The decisive issue posed by the eruption of American militarism is the need for the building of a political movement against war, independent of the Democrats and Republicans and based on the American working people. Such a movement must begin with the demand for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of all American troops from Iraq. It must reject the entire fraud of the “war on terror,” and insist that all those who conspired to launch the war in Iraq be held responsible both politically and criminally.

What is striking in Bush's speech is that there is no reference to "Weapons of Mass Destruction", which had been used profusely in earlier national security statements and presidential addresses, both prior and in the wake of the invasion of Iraq.

This speech concentrates almost exclusively on the threat from "terrorists" including Osama and Zarqawi. It portrays the Iraq resistance as terrorists. It rests its case almost exclusively on 9/11 and the doctrine of self defense against an illusive outside enemy which is threatening the Homeland.

The Anti-Defamation League's new, tougher hate bill, "The Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2005," HR 2662, if passed, will very soon end FREE SPEECH and FREE SPEECH TALK RADIO. The ADL, through similar legislation, has already ended free speech in Canada. It wants to do the same in America.

Justice Souter's vote in the "Kelo vs. City of New London" decision allows city governments to take land from one private owner and give it to another if the government will generate greater tax revenue or other economic benefits when the land is developed by the new owner.

On Monday June 27, Logan Darrow Clements, faxed a request to Chip Meany the code enforcement officer of the Towne of Weare, New Hampshire seeking to start the application process to build a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road. This is the present location of Mr. Souter's home.

China is behaving as we did in the 19th century. We used tariffs to protect U.S. markets and give our manufacturers a huge advantage over foreign producers. China does the same through currency control. Where Hamilton encouraged British textile makers to steal their secrets and come to America to set up shop, China is saturating this country with spies and thieving intellectual property from U.S.-built factories.

Our nation's foundational documents assert the "self-evident" truth that rights are granted by a Creator and that "Congress shall make no law" limiting or abolishing them. In stark contrast, the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights claims that rights are granted by a "constitution or by law," and that they "shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law." That is, unlike our own Declaration of Independence or Constitution, UN instruments are based on the false premise that government is the source of our rights and may therefore determine what those rights are. The contrast between the two systems could hardly be greater.

There is surely a serious problem brewing in the world's need for an affordable and reliable supply of energy. Ever since Winston Churchill and Gertrude Bell drew a map of the current Iraq, supposedly on a breakfast napkin, to Franklin D Roosevelt's historic meeting and agreement with King Ibn Saud on an American ship, the policies of the British and their successor hegemon, America, have been based on ensuring reliable access to cheap oil to fuel economic progress.

HUMAN EVENTS intern and photojournalist Carrie Devorah went to federal government buildings in the District of Columbia and photographed some of the many religious and religiously inspired items in those buildings. In addition, she obtained a picture from the White House of the Adams Prayer Mantel. These pictures are a small sampling of the many religious images scattered throughout government buildings in D.C. and around the country.

President Bush will be addressing the nation about Iraq on Tuesday night. This is the first time he will be speaking to the country on the U.S. occupation of Iraq since the Downing Street Memos have been released. As ten senators pointed out in a letter on Friday, June 24 “at a time the White House was promising Congress and the American people that war would be their last resort, that they believed military action against Iraq was 'inevitable.'”

People should be free to make their own disparate and subjective choices about the allocation of their property without the threat of seizure of said property simply because government officials project that they can squeeze a few more dollars out of it than what is produced currently.

The problem with ignorance is that it is unfounded, and therefore gullible, manipulated, and very dangerous. Generations of American people fell victim to the Communist movement in America because they didn’t check their facts. They didn’t check their candidates or their laws and legislation. They didn’t read their Constitution or their Bill of Rights, their history, or the world’s history. They were told that liberalism was moralism, and that conservativism was stupid, bully-ish, insensitive, and religiously fanatical. And sadly, they fell for granddaddy of all manipulations – that political liberalism AND conservatism is one entity called politics - the antithesis and nemesis of the individual.

Ever wonder how dependent the American people have become on the federal government compared to, say, a generation ago? Now, thanks to The Heritage Foundation's new study, "The 2005 Index of Dependency," we can answer that question -- but be forewarned; the data doesn't paint a pretty picture.

The Times was especially gratified that the decision marked "a setback to the 'property rights' movement." The editors put the phrase property rights in quotes to signal their belief that the whole concept is specious. In their view, when it comes to "property rights," you don't have any. When the city council cuts a deal with some developers who want your land for a new stadium or mall or office complex...well, hard cheese old stick. Here's a check, go find yourself another hovel where you can live out your miserable, insignificant existence.

