<title><![CDATA[Delete/Repair the Windows Media Player Library]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>After searching for the fix, It seemed the file path was wrong. If you are having problems with windows media player one of the steps is deleting the database that manages all of the things inside the player.</p>
<p>I have found that path to be:</p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">C:\Documents and Settings\{your user}\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player</font></p>
<p>Make sure windows media player is closed, then delete everything in that folder.</p>

<title><![CDATA[I Know Who Broke Your Comments]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Recently some people have noticed at dig an error message about the comments being broken. With 99% certainty I write what I know to be the problem.</p>
<p><img align="left" border="0" height="129" src="/userFiles/andy/diggcomments.gif" width="241"/>Digg uses ajax to pull data when its needed. Firewalls or hardware that is a firewall sometimes blocks these ajax request because the type of request being sent from the ajax call isn't known by the browser. </p>
<p>When the document declares what it is, the Firewall or Watchgaurd looks to see what the browser says a certain document is. </p>
<p>More than likely when you see the error &quot;Oh noz! I broked ur commentz.&quot;, it is your firewall or watchgaurd blocking the ajax comment call, that is retrieving the comments you asked.</p>
<p>If I am wrong, it would not be the first time this hour.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[ICQ 6 YouTube Link Bug]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Maybe its windows, maybe its icq, but one of the two need to be fixed. Ever since I installed icq 6 i have not been able to click on any link inside any message linking to youtube without getting redirected to an error page. <br/><br/><font color="#cc0000">If you have recently uploaded this video, you may need to wait a few minutes for the video to process. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU18BtdxXX0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU18BtdxXX0</a></font></p>

<title><![CDATA[Dot Gov Register Waste Tax Dollars]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Those who know little about domain name registration know that register.com / network solutions are two of the most over priced domain registrars on the net. I am going to be looking at getting a domain name for our local government. The extension for our domain is .gov. </p>
<p><a href="https://www.dotgov.gov/index.aspx">Dotgov.gov</a> is where you go if you are going to register a .gov domain. Since 1997 dotgov.gov has been in charge of the extension and they charge a lot more than register.com</p>
<p><a href="http://godaddy.com/">Godaddy's</a> prices range from $5 to $9 per year per domain, <a href="https://www.register.com/about/pricing/general.rcmx">register.com</a> $35 a year, <a href="http://www.networksolutions.com/domain-name-registration/pricing-chart.jsp">networksolutions</a> $34.99 a year. </p>
<p><a href="https://www.dotgov.gov/index.aspx">Dotgov.gov</a> registers domain names for $125 a year. Meaning that a government service to government agency overpays 3 fold using your tax dollars. Every government entity that registers a .gov name, tax payers are paying for a huge fee.</p>
<p><strong>In focus. </strong></p>
<p>The government will waste money. This is just another example of what happens when the government is involved. Is there any good reason that it cost so much to handle .gov domains?</p>
<p>If you have any extra money laying around the house please send it to the government. Its obvious they do not have enough of our tax dollars. Maybe the government should take 100% of our income and then send us back the money the do not need.</p>
<p>And the American people really want our government to manage health care, even after they screwed up social security so bad? What America needs is less government and more liberty.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Real ID Is Super Bad Ask Social Security]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<P><A href="/userFiles/andy/rants/Ssncard.gif?size=16287"><IMG title="Download Full Image" height=362 alt="Download Full Image" src="/userFiles/andy/rants/Ssncard.gif" width=300 align=right border=0></A>Coming to a state near you is a real id act, some kind of act where the government wants you to carry around precious info, just in case you need to prove to someone you live in the country, legally.</P>
<P>The main problem with most government programs is that they go out of the scope of the original idea, needing more, costing more, with larger budgets every year.</P>
<P>The Social Security Number was originally intended to ensure accurate reporting of payroll contributions so that an employee's Social Security benefits could be adjusted accordingly, and then the employee could claim their benefits upon retirement.</P>
<P>One of the key components in stealing your identity is your social security number. It is required by every bank. Everyone needs money. </P>
<P>Do you want the government in control of an RFID chip that tells other government computers who you are, what you are, and where you can go?</P>
<P>When you give your baby's ssn to the IRS, you pay less federal income taxes. Federal income tax dollars go to pay the private banks the interested owed to them by our government borrowing from something called the federal reserve. Our government has the only legal right to coin money, not a group of private banks that make up the federal reserve system.</P>
<P>America hasn't been America for some time. Our government sold us out to a banking system, just like the one that controls what is now called the European Union.</P>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Fuck You George Stephanopoulos]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p> George Stephanopoulos on a camera inverview with Ron Paul bets all of his money Paul will not win. Paul has won every national debate including the straw poll in Iowa. George Stephanopoulos makes this comment &quot;Thanks not going to happen, you are not going to win.&quot;</p>
<p><embed height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fk60hAzwWO4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425"></embed></p>
<p>This is not journalism or anything of the sort. It is what it presents itself to be, fear from a Bilderberger of Pauls intentions if he is elected. Pauls intentions, in everyway go against the ideas and beliefes of globalist like Stephanopulass who belong to groups like the Bilderbergers.</p>
<p>It is possible that <font face="Times New Roman" size="3">George Stephanopoulos may already knows the outcome of the 2008 election. Just like the rigged elections in 2000 and 2004, 2008 could be the same. Although I find it ballsy <font face="Times New Roman" size="3">George Stephanopoulos would bet all his money that Paul will not win for sure. The Bilderberger is a group of very elite individuals who can decide who wins elections. Look them up.</font></font></p>
<p>Then again <font face="Times New Roman" size="3">George Stephanopoulos is disinformation artist. He wouldnt know liberty if it was between his legs. <font face="Times New Roman" size="3">George Stephanopoulos is a tool and he gets used a lot.</font></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">George Stephanopoulos is not a journalist.</font></p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Iraq Bandwagon Shifting - Ron Paul]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>The republicans are changing their tragedy on how they talk about Iraq. Other congressman are coming forward saying bush's idea of the Iraq war has to end. </p>
<p>This change in face is one due to the outcry of American support, some 70% - a majority in most democracies, do not favor the war. And then there is Ron Paul. </p>
<p>Ron Paul who has been anti war since birth never voted to give bush authorization for the war, never voted for the patriot act, and has never voted to increase taxes. His popularity since his running for president is forcing republicans to change their brainwashed point of bush's view.</p>
<p>Only once candidate talks about none intervention as a foreign policy. Only one candidate talks about liberty and freedom without using the word terrorist. </p>
<p>The pride in people who still feel we need to kill more foreign people to be safe here need to understand that killing other groups of people does not create friendships. Just because we say we are doing what the Iraq's want doest mean they want us there. </p>
<p>Our own prejudice about how we feel we treat the world is biased. Of course Americans think that we are all good no evil, they are brainwashed by the fake ass news they shove down our throats everyday on the mass media. </p>
<p>MSNBC, FOX, CNN, NBC, all of them make money when their are tragedy's or wars or murders. The mass media make money off of selling fear. </p>
<p>Do you what to know why they ignore Ron Paul? If you watch one video, you will see why the mainstream media ignore him for the most part. Ron Paul threatens their jobs, he threatens great change to a system that is corrupt as it gets. Do you know what the Federal Reserve Act actually does, what it has been used for since 1913?</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Those Who Support Terrorist]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>The word terrorist has run its course. It doesn't mean anything anymore. When Bush and dolls talk about those who support terrorist being just as guilty as the terrorist, he is talking about the United States as well. He is talking about a foreign policy that is easy to look up and understand. The united states supported the taliban and bin laden specifically. </p>
<p>Trained them, showed them how to make bombs and use weapons. Yes we the United States have had a foreign policy that has created these sold called terrorist. </p>
<p>And before you go into 9/11, I do not see any more evidence to support the official story than I do common laws of physics that tell people using reason that other things were in place on that day to cause the complete destruction with propaganda to create a war time atmosphere.</p>
<p>The resolution for regime change in Iraq was voted on by our congress in 1998. The excuse about weapons of mass destructions that were lies, the link to the terrorist were lies. Not to mention Scooter Libby, the vice presidents aide, is going to jail for lying about how he leaked a CIA agents name to the press. She happen to be in the field  of tracking down bad weapons in foreign countries.</p>
<p>We support Pakistan who's latest government is a military coupe who over threw an elected official, they have nuclear weapons. The Pakistan government has connections to Mohammad otta the supposed mastermind behind the official 9/11 story. We openly support Pakistan.</p>
<p>15 of 19 supposed hijackers where from Saudi Arabia. Why did we bomb the shit out of Afghanistan? And how does killing over 600,000 people in Iraq justify Saddam Hussein being hung for killing 140 some people he found guilty of trying to assassinate him, while he was president? How can our Bush or anyone justify killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people when Iraq had done <strong>nothing </strong>to us?</p>
<p>The united states government sold Saddam the gas he used on the Kurds that he found guilty of an assassination plot on his life. </p>
<p>A country that acts like we do around the world will eventually lose support, go broke and become a third world country. The founding fathers warned about private banks creating and issuing a countries currency. Inflation on a system called the Federal Reserve goes unchecked with private bankers at the helm this is what you get. If I bought something for $1 dollar in 1913, if I had to pay for that same thing today I would have to pay <a href="http://www.minneapolisfed.org/research/data/us/calc/">$20.76</a>. </p>
<p>The dollar is worth very little and you can not take it to a bank and get gold or silver for it. So you are stuck carrying around a piece of paper that one day may not be worth anything. $0. Depression.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Word 2003 Missing Tools In Menu]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>If you ever find your word 2003 missing the tools option from the top menu of the application, the reset for this is recreating your normal.dot file.</p>
<p>The normal.dot file used by word is very important to words operation. Recreating this file is easy and solves a lot of corruption problems in word.</p>
<p>Search your computer for the file &quot;normal.dot&quot; without quotes. Each user of the computer will have their own normal.dot file in their profile. If your search results for normal.dot are more than one, look to make sure the normal.dot file you are about to rename is in your windows profile. You know this by going to the properties on the file in the search result. If the path to the normal.dot file is in a folder that has your windows login, use that one. What we want to do to the normal.dot file is rename it to normal<strong>Old</strong>.dot</p>
<p>By changing the name of the normal.dot to something else, allows office to recreate the normal.dot file the next time word 2003 starts. When office recreates the normal.dot, it fixes corruption and bad things that have caused your problem.</p>
<p>You should rename the normal.dot file when word is closed. If word is open you may get an access denied error when trying to rename it.</p>
<p>Recreating the normal.dot file fixes a wide range of problems with word. This note is specific to the missing tools menu in word 2003.</p>

<title><![CDATA[U.S. offers $200,000 for tips on missing troops]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Attention: the missing troops are in Iraq. They are fighting what some people call a war. The best way to avoid this, is to not start wars based on lies.</p>
