We've been told by the US media that Bush has overwhelming
support, and dissent, since it has not been given a voice in the
media, apparently doesn't exist.
Well, activist and film-maker Michael Moore ("Roger & Me") has
just released a book called "Stupid White Men", that is, to say the
least, not supportive of the current Bush dynasty. And guess what?
The book shot up to #3 on the NY Times bestseller list, (#1 on
Amazon),is flying off the shelves, and Moore is being mobbed by standing
room only crowds on his current N. Cal speaking and book tour. He
says the idea that no one cares and everyone is supportive of Queen
George is pure myth. Here is his report from the road.

Keeping us dissillusioned, frightened, and isolated is the plan. And
convincing us that if we disagree with the official version of reality, we
are probably alone.
Make no mistake, this administration is using the Sept 11 tragedy as,
in Bush's words, "an opportunity" to take control, to enrich the rich,
and to inflict military superiority over the rest of the planet. Scary things
are happening. For instance, a court just ruled that it is okay for
authorities to drug anyone held in custody for any reason (not convicted
of a crime, just accused), and they can drug them with anything they
want, for as long as they want!!! This link isn't from some left-wing
conspiracy group, it's from the Association of American Physicians
and Surgeons.

As long as I am on a rant, a couple more nuggets of info.
In 1998, intelligence officials from another country (I think it was
Puerto Rico) told the FBI they had intercepted information that some
group was planning on using commercial jetliners as missiles to crash
into US buildings. They knew, yet it happened.
Also, before the attacks, Gary Hart was a member of a senate
appointed committee whose mission was to explore the US'
vulnerability to attack. The committee's findings: this type of attack
was highly possible, and steps should be taken immediately to
prevent it. The report was ignored dispite the committee's urgent
appeal to Congress to take it seriously.
And Bush wants you to go shopping.
