All Eyes on the Supreme Court: More than Birth Control at Stake
On March 25th, the Supreme Court will hear two cases brought by for-profit corporations challenging the ACA's contraceptive coverage rule on religious grounds. These two corporations are Hobby Lobby, a national chain of craft stores owned by a Christian family and Conestoga Wood Specialties, a cabinet manufacturer, owned by a Mennonite family. Beyond the impact on the ACA and contraceptive coverage, the Court's decision may have implications for religious rights of employers and employees, as well as corporate and civil rights laws. This brief examines three fundamental questions raised by some of the 84 amicus briefs that have been submitted to the Court.Issue Brief Read More
Potential Supreme Court Decision: Who Will Bear the Coverage "Burdens?"
The Supreme Court is expected to reach a decision by the end of June, 2014 on the cases brought forth by Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties, two for profit corporations challenging the ACA's contraceptive coverage requirement. The plaintiffs contend that the requirement that they include coverage for certain contraceptive services (emergency contraceptive pills and intrauterine devices) in the insurance plans "substantially burdens" both the corporation's and the owners' religious rights. During the arguments, several of the justices discussed the extent to which the corporations did or not did not have a choice in offering coverage to their workers. In this brief, we explore some of the factors influencing coverage decisions and possible consequences for women and employers given possible Supreme Court decision options: either upholding the contraceptive coverage requirement, or in favor of Hobby Lobby.Issue Brief Read More

But anti-transgender slurs and dialogue continue to be a problem
Transgender characters on television are no longer victims and villains but they are still often defamed, according to a report released Tuesday (18 November) by GLAAD.
The third annual report, titled Trans Images on TV, found there were no episodes in which trans characters were portrayed in the villain role and only one episode with a trans character as a victim.
LGBTI media advocacy group announces networks must include transgender characters to receive an 'Excellent' grade from next year
GLAAD has issued a record 'Excellent' grade to three TV networks this year.
With shows such as Modern Family, The Fosters and Looking huge hits, the US LGBT media advocacy organization has looked backwards at the previous season and rated the networks on their LGBT-inclusive content between June 2013 and May 2014.
They have also released the Where We Are On TV report, analyzing the scripted characters in the upcoming 2014-2015 season.
ABC Family, HBO and MTV have earned 'Excellent' this year.
But reaction from activists mixed since only one group - OUT at Universal - will be included
Organizers of the New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade announced Wednesday (3 September) that an LGBT organization will be able to march in the event for the first time in its 253-year history.
Next March, OUT@NBCUniversal, an employee LGBT organization for NBCUniversal employees, will be allowed to participate under their own banner.
In GLAAD's new report, it shows there were only seven decent well-rounded characters out of 107 films studied
Hollywood is failing at the representation of LGBT people, according to a new report.
GLAAD has mapped the quantity, quality and diversity of the community in films released by the seven largest motion picture studios during 2013.
Out of the 102 releases from the major studios, only 17 of them included characters identified as lesbian, gay or bisexual.
The majority of these were minor roles or cameos. Many of these were also outright offensive and defamatory, such as in Pain & Gain and Riddick.
Football's global governing body is given an epic fail in handling of slurs hurled during World Cup
Football's global governing body is under pressure by more than two dozen LGBTI and human rights organizations to take 'concrete action' on homophobia and anti-gay chants yelled in the stands during this year's World Cup.
Such famously single gays as Adam Lambert and Ricky Martin are not included in very heterosexual issue
A wet and sexy Joe Manganiello on the cover of this week's People Magazine assured that its annual Hollywood's Hottest Bachelor issue would enjoy huge sales.
In addition to three shirtless photos in a four-page spread of the True Blood stars, the issue also features large sexy photos of such hunks as Ryan Gosling, Zac Efron, and Scott Eastwood.
All are straight.
Nowhere to be seen are such famous gay bachelors as Ricky Martin or Adam Lambert.
WWE superstar Darren Young, actor Wilson Cruz and trans actress Candis Cayne join local political officials and activists for event
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti had special privileges at Sunday's LA Pride Parade in West Hollywood.
He had his own microphone.
So the mayor, a longtime staunch ally of the LGBTI community, kept a running commentary going as he road atop a convertible along Santa Monica Boulevard.
'Happy pride!' he would yell out if the crowd seemed a bit too subdued.
Garcetti also showed off his Spanish skills in a fun exchange with a trio of drag performers known as Chico's Angels who were serving as commentators.
Her father, US Senator John McCain, has been staunchly opposed to gay marriage and allowing gays to serve openly in the military
Meghan McCain continues to prove that when it comes to LGBTI equality, the apple does fall very far from the tree.