<p>Here is a thought. Let the troops come home and find out how they have been lied to. Tell them that their government is using them as chess pieces to instill a world that is non stop war against anyone we declare terrorist.</p>
<p>We lie about reasons for war, our own citizens do not want the Iraq war to continue, neither do the Iraq's, and yet our leaders tell us that we are a nation of free people, by the people and for the people? If so, end the war, if not, you are going to have missing troops, like the 3,400 already missing that you wont find again.</p>
<p>Anyone who supports the Iraq occupation is a hypocrite. Its time to end the war, and it is time the American people get out from behind the bag of chips and American idol and do your civic duty.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Ron Paul Finishs 2nd In 2nd Debate]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>The south Carolina republican debate was held last night. One thing that jumps out of all the headlines is Ron Paul's comments about how foreign policy effect how the world likes us that went into a spew of lisped words crapped out by Guliani. </p>
<p>Ron Paul was attacked last night when he made the comment that bombing Iraq for 10 years before 9/11 and the US government tried to install its own idea of government in Iran in the 1950 using the CIA, who ousted an elected Iranian President.</p>
<p>Ron Paul was making the point that you can go around the world assassinating leaders, nation building using misinformation. It is easy to understand that our foreign policy makes other country angry. Imagine Iran assassinating one of our presidents or installing when of their own as a president in our country. How would that make us feel? That is what the united states has done in the past and this is real American history.</p>
<p>Guiliani interrupted and ask that Ron Paul retract his statements, saying that Ron Paul blamed America for the attacks. Despite the crowd applause, Ron Paul still beat out Rudy Guliani in the poll for who won the debate. Here is link to <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,272493,00.html">Fox's news poll</a>. Ron Paul finished 2nd by fox's own poll. </p>
<p>After the debate Ron Paul was asked by Sean Hannity about the comment on 9/11. Hannity went on to sound like a kid trying to talk to an adult. Ron Paul did make a good point by saying that the USA sold Saddam the same gas he used on the Kurds that eventually he was hung for. </p>
<p>McCain and Bush have this rhetoric they are throwing around saying that if we leave Iraq, the terrorist will follow us home. Do adults buy that bullshit? Are we going to leave a map or a bread crumb trail when we eventually leave? Do people honestly follow that line of thinking? Is it just me or does the majority of America want out of the Iraq Lie War? </p>
<p>If this country was really about the people, and it is the people want to end the war, then any candidate that supports the war should drop out on principle.</p>
<p>If Ron Paul really wants to piss Guliani off, have him ask Guliani explain why building 7 collapsed on 9/11. Gulianni should know, his emergency bunker was in building 7.</p>
<p>One last thing, fuck Guliani. Just because you were the mayor of the city in which the largest false flag operation took place, doesn't mean people like you. Remember the firefighters in new york hate guiliani. </p>
<p>Guliani is a lisping fear monger. 9/11, terror, terrorist, 9/11.</p>
<p>Guliani compared New York City to Washington, DC and said DC would be easy compared to New York. Who writes this shit? guiliani is a crook. Just like all those other shells pushing for a national id card. </p>
<p><strong>The Future.</strong></p>
<p>Let me see your papers sir. I'm sorry sir you cant go into that building, aircraft, state, job until i see your papers.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Sold Out Media In America Spells Bad Future]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<P>In controlling a society, not only do you&nbsp; need to control the money, you need to control the media. A simple list of mainstream media ownership points a finger. However Ron Paul has broken through to the gates and onto tv and it will be very important for the mainstream media to keep a cap on him.&nbsp; Not only mainstream media, a lot of news websites that are supposed to be unbiased and informative, simply lie about how America sees the debates. This controls the shells that they put into office. The same people that own the mainstream media sit on the same board of directors of defense contract businesses.</P>
<P>There are many polls online about the debate. You can view the polls and then view the sites that explain who won, even though some polls show Ron Paul out by far. Screen shots below. Its clear fascism. This is what free people are up against; a dictator, a media that lies for them, an army a half a world away who couldn't defend its own people even if the people trusted a military coup.</P>

<title><![CDATA[John McCain is George Bush]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>The difference between John McCain and George Bush is none. If you watch the MSNBC Republican debate, John McCain sounds just like Bush. Guiliani cant go a debate without saying the word, 9/11.</p>
<p>The republican party is pathetic. Almost all of the republicans are talking about building more military to do more global policing. Is that what America is here for? Policing the world? I am not here to die for someone elses country, other than my own. In her defense not some made up war of lies for people to make profits off the war.</p>
<p>Look I am not going to die and fight in a war because some other countries are not getting a long. Going to war with Iraq or Iran or any other country we know nothing about is not going to make america safer. War will never make anyone safer. War will only fill the pockets of rich men with more money.</p>
<p>More than likely they are not getting a long because of something the united states has done. Our federal government is entrusted to help defend the country not nation build or police the world. If you think America needs to do that, then you go die for nothing.</p>
<p>The only candidate that never voted for tax increases is Ron Paul. Ron Paul 2008.</p>
<p>Its not about democrat or republican. They are the same evil. The same jack asses in both parties are liars. Its like the mob, the republicans are the genovesays and the democrats are the gambinos. Either way, you elect crooks.</p>
<p>Why do I trust Ron Paul? He has never voted to increase taxes. He wants to bring all our troops from all over the world home. He wants to end the war in Iraq. He wants to get rid of the IRS and the federal income tax lie. He wants to get rid of the Federal Reserve System that has stole money from the people of america who put it in the corporate whores pockets.</p>
<p>Ron Paul wants limited government who has few responsibilties which are, military defense. Not military offense / nation building. Using the military for defense like it was entrusted to begin with. </p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[War Is A Racket - Major General Butler]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p align="left"><img align="right" border="0" height="188" hspace="4" src="/userFiles/andy/politics/150px-SmedleyButler.jpg" vspace="2" width="150"/>by Two-Time Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient: Major General Smedley D. Butler, USMC [Retired]</p>
<p align="left"><font size="5">Chapter One</font></p>
<p><font size="7"><u>WAR IS A RACKET</u></font></p>
<p align="left">WAR is a racket. It always has been.</p>
<p align="left">It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.</p>
<p align="left">A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small &quot;inside&quot; group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.</p>
<p align="left">In the World War [I] a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict. At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War. That many admitted their huge blood gains in their income tax returns. How many other war millionaires falsified their tax returns no one knows.</p>
<p align="left">How many of these war millionaires shouldered a rifle? How many of them dug a trench? How many of them knew what it meant to go hungry in a rat-infested dug-out? How many of them spent sleepless, frightened nights, ducking shells and shrapnel and machine gun bullets? How many of them parried a bayonet thrust of an enemy? How many of them were wounded or killed in battle?</p>
<p align="left">Out of war nations acquire additional territory, if they are victorious. They just take it. This newly acquired territory promptly is exploited by the few – the selfsame few who wrung dollars out of blood in the war. The general public shoulders the bill.</p>
<p align="left">And what is this bill?</p>
<p align="left">This bill renders a horrible accounting. Newly placed gravestones. Mangled bodies. Shattered minds. Broken hearts and homes. Economic instability. Depression and all its attendant miseries. Back-breaking taxation for generations and generations.</p>
<p align="left">For a great many years, as a soldier, I had a suspicion that war was a racket; not until I retired to civil life did I fully realize it. Now that I see the international war clouds gathering, as they are today, I must face it and speak out.</p>
<p align="justify">Again they are choosing sides. France and Russia met and agreed to stand side by side. Italy and Austria hurried to make a similar agreement. Poland and Germany cast sheep's eyes at each other, forgetting for the nonce [one unique occasion], their dispute over the Polish Corridor. </p>
<p align="justify">The assassination of King Alexander of Jugoslavia [Yugoslavia] complicated matters. Jugoslavia and Hungary, long bitter enemies, were almost at each other's throats. Italy was ready to jump in. But France was waiting. So was Czechoslovakia. All of them are looking ahead to war. Not the people – not those who fight and pay and die – only those who foment wars and remain safely at home to profit.</p>
<p align="justify">There are 40,000,000 men under arms in the world today, and our statesmen and diplomats have the temerity to say that war is not in the making.</p>
<p align="justify">Hell's bells! Are these 40,000,000 men being trained to be dancers?</p>
<p align="justify">Not in Italy, to be sure. Premier Mussolini knows what they are being trained for. He, at least, is frank enough to speak out. Only the other day, Il Duce in &quot;International Conciliation,&quot; the publication of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said:</p>
<strong><p align="justify">&quot;And above all, Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace... War alone brings up to its highest tension all human energy and puts the stamp of nobility upon the people who have the courage to meet it.&quot;</p>
<p align="justify"> </p>
</strong><p align="justify">Undoubtedly Mussolini means exactly what he says. His well-trained army, his great fleet of planes, and even his navy are ready for war – anxious for it, apparently. His recent stand at the side of Hungary in the latter's dispute with Jugoslavia showed that. And the hurried mobilization of his troops on the Austrian border after the assassination of Dollfuss showed it too. There are others in Europe too whose sabre rattling presages war, sooner or later.</p>
<p align="justify">Herr Hitler, with his rearming Germany and his constant demands for more and more arms, is an equal if not greater menace to peace. France only recently increased the term of military service for its youth from a year to eighteen months.</p>
<p align="justify">Yes, all over, nations are camping in their arms. The mad dogs of Europe are on the loose. In the Orient the maneuvering is more adroit. Back in 1904, when Russia and Japan fought, we kicked out our old friends the Russians and backed Japan. Then our very generous international bankers were financing Japan. Now the trend is to poison us against the Japanese. What does the &quot;open door&quot; policy to China mean to us? Our trade with China is about $90,000,000 a year. Or the Philippine Islands? We have spent about $600,000,000 in the Philippines in thirty-five years and we (our bankers and industrialists and speculators) have private investments there of less than $200,000,000.</p>
<p align="justify">Then, to save that China trade of about $90,000,000, or to protect these private investments of less than $200,000,000 in the Philippines, we would be all stirred up to hate Japan and go to war – a war that might well cost us tens of billions of dollars, hundreds of thousands of lives of Americans, and many more hundreds of thousands of physically maimed and mentally unbalanced men.</p>
<p align="justify">Of course, for this loss, there would be a compensating profit – fortunes would be made. Millions and billions of dollars would be piled up. By a few. Munitions makers. Bankers. Ship builders. Manufacturers. Meat packers. Speculators. They would fare well.</p>
<p align="justify">Yes, they are getting ready for another war. Why shouldn't they? It pays high dividends.</p>
<p align="justify">But what does it profit the men who are killed? What does it profit their mothers and sisters, their wives and their sweethearts? What does it profit their children?</p>
<p align="justify">What does it profit anyone except the very few to whom war means huge profits?</p>
<p align="justify">Yes, and what does it profit the nation?</p>
<p align="justify">Take our own case. Until 1898 we didn't own a bit of territory outside the mainland of North America. At that time our national debt was a little more than $1,000,000,000. Then we became &quot;internationally minded.&quot; We forgot, or shunted aside, the advice of the Father of our country. We forgot George Washington's warning about &quot;entangling alliances.&quot; We went to war. We acquired outside territory. At the end of the World War period, as a direct result of our fiddling in international affairs, our national debt had jumped to over $25,000,000,000. Our total favorable trade balance during the twenty-five-year period was about $24,000,000,000. Therefore, on a purely bookkeeping basis, we ran a little behind year for year, and that foreign trade might well have been ours without the wars.</p>
