from bin Laden would be twice as effective.

       
         
 
Kill Missile Defense Now
by Ivan Eland
December 21, 2004

The most recent among many testing glitches of the Bush administration missile defense program should remind us that this exorbitant and heavily politicized effort should be scrapped. Until September 11, in the eyes of conservatives, the litmus test for patriotism was support for missile defense. Now they have moved on to view backing for the troubled Iraq War as the badge of armchair courage. Yet the 9/11 attacks demonstrated that the missile defense program did not address the most severe threats facing the United States.
The most serious threats to the U.S. homeland won’t arrive by missile. They’ll likely be attacks using either conventional means—as on 9/11—or nuclear, biological or chemical weapons smuggled into the country by ship or delivered by small aircraft. Terrorists are unlikely to have the technology to develop the long-range missiles that a missile defense system is designed to intercept using other missiles or lasers.

Walk Opposes New Nuclear Weapons, Proliferation and War Preparations

by Larry Ross
December 19, 2004

These articles, give you a quick summary of the nuclear dangers from new weapons, proliferation, a new nuclear arms race, and more likely usage. It is urgent that people support this walk and associated peace actions as there would be no second chances after a nuclear war. All other important concerns and causes would count for nothing if humanity allows a nuclear war to happen. As we all are potential victims, we all have good reasons to learn more about this threat and do something about it. The preparations for a nuclear war continue and the new Bush pre-emptive war and nuclear doctrines make such a war far more likely.
Denial, unconcern and ignorance about the nuclear threat will not make it go away.

WASHINGTON - Just when it appeared that Syria was complying in earnest with US demands to secure its border with Iraq, and even making unprecedented peace overtures to Israel, key neo-conservative opinion shapers are calling on President George W Bush to take stronger measures against Damascus, possibly including military action.
The media campaign was launched last week when three analysts associated with the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, a neo-conservative group that generally backs positions of Israel's right-wing Likud Party, published an article in the Washington Times titled "Syria's murderous role: Assad aides [sic] Iraq's terrorist insurgency".

       
         
 
Seymour Melman, 86, Dies; Spurred Antiwar Movement
by JENNIFER BAYOT
December 18, 2004

...In his 1974 book, "The Permanent War Economy," he composed a long list of military trade-offs. The money spent on one Huey helicopter, he said, could buy 66 low-priced homes, while a recent $69 million reduction in child-nutrition programs represented the cost of two DE-1052 destroyer escorts. He added, "To eliminate hunger in America = $4-5 billion = C-5A aircraft program."
Ralph Nader on Seymour Melman:-
Before he passed away this month, Seymour Melman had completed a concise book manuscript titled, "Wars, Ltd.: The Rise and Fall of America's Permanent War Economy". He was having trouble finding a good publisher, when I spoke with him earlier this summer.
But he will leave a legacy of wisdom, insight, humanity, consistency, and diligence. In a society whose rulers and corporatists seal the people off from such magnificent minds and inundate them with trivia, distraction and the hot air artists daily bellowing their lucrative ignorance, sagacious Americans like Seymour Melman will not receive the attention the citizenry deserves unless we the people, who own the public airwaves, begin to control and use our own media rights

The Intellectually Damaged Society

by Larry Ross
December 15, 2004

Stasi establishes and documents the religious deterioration and subjugation of the American psyche. America is in the hands of a band of dedicated criminal religious nutters. They are daily becoming more powerful and entrenched. They use queer religious doctrines to justify any act, any risk or any crime. It's all done for the lord you see, for his greater glory and to fulfil his heavenly promise. Everything and anything can be justified and excused.
So killing 100,000 innocent Iraqis, imprisoning and torturing thousands more, and destroying their country for no legitimate reason are not crimes. It's heavenly ordained and guided by our ever-loving god. We are God's chosen people. He inspires us to do what we do.

Religious Exploitation, and the New American Creed
Blind faith is not a plan for any society’s future survival; neither is it cognition worthy of the fully developed human mind. Blind faith is just a pretty mask that hides the ugly face of ignorance. Today, America wears that mask, and it does not represent the moral or ethical or religious “values” of its most rational citizens. Neither is it fooling anyone but other Americans.

