"No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power governments and tyrants and dictators cannot stand. The Centauri learned this once. We will teach it to them again. Though take a thousand years, WE WILL BE FREE."
Ambassador G'Kar (Andrea Katsulas) in Babylon 5, episode 220 "The Long Twilight Struggle"

Waiting to Inhale : The Politics of Medical Marijuana
by Alan W. Bock


Waiting to Inhale, by veteran libertarian journalist Alan Bock, covers the history of medical marijuana (from 1500 B.C.!), the medical controversy over marijuana, the California Prop 215 campaign to legalize medical marijuana, and much more. This is about more than just medical marijuana -- it touches on states' rights, individual liberty, medical freedom and more.

   David Boaz of the Cato Institute says this is "...the only book you'll need on the growing political movement to give individuals access to marijuana for medical purposes." Great, informative and up-to-the-minute reading on one of today's hottest issues, written with a libertarian perspective!

DOJ Asked FBI Translator To Change Pre 9-11 Intercepts (Tom Flocco)
FBI translator Sibel Edmonds was offered a substantial raise and a full time job to encourage her not to go public that she had been asked by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to retranslate and adjust the translations of subject intercepts that had been received before September 11, 2001 by the FBI and CIA, in an apparent attempt by DOJ to conceal the identity of possible American co-conspirators to 9-11.

Is George W. Bush the Antichrist?

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." 
H. L. Mencken

Black Box Voting and www.bigbrother.gov (George Howland, Jr.)
The feds want to know who’s been visiting the Web site of voting watchdog Bev Harris, and they’re likely to get what they want.
Russia Ready to Vaporize the Jewish State (Joe Vialls)
Russia has discreetly invoked MAD again, but this time in the Middle East in direct response to Israeli threats to nuke Iran with submarine-launched American Harpoon missiles. Quietly, Russia hasdeployed its most advanced tactical nuclear missiles and crews to both Syria and Iran, thereby sending an unmistakable diplomatic signal that if Israel attacked Tehran or Damascus with nuclear weapons, Russia would in return instantly and anonymously vaporize the Jewish State. This is not an idle or exaggerated threat.
Did Israel execute the 9-11 act of war against America?
Laura Knight-Jadczyk presents a damning case against both the State of Israel and elements within the American government sympathetic to them. And if Israel is the enemy of America, how many in the government are guilty of treason?

Iraqi Prison Scandal: Routine and not an abberation - Reflects what happens in American prisons
There were no rules, by her account, and there was little training. But the mission was clear. Spec. Sabrina D. Harman, a military police officer who has been charged with abusing detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, said she was assigned to break down prisoners for interrogation. Such physical and sexual abuse of prisoners, similar to what has been uncovered in Iraq, takes place in American prisons with little public knowledge or concern, according to corrections officials, inmates and human rights advocates.

Abuses by U.S. Forces in Afghanistan

11-year-old shoots, kills assailant threatening his grandmother (Gwen O'Brien)
So called "safe storage laws" and "smart-gun technology" would have condemned Sue Gay to death at the hands of a criminal. Her grandson, however, saved her life by using a gun.
18-year-old Wins Right to Vote Without Social Security Registration
Youth refused to supply a Social Security number on his application and was rejected as a voter. Says he does not have a Social Security number, driver's license, or government issued ID card, and never will.
24 U.S. Companies sold weapons to Saddam Hussein
Forget the French. This is where real American boycotts and outrage should be centered. How do we know that Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction? Probably because American companies sold them to him.
9-11 "Suicide Bombers" alive and well (BBC)
The identities of four of the 19 suspects accused of having carried out the attacks are now in doubt. Saudi Arabian pilot Waleed Al Shehri was one of five men that the FBI said had deliberately crashed American Airlines flight 11 into the World Trade Centre on 11 September. His photograph was released, and has since appeared in newspapers and on television around the world.
Anti-stalking laws usually are unable to protect targets (Ellen Sorokin)
Restraining orders against abusers only provide a false sense of security, experts say. When states around the country passed anti-stalking legislation in the 1990s, the new laws were hailed as a long overdue crackdown on abusive spouses, obsessive exes and twisted psychopaths. Today, prosecutors, police officers - and those who are beaten -have a more sobering assessment: The laws rarely work.

