25.Nov.2004 Astrophysiker Davies glaubt, solche Ratschläge solle sich die Menschheit zu Herzen nehmen.

Denn zu viel des Nachbohrens führe womöglich zu einem bösen Ende.

"Jetzt, da die Programmierer wissen, dass wir ihnen auf der Spur sind, ist das Spiel aus", argwöhnt der Forscher.

"Sie könnten ihr Interesse verlieren + die 'Delete'-Taste drücken

25.Nov.2004 Vielleicht sollten sich die Menschen auch gar nicht so viele Gedanken darüber machen, ob sie nun in einer Simulation leben oder nicht.

Der US-Philosoph Hubert Dreyfus etwa sagte über den Actionfilm "The Matrix", dass es die Menschen in der Kino-Trilogie nicht schlecht hätten + so versklavt gar nicht seien.

"Sie können leben, sterben, lieben, arbeiten, treffen Entscheidungen + tun alles, was sie wollen", sagte Dreyfus.

Nur aus der Simulation fliehen könnten sie nicht - aber warum sollten sie auch?

Nur, weil sie auf einer anderen Daseinsebene als Batterien benutzt werden?

"Sie müssen sich nicht daran stören, weil sie es nicht einmal wissen", meint Dreyfus.

25.Nov.2004 ein. "Wenn wir eine offensichtliche Abweichung wie die Veränderung der Lichtgeschwindigkeit finden, können wir nicht herausfinden, ob es sich um einen Simulationsfehler handelt"_{, sagt Kurzweil im Interview}

Wahrscheinlicher sei, dass es sich um eine experimentelle Entdeckung handelt, die schließlich ein besseres Modell der Physik nach sich zieht.

So hätten etwa Abweichungen von den Newtonschen Gesetzen zu Einsteins Relativitätstheorie geführt.

25.Nov.2004 Der Mathematiker + Philosoph Nick Bostrom von der Oxford University hat dem Thema gleich eine ganze Internetseite gewidmet.

Dass Menschen über sich selbst sinnieren können, liege nicht daran, dass das Gehirn eine feuchte graue Masse sei, argumentiert Bostrom.

Notwendig sei vielmehr eine bestimmte Rechenstruktur - die könne auch in einem Computer erzeugt werden.

In seiner Simulationstheorie, erschienen im Fachblatt "Philosophical Quarterly", dampft Bostrom die Diskussion über das Computer-Universum auf drei Thesen ein.

Zumindest eine von ihnen müsse als zutreffend akzeptiert werden:
Die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass eine Zivilisation eine höhere Entwicklungsstufe erreicht als die heutige Menschheit, geht gegen Null - weil sie sich vorher selbst auslöscht;

fast keine hoch entwickelte Zivilisation ist daran interessiert, Wesen wie den Menschen im Computer zu simulieren;

oder wir leben mit an Sicherheit grenzender Wahrscheinlichkeit in einer Simulation.

25.Nov.2004 Im Großen Saal reden fünf Ichs aus fünf Fakultäten, fünf Neuronenbündel aus fünf Professionen elegant aneinander vorbei.
Die Reihen lichten sich. Palmero sitzt noch einen Moment, blättert im Programmheft.

Man könnte das Symposium zur Neurodidaktik besuchen, man könnte sich die Einstein-Ausstellung ansehen, in der Bibliothek. Palmero, als Physiker, ist sehr beeindruckt von Einsteins Leistung;

ein Mann, der mit einer einzigen Formel das Universum, Raum, Zeit erklärt - ein Traum wäre das, so eine Formel, die diese Sache mit dem Hirn und den Neuronen und dem Willen endgültig sortiert.
"Aber das Hirn", sagt Palmero, "ist ungleich komplizierter." Und er blickt aus dem Fenster, auf den Rhein, in den Nebel.

Miserable Failure

Miserable failure ist ein Begriffspaar, das Schlagzeilen macht. And there are things you might not want to know about Michael Moore. Gibt man bei Google als Suchbegriff miserable failure ein, findet man ganz oben auf der Trefferseite die Biographie von George Bush. Seltsam, gell? Wo Google doch beansprucht, die besten Ergebnisse zuerst zu liefern.

