POPSBush to Veto bill to bar waterboarding He says that, sensory deprivation and other unnamed 'Techniques' are essential tools in the war on terror. The talk of terror exists for the sake of the 'Patriot' Act 1-2 I can't find any other word but Evil.

POPSStingray beats burgers any day
I know what they mean. Remember home cook food? No? Anything made at home beats takeaway hands down. For a start you know exactly what goes into it. Second you can choose your own ingredients, and cook what you feel like. People forget how when the Australian Aboriginals lived off the land there was an almost limitless variety of foods, that could be gathered in different seasons, They managed to survive this way for around 80,000 years. of course many of their traditional sources have become limited or endangered, and the advent of 'civilization' has meant much of this traditional knowledge is being lost. There is a man named Major (retired Army)Les Hiddins, also known as the 'Bush Tucker Man' who has written several books about Australian Native foods still in the bush. They are big books, with hundreds of examples and have photographs and locations, but as Australia is becoming more and more mined, fished and cultivated more and more sources are disappearing.

POPSThe US is its Own Terrorist I wrote this August 01, 2006. How appropriate now after Bush's State of the Union. Please see .... http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/FA485DF5-5A4D-4186-BB58-BA93A0C85386/

POPSBush Budget Would bring Record Deficit Just look where the money is going. It makes me sick. It would be nice if it was his money. If the Democrats win next year, they will be stuck with the bad debt. Everyone will pay - But the Republicans. Where is the money going? Through the laundry, into the pockets of those at the top. We know who Many are, But there are many more Rich Cowards who stay hidden behind iron gates, with Bunkers ready to scurry into where things get out of control. And they will. History will judge them, but the people will suffer. Very little of it seems to be going towards the general public. It's being shipped overseas through the likes of Haliburton. Dick Cheney's Pet Company. Bush has declared WAR on the American People. And his cronies are laughing all the way to the Federal Reserve.

POPSREALITY CHECK! There is a frightening new global trend of denial... Europeans think that they don't need to limit fishing... Car companies don't think they need to improve fuel economy standards... Bush thinks he can increase spending and cut taxes at the same time... Jingoists think we are winning the war in Iraq... Democrats think Hillary Clinton has enough experience to win an election... Polluters think that Global Warming won't really happen... Evangelicals think Jesus is coming back soon... Fundamentalists think they can win the war against modernity... The truth is: we're stuck with this world. The rules DO apply. No free passes. You have to face the music sometime. We must choose realism over comfortable delusion. Unfortunately, for now, wistful thinking will rule the day until we let it all collapse around us. Then we'll stand there scratching our heads saying: How could this happen?

POPSEXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!
I launched a new project today: Political Action News and this clip, above, is the lead item in the one-page web. Other stories (all just one paragraph or two, with link to major news source) are: -- Hybrid Progress at Auto Show -- White House erases email evidence -- This week's top (USA) election events -- US Marine on the Run: Rape & Murder? -- Federal Reserve & Corporate Bank Robbery -- Israeli-Palestinian Violence Grows Worse and a regular feature/link, changing weekly (like the news) is: 'This Weeks' Comic Surprise' and the first ''comic surprise is: The New Halliburton/Bush Coins (a hilariously YouTube type video, shown on MSNBC Countdown last night) Lots of pictures, each worth a thousand words. A prime emphasis is not to bull*shit. Mainstream media doesn't cut to the core; it's vague and uncommitted; it doesn't call a spade a spade. But I do. 4sure. Tell your Ma. Tell your Pa. Tell your clippers and friends. It's worth a bookmark, IMHO. Clipmarks

POPSBush Exempts Navy from Environmental Law. A federal Judge in Los Angeles issued a preliminary injunction requiring a 12 mile no-sonar-zone. Bush does not have the power to overturn a court injunction, but that doesn't bother him, he's going to appeal in San Francisco. ( He knows more people there)

POPSImpeachment? Why not? I'll tell you why! AHHH, HELL! *SLAPS OWN HEAD* I can’t be the first to think this–The reason the Dem Leadership doesn’t want to Impeach is that they really WANT TO KEEP THE EXECUTIVE POWERS FOR THE NEXT PRESIDENT, most likely a Democrat! With a powerful corporate puppet in the WH, the corporate bosses can keep the stranglehold on the people in perpetuity, for Beevis and Butthead sake!!!

POPSKucinich brother dead, send cards please according to the ACLU, that if they did not pass the Patriot Act blind, he (Bush) would publicly characterize them as “Soft on terror”. No wonder so many of them caved. Not only the threat to their careers were at stake, but anthrax going around at that very moment is no joke to deal with . Hmmmm….could this explain some of the reason why our Congress is so passive and permissive? Kucinich was not one of those “Lame” people. He read the text of the 320+ page bill in 48 hours, and posted a note to his website: “I took an oath to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution. I will vote no”.

