8. Downing Street Memos.
They indicate that the intelligence leading to the Iraq war was formed around policy.

11. Peak Oil...
when people realise what it means they are going to be very confused and then...angry. George Orwell said the greatest form of lie is omission...our political leaders aren't even willing to disuss it in public lest people finally realise there are very horrible times ahead.

14. Over 300,000 people marcing on Washington....
... to demand acountability and to stop Bush's war in Iraq.

But not one dam thing on the news!

The main stream media is owned and operated by Corporate America, and Corporate America is owned and operated by the Bush administration.

Revolution! Time!

16. ditto ...election fraud and reform
the MSM buried it and the body is still under the stairs...they want to keep the lid on it

Also: true casualties in Iraq and true costs of ravaging that country--but that suppression has been going on since the war started, nothing new about that

17. I've been gone for a week so not sure if this has been discussed or
Edited on Mon Oct-03-05 06:49 PM by OhGodNotAgain
not. But I heard yesterday about the suicide bombing outside of a Oklahoma University football game on Saturday evening. No one seems to be making a big deal about it on the news. It seems kind of suspicious to me - not just a suicide. I read that another bomb was found a short distance away from the stadium. It's kind of scary if you ask me. There goes *'s reasoning of "have to fight 'em over there to keep 'em from here". Anyone know any more about it?

But other than that - election fraud would be my top choice. That is the root problem to all of the other myriad of problems.

18. Death toll in New Orleans and Mississippi
It's a crying shame that those people don't get the honor they deserve. I've heard more crying over the 20 who died in the boat accident than anyone who has died in New Orleans or Mississippi.

32. Someone had a thread about that last night
They said that altho the death toll in NOLA was officially at 900+, there was a site on the internet that showed 40,000 were still listed as "missing." WTF!

30. The accelerating collapse of Earth's ability to sustain life
EDIT

"Many environmentalists are pessimistic about the prospects of halting, let alone reversing, this trend. "Are we fighting a losing battle? Yes, we probably are," one naturalist told the IoS last month.

The UK, which is attempting to put climate change at the top of the global agenda during its presidency of the G8 group of industrialised nations, is still struggling to persuade the American, Japanese and Australian governments to admit that mankind's gas emissions are the biggest threat. These three continue to insist there is no proof that climate change is largely manmade.

And many British environmentalists suspect that Tony Blair's public commitment to a tougher global treaty to replace the Kyoto Protocol, aimed at a 60 per cent cut in carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, is not being backed up by the Government in private.

Despite President George Bush's resistance to a new global climate treaty, many US states are being far more radical. Even the G8 communiqué after the Gleneagles summit in July had Mr Bush confirming that the climate was warming.

In Alaska last week, satellite images released by two US universities and the space agency Nasa revealed that the amount of sea-ice cover over the polar ice cap has fallen for the past four years. "A long-term decline is under way," said Walt Meier of the National Snow and Ice Data Centre.

The Arctic's native communities don't need satellite images to tell them this. John Keogak, 47, an Inuvialuit from Canada's North-West Territories, hunts polar bears, seals, caribou and musk ox. "The polar bear is part of our culture," he said. "They use the ice as a hunting ground for the seals. If there is no ice there is no way the bears will be able to catch the seals." He said the number of bears was decreasing and feared his children might not be able to hunt them. He said: "There is an earlier break-up of ice, a later freeze-up. Now it's more rapid. Something is happening."

And now, said Mr Keogak, there was evidence that polar bears are facing an unusual competitor - the grizzly bear. As the sub-Arctic tundra and wastelands thaw, the grizzly is moving north, colonising areas where they were previously unable to survive. Life for Alaska's polar bears is rapidly becoming very precarious."

EDIT

This article began with how native hunters found half a dozen drowned polar bears floating in the ocean 200 miles north of Point Barrow, AK. Bears can swim up to 75-100 miles in Arctic waters in pursuit of seals or mates. However, they can't swim 400 miles, which was how far away the retreating sea ice was from the land.

We are the bears.