Is Bush the Antichrist?

by Tim Appelo
December 8 - 14, 2004
The Christian right and the Christian left are engaged in a debate over who 'owns' Jesus - and whether Dubya is a force for good or class.   When President George W. Bush was appointed by five Supreme Court justices in 2000, right-wing Christians sang hosannas for the triumph of God's will over the electorate's. "President Bush is God's man at this hour," said Tim Goeglein, Bush's liaison to evangelicals. Though the Methodist president dishonestly conceals the whole truth about his apocalyptic religious beliefs, he has acted as an evangelist in office. As Esther Kaplan demonstrates in With God on Their Side: How Christian Fundamentalists Trampled Science, Policy, and Democracy in George W. Bush's White House, he's doled out millions to far-right Christian groups, systematically crushed secular left and nonright mainstream organizations from Head Start to the Audubon Society, and replaced policy and scientific experts with comically ignorant yet politically cunning fanatic provocateurs.

Stolen Election 2004
by Carol Sterritt
December, 2004

On November 2, 2004, for the second time in 48 months, George W. Bush and his minions illegally altered the Presidential election results by enough of a count that he will again illegally occupy the White House for another four years.
How did this happen? Due to the new machinery purchased under the "Help America Vote Act," at least 29% of the American electorate had their vote counted on equipment that is tamper-friendly and that leaves no auditable paper trail. According to some observers, that statistic is shy of the actual reality-they say sixty to sixty-one million votes were counted on such machinery. This would mean that more than HALF the vote was counted by defective machinery.

       
         
 
Election Fraud Ignored By Kerry
by Stephen Simac
December, 2004

A great wailing and gnashing of teeth was heard from half the country, while jubilant cheers rose from the other half. At least from the 60% of American citizens who actually voted in the Word Series of Politics.
Forty percent chose not to take part in choosing the Commander in Chief of the mightiest military force the world has ever known. Not to take part in choosing the Leader of the Free World. Not to take part in choosing the President of the Untied States. Those were the truly undecided ones and no exit poll was done for them.

       
         
 
Afraid To Look in the Moral Abyss
by James Carroll
December 7 , 2004

WHY DON'T we Americans look directly at the war? We avert our gaze, knowing that the situation in Iraq grows more desperate by the day. Vaunted "coalition" efforts to "break the back" of the "insurgency" have only strengthened it. The violence among Iraqis would surely qualify as civil war -- except that only one side is fighting. The structures of relief and repair are gone. Whole cities are destroyed, populations displaced. The hope of Iraqi elections is mortally compromised. "Coalition" members are dropping out. The mission of American force is to secure the country, but it can't secure itself. The performance of US intelligence has been consistent: Its strategic failures caused the war, and its tactical ignorance of the enemy is losing the war.

Ex-CIA Man Now Interim Prime Minister
Comment by Larry Ross
December 7, 2004

The US selected Iyad Allawi, who served the interests of the USA for many years as a clandestine CIA agent staging explosions in Iraq, as their interim Prime Minister of Iraq.
The US empowered Allawi, who assassinated suspected "terrorists" in police custody, to rule Iraq and "authorise" the US destruction of Fallujah. Thus he is directly involved in the killing of thousands of his fellow countrymen, both ordinary men, women and children, and anyone thought to be resisting the US invader. Basically Allawi is the US mouthpiece, trying to give legitimacy to war crimes and the criminal US invasion, occupation and continuing murder of opponents. This man can in no way represent the Iraqi people.

 
Ex-C.I.A. Aides Say Iraq Leader Helped Agency in 90's Attacks
by Joel Brinkley
June 8, 2004

Iyad Allawi, now the designated prime minister of Iraq, ran an exile organization intent on deposing Saddam Hussein that sent agents into Baghdad in the early 1990's to plant bombs and sabotage government facilities under the direction of the C.I.A., several former intelligence officials say.
Dr. Allawi's group, the Iraqi National Accord, used car bombs and other explosive devices... Ex-CIA officer Robert Baer, recalled that a bombing during that period "blew up a school bus; schoolchildren were killed."

Why Kerry Lost
Comment by Larry Ross
December 5, 2004

This is a brilliant analysis of why Kerry lost the US 2004 Presidential election by Evan Peterson, so long as the reader accepts the conventional explanations - that it was a fair election without fraud. Peterson gives many reasons for Kerry's loss, and lower than expected vote, and raises many questions about the Peters campaign and motivations. He does not raise the question of fraud in his article because he wants the reader to consider the deficiencies in the candidate and his organisation, rather than excuse them because of Bush's alleged fraud.