Das ist kein Zufall. Die Sache wurde manipuliert. Bush Gegner haben von etlichen Websites aus Links gesetzt mit dem Namen miserable failure + darunter die offizielle Bush-Biographieseite des Weißen Hauses verlinkt.

00.Dez.2003 -_Anfang- meldete die BBC, dass 32 solcher Links gereicht hätten, um die Seite nach vorne zu bringen. (Siehe: 'Miserable failure' links to Bush )

24.Nov.2004 USA Media Miss Rumsfeld's 'Dirty Wars' Talk : If three, five, or 10 years from now, Latin America returns to the military dictatorships and ''dirty wars'' of its all-too-recent past, analysts may point to the past week's conference in Quito of the hemisphere's defence ministers -- and particularly Pentagon chief Donald Rumsfeld's role in it -- as a milestone in that journey.

24.Nov.2004 Rumsfeld in Nicaragua : The reason?: Fallujah and SAM-7s.: It is unlikely that the peoples of Latin America are likely to ignore the experience of Iraq, of Fallujah.

24.Nov.2004 Tom Hayden: How to End the Iraq War : Instead of assuming that the Bush administration has an "exit strategy", the movement needs to force our government to exit.

24.Nov.2004 Shoot the Messenger : When Darrin Mortenson, a former embed for a California paper,

24.Nov.2004 This analysis details an odd phenomenon in east Cleveland.

In precincts where voters historically favor Democrats to an overwhelming degree, far-right third party candidates received large numbers of votes - sometimes ridiculously large numbers.

(Remember the "Jews for Buchanan" phenomenon of 00.000.2000 ?) Since the Bush percentage of the vote is consistent with that seen in past elections, any vote switch must have come at Kerry's expense.

Yeah, the numbers are small -- but shennanigans of this sort do add up. _{URL: https://cannonfire.blogspot.com/}

24.Nov.2004 We've already established that this election was crooked. Now we are discussing how crooked.
Here's a poser: What if we discover that Bush would have won (barely) even if his forces had not engaged in systemic e-vote manipulation?

(I doubt that such is the case -- but for the moment, consider the idea as a hypothetical.)

Would his reign maintain any legitimacy?

In some countries, I am told, the law stipulates that any politician who attempts to rig the vote will automatically lose his post, regardless of the degree of tampering.
While you ponder that one, here are some links...._{URL: https://cannonfire.blogspot.com/}
24.Nov.2004 Even many skeptics are coming around to the view that "something funny" occurred on 02.Nov.2004

24.Nov.2004 The economy is headed for disaster.

That's the word from Stephen Pizzo, respected author of Inside Job.

(Any number of authors are saying the same thing.)

When Bush was asked by a Columbian reporter how the U.S. would pay for the war on drugs despite its massive deficit, Bush answered: "By working very hard." (No, I am not making this up!)
More proof that fundamentalists are sick freaks : In Anchorage, Alaska's Matanuska Christian School, principal Steve Unfreid had himself whipped in front of two teens, who had committed the "sin" of kissing girls.

24.Nov.2004 The Government Accoutability Office is going to investigate the voting irregularities of 2004 elections.

Here is the press release we just received in our email minutes ago:
Government Accountability Office to Conduct Investigation of 2004 Election Irregularities
(Washington, DC) Reps. John Conyers, Jr., Jerrold Nadler, Robert Wexler, Robert Scott + Rush Holt announced

24.Nov.2004 today that, in response to their 05.Nov.2004+08.Nov.2004 letters to USA Government Accountability Office (GAO),

the GAO has decided to move forward with an investigation of election irregularities in the 2004 election.

The five Members issued the following statement:
"We are pleased that the GAO has reviewed the concerns expressed in our letters and has found them of sufficient merit to warrant further investigation. On its own authority, the GAO will examine the security and accuracy of voting technologies, distribution + allocation of voting machines + counting of provisional ballots.

We are hopeful that GAO's non-partisan + expert analysis will get to the bottom of the flaws uncovered in the 2004 election.

As part of this inquiry, we will provide copies of specific incident reports received in our offices, including more than 57,000 such complaints provided to the House Judiciary Committee.
"The core principle of any democracy is the consent of the governed.