For the U.S., domestically, the ongoing racial radicalization of the darker-skinned people of Latin America portends difficulties. The immigrant stream from Latin America is increasingly less white, as regions farther south in Mexico are tapped. We are even seeing hundreds of thousands of pure Indians who speak no Spanish. Next year's Mexican election will be closely followed on Spanish-language television by tens of millions of immigrants in the U.S. And then this vast anti-white movement might begin to surface here.

Rep. Candice Miller, R-Mich., wants to change one word in the U.S. Constitution.

Replacing "persons" with "citizens" in the 14th Amendment would force the Census Bureau to discount foreigners -- legals and illegals -- to ensure that every American finally would be properly represented in the House.

What economists overlook is that when we speak of the Chinese economy, we are speaking in large part of the relocation of American manufacturing to China. Those millions of lost domestic manufacturing jobs were not lost. They were moved. The jobs still exist, only they are not filled by Americans.

We are at a crossroads historically and politically. The time for people to remain as spectators has passed. I'm convinced that the next phase of our evolution as a country won't trickle down from our leadership, it will rise up from the people, ensuring that our representatives follow the will of the people.

Trying to create democracy at the point of a foreign bayonet was a fool's errand from the beginning. It can't be done. My guess is the Iraqis will eventually choose another strongman to give them what they most want, which is security, functioning utilities and jobs. What we have done with our invasion and error-riddled occupation is create the perfect conditions for a new dictator.

Democrats see life as a zero-sum game. To them, if someone wins that means it must come at the expense of someone else. To the Democrat, then, success is evil as it causes pain and suffering to others. Since America is unprecedentedly successful the Democrat sees America as unprecedentedly evil. To the Democrat, then, comparisons between America and the likes of Hitler, Pol Pot, and Ghangis Kahn are not just apt, they are understatement.

So the American government is pressuring foreign countries to censor their news. Aside from the fact that this act is the height of arrogance by the United States, it makes it exceedingly clear why so many Americans who rely on the corporate media for their news continue to be so misinformed/un-informed about the goings on in Iraq. If the American government is attempting to censor the news in foreign countries, you can imagine what they are doing at home.

The Defense Department began working yesterday with a private marketing firm to create a database of high school students ages 16 to 18 and all college students to help the military identify potential recruits in a time of dwindling enlistment in some branches.

The program is provoking a furor among privacy advocates. The new database will include personal information including birth dates, Social Security numbers, e-mail addresses, grade-point averages, ethnicity and what subjects the students are studying.

We’re even more anxious to know why no one at the Post remembered that Hufbauer’s most important previous prediction about U.S. trade policy ranks as one of the great economic screw-ups of all time: His forecast that the post-NAFTA U.S. trade surplus with Mexico would rise to “about $7 billion to $9 billion annually by 1995" and hit $9 to $12 billion in the first decade of the 21st century.

With America’s Mexico trade balance nosediving from a half-million-dollar surplus in1994 to a $61.94 billion deficit in 2004, Hufbauer was off by $73 billion last year alone. Why does anyone suppose that his crystal ball has gotten any clearer since?

"Any property may now be taken for the benefit of another private party, but the fallout from this decision will not be random,' O'Connor wrote. 'The beneficiaries are likely to be those citizens with disproportionate influence and power in the political process. . . ."

It’s looking more and more like the American contribution to population reduction will be in the form of diagnosing half its citizens as mental incompetents. That will naturally lead to reproductive legislation and control. And when they come up with a way to declare eldership and religiosity as mental illnesses, which is well underway, that will clear the way for incarceration and euthanasia legislation, including, but not limited to, starvation and dehydration.

Fifty years ago, a decade after Europeans had been extricated from the hellhole of World War Two by their magnanimous American cousins, the Old World denizens again were enjoying the fruits of civility envisioned for them in their Maker’s original Garden of Eden.

To this end, he taught for all times that leadership is about service. Not about self-interest and self-aggrandizement. He taught an eternal lesson in responsible leadership, as well as the emptiness of a bloated conception of one’s ego. To this end, when a man clothes himself with the arrogance of omnipotence, he in Aristotelian terms, crowns himself a beast or a god, because omnipotence never resides in the society of men. He either dwells with the gods, or he ambles with the insane. He either sits in the Olympian heights, or in the pits of bestiality. He either dines with the gods, or he hunts with the dogs. No man can coronate himself a god without unholy consequences. That is a lesson, which humanity unfortunately has failed to learn.

The political makeover of Mr. Bush from the "accidental president" – after all, he had failed to win the support of the majority of voters in 2000 – to a "war president" reflected the successful way in which he and his aides exploited the wave of post-9/11 American nationalism triggered by the images of death and destruction in New York and Washington, by creating the perception that Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden were somewhat linked.