California Screaming, Under Government Blows (George Reisman)
The state of California is experiencing a fiasco in its electric power system. The system has repeatedly run near the overload point, necessitating brownouts and threatening rolling blackouts. The problem is, there is still too much regulation, and Governor Davis' threats to nationalize power plants makes California's power problem likely to continue.
Communism's Residual Effects in Germany
A tale of dramatically diffrent lives and development of different ways of thinking.
E-BOMB (Jim Wilson)
In the blink of an eye, electromagnetic bombs could throw civilization back 200 years. And terrorists can build them for $400.

Fluoride, Teeth, and the Atomic Bomb
Fifty years after the United States began adding fluoride to public water supplies to reduce cavities in children’s teeth, declassified documents are shedding new light, revealing a surprising connection between fluoride and the dawning of the nuclear age.
The Free Ride is Over (Scott Carpenter)
Dramatic story about how the Liberals... yes, the LIBERALS, are cutting government to the bone and jettisoning the Welfare State in British Columbia.
Going for Grandma’s House (Michael W. Lynch)
Greedy local governments look to dump granny in the street for casinos, waterfront developments, upscale apartment developments, restaurants and shops. In this case, Viagra maker Pfizer is one of the main culprits.

Gun Laws Are For Everyone But Me
Reckless Senator Dianne Feinstein sweeps crowd with AK-47 while pushing for gun control. Senator accused of hypocrisy because she has a Concealed Carry Permit.
Guard troop numbers faked!!! (Dave Moniz and Jim Drinkard)
Evidence continues to grow that National Guard units across the country are undermanned and have faked their troop level reports to Washington for years in order to protect their flow of federal money and to hide their inability to retain troops.
Guns Fact Sheet
Gun Owners Foundation
Hate-Crime Myth (Deroy Murdock)
If Matthew Shepard had a gun, he would be alive today. The 21-year-old University of Wyoming student was pistol-whipped, tied to a rural fence and left to die on October 7, 1998. But if Shepard were armed, he could have warded off his assailants. Instead, he nearly froze in an open field and died five days later of his injuries and exposure.
I became a felon on my last birthday (Vin Suprynowicz)
"The thugs now reign in Massachusetts," writes an anonymous writer, afraid of prosecution by a terrorist state. "They reign in the statehouse, in the courts, in the media, and in the police. They might as well make us wear special arm bands."
In Home Prayer Forbidden by Connecticut Government
Jewish family told they cannot pray with anyone except family members in their home.
Landgrab Alert - The "Lynn Scarlett" National Park
Farmers, ranchers and other property owners in usually laid back Santa Barbara County, California are having the fight of their life over a proposal that would allow the federal government to condemn their land and turn it into a national park. Looks like another one of Bill Clinton's midnight land grabs, right? Wrong. Blame this one on George W. Bush.

Law and order tyranny (Paul Craig Roberts)
"If you live in Albuquerque, N.M., and you have teenagers who might be inclined to raid your wine, beer or whiskey cupboard while you are away, rent your housing, don't buy. The city council has recently passed a law that lets the city seize your home if it is used for underage drinking."
Leash Gal's Sex Pix (Vincent Morris and Deborah Odin)
Shocking shots of sexcapades involving Pfc. Lynndie England were among the hundreds of X-rated photos and videos from the Abu Ghraib prison scandal shown to lawmakers in a top-secret Capitol conference room.

