At the request of members, I am restarting those "Tales from the Dark UnderBelly Of the Beast"-- the stories and issues that the press and media either ignore, won't even talk about, or will mention once and forevermore claim "it's old news..."
Naturally, some will be stories which interest me, or things I think we all need to be aware of.
I am experimenting with a minor change in presentation- when I can, I will cut to
-GoogleNewsBeta--
with a keyword or two and see what kind of links to "mainstream" stories I can find in contrast to what we see here and on other sites.
May I remind you of a couple of points to bear in mind?
Each link usually has many other links within- follow them all to get "the rest of the story."
Don't forget the "open multiple browsers" trick with control-n -- this allows you to hold your place with one, and use the others to follow links, run searches, etc.
Rather than go back and rehash old links, I'll give you links to the original posts here:
-DUBOB 10- the *best of* the Dark Underbelly Series--
-DUBOB 9-- even *more* tales from the Dark Underbelly of the Beast..... --
DUBOB 8-- still *more* tales from the Underbelly***
DUBOB 7-- even *more* tales from the Dark Underbelly of the Beast.....
DUBOB 6-- yet *more* tales from the Dark Underbelly of the Beast.....
DUBOB 5-- even *more* tales from the Dark Underbelly of the Beast.....
DUBOB IV- yet more Tales from the Dark Underbelly of the Beast-
DUBOB III -- "Tales from the Dark Underbelly of the Beast"
DUBOB 2-- more tales from The Dark Underbelly of the Beast-- thread II
-The Dark Underbelly of the Beast- Stories the Media won't Discuss...--

This will be a big test for Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN), because the Democrats are threatening a filibuster. Frist made a good start by calling the Democrats' bluff. Usually the mere threat of a filibuster is enough to derail a vote. But Frist is challenging the Democrats to go out on the Senate floor, in full view of the C-Span2 cameras, and use this trick to prevent the first Hispanic from sitting on this court.
But for the first time ever they may have weapons that they can hurt us with and they just can't contain themselves. The NK's have been waiting decades to say "Yes, we can nuke you too, American dogs!!" They want to see us flinch.

Good Lord! Businesses have to pay for health insurance for dependents too? Are they going to cap the number of dependents? People with large families will be unemployable. $200- $300 a month sounds like about what my employer pays for 1 person.

The blacker-than-thou paradox divides
St. Petersburg Times ^ | February 13, 2002 | BILL MAXWELL
I think Jesse Peterson, Walter Williams, and Thomas Sowell hit the mark well. I also think they are having an impact. Educated black people have claimed their spot in the middle class and are well on their way to claiming their place in the upper class. It is only a matter of time before these leaders will get rid of the Dimocrapic plantation...

More than one billion dollars in cash have gone straight into the pockets of the U.N.
In theory, more than twenty-four billion dollars have been generated to provide humanitarian aid to the people of Iraq.

Peace For Our Time
As spoken at 10 Downing Street and as reported in Hansard | September 30, 1938 and October 3, 1938 | Neville Chamberlain
Where were these people when Clinton was bombing Yugoslavia??? What threat was Yugoslavia to the US??? Wasn't Milosevic elected by his own people (unlike Saddam)?
Where were they?? This has nothing to do about Saddam, or anti-war, it is anti-Bush, and anti-Republican, nothing more, nothing less.

Worse yet is what the American media fails to tell us. London's "Electronic Telegraph" reported this week that "North Korea is producing 15 tons of chemical weapons each day for use against South Korea ..." It's up to 1000 tons now (1997).

After Action Report - Central Florida takes on the Peace Weenies
self ^ | 15 February, 2003 | J. King
America is not a perfect country, but no country is - and for my money, America is the best country in the world because of our freedom and liberty. This insight appears to elude the "peace" protesters. After all, if the "peace protesters" were protesting against the regimes in their favored countries of Iraq, Cuba and Zimbabwe, they would be swiftly dispatched, along with their families.
I think he will risk it. I believe he knows something about Iraq that he is not able to share with us at the present time, but once Saddam is out, his reasons will become clear.
Google Buys Pyra: Blogging Goes Big-Time (Start your blog now before it's too late!)SiliconValley.com ^ | February 15, 2003 | Dan GillmorMost of them get almost zero traffic, of course. But many of the good ones have higher circulations than most political magazines like National Review and The New Republic. And they tend to be read by a pretty influential crowd. There have been several stories that got shoved into the national media pack journalism spotlight almost purely because of blogs (the Wellstone "Memorial" Rally, for one). It used to be that only The New York Times had that sort of power.

Amazing. In the 60's the left complained that the draft wasn't fair to blacks and the poor. Now they are whining that voluntary service isn't fair to blacks and the poor. Is there a pattern ?

The national media estimated the turn out in Colorado Springs today at 3000 while the local paper estimated it at 1000. Click Here Amazing they always error in the same direction.

Africa's tragedy

The end result of all this misery has been the greatest tragedy of all: Africa has made itself irrelevant.

The prisoner of Baghdad
Scotland On Sunday ^ | Sun 16 Feb 2003 | Saad Hirri
Saad's experiences are the standard Arab stuff. The Spanish bastinado (beating the soles of the feet until the feet swell to the size of a football - and doing it again after a day or two, when the feet are exquisitely tender - and then again and again over a period of weeks or months) was learned from their Arab conquerors.