All Americans, no matter how they voted, need to have confidence that when they cast their ballot, their voice is heard."
The Members listed above were joined in requesting the non-partisan GAO investigation by Reps. Melvin Watt, John Olver, Bob Filner, Gregory Meeks, Barbara Lee, Tammy Baldwin, Louise Slaughter + George Miller.
As well, more breaking news seems to be coming this afternoon as well.

Notable items I hope to have more on later today:
Judy Woodruff teases with "Did E-Voting Work?" on her show scheduled for 3:30pm ET (12:30pm PT) (A report at CNN.com on the GAO Investigation is now online here. Video of Woodruff's report here.)
I may have some more "news from Jeff Fisher" for you later today (he called last night + I hope to speak to him shortly)
And then there was this last night from Bev Harris at BlackBoxVoting.org:
23.Nov.2004 UPDATE due Tuesday - A significant development, announcement late afternoon or evening.
22.Nov.2004 BREAKING -- MONDAY : Florida counties stonewall records requests.

While some Florida counties have been attentive to the public interest and have promptly complied with our public records requests (scroll down for the Nov. 2 records request, for critical audit diagnostics), other counties have stalled, stonewalled, failed to comply in a timely manner, or outright refused to provide the records. Stay tuned for who they are and what happens next.

Thanks, Consene...though one of the reasons for said vacation was my brain now operating at sub-par levels due to overload and exhaustion.

I'll continue to measure the need for brain regeneration versus news that needs to be told. Which means...most likely...more news shortly... :-(

Thanks for post about the GAO investigation Brad. Had been looking out for that decision.

There's a Post-Election Syndrome out here...the main symptom is a sudden inexplicable allergy to any form of mainstream media.

So your input is crucial but if you need time out to recharge, OK but hurry back.
Isn't this surreal? In a nation full of mass media we are starving for tidbits of truth...like a bunch of goldfish gasping at the top of the bowl--and it sure looks like somebody wants to flush us out of the system.

But together we are gonna swim right thru their cheap little nets... 02.Nov.2004 election was an eye-opener.

Follow the slime trails_{.... :) :) :)}

Brad,
Thank you....your time and effort is much appreciated and worth it.... but do take care of yourself. Mainstream media isn't touching any of this *at all* --- time off from the mess will still find a mess.... and maybe others who have taken up some of the slack... here's a new site.... they are trying to keep everything as a verified item, too... http://electionsquad.org/

24.Nov.2004 I am so concerned with our country and the division. I still stand by my vote, which was for John Kerry.

George W. Bush has a lot of work to do to change the way I feel.

Putting him up on a billboard does not make him a better president. His actions speak louder than words.

I wonder if anyone else finds the president’s picture on a billboard odd? I’m sorry, but it reminds me of countries with dictators + it seems people are making him out to be the messiah, the savior of our world.

Fear, fear, fear. I’m tired of being afraid.

24.Nov.2004 Others said they’d seen a similar sign in Jacksonville along I-95.

“We don’t do political advertising,” said Clear Channel sales representative Brad Parsons in Jacksonville. He said the photograph was bogus.

A second Jacksonville rep acknowledged the company did political advertising but only when paid for by a third party.

When asked if he would look at the picture for verification, he declined to give out his email address.

The posted was first noticed by the liberal forum Democratic Underground.

24.Nov.2004 _-recently- A billboard put up in Orlando bearing a smiling photograph of President Bush with the words “Our Leader” is raising eyebrows among progressives who feel the poster is akin to that of propaganda used by tyrannical regimes.

RAW STORY confirmed the billboard’s existence Monday evening. At our behest, a member of an Orlando media organization drove past the billboard on two occasions and verified that it was indeed the one pictured.

The billboard pictured, which is on I-4, says that it is a “political public service message brought to you by Clear Channel Outdoor.”

23.Nov.2004 "Economic Armageddon" _{(link fixed)} The only story more important than vote fraud is the hellish condition of the USA economy, due to the ghastly overspending of George W. Bush.

Those who still don't get it must read this piece in the Boston Herald.

