Are Conservatives Naïve or Just Plain Stupid?
Thursday, March 31 @ 17:55:47 CST by myoung (27 reads) | | Are Conservatives Naïve or Just Plain Stupid?
by Laurence M. Vance
Conservatives who think for a minute that if President Bush were given a line item veto then he would suddenly turn into a fiscal conservative and rein in Congressional spending are naïve or just plain stupid. As I pointed out soon after Bush’s inauguration in 2005 in my article "Those Bush Vetoes," the president did not veto a single bill during his first term in office. The last president who did not veto any bills was James Garfield .................

FBI Probe into Leaked Secrets Takes aim at AIPAC
Sunday, March 27 @ 16:20:19 CST by myoung (19 reads) | | FBI probe into leaked secrets takes aim at AIPAC
By Nathan Guttman
Haaretz
WASHINGTON - Pentagon analyst Larry Franklin was reinstated a few weeks ago, after sitting at home for half a year and being barred from returning to his job on the Iranian desk in the Department of Defense's policy division. Franklin was at the center of a lengthy FBI investigation after suspicions arose that he transfered classified information about U.S. policy on Iran to members of the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee).
In the seven months since the affair made headlines on the CBS evening news, the investigation has been ...............

Bush Tort Reform: Clemency For Executive Killers
Monday, February 21 @ 11:17:56 CST by myoung (37 reads) | | Bush Tort Reform: Clemency For Executive Killers
By Greg Palast
It's s great day for the Eichmanns of corporate America. President Bush minutes ago signed the ill-named 'tort reform' bill into law, limiting class action suits. Doubtless, Ken Lay, former Enron CEO, is grinning as are the corporate suite killers at drug maker Merck who are now safer from the widows and orphans of Vioxx victims. Closing the doors of justice to the ruined and wrecked families of boardroom bad guys is nothing less than executive clemency for executive executioners............

American Creed: Why Early Americans Loved to Kill
Sunday, January 30 @ 23:11:21 CST by myoung (54 reads) | | American Creed
By Ilana Mercer
In 1843, 91-year-old Capt. Levi Preston was asked by a young historian why he had fought in the American Revolution. Was it the Stamp Act, the Tea Act, perhaps the treatises of John Locke? “No, sirree,” the captain countered. He had not seen any stamps, sipped any tea, or read anything other than the Bible, the catechism, and Watts’s Psalms. “What we meant in going for those Redcoats was this: we always have been free and ..........

Scott Horton Interview (Chair of International Law NY Bar) RE: Gonzales Torture
Wednesday, January 26 @ 10:54:11 CST by myoung (60 reads) | | EIR: Scott, the most famous of the Gonzales memos, is that of Jan. 25, 2002, which talks about the war on terrorism being a new kind of a war, and that this renders provisions of the Geneva Conventions obsolete, and so forth and so on. Is this argument—that this is "a new kind of a war"—actually a new argument? Or, is this a rather old argument?
Horton: It's an absurd argument, actually. Only a person with very little background in history could make such an argument. The major launching point for modern international humanitarian law, is the 1907 Hague Convention. And, at the time that Convention was being negotiated and was being drafted, the United States and Europe were in the midst of a wave of terrorism, which people at the time said was "completely unprecedented"! Which people said, had "never occurred before in human history!"—and, of course, that was principally the Anarchist movement.

Codebreaker Unlocks 3,000 Secret Names of US Military Vocabulary
Monday, January 24 @ 22:19:18 CST by myoung (127 reads) | | Codebreaker Unlocks 3,000 Secrets Names of US Military Vocabulary
By Rupert Cornwell in Washington
The Independent
If you had heard of "Power Geyser", "Titrant Ranger", "Toychest" or "Barracuda" before today, you were privy to the innermost workings of the US defence establishment. Now, however, those secrets are being exposed to general scrutiny for the first time.
In a remarkable book to be published this week, William Arkin, a former intelligence officer and analyst, lists and defines 3,000 codenames for military and national security plans past and present, several of them involving Britain and many of them still classified.