<p align="justify">It would have been far cheaper (not to say safer) for the average American who pays the bills to stay out of foreign entanglements. For a very few this racket, like bootlegging and other underworld rackets, brings fancy profits, but the cost of operations is always transferred to the people – who do not profit.</p>
<p align="justify"> </p>
<p align="justify"><font size="5"><u>CHAPTER TWO </u></font></p>
<p align="left"><font size="7"><u>WHO MAKES THE PROFITS?</u></font></p>
<p align="justify">The World War, rather our brief participation in it, has cost the United States some $52,000,000,000. Figure it out. That means $400 to every American man, woman, and child. And we haven't paid the debt yet. We are paying it, our children will pay it, and our children's children probably still will be paying the cost of that war.</p>
<p align="justify">The normal profits of a business concern in the United States are six, eight, ten, and sometimes twelve percent. But war-time profits – ah! that is another matter – twenty, sixty, one hundred, three hundred, and even eighteen hundred per cent – the sky is the limit. All that traffic will bear. Uncle Sam has the money. Let's get it.</p>
<p align="justify">Of course, it isn't put that crudely in war time. It is dressed into speeches about patriotism, love of country, and &quot;we must all put our shoulders to the wheel,&quot; but the profits jump and leap and skyrocket – and are safely pocketed. Let's just take a few examples:</p>
<p align="justify">Take our friends the du Ponts, the powder people – didn't one of them testify before a Senate committee recently that their powder won the war? Or saved the world for democracy? Or something? How did they do in the war? They were a patriotic corporation. Well, the average earnings of the du Ponts for the period 1910 to 1914 were $6,000,000 a year. It wasn't much, but the du Ponts managed to get along on it. Now let's look at their average yearly profit during the war years, 1914 to 1918. Fifty-eight million dollars a year profit we find! Nearly ten times that of normal times, and the profits of normal times were pretty good. An increase in profits of more than 950 per cent.</p>
<p align="justify">Take one of our little steel companies that patriotically shunted aside the making of rails and girders and bridges to manufacture war materials. Well, their 1910-1914 yearly earnings averaged $6,000,000. Then came the war. And, like loyal citizens, Bethlehem Steel promptly turned to munitions making. Did their profits jump – or did they let Uncle Sam in for a bargain? Well, their 1914-1918 average was $49,000,000 a year!</p>
<p align="justify">Or, let's take United States Steel. The normal earnings during the five-year period prior to the war were $105,000,000 a year. Not bad. Then along came the war and up went the profits. The average yearly profit for the period 1914-1918 was $240,000,000. Not bad.</p>
<p align="justify">There you have some of the steel and powder earnings. Let's look at something else. A little copper, perhaps. That always does well in war times.</p>
<p align="justify">Anaconda, for instance. Average yearly earnings during the pre-war years 1910-1914 of $10,000,000. During the war years 1914-1918 profits leaped to $34,000,000 per year.</p>
<p align="justify">Or Utah Copper. Average of $5,000,000 per year during the 1910-1914 period. Jumped to an average of $21,000,000 yearly profits for the war period.</p>
<p align="justify">Let's group these five, with three smaller companies. The total yearly average profits of the pre-war period 1910-1914 were $137,480,000. Then along came the war. The average yearly profits for this group skyrocketed to $408,300,000.</p>
<p align="justify">A little increase in profits of approximately 200 per cent.</p>
<p align="justify">Does war pay? It paid them. But they aren't the only ones. There are still others. Let's take leather.</p>
<p align="justify">For the three-year period before the war the total profits of Central Leather Company were $3,500,000. That was approximately $1,167,000 a year. Well, in 1916 Central Leather returned a profit of $15,000,000, a small increase of 1,100 per cent. That's all. The General Chemical Company averaged a profit for the three years before the war of a little over $800,000 a year. Came the war, and the profits jumped to $12,000,000. a leap of 1,400 per cent.</p>
<p align="justify">International Nickel Company – and you can't have a war without nickel – showed an increase in profits from a mere average of $4,000,000 a year to $73,000,000 yearly. Not bad? An increase of more than 1,700 per cent.</p>
<p align="justify">American Sugar Refining Company averaged $2,000,000 a year for the three years before the war. In 1916 a profit of $6,000,000 was recorded.</p>
<p align="justify">Listen to Senate Document No. 259. The Sixty-Fifth Congress, reporting on corporate earnings and government revenues. Considering the profits of 122 meat packers, 153 cotton manufacturers, 299 garment makers, 49 steel plants, and 340 coal producers during the war. Profits under 25 per cent were exceptional. For instance the coal companies made between 100 per cent and 7,856 per cent on their capital stock during the war. The Chicago packers doubled and tripled their earnings.</p>
<p align="justify">And let us not forget the bankers who financed the great war. If anyone had the cream of the profits it was the bankers. Being partnerships rather than incorporated organizations, they do not have to report to stockholders. And their profits were as secret as they were immense. How the bankers made their millions and their billions I do not know, because those little secrets never become public – even before a Senate investigatory body.</p>
<p align="justify">But here's how some of the other patriotic industrialists and speculators chiseled their way into war profits.</p>
<p align="justify">Take the shoe people. They like war. It brings business with abnormal profits. They made huge profits on sales abroad to our allies. Perhaps, like the munitions manufacturers and armament makers, they also sold to the enemy. For a dollar is a dollar whether it comes from Germany or from France. But they did well by Uncle Sam too. For instance, they sold Uncle Sam 35,000,000 pairs of hobnailed service shoes. There were 4,000,000 soldiers. Eight pairs, and more, to a soldier. My regiment during the war had only one pair to a soldier. Some of these shoes probably are still in existence. They were good shoes. But when the war was over Uncle Sam has a matter of 25,000,000 pairs left over. Bought – and paid for. Profits recorded and pocketed.</p>
<p align="justify">There was still lots of leather left. So the leather people sold your Uncle Sam hundreds of thousands of McClellan saddles for the cavalry. But there wasn't any American cavalry overseas! Somebody had to get rid of this leather, however. Somebody had to make a profit in it – so we had a lot of McClellan saddles. And we probably have those yet.</p>
<p align="justify">Also somebody had a lot of mosquito netting. They sold your Uncle Sam 20,000,000 mosquito nets for the use of the soldiers overseas. I suppose the boys were expected to put it over them as they tried to sleep in muddy trenches – one hand scratching cooties on their backs and the other making passes at scurrying rats. Well, not one of these mosquito nets ever got to France!</p>
<p align="justify">Anyhow, these thoughtful manufacturers wanted to make sure that no soldier would be without his mosquito net, so 40,000,000 additional yards of mosquito netting were sold to Uncle Sam.</p>
<p align="justify">There were pretty good profits in mosquito netting in those days, even if there were no mosquitoes in France. I suppose, if the war had lasted just a little longer, the enterprising mosquito netting manufacturers would have sold your Uncle Sam a couple of consignments of mosquitoes to plant in France so that more mosquito netting would be in order.</p>
<p align="justify">Airplane and engine manufacturers felt they, too, should get their just profits out of this war. Why not? Everybody else was getting theirs. So $1,000,000,000 – count them if you live long enough – was spent by Uncle Sam in building airplane engines that never left the ground! Not one plane, or motor, out of the billion dollars worth ordered, ever got into a battle in France. Just the same the manufacturers made their little profit of 30, 100, or perhaps 300 per cent.</p>
<p align="justify">Undershirts for soldiers cost 14¢ [cents] to make and uncle Sam paid 30¢ to 40¢ each for them – a nice little profit for the undershirt manufacturer. And the stocking manufacturer and the uniform manufacturers and the cap manufacturers and the steel helmet manufacturers – all got theirs.</p>
<p align="justify">Why, when the war was over some 4,000,000 sets of equipment – knapsacks and the things that go to fill them – crammed warehouses on this side. Now they are being scrapped because the regulations have changed the contents. But the manufacturers collected their wartime profits on them – and they will do it all over again the next time.</p>
<p align="justify">There were lots of brilliant ideas for profit making during the war.</p>
<p align="justify">One very versatile patriot sold Uncle Sam twelve dozen 48-inch wrenches. Oh, they were very nice wrenches. The only trouble was that there was only one nut ever made that was large enough for these wrenches. That is the one that holds the turbines at Niagara Falls. Well, after Uncle Sam had bought them and the manufacturer had pocketed the profit, the wrenches were put on freight cars and shunted all around the United States in an effort to find a use for them. When the Armistice was signed it was indeed a sad blow to the wrench manufacturer. He was just about to make some nuts to fit the wrenches. Then he planned to sell these, too, to your Uncle Sam.</p>
<p align="justify">Still another had the brilliant idea that colonels shouldn't ride in automobiles, nor should they even ride on horseback. One has probably seen a picture of Andy Jackson riding in a buckboard. Well, some 6,000 buckboards were sold to Uncle Sam for the use of colonels! Not one of them was used. But the buckboard manufacturer got his war profit.</p>
<p align="justify">The shipbuilders felt they should come in on some of it, too. They built a lot of ships that made a lot of profit. More than $3,000,000,000 worth. Some of the ships were all right. But $635,000,000 worth of them were made of wood and wouldn't float! The seams opened up – and they sank. We paid for them, though. And somebody pocketed the profits.</p>
<p align="justify">It has been estimated by statisticians and economists and researchers that the war cost your Uncle Sam $52,000,000,000. Of this sum, $39,000,000,000 was expended in the actual war itself. This expenditure yielded $16,000,000,000 in profits. That is how the 21,000 billionaires and millionaires got that way. This $16,000,000,000 profits is not to be sneezed at. It is quite a tidy sum. And it went to a very few.</p>
<p align="justify">The Senate (Nye) committee probe of the munitions industry and its wartime profits, despite its sensational disclosures, hardly has scratched the surface.</p>
<p align="justify">Even so, it has had some effect. The State Department has been studying &quot;for some time&quot; methods of keeping out of war. The War Department suddenly decides it has a wonderful plan to spring. The Administration names a committee – with the War and Navy Departments ably represented under the chairmanship of a Wall Street speculator – to limit profits in war time. To what extent isn't suggested. Hmmm. Possibly the profits of 300 and 600 and 1,600 per cent of those who turned blood into gold in the World War would be limited to some smaller figure.</p>
<p align="justify">Apparently, however, the plan does not call for any limitation of losses – that is, the losses of those who fight the war. As far as I have been able to ascertain there is nothing in the scheme to limit a soldier to the loss of but one eye, or one arm, or to limit his wounds to one or two or three. Or to limit the loss of life.</p>
<p align="justify">There is nothing in this scheme, apparently, that says not more than 12 per cent of a regiment shall be wounded in battle, or that not more than 7 per cent in a division shall be killed.</p>
<p align="justify">Of course, the committee cannot be bothered with such trifling matters.</p>
<p align="justify"> </p>
<p align="justify"><font size="5"><u>CHAPTER THREE</u></font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="7"><u>WHO PAYS THE BILLS?</u></font></p>
<p align="justify">Who provides the profits – these nice little profits of 20, 100, 300, 1,500 and 1,800 per cent? We all pay them – in taxation. We paid the bankers their profits when we bought Liberty Bonds at $100.00 and sold them back at $84 or $86 to the bankers. These bankers collected $100 plus. It was a simple manipulation. The bankers control the security marts. It was easy for them to depress the price of these bonds. Then all of us – the people – got frightened and sold the bonds at $84 or $86. The bankers bought them. Then these same bankers stimulated a boom and government bonds went to par – and above. Then the bankers collected their profits.</p>
<p align="justify">But the soldier pays the biggest part of the bill.</p>
<p align="justify">If you don't believe this, visit the American cemeteries on the battlefields abroad. Or visit any of the veteran's hospitals in the United States. On a tour of the country, in the midst of which I am at the time of this writing, I have visited eighteen government hospitals for veterans. In them are a total of about 50,000 destroyed men – men who were the pick of the nation eighteen years ago. The very able chief surgeon at the government hospital; at Milwaukee, where there are 3,800 of the living dead, told me that mortality among veterans is three times as great as among those who stayed at home.</p>
