Robert David Steele, former Marine, CIA case officer, and US co-founder of the US Marine Corps intelligence activity, is a man on a mission. But it's a mission that frightens the US intelligence establishment to its core.... ...Drawing on principles set out in his latest book, The Open-Source Everything Manifesto: Transparency, Truth and Trust, he told the audience that all the major preconditions for revolution – set out in his 1976 graduate thesis – were now present in the United States and Britain.... "...We are at the end of a five-thousand-year-plus historical process during which human society grew in scale...

With his mohawk, ratty fatigues, assorted chains and his menagerie of tattoos — swallows on each shoulder, a nautical star on his back and the logo of the Bouncing Souls, a New York City punk band, on his right leg — 22-year-old Nick Rizzuto is the very picture of counterculture alienation. But it's when he talks politics that Mr. Rizzuto sounds like a real radical, for a punk anyway. Mr. Rizzuto is adamantly in favor of lowering taxes and for school vouchers, and against campaign finance laws; his favorite Supreme Court justice is Clarence Thomas; he plans to vote for...

Governed by rules, not men Posted: February 11, 20041:00 a.m. Eastern © 2004 Creators Syndicate, Inc. Having been deserted by her husband, my mother worked. That meant that my one-year-younger sister and I often lunched by ourselves during our pre-teen years. Being bigger and stronger than my sister, quite often there wouldn't be a fair division of the food, especially the desserts. Coming home from work, Mom would be greeted by sob stories about my lunchtime injustices. There came a time when Mom got fed up with the sibling hassles – but she didn't admonish us to be more caring, fair, sensitive...

A socialist rock group signed to a behemoth capitalist corporation? It sounds like a contradiction, but for Rage Against the Machine, it just means they are fighting the devil from within. And their label, Epic Associated (owned by Sony), is making quite a bit of money off the quartet, so it isn't complaining, either. Consisting of singer Zack de la Rocha, guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Timmy C. and drummer Brad Wilk, the L.A. band gave their first performance in 1991 in a friend's living room. Less than two years later, their Epic debut hit the streets. RATM's quick rise can...

Amazing sight to see....the man who freed millions of Iraqi's dissed by some smelly nitwits.

New York's Hate FestBy John PerazzoFrontPageMagazine.com | February 18, 2003 My day in New York City began in much the same way as it would end several hours later. Around 11 a.m. Saturday, I arrived at the First Avenue site of the massive “anti-war” rally organized by the Communist peace-front organization United For Peace and Justice (UFPJ). The expressed sentiments that I heard and read within my first three minutes there, would be echoed time and again by the many guest speakers addressing the crowd that day. As I headed toward a suitable vantage point from which to observe...

CONSERVATIVE TRUTH.ORG The "Peace Movement" February 17, 2003 by Bruce Walker So now - again! - patriotic Americans confront the so-called "Peace Movement". Leftists accept at face value the name of any leftist organization. So they consider the "Peace Movement" to be serious people interested in peace. Christians take war seriously. Human life is sacred. Shedding blood requires vital reasons. Some Christian denominations believe nothing justifies violence. These genuine pacifists often choose to live in their own communities apart from society. They rely upon love as a substitute for government. When asked if they would use violence to protect their...
