The US Count Votes project's most recent statistical analysis presents a thorough scientific rebuttal of Edison/Mitofsky´s proposed explanation for the discrepancy between last November's exit poll figures, which predicted a win for Kerry with a margin of 3%, and final vote tallies, which gave Bush the victory with a margin of 2.5%.

According to the statisticians who have authored this latest analysis of the exit poll and vote tally data, Edison/Mitofsky's explanation just does not hold water.

The hypothesis that the discrepancy was due to vote miscounting persists. read full story / add a comment

On Monday 12 September, the Danish defence intelligence whistleblower Frank Grevil commences an appeal against the six-month prison sentence he was given last November as a penalty for leaking confidential threat assessments about Iraq to the Danish daily Berlingske Tidende the previous February. The leak undermined confidence in the Danish government’s decision to participate in the invasion of Iraq on the basis of the alleged threat of weapons of mass destruction.

Meanwhile, Grevil’s former employer will press for a new prosecution for further offences allegedly committed in a book about Grevil that has just been published. read full story / add a comment

international / rights, freedoms and repression / other press Sunday September 11, 2005 03:28 by cleaves
From bad to worse is the new sub-text slogan for Bush and his administration. Appearing on US media, flanked by Cheney, Rumsfeld and numerous other (wooden) neo-cons, Bush repeated his rehearsed lines – “we are problem solvers”. This statement met with numerous reporters clearing their throats; the problem is Bush and his inept administration. The emperor is not only without clothes but is also devoid of ability. The corporate driven Bush government is learning that managing a nation has little in common with running an oil company. [Those best suited for government are dedicated to the selfless service of others – a concept totally alien to conservative ideology.] read full story / add a comment

"So we grabbed my Canon digital rebel and my Sony videocamera and started walking down the street," Marble wrote. "And then right in front of the destroyed tennis court I used to play on Dick Cheney was giving a pep rally, talking to the press. The Secret Service guys patted us down and waved the wands over us, and then let us pass."

As he stood about 10 feet away from Cheney and his friend and some camera operators from CNN and other media filmed the scene, Marble suddenly yelled, "Go fuck yourself, Mr. Cheney! Go fuck yourself, you asshole!" read full story / add a comment

Another story of "the government won the elections". What was once a joke, is increasingly true, one doesn't need to count the ink thumbs, or even trust the polls, all you need to ask is - "who is the current government and do the west like them?"
Answer "yes" they won.
Answer "no" they lost. read full story / add a comment

On a weekly basis people die needlessly on Irish streets due to the acute lack of housing and lack of services to those in need. In response to these recent deaths Street Seen, Irish Anti-Poverty Paper, are calling on people to protest in Dublin saying clearly enough is enough: No More Deaths On Our Streets