<p align="justify">Boys with a normal viewpoint were taken out of the fields and offices and factories and classrooms and put into the ranks. There they were remolded; they were made over; they were made to &quot;about face&quot;; to regard murder as the order of the day. They were put shoulder to shoulder and, through mass psychology, they were entirely changed. We used them for a couple of years and trained them to think nothing at all of killing or of being killed.</p>
<p align="justify">Then, suddenly, we discharged them and told them to make another &quot;about face&quot; ! This time they had to do their own readjustment, sans [without] mass psychology, sans officers' aid and advice and sans nation-wide propaganda. We didn't need them any more. So we scattered them about without any &quot;three-minute&quot; or &quot;Liberty Loan&quot; speeches or parades. Many, too many, of these fine young boys are eventually destroyed, mentally, because they could not make that final &quot;about face&quot; alone.</p>
<p align="justify">In the government hospital in Marion, Indiana, 1,800 of these boys are in pens! Five hundred of them in a barracks with steel bars and wires all around outside the buildings and on the porches. These already have been mentally destroyed. These boys don't even look like human beings. Oh, the looks on their faces! Physically, they are in good shape; mentally, they are gone.</p>
<p align="justify">There are thousands and thousands of these cases, and more and more are coming in all the time. The tremendous excitement of the war, the sudden cutting off of that excitement – the young boys couldn't stand it.</p>
<p align="justify">That's a part of the bill. So much for the dead – they have paid their part of the war profits. So much for the mentally and physically wounded – they are paying now their share of the war profits. But the others paid, too – they paid with heartbreaks when they tore themselves away from their firesides and their families to don the uniform of Uncle Sam – on which a profit had been made. They paid another part in the training camps where they were regimented and drilled while others took their jobs and their places in the lives of their communities. The paid for it in the trenches where they shot and were shot; where they were hungry for days at a time; where they slept in the mud and the cold and in the rain – with the moans and shrieks of the dying for a horrible lullaby.</p>
<p align="justify">But don't forget – the soldier paid part of the dollars and cents bill too.</p>
<p align="justify">Up to and including the Spanish-American War, we had a prize system, and soldiers and sailors fought for money. During the Civil War they were paid bonuses, in many instances, before they went into service. The government, or states, paid as high as $1,200 for an enlistment. In the Spanish-American War they gave prize money. When we captured any vessels, the soldiers all got their share – at least, they were supposed to. Then it was found that we could reduce the cost of wars by taking all the prize money and keeping it, but conscripting [drafting] the soldier anyway. Then soldiers couldn't bargain for their labor, Everyone else could bargain, but the soldier couldn't. </p>
<p align="justify">Napoleon once said,</p>
<p align="justify">&quot;All men are enamored of decorations...they positively hunger for them.&quot;</p>
<p align="justify">So by developing the Napoleonic system – the medal business – the government learned it could get soldiers for less money, because the boys liked to be decorated. Until the Civil War there were no medals. Then the Congressional Medal of Honor was handed out. It made enlistments easier. After the Civil War no new medals were issued until the Spanish-American War.</p>
<p align="justify">In the World War, we used propaganda to make the boys accept conscription. They were made to feel ashamed if they didn't join the army.</p>
<p align="justify">So vicious was this war propaganda that even God was brought into it. With few exceptions our clergymen joined in the clamor to kill, kill, kill. To kill the Germans. God is on our side...it is His will that the Germans be killed.</p>
<p align="justify">And in Germany, the good pastors called upon the Germans to kill the allies...to please the same God. That was a part of the general propaganda, built up to make people war conscious and murder conscious.</p>
<p align="justify">Beautiful ideals were painted for our boys who were sent out to die. This was the &quot;war to end all wars.&quot; This was the &quot;war to make the world safe for democracy.&quot; No one mentioned to them, as they marched away, that their going and their dying would mean huge war profits. No one told these American soldiers that they might be shot down by bullets made by their own brothers here. No one told them that the ships on which they were going to cross might be torpedoed by submarines built with United States patents. They were just told it was to be a &quot;glorious adventure.&quot;</p>
<p align="justify">Thus, having stuffed patriotism down their throats, it was decided to make them help pay for the war, too. So, we gave them the large salary of $30 a month.</p>
<p align="justify">All they had to do for this munificent sum was to leave their dear ones behind, give up their jobs, lie in swampy trenches, eat canned willy (when they could get it) and kill and kill and kill...and be killed.</p>
<p align="justify">But wait!</p>
<p align="justify">Half of that wage (just a little more than a riveter in a shipyard or a laborer in a munitions factory safe at home made in a day) was promptly taken from him to support his dependents, so that they would not become a charge upon his community. Then we made him pay what amounted to accident insurance – something the employer pays for in an enlightened state – and that cost him $6 a month. He had less than $9 a month left.</p>
<p align="justify">Then, the most crowning insolence of all – he was virtually blackjacked into paying for his own ammunition, clothing, and food by being made to buy Liberty Bonds. Most soldiers got no money at all on pay days.</p>
<p align="justify">We made them buy Liberty Bonds at $100 and then we bought them back – when they came back from the war and couldn't find work – at $84 and $86. And the soldiers bought about $2,000,000,000 worth of these bonds!</p>
<p align="justify">Yes, the soldier pays the greater part of the bill. His family pays too. They pay it in the same heart-break that he does. As he suffers, they suffer. At nights, as he lay in the trenches and watched shrapnel burst about him, they lay home in their beds and tossed sleeplessly – his father, his mother, his wife, his sisters, his brothers, his sons, and his daughters.</p>
<p align="justify">When he returned home minus an eye, or minus a leg or with his mind broken, they suffered too – as much as and even sometimes more than he. Yes, and they, too, contributed their dollars to the profits of the munitions makers and bankers and shipbuilders and the manufacturers and the speculators made. They, too, bought Liberty Bonds and contributed to the profit of the bankers after the Armistice in the hocus-pocus of manipulated Liberty Bond prices.</p>
<p align="justify">And even now the families of the wounded men and of the mentally broken and those who never were able to readjust themselves are still suffering and still paying.</p>
<p align="justify"> </p>
<p align="justify"><u><font size="5">CHAPTER FOUR</font></u></p>
<u><p align="left"><font size="7">HOW TO SMASH THIS RACKET!</font></p>
<p align="justify"> </p>
<p align="justify"> </p>
</u><p align="justify">WELL, it's a racket, all right.</p>
<p align="justify">A few profit – and the many pay. But there is a way to stop it. You can't end it by disarmament conferences. You can't eliminate it by peace parleys at Geneva. Well-meaning but impractical groups can't wipe it out by resolutions. It can be smashed effectively only by taking the profit out of war.</p>
<p align="justify">The only way to smash this racket is to conscript capital and industry and labor before the nations manhood can be conscripted. One month before the Government can conscript the young men of the nation – it must conscript capital and industry and labor. Let the officers and the directors and the high-powered executives of our armament factories and our munitions makers and our shipbuilders and our airplane builders and the manufacturers of all the other things that provide profit in war time as well as the bankers and the speculators, be conscripted – to get $30 a month, the same wage as the lads in the trenches get.</p>
<p align="justify">Let the workers in these plants get the same wages – all the workers, all presidents, all executives, all directors, all managers, all bankers –</p>
<p align="justify">yes, and all generals and all admirals and all officers and all politicians and all government office holders – everyone in the nation be restricted to a total monthly income not to exceed that paid to the soldier in the trenches!</p>
<p align="justify">Let all these kings and tycoons and masters of business and all those workers in industry and all our senators and governors and majors pay half of their monthly $30 wage to their families and pay war risk insurance and buy Liberty Bonds.</p>
<p align="justify">Why shouldn't they?</p>
<p align="justify">They aren't running any risk of being killed or of having their bodies mangled or their minds shattered. They aren't sleeping in muddy trenches. They aren't hungry. The soldiers are!</p>
<p align="justify">Give capital and industry and labor thirty days to think it over and you will find, by that time, there will be no war. That will smash the war racket – that and nothing else. </p>
<p align="justify">Maybe I am a little too optimistic. Capital still has some say. So capital won't permit the taking of the profit out of war until the people – those who do the suffering and still pay the price – make up their minds that those they elect to office shall do their bidding, and not that of the profiteers.</p>
<p align="justify">Another step necessary in this fight to smash the war racket is the limited plebiscite to determine whether a war should be declared. A plebiscite not of all the voters but merely of those who would be called upon to do the fighting and dying. There wouldn't be very much sense in having a 76-year-old president of a munitions factory or the flat-footed head of an international banking firm or the cross-eyed manager of a uniform manufacturing plant – all of whom see visions of tremendous profits in the event of war – voting on whether the nation should go to war or not. They never would be called upon to shoulder arms – to sleep in a trench and to be shot. Only those who would be called upon to risk their lives for their country should have the privilege of voting to determine whether the nation should go to war.</p>
<p align="justify">There is ample precedent for restricting the voting to those affected. Many of our states have restrictions on those permitted to vote. In most, it is necessary to be able to read and write before you may vote. In some, you must own property. It would be a simple matter each year for the men coming of military age to register in their communities as they did in the draft during the World War and be examined physically. Those who could pass and who would therefore be called upon to bear arms in the event of war would be eligible to vote in a limited plebiscite. They should be the ones to have the power to decide – and not a Congress few of whose members are within the age limit and fewer still of whom are in physical condition to bear arms. Only those who must suffer should have the right to vote.</p>
<p align="justify">A third step in this business of smashing the war racket is to make certain that our military forces are truly forces for defense only.</p>
<p align="justify">At each session of Congress the question of further naval appropriations comes up. The swivel-chair admirals of Washington (and there are always a lot of them) are very adroit lobbyists. And they are smart. They don't shout that &quot;We need a lot of battleships to war on this nation or that nation.&quot; Oh no. First of all, they let it be known that America is menaced by a great naval power. Almost any day, these admirals will tell you, the great fleet of this supposed enemy will strike suddenly and annihilate 125,000,000 people. Just like that. Then they begin to cry for a larger navy. For what? To fight the enemy? Oh my, no. Oh, no. For defense purposes only.</p>
<p align="justify">Then, incidentally, they announce maneuvers in the Pacific. For defense. Uh, huh.</p>
<p align="justify">The Pacific is a great big ocean. We have a tremendous coastline on the Pacific. Will the maneuvers be off the coast, two or three hundred miles? Oh, no. The maneuvers will be two thousand, yes, perhaps even thirty-five hundred miles, off the coast.</p>
<p align="justify">The Japanese, a proud people, of course will be pleased beyond expression to see the united States fleet so close to Nippon's shores. Even as pleased as would be the residents of California were they to dimly discern through the morning mist, the Japanese fleet playing at war games off Los Angeles.</p>
<p align="justify">The ships of our navy, it can be seen, should be specifically limited, by law, to within 200 miles of our coastline. Had that been the law in 1898 the Maine would never have gone to Havana Harbor. She never would have been blown up. There would have been no war with Spain with its attendant loss of life. Two hundred miles is ample, in the opinion of experts, for defense purposes. Our nation cannot start an offensive war if its ships can't go further than 200 miles from the coastline. Planes might be permitted to go as far as 500 miles from the coast for purposes of reconnaissance. And the army should never leave the territorial limits of our nation.</p>
<p align="justify">To summarize: Three steps must be taken to smash the war racket.</p>
<p align="justify">We must take the profit out of war.</p>
<p align="justify">We must permit the youth of the land who would bear arms to decide whether or not there should be war.</p>
