The Not-So-Wild Wild West
by Bob Wallace

Robber: This is a stick-up! Give me your money!

Man: Do you realize there are now four people behind you pointing handguns at your head?

Robber: Here. You can have my .22.

Man: You're not from this state, are you?

Robber: I'm from Washington, DC.

Man: Figures. I guess you didn't know everyone is this state carries handguns. We have almost no crime anymore--almost no murders, or rapes, or robberies. We hardly have any prisons, because we don't have many prisoners. We even fired 90% of the police. The rest are what they're supposed to be--peace officers. (Read the rest here)

1) Baghdad blast kills 7-10, wounds 23-40
TVNZ [New Zealand]
Violence is continuing, if not escalating, now that sovereignty has been formally restored - the question is, will they (US and Iraq and allies) deal with it properly, or use it as an excuse to "crack down?"

2) Militants say they killed Bulgarian hostage
MSNBC
Expect more and more of this, as countries like Spain and the Philippines give in to terrorists. Whatever their mistake in participating in the invasion and occupation, they are compounding their mistakes by doing the right thing for the wrong reason, again. (Read the rest here)

Bilderberg: The New Illuminati? Banking On Control
By Ted Lang © 2004

All that is necessary for a cabal, whose primary objective is world domination, to succeed, is five things: absolute secrecy, control of governmental force, monopoly control of the press, extreme wealth and the influence it buys, and a crisp, unified agenda that all within that cabal unanimously agree to.

If one were to analyze the rise to power of Hitler and his Nazis, the best example of such a potentially successful world conquest group, one would realize their near total success. But before doing so, two aspects of world domination must be considered; first, how does Hitler’s Germany stack up as a world threat when compared to Stalin’s former Soviet Union? And secondly, which “ism” had a greater potential for success? (Read the rest here)

Senate Intelligence Committee Lets the Bush Administration Off the Hook on Iraq
By Ivan Eland

The Bush administration has been let off the hook by the Senate Intelligence Committee’s skewering of U.S. intelligence agencies for providing unfounded or overstated conclusions on Iraq’s “weapons of mass destruction” (WMD). The key issue, unaddressed by the Senate committee, is whether the Bush administration created pressure for the intelligence agencies to reach such an exaggerated opinion of the Iraqi threat.

The Democrats on the committee foolishly bought into an agreement that will likely postpone a committee report on that more important issue until after the election. Yet voters would profit from information about whether the Bush administration pressured the intelligence community or exaggerated, twisted the truth or even lied about the Iraqi threat in its rush to justify war. The very fact that the Republicans wanted a delay in resolving such important questions should indicate where the evidence leads. (Read the rest here)

Free Hunter: Collateral Damage
by Carl Bussjaeger

American Independence Day has come and gone, along with the traditional boom and glare of fireworks that bring joy to many kids, young and old.

Picture two such of the younger children: Adorable little girls just six and four years old respectively, Mikayla and Brittany. Imagine their anticipation as the big day approaches and they look forward not only to the beloved fireworks, but also to the arrival of their favorite uncle Jeff, whom they haven't seen in months.

Now picture the adorable little girls' disappointment because a suited goon in Ohio wouldn't let Uncle Jeff come see his family. Yes, Mikayla and Brittany are just two more victims of the Ashland County, Ohio prosecutor's office.

Call them "collateral damage," more innocents caught in the cross-fire as the run-amuck prosecutors pursue their vendetta against Jeffrey "Hunter" Jordan. (Read the rest here)
