Have you seen this yet?

It’s true. It’s weird. It’s nuts. The Department of Homeland Security, after a five-year hunt for Osama, has finally brought charges against… Greg Palast. I kid you not. Send your cakes with files to the Air America wing at Guantanamo.

Though not just yet. Fatherland Security has informed me that television producer Matt Pascarella and I have been charged with unauthorized filming of a “critical national security structure” in Louisiana.

Weird is RIGHT!

    A shot fired across the bow of these independent media types,.. fu*k with bu$$hco just prior to the 2006 midterm elections,.. and you could find yourself in very hot water.

    KKKarl Rove has the MSM in his back pocket,.. he has $50 million to trash the Democrats just prior to the election. Nothing to upset Roves applecart will be permitted,.. nor will anything be allowed to disparage the Republican Party. These fascists intend to win this November election.

    It is occurring to me that our troops in Iraq are not there to “give the people freedom” but to keep Iraq from producing oil ! One less producer for the world market means price goes up for the others.
    Wow it is a win win situation for Bush/Cheney. Our troops are helping cause the insurgency action which in turn keeps the country torn up and unable to get the pipeline running.

    Bush has his “war” to keep the sheeple safe and his contributors happy with 1 Billion a week profits and that is Billion with a B !

    Our young people’s blood for profits, could it be any more evil than this?

    Phil – watch Lou Dobbs, he said Bush is pushing a bill that would protect his administration (and him) against being tried for war crimes.

    Could it be he is worried ? I certainly hope so !!!

    I’m glad to see some additional exposure for this. In this new post Greg is asking for help in getting the word out. He puts everything on the line for the public, and this is a great chance for us to support him in at least a small way by bringing this to the attention of the media.

    Meek and mild mannered University Professor’s next?

    Steven Jones has been getting almost daily coverage here since he gave an interveiw on a local radio station which resulted in his getting suspended. (either that or because Bush visted the church president).

    Thousands of letters from professors and others have been pouring in, supporting his right to free speech, (David Horowitz and education czar William Bennett have opened a gaping sore with these guys).

    All he did was blame Wolfowitz and Perle for blowing up the trade towers and they’re calling him anti-semitic.

    For Gods sakes, there are good Jews and bad Jews aren’t there! There are good cartoon mice and bad cartoon mice! Mighty and Mickey!
