Cheer Tossing of Pledge of Allegiance
Three cheers for the 9th Circuit 2 to 1 decision throwing out the fascist, religious Pledge of Allegiance as it clearly violates the Constitutionally-mandated separation of Church and State with its "under god" addition by Congress in 1954 during the last fascist era. While this decision will probably be overturned, we must loudly and clearly applaud this outstanding decision so as to make possible the day, sooner rather than later, that this decision will be a permanent decision....

Baby Boom 2002
THERE WILL BE roughly 25 invited guests at a wedding I’m attending this weekend-mostly family and close friends. Yet of that small group, five are expectant mothers. That’s almost half of the women in attendance, and nearly all of those within child-bearing age. That doesn’t even include my cousin’s wife, who’s too far along in her pregnancy to make the trip. Three of the pregnancies come from my immediate family: My two older sisters are both expecting, as is my wife, who is due with our fir...

Back to occupation, back to "normal"
I kept thinking, are we going to reach this point that we want to leave our houses when curfew is lifted but 'choose' not to leave if we don't want to be killed or injured. When I reached this point, I decided not to think, it is better not to think, if I want to keep my sanity it is better not to think about plans, needs, death, life or anything. When you control nothing in your life, why burden yourself by thinking of how your plans will be aborted, how your life can be lost for buying some...

WESTERN MEDIA HYPES ANOTHER 'IRAQI BABY INCUBATOR' BIG LIE?
This article by Brendan O'Neill questions the veracity of a BBC report that Iraq is supposedly storing dead babies' bodies to be paraded in mass funerals as propaganda against the genocidal USA/UK sponsored economic sanctions. Sounds suspiciously similiar to the American Big Lie that Iraqi soldiers were killing Incubator babies during the Gulf War....

AMERICAN LIE MACHINE CONTINUES ITS COVERUP OF US WAR CRIMES IN AFHGANISTAN
Here is an excellent article from the World Socialist Website which exposes the role of the American Media --maintstream or alternative--in covering up a major news story about a documentary which provides evidence of heinous American War Crimes in Afghanistan. Indymedia, not suprisingly, has given this issue only token coverage....