Irene Monroe looks back to a proud 10 year anniversary in Massachusetts and the quarrel which could have meant same-sex marriage didn't happen
Marriage equality in Massachusetts hit its 10 year mark on 17 May.
With this 10th anniversary I'm proud of the indefatigable energy and genius that made it possible.
But, I didn't always feel that way.
And my opinions, and those of LGBTI communities of color nationwide, were expressed weekly in my column The Religion Thang, for the now defunct Boston-based LGBTQ paper InNewsweekly.

'We were hopeful that the policy of exclusion would be reversed for this year's parade. As this has not come to pass, Guinness has withdrawn its participation'
Guinness announced, in the early evening of 16 March, it was ending sponsorship of the New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade.
'Guinness has a strong history of supporting diversity and being an advocate for equality for all,' the company said in a statement on the website of GLAAD, an LGBTI media watch organization.
'It's time for Guinness, other sponsors and Irish New Yorkers to speak out in favor of an inclusive parade that welcomes the Irish spirit of love and family'
The Stonewall Inn will stop serving Guinness beer because the company has not withdrawn support of the New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade.
The reason for the boycott is because New York City Saint Patrick's Day Parade, Inc, the organizer of the oldest St. Patrick's Day celebration in the US, bans gay organizations from marching.
The Stonewall Riots, the start of the modern gay rights movement, started at the bar in 1969 June.

PG&E's Hurricane Sandy Response Earns Recognition From Edison Electric Institute
PHOENIX, Jan. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Edison Electric Institute (EEI) today honored Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) with the association's 2012 Emergency Assistance Award for the utility's efforts to help other electric utilities restore power following Hurricane Sandy in November.

Over two weeks, PG&E employees worked 16-hour days helping to restore power to thousands of customers in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Long Island."The electric utility industry, through EEI, has a long tradition of providing essential assistance to impacted utilities following natural disasters," said Tony Earley, Chairman, CEO and President of PG&E Corporation. "I'm proud of the incredible effort that PG&E employees put in to restoring power to thousands of New Yorkers in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

Comments about Hempz Couture Online Only Couture Volumizing Shampoo:
I have been using this for 2 weeks and have loved it from the start. It smells good and lathers well. It has given my hair back the volume and wave I had lost.

The 11-year-old was taken off life support following a tragic Jet Ski accident on July 8.
Kyle Glover, son of Tameka Foster and beloved stepson of Usher, passed away on Saturday morning. The 11-year-old suffered critical brain injuries following a tragic Jet Ski accident in Georgia on July 8, and had been on life support since.
TMZ reports that the decision to remove Kyle from life support came after doctor's determined his injuries were too severe to overcome. According to sources, Foster struggled tremendously with the decision and is devastated at her son's passing.
Glover was injured while riding in an inner tube on Lake Lanier, just outside of Atlanta, when he was hit by the Jet Ski. Another child, a female friend of Kyle's, was also on the inner tube at the time of the accident, but she managed to escape with minor injuries.
Authorities are investigating the accident, but it has been confirmed that a friend of the family was riding the Jet Ski at the time of the tragedy. No arrests have been made and it is not being treated as a criminal investigation at this time.
Usher has supported his estranged wife throughout this difficult time, and chartered a plane for Tameka to rush to her son's side as soon as she heard of the accident.
"Usher practically raised Kyle as his own. He's known him for seven years," a source said recently. "He loved Kyle. This is a terrible, awful tragedy. Usher is torn up."
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Tameka, Usher and the rest of the family at this difficult time.

Orange Upside-Down Cake Reviews
Epicurious | March 2009
reviews & comments (2)
Made just the cake, without the oranges, and it was light and not too sweet, with a nice crispy crumb. It came out a little dry - I'd probably bake only 20 minutes next time - but otherwise a lovely, simple cake. My cornmeal was quite fine, so I didn't have the same problem as the last reviewer with separating batter.
Flavors were incredible! Unfortunately the cake turned out heavy and the polenta did not dissolve resulting in a grainy, crunchy cake.

Those agape at the barbed-wire cage designated as a "free speech zone" in Boston may wonder how it can be topped for its fascist implications. Actually, this already happened last month and went largely unnoticed.
Early in his administration Bush invited a group of pharmaceutical firms, among them companies that have been financing him since he was Texas governor, to join a commission on mental health and disabilities known as the New Freedom Initiative.
In its report presented in June, NFI proposes a universal program of mental health "screening" for everyone in the United States – starting with a captive market of 52 million pupils and 6 million teachers in the schools. The panel recommends that those diagnosed with a syndrome receive a prescription regimen based on treatment algorithms devised by the participating drug companies. (Now what makes me think there is a syndrome waiting for pretty much everyone?) The algorithms (hey, science!) derive from a program already implemented by Bush in Texas.
Unfortunately, Orwellian moments like these are only going to come thicker. The thrust towards the New Feudalism, Corporate Totalitarianism, New World Order, or whatever other name you like is in the open now, and it will not slow down unless we arise as a people to end it.
The New Freedom program fits seamlessly into the Kean Commission report proposals for a national ID system using biometric indicators. If we are all about to be fingerprinted and retinal-scanned and fed into a single database integrating all federal… Continue reading