The investigations of the secret Bush money tranches are coming to the fore as New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer focuses in on the scandal involving Maurice "Hank" Greenberg and the inflation of the worth of American Insurance Group (AIG) through shady affiliates, including AIG reinsurer Coral Re of Barbados.

Another probe by Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau is focused on long-time Bush backers Sam and Charles Wyly of Texas and a Bank of America off-shore account in the Isle of Man.

The Department of Homeland Security has allowed thousands of employers to hire millions of illegal aliens because of a lack of funding, manpower and commitment to solve the problem, a House subcommittee was told yesterday.

Homeland Security -- through U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) -- has not actively sought to bring cases or level fines against employers who knowingly hire illegals, said Carl W. Hampe, the Justice Department's former top legal representative in immigration litigation.

Bush needs to tell us where we are going, how long it will take, how much it will cost, what the prospects are of success, what the risks and costs of failure are, and what victory will look like.

America needs answers now. Assurances will not longer do.

It is the aggressive policies of our government that provoke our enemies and grant them credibility in the eyes of the masses in their part of the world. A centralized communist "caliphate" could never work and would never be accepted by the people of the Islamic world. They probably wouldn't listen to the fundamentalist crazies at all if we treated them the way we demand to be treated.

Is the devaluation of the US dollar very far away--the first of many devaluations? In a Wall Street Journal column entitled, "Another Bubble Set To Blow Up?" investment guru, Paul Farrell, wrote: "Lately I'm seeing telltale signs everywhere that despite all the bullish talk, a bubble's about to burst. Something will pull the trigger---real estate, hedge funds, deficits, something."

What the French and Dutch did was buy themselves some time. If we stop CAFTA this year we will delay the FTAA. That buys us some time. As our job base continues to erode alongside our property rights, and as we move toward national ID, maybe—just maybe—a critical mass of Americans will unplug from the “real matrix,” wake up and become educated about the threats to this nation that don’t involve terrorism.

In an effort to eliminate fraud and ensure the quality of care for retirees in nursing homes, the Social Security Protection Act of 2004 places strict penalties on any care facility of 15 people or more if they are determined to have “misused” the Social Security and Medicare money of their patients. And just what does “misused” mean? Who knows, the actual determination of the definition of “misuse” is left to the Commissioner of Social Security to be prescribed by regulation. So now a faceless bureaucrat has control over what can and cannot be done in nursing homes without any controls from our elected officials.

All it will take is one malcontent before one activist judge in one court case to order the Commissioner of Social Security to regulate the “misuse” of Social Security payments to include religious services, visits from clergy to the elderly, even the administration of the Anointing of the Sick, on nursing home property in the same way such activities are banned from the public schools.

There are those who say that China is being influenced by prosperity, and that they are reaping the rewards of capitalism, and because of this have no reason to use military might to forward Mao’s version of Communism. These pie-in-the-sky wishers do not understand the Chinese. What we are really doing is financing their military buildups, technology, and monetary base. Those who have forgotten history need to be reminded that we did the same thing in the 1930s when we sold scrap metal to Japan, only to reap the whirlwind when they used our metal in the ships and planes and bombs that attacked Pearl Harbor.

Foreign drunk drivers residing legally in the United States have long been given a free pass to wreak havoc on our highways . . . courtesy of the federal government.

The chaos of immigration litigation in the federal immigration bureaucracy has gotten so bad that even a criminal alien resident convicted of repeat felony drunk driving—who was drunk behind the wheel and killed someone—can’t be ordered to be deported and stay deported from the United States. (See the Lara-Cazares case below.)

What price nothing? A couple of thousand dead kids, countless cripples who will remain crippled when the current administration has been forgotten, a country wrecked, God knows how many dead Iraqis (I know, they don’t count), thousands of sisters and mothers remembering Bobby every Christmas and looking at his last year book from high school, a tremendous diminution in America’s influence and prestige as China rises, unforeseeable consequences in the Middle East. For what, Mr. Bush? For what?

Industry analysts say that GM managers were under pressure to make a dramatic layoff announcement because they face a takeover threat from Las Vegas casino mogul Kirk Kerkorian, who has been amassing shares of GM stock. His aim is straightforward--break up GM. The calculation is that while GM stock is worth less than $20 billion in total, the various elements of the corporation could be sold off in pieces and bring in three or four times that amount.

"Throwing caution to the wind, he started a torrid affair with a stunning divorcee in her early forties, who lived near the Clintons in Chappaqua. There was nothing discreet about the way he conducted this illicit relationship; he often spent the night at his lover's home, while his Secret Service agents waited in a car parked at the end of her driveway."