Morgan Stanley's chief financial expert Stephen Roach, is privately telling associates that our nation has only a 1-in-10 chance of avoiding "armageddeon":
In a nutshell, Roach's argument is that America's record trade deficit means the dollar will keep falling. To keep foreigners buying T-bills and prevent a resulting rise in inflation, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan will be forced to raise interest rates further and faster than he wants.
The result: U.S. consumers, who are in debt up to their eyeballs, will get pounded. Wonder how the propagandists are gong to blame that situation on Bill Clinton?

24.Nov.2004 But the news is pretty damn startling. The Government Accounting Office has finally decided to investigation the many reports of "irregularities" with the electronic vote. See also Judy Woodruff's report.
Maureen Farrell has written a fine piece on the media reaction to the growing academic consensus that the official count does not reflect the will of the electorate. She directs our attention to yet another academic assessment by David Dill of Stanford.
Bev Harris , at this writing, has not yet made the promised "significant" announcement. When she does, I hope to offer a few comments.
Remember Dr. Steven Freeman? The one who said that the exit poll discrepancy in a mere three states was a 250,000-to-one shot? He has a new, updated version of his paper out.

24.Nov.2004 Eine Sprecherin des Weißen Hauses, Claire Buchan, sagte dagegen, die USA seien über "umfangreiche und glaubwürdige Anzeichen für begangenen Betrug in der ukrainischen Präsidentenwahl zutiefst besorgt". Man unterstütze entschieden die Überprüfung des Abstimmungsverlaufs und appelliere an die ukrainische Regierung, kein Ergebnis amtlich zu bestätigen, bevor Ermittlungen über organisierten Betrug abgeschlossen seien.

24.Nov.2004 Putin erklärte unterdessen in Lissabon, er habe Wiktor Janukowitsch auf Grundlage von Wählernachfragen gratuliert. Das andere Wählernachfragen den Oppositionskandidaten Juschtschenko vorne sahen, erwähnte er nicht. Das russische Außenministerium warf der EU vor, mit einer Parteinahme für Juschtschenko die "Opposition offen zur illegalen Anwendung von Gewalt zu drängen". EU und USA ermutigten "radikalen Oppositionskräfte in der Ukraine".

24.Nov.2004 Das US-Außenministerium bestätigte gestern, dass der russische Botschafter Jurij Uschakow am Montag einbestellt worden sei. Die für Europa zuständige stellvertretende Außenministerin Elizabeth Jones habe wissen wollen, warum Präsident Wladimir Putin bereits dem Regierungskandidaten Wiktor Janukowitsch gratuliert habe. Das russische Außenministerium bestätigte den Vorgang nicht direkt, sprach aber für den Fall, dass er tatsächlich stattgefunden habe, von einer Einmischung in die inneren Angelegenheiten zweier Staaten. Eine entsprechende Erklärung wurde von einem ranghohen Beamten des Moskauer Außenministeriums anonym herausgegeben. "Wenn das wirklich stattgefunden hat, würde das eine beispiellose Einmischung in die Beziehungen zweier Länder bedeuten", schrieb der russische Außenamtsbeamte. Unklar war, warum das Außenministerium nicht wissen sollte, ob das Treffen stattgefunden haben sollte oder nicht. Ein Sprecher des State Departments, Kurtis Cooper, bestätigte den Vorgang erst nach der anonymen russischen Stellungnahme.

24.Nov.2004 Aber auch Kutschma schlug in einer im Fernsehen verlesenen Erklärung zunächst einen scharfen Ton an. Die Massendemonstrationen in der Hauptstadt bezeichnete er als "politische Farce", die extrem gefährlich sei und zu unvorhersehbaren Konsequenzen führen könne. Er rief aber auch zu einer Verhandlungslösung auf: "Wir sollten friedlich und mit Bedacht die komplizierte Lage erörtern und der Gesellschaft wirkliche Schritte zur Beilegung der Krise vorschlagen." Er sei überzeugt, dass dies der einzige Weg sei, eine ausgewogene Lösung zu finden, damit die Ukraine nicht zerfalle.
Juschtschenko kündigte zuvor eine Kampagne des zivilen Ungehorsams an. "Die Ukraine ist an der Schwelle eines zivilen Konflikts", sagte er in einer Dringlichkeitssitzung des Parlaments. "Wir haben zwei Wahlmöglichkeiten: Entweder wird das Parlament oder die Straße die Antwort geben."