<p align="justify">We must limit our military forces to home defense purposes.</p>
<p align="justify"> </p>
<p align="justify"><u><font size="5">CHAPTER FIVE</font></u></p>
<u><p align="left"><font size="7">TO HELL WITH WAR!</font></p>
<p align="justify"> </p>
<p align="justify"> </p>
</u><p align="justify">I am not a fool as to believe that war is a thing of the past. I know the people do not want war, but there is no use in saying we cannot be pushed into another war.</p>
<p align="justify">Looking back, Woodrow Wilson was re-elected president in 1916 on a platform that he had &quot;kept us out of war&quot; and on the implied promise that he would &quot;keep us out of war.&quot; Yet, five months later he asked Congress to declare war on Germany.</p>
<p align="justify">In that five-month interval the people had not been asked whether they had changed their minds. The 4,000,000 young men who put on uniforms and marched or sailed away were not asked whether they wanted to go forth to suffer and die.</p>
<p align="justify">Then what caused our government to change its mind so suddenly?</p>
<p align="justify">Money.</p>
<p align="justify">An allied commission, it may be recalled, came over shortly before the war declaration and called on the President. The President summoned a group of advisers. The head of the commission spoke. Stripped of its diplomatic language, this is what he told the President and his group:</p>
<p align="justify"> </p>
<p align="justify">&quot;There is no use kidding ourselves any longer. The cause of the allies is lost. We now owe you (American bankers, American munitions makers, American manufacturers, American speculators, American exporters) five or six billion dollars.</p>
<p align="justify">If we lose (and without the help of the United States we must lose) we, England, France and Italy, cannot pay back this money...and Germany won't.</p>
<p align="justify">So...&quot;</p>
<p align="justify">Had secrecy been outlawed as far as war negotiations were concerned, and had the press been invited to be present at that conference, or had radio been available to broadcast the proceedings, America never would have entered the World War. But this conference, like all war discussions, was shrouded in utmost secrecy. When our boys were sent off to war they were told it was a &quot;war to make the world safe for democracy&quot; and a &quot;war to end all wars.&quot; </p>
<p align="justify">Well, eighteen years after, the world has less of democracy than it had then. Besides, what business is it of ours whether Russia or Germany or England or France or Italy or Austria live under democracies or monarchies? Whether they are Fascists or Communists? Our problem is to preserve our own democracy.</p>
<p align="justify">And very little, if anything, has been accomplished to assure us that the World War was really the war to end all wars.</p>
<p align="justify">Yes, we have had disarmament conferences and limitations of arms conferences. They don't mean a thing. One has just failed; the results of another have been nullified. We send our professional soldiers and our sailors and our politicians and our diplomats to these conferences. And what happens?</p>
<p align="justify">The professional soldiers and sailors don't want to disarm. No admiral wants to be without a ship. No general wants to be without a command. Both mean men without jobs. They are not for disarmament. They cannot be for limitations of arms. And at all these conferences, lurking in the background but all-powerful, just the same, are the sinister agents of those who profit by war. They see to it that these conferences do not disarm or seriously limit armaments.</p>
<p align="justify">The chief aim of any power at any of these conferences has not been to achieve disarmament to prevent war but rather to get more armament for itself and less for any potential foe.</p>
<p align="justify">There is only one way to disarm with any semblance of practicability. That is for all nations to get together and scrap every ship, every gun, every rifle, every tank, every war plane. Even this, if it were possible, would not be enough.</p>
<p align="justify">The next war, according to experts, will be fought not with battleships, not by artillery, not with rifles and not with machine guns. It will be fought with deadly chemicals and gases.</p>
<p align="justify">Secretly each nation is studying and perfecting newer and ghastlier means of annihilating its foes wholesale. Yes, ships will continue to be built, for the shipbuilders must make their profits. And guns still will be manufactured and powder and rifles will be made, for the munitions makers must make their huge profits. And the soldiers, of course, must wear uniforms, for the manufacturer must make their war profits too.</p>
<p align="justify">But victory or defeat will be determined by the skill and ingenuity of our scientists.</p>
<p align="justify">If we put them to work making poison gas and more and more fiendish mechanical and explosive instruments of destruction, they will have no time for the constructive job of building greater prosperity for all peoples. By putting them to this useful job, we can all make more money out of peace than we can out of war – even the munitions makers.</p>
<p align="justify">So...I say,</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Driver in Tanker Crash Served a Sentence for Drugs]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><em>The driver of a gasoline tanker that overturned early Sunday, sparking a fire that destroyed a vital highway interchange near downtown Oakland, has a criminal record, including a two-year prison sentence for drug possession, the authorities said Tuesday.</em></p>
<p>Lets be clear the people that hold public offices, that sit in our congress, that run our country all of which have been convicted of greater crimes that this guy. The media will try to turn this into another war on drugs. Just like they turned the VT incident into a fucking circus and now gun idiots controls are going to save the armless. </p>
<p>What really effects our country is the bullshit leaders who lie and cheat their way into office. </p>
<p>Jul 30, 2002</p>
<p>The Associated Press <br/><br/>Since the 1970s, more than a dozen congressmen have been convicted in criminal court. Their cases and sentences include: </p>
<p>- Rep. Andrew J. Hinshaw, R-Calif., spent a year in jail after being convicted in 1976 of accepting bribes when he was county tax assessor. He lost the primary election and resigned at the end of his term. </p>
<p>- Rep. Charles Diggs Jr., D-Mich., was convicted in 1978 of operating a payroll kickback scheme in his congressional office. He served seven months of a three-year prison term. He was re-elected, then resigned in 1980. </p>
<p>- Rep. Michael Myers, D-Pa., served 20 1/2 months of a three-year prison sentence for accepting bribes from FBI agents impersonating Arab businessmen. He was convicted in 1980 and expelled from Congress. </p>
- Four other House members were convicted in the Arab businessmen bribery scandal: Democratic Reps. John Murphy of New York, Frank Thompson of New Jersey, John Jenrette of South Carolina and Raymond Lederer of Pennsylvania. Thompson and Murphy were sentenced to three years; Jenrette, two years; and Lederer, one year. <p>- Rep. Mario Biaggi, D-N.Y., was convicted in 1988 of extorting nearly $2 million from defense contractor Wedtech Corp. He resigned from Congress and served two years and two months of an eight-year sentence. He was defeated for re-election in 1992. </p>
<p>- Rep. Mel Reynolds, D-Ill., was sentenced in 1995 to five years in prison for having sex with an underage campaign worker. He resigned from Congress, then was sentenced in 1997 to 6 1/2 years for bank fraud and other violations. The second sentence, which was to run at the same time as first, was commuted in 2001 by President Clinton. </p>
<p>- Rep. Walter Tucker III, D-Calif., was sentenced in 1996 to two years and three months in prison for accepting and demanding bribes while mayor of a Los Angeles suburb. He resigned from Congress a week after his 1995 conviction. </p>
<p>- Rep. Dan Rostenkowski, D-Ill., pleaded guilty in 1996 to two felony mail fraud charges, lost re-election and served 15 months in prison. Clinton pardoned him in 2000. </p>

<title><![CDATA[Corzine leaves hospital and apologizes]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>For the last 18 days Governor jon corzine has been on the news because he was in a car accident. Corzin was sitting in the passenger seat when his vehicle crashed while it as doing 90mph. </p>
<ol>
  <li>Why is he in the passenger seat?</li>
  <li>What was the hurry?</li>
  <li>*Was anyone charged with a crime? Maybe reckless driving? (update)</li>
  <li>Does anyone know that he bought his way into the senate?</li>
</ol>
<p>*Corzine asks for a seatbelt ticket and paid $46 for the fine. Why does he have to ask for a ticket?</p>
<p>No one should care about corzines or his well being, he is a dumb ass and natural selection would have taken care of this if we let it.</p>
<p>First off he is a dumb ass one for not wearing his seat belt. But what I dislike about him more is how he bought his way into the political office. If anything his stupidity should shine the light on how he got elected.</p>
<p><strong>Corzine Shame to Fame</strong></p>
<p>Corzine has only been in the political spectrum since the year 2000. He was elected to the senate in 2000 with a 4% win margin. spent <font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">$62,802,999 </font>of his own money on his campaign, the most expensive Senate campaign in U.S. history — over $35 million of this was spent on the primary election alone, where he ran against former Governor James Florio.</p>
<p>Who needs 60,000,000+ to win an election? A crook? A guy who knows nothing about the senate? A guy who enforces seat belt laws, and yet has not been charged with failure to wear a seat belt.</p>
<p>Corzine works for free. He opted not to take a salary. Uh. rich people who don't need money, do not need to be running our country. I am not sorry, this is a stupid man to be in a position as Governor.</p>
<p>Apology rejected. Quit your job and go back to counting money. There is no use for you.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Donald Trump On Rosie Leaving The View]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Before you go believing the billion dollar shell Trump that Rosie was fired, watch the video below. </p>
<p><embed height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4IrE6FMpai8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425"></embed></p>
<p>As reported everywhere but Fox(shit news), Rosie was asked to tone down some of the ideas she was expressing on the view. The view wants to censor Rosie from expressing her free speech, involving the lie about 9/11 and how most wars are started.</p>
<p>Trump has to protect his investment and his investment and wealth relies on the truth of 9/11, and the federal reserve bank stay in power. All of his wealth is gone when the people of the united states revolt against this tyranny.</p>
<p>Rosie did not quit the view, she left because the elite group of thugs that control all of the media do not need Rosie spreading common sense and historical information in the publics view. They need the dumbed down America to forget that 9/11 was never investigated and that the entire Iraq war was a  lie, no more, no less.</p>
<p>Good luck. 9/11 was a false flag operation that involved our government. Wake up America before it is too late.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Take your fake ass hillbilly Connecticut accent back to new haven and crawl under a rock. Take john kerry, your punk ass cousin, back down to Yale and catch up on some of the skull and bones new member initiations. </p>
<p>Tell your dad, the guys in the CIA said thanks for helping get rid of Kennedy. Mention the good work they put in to make sure that the Kennedy files would not be released until 2025. By then most of everyone that was involved should be dead or old enough to die. </p>
<p>Good job on 9/11. You really know how to manipulate people when it comes to mass fear. Didnt take you long to lie us into Iraq. Wow, with all the evidence against all the lies you've shit, its a wonder the American people haven't realized. </p>
<p>Thanks for setting a great example for the sell outs to come. The presidents of the future should have no problem defying congress or the people with the ground work you have laid down.</p>

<title><![CDATA[George Bush Is A Great Dictator]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><em>A sudden withdrawal of US troops from Iraq would be an &quot;unforgivable mistake&quot; that could spread chaos across the Middle East, President George W. Bush warned Tuesday.</em></p>
<p>And george bush has what to backup that anything he says is not a lie? The liars of all liars again repeats what he always does to make people feel bad about not supporting his lies. </p>
<p><em>Mr Bush on Tuesday renewed his promise to veto the bill because of its inclusion of withdrawal dates, which, he said, would &quot;embolden our enemies and confirm their belief that America is weak&quot;.</em></p>
<p>America is weak because it is not in the streets protesting this illegal ass war of lies. America is weak because its president is a dictator. America is weak because george bush is a fucking idiot who has no background that qualifies him to be president, the executive officer of the military. America is weak, mainly because of the military industrial complex that has taken over as the main employer for American people. America is weak because george bush stole the election and never gave it back. America is weak because the people entrusted to protect it, sold it out many years ago. Hey bush, fuck you.</p>
<p>George Bush is a dictator. The United States of America has a separation of powers so that one fucking idiot can not ruin an entire country. Yet Bush is still on his way to doing just that. </p>
