AfterDowningStreet.org is a rapidly growing coalition of veterans' groups, peace groups, and political activist groups, which launched on May 26, 2005, a campaign to urge the U.S. Congress to begin a formal investigation into whether President Bush has committed impeachable offenses in connection with the Iraq war.

ImpeachCentral.com is a nationwide organization of thousands of activists dedicated to the impeachment of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney for violating the laws of the United States. While the Bush administration has violated the Constitution on numerous occasions, the group is focusing on the lies they told the American people and Congress which led the country into the disastrous Iraq War. These lies were confirmed when the Times of London published the secret Downing Street Memo.

by thom Friday, Jul. 15, 2005 at 12:45 PM

Maxine Waters! How very special! Another evening of lunatic rantings from the Looney Left! Maybe you can get her to start raving about how the CIA created AIDS to kill black people. Or that Bush is really Cheney who is really Karl Rove..or, oh never mind.

Black Population has been targeted for population control (see below)


Re: NIH hiding 1971 HIV flowchart and the U.S. Origin of AIDS

Dr. Cargill's May 15, 2000 letter (above) indicates she 'independently located the 1971 HIV flowchart in the archives of the National Cancer Institute. Dr. Cargill is the Medical Officer for the Office of AIDS Research for the United States.

Dr Cargill has alerted NIH security that I (Boyd E. Graves, J.D.) am a threat to their Institution. Dr. Cargill has even conferred with NIH counsel to seek to bring a lawsuit against me. For the record, Dr. Cargill contacted the NCI archivist, Judy Grossberg in early May 2000. Ms. Grossberg informed Dr. Cargill the HIV flowchart was page 61 of progress report #8 (1971) of the U.S. Special Virus program. THE PRECEDING PAGES ANSWER EVERY QUESTION AS TO THE GENESIS OF THE HIV/AIDS PANDEMIC.




In March 1970, the United States signed into law PL91-213 (March 16, 1970) which authorizes population control (stabilization) in nations and in parts of nations. The epidemiology of AIDS CLEARLY shows the Black Population has been targeted for population control, pursuant to the official goals and plans of the United States emanating from a 1948 State Department memo.

download PDF (302.8 kibibytes)

zipped because the width is 6000 pixels - if I posted it as a picture on here it would ruin the thread

unzip then view it

I had to call it a PDF to upload it, rename to ZIP..

Maxine Waters

by Fredric L. Rice Saturday, Jul. 16, 2005 at 10:30 AM
frice@skeptictank.org

I also can't stand Maxine Waters. Every time I hear her on the radio or catch a glance at it on a television screen somewhere, I'm captured by the screeching whine that seems to drill into my brain, prompting me to want to screm for somebody -- ANYBODY! -- to make it stop! Just make it stop!!!

That voice and the New Age claptrap that spews from its mouth like a busted shitpipe is _so_ frocking agrevating, the grinding of my teeth as I stumble toward the offending radio or televiion with my hands clapsed to my ears before I unplug the demon-possed machine has resulted in extensive dental bills.

The bitch of it is -- the _REAL_ bitch of it is -- she's so often _right_ about what he says. And in this case, George W. Bush is a mass murdering baby killer who has committed treason against the people of the United States, and has committed war crime atrocities against humanity in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I can't stand Maxine Waters. But when she's right, she's right.

Fred a couple of points

by Hex Saturday, Jul. 16, 2005 at 3:20 PM

you were cited for saying basicly the same thing about the music at the protest - then at the next one you wondered why people were less then friendly

if it's that big a deal might I suggest a few things

1.) wear earplugs
2.) do other activities that involve less interaction with other people

for radio/TV listening -

3.) use an EQ and notch out the frequencies that bother you, also try adding compression and treble boost so you can listen at a lower volume

I just saw some SOS members refering to you as a pussy - I'm more of a pussy than you are but *I deal with it internally* and remain respectful to other people
therefore I get respect in return

And I don't mean just acting respectful (insincere) either but a deep respect based on very strong values - I was raised to highly value other people and my religion develops an even deeper respect

that's basicly the scope of the problem between you and other people

if I had been in their shoes I would be just as offended because respect is a very important internal value to me

what you just posted above is a clear example of lack of respect - if there's a person who you agree with politically the issue of the person's voice takes a back seat compared to what you agree on and it's rude and disrespectful to especially bring it up in a public forum

but the respect needs to come from within as well (not just simply show a fake respect)
to achieve a balance you have to weigh your personal comfort against whatever factor causes you to *want* to be non-respectful and draw the line right there

it's better to do less respectfully then to do too much UNrespectfully

at the point you start to feel unrespectful you should stop

I run a station but I don't go to protests

I don't because I don't agree enough with that tactic to *remain respectful* in that situation - I don't like joining crowds and conforming - the group think

but I'm highly respectful of the values underlying these activities especially the people involved at the personal level - so I do what I can do respectfully - play radio shows, and stay away from situations where I might not be as respectful as I should be


a balance

PS to IMC'ers

I wanted to add that I have an extremely high amount of respect for people on a personal level - often I wish I was in a location where I could be part of protests but to do activities like remote broadcast and streaming - media support, technical support...

Play Nice Fred

by johnk Saturday, Jul. 16, 2005 at 9:41 PM

Next time you get mad while typing, try and contemplate why. Think about how what you will say will affect people.

PS - I know I should do the same.