Legal Ecstasy in Five Years (Kristen Philipkoski)
Ecstasy, or methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), will be available for use with psychotherapy in as little as five years according to one expert.
Make Crime Pay: crime is rational, not random (Dave Kopel and Linda Gorman)
What are the two most ridiculous words in modern political lingo? "Random violence." The theory that violence, like hail and sandstorms, is the result of environmental conditions is popular among those who believe the standard sociological hypothesis that people who commit crimes are sick or somehow socially deformed as a result of our maladjusted society. While this theory is widely believed, it is wrong.
New Monthly Survey Promoted To Replace Census Long Form
Census Bureau Director Kenneth Prewitt already is urging Congress to replace the controversial long form before the next national count with a monthly survey that would provide timelier and more accurate data at the same cost.
New York Times Fabricates Gun Stats
The defensive use of guns, such as preventing murder or theft, is not reported. Additionally,  the press simply has not been critical enough in questioning the numbers they are given by sources such as HCI and the Clinton administration. In a recent case, the press itself now is the source of fraudulent statistics.
New Vaccines Laced With Birth-Control Drugs?
During the early 1990s, the World Health Organization (WHO) has been overseeing massive vaccination campaigns against tetanus in a number of countries. In October 1994, the Comite' Pro Vida de Mexico obtained several vials of the vaccine and had them analyzed by chemists. Some of the vials were found to contain human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), a naturally occurring hormone essential for maintaining a pregnancy.
Send Hans Blix to Nes Ziona - Israelis Use Chemical Gas on Civilians in Gaza (James Brooks)
Some of the victims were demonstrators. Some were children in their homes, trying to get away from the gas seeping under the door. Some were old men walking down the street. One of the victims was a thirteen year-old boy, playing in a schoolyard when a gas canister enveloped him in a cloud of poisonous smoke. We may have to face the possibility that Israel is willfully testing chemical weapons on Palestinians in a new Holocaust.
The Odyssey of Daniel Lopez (Tiffany Bowman)
Pinal County Sheriff's Deputy Daniel Lopez walked up to a door in Maricopa, asking the woman who lived there about a friend he was seeking to arrest, a fact he did not disclose to her. Although he couldn't have known it at the time, his life would probably be altered forever.
The Role of Pakistan's Military Intelligence (ISI) in the September 11 Attacks (Michel Chossudovsky)
Pakistan's chief spy Lt. General Mahmoud Ahmad "was in the US when the attacks occurred." He arrived in the US on the 4th of September, a full week before the attacks. He had meetings at the State Department "after" the attacks on the WTC. But he also had "a regular visit of consultations" with his US counterparts at the CIA and the Pentagon during the week prior to September 11.

Running for the Border (J. M. Kalil)
Mexican nationals can get away with the most heinous crimes in the United States, so long as they make it back to their country before U.S. authorities catch up with them. Refusals to extradite such criminals have turned Mexico into a fugitives paradise.
The Threat from Casper: Real Terrorists or Government Ruse? (F. Tupper Saussy)
Is the government planning a staged right wing terrorist act intending to blame five antitax activists? Is blowing up an IRS building something likely to gain sympathy for the government, or would it unleash a hell of copycat attacks that are real? Written only about a month before 9-11. Some accuse the government of staging 9-11 to get the same effect Saussy is describing,, so even though this never happened, it is interesting reading.
Timothy McVeigh: Mind-Control Subject?
Was Timothy McVeigh an unwitting mind-controlled patsy? David Hoffman thinks so, in an excerpt from his book, "McVeigh: Manchurian Candidate?", successfully banned by the FBI.
Urban warfare: Is Iraq a rehearsal for US hoods? (Mike Davis)
He brags of having “24 confirmed kills” in the initial phase of the brutal U.S. onslaught against the rebel city of 300,000 people. Faced with intransigent popular resistance that recalls the heroic Vietcong defense of Hue in 1968, the Marines have again unleashed indiscriminate terror. According to independent journalists and local medical workers, they have slaughtered at least 200 women and children in the first two weeks of fighting.
Vince Foster was Murdered (Pat Shannan)
"Suicide" was Fixed. "Failure of the Public Trust"

And was he murdered because of it?
