As the war drums of the Bush Administration drone into background noise, a growing number across the globe turn their eyes to the USA itself. The view becomes a prelude to the upcoming horror feature of this planets history - the Day America Turns on Herself! The Heartland of Liberty is being shaken to its very core by the growing disquiet in its People, and as the onlookers stand appalled, the very foundations of this planets concept of Liberty are eroded and turned to shifting sands of displaced freedom. As a planet, The People heard the lies told to cause War. As a Planet, The People heard the changing tales as justification to cause War. As a Planet, we stand helpless and watch the internal and deliberate destruction of the single heartplace of Liberty for all men, America. ... read full story / add a comment

Why aren't Corrupt Practices not made a criminal offence? What about the scandalous loopholes in those who pay tax and more importantly the Equitable Amount. I ... read full story / add a comment

In any society where the percentage of abstentionist votes is as pivotal to the security of centre parties who rule by little more wit than chasing economic indicators in the globalised free market post thatcher/reagan neo-liberal U$ project, Opinion Polls Count. Polling opinion pays. 1,594 completed interviews between 29/4/05 and 11/5/05. ... read full story / add a comment