The issue today, according to the likes of the U.N. and partners such as the Wildlands Project, is massive population reduction. And because educated elitists are driving this thing, one of their brilliant deductions has been to sociologically re-engineer men and women into equal creatures. Not equal men and women, mind you, but equal creatures. Here’s my theory: Emasculating men and de-feminizing women eliminates the cultural problems of soldiering and slave labor. It also eliminates the traditional roles of parents. This way the creature parents, from a social viewpoint, can legally be sent to war zones and assigned to corporation labor.

Why did these senators give Bush a blank check to go to war? Why did they fail in their duty as custodians of the congressional war powers by not demanding Bush prove Saddam had ties to 9/11 and an arsenal of WMD he planned to use? Why did they not ask in advance how the Bush administration planned to pacify and democratize Iraq? Why did they not demand to known how long pacification would take and what the cost might be in lives and treasure?

The fact that I and my fellow Democrats had to stuff a hearing into a room the size of a large closet to hold a hearing on an important issue shouldn't make us the object of ridicule. In my opinion, the ridicule should be placed in two places: first, at the feet of Republicans who are so afraid to discuss ideas and facts that they try to sabotage our efforts to do so; and second, on Dana Milbank and the Washington Post, who do not feel the need to give serious coverage on a serious hearing about a serious matter - whether more than 1700 Americans have died because of a deliberate lie. Milbank may disagree, but the Post certainly owed its readers some coverage of that viewpoint.

Rep. Tom Davis (R-VA) has fired a shot across the bow of national security whistleblowers who are reporting on how the Bush adminisration is dismantling analyst by analyst and official by official our national security capabilities. Davis used Nazi-style GOP parliamentary tactics, recently pioneered by House Judiciary Committee Chairman James Sensenbrenner (R-WI), to scuttle a June 16 House Government Reform Committee markup on whistleblower protection legislation (H.R. 1317). Davis made his move after members of the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition, a new organization dedicated to stronger government accountability through improved whistleblower protections, said they would show up at the House to protest Davis's decision not to support the legislation. A number of employees at the CIA, FBI, NSA, DIA, and other agencies lost their security clearances, were outright fired, or were threatened with sanctions for reporting on malfeasance and incompetence within the US Intelligence Community.

The Government of the United States of America is now of, by and for the Corporations. These are the same corporations, the Corporatocracy, to whom the people of the USA have bequeathed a literal and legal eternal life, while at the same time allowing their own corporate "best interests" to over-ride the needs and interests of the very citizens who made all that largess possible.

Critics contend that such policies blur the line between government propaganda and legitimate reporting, and the Government Accountability Office described the prepackaged news reports as "covert propaganda" if the government agency doesn't clearly identify its role in the production of the report.

But the other reports mention the criticism of CAFTA only briefly or not at all, and instead offer a positive spin on the trade agreement. For instance, in a radio report from April, Johanns said, "If there was ever an agreement that was good for agriculture, this is it."

Rep. C.L. "Butch" Otter, Idaho Republican, said the framers of the Constitution would have opposed going as far as Congress did with the Patriot Act.

"They didn't intend for the lawyers to rule this country. Obviously, when we adopted the Patriot Act 46 days after 9/11, the lawyers won," he said.

Volcker, caught up in a number of potential conflict-of-interests after his Inquiry appointment last year, was on the Leadership Council of the Emergency Coalition for U.S. Financial Support of the United Nations, canadafreeopress.com has discovered.

Founded in early 1997, the Emergency Coalition is a diverse, bipartisan coalition of former high-ranking government officials, including all of the former U.S. Secretaries of State, and more than 110 business, labor, civic, faith-based and humanitarian organizations that have joined together to urge full payment of U.S. legal obligations to the United Nations.

A Republican president can often enact a more liberal agenda than a Democrat could because many Republicans in Congress are more loyal to party than to principle.

Over the past few generations, congressional Democrats could customarily be relied upon to promote a liberal agenda while their Republican counterparts developed the reputation of being stalwart opponents of our nation's slide into big government and internationalism. The record shows, however, that during the past 50 years, congressional Republicans have exhibited such opposition only when....

We pause a moment to ponder two questions: How can people who earn less money afford more expensive houses? And how is it possible that the world’s most flexible, dynamic and successful economy actually makes its typical citizens poorer over a quarter of a century? We ask both questions out of mischief, not curiosity. We already know the answers: They can’t and it isn’t.

The basic function of government is to protect person and property, but all too often government does just the opposite. In their zeal to protect us from financial fraud, government officials recently engaged in a series of actions that have cost tens of thousands of innocent people their jobs, reduced U.S. international competitiveness, and destroyed more than $1 trillion in value for American shareholders.

We will lose the war in Iraq, whether in five years time or 50. The longer the postponement, the more costly the delay. We do not know the enemy; we do not know our own history; we do not know ourselves. That collective ignorance may lead to knowledge one day, a knowledge too painful to accept at the present, but we're fated to learn some fragments of it one day in the future, more than a few painful lessons.