<p>You see dumb ass (george bush) when people do not like what you are doing, or are tired of your lies, they go against all the bullshit you have been saying. Meaning that just because you think you know that pulling out of iraq is a bad idea, seeing that all of your ideas a dumb as fuck, pulling out against your will sounds like a good thing.</p>
<p>I can not get over the times. We live in a time where the president, vice president, and the dumb fucks they have around them, are willing to break any law to further their cause of taking American values and replacing them with federal reserve notes. George Bush wants to control every aspect of our government. So far since he stole the 2000 election, he has been one of the most obvious examples of what happens to a country when very bad people take over.</p>
<p>Would you like to support the troops? Bring them home now, bring them home alive, so they can share the real stories of the shit the news never reports and lies they are forced to cover up. </p>
<p>Fuck you george bush, you too dick, and that goes for all of you other traitors who will sell American soldiers lives for profits in your companies.</p>
<p>Who started the Iraq war lie? The same rich pricks who sit on the board of directors of the large energy companies, media companies and banks. The richest people in the world sit on board of directors for banks, the news/media, and oil companies. There is where you find the root of all evil.</p>
<p>I can not buy what I want because it is free. </p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Military Covers Up Tillmans Death]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/21/us/21tillman.html">The investigation</a> of Tillmans death clearly shows that high ranking military officials tried to covered up the reason Officer Tillman was killed. </p>
<p>The military cut off the phones and internet. One soldier was told to burn his cloths. </p>
<p>“He wanted me alone to burn what was in the bag to prevent security violations, leaks and rumors,” the staff sergeant testified. Corporal Tillman’s uniform, socks, gloves and body armor were placed in a 55-gallon drum and burned.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Google Buys Spyware Starter]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Google just bought doubleclick. Doubleclick is one of the main reasons why 9 out of 10 machines have spyware. I wrote about this a while back <a href="/andy/article/2423.html">here</a>.</p>
<p>Do you remember surfing the web back in the late 90's early 2000, and you would go to a website and an advertisment would try to install some type of software. Over and over and over it would try to install it. And even if you installed the software, it would continue to ask you to install it over and over and over again?</p>
<p>That was doubleclick. Money is the root of all evil. It also elects the president of the united states. </p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[McCain - Death is funny, dead soldiers are a joke]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>John McCain can take his un patriotic attempt at humor and shove it up his ass. Some moron at a forum with McCain asks a question, &quot;When are we goign to bomb Iran&quot;. McCain replies, &quot;You know that beach boys song Bomb Iran&quot;. McCain goes on to sing &quot;Bomb Iran, bomb, bomb Iran.&quot;.</p>
<p>News flash for war mongering idiot congressman, the Iraq war has been proved to be a big fucking lie. The same lying assholes who made up all the bullshit about Iraq are the same ones saying we need to go to war with Iran. </p>
<p>The bombing of Iran means we are at work with Iran. Is that funny? Is that something to joke about? McCain is running or president. Is this all we have left in this country? Elite power tripped pricks show boating our young soldiers to fight wars around the world to fill the money pockets of the assholes who lied to get them there?</p>
<p>The whole country breaks down and shuts down for a 33 person massacre. And yet by the hundreds die in Iraq every day, and somehow those lives seem lesser. Over 650,000 lives. </p>
<p>George Bush mocked his self at a conference saying, &quot;theres no weapons of mass destruction over here, none over there&quot;. Our leaders are mocking war and death. And these are the assholes that are to hold an office that George Washington or Abraham Lincoln held? These are not leaders they are pocket fillers. Who profits and makes money from war? Not you or me. Money from the people is shifted to the Military Industrial Complex. </p>
<p>The united states is one big military. We are losing all our jobs over seas, we do not produce our own goods anymore. We import from everywhere and our leaders give our jobs away to cheap illegal labor from south the border. Do they care about the border? Well even after the 9/11 lie, they do nothing about the border. Americans are losing their jobs and they still do nothing about the border. The government does not give a shit about you.</p>
<p>So singing a beach boys song in the tune of Bomb Iran is really funny McCain, so funny i think a couple of soldiers just died today in Iraq. You remember Iraq don't you? We are still there. You are still supporting an administration that lies from every orifice it has.</p>
<p>You are not a patriot, and you are not president material. The united states has not had a real president for some time. And it is starting to show, the country grows tired of this bullshit war mongering lying ass president and a lame ass congress who has failed the people it is suppose to protect.</p>
<p>McCain drop out of the race and take that suck ass Guliani with you. </p>

<title><![CDATA[Bush Thinks Terrorists Are Stupid]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Some report that terrorist are smarter than most give credit for. George Bush thinks that terrorist will not be able to find there way to the USA if we stay in Iraq. You know how he spits it, &quot;If we don't fight them where they live, we will have to fight them where we live.&quot;</p>
<p>9/11 was a lie, that is why they had to get rid of <a href="http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/89728-0">Imus</a>. They really want Rosie to stop talking about 9/11 on the view, they sure wish they could get her fired soon.</p>

<title><![CDATA[The IRS & The Federal Income Tax]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>If you worked for the IRS, and someone called in asking for a regulation or a statute that shows legal proof of the federal income tax, you would think that would be something they could tell you. </p>
<p>Today for the second time I called the IRS and I asked the people there can you please tell me the regulation or statute law defining that you (the irs) can tax my money? The first lady put me on hold and the second lady humored my time for about 40 minutes. Eventually the phone call ended and the IRS is to call me or mail to me the underlining legal section of title 26 of the US code that states the IRS can tax my income on a federal level. I will surely post anything they send me in the mail. </p>
<p>I have recorded the phone call and it does not have anything special in it other than the person at the IRS using the IRS website to find an answer to my question. For over 40 minutes she is looking around through the regulations and the statutes looking for the law.</p>
<p>On a previous phone call to the IRS, I spoke with a gentleman who put me on hold for close to half an hour. He was looking for the same law I questioned above. When he got back on the phone, he told me that he could not tell me the law over the phone, and that I would have to write the IRS and then have them respond. That could take up to 6 weeks he said.</p>
<p>Here it is a couple days before the deadline, and the IRS can not tell me where to find that law that says they can tax my income. Why should I file if they can not show the law? </p>
<p>The constitution says the federal government can not impose a direct tax on the American people unless the direct tax is apportioned to all the states of the union. Meaning that the states with larger populations would pay more of the federal income tax than other smaller states. </p>
<p>The Federal income tax is not apportioned.</p>
<p>Call the IRS and ask them to tell you where the statute or regulation is that allows the federal government to tax what they say is your income. See what they tell you. Then ask yourself why they need to put you on hold. Of all the laws the IRS people should know when they are being trained, is the specific law / statute or regulation that gives the federal government the right to tax your income.</p>
<p>Here is the IRS number. Call them, do your civic duty. Question your government. Toll-Free, 1-800-829-1040. </p>
<p><strong>Federal Reserve Act.</strong></p>
<p>The federal reserve act was passed on December 23, 1913. When was the last time you knew that congress was in session passing bills in midst of the Christmas season? </p>
<p>It is time for a revolution.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[More Of Bush's Bullshit]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Not only is george bush a complete dumb ass, he surrounds himself with dumb people. Every error Bush has made about everything during his false presidency goes into the unaccounted column. </p>
<p>Bush surrounds himself with people that should be fired or have already left the administration. Paul Wolfowitz who is the president of the world bank crooks was appointed by george bush. Donald rumsfeld was appointed by george bush, and roberto gonzalez was appointed by bush.</p>
<p>The bush administration is surrounded with crooks who break the constitution to make George bush's treason crimes go unpunished. Paul Wolfowitz, who is also a high ranking member in the <a href="http://www.newamericancentury.org/">Project for a new american century</a>, gave his lover at the world bank generous compensation and pay raises.</p>
<p>Way off topic rant.</p>
<p>When something brings out a problem with the bush regime, they need more secrecy with information or they lost it or 9/11. Excuse after excuse after excuse. There is no excuse for shitting on the constitution and then saying we had to because of 9/11. That 9/11 shit is for the birds and for the people afraid of the truth.</p>
<p>The truth? The Truth is bush and idiots are more worried about borders of countries all over the world except the one closest to home. They lie and keep information secret about the reasons for war. The united states of America is the biggest threat the world has ever known. </p>
<p>These days the only super power left in the world elects its democracy by which candidates can raise the most money. Does that sound like a democracy? Is that what the rest of the world is so eager for us to spread to them? The ability for their elections to be bought and paid for by corporations?</p>
<p>This country is not about the people anymore. Its about what our big stupid fucking government wants to take control of, Other countries, our money, our freedom, our way of life. </p>
<p><strong>No one gives a shit.</strong></p>
<p>The American people do not give a shit that their country is run by dictators and that the elections are rigged and paid for. That is why our government walks all over us. That is why they take your freedoms and post it on the front page of the news and broadcast it nightly to the sheeple behind the night time desks.</p>
<p>Do you want to depend on the government for everything? Do you want them to be in your life everyday with colors telling you how afraid you should be today? Are you more than a social security number? Are you a slave and you dont even know it? </p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Root of All Evil Elects Your President]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Ask anyone from almost any generation,What is the root of all evil? Money. Especially the American dollar. If Americans knew how the federal reserve was in-trusted to slowing  bleed the money out of the country, there would be a revolution tomorrow. </p>
<p>To stay on track, we are talking about record number contribution totals. Combined these candidates have put together over 120 million dollars. Obama and clinton both raise 25-26 million. </p>
<p>Is this what our country has come to? The greatest country in the world is bought and paid for by special interest, corporations. Is this what the greatest country in the world does? Every election in this free country comes down to who can raise the most millions? </p>
<p>Do the people funneling millions of dollars into these campaigns want anything in return? The president has a salary of $400,000. What is all of that money going to? To pay off our system, to fix our system so that the people with the most have the most power. In reality the people have all the power. The false sense of power through government jobs and money is the root of all evil. And that is what our country's new past time. </p>
<p>Its election time in America, get out your wallet and wait for more of your freedoms to be sold down the terror drain. Welcome to America.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Free Speech Is Not For The Weak]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>When the founding fathers made free speech part of the bill of rights, it was not intended to protect news programs from talking about celebrity hair cuts. It was intended to protect those who do not hear and repeat everything they hear on the news. It was intended for free minds to express themselves and have it as a given right. </p>
<p>This country was founded on the principle of being able to speak out against your government when you believe they are not doing something that is right.Sometimes this involves issues that some people find hard to discuss. Unfortunately no matter how painful it is to discuss, it is apart of evolution, going on, finding whats wrong and fixing it. Just because some people can not handle the discussion, does not mean that the situation is not discussed. </p>
