All Of Congress Covers Up Administration's Crimes Posted by Pile (13797 views) [E-Mail link]
For six years, the Bush Administration and the nation�s communication companies have been illegally spying on Americans� phone calls and e-mails. They did this in direct violation of the Constitution�s 4th Amendment and a federal statute � FISA. Both laws emphatically forbid such surveillance unless the government first obtains a warrant from an independent (eg, FISA) court. Your Congress, including the Democrats are now working to give the companies that colluded with the administration immunity for these crimes. By the way, both Barak Obama and John McCain sold out on this one. Obama voted for it; Every single republican voted for it. McCain was too much of a coward to even vote, but we all know which way he would have voted - certainly not against party lines.

July 4 2008: A Declaration For Our Times Posted by Pile (13588 views) [E-Mail link]	[Activists]
A group of so-called "rabble rousers" have placed an ad in today's New York Times... it's well worth a read... �We the people of the United States,� the first words of the Constitution, make it clear that our government was established to serve the people. Our Constitution contains checks and balances to prevent abuses of power, and our Bill of Rights limits government in order to guarantee fundamental rights and liberties. Today the "War on Terror" undermines those crucial limits on power that our Constitution promises. Congress's complicity in this war has enabled constitutional violations of including warrantless surveillance, torture, indefinite detention, and preemptive war. Fighting against one violation at a time fragments our movement. It is time to unite to face the common source of these problems. See the video and the actual ad placed.

Hitchens After Being Waterboarded Now Claims It's Torture Posted by Pile (13874 views) [E-Mail link]	[Activists]
Want to know if waterboarding is torture? Ask Christopher Hitchens. Previously, this outspoken writer and atheist has taken the atypical view among his contemporaries that the war against those in the middle east was not necessarily a bad thing, and that water boarding was not torture. That is... until he took the challenge to experience it first hand...

Taking Liberties (Since 1997) Posted by Pile (12952 views) [E-Mail link]
Taking Liberties is a shocking but hilarious polemic documentary that charts the destruction of all your Basic Liberties under 10 Years of New Labour. Released to coincide with Tony Blair's departure, the film and the book follow the stories of normal people who's lives have been turned upside down by injustice - from being arrested for holding a placard outside parliament to being tortured in Guantanamo Bay.

Gore Vidal: US Media Doesn't Give "A Flying f*ck" About Country Posted by Pile (12657 views) [E-Mail link]
One of the biggest stories in the last 20 years, American media is largely ignoring. Gore Vidal has something to say about it... On June 9, 2008, a counterrevolution began on the floor of the House of Representatives against the gas and oil crooks who had seized control of the federal government. This counterrevolution began in the exact place which had slumbered during the all-out assault on our liberties and the Constitution itself.

Church Claims Copyright Infringement Over Insider Handbook Posted by Pile (13863 views) [E-Mail link]
Move over Scientology.... the Wikimedia Foundation has received a copyright infringement claim from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, widely known as the Mormon Church or LDS Church, in reference to documents leaked entitled "Copy of handbook for leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints". The Wikinews article, originally published on April 19, described material in the Church Handbook of Instructions. The work is a two-volume book of policies and is a guide for leaders of the Mormon Church. "...the book is strictly confidential among the Mormon (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, aka LDS in short form) bishops and stake presidents and it reveals the procedure of handling confidential matters related to tithing payment, excommunication, baptism and doctrine teaching (indoctrination)."

Florida Set To Approve Christianity-Promoting License Plate Posted by Pile (12301 views) [E-Mail link]
Florida lawmakers may approve a new license that includes a cross and the words "I Believe." Even though Florida now has more than 100 specialized license tags, the Republican-controlled Legislature may soon add one more: a colorful license plate that features the words ''I Believe'' set among a resplendent sunrise and the image of a cross in front of stained-glass window.

A secret memo authored by the Department of Justice (DOJ) asserting that President Bush has unlimited power to order brutal interrogations to extract information from detainees was declassified today as a result of an American Civil Liberties Union Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.

Fighting the Advil menace, one strip search at a time Posted by Pile (16670 views) [E-Mail link]
There are two kinds of people in the world: the kind who think it's perfectly reasonable to strip-search a 13-year-old girl suspected of bringing ibuprofen to school, and the kind who think those people should be kept as far away from children as possible. The first group includes officials at Safford Middle School in Safford, Arizona, who in 2003 forced eighth-grader Savana Redding to prove she was not concealing Advil in her crotch or cleavage.

Rush Limbaugh Implicated In Vote Fraud Scheme Posted by Pile (26552 views) [E-Mail link]
In case you missed it, Rush Limbaugh, the oxycotin-taking conservative talk radio host, was urging Republicans in Texas and Ohio to skip their party's primary on March 4 and instead cast a vote for Hillary Clinton in order to prolong the fight between her and Barack Obama. And that Tuesday, as media in both states reported, thousands of Republicans did just what Limbaugh and others had suggested -- they changed parties to vote for Clinton. One problem. That's basically illegal. And now the board of elections is looking into a criminal investigation of the matter.

"US Copyright Registry" Scam E-Mail Circulating Posted by Pile (18777 views) [E-Mail link]
Today my network operator got an interesting e-mail from the official-sounding "US Copyright Registry" implying that "If you disregard this notice or fail to reply.. the United States Patent and Trademark office will NOT be liable for infringement of your website, interruption of business activity or business losses." This latest scheme seems intended to scare domain holders into thinking they need some additional services be paid to this official sounding company, selling "copyright registration" - likely charging you an arm and a leg to mail a form you could do yourself, which many people argue makes very little difference.

Spammer Gets Nine Years In Prison Posted by Pile (14044 views) [E-Mail link]	[Spam]
Virginia's Supreme Court on Friday upheld the first US felony conviction for spamming. The spammer will serve nine years in prison for sending what authorities believe to be millions of messages over a two-month period in 2003. Jeremy Jaynes is the man who will make history. A Raleigh, North Carolina, resident who made Spamhaus' top 10 list of spammers, Jaynes was arrested in 2003 even before the CAN SPAM act was passed by Congress. Jaynes was convicted in 2005, but his lawyers appealed the conviction. This past Friday, the Virginia Supreme Court upheld that conviction, but the vote was a narrow 4-3.

Web Site Revealing Money Laundering Scheme Is Shut Down Posted by Pile (11833 views) [E-Mail link]
A group people are apparently behind a scheme to shut down the web site Wikileaks, for publicizing documents which appear to show an elaborate tax evasion scheme involving the Cayman Islands, Swiss bankers and a host of powerful American businesspeople. In what's a poignant demonstration of how much people in government know technology, an injunction was granted against the domain registrar for wikileaks.org to make it not resolve (shut the whole web site down instead of ask offending content to be removed) but these people didn't know much about mirrors or IP addresses apparently.

New Hampshire Ballot Process Gets Weird Posted by Pile (9797 views) [E-Mail link]
While a recount of the Democratic primary in New Hampshire shows little changes, that's not the whole story. The real story is what you won't see on the news, and that's the hanky panky that was done with the ballot boxes, which defies logic and common sense. What happens when a camera crew follows the ballot boxes from a local election? Chaos and confusion and total deviation from the plan... watch the video. It's as if our political leaders are a bunch of pod people and nobody cares if their votes are counted properly!