There Has Been A Fascist Coup in This Country With Media Complicity

by Seth Farber,
December 4, 2004

Noam Chomsky has lucidly explicated the imperial consensus adhered to by both parties since the US became No I after WW11. However he has also pointed out that the Bush National Security Strategy scared even the mainstream foreign policy elite. It bodes an escalation of the international arms race and all kinds of unprecedented threats to our survival.
I see major differences between what the Kerry Administration would have done and what the Bush agenda is. However considering the fecklessness of Kerry and the Democrats they of course are morally complicit in a fascist coup.
I say a fascist coup-one must realize that the neo-cons wielding the power in the Bush Administration had been out of power since Reagan. One must also remember that all indications are that neither the military nor the CIA wanted the war in Iraq. The Joint Chiefs of Staff had testified before Congress in the summer of 2002 that war on Iraq would be a bad idea. So did Scowcroft, Eagleburger, etc. The CIA reported at that time--front page of NY Times--that Saddam was contained. The Bush Junta prevailed because of its fanaticism and determination--just as Hitler did. (Clinton endorsed "regime change"--he was far too cautious to go ahead with this crazy war.)

       
         
 
Mass Distruction of Fallujah

Then Bush again fools the US people by telling them that this proves the people are really terrorists and the US duty is to make war on them - any kind of foul war he chooses and forget international law.

November 9th, 2004 was Fallujah's 9/11 Tuesday. It marked the peak of three days of indiscriminate bombing of Fallujah by US forces.
Iraqi Defense Minister Hazem Al-Shaalan promised that the day would be decisive. It wasn't. It was inhumane beyond belief, almost beyond comprehension.
The bomb blitz featured weapons of mass destruction: banned napalm-type munitions, chemical poison gas and super-bombs of up to 2,000-pounds. The ground assault was indiscriminate. The target was a city where at least 60,000 civilians outnumbered rebel fighters by over thirty to one.

Known as the "city of mosques" for its more than 200 mosques, Fallujah is also known for refusing to add Saddam’s name to the call for prayers from its ancient minarets. It is located on the banks of river Euphrates, the largest river in Southwest Asia. The 1700 miles long Euphrates is linked with some of the most important events in olden history.
The city of Ur, found at its mouth, was the birthplace of Abraham. On its banks stood the city of Babylon. In the past, the army of Necho was defeated on its banks by Nebuchadnezzar. Cyrus the Younger and Crassus perished after crossing it. Alexander traversed it and continued his journey eastward. Presently, George Bush’s forces are crossing and re-crossing it making its waters redder each time with the blood of Fallujah’s citizens.

       
         
 
Neocons Squabble Very Relevant to US Policy

This chink in the neocon armour, is of fundamental importance and well worth a read. The neocons have been singularly successful in foisting a litany of lies about Iraq WMD, links to al-Qaeda, links to 9/11 attacks, links to terrorism and future attacks. They continue their buoyant attitudes as their killing, bombing and general mass destruction increases. Now they are claiming that the American people have given them, and their spokesman Bush, a mandate to continue, and impose the rest of their agenda on the world.

Canadian Lawyers Seek Ban On Bush Visit Due to War Crimes
Comment by Larry Ross          November 22, 2004

This superlatively excellent Canadian lawyers call for a ban on Bush visits, and Bush's indictment for war crimes, deserves to be put on the agenda of every peace group everywhere.
They could do a peace action and send it to all their politicians, perhaps more than once, and lobby them as well.
Repeated emphasis is effective, as Bush continually demonstrates.
It could be applied in every country, widely publicised, and forwarded to others.
Surely this kind of effective action is better than letting Bush continue to create his new “truths” and self-serving pre-emptive nuclear war doctrines. Most people and most mass media remain silent while Bush and his neo-cons build their “1984 perpetual wars” type of world over the next 4 years, maybe longer. The Canadian lawyer's letter can be used to express a peace action which communicates that Bush and accomplices are increasingly perceived as war criminals.

Dear Mr. Martin:
It was with absolute dismay that we learned of the planned visit of President Bush to Canada on November 30th 2004.   Surely you are aware of the many grave crimes against humanity and war crimes for which President Bush stands properly accused by the world, starting with the Nuremberg Tribunal´s ‘supreme international crime´ of waging an aggressive war against Iraq in defiance of international law and the Charter of the United Nations, and including systematic and massive violations of the Geneva Conventions Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War and Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, as well as the United Nations Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.