All of these objections apply equally to CAFTA, as do the outright deceptions used to lure the U.S. into these internationalist entanglements. Even the “Free Trade” label is misleading. As with NAFTA before it, the CAFTA pact would NOT promote Free Trade but rather highly regulated trade, subject to the rules of the WTO — which has already proven itself to be biased against and hostile toward American interests.

The world is simultaneously awash in opportunity and tragedy. Those of us who possess much have moral responsibilities to those who possess little. But massive new international schemes incorporating vast new resource transfers are a discredited throwback to the past rather than a sophisticated vision for the future.

The best, most creative and efficacious aid is privately conceived, raised, and provided. The poor will always be with us. But people willing to give both generously and thoughtfully can reduce the number of the poor in the future.

For nearly two years now, Ottawa has been quietly negotiating a far-reaching military cooperation agreement, which allows the US Military to cross the border and deploy troops anywhere in Canada, in our provinces, as well station American warships in Canadian territorial waters. This redesign of Canada's defense system is being discussed behind closed doors, not in Canada, but at the Peterson Air Force base in Colorado, at the headquarters of US Northern Command (NORTHCOM).

E.J. Dionne had a fascinating column yesterday hinting that the latest intrigue of the Bush-Rove team to preserve the GOP's dominance in 2008 and beyond might be a McCain Presidential run in 2008. The price for the Bush team's support for McCain in the wide-open GOP nominating process in 2008 would be for McCain to put Florida Governor Jeb Bush on the ticket as the VP nominee. This would potentially set up Bush to run on his own in 2012, whether McCain won or lost in 2008. (McCain would be 76 running for re-election in 2012, so he might be a one-termer and might even use a voluntary term limit as a strategy to add to his appeal in 2008.)

Remember the deficits that we rack up now will become debt and our government must finance the interest on that debt. Whom do you think will end up providing the money to meet those debt payments? It will be you and me; worse, it will also be our children and their children. The more spending restraint that we exercise now the cleaner the slate that we can bequeath to our children. Too many elected leaders in both parties in Washington spend the money of our country’s citizens with no thought to the long-term consequences. Our posterity will be the poorer thanks to those in Washington who spend as if there were no tomorrow.

But congressional amnesty agitation is just a symptom of a larger problem. When it comes to immigration, there is a sizeable discrepancy between political elites and the citizens they purport to represent. Nowhere is the gulf more pronounced than on the Right, where rank-and-file conservatives overwhelmingly favor immigration enforcement and reduction while Bush Republicans maintain that the existing, broken system is already too restrictive. Even the Wall Street Journal, long the Right’s bulwark for open borders, has published stories about the issue’s potential to split the GOP.

Do not be deceived into believing that CAFTA is dead. Just before NAFTA was approved in 1993, it was widely reported that the pro-NAFTA forces did not have enough votes.

In the heat of the CAFTA battle this summer, many congressmen will cave-in if they think no one is watching.

Today the Senate Finance Committee began its advisory markup of CAFTA. The House Ways and Means Committee will follow suit tomorrow.

During the thirty day project the Minutemen did a very impressive job of discouraging illegal aliens from invading our country. Desperate reporters who sought to create sensational stories about red-neck vigilantes got no more satisfaction than the legal observers from the ACLU.

... There was a study just released that everybody was waiting for, that was done by the EPI and the ABI (American Bankruptcy Institute). They did it in concert with the National Association of Realtors. What the National Association of Realtors has pointed out is that after looking at the top 100 metropolitan districts in the nation in terms of population size, they found that 63 out of 100 were experiencing a speculative bubble in real estate. They went on to define what the parameters were: that is, prices had to have increased more than 75% in 5 years, interest-only mortgage purchases during the past 5 years had to equal 40% or more of new purchases.

The 1911 break-up of the Standard Oil Trust seems to have come full circle since then, with the same corporate DNA appearing in a handful of oil multi-nationals. A cartel that is alive and well and ready to take effective control of massive reserves of oil and natural gas from the Caspian Sea and other parts of Central Asia. This spectacular multi-trillion dollar feat would only be doable, however, with the aid of a superpower.

Finally, no matter how many people we immigrate into our country, the desperately poor of the Third World grow by 10,000 per hour, 240,000 per day and over 85 million annually. We cannot save them all, but we can destroy our country.

“When it comes to Black people, African American people, Afro-American people—whatever we’re calling ourselves this year, Negro, Colored—there is no party, except the White party,” says Thomas Todd, a Chicago attorney and longtime civil rights activist. “When White people decide they want their own best interest involved, whether they are Democrats or Republicans, they vote their own interests and Black people have got to start doing the same thing. We’ve been putting party politics ahead of the self-interest of Black people.”

