This Local has nothing to do with any alleged management directives to report the location of the Minutemen volunteers to the Mexican government. Our position on the Mexican government and their military is very clear. They are corrupt, they shoot at us, they smuggle drugs, they encourage illegal aliens to invade this country...

<p>The game has not changed, we face the same enemy, same challenges. The Beast never dies!</p> <p>President Reagan faced down the Soviets and ended the cold war, but the Beast is still with us. It simply changes form. Whether it appears in the form of Bolshevism, Nazism, fascism, communism, Islamofascism, etc, it is the same enemy: Totalitarianism. The all powerful state.</p>

Don't Feed the Beast End This Tax Cut Myth George W. Bush is not the sort of president who reads journals such as the Atlantic Monthly. But at least someone at the White House should check out the piece in the new issue by Jonathan Rauch. For honest believers in tax cuts, it's devastating. It's been a long time since honest believers argued that tax cuts pay for themselves. When you have extremely high rates of taxation -- say, 70 percent-plus -- there may be something to this claim: When rates are that high, the rich go to extraordinary lengths...

PARIS, March 24 (Reuters) - Police in Belarus have arrested 22 reporters since the beginning of this week, an international media watchdog said on Friday in what it called an unprecedented crackdown on journalistic freedom. "These arrests are intended to gag dissent and to sow a climate of terror in the country. The independent journalists should be immediately released," the Paris-based Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said in a statement. RSF said 13 of the journalists were still in prison, mostly serving sentences of several days "for alleged 'hooliganism', 'taking part in an unauthorised gathering' or for 'offering obscenities'". It said...

about the media uproar over the 18-hour delay in public disclosure of VP Cheney's hunting accident: Flashback...CNN All Politics, Aug. 27, 1996 WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, Aug. 27) -- The same day Hillary Clinton was scheduled to speak at the Democratic National Convention, newly released documents suggest she was behind the 30-hour delay in releasing late White House counsel Vincent Foster's suicide note to authorities.

Tiny silicon chips were embedded into two workers who volunteered to help test the tagging technology at a surveillance equipment company, an official said Monday. The Mexico attorney general's office implanted the so-called RFIDs — for radio frequency identification chips — in some employees in 2004 to restrict access to secure areas. Implanting them in the workers at CityWatcher.com is believed to be the first use of the technology in living humans in the United States. Sean Darks, chief executive of the company, also had one of the chips embedded. "I have one," he said. "I'm not going to ask...

I Lucifer, as a deceiver of mankind, am telling you that largely because of your huge efforts, Americans now live in a post-Christ United States. I don’t follow the Bible and I am a liar, a deceiver and a master of confusion. I don’t appreciate or like people like Fox’s Bill O’Reilly or Sean Hannity, who keep bringing a pro-Christian awareness to the anti-Christian issues that I champion. These people are not doing my work. They are our enemies. There are countless other Christian conservatives that are my enemies. I hate them all. I am looking for delusional liberal disciples...

Sen. Hillary Clinton is one of the Democratic party's most powerful figures. And on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, she went for the Republican jugular. Attacking the Bush administration as "one of the worst" in history, Clinton pulled no punches in her speech. Could she be preparing for a presidential run?

Saying gun manufacturers should take steps to track guns, a Boston city councilor is proposing that global positioning technology be installed in firearms. Councilor Rob Consalvo wants to put a tracking device into newly manufactured guns and have legal gun owners retrofit their firearms so owners and police can locate and retrieve stolen guns the same way police use a computer chip to locate stolen cars. ''Let's use that same technology to track weapons so we know where they are when they're stolen or bought illegally," he said. ''I think it's a common-sense idea." Consalvo has asked Springfield-based Smith &...

Hillary Clinton Blasts GOP 'Plantation' NEW YORK -- Sounding a little like a preacher, a fired-up Sen. Hillary Clinton lambasted the Bush administration and the Republican-controlled Congress during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event, predicting the presidency "will go down in history as one of the worst" and saying the House of Representatives is run like a "plantation" where dissenting voices are squelched. "When you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation, and you know what I'm talking about," Clinton, D-N.Y., told the crowd at the Canaan Baptist...