 
AN OPEN LETTER TO PM PAUL MARTIN    Please sign
Petition from peaceinspace.org/   November 20, 2004

Dear Mr. Martin:
Canada is at a crossroads – and under heavy pressure from the United States – with respect to the U.S.’s “missile defence” program. This program should be seen clearly – and assertively and publicly acknowledged by Canada – for what it is, nothing less than a pre-emptive action by the United States to dictate how space is to be used and controlled to benefit and advance American interests.
As the Iraq war and its aftermath have borne out, pre-emptive action by one player in the arena of international affairs is not only immoral, it has wholly unpredictable and tragic consequences.              URGENT

We also do not believe any Muslims did this. There is an dictum in the Qur'an which forbids the killing of women; also, the killing of hostages. Also, Muslims and Iraqis had nothing to gain by killing this innocent, God-like, saint of a woman.

What took place was the use of technological material to destroy a defenseless country. From 125,000 to 300,000 people were killed... We recognize our role in history is to bring the transgressors to justice." Ramsey Clark

       
         
   
"Will They Ever Trust Us Again? Letters from the War Zone"
by Michael Moore  
Posted - November 18, 2004

Why are the thousands of disgruntled GIs, their families and Veterans who question Bush's wisdom and veracity in e-mails and letters sent to Michael Moore rarely, if at all, represented in the mainstream media?
That is because the White House pretty much controls what comes through the mainstream media pipeline, particularly on television. Television news portrays the Karl Rove image of Bush surrounded by adoring, supportive troops in carefully choreographed photo-ops. The most notorious of these was the presidential crotch-stuffing appearance of Bush during his "Mission Accomplished" aircraft carrier stunt.       Buzzflash

       
         
 
Integrity of Voting System Paramount
by Dave Zweifel  
November 17, 2004

Judging from the proliferation of articles on the Internet and elsewhere - some of them scholarly, some not - over whether there was something funny in the counting of ballots Nov. 2, an investigation needs to be launched if only to assure Americans that our election process isn't crooked.
The latest paper to cast doubt on the ballot count has been written by Dr. Steven F. Freeman, a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania, who explored the strange discrepancy that occurred this year between exit polls and the actual count in the so-called battleground states.

       
         
  Analysis, U.S. Election
by Larry Ross
November 17, 2004

Evan Peters election analysis makes many excellent points. But it does not cover election fraud which many articles in this website indicate did happen. I think election fraud colours the whole picture. It means Bush and the Republicans committed major crimes in order to steal the US Presidency - again. It also means that most people in the rest of the world have misjudged the American people, a majority of whom did not vote for Bush. They were not been fooled by Bush and the US media. Kerry did win and I think the rest of the world should recognise that and do what we can to help Americans reclaim their country. Read some of these articles and tell me if you think I'm wrong.

Humorous & Serious, Yield Better Insights Than US Media's Simplistic "Red vs. Blue State" Analysis.........
.........The Bottom Line: If the American people really want to stop "talking the talk" and actually "walk the walk" of authentic family values, we'd better turn our states Democratic blue; if American voters really want to live like Republican "haves" and "have-mores," we'd better vote for Democratic Congresspersons in 2006; and if Democrats really want to recapture the White House, we'd better stop letting "he who has the gold make the rules" by jettisoning the plutocratic DLC now, and then nominate a genuine progressive who is telegenic, likable, and principled, in 2008.

Bush did not win the election -- HE STOLE IT--
Hello John Kerry supporters!
  You have worked  tirelessly for over a year to elect John Kerry and other Democratic candidates. 
You've donated money, phone banked, registered voters, wrote letters to the editor, put up lawn signs, knocked on doors and monitored polls. You were there when they needed you.  They still need you, perhaps now more than ever.
  But more, your Democracy needs you.

       
         
  Comment  on The Power of Nightmares
by Larry Ross
November 15, 2004

The worst nightmare scenario has come true. The neo-conservatives claim they have just had a mandate to continue creating a new American version of reality. Kerry won the US Presidential election, but like Gore in 2000, was cheated out of his victory by the machinations of the neo-conservatives and their Republican allies and others in the voting machine industry.

  Masssive New US Base in Henoko Bay, Nago City, Okinawa a Link In Global Domination Plan
Comment
by Larry Ross
November 15, 2004

The cold war is over, but the much heralded "peace dividend" failed to materialise. The US has over 700 overseas military bases. The number is expanding as it's plans for global domination continue to be implemented. Henoko Bay is one more step.
In place of the communist enemy, the US is using the "terrorist" threat, and making more terrorists every day as it devastates Iraq. The so-called "terrorist threat" and 9/11 attack conspiracy did not exist in Iraq. The real Washington conspirators knew this before they created a litany of lies to justify launching their phoney genocidal war against the non-existent threat from Iraq.

