BELGRADE, Yugoslavia -- Faster than its troops roll out of Kosovo, Serbia is turning the war into a story of heroic struggle against superior odds in which torture, mass murder and ethnic cleansing played no part. The state media dismiss the reports as NATO propaganda, and the picture of a war in which the Yugoslav army and police did not commit one atrocity is spreading swiftly by the word of mouth of ordinary Serbs. Returning refugees and soldiers like Zdravko Savatic feed that belief. Savatic is certain that ethnic Albanians were treated with respect and decency. There were no murders, ...

1) An "unprecedented" combined hearing of four Senate committees to hear from Rudman and Richardson, but only CNN offered any live coverage. ABC's World News Tonight ignored the hearing as it did the release of Rudman's report last week. 2) "Bill Clinton heard himself cheered as a winner," noted Sam Donaldson from Aviano AFB. In the refugee camps CBS found he "got a hero's welcome." NBC relayed he was greeted "like a liberator." 3) FNC's Carl Cameron caught George W. Bush in a mistake: Bush confused Slovakia with Slovenia. 4) Dan Rather to Jay Leno: "I can identify with ...

WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, June 23) -- Texas Gov. George Bush raised $2 million from Washington-area donors and a fund-raiser where supporters paid $1,000 apiece to eat hot dogs, hamburgers and brownies. It was possibly the biggest presidential fund-raising day for a candidate that the nation's capital has ever seen. Against a backdrop of 26 American flags, Bush, who is seeking the Republican nomination, told the enthusiastic crowd on Tuesday: "I'm proud to be a compassionate conservative. On this ground, I will take my stand." Among the 2,000 attendees, half had already donated the maximum $1,000 to the campaign and were invited ...

Lawsuits Against States Are Limited By RICHARD CARELLI .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - State governments cannot be sued against their will in state courts by people seeking to enforce some federal right, the Supreme Court said today in a major decision on states' rights. By a 5-4 vote, the justices killed a state court lawsuit by dozens of state probation officers seeking to enforce a federal labor law and collect overtime pay from Maine. The court ruled that the Constitution's ``structure and history'' shields states not only from being sued in federal courts, but also makes them immune ...

The Fed has an opening on its board of governors, and apparently a social worker will fill it. Her name is Carol J. Parry of Chase Manhattan Bank, former director of child-welfare services for New York City. What could this mean? The Fed, an institution wholly unnecessary in a free society, was founded in the name of scientific money management. It promised to smooth out business cycles and curb inflation. Of course, it's given us plenty of both. With money increasingly flowing out of the banking system, and international markets making the central bankers look powerless in comparison, the ...

Gov't Witness' Credibility Attacked By MICHELLE MITTELSTADT .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - Lawyers for former Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros are chipping away at the credibility of a woman at the core of prosecutors' case against the one-time Clinton Cabinet member. Appearing as a government witness, Linda Jones spent much of the court sessions Monday and Tuesday on the stand, explaining why she secretly recorded phone conversations with her ex-lover and what she did with the tapes. The 88 recordings, which lawyers for Cisneros are seeking to quash, are central to the prosecution's contention that Cisneros conspired with Ms. ...

"I want to see some action. It's payback time," said Sgt. Alexander Aguilastratt, 24, from Miami. "The thing that makes me really mad is that Serb units were behaving like they were returning war heroes. They got their a-- kicked." He added, "When we see the leader of the Tigers Brigade saying that, if Americans bring troops to Kosovo, it will be another Vietnam, all we got to say is 'bring it on.'" The above excerpt came from the June 18 online edition of the London Times, describing the sentiments of some of the U.S. Marines from the 1st Division ...

McCain Courting GOP Lawmakers By SCOTT LINDLAW .c The Associated Press SACRAMENTO (AP) - Presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain is quietly trying to win over Republican lawmakers, some of whom have already endorsed his front-running rival, Texas Gov. George W. Bush. The Arizona senator has made contact in recent days with a handful of lawmakers, including California Assemblyman Rod Pacheco, who has backed Bush. ``We had a discussion about a number of issues that are important to him and to me,'' Pacheco of Riverside said Tuesday. ``He gave me some details on his campaign and how well it's going. It ...

Prosecutors have indicated to the court and to defense attorneys that they are prepared to put Mrs Clinton on the witness stand in the Castle Grande case. She is mentioned in the case 35 times and prosecutors believe she has valuable information to provide for this trial which is scheduled for August 9th. FOX, while claiming that there are many options open to her, says we may expect to see her called to the stand in the early weeks of the Hubbell trial.

Apparently it's definite, FOX News has the witness list or were tipped that hillary is on it.

WASHINGTON -- Two days after NATO Secretary General Javier Solana's proclamation June 20 that Operation Allied Force was officially over, the Air Force started a phased termination of its Stop-Loss program that had kept airmen in fields critical to the allied effort from leaving the service during the air campaign over Yugoslavia. In its announcement June 22, the Air Force did not completely eliminate Stop-Loss, stating that both the service and people affected by the halt in separations need flexibility to transition to prewar operations. Stop-Loss took effect June 15. "With the end of hostilities, withdrawal of Yugoslav troops from ...

BREAKING: HILLARY TO BE WITNESS IN HUBBLE TRIAL

BEIJING—In mid-May, about a week after U.S. warplanes mistakenly bombed China's embassy in Yugoslavia, someone posted a document on a Chinese government-regulated World Wide Web site that purportedly had been pasted on the wall of the dining hall in China's Foreign Ministry on May 13. The document made incendiary allegations about corruption at China's embassy in Washington, including the misappropriation of tens of thousands of dollars worth of Chinese government funds for private use. "There is just an unlimited number of padded accounts, made-up accounts, and dead accounts," the document said. "One hundred years of history teaches us: corruption leads ...

Wanted: Qualified ex-police officers for duty in an international monitoring force in Kosovo. A spokesman for DynCorp, the private company recruiting the officers, told WorldNetDaily that Kosovo "currently has no police force," and that "Kosovars are not ready (to police themselves) yet, and there will be no Serb paramilitary or police forces left there" after final withdrawal as part of the NATO peace settlement.

Two primary targets are now in the cross hairs of the global tax-mongers: carbon and currency exchange. Carbon taxes are being designed to modify social behavior while the tax on currency exchange is designed to increase U.N. revenue from about $11 billion per year to $1.5 trillion per year. A revenue stream, independent of the voluntary contributions of member states, is all that prevents the United Nations from imposing, and enforcing, its vision of global governance. Momentum is building for global taxation schemes to provide that independent revenue stream. More than two-thirds of the American people support the idea of ...

What has suffered most in America and around the world because of Bill Clinton's presidency, is trust. The nation can't function without it. The underpinning of the Constitution is trust. Trust is the lifeblood of all relationships and transactions. Trust is what allows us to function normally. It keeps us from living in fear. Trust is our constant companion in all that is said and done.But trust has been shattered in a million pieces by our lying president, his lying political cronies, and his lying liberal press.If Bill Clinton has accomplished anything to his credit, it is that he has ...
