Free Republic

This report encompasses three protests in one post - Friday (6/25), Monday (6/28) and today, Wednesday (6/30). Free Republic was represented, even though there wasn't enough time to write separate reports. It was horrible weather for the most part - very hot, humid, muggy and overcast. The Clintons were away from their temporary quarters. But, that's okay. It's summer, school is over and Pennsylvania Avenue was absolutely teaming with tourists. Friday and Monday there were lots of thumbs up signals, comments like "he should be in jail" or "I agree with you - I think he sold us out to ...

NOTE: I will interject [my own editorial comments] into the body of the article thusly. TUESDAY, JUNE 29, 1999 USA When only a party line divides Front-runners Al Gore and George W. Bush echo [I don't know about you, but I want a choice, NOT an echo.] each other as they seek the center. [Dubya and the establishment behind him hold you, the GOP grassroots primary voter, in such contempt, they believe they've got the primaries won already, so confident are they in their power through the media to stampede you into coronating this fraud. I hope you prove them ...

I was reading the Bill of Rights yet again, and when I was looking at the 5th Amendment I noticed something interesting. I do not know if anyone else has seen this little Gem, but it might be some ammo for those Patriots whom wish to defend our 2nd Amendment Rights.Amendment V No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, Unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising In the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time Of war or public ...

For private, non-commercial use only TUESDAY, JUNE 29, 1999 USA When only a party line divides Front-runners Al Gore and George W. Bush echo each other as they seek the center. Linda Feldmann (feldmannl@csps.com) Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor WASHINGTON Has anyone ever seen them in the same place at the same time? Maybe Vice President Al Gore and Texas Gov. George W. Bush are the same person. Or at least it seems that way at times, as the two major parties' new standard-bearers crisscross the US, sounding strikingly similar themes in their pitches to voters. For the ...

Bush Jr.'s Skeleton Closet http://www.realchange.org/bushjr.htm A JOURNALIST'S INTRODUCTION TO SKULL AND BONES The more information comes out on George W. (Junior), the less he seems like the best choice for President. I know that is directly contrary to what the media is telling us. Hell, if you listen to the elitist managed East Coast Establishment, George W.(Junior) might even be the second coming. I think they may be right about that, but not in the sense they mean. It increasingly seems that George Jr. may be nothing more that the second coming of George Sr. - supporter of the "third ...

North Korea May Be Preparing Missile Launch (CNS) - It looks like North Korea may be preparing for a new missile launch, despite the Clinton administration's warnings not to do it, a senior Pentagon official said today. Deputy Assistant Defense Secretary Kurt Campbell told reporters, "I think it is fair to say that we have seen some preparations . . . some indications of a potential launch in the future." He refused to discuss details, however. If a launch does take place, it would damage the shaky relations the United States now has with the Communist nation. North Korea is ...

The Treason of the Intellectuals By Edward Said No one at all can doubt that what has transpired in Kosovo as a result both of Slobodan Milosevic's brutality and the NATO response has made matters a good deal worse than they were before the bombing. The cost in human suffering on all sides has been dreadful, and whether it is in the tragedy of the refugees or the destruction of Yugoslavia, no simple reckoning or remedy will be available for at least a generation, perhaps longer. As any displaced and dispossessed person can testify, there is no such thing as ...

On Hannity and Colmes this evening, Bobb barr articulated the details of his lawsuit, filed by Judicial watch, against the Clinton administration. Dick Morris, just before the segment was over, said that it would "blow the lid off" Clinton's use of the FBI files against opponets.Now, I hold Mr Dicky in as low esteem as anyone. But, there seems to be a bone here that our friends Barr and Klayman have their teeth sunk into.Wouldn't it be ironic if, in the end, Clinton falls by the tort laws of the country...Mike

The WASHINGTON POST'S Dana Priest is preparing a post-Cold War shock story for Thursday's editions: Strategic bombers from Russia flew within striking distance of the U.S. last week. The POST reports that Russia is in the middle of the largest war exercises since the end of the Cold war and that U.S. and western leaders are increasingly concerned about the current military leadership in Moscow. Developing hot...

