Islam 100 times more likely to be associated with terrorism
WASHINGTON: Reporters are 100 times more likely to associate Islam with
terrorism or militancy than all other faiths combined, an article quoted a
word search on news stories published in major newspapers over the past
decade as concluding.

Liberals don't care Hirsi Ali lied to get asylum in 1992
AMSTERDAM Somali-born MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali may have told more lies about
her past in order to get asylum in the Netherlands in 1992 than she has
previously admitted, news programme Zembla has suggested.
Immigration Minister Rita Verdonk said on Friday that Hirsi Ali need not
worry about facing repercussions for what she did 14 years ago. But she
repeated she would have deported Hirsi Ali if she had been the minister
back in 1992. "I don't like lies," Verdonk said on Friday.
Hirsi Ali shot to fame in 2002 when her criticism of aspects of Islam and
the treatment of women in Muslim societies led to death threats. She joined
the Dutch Liberal Party (VVD) and was elected to parliament in 2003.

9/11: works to Show Footage Of Plane Hitting Pentagon
9/11 skeptics have asked why the government has not released any footage of
the plane from numerous different camera sources in the area.
They argue that physical evidence does not indicate a large commerical
airliner struck the building.
Others contend that Flight 77 was made into a deliberate honey pot to
distract and discredit the 9/11 truth movement.

America on Road to Totalitarianism
President Bush wants Americans to remain in a perpetual state of fear so

Mr. Bush wants ordinary Americans to remain in a perpetual state of fear -

A Silver Lining in Bush's New CIA Pick?
If the Republican Party won't seek to heal itself by reigning in the abuses
of power conducted by the Bush administration, then it clearly demonstrates
that it, as an institution, places partisan politics above constitutionally

of government. And if the Democrats who are in power aren't willing to step
into the void, then perhaps it's time a new generation of Democrats was

Israel and its occupation, directly and indirectly, are the primary

Why did phone-records bill 'disappear'?
Posted May 16, 2006 09:07 AM PST - Category: DICTATORSHIP
Might there be a connection between the apparent "disappearance" of
legislation that would protect private telephone records and news that two
ABC television reporters have been told that their cell-phone calling
patterns are being monitored by the government.
Okay, this callsinto question the claim that the NSA phone records sweep is
only using landlines. If the reporters' cell phones are being monitored,
then obviously all cell phones can be monitored equally easily. And since
cell phones are the primary phone for many people and small businesses now,
it figures that the NSA monitoring would not ignore such a large portino of
the phone-using public.

Germany orders end to press spies
Posted May 16, 2006 09:01 AM PST - Category: DICTATORSHIP
Chancellor Angela Merkel's government has ordered its foreign intelligence
service not to spy on German reporters. The move comes after reports that
the BND agency had kept journalists under surveillance and allegedly paid
others to spy on colleagues to trace leaks.
The defenders of the NSA wiretaps keep assuring us that we have nothing to
fear as long as we are doing nothing wrong. Well, the same applies here.
Governments have nothing to fear from leaks if they are doing nothing
wrong. But here Germany is spying on reporters, and we learned yesterday
that the US Intelligence agencies are monitoring the phones of journalists
to try to find leakers.

would not mind having their private affairs made public, right?