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the 22nd amendment to the Constitution. (Introduced in House)
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c109:H.J.RES.24.IH:

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled (two-thirds of each House concurring therein), That the following article is proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years after the date of its submission for ratification:

`Article --

`The twenty-second article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is repealed.'.

A government that lies to the people cannot be the legal government of this land. Make sure that they understand that YOU understand that the Constitution does not allow the government to lie to the people. Calling themselves the government does not make it so if they act unconstitutionally and illegally. The Constitution is the original "Contract with America" and a government that lies stands in clear breach of that contract.

A Republican congressman called for a deadline to pull U.S. troops from Iraq, while some other members of President Bush's party urged on Sunday that his administration come to grips with a persistent insurgency and revamp Iraq policy.

Rep. Walter Jones, a North Carolina conservative, said on ABC's "This Week" that he would offer legislation next week setting a timetable for the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq.

In the rout and humiliation of a European establishment that is committed to open borders and free-trade globalism by a Left-Right coalition, they may be staring at their own future. For that same Left-Right coalition is forming in the United States – against free-trade globalism, CAFTA, open-borders, amnesty for illegal aliens, Social Security reform and American empire.

Populism and nationalism have declared war on globalism.

A House bill to reinstate the draft finally made its way to the Armed Services Committee where a vote is expected only after President Bush decides whether he is for or against conscription.

FOUR MEXICAN DEMANDS

1. The documentation or regularization of Mexicans currently in the United States (3 to 4 million presently in U.S.).
2. Border safety and violence;
3. Permanent visas for Mexicans' and removing Mexico from the country quota or country ceiling category because of the special relationship that exists; and
4. Guest worker programs or temporary worker programs

See, what makes CAFTA even a worse nafka than NAFTA is that it will give foreign multinationals greater legal rights than we citizens have in our own country. It will actually allow these corporations to overrule our laws, whether they are national, state, or local, whenever US law happens to knock heads with their profit plans.

A panel set up by the Counsel on Foreign Relations wants Americans to stop thinking of themselves as United States citizens and to think of themselves as just North Americans. The panel has published a report called “Building a North American Community” in which it proposes a single common border around the three countries.

In reality, this is just another salvo in the battle to create an aura of inevitability around the idea of globalization. The destruction of borders for the purpose of moving cheap labor is only one facet of this new deity.

I did see one or the other of those recent heavy-duty essays posted at The Old Right, White Survival Forum, White Alert and White Revolution, but those are among the more hard-core sites you will find.

True conservatives, sometimes called PaleoConservatives, have learned the hard way - through bitter experience.

The fact is, the Bush administration has created a gulag, as Amnesty International recently charged. Certainly it is not on the scale of Stalin's, but a series of prisons in Cuba, Iraq, Afghanistan and in other, hidden places where people are held indefinitely without charges and without access to even humanitarian organizations can be fairly called gulags.

But a new look at Beliefnet's popular "Twelve Tribes" analysis shows something surprising: the religious left is just about the same size as the religious right.

The political awakening of the Religious Left carries several implications for the Democratic Party. For one thing, Democratic leaders cannot view the party as primarily secular. Add up the numbers of the Religious Left, Democratic-voting Latino Christians, Black Protestants, and the modest support from conservative Christians and you have 52% of Kerry's vote. Secular voters did vote in record numbers for Kerry but only accounted for 16% percent of his vote.

THE INTERNATIONAL FORECASTER editor Bob Chapman writes: Rumors have been circulating in Washington for the last year that a coup d’etat against George W. Bush and the neocons is being seriously contemplated in certain circles.

Within the military, because of the non-traditional use of the military and among high-level businessmen who see Bush as a disaster for American business ... especially in foreign trade.

The economic evidence is clear: neither the US nor Europe needs immigration. It continues because it benefits powerful special interests, and because it feeds into pathological elite anti-racism on both sides of the Atlantic.

Watergate involved two conspiracies. The first, now ancient history, was the botched cover-up of a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters, in which President Nixon was briefly complicit. But we now know there was a far larger and more successful conspiracy involving the FBI's No. 2, to rifle confidential files, to help the Washington Post bring down a president who had topped its enemies list since Joe McCarthy had gone to his grave.

That Deep Throat should turn out to be Mark Felt is not the most welcome news at the Washington Post. The paper would have much preferred a crypto-liberal such as Leonard Garment in the role (assuming that Adam Sandler wasn't available). Almost anyone, in other words, would have been better than the guy responsible for supervising the FBI's infamous COINTELPRO operations during the 1960s.

