Controversial and prolific author, political commentator and essayist Gore Vidal is assured that the military's growing revulsion at the Bush junta's policies would ensure they would try and prevent any false flag staged terror attack, while slamming the end of Habeas Corpus and the administration's coup de 'tat of America on a nationally syndicated radio broadcast.
Speaking with the Alex Jones Show, Vidal decried the end of the foundational bedrock of "due process of law," and expressed his astonishment at the recent loss of Habeas Corpus with the passage of the Military Read more

Kellogg Brown & Root, a Halliburton subsidiary, is constructing a huge facility at an undisclosed location to hold tens of thousands of Bush's "unlawful enemy combatants." Americans are certain to be among them.
The Military Commissions Act of 2006 governing the treatment of detainees is the culmination of relentless fear-mongering by the Bush administration since the September 11 terrorist attacks.
Because the bill was adopted with lightning speed, barely anyone noticed that it empowers Bush to declare not just aliens, but also U.S. citizens, "unlawful enemy Read more

If you haven't been watching the
political arena lately, you may not have noticed that the U.S. Congress
last week handed President Bush a bill that, if signed, would spell the
end of America as we know it.
Called the Military Commissions Act of
2006, the bill abandons the Geneva Convention (formed after Hitler's
atrocities in WWII), legalizes the torture of U.S. citizens, suspends
all civil rights for prisoners and allows the President to declare
virtually anyone to be an "enemy combatant" -- artists, writers,
scientists, protestors or anyone who does not agree with the pro-

The Senate has agreed to give President Bush extraordinary power to detain and try prisoners in the so-called war on terror. The legislation strips detainees of the right to challenge their own detention and gives the President the power to detain them indefinitely. The bill also immunizes U.S. officials from prosecution for torturing detainees who the military and the CIA captured before the end of last year. We get reaction from Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Michael Ratner of the Center for Constitutional Rights.

Web Note: Can't anything uttered by a Republican be truthful. In all of our history there has never been such an assemblage of liars in our government, and they lie with virtually no opposition from their so-called opposition, the weasel-mouthed Democrats, aiding and abetting them in every foul move they make. One thing is certain: we will never stop the liars without replacing each and every one of them with men and women sworn to uphold the rights and interests of citizens as opposed to corporations who will be jailed should they fail in that mission.

The White House is currently pushing for a new law to allow torture
of
detainees in the "war on terror" -- a law that would violate the
Geneva Conventions and contradict our United States Constitution.
The proposed law would allow evidence to be withheld from defendants
in terrorism trials, and severely restrict the fundamental right of
habeas corpus. It would apply retroactively to 2001 -- thus protecting
Administration officals for illegal acts they may have committed. Most
notably, it would allow the use of coerced testimony in Read more

The stately Russell Senate Office Building stands at one corner of a domestic Green Zone, just northeast of the Capitol building at the intersection of Delaware and Constitution avenues. In the past few years a maze of blockades has sprouted along the shaded avenues and curving drives of the Capitol complex. Checkpoints are patrolled by heavily armed police; guards watch for suspicious characters and prohibited items (which now include food and beverages; cans, bottles, and sprays; and bags larger than 13 by 14 inches). At the Russell Building, visitors encounter another set of barriers and Read more

Is the U.S. becoming a police state? Here are the top 10 signs that it may well be the case.
1. The Internet Clampdown
One saving grace of alternative media in this age of unfettered corporate conglomeration has been the internet. While the masses are spoon-fed predigested news on TV and in mainstream print publications, the truth-seeking individual still has access to a broad array of investigative reporting and political opinion via the world-wide web. Of course, it was only a matter of time before the government moved to patch up this crack in the sky.

The federal government has been champing at the bit to put Rod Coronado back in prison since the moment he got out in 1999, refusing to repent for his role in a 1992 arson at a Michigan State University fur research lab.
Federal officials have publicly branded Coronado a leader of the Animal Liberation Front, even though the ALF is apparently non-hierarchical. He is, however, an unabashed advocate of property destruction in defense of animals, and his indictment in San Diego in February, for giving a speech in which he explained how the incendiary devices used in the Michigan arson