<p>Everyone who survived 9/11 is a victim too. We have all been told by our government that we were attacked by people who don't like our freedoms and want to destroy our way of life. Since 9/11 the real threat to our way of life has come by restrictions on our inalienable rights to freedom. Those restriction came from our government. Not the terrorist. You can not blame terrorist for our government taking our freedoms away.</p>
<p>Since 9/11 the border is the same and instead of trying to find bin laden, they go to war with Iraq over a bunch of lies. </p>
<p>They don't care about bin laden. Bin laden is better off to them alive. A scare tactic. </p>
<p>Freedom of speech is not for the weak minds who think inside a box. Free speech is in the constitution and until it is removed you can kiss my ass.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Should Joe Scarborough Be Fired And Investigated?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Which Republican U.S. Congressman had a dead aide found in his office while the media was hounding Democrat U.S. Congressman Gary Condit about his missing ex-intern, Chandra Levy?</p>
<p>Joe Scarborough has recently entertained his guest with the question, should Rosie be fired? Joe asks the question because apparently the 2nd amendment is in jeopardy. Recently Rosie has come out asking questions about the questions that the 9/11 commission failed to answer. In turn, Joe doesn't think Rosie has the 2nd amendment privilege of speaking her mind.</p>
<p>If you wonder why an ex congressman has a problem with free speech, maybe we should take a trip down memory lane. To a time before 9/11.</p>
<p><strong>Joes Dead Aide</strong></p>
<p><img align="left" border="0" height="262" src="/userFiles/andy/politics/a_condit_i.jpg" width="195"/>In June of 2001 you might recall seeing Gary Condit photo all over the news. It was at this time he was under investigation and was asked a lot of questions. A lot of things about condits relationships with other women did come out, however the investigation as to the disappearance of Chanrda Levy was not pinned on him and to this date is still an unsolved case.</p>
<p>Which brings me back to Joe Scarborough. Joe use to be a congressman in the First District in Florida. From 1994 to sep 2001, joe held the congressional position. </p>
<p>But what you will find in very few places in the world are the confirmed reports that on June 20, 2001 Lori Klausutis a 28 year old congressional aid was found dead in Joe Scarboroughs Ft. Walton Beach office. She was found dead around 8a.m. central time. </p>
<p>Chandra Levy was missing, Lori Klausutis is dead, which congressman was under investigation? Condit was over the missing Levy even though Klausutis is dead in Scorboroghs office.</p>
<p>Joe Scarborough sent a cease and desist order to <a href="http://www.allhatnocattle.net/congressman_joe_scarborough.htm%20">this</a> website. </p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">September 1, 2001 (APJP) -- Over at The American Prospect's message board thread concerning this very article, Phoenix Woman has asked a trolling Scarborough &quot;defender&quot; three pivotal questions.  We'd love to know the answers ourselves:</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">1) If Lori's death was just a simple accident, then why did Rep. Scarborough and his spokesman Miguel Serrano feel the need to go to two different local TV stations within three hours of her body's being found and invent a nonexistent history of chronic medical conditions for<br/>her -- in other words, why did they feel the need to lie about Lori's health?</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">2) Would you trust without question the word of a Medical Examiner who lost his ME license in two separate states (Missouri and Florida) because he LIED about his autopsy work (for instance, saying he had autopsied some brains when he hadn't)?</font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">3) Why should whoever wrote Ms. Klausutis's obituary feel it was appropriate to mention nearly everything about her life -- EXCEPT where she'd been working since 1999? </font></p>
<p><strong>Joe's Hipocracy</strong></p>
<p>Joe should know that we live in a free country. People can ask questions with their own free will. Rosie as an American, has every right to ask. Seeing that Joe had a dead aid in his office, might raise some questions, those questions should be asked. As a congressman by default you are held to a higher standard. If joe doesn't like free speech, he should be fired. If Joe has a problem with his past he wants to keep covered up, he should not gag order websites that offer information every other news paper in the country decided to not report.</p>

<title><![CDATA[The Ultimate Dumbass]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>First off bill orielly, no matter how many peopled died on 9/11, i still have my right to speak my voice and so does everyone else. Do not confuse the America's emotions around 9/11 to the fact that we still want answerers. If someone lost a family member on 9/11, that does not mean that the rest of the world can not question a lying government. It does not silence the opposition. </p>
<p>Because we people still here after 9/11 are losing more of our bill of rights. And the more dip shits like bill orielly that define what my free speech because of the lives lost that day, maybe you should think about the rest of us that are still living in this indicted firm you call a presidential administration. </p>
<p>Bill orielly says that rosie odonell is hurting people with her speaking out about how she feels. Bill goes on to say its unfair that she has a large platform discuss her platform. What a cry baby. Its not about left and right when it comes to the truth. The left just like the right will cover anything up to save their own ass. How many people other than bill orielly need the official 9/11 lie to be true? Mostly everyone you see on tv.</p>
<p>It seems to me that these shows attacking rosie odonell and free speech are very scared. Rosie is now able to talk about 9/11 truth to millions of millions of viewers. That is scaring the shit out of all the cover up lambs in the media. Why?</p>
<p>Lets say you are an American citizen. And years have went by and you finally know that 9/11 was an inside job, Kennedy was killed by the bush's, the federal reserve is a debt based banking system shifting money away from people into large banks, and that all wars are for profit. How happy are you going to be with bill orielly, sean hannity, and the other media idiots that have told you over and over that there is absolutely no evidence that 9/11 was and inside job. When really that statement should read, there is absolutely no evidence that al queda had anything to do with 9/11. </p>
<p>America started a revolution over less shit than this. And with all the major media sell outs, Americans are as dumb to current events as to Bush for following the constitution.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[The View Talking About Real Issues]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>As of recent fox news and msnbc have been on a journey to destroy the truth that rosie odonell is talking about. After watching the view the past few days, I have to say that the dialog and open discussions they have about real events has more value than all the shows on fox and msnbc combined. </p>
<p>A lot of facts that rosie brings up in her debates on the view are shared by history scholars and documented evidence. What is more obvious to point out is the attack dogs that have been sent out to tell rosie she does not have the right to speak her opinion. And that since people on 9/11 died, no one can discuss that day in detail.</p>
<p>Let us be very clear. Many of the widows of 9/11 do not believe the official story and are still grinding away to get answers to some questions they have been trying to get answered for 5 or more years.</p>
<p>A lot of the attack dogs going after rosie make fun of her for being fat and being a lesbian. What does that have to do with the subject at hand? It is an old trick to not discuss the real issue, instead make personal attacks on someone that are in no way constructive. If people are sitting around trying to talk about the issue, and the only thing they can come up with is that rosie is a fat lesbian, what kind of a debate is that? It is not.</p>
<p>Below are some links to the attack dogs on the main stream media that have no real argument against rosie, other than personal attacks.</p>
<p>Joe Scarboro<br/><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pYesEy5GgI">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pYesEy5GgI</a></font></p>
<p>Sean Hannity - This guy would vote for a sheep if it was a republican running for president. Sean hannity really believes that democrats will allow terrorist attacks.<br/><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggoUmtJERTI">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggoUmtJERTI</a></font></p>
<p>Bill Orielly attack on Rosie -<br/><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBEN7zPqJmQ">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBEN7zPqJmQ</a><br/><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67xRQ1TI8D0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67xRQ1TI8D0</a></font></font></p>
<p>All of these attack dogs need the official 9/11 theory to keep their jobs. If the American people find out how the media has been lying to them this entire time, someone might want to go beat the shit out of them. Do not worry, their time is coming, America the real great giant is beginning to wake up.</p>
<p>Its time for a revolution.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[The Real Reason Why Gonzalez is Firing Prosecutors]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://prisonplanet.com/audio/260307corsi.mp3" target="_blank">Click here</a> to listen to Corsi's interview on The Alex Jones Show.</p>
<p><em><span class="mediumtext1">Paul Joseph Watson<br/></span></em>Journalist Jerome Corsi appeared on the Alex Jones Show today to discuss in depth his astounding new investigation that implicates both Alberto Gonzales and U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton in the cover-up of a pedophilia scandal involving the Texas Youth Commission.</p>
<div align="left"><div align="left"><div align="left"><div align="left"><div align="left"><div align="left"><div align="left"><div align="left"><div align="left"><div align="left"><div align="left"><div align="left"><p>&quot;Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, both already under siege for other matters, are now being accused of failing to prosecute officers of the Texas Youth Commission after a Texas Ranger investigation documented that guards and administrators were sexually abusing the institution's minor boy inmates,&quot; writes Corsi in a report for <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=54861" target="_blank">World Net Daily</a>.</p>
<p>&quot;Among the charges in the Texas Ranger report were that administrators would rouse boys from their sleep for the purpose of conducting all-night sex parties.&quot;</p>
<p>A 2005 investigation led by Texas Ranger Brian Burzynski revealed that systematic abuse of minors was commonplace at West Texas State School in Pyote, Texas. Burzynski presented the findings of the investigation to both Gonzales and Sutton but was rebuffed, and even received a letter from Sutton's office that attempted to legitimize the sexual abuse of children, claiming that &quot;under 18 U.S.C. Section 242,&quot; it would have to be demonstrated &quot;that the boys subjected to sexual abuse sustained &quot;bodily injury,&quot; states the letter from Bill Baumann, assistant U.S. attorney in Sutton's office.</p>
<p>Incredulously, Baumann's letter goes on to make the case that the minors consented to and even enjoyed the acts of pedophilia, therefore no further action was necessary.</p>

<p>In September 2005, the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division also refused to follow up with a prosecution.</p>
<p>According to Corsi, officials implicated in the scandal were hired despite their known criminal backgrounds and were also retained even after it was discovered that they were using state computers to regularly visit pornography websites.</p>
<p>&quot;It basically sounds as if you wouldn't get hired in one of these facilities unless you were a pedophile,&quot; Corsi told the Alex Jones Show.</p>
<p>&quot;You've got a culture of pedophilia that is at the core of the Texas Youth Commission, and what that means is you won't get hired or you won't stay as an employee unless you're willing to participate in the boy rape that's going on or keep quiet about it.&quot;</p>
<p>Corsi says he has further developments to report tomorrow that confirm the scandal is &quot;Now known to be widespread, all the offices of the Texas Youth Commission throughout the state are involved and employees from the top to the bottom are all involved.&quot;</p>

<title><![CDATA[Microsoft Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 6000]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img align="right" border="0" height="150" src="/userFiles/andy/microsoft/microsoft_wireless_notebook_laser_mouse_6000_2.jpg" width="200"/>The battery usage of this mouse is great and it takes one double a batter. There is no light on the laser which is nice. The usb receiver attaches to the bottom of the mouse. This is less efficient than some logitech mice that hide the receiver inside the mouse.</p>
<p>What I dislike the most is the scroll when between the two mouse buttons. I don't know if mine is defect, the scroll wheel has no resistances and is in free spin. Even after I set the mouse options to scroll one line at a time, it is still too fast.</p>
<p>After installing the Microsoft intelipoint the scroll wheel is not as bad as before, still not good enough to use after the new logitech revolution arrives.</p>
<p>In conclusion the mouse is great overall other than the wheel mouse that free scrolls. I need a better wheel than this to function. Not a keeper.</p>]]></description>

All of these illegal secret wars on democratic governments with elected officials.