The following essay is adapted from remarks made at a Capitol Hill briefing on Iraq: The Logic of Withdrawal sponsored by the Institute for Policy Studies and Foreign Policy In Focus. The event was held two days before the 30 th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War.

Mencken understood what he called this "carnival of buncombe" as well as anyone has. Were he around today, I suspect he would still be trying to awaken the "boobeoisie" to the one-party nature of our ostensible two-party political system. While it is considered impolite (indeed, "impolitic") to look behind the curtains by which magicians carry out their illusions over us, we might nonetheless find it useful to ask this question: from what source arise the candidates for major offices from which we are to make our selection?

Diebold's computer program is written in ABO basic, a new language written by Diebold. "They made up their own computer language!" Harris said. "Which is a flat-out violation of all FEC standards. It's completely against federal law not to use standard language."

It is estimated the federal cost of incarcerating criminal aliens - Bureau of Prison's cost to incarcerate criminals and reimbursements to state and local governments under SCAAP --totaled approximately $5.8 billion for calendar years 2001 through 2004. BOP's cost to incarcerate criminal aliens rose from about $950 million in 2001 to about $1.2 billion in 2004 - a 14 percent increase. Federal reimbursements for incarcerating criminal aliens in state prisons and local jails declined from $550 million in 2001 to $280 million in 2004, in a large part due to a reduction in congressional appropriations. At the state level, the 50 states received reimbursement for incarcerating about 77,000 criminal aliens in fiscal year 2002 and 47 states received reimbursement for incarcerating about 74,000 in fiscal year 2003.

Both parties do elect members who aren’t representative of their constituencies. The difference is that while the deviations of elected Republicans are slight, the deviations of elected Democrats are extreme (or so we’d hope is the case). Republicans elected Jim Jeffords and got an “Independent.” They elected Lincoln Chafee and got a Democrat. They elected John McCain and got a psychotic with an interminable identity crisis.

Northrop Grumman has started construction of its X-47B Joint Unmanned Combat Air Systems (J-UCAS) aircraft, the world's first unmanned surveillance attack aircraft that can operate from both land bases and aircraft carriers.

CAFTA means more government! Like the UN, NAFTA, and the WTO, it represents another stone in the foundation of a global government system. Most Americans already understand they are governed by largely unaccountable forces in Washington, yet now they face having their domestic laws influenced by bureaucrats in Brussels, Zurich, or Mexico City.

He could have used good means to pursue his noble objective: He could have met with the president, or if we had refused to see him, he could have held a press conference to announce what the bad guys in the Nixon White House were doing. He would have been well within his rights.

All of us have to be responsible for what we did ourselves. What I am concerned about is how, in the eyes of many people, Mark Felt’s end justified his means.

Economists at the University of California who have looked at the current job scene and calculated which of those jobs can be done elsewhere for less suggests that nearly one in nine of all US jobs are vulnerable to being outsourced. That’s a staggering 14 million white-collar jobs. The 2004 UC report predicts that, by 2015, approximately 3.5 million white-collar jobs representing $151 million in wages will move overseas. By the end of this year, the report sees 830,000 jobs leaving.

CAFTA would reward that movement in the long run by undermining our economy and accelerating the amalgamation of our nation with the region. CAFTA is just a preliminary installment in a larger plan to consolidate the hemisphere in a European Union-style economic and political bloc. The self-styled Metternichs at the CSP would have us enact CAFTA for the supposed purpose of battling Latin America’s Marxist movement – but enacting the agreement would mean dragging down our economy and eventual merger with the region’s Marxist regimes.

The carefully staged event illustrates how far it has gone from being guardian of the public interest to being an instrument of mass deception and social control. In the New World Order, opportunists and traitors like Bob Woodward and Mark Felt are "heroes" while our defenders like Richard Nixon are defamed.

George Orwell famously said that "he who controls the past controls the future."
If the best values of Western Civilization are to survive, historical truth clearly is something we must struggle to uphold.

Offshore outsourcing is dismantling the ladders of America's fabled upward mobility. The US labor force already has one foot in the third world. By 2024 the US will be a has-been country.

"The movement" however, needs its hard-core and its fellow travelers. Need I remind my fellow members that the Conservative movement may be able to elect Republicans but has failed or changed position on every domestic issue other than lowering income tax rates. Abortion, the size of government, the character of the people, obscentity laws, medicare, and on and on. Republicans have even made the situation worse at times - for instance the Prescription Drug Act passed by our "RedState government"

But enough complaining. I hope that, if anyone even finds my diary on this site - it offers a fuller picture of "traditionalists" or paleoconservatives to the broader movement. I can admit that many on my side of the tent are noisy and curmudgeonly, prone to speak the Jeremiad most conservatives wish not to hear.

We're not unpatriotic, and we have good claims on the deepest conservative roots - in American history and in Western Christendom generally.