UC Berkeley
22 July 2003 (revised 7/25/03)
BERKELEY — Politically conservative agendas may range from supporting the Vietnam War to upholding traditional moral and religious values to opposing welfare. But are there consistent underlying motivations?
Four researchers who culled through 50 years of research literature about the psychology of conservatism report that at the core of political conservatism is the resistance to change and a tolerance for inequality, and that some of the common psychological factors linked to political conservatism include:
"From our perspective, these psychological factors are capable of contributing to the adoption of conservative ideological contents, either independently or in combination," the researchers wrote in an article, "Political Conservatism as Motivated Social Cognition," recently published in the American Psychological Association's Psychological Bulletin.
Assistant Professor Jack Glaser of the University of California, Berkeley's Goldman School of Public Policy and Visiting Professor Frank Sulloway of UC Berkeley joined lead author, Associate Professor John Jost of Stanford University's Graduate School of Business, and Professor Arie Kruglanski of the University of Maryland at College Park, to analyze the literature on conservatism.
The psychologists sought patterns among 88 samples, involving 22,818 participants, taken from journal articles, books and conference papers. The material originating from 12 countries included speeches and interviews given by politicians, opinions and verdicts rendered by judges, as well as experimental, field and survey studies.
Ten meta-analytic calculations performed on… Continue reading

Change in the Conservative Personality
Equals Change in the Offender
with a Resultant Reduction in Recidivism
by Michael D. Parsons and Jennifer G. Parsons
Journal of the Oklahoma Criminal Justice Research Consortium
Offenders have many of the characteristics of the conservative personality as defined by Adorno, Collins, Wilson, and Boshier. The characteristics of the conservative personality limit change necessary for rehabilitation. Until that personality is modified, it is very difficult to reduce recidivism. Modification of the conservative personality through education and environment can lead to change in the offender's behavior.
Is it possible to reduce violence by the criminal offender during incarceration? This paper presents the basis for a model which deals with certain offenders through an educational effort to modify some of their negative characteristics which include violence. The model in this paper is based on the concept of a conservative/authoritarian personality as it is found in offenders. The concept of the authoritarian personality remains important today as evidenced by coverage in current introductory psychology textbooks (Crooks & Stein, 1991; Dworetzky, 1991; Gleitman, 1991). "It appears that conservatism has pathological dimensions manifested in violence and distorted psycho-sexual development" (Boshier, 1983, p. 159). This is supported by a study conducted by Walker, Rowe, and Quincey (1993) in which there was a direct correlation between authoritarianism and sexually aggressive behavior. An investigation done by Muehlenhard (1988) revealed that rape justification and aggression toward subordinate individuals was much higher in traditional (conservative personality) than non-traditional personalities. It is postulated in this paper that the offender has a conservative personality and, therefore, manifests that violence.
The conservative personality work has as its antecedents the efforts on authoritarianism as developed by Adorno, Frenkel-Brunswick, Levinson, and Sanford (1950) in their book The Authoritarian Personality. Adorno, et al. developed what was called an F-Scale, or Fascist scale, which dealt with nine variables thought to be found in the authoritarian personality: anti-contraception, conventionalism, authoritarian submission, authoritarian aggression, power/toughness, projectivity, superstition/stereotyping, destruction/cynicism, and sex. Historically several problems with the F-Scale instrument were found. To counteract these problems, a Conservatism or C-Scale was developed by Wilson and Patterson in 1968 (Boshier, 1983, p. 50). To reduce confusion, the remainder of this paper will interchange the terms conservatism/authoritarianism, as "neither conceptually nor empirically does there appear to be any grounds for distinguishing authoritarianism and conservative personality–except that the former may be regarded as a somewhat more particular case of the latter" (Wilson, 1973, p. 33). Dogmatic attitudes tend to be related to close-mindedness. The individuals who adhere to dogmatic attitudes have behaviors including: authoritarianism, tough-mindedness, conservatism, and alienated behavior (Rajnarain, 1986). Continue reading

