Billionaires for Bush Debut in Meadville, PA Marcia Metcalfe 2004-07-21 9:55 AM
Newly formed chapter of Billionaires for Bush attended a local GOP rally "to support President Bush" in Meadville, PA's Diamond Park on July 15. Initially puzzled, the local Republicans were later not happy to have had the Billionaires attendance. This continues to puzzle the local Billionaires' group since they just wanted to show their support for a President who has done more for them than any elected official in history, and to thank the good people of Crawford County for paying more than their fair share of income tax to support the richest 1% of the population (text/plain + 1 comment)

Rosia Montana: The war for gold is killing people RCW 2004-07-13 11:20 AM
The Mining Company S.C. „R.M. Gold Corporation” offered the amount of 840,000,000 lei to the family physician Florin Georgescu, so that he would leave Rosia Montana . For a year, the largest commune in Romania was left without medical assistance. Many of the local inhabitants claim that doctor Georgescu was paid to leave, because he held certain medical files of patients who had died, or became gravely ill, because of the powerful psychological pressures they were subjected to, for several years, by the mercenaries of the Company. The war for gold has begun to kill people. Original article at: http://www.formula-as.ro/articol.php?nrrev=617&&codcap=144&&idart=5287 Translation courtesy of T.L.

Zionism as Jewish National Socialism Lasse Wilhelmson 2004-07-11 5:00 PM
There is a law in Israel, passed in 1985, which forbids political parties to openly oppose the principle of a Jewish state. Neither are they allowed to work for a change of this principle through democratic means. A party so doing will be banned from elections to the Knesset. Democracy is thus denied to those citizens - even Jews - who wish to work within the parliamentary system towards replacing the Jewish state with a secular state which represents all its citizens' equal rights regardless of religion or ethnic origin.