Who owns Bill Clinton? Is it the Chinese Communists -- (oops, I mean "Our valued trading partners")? Or James Riady? Or perhaps the trial lawyers of America? Or maybe the Gay & Lesbian Alliance? Or Big Oil? Or the military-industrial complex? Or the huge abortion industry? Or the angry tomboys in NOW? The answer is "All Of The Above." The only interest group in America who doesn't own a piece of William Jefferson Blythe a/k/a Clinton are the American people - you, me, all of us who aren't on the make and willing and able to pay for our share ...

London Free Press Columnist: Helen Connell June 30, 1999 Keeping the peace means justice for all By Heather Connell -- London Free Press   A 35-year-old woman lived her last moments in terror, first raped, then stabbed to death in Belo Polje in Kosovo.  In Prizren, an old man came home from shopping to find his 77-year-old wife had been hacked to death with an axe.  The homes of 14 other families in the towns of Kacanik and Gjilane have been torched.  The ritual of violence and terrorism continues in Kosovo. Only the ethnicity of the victims changes. After ...

Thursday, July 1, 1999 Edition House passes bill to restrict teen abortions (story list individual votes) WASHINGTON (AP) - The House approved new abortion restrictions today by voting to make it more difficult for a minor to end a pregnancy. Under a bill adopted 270-159, anyone who avoids parental involvement laws by taking a pregnant girl out of state for an abortion could be prosecuted in federal court. But the vote was more than a dozen short of the required two-thirds majority, or 286 votes, needed to overturn a threatened White House veto. Supporters said the measure, H.R. 1218, will ...

President Clinton has authorized the CIA to conduct a covert action campaign to unseat Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, according to administration and congressional officials. The secret plan was outlined in a presidential "finding" that states the program is in the U.S. national security interest and authorizes secret operations to back anti-Serb rebels, funnel money to opposition politicians and groups, and actively disrupt his grip on power, said officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity. This plan adds a new wrinkle to traditional covert action programs: the use of computer hackers to try to electronically break into Mr. Milosevic's foreign ...

Kosovo: The Road To Peace Wednesday, June 30, 1999 Sniper fires at Canadian SKOPJE, Macedonia (CP) -- One of the Canadian helicopters enforcing the Kosovo peace plan returned fire after a lone sniper being hunted by British soldiers shot at it Wednesday. Canadian Forces spokesperson Capt. Mike Audette, speaking from Skopje, said this was the first time a Canadian helicopter had come under fire in Kosovo, and called the incident an "isolated event." "This is not a common occurrence, most of the parties in Kosovo have been agreeing with the peace treaties," he said. No one aboard the Griffon helicopter ...

There was a time when politics was perceived as a noble calling. Etiquette books and English grammar primers still instruct us to address letters written to officeholders with reverential dignity, as in "Honorable Senator Adams." Today, however, attitude surveys reveal that our citizens' respect for politicians is down in the cellar, about par with their feelings about used car salesmen and IRS auditors. If this is so, how does one explain the current intoxication of New York State Democrats with the possibility of Hillary Clinton trying to fill Daniel Patrick Moynihan's vacant Senate seat? After all, here is a ...

In recent weeks, we've seen lengthy discussions here at FR concerning living in other countries. The premise: something akin to "Enough's enough! I've had it with the Liberals and their freedom-grabbing ilk! I'm outta here!!" Many chimed in, recommending this country or that or inserting the occasional warning or two. Hey, I chimed in myself. Well, most of us are going to stick around. In my work, I can literally live anywhere. Currently living in Raleigh, NC, we are rapidly approaching a move, and we've had much in-house discussion around the ol' RightOnline household about "Gee, where should we live?" ...

US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright may be dismissed already this summer for mistakes in the US policy regarding Yugoslavia, a Russian influential newspaper reported today, liking the US official's forecasts about an early collapse of the Milosevic regime from the air strikes to the revelations of Nostradamus. As the Russian news agency Itar-Tass reported, the Nezavisimaya Gazeta article, which cites its sources in Washington, states that "In Washington they are talking that a certain reshuffle will take place in the State Department leadership before this autumn. President Bill Clinton has reportedly found a worthy replacement to current Secretary of ...

The national chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Joe Andrew, announced (Wednesday evening) at a fund- raising dinner in Chicago attended by President Clinton that the DNC is fully out of debt. With the $500,000 raised at the dinner completing a turnaround from the party's multimillion-dollar debts from the 1996 campaign, Andrew declared to donors: "Now we are ready to fight. Now we are, with your help, ready to win." not for commercial use