The Iraq war has brought out a "hunger for dictatorship" in the Right that could signal the end of American democracy. — Editor of American Conservative
Students of history inevitably think in terms of periods: the New Deal, McCarthyism, "the Sixties" (1964-1973), the NEP, the purge trial–all have their dates. Weimar, whose cultural excesses made effective propaganda for the Nazis, now seems like the antechamber to Nazism, though surely no Weimar figures perceived their time that way as they were living it. We may pretend to know what lies ahead, feigning certainty to score polemical points, but we never do.
Nonetheless, there are foreshadowings well worth noting. The last weeks of 2004 saw several explicit warnings from the antiwar Right about the coming of an American fascism. Paul Craig Roberts in these pages wrote of the "brownshirting" of American conservatism–a word that might not have surprised had it come from Michael Moore or Michael Lerner. But from a Hoover Institution senior fellow, former assistant secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration, and one-time Wall Street Journal editor, it was striking.
Several weeks later, Justin Raimondo, editor of the popular Antiwar.com website, wrote a column headlined, "Today's Conservatives are Fascists." Pointing to the justification of torture by conservative legal theorists, widespread support for a militaristic foreign policy, and a retrospective backing of Japanese internment during World War II, Raimondo raised the prospect of "fascism with… Continue reading

Editor's Note:
This long heads-up analysis of our apparently imminent war on Iran by CIA veteran (and 9/11 Truth Statement co-signer) Ray McGovern is vital reading for three reasons. One, it outlines the endgame of the Bush team's global petro-dominance plan, a plan that arguably first became public when planes started striking the WTC towers in New York. Second, it speaks clearly and courageously about Israel's provocative nuclear arsenal and the overwhelming power Israeli rightists like Sharon now wield over US policy. And finally, it instructively portrays the hell-bent Orwellian mindset of the reigning neocon crew, who were collectively called "the crazies" in the Reagan/Bush era and whom Colin Powell was still calling "the f**king crazies" a year after 9/11 hit. It is not a pretty picture, but understanding the methodic deception that empowers their madness also moves us closer to 9/11 truth.
Attacking Iran: I Know It Sounds Crazy, But…
By Ray McGovern
"'This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous.'
"(Short pause)
"'This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous.'
"'And having said that, all options are on the table.'
"Even the White House stenographers felt obliged to note the result: '(Laughter).'"
(The Washington Post's Dan Froomkin on George Bush's February 22 press conference)
For a host of good reasons — the huge and draining commitment of U.S. forces to Iraq and Iran's ability to stir the Iraqi pot to boiling, for starters — the notion that the Bush administration would mount a "preemptive" air attack on Iran seems insane. And still more insane if the objective includes overthrowing Iran's government again, as in 1953 — this time under the rubric of "regime change."
But Bush administration policy toward the Middle East is being run by men — yes, only men — who were routinely referred to in high circles in Washington during the 1980s as "the crazies." I can attest to that personally, but one need not take my word for it.
According to James Naughtie, author of The Accidental American: Tony Blair and the Presidency, former Secretary of State Colin Powell added an old soldier's adjective to the "crazies" sobriquet in referring to the same officials. Powell, who was military aide to Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger in the early eighties, was overheard calling them "the f—ing crazies" during a phone call with British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw before the war in Iraq. At the time, Powell was reportedly deeply concerned over their determination to attack — with or without UN approval. Small wonder that they got rid of Powell after the election, as soon as they had no more use for him.
If further proof of insanity were needed, one could simply look at the unnecessary carnage in Iraq since the invasion in March 2003. That unprovoked attack was, in my view, the most fateful foreign policy blunder in our nation's history…so far.
It Can Get Worse
"The crazies" are not finished. And we do well not to let their ultimate folly obscure their current ambition, and the further trouble that ambition is bound to bring in the four years ahead. In an immediate sense, with U.S. military power unrivaled, they can be seen as "crazy like a fox," with a value system in which "might makes right." Operating out of that value system, and now sporting the more respectable misnomer/moniker "neoconservative," they are convinced that they know exactly what they are doing. They have a clear ideology and a geopolitical strategy, which leap from papers they put out at the Project for the New American Century over recent years. Continue reading

For many Americans, there is a deep psychological desire for the 9/11 tragedy to be over. The shock of the day is well remembered and terrorist alerts from Homeland Security serve to maintain lasting tensions and fears. The 9/11 Commission report gave many a sense of partial healing and completion – especially given the corporate media's high praise of the report. There is a natural resistance to naysayers who continue to question the US government's version of what happened on September 11, 2001. This resistance is rooted in our tendency towards the inability to conceive of people we know as evil; instead evil ones must be others, very unlike ourselves.
We all remember, as young children, scary locations that created deep fears. We might imagine monsters in the closet, dangers in a nighttime backyard, and creepy people in some abandoned house down the street. As we get older we build up the courage to open the closet, or walk out into the backyard to smell the night air. As adults there are still dark closets in our socio-cultural consciousness that make it impossible to even consider the possibility of the truthfulness of certain ideas. These fearful ideas might be described as threshold concepts in that they may be on the borders of discoverability, yet we deny even the potentiality of implied veracity – something is so evil it is completely unimaginable.
A threshold concept facing Americans is the possibility that the 9/11 Commission Report was on… Continue reading