George Monbiot correctly observed in his commentary, A Televisual Fantasy, Americans do not live in a free society, they live in a corporate society. Simply put, there can be no real democracy if information is controlled, manipulated and censored.
The corporate decision to censor critical reporting is pushing millions of viewers off their TVs and on to their computers, which is ultimately bad for advertisers and business, and great for website owners, especially liberal website owners. ....

Under the Sea: Email From Grounded Submarine USS San Francisco
Monday, January 17 @ 09:36:19 CST by myoung (298 reads) | | Navy Sub Hit Under Sea Mountain Not on Its Charts
‘Everything Went Flying’
Editor’s Note: This is an email sent by a chief petty officer onboard the nuclear attack submarine USS San Francisco describing the grounding incident that killed one crewman and injured several dozen others. The email has been widely circulated within the U.S. Navy Submarine Service and has been provided to DefenseWatch:
To All,
I thought that I would put out a note since a lot of you have been calling and writing to find out how things are and if I’m OK and what happened. If you hadn’t heard, my boat hit a uncharted submerged sea mount at the highest speed we can go at about 500 ft. below the surface. There were about 30 of us that were seriously hurt and, unfortunately, one of my shipmates didn’t make it.
First off, I am OK. I am pretty beat up .....

At the beginning of 2005, for the first time ever, the White House released details about who receives money under the "faith-based" grant program. The Associated Press was given a state-by-state list of recipients, which they presented as a clickable map of the US that leads to 52 separate Acrobat files [here]. For ease of reference, The Memory Hole is presenting this previously unavailable data in HTML format (below) and as a single, consolidated Acrobat file [here].

US Military Contract: How Much Legal Pain Can be Used w/ Pulsed Energy
Sunday, January 16 @ 23:15:47 CST by myoung (443 reads) | | US Military Contract: How Much Legal Pain: Can be Used with Pulsed Energy Projectiles
The Memory Hole
In this contract under the Naval Research Center (a part of the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program), the University of Florida is studying the "Sensory Consequences of Electromagentic Pulses Emitted by Laser Induced Plasmas." In other words, how much pain can be induced by these directed energy weapons without causing physical damage?
The document has a fairly high level of redaction, including - unbelievably - almost half of its bibliography. Still, it reveals some interesting things, including a detailed look at inducing agony by directly activating the skin's receptors that encode pain without means of heat, chemicals, or physical contact.
Thanks go to Edward Hammond of the Sunshine Project for unearthing this document and letting The Memory Hole post it............

“Those who are willing to allow the government to establish a Soviet-style internal passport system because they think it will make us safer are terribly mistaken. Subjecting every citizen to surveillance and screening points actually will make us less safe, not in the least because it will divert resources away from tracking and apprehending terrorists and deploy them against innocent Americans! ..........

Is Boeing the Enron of the U.S. Air Force?
Thursday, December 16 @ 10:55:00 CST by myoung (38 reads) | | Is Boeing the Enron of the U.S. Air Force?
By Leslie Wayne
The New York Times
Heads roll as web of cozy deals unravels
With its aura of superiority, both in the skies and in the halls of Congress, the U.S. Air Force has long been the darling of Washington lawmakers. But now, it is caught in a growing scandal involving billions of dollars in weapon systems that Pentagon officials had once tried to dismiss as the wayward actions of a single disgraced employee.
The scandal has tarnished the air force and led to a shake-up in its top ranks. James Roche, secretary of the air force and once a rising star at the Pentagon, has resigned under a cloud and will leave in January. As a parting shot, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, John Warner, a Republican from Virginia, said it was in the "best interest" of the air force that Roche and his top aide, Marvin Sambur, leave their jobs.
On top of that ...........

US becomes net food importer for first time in nearly 50 years
By Alan Guebert,
Peoria Journal Star
For nearly two years, U.S. farmers and ranchers watched as the second shoe grew bigger and bigger.
On Nov. 22, it officially dropped. According to U.S. Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service estimates released that day, 2005 will be the first year in nearly 50 that America will not turn an agricultural trade surplus.
The dubious milestone was met with odd silence at USDA. Odd because ................
