POPS'Historic' 'bailout' passes Congress This has got Nothing whatsoever to do with People (Who?) This is to bail ou the banking industry and corporate holdings. - give them the cash, and when the Economy hits rock bottom the idea is to buy out things of value, real assets for pennies. There is an Australian Movie 'The Castle' that puts into context "They're Dreamin' " Are we going to sell what we own Like they've sold the U.S. to Europe.? That's up to You

POPSU.S. Military Hoped for Virtually Unlimited Freedom of Action in Iraq This was reported in June... According to Cockburn's reporting, "President Bush wants to push through by the end of so he can declare a military victory and claim his 2003 invasion has been vindicated." (Note 13) A prime beneficiary of the acceptance of a military agreement that the Iraqi people do not believe respects their rights or serves their interests would probably be the vast, privatized U.S. military/intelligence complex, positioned to profit from repressing the resistance sure to follow. If the Bush administration's goal is achieved through secret deals and pressure tactics it would only confirm the widespread view that its commitment to democracy is primarily self-serving. In Iraq as elsewhere there are many who would welcome a genuine American commitment to liberty and human rights but believe that U.S. actions contradict its rhetoric. So much to decipher here!

POPSHearing on Limits of Executive Power: Vincent Bugliosi I posted on youtube Vincent Bugliosi appearance on Democracy Now http://www.democracynow.org/2008/6/13/citing_iraq_war_renowned_attorney_vincent There he gave a broad list of reasons why our president George W. Bush should be prosecuted for murder. Due to time limits on Youtube, I was unable to post the entire broadcast but took from it, what I thought was most interesting. (hard to do since all of Vincent Bugliosi words are phenomenal) Now http://www.youtube.com/user/videocafeblog has posted the Vincent Bugliosi's opening statements during the House Judiciary Committee hearing on the constitutional limits of executive power. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDAFozFn4kU This man is serious and all should take a moment to hear his chilling words.

POPSThe Prosecution Of George W Bush for Murder
When I first saw Vincent Bugliosi, talk about his book "The Prosecution Of George W Bush for Murder", I was blown away. I thought, he's not just another crackpot trying to sell a crackpot book, he is serious. Bush lied us into an illegal war and thus far, nothing, but words has happened to him and his crew. Is this reality? A reality that allows Bush to go scot-free for so many crimes. With no one not one group to point a finger and demand he pay for his misdeeds. Without a doubt, Bush, appears to be one who IS above the law. Not only is he above the law, he gets help to get away with his transgression. (namely: the FISA vote).... We are, most of us anyway, holding our breaths to see this sad excuse for a man leave the highest office, once and for all. But is that enough? I hope Bugliosi, one of the greatest prosecutors of our time, will not rest until he sees justice served upon George W. Bush. Also watch, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlISseXFjng

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.

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.

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”.

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.

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.

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.

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.

POPSBush to Democrats "We are at War"
Bush blames the democrats for poor veterans programs, due to their unwillingness to rubber stamp military spending. He talks about allowing the likes of Hitler, and "Lenin, and the consequences. The dictator is here, and the consequences are patently obvious, and immediate. The War is the Second American Civil War. The Aristocracy vs The People. Just look at the real defense of the U.S. homeland. There hasn't been a whit. Katrina, California, The National guard, the poverty that is consuming more, and more people who thought they had a secure lifestyle and income. The absolute assumption of power despite the will of the majority, the preparedness to act in a criminal manner. A) Because the laws that are enacted particularly absolve them, or B) Because there is confidence of enough reasonable doubt to avoid conviction, The absolute disregard for the constitution that endowed them with power, corrupt election practices, genocide, prejudice..... FALSE FLAG ATTACKS. The people are A

POPSKucinich Questions Bushes Mental Health Iran may have no weapons, but Russia has. It is also just about possible to learn how to make nuclear weapons on the net. It also requires an intimate knowledge of the particular discipline, which dictates that the development of Nuclear weapons requires particularly sophisticated technical equipment and procedures if development can even get beyond the first stage. Of course they could buy weapons from the Russians at any time. The Short fuse is in the White House Bunker. Pangenocidal Pyromania One interesting Hypothetical question.