The case of a government interpreter-turned-whistleblower serves to illustrate the snowballing trend of hiding embarrassing information — a pattern critics believe may ironically lead to greater public insecurity.
April 22 – Yesterday, a national security whistleblower finally had her day in court, while public interest advocates intensified their campaigns for a more open government, challenging what they see as a pattern of secrecy and impunity in the name of national security interests.
April 22 – Yesterday, a national security whistleblower finally had her day in court, while public interest advocates intensified their campaigns for a more open government, challenging what they see as a pattern of secrecy and impunity in the name of national security interests.
To public advocates, the case of Sibel Edmonds, a former FBI translator who was allegedly fired for exposing misconduct within the agency, has come to symbolize the expansion of government opacity in the post-9/11 era. The stark resistance Edmonds has faced in attempting to challenge the alleged retaliation against her, say civil libertarians, illustrates how secrecy has cast a dark net over institutions of democratic government.
"Expanded secrecy rules are allowing government agencies to hide their incompetence and to hide their failure to really adequately protect the public," warned Beth Daley, spokesperson for the Project on Government Oversight (POGO), a Washington, DC-based watchdog group. Like many other open-government advocates, Daley sees secrecy not only as detrimental to democracy, but also, ironically, a potential security threat in itself.…Continue reading

Have you ever found yourself caught between several hundred million people and their most cherished lies? After writing a letter to a government scientist, pleading with him to clarify a report of his work, I found myself in just that situation. The letter was circulated on the internet and for a brief time I became a reluctant celebrity. Of course I stand behind what I wrote, although it was originally intended as a personal message, not an open letter. Since many have asked for clarification, here is my message to all.
To me, the report in question represents a decision point, not just for the US, but for humanity as a whole. We're at a point where we must decide if we will live consciously, or literally give up our entire reality for a thin veneer of lies. In the US these lies include cheap propaganda that passes for journalism, police-state measures that promise security, and mountains of debt that paint a picture of wealth. Additionally we've adopted many implicit self-deceptions, like the idea that we'll always enjoy a limitless share of the world's resources, no matter where these are located or who might disagree.
All people lie to themselves. It's one of the most important things we have yet to accept about our own nature. We lie to ourselves to justify our past actions, to protect our self-image, and to promote ourselves relative to others. This lying is at the root of many of our problems (e.g.…Continue reading
What Should We Really Be Afraid Of?

Violence can only be concealed by a lie, and the lie can only be maintained by violence.- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Although tyranny…may successfully rule over foreign peoples,
it can stay in power only if it destroys first of all the national institutions of its own people. ~Hannah Areddt
That's right, I said it. Forget about 9/11. Just put all those horrible images away. I mean no disrespect but I think it's time to put things in perspective.
9/11 has become an excuse for those who would exploit it and the world is a sadder and more dangerous place because of those who have used the tragedy for their own gains. This isn't exactly a news flash but it isreality. An unfortunate reality that you and I had no part in making. That responsibility lays with the people who are still scared and those who would continue to exploit their fear. And that fear is the very foundation, the very source of strength of the present administration. Fear is now the guiding principle of almost every aspect of almost every person in America today. We have all become afraid just for different reasons.
Lately I've been doing a bit of research on fear and the odds we all face when it comes to our eventual deaths. Let's face it; we're all going to go sometime.
With acknowledgements to The National Safety Council (NSC), the FBI, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and some great work by writer, John Schettler (Scare Tactics), I've come to the conclusion that many Americans are afraid of the wrong things.…Continue reading
Apocalypse of Coercion: Why We Listen to What "They" Say About 9/11
By Kevin Barrett, mujca.com
"That's just like hypnotizing chickens." –Iggy Pop, "Lust for Life"
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice…uh…(long pause)…we won't get fooled again." George W. Bush
They say suicidal Muslim fanatics did it. They say those radical Muslims hate our freedoms. They say the country is full of sleeper agents who could wake up and kill us at any moment, as soon as their little red-white-and-blue "I hate the USA" wristwatch alarms go off.
They say that Saddam Hussein had something to do with it–he's Muslim, isn't he? They say invading Afghanistan and Iraq was the appropriate response; we had to do something, right? They say if you're not with us, you're against us–and if you're against us, you're on the side of the evildoers.
They say those cunning, devious suicide hijackers defeated America's defenses using flying lessons and box cutters. They say it was ordered by a tall, dark, handsome, sinister, hooknosed kidney patient in a cave in Afghanistan–a ringer for the evil vizier Jaffar in the Disney film Aladdin, but with a thicker beard to signify "Islamist." They say it was masterminded by a real bad dude named KSM. They say they finally caught KSM, and that the whole story, enshrined in the official 9/11 Commission Report, is based on what KSM said under interrogation–so it's all right from the horse's mouth.
They say it happened because our… Continue reading