In Kiew wächst die Gefahr einer direkten Konfrontation zwischen Anhängern der beiden Kandidaten für die ukrainische Präsidentschaft: Während Unterstützer des Oppositionsführers Juschtschschenko eine Zeltstadt auf dem Unabhängigkeitsplatz errichtet haben, bauten Gefolgsleute von Premier Janukowitsch heute Morgen ihr Lager nur 500 Meter entfernt auf.

24.Nov.2004 "Sozialismus ist die einzige Hoffnung"
Kubas Staats- und Parteichef Fidel Castro hält unverdrossen an seinen Idealen fest. Mit einem Loblied auf den Sozialismus ehrte er nun seinen chinesischen Amtskollegen Hu Jintao. "Der Sozialismus bleibt definitiv die einzige reale Hoffnung auf Frieden und das Überleben unserer Art", sagte er in Havanna.

24.Nov.2004 Havanna - "China hat sich heute in die vielversprechendste Hoffnung und das beste Beispiel für alle Länder der Dritten Welt verwandelt", fügte der 78-jährige Revolutionsführer bei der Verleihung des Jose-Marti-Ordens, der höchsten kubanischen Auszeichnung, an seinen Gast hinzu. Hu Jintao war am Montag in Kuba eingetroffen. Es war der Abschluss einer Lateinamerikareise, bei der Hu in Brasilien, Argentinien und Chile milliardenschwere chinesische Investitionen angekündigt hatte. Auf Kuba will China mehr als 500 Millionen US-Dollar in die Modernisierung der Nickelindustrie investieren. Für China haben die Rohstoffe Lateinamerikas strategische Bedeutung.
Kuba und China pflegen seit der Auflösung der Sowjetunion enge Beziehungen. Während China seine Volkswirtschaft aber immer weiter für privates Kapital geöffnet hat, hat das kommunistische Kuba die 1993 eingeleiteten zaghaften Wirtschaftsreformen zum Teil schon wieder rückgängig gemacht. Castro, der seinen Gast wegen eines Kniescheibenbruchs im Rollstuhl empfing, hatte China zuletzt Anfang 2003 besucht.

23.Nov.2004 UPDATE due Tuesday Nov 23 -- A significant development, announcement late afternoon or evening.

22.Nov.2004 BREAKING -- MONDAY NOV 22 2004: Florida counties stonewall records requests.

While some Florida counties have been attentive to the public interest + have promptly complied with our public records requests (scroll down for the 02.Nov.2004 records request, for critical audit diagnostics),

other counties have stalled, stonewalled, failed to comply in a timely manner, or outright refused to provide the records. Stay tuned for who they are and what happens next.

24.Nov.2004 The Washington Post concurs:
The outcome of the vote has brought this confrontation to a head. According to exit polls, the democratic opposition won handily, by 54 to 43 % in one survey.

But yesterday the government revealed its intent to steal the election, announcing that Mr. Yanukovych had a decisive lead in the vote count.

Tens of thousands of outraged citizens filled the center of Kiev last night to oppose this authoritarian coup.

The USA + other Western governments must do everything possible to support them.

23.Nov.2004 Here come the Dems!

The Ohio Democratic party has officially announced its participation in the recount effort. From the press release:
"As Senator Kerry stated in his concession speech in Boston, we do not necessarily expect the results of the election to change,

however, we believe it necessary to make sure everyone's vote is counted fairly + accurately," said Dennis White, Ohio Democratic Party chair.

Anyone who denounces the tepid tone of this announcement does not understand politics.

The recount will not proceed efficiently if the Republicans combat the effort with a series of Orwellian hate rallies.

At this point, low key is the best key.
Can the recount swing the election toward Kerry, even in the absence of courtroom-quality proof of vote tampering? Yes.

22.Nov.2004 Vote fraud? Maybe somewhere else -- but not here The evidence of election fraud keeps getting stronger -- and stranger .
Vote fraud in the Ukraine. We must consider the Washington Times an authoritative source -- after all, it is owned by an actual messiah . (No, really! He even has a crown to prove his messiah-hood.) I was therefore startled when the Times graced its audience with this gorgeous paragraph:
Election authorities said the government-backed presidential candidate, Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych, maintained a comfortable margin with nearly all votes counted, despite exit polls showing opposition candidate Viktor Yushchenko winning. The Washington Post concurs:
The outcome of the vote has brought this confrontation to a head. According to exit polls, the democratic opposition won handily, by 54 % to 43 % in one survey.

