Al Gore: A User’s Manual Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair review by Micah Holmquist October 16, 2000 Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair are as vital and unique as journalists get these days. Both committed leftists, the two use their bi-monthly newsletter Counterpunch to tell what is really going on both in the halls of power and amongst activists in the streets, forests and shop floors. The two rarely mince words and taking great pleasure in deriding —if not afflicting in any real material sense- the powerful. Senators, union heads, leaders of liberal groups, and Pulitzer Prize winning columnists...

Reprinted from NewsMax.com Expert Warns of Crisis in Latin AmericaDave Eberhart, NewsMax.comSaturday, July 20, 2002 The election in October of radical Luis Ignacio da Silva as president of Brazil could trigger the spread of anti-U.S. dictatorships in Latin America that would hold sway over as many as 300 million people and boost the potential of terror attacks on the U.S. from the south, warns Hudson Institute scholar Constantine C. Menges. Perennial candidate da Silva has managed not only to hang onto his early lead in the presidential polls but has climbed to 40 percent, 20 points ahead of his closest...

 Return of the FReepersLast year, on September 26, I wrote "anger, rage and destruction of various sorts" as a way of expressing what was going on in my life and, more specifically, how I felt powerless to prevent the United States military from continuing it practices. It was also a way of me trying to clarify why I cared so much when, as white citizen of the U.S., I have the ability to say to hell with the rest of the world without it negatively impacting my life.The following evening I wrote:Last night's entry wasn't the most eloquent or profound...

<!-- a{text-decoration:none} //--> content="">   A Petty Prosecution by Paul Craig RobertsAmerican conservatives are cheering Taliban John Lindh’s 20-year sentence (see for example, Washington Times editorial, July16). They would do better to step back and consider that if John Lindh can be coerced into a wrongful plea, so can they. The federal charges against Lindh are trumped up charges. Lindh did not go to Afghanistan as a member of a conspiracy to kill Americans. Lindh was fighting with the Taliban against other Afghans prior to the events of September 11. The Taliban were trying to unify hitherto un-unifiable Afghan...

The Good Guys Won, AnyhowBy Henry Mark HolzerFrontPageMagazine.com | July 19, 2002 John Walker Lindh should have been hauled before a military tribunal. He probably would have been, were it not for the provision in President Bush's executive order limiting military tribunals' jurisdiction to non-citizens (a move thought by some to have been a preemptive strike against the Fifth Column's legal crowd).  If Lindh had been tried by a military tribunal - whatever the specific charge(s) - given the facts, he almost assuredly would have been convicted.  The death penalty was a distinct possibility.Instead, Lindh was transferred from military to...

The Hate TourBy Lowell PonteFrontPageMagazine.com | July 18, 2002 WHILE THE NAACP STAGED ITS "HATE-FEST" (as the Wall Street Journal called it ) against Republicans last week in Houston, one prominent African-American travelling overseas snatched headlines by exceeding even Julian Bond’s toxic virulence."The Muslim American people are praying to the Almighty God to grant victory to Iraq" in any war with the United States, American Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan reportedly told his hosts during his latest visit to Saddam Hussein’s Baghdad.Farrakhan "does not represent our views or the views of American Muslims," said Faiz Rehman, spokesman for...

NewsMax.com   Wednesday, July 17, 2002Chung, Donahue Battling for Second Place With first place in the 8:00pm ET time slot firmly in the hands of Fox Cable TV superstar Bill O'Reilly, only second place is up for grabs, and that war is being waged by Connie Chung on CNN and aging retread Phil Donahue on struggling MSNBC. On his first night back on the air, Donahue, got the advantage of the curiosity factor and came in ahead of Chung by 300,000, with a total of 1.1 million viewers, to Chung's 800,000. O'Reilly's 2.3 million viewers, up 300,000 from last week,...

NewsMax.com   Tuesday, July 16, 2002Who Says the Communists Lost? The Soviet Union is no more, and communism has been discredited as a political system. Despite these facts, many of the goals set forth by the Communist thugs in the Soviet Union to bring about a world socialist order have been implemented or are in the process of being implemented down to this very day. NewsMax.com is indebted to reader Ed Werner for reminding us of the following 45 goals of the Communist Party that were exposed 40 years ago in "The Naked Communist" by Cleon Skousen, who was head...

NewsMax.com   Fighting for the Heartland Diane Alden July 16, 2002 One of my many heroes is Gen. George Patton. The descendant of military people who fought in most of the wars in which the U.S. has been engaged, Gen. Patton was no mealy-mouthed "perfumed prince." In many respects, he WAS an egomaniac; nonetheless, he did have a way of winning battles, projecting strategy and marshaling troops. One of his favorite sayings was the Latin phrase Fortuna Favet Fortibus! To those of you who never went to Catholic school or studied Latin, that means "Fortune Favors the Bold." Dakota Doldrums...

John Walker Lindh Pleads Guilty John Walker Lindh Pleads Guilty By Brian CarnellMonday, July 15, 2002 So John Walker Lindh plead guilty today to two separate charges that will land him in jail for at least 17 years. I wonder what its like to go from being part of one of the most extreme religious/political movements to getting your lawyers to weasel a deal from the Great Satan so you don't die in jail. And what kind of life will this guy have when he's released? The Washington Post quotes Lindh's father Frank as saying, Never once did he say...

Return to the referring page. Las Vegas SUN July 12, 2002 Jury: Student Can Form Anarchy Club CHARLESTON, W.Va.- Sissonville High School was wrong to ban an anarchy club but was right to suspend the student who proposed it in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, a jury decided Friday. The jury awarded student Katie Sierra $1 in damages. She was suspended for three days in October because she had fliers at her desk promoting her proposed club after administrators rejected it. Principal Forrest Mann also ordered Sierra not to wear T-shirts with handwritten messages that included, "When I...

Operation TIPS There's an alarmist article about this in the Sydney Morning Herald, written by a man named Ritt Goldstein who--Criswell predicts!--will be dismissed out of hand many as an America hater due to his biography: an investigative journalist and a former leader in the movement for US law enforcement accountability...he has lived in Sweden since 1997, seeking political asylum there, saying he was the victim of life-threatening assaults in retaliation for his accountability efforts. So I just thought I'd acknowledge that up front. But let's forget Mr. Goldstein for a moment and look at the government's own description of...
