Enter the world of Paul Krugman, a world either dark (the eras of Bush One and Bush Two) or bathed in light (when Bill was king). "What do you think of the French Revolution?" someone is supposed to have asked Chou En-Lai. "Too soon to tell," Chou laconically riposted. Krugman entertains no such prudence. Near the beginning of his collection of columns, "The Great Unraveling," Krugman looks back on Clinton-time. A throb enters his voice. He becomes a Hesiod, basking in the golden age.
In Washington, DC, it was a highly reenergized Anti-War Movement that rallied on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 25, 2003. Under a blue sky, with temperatures hovering in the mid-60s, they marched by the thousands. They demanded that all U.S. troops get out of Iraq and chanted slogans, like: "No more lies. Bush has got to go. Bring the troops home."
The route took the protesters from the Washington Monument, to north on 17th St., crossing H. St., near fabled Lafayette Square, (which sits in front of the White House), then down 15th Street to Pennsylvania Ave, while passing the Justice Department on their right, and the FBI Building on their left, to finish off on Constitution Ave., in front of "The Ellipse".

AUSTIN, Texas -- Holy smoke! I know hellzapoppin' with the news here lately, but let's try keeping our eye on the shell with the pea under it. Fascinating as all this inside-D.C. stuff is about Rummy and Cheney, and who leaked the CIA agent's name, there's some major stuff being buried in the business section.
The manipulation of mutual funds -- nice, safe, comfortable old mutual funds -- is a story heating up nicely. In addition, if you are following the trial of Frank Quattrone in the nasty case of manipulating high-tech IPOs, you already have been whomperjawed over the goings on.
Add The New York Times Sunday account of how states and municipalities have been talked into bond issues by investment banking firms to cover pension costs, with highly unfortunate results, and you have a creepy and getting-creepier picture of the entire financial services industry.

Regarding the article by Harvey Wasserman and Bob Fitrakis - (freepress.org,
October 21, 2003), some Republicans may be leaning towards fascism, but the
majority of Democrats have been leaning towards socialism for many decades.
Both are forms of statism that will ultimately destroy our inalienable
rights and liberties.
The solution is to get rid of both philosophically bankrupt political parties' powers and invest in a new American political party that really recognizes the Constitution instead of paying it lip service while undermining and diminishing it.
For lack of a better name, I would call it, "The Jeffersonian Party." It would outlaw subjective laws that tend to subvert individual and property rights, diminish and phase out government social-engineering agencies, phase out the taxation (and chokeholds on the creation of wealth) on individual income, and divest itself of the unConstitutional powers it has acquired over the past 100 years at the expense of individual rights, property rights and state rights.

Sirs,
I thought your recent article regarding the media coverage of Bush-Nazi
connections was brilliant. Please continue to do what you are doing,
we're all doing what we can to spread the word.
Regime change begins at home.

My exegesis on this story, responding to a Straight Dope article that
didn't go far enough, is at http://www.romm.org/prescott.html .
The situation is worse than you make it seem. In fact the Bush's,
starting with Bert Walker in 1924, had a very close relationship
with the Nazi party and Nazi Germany. Prescott has never fully
answered for his association, and Bert's association with the
Herrimans worked in his favor.
The relationship the Walker/Bush families had with the Nazis is
strikingly parallel to the relationship the Bush family has with the
bin Ladens today. And both are being covered up. The press is
finally realizing the emperor has no clothes. If Bush Sr. had dealt
with this, no one would accuse W. of anything. But the cover-up of
family sins is starting to rise above the radar for many. And this,
to me, is a good thing.

Good analogies weave their way through that can be precisely matched up to the policies developed by Karl Rove, just like we didn't elect George Bush, we didn't elect Rove to run our personal lives with his Machiavellian plans.

especially interesting p. 17 the love of the bio genetic model-- apply it to GMO's to be used to give the WTO the power to override any plebiscite in the world. Next will be forced medical testing for US citizens to support their corporate bio genetic machine. All for profit, power and control.