In the dark days of the Depression, Franklin Roosevelt counseled Americans to avoid fear. George W. Bush is his polar opposite. The public's fear is this president's most potent political asset. Perhaps his only asset.
Mr. Bush wants ordinary Americans to remain in a perpetual state of fear — so terrified, in fact, that they will not object to the steady erosion of their rights and liberties, and will not notice the many ways in which their fear is being manipulated to feed an unconscionable expansion of presidential power.
If voters can be kept frightened enough of terrorism, they might even overlook the monumental incompetence of one of the worst administrations the nation has ever known.
Four marines drowned Thursday when their 60-ton tank rolled off a bridge and sank in a canal about 50 miles west of Baghdad. Three American soldiers in Iraq were killed by roadside bombs the same day. But those tragic and wholly unnecessary deaths were not the big news. The big news was the latest leak of yet another presidential power grab: the administration's collection of the telephone records of tens of millions of American citizens.
The Bush crowd, which gets together each morning to participate in a highly secret ritual of formalized ineptitude, is trying to get its creepy hands on all the telephone records of everybody in the entire country. It supposedly wants these records, which contain crucial documentation of calls for Chinese takeout in Terre Haute, Ind., and birthday greetings to Grandma in Talladega, Ala., to help in the search for Osama bin Laden.…Continue reading
In the Bush era, the timing and quality of "arrests" and "warnings" have a suspicious ring
By Joshua Micah Marshall
Time Magazine
July 07, 2006
In these perilous days, we must be ready to think the unthinkable. No, I don't mean the possibility of a catastrophic terrorist attack. After 9/11, that's all too easy to imagine. No, I'm talking about a thought that even now seldom forces its way into respectable conversation: the quite reasonable suspicion that the Bush Administration orchestrates its terror alerts and arrests to goose the GOP's poll numbers.
Now, I'm a respectable columnist. I don't want to draw rolled eyes. But think about it.
The 18 months prior to the 2004 presidential election witnessed a barrage of those ridiculous color-coded terror alerts, quashed-plot headlines and breathless press conferences from Administration officials. Warnings of terror attacks over the Christmas 2003 holidays, warnings over summer terror attacks at the 2004 political conventions, then a whole slew of warnings of terror attacks to disrupt the election itself. Even the timing of the alerts seemed to fall with odd regularity right on the heels of major political events. One of Department of Homeland Security chief Tom Ridge's terror warnings came two days after John Kerry picked John Edwards as his running mate; another came three days after the end of the Democratic convention.
So it went right through the 2004 election. And then not long after the champagne corks stopped popping at Bush campaign headquarters, terror alerts seemed to go out of style.…Continue reading
Editor's Note: Should an actual "showdown" occur over the constitutionality of Cheney's stonewalling, we would welcome it. Let's know exactly where we stand with respect to the willingness of elected officials to stand up to the criminals-in-chief.
It's well past the time Leahy and company should have been pressing for these sorts of answers. Get on with it.

The Bush administration may soon face a courtroom showdown over its secret eavesdropping programme after subpoenas were issued to the White House, Vice-President Dick Cheney, and the Justice Department.
There is a storm gathering over Mr Cheney in particular, with increasingly vocal demands for his impeachment for "political crimes against the nation".
The Senate Judiciary Committee wants to know the legal basis, if any, for the placing of wiretaps on American citizens without court warrants, as part of the war on terror.
These taps were placed by the National Security Agency, which runs a vast international electronic eavesdropping and codebreaking web with Britain's GCHQ. When reports emerged in the media of the wiretaps, it provoked widespread anger.
The Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Patrick Leahy gave the Bush administration until 18 July to hand over documents which the White House described last week as highly classified and off limits.
Senator Leahy wrote: "Over the past 18 months, this committee has made no fewer than nine formal requests to the Department of Justice and to the White House, seeking information and documents about the authorisation of and legal justification for this programme."
The eavesdropping programme began after the attacks of 11 September 2001.…Continue reading
Congressman Denied Access To Post-Attack Continuity Plans
Newhouse News Service
Washington – Constituents called Rep. Peter DeFazio's office, worried there was a conspiracy buried in the classified portion of a White House plan for operating the government after a terrorist attack.
As a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, DeFazio, D-Ore., is permitted to enter a secure "bubbleroom" in the Capitol and examine classified material. So he asked the White House to see the secret documents.
On Wednesday, DeFazio got his answer: DENIED.
"I just can't believe they're going to deny a member of Congress the right of reviewing how they plan to conduct the government of the United States after a significant terrorist attack," DeFazio said.
Homeland Security Committee staffers told his office that the White House initially approved his request, but it was later quashed. DeFazio doesn't know who did it or why.
"We're talking about the continuity of the government of the United States of America," DeFazio said. "I would think that would be relevant to any member of Congress, let alone a member of the Homeland Security Committee."
Bush administration spokesman Trey Bohn declined to say why DeFazio was denied access: "We do not comment through the press on the process that this access entails. It is important to keep in mind that much of the information related to the continuity of government is highly sensitive." Norm Ornstein, a legal scholar who studies government continuity at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, said he "cannot… Continue reading