But yesterday the government revealed its intent to steal the election, announcing that Mr. Yanukovych had a decisive lead in the vote count.

Tens of thousands of outraged citizens filled the center of Kiev last night to oppose this authoritarian coup.

The USA and other Western governments must do everything possible to support them. All right, class...let's review:
What is the proof of vote fraud in the Ukraine? The final tallies disagreed with the exit polls. Do we have any other mechanism to verify the vote? No, we do not.
So why is vote fraud thinkable there but not here ?
Perhaps now even the dimmest of our red state brethren will grasp the real reason Republicans want to eliminate exit polls in this country.
Bev Harris. Blackboxvoting.org tells us to expect a major announcement in the afternoon or evening (November 23). Keep checking there...
Thom Hartmann has a good piece on what Ms. Harris has been doing in Florida.
16.Nov.2004 pursuant to a public records request, she asked to see the poll tapes for over one hundred optical scanners used in Volusia county.

(A poll tape is the print-out of results made the night of an election.)

She was handed a set of unofficial copies, suspiciously mis-dated and lacking signatures.

Since genuine poll tapes are signed by officials at each precinct, she had good reason to suspect deception.
When she demanded to see the real poll tapes, she was told to be at the elections warehouse 17.Nov.2004 _{-the next morning (the 17th)-.}

17.Nov.2004 She arrived early, only to discover election officials huddled over a table covered, apparently, with poll tapes.

They shoved her out the door -- where she made a startling discovery:
"On the porch was a garbage bag," Bev said, "and so I looked in it and + lo and behold, there were public record tapes."
Thrown away. Discarded. Waiting to be hauled off.
"It was technically stinking, in fact," Bev added, "because what they had done was to have thrown some of their polling tapes, which are the official records of the election, into the garbage.

These were the ones signed by the poll workers. These are something we had done an official public records request for."
When the elections officials inside realized that the people outside were going through the trash, they called the police and one came out to challenge Bev.

One of Bev Harris' associates caught the shoving match on videotape.
Back at the elections office, Harris was able to compare genuine poll tapes with the fakes originally handed to her.

Sure enough, they discovered glaring mismatches. Her team then discovered a second hasty dumping of more original poll tapes.
_{URL: https://cannonfire.blogspot.com/}
23.Nov.2004 Finally... Anthony Wade has published a good story on the allegations of a media blackout.

(Incidentally, it is possible that even Olbermann may now be less-inclined to dismiss those allegations, if I read between his lines aright.) An excerpt:
Right now there are going to be recounts in New Hampshire and Ohio , yet there is no coverage from the media.

There are additional stories daily about machine problems, voter fraud and statistics that defy logic, yet the media turns their collective heads and then sticks them in the sand.

How much is it going to take for the pundits and talking heads to admit there is a story?

Pretending that doctorate level citizens are wild-eyed conspiracy theorists is only proving that the media has little credibility left.

23.Nov.2004 SPIEGEL ONLINE: Janukowitsch wird jedoch aus Moskau kräftig unterstützt. Präsident Wladimir Putin hat ihm schon zum Wahlsieg gratuliert.
Zabuzhko: Der ist lustig. Doch darum geht es nicht. Vielmehr darum, den wahren Wahlsieger Juschtschenko auf legale Art und Weise ins Amt zu bringen.
SPIEGEL ONLINE: Das Land scheint politisch zerrissen zu sein. Hier die Anhänger des prorussischen Janukowitsch, dort die des prowestlichen Juschtschenko, hier die Westukraine, dort die Ostukraine ...
Zabuzhko: ... das ist Quatsch, ein Mythos, der Moskauer Propaganda entspringt. Es gibt keine wirkliche Zerrissenheit, denn Janukowitsch und Kutschma werden Umfragen zufolge von höchstens zehn Prozent des Volkes unterstützt. Diese Wahl hat bewiesen, dass sich das Volk der Ukraine einig ist in der Ablehnung des jetzigen Regimes. Vor 13 Jahren sind wir ein Staat geworden, jetzt sind wir gerade dabei, zur Nation zu werden.

