Headlines at Online Journal.

 

 

Pop goes the Bush mythology bubble

Part 5: Exploding the myth of the Bushes as an all-American family

 

By Karl W. B. Schwarz

 

February 2, 2005—The Bushes are many things, but an All-American

family they are not. There is something fundamentally wrong with these

people and it goes past elitism and just basic snobbery. They might

have " Oil on the Brain " to the point they are not even very human any

more and we already know they are not humane at all.

 

 

Al Jazeera 'for sale' is a sad sign for all

 

By Linda S. Heard

 

February 2, 2005—It is been bombed, banned and lambasted. It is been

accused of aiding terrorists and serving as a mouthpiece for Osama Bin

Laden as well as Saddam Hussein.

 

 

President Warbucks rides again

 

By Jerry Mazza

 

February 2, 2005—He's takin' it to 'em. And all he needs is another 80

billion bucks, on top of the $25 billion he got last summer, which

will bring the grand total to about $300 billion for war expenditures,

according to the Congressional Research Service. He'll continue the

fight with the Afghanistan bad guys, the Iraqi bad guys and maybe even

the Iranian bad guys, as Seymour Hersh tells us in " The Coming

Wars—What the Pentagon can do now in secret " in the Jan. 25 New Yorker.

 

 

Blood for US3r

 

By Adam Engel

 

Febraury 2, 2005—I died for your sins–almost. I never quite died

completely. But still. You didn't notice either way. It's been a year,

more or less. You didn't call my wife. You didn't send a card.

 

 

 

Waxing messianic

 

By Jim Dodgins

 

February 2, 2005—Whenever George Dubya waxes messianic we're all

getting shined. Peering out over the inaugural podium at his reality

of illusions, Dubya articulates a grand vision where he stamps out

tyranny and creates a homogenous world. This all invokes déjà vu.

 

 

 

Justice and 9-11

 

By D. Alexander Floum

 

January 28, 2005—The evidence that certain elements of the government

intentionally allowed and caused the 9-11 tragedy appears to be

extremely strong. See, for example, Painful Questions by Eric

Hufschmid (view free video), Synthetic Terror by Webster Tarpley, and

The New Pearl Harbor and The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and

Distortions by David Ray Griffin.

 

 

 

Academia, business and government: the lucrative triangle in

right-wing propaganda

 

By Margie Burns

 

January 28, 2005—In 1971, corporation attorney Lewis F. Powell became

worried about the loss of social prestige suffered by business—mainly

big business—in America, so worried that he sent a memo about it to

the head of the US Chamber of Commerce. Two months later, Powell was

appointed as a justice to the Supreme Court; the lengthy and detailed

memo was leaked to muckraking columnist Jack Anderson.

 

 

 

The King of the Night's darkest hour

Johnny Carson and the Kennedy assassination

 

By Larry Chin

 

January 28, 2005—Even in glints of light and joy, there is the

darkness of unacknowledged realities and suppressed nightmare.

 

 

 

 

Come the Apocalypse, a bag of gold: Responding to Carolyn Baker

 

By Kurt Nimmo

 

January 28, 2005Carolyn Baker pulls out all the stops in her

refutation of my comments, posted on the CounterPunch site and my

blog, taking Mike Ruppert to task for suggesting we buy gold as hedge

against the coming Bush Depression and the ravages of Peak Oil. I

based my comments on a summarization of an event held on January 15,

at Kane Hall, on the campus of the University of Washington in

Seattle. In particular, I zeroed in on the following paragraph,

written by Ruppert's agent, Ken Levine:

 

 

 

Uncommon Sense

Freedom in Wonderland

 

By Michael Hasty

 

January 28, 2005—Protected from the American public by legions of

imperial storm troopers in a city that appeared to be the very model

of a high-tech police state, George W. Bush used the word " freedom " 27

times in his second inaugural address. The word " liberty " appeared 15

times. Under the circumstances, it's worth recalling that " freedom "

was also one of Adolph Hitler's favorite themes.

 

 

 

The Splendid Failure of Occupation

Part 26: Dick Cheney, numbers and the metaphysics of 9/11

 

By B. J. Sabri

 

January 28, 2005—Numbers are fascinating: take them out of our

culture, and everything would instantaneously cease to

function—literally. Numbers have mystique, power, purpose, and

meaning, depending on who is using them and why.

 

 

 

Getting the facts straight on family violence

 

By Jerry Mazza

 

January 28, 2005—After my last Online Journal article, " Does

homosexual marriage jeopardize heterosexual marriage, " I received a

number of positive responses. Another two were so scathing they almost

melted my flat screen. Nor were they from conservatives who thought I

was selling out America's moral standards.

 

 

 

 

Don't be fooled by occupation in democracy's clothing

 

By Linda S. Heard

 

January 28, 2005—Forgive me if I cannot whip up too much excitement

over the coming Iraqi elections. Apart from my innate scepticism as to

US intentions after its pretexts for going to war were blown apart,

the words of an Iraqi diplomat who insisted he was a close friend of

Eyad Allawi add fuel to the embers.

 

 

 

 

Airline overcapacity, profitability and society

 

By Seth Sandronsky

 

January 28, 2005—I read in my daily paper about overcapacity in the

airline industry. There are more airline seats than buyers. Mr. Supply

outstrips Mr. Demand. Consequently, the profitability of these

carriers is down.