The US government is on a 'burning platform' of unsustainable policies and practices with fiscal deficits, chronic healthcare underfunding, immigration and overseas military commitments threatening a crisis if action is not taken soon, the country's top government inspector has warned.
David Walker, comptroller general of the US, issued the unusually downbeat assessment of his country's future in a report that lays out what he called "chilling long-term simulations".
These include "dramatic" tax rises, slashed government services and the large-scale dumping by foreign governments of holdings of US debt.
Drawing parallels with the end of the Roman empire, Mr Walker warned there were "striking similarities" between America's current situation and the factors that brought down Rome, including "declining moral values and political civility at home, an over-confident and over-extended military in foreign lands and fiscal irresponsibility by the central government".
"Sound familiar?" Mr Walker said. "In my view, it's time to learn from history and take steps to ensure the American Republic is the first to stand the test of time."
Mr Walker's views carry weight because he is a non-partisan figure in charge of the Government Accountability Office, often described as the investigative arm of the US Congress.
While most of its studies are commissioned by legislators, about 10 per cent – such as the one containing his latest warnings – are initiated by the comptroller general himself.
In an interview with the Financial Times, Mr Walker said he had… Continue reading

I have argued that in the closing stages of a 'fascist shift', events cascade. I am hearing about them, even across the globe. Here in Australia I hear from the nation's best-know feminist activist, and former adviser to Paul Keating, Anne Summers, who was also at the time this took place Chair of the Board of Greenpeace International. Summers was detained by armed agents for FIVE HOURS each way in LAX on her way to and from the annual meeting of the board of Greenpeace International in Mexico, and her green card was taken away from her. 'I want to call a lawyer', she told TSA agents. 'Ma'am, you do not have a right to call an attorney,' they replied. 'You have not entered the United States.'
Apparently a section of LAX just beyond the security line is asserted to be 'not in the United States' — though it is squarely inside the airport — so the laws of the US do not apply. (This assertion, by the way, should alarm any US citizen who is aware of how the White House argued that Guantánamo is not 'in the United States' – is a legal no-man's land — so the laws of the US do not apply.) Toward the end of her second five-hour detention she asked, `Why am I being detained?' `Lady, this is not detention,' the TSA agent told her. `Detention is when I take you to the cells out… Continue reading

Concerning the graduated repression of the Nazi regime, the Reverend Martin Niemoller, in 1945, stated, to the effect:
First they came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up, because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.
Though this quote has taken on many forms and endured several disputes, the ultimate interpretation stands. That silence about liberty infractions equals civil death.
Further, on the notion of leading the public headstrong into oblivion, the Nazis said it best:
"Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia , nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany . That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." Hermann Goering, 1946… Continue reading

