http://www.g0lem.net/PhpWiki/index.php/HomePage Winning the War on Terrorism - we must understand that terrorism is a strategy, a tactic, used by states and non-state groups alike to advance political goals and objectives. Declaring a war on terrorism is as if President Franklin Roosevelt had declared a war on blitzkrieg. A successful strategy must address the political roots of terrorism http://www.g0lem.net/PhpWiki/index.php/HomePage International observers for U.S. elections - Seven American activist groups asked the United Nations on Monday to provide international observers for next month's presidential election....A petition delivered to the U.N. Economic and Social Council said that only the U.N. can ``give us recourse to international bodies beyond those within our own national and state governments'' in case of a repeat of the problems seen in the 2000 election, which President Bush won after a protracted ballot fight in Florida. - 7 U.S. Groups Ask U.N. for Vote Observers http://www.g0lem.net/PhpWiki/index.php/HomePage George Bush's Scam Presidency - American corporations decidedly do not have American interests at heart at all, and yet you and I and our fellow citizens before us have paid dearly for this for a century. - Where the "Great Game" in Afghanistan was once about czars and commissars seeking access to the warm water ports of the Persian Gulf, today it is about laying oil and gas pipelines via the untapped petroleum reserves of Central Asia, a region previously dominated by the former Soviet Union, with strong influence from Iran and Pakistan. Studies have placed the total worth of oil and gas reserves in the Central Asian republics at between $3 and $6 trillion. The Enron-Cheney-Taliban Connection? - (October 13, 2004) * Corporate takeover of America http://www.g0lem.net/PhpWiki/index.php/CorpBeforePeople "You saw the same intelligence I did before the war ..."The president twice used that line...That is absurd, and it was foolish for Kerry to let it go. I have been around the White House under six presidents and have written, quite extensively, about their decision-making. I know, and so does Bush, that no one, no one at all, sees what a president sees. That is what the classification "Eyes Only" means. We now know that Bush was a wannabe war president who was holding back a great deal of pre-war intelligence for his own purpose -- and his purpose was to go to war. George Bush never met a lie he didn't like.. http://www.g0lem.net/PhpWiki/ On 7 October 2004, US authorities issued a federal order to Rackspace ordering them to hand over alternative/independent media, Indymedia web servers to the requesting agency. Rackspace, which provides hosting services for more that 20 Indymedia sites at its London facility, complied and turned over it's servers. Largely unreported in the U.S. media, there have been recent crackdowns on independent media in the U.S. and using the long arm of U.S. enforcement in Europian countries. - (Indymedia is a collective of independent media organizations and hundreds of journalists offering grassroots, non-corporate coverage. Indymedia is a democratic media outlet for the creation of radical, accurate, and passionate tellings of truth.) - Crackdown on Independent Media.. They got the servers back, but still no reasons have been given, because since 9/11 you and they don't have any rights. How many ion congress read the Patriot Act before they signed it. NONE OF THEM.... http://www.g0lem.net/PhpWiki/ The U.S. Occupation is Morally Indefensible - A few days ago, some 40 children were blown to pieces while they were gathering candy from American soldiers at the opening of a sewage treatment plant. (Side note: That's how bad things have gotten - we have to celebrate the reconstruction of our sewage treatment plants). I don't know who to be more angry with - the idiots and PR people who thought it would be a good idea to have children running around during a celebration involving troops or the parents for letting their children attend. I the people who arranged the explosions burn within the far-reaches of hell. . . . End the Occupation Now! http://www.g0lem.net/PhpWiki The propaganda is, since we broke it, we own it. We don't own Iraq, the Iraqis own Iraq. We do owe them. We did break it and we need to support those who want to rebuild what we broke. For that, we have a debt, but the obligation isn't to break it more or get in the middle of an impossible situation. Vietnam was a civil war and even the CIA said to this administration that the probable outcome in Iraq is a civil war. A civil war cannot be prevented by force. Nothing we do will change that. It has been tried before. In Vietnam we lost 58,000 Americans and the Vietnamese lost 3,000,000 and it didn't change a thing. We still lost....John Kerry did good enough in the debate. He didn't challenge Bush on all of Bush's misstatements and there were so many of them but that was because of the format. It seemed that the moderator gave Bush more opportunities to answer Kerry than he gave Kerry to answer Bush, but John Kerry won the debate anyway - because truth was on his side...Bush and the Republicans and all the rest of us are in parallel universes. * In separate dimensions and separate realities http://www.g0lem.net/PhpWiki/index.php/LegitimateGovernment Inability to Perform - personal knowledge about why George W. Bush prematurely left his Texas National Guard unit in 1972--because nerves, fear and a possible drinking problem were affecting his ability to pilot his F-102A plane. If true, this information further confirms a growing body of evidence that Bush has not been candid about his departure from his unit. George Bush couldn't get it up: the plane, that is http://g0lem.net/PhpWiki/ ----- / o o \ ===OO=====OO============================================= (4)Portals (2)News Wikis (2)Conferences - No More BuSHIT!
