Quote for the Day

Quote for 6/10/2007
'So it comes as no surprise that over the course of the last sixty years, since the inception of television, since the rise of the military-industrial-energy complex, since the growth and corruption of the corporate world, since the marriage of government with the corporate world, better known as fascism, that all manner of truth has been hidden in the deep recesses of America’s black holes and tight-locked vaults.' - Manuel Valenzuela

Quote for 5/30/2007
'Warning, people from other countries, don’t come to this brutal repressive place America. This is what Fox’s Hit TV Show “24” is all about, get us used to repression and control and torture. They are searching our children at gunpoint with attack dogs in the schools. We are no longer free to assemble in peaceful protest as was guaranteed by our constitution, but must protest only within their so-called “free speech zones” - chain link fence cages well out of sight of the politically powerful. They have stripped us of our Habeas Corpus rights and our Bill of Rights. Any of us can now be disappeared and tortured. These people, our so-called elected officials who were appointed to serve the people and uphold the Constitution have become our jailers and masters and we their slaves.' - editor

Quote for 5/25/2007
'What was once the nation, and the people, of Iraq has been transformed into an amalgam of carnage, blood, misery and decimation the likes of which the world has not seen since World War II, or Vietnam. Iraq has become a human catastrophe, a defeat for humanity itself, birthed not through tempests or tsunamis or earthquakes, but through the criminality, corruption and human wickedness of one nation. It has been humankind that has routed itself in self-debasement, our failure to act one more silver chalice in our trophy case of human wickedness.' - Manuel Valenzuela
Quote for 5/20/2007
'In the United States, each member elected to the House and Senate takes an oath to uphold the US Constitution, as does the president and vice president. Yet the Bush Regime drafted and Congress passed the Military Commissions Act, a constitutional monstrosity that denies the protection of law to everyone declared, without evidence, by the executive branch to be a suspected terrorist or enemy combatant.' - Paul Craig Roberts

Quote for 5/19/2007
'A society whose citizens refuse to see and investigate the facts, who refuse to believe that their government and their media will routinely lie to them and fabricate a reality contrary to verifiable facts, is a society that chooses and deserves the Police State Dictatorship it's going to get.' - Ian Williams Goddard

Quote for 5/17/2007
In the month following last year's 7/7 London bombings, Vice President Dick Cheney is reported to have instructed USSTRATCOM to draw up a contingency plan "to be employed in response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States". Implied in the contingency plan is the certainty that Iran would be behind a Second 9/11.

'It is ironic, that American neoconservatives have decided to conquer the world in the name of liberty and democracy, when they have so little regard for either.' - Canadian author and professor Shadia Drury

Quote for 5/13/2007
'Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President', Dr. Frank diagnosed the President as a 'paranoid meglomaniac', and 'untreated alcoholic', whose 'lifelong streak of sadism, ranging from childhood pranks (using firecrackers to explode frogs) to insulting journalists, gloating over state executions and pumping his hand gleefully before the bombing of Baghdad' showcase Bush’s instabilities.' - Teresa Hampton - thepeoplesvoice

Quote for 5/12/2007
'We do not have the right to forget the causes of any war, which must be sought in the mistakes and errors of peacetime. Moreover, in our time, these threats are not diminishing, they are only transforming, changing their appearance. In these new threats, as during the time of the Third Reich, are the same contempt for human life and the same claims of exceptionality and diktat in the world.' - MOSCOW, May 9 - President Vladimir V. Putin

Quote for 5/11/2007
Before the occupation (i.e. before the Americans came to us), there were no suicide bombers, no kidnappers, and no murdering militias. All these came with the occupation, and America failed or didn't want to control the situation. America is the only country responsible for the blood shed in Iraq. And the Iraqis will never forgive it for that - A Citizen Of Mosul

Quote for 5/5/2007
'The suppression of truth has long been among the highest priorities for the upper echelons of power and authority. For a minority elite that clings to power by the manipulation of the masses using an omnipresent cocktail of lies, deception, mass-produced ignorance and ingrained propaganda, the destruction of truth is an essential method of control. It is a formula that has worked to unmitigated success for the elite throughout history, whether the shadows of power stretch from ancient pyramids, marble temples, castles, mansions or halls of governance.' - Manuel Valenzuela

Quote for 5/4/2007
'Let there be no doubt that Hillary Clinton is about as slippery a species of politician that exists, one who has demonstrated an ability to morph facts into a nebulous blob which blurs the record and distorts the truth.' - Scott Ritter


Quote for 5/3/2007
'So it comes as no surprise that over the course of the last sixty years, since the inception of television, since the rise of the military-industrial-energy complex, since the growth and corruption of the corporate world, since the marriage of government with the corporate world, better known as fascism, that all manner of truth has been hidden in the deep recesses of America’s black holes and tight-locked vaults.' - Manuel Valenzuela