  Stop the construction of yet another US military base
from Kelly Dietz
November 14, 2004

-- A number of Okinawan, Japanese and American groups have filed a lawsuit - Dugong v. Rumsfeld - in San Francisco's Federal District Court against the U.S. Department of Defense in order to stop the construction of the new base. For more information on the lawsuit and the environmental issues at stake in the construction of the air base, see: http://actionnetwork.org/campaign/dugong_aa
. . . .Those at the encampment vow to continue their struggle until they halt the base construction. Local women in their 80s say they will give their lives to stop the project.

       
         
  Reasons Why Bush Win Will Lead to Catastrophe       Comment
by Larry Ross
November 13, 2004
This article by Michael Fiengold is the best I have yet seen on analysis of the US Presidential election. Why it happened, what is anticipated next, where the US is going, and the resulting expected catastrophes are covered brilliantly.
However the article does not question possible 2004 election fraud, as happened in 2,000.
I expect The Village Voice may explore "2004 Election Fraud" in future articles.

Our Vanished Values - Where they went, and why—and how they might come back
he election's over. The Dow's up 300 points. Obviously somebody's happy. Just as obviously, it isn't me.
I turn 60 next May, and am contemplating another four years of this administration's policies with increasing gloom and trepidation. What I see ahead is a further ballooning of the already insane federal deficit, a deeper descent into the hideous and bloody quagmire of Iraq, an accelerated decaying of environmental conditions, an increase in the voracious looting being carried on by the corporate leaders who pull the strings of the dim-witted, corrupt, smug puppet about to reoccupy the White House, and a steeper decline in civility, tolerance, individuality, and the shared common pleasures that once made life in America worth living.

       
         
  Environmental Crises Threaten Humanity
by Larry Ross
November 13, 2004

George Monbiot, in speech to environmental journalists, gave a superlatively good analysis of media suppression of the truth and distortion of the material they do present. It explains why Bush did so well. Monbiot also illuminated the environmental crises and how they increasingly threaten life on earth, and why the media give it such limited or distorted coverage.

  Speech to the Enviromedia conference, Johannesburg, South Africa

October 5, 2004

......... So let us picture a journalist who is interested in the environment, and who works for a newspaper run by a rich man with rich friends. Let's say she wants to write about climate change, and that she knows that much of it results from the carbon dioxide emissions produced by coal-fired power stations. Straight away she runs into a problem: the power stations are owned and run by members of the rich men's trade union. She has several options.......

       
         
  Winning "Hearts & Minds" in New Zealand
by Larry Ross
November 12, 2004

Some NZ newspapers, owned by overseas media moguls, are subtly pushing the Bush/Neocon political and war agenda. They write editorials and select articles which favour the US Iraq war and justifications for war. They severely limit, or do not publish letters and articles with facts which expose a biased editorial, or the truth about biased coverage of a situation involving the US. At the same time they like to present themselves as a "free press printing the truth and all the news that's fit to print". That's good business as people don't like to think that they are buying, reading and believing a load of lies.

       
         
  Did Bush Steal the 2000 and 2004 Elections?  
Comment by Larry Ross
November 11, 2004

The evidence that he did is very compelling. If you read the following article email me what you think.
He has already created a mountain of evidence that his Iraq war is a pre-planned fraud.
That makes him a . So far the mass media is hiding this. If he stole the election because Kerry was winning, there is a danger to him of exposure. He could be impeached and be tried.
We will soon see if the mass media decide to abandon their Bush/cheerleader role and tell the truth.
In my previous writings and in many articles received from the US, I wrote that one of the methods Bush might use to stay in power is programming the new voting machines to show he won.

  "Something BIG is about to happen."
from Allen Reed
November 11, 2004

When actress Susan Sarandon appeared on the Bill Maher show over the weekend, he asked her what is the biggest issue we face as a nation.   Her reply was "voter fraud."
The usually knowledgeable Maher had no idea what she was talking about. When he asked, she replied:
"Something BIG is about to happen."
What I'm about to tell you is going to be hard to swallow at first. But if you're like most of us, once you start looking at the evidence, you'll scrape yourself off the ceiling, put your eyeballs back in their sockets, and you'll try to figure out what to do.
So here it is.

       
         
  INSIDE THE ELECTION FRAUD BATTLE

We shall see if Kerry and Nader have a case. The sooner the better. The so-called Electoral College votes Dec 13, 2004. What a headline this would be........ Supreme Court again invalides the recount of votes in................(choose your state). Then Bush would have to declare Martial Law, and all hell would break loose.
Think Kerry Is Not Involved In This Fight? Think Again. Also: Fallujah = Operation Distract From Fixed Election.