URL: https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,druck-329305,00.html
23.Nov.2004 SPIEGEL ONLINE: Könnte es zu einer Revolution kommen, sollte Janukowitsch nicht einlenken - ähnlich der vor einem Jahr in Georgien, die zum Sturz Eduard Schewardnadses geführt hat?
Zabuzhko: Zurzeit sieht es nicht so aus. Ständig gibt es neue gute Nachrichten. Polizei- und Armeeoffiziere zum Beispiel laufen zum Volk über.

Das ist sehr wichtig, weil Kiew voller Truppen ist, die aus dem ganzen Land zusammengezogen wurden. Die Staatsmacht löst sich zunehmend auf.

Die derzeitige politische Klasse muss sich wahrscheinlich darauf vorbereiten, von der Macht Abschied zu nehmen.
SPIEGEL ONLINE: Die meisten Medien sind staatlich kontrolliert. Woher beziehen Sie Ihre Informationen?

23.Nov.2004 SPIEGEL ONLINE: Zehntausende aus der West- und Zentralukraine sind auf dem Weg in die Hauptstadt, um Wiktor Juschtschenko, den Kandidaten der Opposition, zu unterstützen.

Die Sicherheitskräfte sind massiert worden. Wie groß ist die Gefahr, dass es zu blutigen Kämpfen zwischen der Staatsmacht und Demonstranten kommt?
Zabuzhko: Schwer zu sagen. Doch das hier ist keine Revolution, sondern eine riesige Aktion des Ungehorsams.

Es ist so klar geworden, dass Ministerpräsident Wiktor Janukowitsch keinerlei Unterstützung im Volk hat.

Wir fordern, dass die Wahl für ungültig erklärt wird.

In der Ukraine demonstrieren Hunderttausende gegen das Regime von Präsident Kutschma und dessen Nachfolgekandidaten Janukowitsch.

Truppen ziehen sich um und in der Hauptstadt zusammen. SPIEGEL ONLINE sprach mit der in Kiew lebenden Autorin Oksana Zabuzhko, eine der bedeutendsten Schriftstellerinnen der Ukraine.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Frau Zabuzhko, Sie haben die Nacht hindurch in Kiew demonstriert.

Wie ist die Lage jetzt?
Oksana Zabuzhko: Die Situation ändert sich minütlich. Der Sieg des Volkes wird immer augenscheinlicher.

Die Hoffnung ist groß, dass es zu einem legalen Machtwechsel kommt.

Es sind momentan rund eine halbe Million Menschen in den Straßen Kiews. Die Stimmung ist geprägt von Siegesgewissheit, Brüderlichkeit und Zuversicht - eine wunderbare Atmosphäre.

23.Nov.2004 Die russische Rückendeckung auch gegen Massendemonstrationen der Opposition in Kiew dürfte Janukowitsch wichtiger sein als die vorsichtige Kritik aus Europa + die massiven Vorwürfe aus den USA in Sachen Wahlfälschung.

23.Nov.2004 In einem sind sich viele Ukrainer dieser Tage einig: die Ergebnisse der Präsidentenwahlen, die Sergej Kiwalow, Chef der Zentralen Wahlkommission in Kiew,

sind vermutlich so echt wie seine falschen Zähne, die er fletschend zur Schau stellt.

Mit offiziell 49,4 % der Stimmen, so Kiwalow, habe der ukrainische Premierminister Wiktor Janukowitsch den Herausforderer Wiktor Juschtschenko besiegt, der 46,7 % der Stimmen erhalten habe.

Möglich wurde der überraschend deutliche offizielle Wahlsieg des als Russland-freundlich geltenden Janukowitsch durch eine angebliche Wahlbeteiligung von örtlich mehr als 90 % in den Janukowitsch-Hochburgen im russischsprachigen Osten der Ukraine, etwa im Gebiet Donezk. Dort hat der Premier verdächtige 96 % erhalten.

23.Nov.2004 Amman – "Wir prüfen die Möglichkeit einer Klage gegen die USA + die US-Regierung", erklärte ein Sprecher der Saddam-Anwälte am Montag.

