Cindy Sheehan Takes On the Robber Class
Bob Fitrakis, The Free Press: "The United States has produced several mythic historical figures - Paul Bunyan, John Henry and the like - but our actual prophetic peace activists are actually far more interesting. People like Eugene Victor Debs, Emma Goldman, and in our present day, Cindy Sheehan." (more)

In the wake of the Honduras coup, speculation about whether or not the US was masterminding the plot is running wild... And in Latin America the bitter riddle still rings true: Why are there no coups in Washington, DC? Because it doesn't have a US embassy! Full Story

We need to propose this in 2009:
START A BILL TO PLACE ALL POLITICIANS ON SOCIAL SECURITY
----------------------------------
SOCIAL SECURITY:
(This is worth reading. It is short and to the point.)
Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years.
Our Senators and Congresswomen do not pay into Social Security and, of course, they
do not collect from it...
You see, Social Security benefits were not suitable for persons of their rare elevation in society..
They felt they should have a special plan for themselves. So, many years ago they voted in their own
benefit plan.
In more recent years, no congressperson has felt the need to change it. After all, it is a
great plan.....
For all practical purposes their plan works like this:
When they retire, they continue to draw the same pay until they die. Except it may increase
from time to time for cost of living adjustments...
For example, Senator Byrd and Congressman White and their wives may expect to draw
$7, 800,000.00 (that's Seven Million, Eight-Hundred Thousand Dollars), with their wives drawing
$275, 000.00 during the last years of their lives.
This is calculated on an average life span for each of those two Dignitaries.
Younger dignitaries, who retire at an early age, will receive much more during the rest of their lives.
Their cost for this excellent plan is $0.00. NADA..! ZILCH...
This little perk they voted for themselves is free to them. You and I pick up the tab for this plan.
The funds for this fine retirement plan come directly from the General Funds;
"OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK "!
From our own Social Security Plan, which you and I pay (or have paid) into, every payday
until we retire (which amount is matched by our employer). We can expect to get an average of
$1,000 per month
After retirement.
Or, in other words, we would have to collect our average of $1,000 monthly benefits
for 68 years and one (1) month to equal Senator Bill Brad ley's benefits!
Social Security could be very good if only one small change were made.
That change would be to:
Jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under the Senators and Congressmen...
Put them into the Social Security plan with the rest of us!
Then sit back....
And see how fast they would fix it.
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe
good changes will evolve.
How many people CAN you send this to?
Better yet......
How many people WILL you send this to?

Manifest Destiny
In 1845, an American columnist, John O'Sullivan, writing about the proposed annexation of Texas, claimed that it was America's "manifest destiny to overspread the continent." Later in the same year, referring to the ongoing dispute with Great Britain over Oregon, he wrote that the United States had the right to claim "the whole of Oregon." More
US Uses False Taliban Aid Charge to Pressure Iran
Gareth Porter, Inter Press Service: "The Barack Obama administration has given new prominence to a Bush administration charge that Iran is providing military training and assistance to the Taliban in Afghanistan, for which no evidence has ever been produced, and which has been discredited by data obtained by IPS from the Pentagon itself. The new twist in the charge is that it is being made in the context of serious talks between NATO officials and Iran involving possible Iranian cooperation in NATO's logistical support for the war against the insurgents in Afghanistan."
