The war on terror and the war on freedom are nonpartisan issues. Both Democrats and Republicans alike have consistently voted for legislation that, through the illusion of protecting our families and our homeland, have actually removed critical components of the U.S. Constitution. Will the Democrat’s new FISA Spy Bill be any different?

Recent surveys show that American voters have a critical view of how things are going in the country, and that they are confident that the next American President will have the power to change much of what is wrong. Voters begin this election year with a grim assessment of the status quo. Roughly three-fourths say the country is on “the wrong track.”

As my book "THE CSIS: THE GESTAPO OF CANADA", is in fact a treatise on Scientific Economics, I have asked my publisher to hold its printing for a few weeks. I have a great responsibility to be accurate and clear in my exposure of this new technology.

PARDON MY LAUGHTER AND CYNICISM: MISCELLANEOUS OBSERVATIONS ON THE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES, AMERICA’S GREAT POLITICAL CIRCUS

Americans are the only people I know who believe their own propaganda.

Captain Eric H. May, the Internet intelligence writer, offers fresh insight on the assassination of Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan. He poses an all-important question for Americans: if presidential candidate Dr. Ron Paul also in the crosshairs?

With her proposed Québécois Identity Bill, the new Parti Québécois leader Pauline Marois has shown that there is no limit to how low she will stoop to get back in power--even hunting for support on the ADQ's terrain and leaping into racist and xenophobic manure. After several days of debate in which she did her best to defend her infamous Bill, the Lady of Île Bizard [1] once again tried to justify herself during the November 4 PQ commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the death of its former leader René Lévesque.

The incident unfolding in Makati City today is not surprising. It is a logical conclusion to the abuses committed by the Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (GMA) administration, from the dismissal of the impeachment complaint to the clamp down of democratic and constitutional processes.

This is the editorial of the latest edition of El Libertario (Venezuela, #51, November 2007, now available -in spanish- in www.nodo50.org/ellibertario) in which this mouthpiece of Venezuelan Anarchism set outs its position with regard to the Constitutional Reforms which the current Government seeks to impose on this country.

HIS ULTIMATUM TO THE OPPOSITION BEFORE THE SPEECH OF THE THRONE IS READ, PROVES THAT HE WANTS AN ELECTION IMMEDIATELY, BEFORE THE LIBERAL PARTY HAS TIME TO RECOVER FROM THE BY-ELECTIONS IN QUEBEC.

SINCE I AM A CANADIAN CITIZEN I HAVE VOTED NDP OUT OF RESPECT FOR TOMMY DOUGLAS WHO, IN MY OPINION, WAS THE STATESMAN OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY IN CANADA. IN 1973 WHEN I RESIGNED FROM STELCO BECAUSE OF A BREACH OF CONTRACT I DEMANDED TO BE TRANSFERRED BACK TO MONTREAL AT THE COST OF STELCO. THE VICE-PRESIDENT LAUGHED AT ME. I WROTE TO MR. DOUGLAS WHO ACCUSED RECEPTION AND NOTHING MORE. 15 DAYS LATER I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE VICE-PRESIDENT INFORMING ME THAT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAD REVIEWED MY CONTRACT AND THEY HAD AGREED TO PAY ME A SEVERANCE OF THREE MONTHS AS FINAL COMPENSATION. THE CHECK WAS INCLUDED.

IT IS SIMPLER TO BELIEVE A CONVENIENT LIE THAN TO FACE AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH. HARPER IS AN ASTUTE OPPORTUNIST THAT MAKES LYING HIS STRATEGY TO FOOL MOST OF US MOST OF THE TIME. WE MUST LISTEN TO WILLIAMS AND JOIN HIS ABC CLUB.

The President's call for reconciliation is hollow and vacuous in the face of loose ends left hanging beyond the May 2007 elections and the adjournment of the 13th Congress.

"A victory for democracy", "the French people have rediscovered the path to the polling booth", "the workers renew their ties to the government(al) parties", these are some of the comments which demonstrate the bliss of the media with the result of the first round of the elections. Beyond partisan contingencies, bourgeois political commentators are resoundingly joyful that the increasing tendency towards abstention and the discrediting of the political system which has been increasing for years underwent a "crushing rebuttal".

Thousands of workers from the Alliance of Progressive Labor (APL) and the Confederation of Independent Unions (CIU) gathered in MetroManila, Lipa, Cebu, Davao City, Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro City,Zamboanga City and Cotabato City to commemorate the 104th International Labor Day, urging other workers to support candidateswho would vow to unearth the truth behind the 'Hello Garci' controversy.