<title><![CDATA[Gerald Posner and Bo Dietl Support Terrorist]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Recently bill orielly had gerald posner and bo dietl on his show to discredit charlie sheen for narrating a 9/11 truth movie that the owner of the mavericks want to give out to people. Throughout <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eezqu68XVqE">this</a> segment Bill brings on two guest who both agree with him about his view of 9/11. </p>
<p><img align="left" border="0" height="269" src="/userFiles/andy/rants/geraldposner.gif" width="408"/>Gerald Posner wrote a book called &quot;why America slept&quot;. This guys point of view means nothing seeing that he thinks that America was sleeping when 9/11 was happening. In fact its was more like the government was sleeping and Americans were up watching the event on the TV. Second off Posner and Dietl repeat what about the families and the victims and the fire fighters?</p>
<p>What about the family members that did not have their questions answered by the 9/11 commission? What about the families? They made a documentary how 9/11 was an inside job. There are a lot of interviews from fire fighters describing controlled demolition and bombs in the towers. Yeah what about them? What about the dieing first responders who entered the most toxic air imagined however our government told them it was safe.</p>
<p>These idiots at fox rely on the 9/11 official theory because they need their jobs and they need money. </p>
<p>Have you ever watched bill orielly have guests on that he agrees with completely? There was more than one guest and he offers no objective journalism. Why? He is not a journalist, he spreads propaganda. The same thing he accuses of the truth movement, he and fox do everyday. </p>
<p>Think about this, Tony Snow once had a show on fox and had been in news for some time. Now he is the press secretary to the President. Think of how well he has to be able to bullshit to make george bush sound good to the press. And he worked for fox news.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Bush vows to veto Iraq pull-out bill]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Earth to Bush, America knows the war was a lie. They voted to oppose your idea of nation building. If congress wants to put conditions on our tax dollars, I think they have the power invested in them too. Bush has pushed around plenty of illegal powers in the public forum. Bush is guilty of treason.</p>
<p>George Bush will sacrifice your life to better off his friends, himself, and especially the money hounds at the federal reserve bank. Using our tax dollars plus the interest on what they borrow.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Sean Hannity is a dumb ass]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>When Sean Hannity speaks he wastes air, turns it into co2? Is he causing global warming? Sean Hannity doesn't know shit about anything and I would debate him on 9/11 any day of any week. He knows nothing about any of the shit he talks. Since he is a self expressed republican, he subscribes to the paradox that all Republicans are good for the country and all democrats will invite terrorist. </p>
<p>Sean Hannity does not care about anything other than keeping his job which involves feeding a bunch of bullshit to people that have weak minded ideas. Just like most news commentators, they do not reference the history into the context of what has happened. The news is not about knowledge it is about forgetting and burying the truth. The simple truth that America is not a perfect country and is far from it. So far from it that the united states does not need to force its beliefs on the rest of the world by killing other country's citizens and calling them casualties of war.</p>
<p>Sean Hannity can go to hell. His life is a waste. If he is considered a journalist, then its no wonder the people that watch and believe what he says are just as lost and simple minded as he is. </p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[A Sign The Iraq War Is A Joke]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Baghdad - Former Iraqi vice president Taha Yassin Ramadan was executed early Tuesday four years after the US-led invasion of Iraq, al-Iraqiya television reported quoting government officials.</p>
<p>Ramadan, who served in former leader Saddam Hussein's regime, was sentenced to death on February 12 for his role in the 1982 killing of 148 Shiites in Dujail, after a failed attempt on Saddam's life. </p>
<p>That is the text from <a href="http://news.monstersandcritics.com/middleeast/news/article_1279918.php/Former_Iraqi_vice_president_Ramadan_executed__1st_Lead_">this</a> article. What was Saddam Hussein tried for? He was hung for his role in the 1982 killings 148 people, torture of women and children and the illegal arrest of 399 others.</p>
<p>Forgive me if I am wrong but he was the president of the country and someone tried to kill him. He is the president, maybe he knew who it was.</p>
<p>Did we invade Iraq because the had weapons of mass destruction? No, that was a lie. Did we go there because it would make America safer? No, its obvious the terror nest makes us less safe. Did we go to war because Saddam Hussein in his own country killed some people in relation to an attempt on his life? Is it possible to think that the 148 people in this incident compare anything to a full fledge war against a country in the middle of unrest and oil?</p>
<p>How is it possible with the smartest and brightest people on the planet, does an entire country get drug into a war made up of lie after lie. The cost of this war will bury this nation into the greatest debt at the cost of people who choose to not to learn from history. Money is made in war and all wars have helped the USA economy. </p>
<p>George Bush once told the press he reads a book everyday. Do you think that is the truth? Do you think he reads everyday? The ousting of CIA agents from the VP office. Fired federal prosecutors. Gag order on secret trials. Secret military trials where suspects confess to all the major crimes of recent history. Illegal phone tapping, watching Americans foreign bank accounts. The removal of habeas corpus. And this same administration, this same group of ideologist are explaining to you 9/11. Selling you a story that you have you don't have to believe. That just have to tell you. You know this because the official story is bogus by thought. </p>
<p>9/11 is the excuse for anything and everything. On both sides of the political spectrum it will be forever used as the reason to do anything. </p>
<p>Why the 9/11 official story is for dumb people.</p>
<p>In order for you to believe what happen to the 3 sky scrappers that fell that day, you have to remove the laws of physics and the laws of nature for a day. Then after 9/11 go back to using those fundamentals of how things work. </p>
<p>Buildings do not offer the same amount resistance than air. Random fire can not cause a  building to collapse like a controlled demolition.</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Rosie O'Donnell Goes Public On 9/11]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>It has been evident for a number of weeks now that talk show host Rosie O'Donnell has been trying to cover 9/11 truth in the best way she can without being yanked off the air - now her latest blog posting confirms this. </p>
<p align="left">In her latest blog, dated March 15th, O'Donnell dispenses with the small talk and gets to the nub of the matter by stating some of the facts surrounding the demolition of building 7 on 9/11. </p>
<p align="left">Here is the <a href="http://www.rosie.com/blog/2007/03/15/wtc-7/">Blog entry</a> in full: </p>
<p align="left"><em>at 5 30 pm<br/>9 11 2001<br/>wtc7 collapsed</em> </p>
<p><em>for the third time in history<br/>fire brought down a steel building<br/>reducing it to rubble</em></p>
<p><em>hold on folks<br/>here we go </em></p>
<p><em>• The fires in WTC 7 were not evenly distributed, so a perfect collapse was impossible.<br/>• Silverstein said to the fire department commander “the smartest thing to do is pull it.”<br/>• Firefighters withdrawing from the area stated the building was going to “blow up”.<br/>• The roof of WTC 7 visibly crumbled and the building collapsed perfectly into its footprint.<br/>• Molten steel and partially evaporated steel members were found in the debris.</em></p>
<p><em>[WTC 7] contained offices of the FBI, Department of Defense, IRS (which contained prodigious amounts of corporate tax fraud, including Enron’s), US Secret Service, Securities &amp; Exchange Commission (with more stock fraud records), and Citibank’s Salomon Smith Barney, the Mayor’s Office of Emergency Management and many other financial institutions. [Online Journal]</em></p>
<p><em>The SEC has not quantified the number of active cases in which substantial files were destroyed [by the collapse of WTC 7]. Reuters news service and the Los Angeles Times published reports estimating them at 3,000 to 4,000. They include the agency’s major inquiry into the manner in which investment banks divvied up hot shares of initial public offerings during the high-tech boom. …”Ongoing investigations at the New York SEC will be dramatically affected because so much of their work is paper-intensive,” said Max Berger of New York’s Bernstein Litowitz Berger &amp; Grossmann. “This is a disaster for these cases.” [New York Lawyer]</em></p>
<p><em>Citigroup says some information that the committee