Letter from the "Beast"! http://michaelwestfall.tripod.com/id49.html I am “Lucifer”, but you may call me “Satan”. I have wanted to write a series of letters to my various American disciples for the last two hundred years, but America’s culture had not yet reached the point to where it was fitting. After observing how successfully so many of you devoted Americans are now discipling for me, it is clearly apparent that in “2006” the time has now arrived to deliver a personalized communication as a token of my appreciation expressing my sincere gratitude. Your efforts have been the necessary and critical grease I...

If The Beast from the East, Nikolai Valuev, defeats John Ruiz in the Max Schmeling Halle in Berlin tonight to take the World Boxing Association version of the world heavyweight title, he will not only be the first Russian to lay claim to it, but also the biggest man. Valuev, 32, from St Petersburg, has never lost in 44 professional contests, but it is his size that marks him as truly exceptional. He is 7ft 2in, about a foot taller than Ruiz, and weighs up to 152kg (24st). However, the ans who once laughed when he stepped in the ring...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton accused President Bush of mismanaging the Iraq war and claimed his domestic agenda has taken the country off course in a speech Friday night to Democrats in a state that solidly backed the Republican president last year. About 2,000 people cheered the New York senator as she accused Bush of ignoring an ailing health care system and rewarding tax cuts to the wealthy while piling up deficits. Clinton headlined a party fundraiser that brought in $600,000 for Kentucky candidates as Democrats try to reverse gains by Republicans, who hold the governor's mansion and...

November 4, 2005--If Hillary Clinton runs for President in 2008, 29% of Americans say they would definitely vote for her. Forty percent (40%) would definitely vote against the former First Lady. In seven months of Hillary Meter election polls, the number of Americans who would definitely vote for the New York Senator has ranged from a low of 26% to a high of 32%. The number who would definitely vote against her ranged from a low of 36% to a high of 41% (Review Trends). Hillary's reputation as a polarizing figure remains intact. Nationally, 40% of Americans have a favorable...

Like a typical third-world nation, the United States is now a great carnival of contracts to reconstruct New Orleans and other areas affected by Hurricane Katrina. In the press and on television the disgusting business has been denounced. It is compromising the Government, which is practicing influence pedaling by awarding contracts to companies that it favors. All the beneficiaries have one common denominator: they financed the electoral campaigns of Republicans. Over $3.5 billion has already been spent in the first phase [of reconstruction], and similar sums will be expended to raise one of America’s most beautiful cities out of ruin...

DETROIT — Sales of sport utility vehicles took a dive in September, dragging down U.S. automakers who were already expecting payback after a summer of employee-pricing discounts. Asian brands, which didn't offer employee discounts, felt less pain. Several automakers reported strong car sales Monday, but SUVs took a hit industrywide in the U.S. market as gas prices skyrocketed following Hurricane Katrina (search). The Buick Rainier, Ford Explorer, Ford Expedition, Toyota Sequoia and Nissan Armada all saw their sales fall by 18 percent or more.

The pickup, introduced to the roads more than a century ago, was conceived to be the smallest possible get-the-job-done truck. Now International Truck and Engine has taken that concept and, oxymoronically, developed the world's biggest smallest truck -- the CXT. Such a feat is the equivalent of creating the world's shortest skyscraper, quietest fire alarm, slowest jet, driest swimming pool. The new CXT from International is hu-freakin-mongous. This bad boy is nine feet tall. It's got thigh-high tires, and two running boards up to the cab, and door handles you have to stretch for. When the bed gate folds down...

Here's a vast right-wing thing Sunday, Jun 26, 2005 By John Brummett First, why do I even write about this vicious, salacious and scandalously undocumented attack on Hillary Clinton? Its seediest allegations are so dubiously sourced they're not getting repeated in most of the reputable mainstream media, which is a wise lead I'll follow. The author apparently lies even in a caption on one of the book's photographs, asserting that Bill Clinton is getting a mouth-to-mouth kiss from a woman in a crowd. The photographer has come forward to say that what's happening in the shot is a standard and...
