5/23/03 Street attack stuns visiting doctors Psychiatrists at S.F. convention get dose of reality on streets Members of the nation's largest psychiatric association discovered San Francisco's mentally ill homeless problem up close this week, as they stepped out of their annual convention and were surprised -- some say shocked -- by the legions of people living on the street.

It is hard to reconcile the claim that the US is the world's largest and richest nation when women and children sleep in the alleys and eat out of trash dumpsters.

5/23/03 Terrorists plotted death of Bevin

5/23/03 Why Do They Hate Us? When we ask the question "why do they hate us?" we don’t want a complicated answer. Americans don’t want to hear that we’ve been doing anything wrong.

5/23/03 Left to themselves, the Koreas move closer together

5/23/03 Camera bars Mars to view Earth instead Someone really screwed up on the photo in this story, which is of Mars, not Earth, specifically showing the Olympus Mons region

5/23/03 Who Is Running al-Qaeda? Start by taking a look at the pattern of terrorist incidents, for example. Look at the way in which the Israeli-Palestinian situation, for one, has developed. At virtually every point that promising prospects for peace were on the agenda, with the extremists on both sides being put under control, a new terrorist incident would break out. How convenient for those who never wanted to proceed with the peace process to begin with!

5/23/03 Mossad was running the Palestinian Al Qaeda Are they running them all?

Is "Al Qaeda" the modern incarnation of "Emmanuel Goldstein", the arch-villain manufactured by the state to rule the population with fear? Is it really far-fetched? If one can accept a real terrorist organization willing to kill people for their political aims, is a fake terror organization willing to kill people for their political aims any less possible? Once you accept that there can be one group of people willing to commit acts of terror you must accept that there can be a second group equally willing to commit acts of terror to blame on the first group.

Stop and think for a minute. Do the acts of terror accomplish anything for the group that is blamed for the terror? Does terror achieve their ends, obtain the results they want? Or isn't it obvious that the acts of terror are actually achieving the objectives of those who claim to be the victims of the terror, to gain them sympathy and political alliances? History is full of rulers who used fake terror on their own populations to create consent for their policies.

The US is known to have actually planned for such fake terror to create support for an invasion of Cuba. And, it is now well established that FDR not only allowed the attack on Pearl Harbor to happen, but goaded the Japanese into it to get a reluctant US into WW2.

Then there is the infamous "Lavon Affair" in which Israelis bombed British and American targets and left evidence to frame Arabs. According to ex-Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky, Israel suckered the US into attacking Libya with fake radio messages.

The US told other nations as early as March 2001 of a plan to invade Afghanistan in October 2001. Isn't it interesting that the "terrorists" struck on 9-11, perfectly in time to create the public anger Bush needed to carry out the already-planned already-announced war?

Who is running Al Qaeda? Who benefits from their activities? Bush got his oil war, and Sharon gets a green light to kill Palestinians and steal their land. Who really benefits? That's who is running Al Qaeda.

5/23/03 WHERE'S THE FIRE? The official story of the collapse of the WTC is that there was a raging inferno inside the building that melted the steel. But as these quotes from people on the scene indicate, no such inferno existed.

5/23/03 Bush answers on 9/11 overdue

5/23/03 Powell Says U.S. Has Not Gotten Over Disappointment With French Actions Before Iraq War I suppose that the fact that the French were RIGHT, and that there did need to be more proof of WMDs, doesn't matter, right Colin?

5/23/03 Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Beloved Emperor Declares Victory Over Barbarians

5/23/03 MSNBC actually puts up a poll showing internet responses versus their own polling results. Either the media only polls people without computers, or there is some serious rigging going on.

5/23/03 Congress approves $330 billion in tax cuts, $20 billion in aid for states $20 billion for states, $330 billion for the rich

5/23/03 ''Iraq's free fall'' Let's set aside the fact that the US Government lied about Iraq's WMDs. Other nations that may have or may be acquiring WMDs are going to see how the US treated Iraq and know that getting rid of their WMDs will NOT prevent a US invasion. So from now on, those nations that hate the US that have WMDs will keep them.

5/23/03 VENGEFUL POWELL SLICES FRENCH ROLE Powell is making a big stink to hide the fact that the French were correct to demand more inspections to prove there were WMDs. Powell is reacting with the righteous indignation of a man caught with an ace up each sleeve (not to mention a stolen student paper on the podium). .

5/23/03 Dave Zweifel: Jason Blair isn't the only deceiver As I stated some time ago, the media are pounding on Jason to imply that everyone else can be trusted. They can't. The only think Jason did differently is that he got careless.

5/23/03 BBC documentary exposes Pentagon lies: The staged rescue of Private Jessica Lynch See comment above

5/23/03 Is Iran the next target? IMHO North Korea is next because after the failure to find WMDs in Iraq Bush needs to stomp on North Korea's weapons plants to prove to the world that this all really is about saving the world from nuclear, excuse me, 'nookular', weapons.

5/23/03 Frontpage calls Yale University "Unpatriotic" and "Anti-Semitic" Was that the reason for the bombing, and how quickly it was dropped as a news story?

5/23/03 Expert questions authenticity of al-Qaeda tape How many does it take before you realize that the entire war on terror, 9-11 included, is one big hoax!

5/23/03 Bill Dunphy's tortured defense of Ernst Zündel Veteran investigative reporter Bill Dunphy spent six years probing Canada's white supremacist movement. He has made a study of Ernst Zündel and says that, for all his hate-mongering, Zündel's legal rights should not be denied.

As I have mentioned before, if Zundel is a total wacko, the fastest way to get rid of him is to let him speak publicly and make a total fool of himself, the way the "Planet-X" folks did recently. It is the actions and methods used by those trying to keep Zundel silent that are the strongest proof he may be onto something!

5/23/03 New Report Reveals Half a Million German Civilians Killed by U.S./British forces in Final Weeks of WWII Funny how we were never taught that one in public school.

5/23/03 Mobile labs were for biological weapons, sez Colin. Even though no actual germs are on them. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Given the complete absence of any seals and special handling devices for hazardous materials, those trucks look like some moonshiners' portable stills or micro-breweries to me.

5/22/03 An Open Letter to Lieutenant Layne McDowell After the Dixie Chicks decided to do the unholy - express shame - one of our brave and bold fired off a letter to them talking about freedom of speech while simultaneously declaring his intent to participate in censorship.

5/22/03 Could Columbia Have Been Saved? This discussion should have happened during the flight, BEFORE re-entry. The only reason to talk about it now is to be able to announce that there is nothing they could have done anyway, to get off the hook for not even trying. Note that this article talks about what they could have used that was on the shuttle, but fails to mention some embarrassing facts, like the NASA budget cuts that specifically targeted safety systems, and the failure to include in the payload (again because of budget) items like one EVA suit, and the remote manipulator arm with its cameras in the tip that could have inspected the wing. Also not mentioned is that a fully fueled are prepared Progress rocket was already on the pad to bring supplies to the ISS, a rocket that could have been reloaded and sent to the Columbia instead in the time between Columbia's launch and re-entry. Any "Monday morning quarterbacking" being done now is purely to be able to shrug NASA's shoulders and claim there was nothing they could have done anyway. Like I mentioned on the C-Span interview, I'll bet Jim Lovell is glad the current NASA management wasn't around during Apollo 13.

5/22/03 'Chatter' about possible attacks said to be of doubtful credibility According to ex-Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky, Israel tricked the US into bombing Libya by broadcasting fake radio traffic where they knew the US would intercept it. It worked so well do you really think the Mossad has quit playing those same games to get the US to bomb Israel's enemies?
