http://impeachforpeace.org/ImpeachNow.html thought this was worthy of a seperate thread. Impeach for Peace, a Minnesota-based impeachment group, has researched a method for impeaching the president using a little known and rarely used part of the Rules of the House of Representatives ("Jefferson’s Manual"). This document actually empowers individual citizens to initiate the impeachment process themselves. "Jefferson's Manual" is an interpretive guide to parliamentary procedure, and is included (along with the Constitution) in the bound volumes of the Rules of the House of Representatives. The…

what no thread on this? y'all are slacking. Court Eases 'No Knock' Search Ban Illegally Collected Evidence Allowed By Charles Lane Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, June 16, 2006; Page A01 The Constitution does not require the government to forfeit evidence gathered through illegal "no knock" searches, the Supreme Court ruled yesterday, in a far-reaching ruling that could encourage police with search warrants to conduct more aggressive raids. The 5 to 4 decision broke with the court's modern tradition of enforcing constitutional limitations on police investigations by keeping improperly obtained evidence out of court. The "excl…

I'm not huge on conspiracy theories, but there is a lot of good information on the website where I got this article. If you have any more information or discussion on the horrible direction our popular culture is leading us , I guess this is the official 12oz. spot to discuss it. I think people are way too quiet about these issues, almost like everyone is silently guilty of being a consumer whore these days. Subtle Messages, Profound Implications Advertising, Social Engineering, & the New World Order Introduction: Most of us see hundreds each day and thousands each week. Their messages are subtle, and repeated and reinforced incessantly. They…

It’s all about the play ground http://www.albionmonitor.com/0202a/enrontimeline.html June 5, 1992: Enron sent a group of officials to New Delhi to make arrangements to survey the land around Dabhol for the purpose of building a large power plant. June 20, 1992: Enron and the government of the state of Maharashtra signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding to build the plant. This led to formation of the Dabhol Power Company (DPC), a joint venture of Enron and two other American corporations, General Electric and Bechtel.

Robertson Claims He Leg Pressed 2,000 Pounds June 8, 2006 2:27 p.m. EST Richard Rittierodt - All Headline News Contributor Norfolk, VA (AHN) - According to religious broadcaster Pat Robertson, at the age of 73 and with prostate cancer, he was able to leg-press 2,000 pounds. Robertson said, "I did it one time, one rep, but I had built up to it for about three years." However, some sports experts are critical of his claim because the leg press record for some football players at Florida State is 665 pounds less than what Robertson is claiming. He did note that the way he did it would probably not be allowed in bodybuilding competitions because he did n…

Iran eyes badges for Jews Law would require non-Muslim insignia Chris WattieNational Post Friday, May 19, 2006 Human rights groups are raising alarms over a new law passed by the Iranian parliament that would require the country's Jews and Christians to wear coloured badges to identify them and other religious minorities as non-Muslims. "This is reminiscent of the Holocaust," said Rabbi Marvin Hier, the dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles. "Iran is moving closer and closer to the ideology of the Nazis." Iranian expatriates living in Canada yesterday confirmed reports that the Iranian parliament, called the Islamic Majlis, passed a law this w…

Contra-Contraception By RUSSELL SHORTO Published: May 7, 2006, Yew York Times The English writer Daniel Defoe is best remembered today for creating the ultimate escapist fantasy, "Robinson Crusoe," but in 1727 he sent the British public into a scandalous fit with the publication of a nonfiction work called "Conjugal Lewdness: or, Matrimonial Whoredom." After apparently being asked to tone down the title for a subsequent edition, Defoe came up with a new one — "A Treatise Concerning the Use and Abuse of the Marriage Bed" — that only put a finer point on things. The book wasn't a tease, however. It was a moralizing lecture. After the wanton years that followed the …

Let's talk about our political ideals. However, I would like to avoid responses that are arguments - in this case I think we would do better letting people just say their piece. If someone says something you don't agree with or is bullshit, let it go for the sake of what I think could be an interesting collection of opinions. Or if you're going to counter, make it your ideal so at least it stays on subject. I am definitely a socialist in the more modern Swedish model. I believe in a level playing field and certain protections for people. I think wealth begets wealth, which is unfair (I've known too many wealthy people perhaps). Likewise, I do not believe in…

The time draws nigh. We will soon see if our democracy is completely broken. As you well know the Help America Vote Act has succeeded in flooding the country with vote-stealing machines. While there are several courtcases defenders of justice are embroiled in, we have not seen much in results, and they may be in stalemate. Democrats now have a clear majority support, and mid-term elections should reflect that. And of course when democrats are back in power they damn well better impeach Bush. Notice now, how the propaganda, sweating the polls, derides and belittles them. They don't pay much attention to them. They have already begun their assault. If they have …

I thought this would generate an interesting discussion.... Economists are furrowing their brows, scratching their heads and asking each other, Is the US deficit growing too large? Is the US dollar plunging too fast? Will the Chinese keep buying our bonds? Meanwhile, the mainstream media is growing alarmed. A recent Newsweek cover-story outlined the very real potential of an economic collapse and dimly added that "if you think that some economist – or even Alan Greenspan – has a realistic solution, think again.” The New York Times ran an editorial criticizing President Bush’s “tax-cut-and-weak-dollar deficit-bloating ploys.” It warned that the US economy …

CBS) The latest CBS News poll finds President Bush's approval rating has fallen to an all-time low of 34 percent, while pessimism about the Iraq war has risen to a new high. Americans are also overwhelmingly opposed to the Bush-backed deal giving a Dubai-owned company operational control over six major U.S. ports. Seven in 10 Americans, including 58 percent of Republicans, say they're opposed to the agreement. CBS News senior White House correspondent Jim Axelrod reports that now it turns out the Coast Guard had concerns about the ports deal, a disclosure that is no doubt troubling to a president who assured Americans there was no security risk from the deal. …

NEW! From the same country that brought you the anti-missle missle... US 'plans stealth shark spies' Pentagon scientists are planning to turn sharks into "stealth spies" capable of tracking vessels undetected, a British magazine has reported. They want to remotely control the sharks by implanting electrodes in their brains, The New Scientist says. It says the aim is "to exploit sharks' natural ability to glide through the water, sense delicate electrical gradients and follow chemical trails". The unusual project was unveiled last week in Hawaii, it says. 'Steering' sharks The research is being funded by the Pentagon's Defence Advanced Research Projects…

In blooper-type footage from a Zarqawi video released last week, the al Qaeda in Iraq leader is seen fumbling with a machine gun. U.S. Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch said the video was found during a series of raids in April on purported terror cell safe houses southwest of Baghdad. Lynch said Zarqawi d…

Long...worth reading. Michael Hirsh / Newsweek | April 23 2006 Maj. Micah Morgan fondly pats the nose of his Predator drone, much as a cavalry officer of old might have stroked the muzzle of his prized horse. "This is the future of the Air Force," says Morgan, a former B-1 bomber pilot. It is a glorious day in the Sunni Triangle. Outside the "wire" of Balad Air Base the insurgency still rages and sectarian war looms, but the sky above is a deep azure and, no small thing, wholly American-owned. A relaxed Morgan watches from the shade of Saddam Hussein's old hardened hangars as another Predator—an unmanned craft about the size of a Cessna—approaches for a re…