POPSPanel threatens to subpoena CIA Oficers The CIA have agreed to provide documents regarding the destruction of the interrogation tapes. They'll be subpoenaed if they don't. Seems a bit pointless. The Administration want a delay because they want to finish their investigation first. If there's any more evidence, they want to make sure they find it before anyone else.

POPS$700 billion defense policy bill passes Passed yesterday. Almost no mention of it. All efforts to halt or limit the war deleted. News report confusing. The leaders of the Democratic Party appear to believe, as others have suggested, that there best way to win the most in the 2008 elections is to NOT do anything to oppose the war -- because that might backfire against them. Yet, take advantage of the fact there IS strong anti-war feelings that will hurt the Republican Party. (With an assumption that the anti-war "lefties & liberals," have no choice but to vote for them anyhow; since there is no way the "lefties & liberals" would vote Republican. This COULD BE very astute, and the way candidate/Senator Hillary Clinton would like the most, she being a "centralist," and not wanting to be labeled "lefty or liberal." Those who die between now and then are dying for politics 2008. Also in today's news: Obama was a drug dealer.

POPSC.I.A. Destroyed tapes despite court orders It's no surprise that the CIA destroyed any 'evidence' of torture, but they were a bit late, the news was already out. Do they really think no-one else managed to get a copy? They may be able to discredit the detainees stories in the mainstream media, but people are starting to find the grape vine far more reliable.

POPSJustices weigh detainee rights They are not being held under a legal precedent. They are being held under a legal technicality. Cuba isn't U.S. soil. A U.S. embassy in any country is considered to be U.S. soil. If they claim Authority, they must also be held to their own authority, which includes the constitution, and that Guantanamo bay is as de facto US, as any other foreign embassy.

POPSUS, Iraq deal sees long term US prescence Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Malikai said there have, since 1990, been UN restrictions that have imposed on the leadership of Iraq as 'punishment' for the invasion of Kuwait, that need to be lifted, before the international forces mandate could be renewed. Imposed on the Leadership in 1990? A lot has changed in then. So why are the United Nations suddenly supposed to be calling the shots? Seems like so-one will be comig home, the name will just change from being Troops-To security forces.

POPSHouse passes $50Billion Iraq withdrawal bill The Administration says "The votes put interests of radical interest groups against the needs of the military" The majority of of the house represents only radical interest groups? Pharmaceutical companies aren't radicals, they have the Lobby groups that can give them as much respect as money can buy. By their definition anyone against the US presence in Iraq is a radical. Of course war isn't radical. To Dictator it is a Natural Habitat.

POPSReport puts hidden war costs at $1.6 Trillion A family of four would be paying $16,500 to fund the war from 2002 to 2008, and the report speculates on the war continuing until 2017, where it estimates the expenditure to be $3.5 Trillion, at 46,400, per family. The Bush budget figures are likely to be specific spending allocations, without as much accounting for "co-lateral damage", even when the damage is to US Citizens.

POPSJudge Orders White House to hold Emails Bush Administration lawyers are arguing strongly against the decision. They protest the decision, of a federal judge, when it should be remembered that Bush owes his Presidency to a Supreme court decision, after the 2000 election. Maybe they want it to be taken to the Supreme Court. They know some people there.

POPSThe Foreigner's Gift:The Americans, the Arabs, and the Iraqis in Iraq
Yes, a poisoned Palestinian political culture opted for Hamas in a free election in early 2006. This is what it is: an expression of the malady of Palestinian politics. The larger case for democratic reform is bigger, and nobler, than the state of Palestinian politics. The Bush Doctrine brought about a veritable reversal in the realm of ideas: here was a conservative President asserting that freedom can travel to distant shores, that we can take it to strangers beyond, and here were his liberal critics at home falling back on a surly argument that Iraq, Lebanon, and other Arab and Islamic domains offer insurmountable obstacles to the spread of freedom. Those in the know—and those who pretend to be—have written and spoken about the influence exercised by the Egyptian thinker and pamphleteer Sayyid Qutb (executed by the Nasser regime in 1966) on the course of modern Islamism. This is good as far as it goes. What is needed is a more sustained analysis of the depth of Egyptian radicalism

POPSMarijuana, Cigarettes and the Bush Administration I believed Clinton too because I didn't get high the first time I smoked pot: didn't know how to inhale. (Never have smoked cigs). In American-style Christianity, smoking is a sin. I wonder how Bush reconciles with his god the fact that he is condoning sin by promoting cigarette smoking overseas.

POPSwant to know the real meaning of PEACE? Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second picture. Do you know why? "Because," explained the king, "peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace."

POPSHouse Democrats push Bush on Subpoenas The White House said executive privilege meant those who were charged with withholding documents from a congressional hearing-Contempt of Congress, were immune from prosecution. Of course they were only the messengers.
