Domestic Terrorism Inside-Out

This is domestic terrorism, but the wrong way around:  Utah Ravers were treated to the NeoCon way of doing business.

Here is the video:  http://undergroundclips.com/video/UtahRaveRaid.mov

You'd think they'd go after Osama bin Laden, or all the embedded terrorists here in the US before they'd bother bringing their assault rifles down on teenagers.

Who can tell the difference between the Police and Military in this video? If it is the police doing the raid, why are they using assault rifles and all dressed up and playing army?

John Stewart Recapitulates The Rove Leak

The John Stewart Show's "WayBack Machine" on Karl Rove.

This is the best recapitulation of the story of Karl Rove's leak.

Wow. This is the way news ought to be.

GOP Attacking an Independent Judiciary

Senator John Cornyn attacks our Independent Judiciary live on C-Span.

What gives with the GOP? Why are they threatening Judges with "courthouse violence" because Judges are "unaccountable to the public"?

I thought people who made threats to our democracy were considered terrorists.  But now people who believe they represent the Republican Party are making just such threatening remarks live on TV. First it was Trent Lott telling us that "the time will come"  for the judges who ruled according to law in the  Terri Schiavo case, that they will have "to answer for their behavior." Who exactly are they going to have to answer to? The radical right? The NRA? for following the law?

Now, as a New York Times Editorial on April 6, 2005 reports, Senator Cornyn argued that the courthouse violence we have seen is a result of an "unaccountable judiciary:"  he explained away the recent murder of a judge by arguing the following: "we seem to have run into a spate of courthouse violence recently in the news, whether the perception in some quarters in some occasions where judges are making political decisions, yet are unaccountable to the public, that it  it builds up and builds up and builds up until some people engage in violence."

The Atlanta judge who was murdered in his courtroom, the Chicago Judge's mother and husband executed by an obviously mentally ill man, how can a Sentator, let alone one on the Senate Judiciary Committee, possibly argue that these crimes have anything to do with an unaccountable judiciary?   

Have a look at Senator Cornyn making a thinly veiled threat of courthouse violence to Judges who don't represent the views of a strikingly radical but powerful minority within the Republican Party.

Where is the Justice Dept. when you need them?  Oh yeah, I forgot, the head of the Justice Dept. is part of the same radical minority.....it has to make you wonder.

Social Insecurity on the Daily Show

Daily Show on Social Insecurity

In their typically brilliant and sardonic way, The Daily Show has placed the Social Security debate in its full and proper context. George Bush is shown to be moving his sights away from Iraq and toward domestic issues.

The plundering of Iraq after the invasion clearly presages what will happen to our fine nation once the neoconservative cum radical Bush acolytes get through with us...

Homeland Insecurity

Homeland Insecurity:

On Undergroundfilm.org, Filmmakers Jigar Mehta and Jeff Plunkett have a documentary on the militarization of our capitol.  They are students at the Graduate School of Journalism (they don't say, but I presume UC Berkeley).  The shots of the surface to air missles on a roof has to make you wonder what's happened to us.  This is only the beginning....
