Free Republic

Read this passage slowly and carefully, especially the second sentence: "The truth is that Mozart, Pascal, Boolean algebra, Shakespeare, parliamentary government, baroque churches, Newton, the emancipation of women, Kant, Marx, Balanchine ballet et al., don't redeem what this particular civilization has wrought upon the world. The white race is the cancer of human history. It is the white race and it alone — its ideologies and inventions — which eradicates autonomous civilizations wherever it spreads, which has upset the ecological balance of the planet, which now threatens the very existence of life itself." It was not the fault of the...

From The Archives...An Elephant Never Forgets!WHAT KERRY SAYS HE VOTED FOR: “I Voted To Threaten The Use Of Force To Make Saddam Hussein Comply With The Resolutions Of The United Nations…” (Sen. John Kerry As Quoted In Gloria Borger, “Learning The Lessons Of Gore,” U.S. News & World Report, 9/15/03)WHAT KERRY ACTUALLY VOTED FOR: THE WASHINGTON POST: "The House and Senate voted overwhelmingly to grant President Bush the power to attack Iraq unilaterally, remove Saddam Hussein from power and abolish that country's nuclear, chemical and biological weaponry. ...  The president needs no further congressional approval to deploy troops, order airstrikes...

The American way On the other side of the Atlantic, where juries are revered, UK lawyers’ squeamishness about serving is given short shrift, as everyone over there is expected to do their bit. “Juries are one of the hallmarks of a well-functioning democracy,” says Covington & Burling white collar crime partner Lanny Breuer, who is the lawyer who represented Bill Clinton in his impeachment proceedings. “A citizen can’t be imprisoned or have his or her liberty taken away simply by the act of an official such as a judge, and that’s why we put juries on such a pedestal.” In...

The criminal probe into how and why former Clinton national security adviser Sandy Berger illegally sneaked classified documents out of the National Archives is going forward despite a report that no originals are missing, officials say. "The investigation continues. It's irrelevant whether or not there are originals missing. What matters is that removing classified documents without authorization is illegal," a government official said. The Wall Street Journal on Friday quoted National Archives spokeswoman Susan Cooper as saying her agency is "confident" that no originals are lost — but she couldn't be reached and other officials declined to confirm that claim....

[T]he exclusively masculine epithets referring to this individual in the same tomb and on a now-vanished block at Memphis, confirm that we are dealing with a man - as distinct from the pharaoh-queen Ankh(et)kheperure Neferneferuaten... Contrary to Ancient Egyptian custom, Smenkhkare is not presented under a coronation name and a birth name in his two cartouches, but under two coronation names. The explanation for this curious fact seems to me clear: both his royal names were composed on the occasion of his coronation. He therefore must have had another name beforehand... The absence of a birth name, the lack of...

As we all know, when the news media wants to keep a story on the front page, or just in the news, they keep working the story from what they call the angles. Just look at the NY times keeping Abu Ghraib on their front page for weeks, or the weeks of discussing the 16 words in the State of the Union Speech (and of course now that they have been proved accurate, there is nary a mention) . There are those out there claiming that the Berger story has disappeared because there is nothing happening. When the News Media...

The Candidate With No Name By Andrew L. Jaffee, July 29, 2004 Home   Search   Forum   Terms ”Defeat Bush – VOTE In 2004!” I’ve seen more bumper-stickers with this platitude than I’ve seen ones that simply state, “Kerry/Edwards 2004.” While my liberal friends rarely mention Kerry and Edwards, they constantly remind me of how much they hate President Bush. This year, the politics of hate rule. The Left doesn’t even have a candidate. They are galvanized mainly by visceral hatred -- a hatred which stands on shaky assumptions, like the lies that Michael Moore sells as truths. In Fahrenheit 9/11, Moore insinuates that...

Andrea Mitchell on Imus just now. Imus this morning is stumbling through the Sandy Berger story to the extent he does not know why the documents were stolen by Berger. Of course, it is confusing to many --mainly because the press wont report it right. Imus asked her the crucial question: why would he steal these things if the original were still there? Mitchell gave no answer only repeating that Berger claims he did not put documents in his pants and socks. Of course, the story is that Berger took several versions of the Clinton White House after action report...

Yup, Savage was right: he predicted last week that the media would go overboard covering a missing woman, and sure enough .. sadly, but sure enough .. here comes a missing woman in Utah and a suspicious husband. They are purposely avoiding discussing the acts of possible treason and theft of classified documents by the Bergler ..even Geraldo .. it's disgusting. ""When I was informed by the Archives that there were documents missing, I immediately returned everything I had except for a few documents that I apparently had accidentally discarded." Sandy Berger A very telling Washington Times editorial, posted on...

I've posted this top a few other threads. Please ignore if you've seen it before ... I called our local Clear Channel station the night after this story broke and spoke for about 10 minutes describing the procedures used to handle classified information. The following is a basic description of what I said ... 1) A person who wishes to review classified information at a given facility must have his/her clearance on file with the security office that has legal custody of the information. 2) Once they arrive to the facility, they must show their credentials to identify themselves, sign...

Was lurking on DU. There all over this. Let's go get 'em.

So, copying top secret docs means Sandy Berger goes without being charged with a federal crime?So, Bill Clinton is laughing about it?Folks, it looks like we're gonna hafta SMOKE 'EM OUT!!

I want to sponsor a promotion with my local McDonalds. I encourage you all to do the same. It's called a "Sandy Burger". Anyone who wants it can have it for free, but you have to carry it out in your socks. Just a Thought. Fight the Good Fight - Keep the Faith

Clinton administration national security adviser Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger, under criminal investigation for removing copies of highly classified documents from the National Archives, severed his ties to John F. Kerry's campaign yesterday. Berger, who has been the subject of an investigation since October, stepped down as Kerry's informal adviser on foreign policy and national security as the campaign moved quickly to stem the unfolding story's political damage. A government official with knowledge of the probe said Berger removed from archives files all five or six drafts of a critique of the government's response to the millennium terrorism threat, which he...

I don't want this excellent film (or whatever one might call it) to disappear down the rabbit hole.

From The Archives...An Elephant Never Forgets! IN 1992, AL GORE ATTACKED PRESIDENT GEORGE H.W. BUSH FOR IGNORING IRAQ'S TIES TO TERRORISM. SEN. AL GORE: "[W]hen George Bush took office, he should have reevaluated what our relationship was with Iraq ..." CNN'S LARRY KING: "Well ..." GORE: "Let me finish, just briefly. Instead, he stepped up the foreign aid to Iraq, and he looked the other way when there were repeated incidents of terrorism in which Iraq had a part, terrorists operating openly in Baghdad, and repeated warnings from our national security people telling the Bush administration that Saddam was on...