There were three casualties at the ceremony honoring Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist last Wednesday night—two protesters and the truth about immigration in America.

And so it turns out that the two most famous investigative reporters of all time were a pair of stenographers for an FBI hack who was ratting out President Nixon for passing him over as director.

The US avoided a serious recession in 2001 by letting the consumer expand his spending by borrowing. We now have more debt than ever, not only internationally as described above, but also for government, and for mortgages. If foreigners were to consider other options for holding these dollars, there could be a glut of dollars in the world that would drive the exchange rate downward and prices in the US upward. If inflation rises, US interest rates could rise, and many parts of the economy could turn down, like housing, stocks and consumer spending. Because of the size of the amounts involved, and the speed of today’s currency and interest rate markets, the shift could move very fast in a downward spiral.

These border governors, including this nincompoop we have here in California, Arnold Schwarzenegger need to hear the wrath of the people to get this job done and Congress needs to be voted out for their failure to stop this invasion decades ago. If the situation is allowed to continue to deteriorate, I predict there will be even more crime and eventually out breaks of racial wars in this country which could have been prevented.

Let's get real. The political battle between conservatives and liberals is no longer an issue worth discussing. Except for rhetoric, there is little substantive difference between them. The hype, scare tactics, and fear mongering used by both sides is merely for the purpose of raising money and electing people to positions of power. However, neither side has any real plans to change public policy or the overall direction of the country.

A German Bilderberg insider said the EC is in trouble for the same reason, he hopes, that the Free Trade Area of the Americas may fail: “outsourcing” of jobs.

International financiers, along with heads of state and high officials of government in the United States and Europe, are the main muscle of Bilderberg. As the European Union expanded, jobs were shipped to the new memberstates to take advantage of cheap labor—just as NAFTA
affected the United States.

While the FBI's COINTELPRO became known in 1971, the extent of Hoover's interference with American democracy was not known for years. Mark Felt was a Hoover devotee who worked on these very COINTELPRO operations, but he did not feel the need to leak documents on the damage done to American democracy by these illegal campaigns.

As a Friendship -- and the Watergate Story -- Developed, Source's Motives Remained a Mystery to Woodward

Furthermore, public outrage has scared two of the seven, Mike Dewine of Ohio and Lindsay Graham of South Carolina, into backtracking. Both are now attempting to deflect anger from the conservative grassroots with conciliatory, albeit empty, rhetoric. The notion that America could be inspired by such unprincipled and unstable characters now seems grimly comical.

In recent years the courts have become smug in their knowledge that the public has no redress to their activist decisions. But now conservatives have a target, which they can hold accountable to such anger. With each ensuing bad decision, Republican and conservative anger will be rekindled against the seven who perpetuated the outrage.

The only way Americans continue living in the style to which they've become accustomed is by mortgaging the inflated value of their own tangible homes...and running public sector deficits – both are forms of stealing from the future. Only an old man with nothing more to prove would say so, but the U.S. economy in 2005 has become what Warren Buffett calls "Squanderville." Americans, he says, are becoming "sharecroppers," in an "ownership" society.

The mega-issue here, then, is: Who shall rule us? Shall it be unelected Supreme Court justices? Or elected legislators we can replace at election time? Is America a judicial dictatorship or a constitutional republic?

If Frist and President Bush cannot break up the McCain Seven and bring two of those senators back to supporting majority rule, the game is up. As Barry Goldwater used to say, "It's as simple as that.

To determine a Biblical worldview, Barna used the following 8 point criteria:

*Believing that absolute moral truths exist.
*Such truths are defined by the Bible.
*Jesus Christ lived a sinless life.
*God is the all-knowing, all-powerful Creator and still rules today.
*Salvation is a gift of God and cannot be earned.
*Christians have a responsibility to share their faith in Christ.
*Satan is real.
*The Bible is accurate in all its teachings.

Now that Felt has identified himself as Deep Throat in Vanity Fair, this young man's "idiot" history teacher owes him a retroactive A+. Showing considerable enterprise, he, according to 1999 New York press accounts, heavily footnoted his 20-page term paper, copyrighted it, attached a two-page bibliography, and went to the trouble of subjecting All the President's Men to rigorous textual analysis, noting that Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein had identified their source at one point as My Friend, the initials of Felt's name.

Under the cloak of secrecy imparted by use of military code names, the American administration has been taking a big - and dangerous - step that will lead to the transformation of the nuclear bomb into a legitimate weapon for waging war.

The nuclear policy that the Bush administration continues to formulate, including plans for a preemptive nuclear strike against states that do not possess such weapons and the development of new nuclear weapons - is a recipe for disaster. It is a policy that blurs the line between conventional and nuclear war.