We've heard a live rendition before, now Atlantic Records releases a CDQ snippet of Missy's new single w/ long-time collaborator Timbaland. Block Party, coming soon.
Posted in Singles | Tags: Missy Elliott, timbaland
i dont know why she said "flip birds".. i hate how once ur a veteran in the rap game ur automatically a drug kingpin too...that also goes for busta rhymes
sounds like some ill Timbo shit
I swear yall Mfs only hitting DOPE b/c its Missy, those bars were basic as fuck! i love Missy too but this was wack!
Picky, the line went over your head.
Middle fingers reference.
Very disappointing. The comment above talked about how her bars were basic, but I was thinking so what before I hit play. But then she goes in talking about how dope these bars are, but they're basic. Yes, cringe worthy. Nevertheless, on an entire album of missy and Tim there will surely be a gang of songs that get on repeat.
I heard this piano sample a long time ago but I can't remember what from - not the original but another time it was used. May have been Arsonists or Encore or something...... Anyone????
the rhymes were basic but this shyt still sounds pretty damn good
OH YEAH IT WAS SWOLLEN MEMBERS - Strength which used the piano sample. Better beat too.
you niggas are more worried about indulging your nostaligia than objective quality music. timbo is not the same timbo and missy is probably not the same missy.this reunion stuff rarely works.
I think people forget missy was never a complex rapper. She's always been basic but her flow and creativity with music is why she's the best.
Even Necro has sampled it in his asBESTos track and so has this been sampled by Gangrene - The Groove. go figure!
nothing special and new about it.
And you guys are mad these 2 ain't making the Aaliyah album?!
LMFAO lyricism is far to be found in hip hop nowadays.. yall hype 2 Chainz shit, Wayne shit, Chief Keef shit.. now Missy comes back (who is known to actually have talent) and you start bitching about lyrics? Trust me she gonna have some fly shit on this new album..
When has Missy ever been a Nas? She not a lyrical genius, but she is a masterful artist and song writer. Missy makes hits, not introspective album cuts. She goes for the clubs and the charts and if this were the 90's the comments would be different. Glad to see her back and yes GtotheFO, these two are the people that need to be involved in a new Aaliyah project, they along with Static (R.I.P) crafted her sound.
It's sad that when you want people to listen to lyrics they're too dumb to understand them. Then when you want people to hear good music they hear something totally different..
Missy bout to have a strong comeback, this is the track where she talks her shit. She don't have to get on no deep shit for you dummies.
if y'all want lyricism check Azealia Banks

(Updates with reaction from export trade analysts and economists starting in fifth paragraph.)
Jan. 13 (Bloomberg) -- A proposal by President Barack Obama to reorganize U.S. trade agencies would force together departments that have different missions, something industry groups say may diminish effectiveness.
Obama announced today the first step in a plan to revamp the federal government, which includes combining the U.S. Trade Representative's office and Commerce Department, among others, and reducing the workforce.
"The point is that USTR works," said Susan Schwab, a trade representative during George W. Bush's administration and now a professor at the University of Maryland at College Park. "You want from the Commerce Department a full-throated unapologetic advocate for the U.S. industry. You don't want an agency that has to pull its punches."
She said it would be "crazy to fold" the trade representative's office into the Department of Commerce or some bigger entity because it's small size is what has made it effective.
Gary Hufbauer, a senior fellow with the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, said the current structure of multiple agencies creates confusion, especially for small businesses.
'One-Stop Shopping'
"For most companies that have an issue with the government, it's one-stop shopping," Hufbauer said.
The president said his plan is aimed at making the U.S. government leaner and more consumer-friendly. The first step would be to merge six trade-related agencies, now spread out among different departments, into a single unit.
"It's redundant and inefficient," Obama said today in Washington. "With the authority I am requesting today, we could consolidate them all into one department with one website, one phone number and one mission -- helping American businesses succeed."
Obama is seeking the authority to combine federal agencies and then have Congress hold an up-or-down vote. This would restore power to reorganize agencies that had been granted to presidents.
The business and trade functions of the Commerce Department along with the U.S. Trade Representative, the Export-Import Bank, the Overseas Private Investment Corp., the Trade and Development Agency and the Small Business Administration would be consolidated into one department. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration would move from Commerce to the Interior Department.
Negotiator as Arbiter
Currently, the trade representative negotiates free-trade and multilateral agreements while Commerce enforces them, filing complaints over violations and promotes exports.
Lumping those functions together could hurt both. Negotiators may be more likely to add exceptions to accords, hampering enforcement, said William Reinsch, the president of the National Foreign Trade Council.
"You don't want your trade negotiator to be the arbiter of trade law and enforcement," Reinsch said. "The concessions to trade laws would be overwhelming."
The reorganization may lead to confusion at a time when the administration is trying to boost trade and reduce unemployment, said Scott Lincicome, a trade attorney with White & Case LLP in Washington.
"It raises concerns -- which agency will become the more dominant?" Lincicome said.
Doubling Exports
Obama has set a goal of doubling U.S. exports to $3.14 trillion by 2015, from $1.57 trillion in 2009. The U.S. exported $177.8 billion in goods and services in November, with exports for the past year totaling $2.089 trillion, according to data released today from the U.S. Commerce Department. The 12-month total is more than 32 percent higher than 2009.
"The administration has to carefully consider the importance of collapsing nimble and adept agencies such a USTR into a broader organization when you're dealing with markets that are as complicated as Russia is," said Randi Levinas, executive vice president of the U.S.-Russia Business Council, with members such as Boeing Co., General Motors Co. and Exxon Mobil Corp.

For a region famous for "machismo," Latin America is about to take an unlikely step: elect a record number of women presidents. Actually, that should come as no surprise. Roughly 1 in 4 of the region's legislators are women — one of the world's highest shares, second only to the Scandinavians.
