January-February 2004

While George W. Bush's military has captured the president of a country that had nothing to do with September 11th, the people continue to fight back at home and abroad. With news from across the country and in Ohio, the latest print issue of the Free Press is in print and stirring up dissent.

Selected articles include:

"Book review: How to dethrone King George"

The Hidden News

AUSTIN, Texas -- Good grief, the tree's not down yet, the bills aren't due and the diet doesn't start until the bowl games are over, so what's with the unseemly haste? Not even time to take a deep breath here in 2004, and already we're like the white rabbit -- behind, breathless and late.

            Not that I suspect this administration of managing the news -- horrors, no -- but a number of unusual objects were dropped into the holiday punch bowl whilst the rest of us were still caroling and wassailing, including quite a few bad nooz items for the Bush team.

            One interesting piece of information that got completely lost earlier in the capture of Saddam Hussein was the resignation of David Cay, the guy in charge of the hunt for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. The search for WMD in Iraq has effectively ended. (Liz Carpenter said, "I must have seen 20,000 shots of them looking through Saddam's hair and into his mouth -- they're not gonna find the WMD in there.")

Ohio volunteers for verified voting - a call to action

1. Legislation has been introduced in Ohio legislature to require a voter verified paper trail, and Ohio voters need to be rallied to support it.  Contact your State legislators and ask them to support House Bill #358 and Senate Bill #167, and ask your friends to do the same.

2. We have only two weeks of the Congressional recess remaining, and we want as many Congresspersons and Senators as possible to be asked, in person, to support the bills (H.R.2239 and S.1980). You can help in two ways:

a) Contact the offices of the U.S. Representatives and Senators for your state. Ask if they have local "town meetings" scheduled before Congress reconvenes. You can find their names by going here and selecting your state: verifiedvoting.org/states.asp Then send us an email at pass2239@verifiedvoting.org and let us know what you find out.

b) If possible, attend one or more of any meetings held by your federal legislators. Take your friends.  Ask if the Representative will co-sponsor H.R.2239, or

New Deal or Trickle Down on the dime??

USA Today is currently running a poll to determine whether Americans want to keep Franklin Delano Roosevelt on the dime, or replace him with Ronald Reagan.

Taking the time to vote will take only 10 seconds but is very symbolic.  Is this really the end of the New Deal?  A foreshadowing of events to come next November?  Voting only takes 30 seconds. Click on the link below (or paste it into your browser).  And when you're finished, please pass this on to others. Please do this - a symbolic but important gesture to fight the madness.  Roosevelt is only getting 40% of the vote at this writing.  Spread this around. www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2003-12-05-reagan-dime_x.htm

Power Of The Press + MIME-FECE$ + Some History + Why I Do NOT Believe The CIA

Dear Mr. Fitrakis,

I have just read your article about Bush being tried alongside Saddam. I would like to share some of my thoughts regarding America's quest for empire and its need for secrecy. Please bear with me. Many more young Americans are going to die because they are not aware of the facts. There are 'bad' genes circulating in the Bush blood line!

Sex and Religion: poetry in a song

Chorus:
Sex and Religion,
It's Sex and Religion,
That Old-Time Religion should pack up and leave.
Sex and Religion,
Gimme Sex and Religion --
The greatest combination since Adam and Eve.

Verse 1:
When Bill Clinton and Monica had their affair,
Sacred Confessors popped out everywhere.
They led our President through atonement prayers
And their prayers were answered -- the White House is theirs.


Verse 2:
What they did with a heterosexual affair yesterday,
They're doing today by bashing the gays.
Nothing rallies the faithful and frightens their wives
Like trashing gay clergy, gay schools, and gay lives.

Verse 3:
Soon they'll control the courts and the red, white and blue.
The church will rule the state and they'll both control you.
If you have the kind of sex life that they abhor,
The church and the state will break down your door.

Verse 4:
Now that Gay Marriage is the new boy in town,
They'll amend the Constitution just to keep you down.
They say the gay "life style" is perverted and odd.

RE: Why Bush must be captured and tried alongside Saddam Hussein

I agree with you except that I also have a problem with the attack on Afghanistan.  So we killed 25,000+ people there who had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11, left about 2-million homeless, and what was the purpose of this?  The people in Afghanistan were never asked if they want Osama bin Laden's group in their country, and this group does not constitute their government.

Moreover, bin Laden never claimed credit for 9/11 and I'm not so sure this "Al-Qaeda" terrorist group even exists.  Bin Laden's group is the Mujahiden, isn't it?  Who is Al-Qaeda?  How do we even know that any Middle-Eastern terrorists were involved in 9/11?  Because Bush told us?  Heck, the same guy also told us that there are WMDs and nuclear weapons in Iraq although nobody seems to be able to find either.

I find it just a tad on the odd side that Bush knows so much about this 9/11 attack.  For example, how does he know that exactly 19 terrorists were involved, which weapons they had, where they're from, and which group they're affiliated with?  Didn't he also tell us that at least 7 of them traveled with fake IDs?  Yet in the same breath Bush tells us he knows who they were?

Spoils of War: The Antiquities Trade and the Looting of Iraq

It has been called the worst cultural disaster to happen since the Second World War, and one archaeologist has likened it to a "lobotomy of an entire culture."  To the dismay of archaeologists throughout the world, the toppling of the Iraqi government by U.S. troops unleashed a wave of looting and destruction of Iraq's national patrimony. Despite pleas for action from outraged scholars, the culturally blinkered Bush Administration remained indifferent, belatedly acting only when media coverage mushroomed into a public relations fiasco that threatened to upend the manufactured image of benign liberation. Although the scale of loss from the looting of the National Museum in Baghdad was less serious than initially indicated, it was nevertheless a crippling blow, while elsewhere in Iraq the situation ran alarmingly out of control.

Democracy

Dr.Bob Fitrakis,,just read excellent piece on your shady, avaricious, venal ,commander in chief; Scoop N.Z..The world has a major problem on hand with this administration.Our P.M. John Howard is a Bush clone,so far he has escaped much criticism., He took us to "Massacre in Iraq." without consent of Parliament or people.One aspect that really concerns me is ownership of The Federal Reserve.This entity must be returned to the people. Also paper on IRS by Paul Andrew Mitchell.Regarding 43rd.how much evidence do  those in power really need to impeach President.Regards; john cameron.down under.Ps.Al Capone was really a foolish man.All he had to do was become a politician.