Demnach wollen die Verteidiger den Fall vor dem Internationalen Gerichtshof in Den Haag verhandeln.
Den USA werden Kriegsverbrechen gegen den Irak + die Iraker vorgeworfen.

Die Saddam-Anwälte wollen die USA wegen Massenmordes, Verstoß gegen die Genfer-Konventionen + den Vorfällen in der umkämpften Stadt Falludscha zur Verantwortung ziehen.
Wie der Sprecher sagte, akzeptiert der Gerichtshof keine Klagen von Einzelpersonen.

Deswegen soll die ehemalige irakische Regierung als Kläger auftreten.

"Wir sehen in Saddam den legitimen Präsidenten des Iraks.

Seine Regierung ist die einzige Regierung der Iraker", sagte der Sprecher.

Deswegen sei Saddam berichtigt Klage einzureichen.
Auch andere Mitglieder der Ex-Regierung könnten in dieser Weise aktiv werden.

Demnach sind die Verteidiger mit Vertretern des gestürzten Regimes in Kontakt. Namen nannte der Sprecher nicht.
Weiter verwiesen die Anwälte darauf, dass sie bislang noch keine Möglichkeit hatten, mit Saddam zu sprechen.

Deswegen hatte die Verteidigung bereits zuvor mit einer Klage gedroht._{URL: https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,druck-329199,00.html}

Crash in Texas: Ein Privatflugzeug, das den früheren US-Präsidenten Bush [BGW968] in Houston abholen sollte, ist abgestürzt. Drei Menschen an Bord kamen ums Leben.

Houston - Die Maschine vom Typ Gulfstream G-1159A ging am Montag bei dichtem Nebel in unbebautem Gebiet drei Kilometer südlich des Flughafens nieder.

Der Sprecher Bush [BGHW948]s, Tom Freschette, sagte in Houston, das Flugzeug sei in Dallas gestartet +

23.Nov.2004 We are surrounded by poor and low-income people.

(The definitions can be elastic + easily blurred, but essentially we're talking about individuals and families that don't have enough money to cover the essentials - food, shelter, clothing, transportation + so forth.)

Many of them are full-time workers + some have more than one job.
A new study by the Center for an Urban Future, a nonprofit research group, found that

more than 550,000 families in New York - a quarter of all working families in the state - had incomes that were too low to cover their basic needs.
USA just had a bitterly contested presidential election, but this very serious problem (it's hardly confined to New York) was not a major part of the debate._{URL: https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,druck-329193,00.html}
23.Nov.2004 Shhh, Don't Say 'Poverty'
Even though 11.2 % of households struggle to feed themselves, poverty is not even close to being on USA national agenda. By BOB HERBERT

Former Senator Phil Gramm, a Republican from Texas who was known for his orneriness, once said, "We're the only nation in the world where all our poor people are fat."
That particular example of compassionate conservatism came to mind as I looked over a report from the Department of Agriculture showing that

more than 12 million USA families continue to struggle + not always successfully, to feed themselves.
The 12 million families represent 11.2 % of all USA households.

"At some time during the year," the report said,

"these households were uncertain of having, or unable to acquire, enough food for all their members because they had insufficient money or other resources." _{URL: https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,druck-329193,00.html}

00.000.2004 President Bush [BGW968] defied both public opinion + history to win the election 51 % - 48 % .

How was this done? Simple...

Vote suppression/voter intimidation and deception. Shortages of voting locations and ballot forms.

Foreign monitors barred from polls. Unmatched exit polls/actual results - actual results always skewed to Republicans. Masses of e-Voting "glitches".

Computers lost votes.

Presidential votes miscast on e-Voting machines throughout the US.

More recorded votes than voters.

22.Nov.2004 Everything that evolves is a modified version of something else that already evolved," said Greene.

"If you can trace the evolutionary history of the structures involved in a certain kind of thinking then perhaps you can make the case that the thinking in question is shaped by the creature's evolutionary history."

This kind of thinking is what led Dr. Andreas Bartels, now at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, Tubingen, Germany, to propose (on the basis of fMRI work) that romantic love evolved from maternal love.

22.Nov.2004 Attention world! Ukrainian revolution

Yesterday, Ukrainians voted in the second round of the 2004 presidential elections.

According to the Central Electoral Committee, prime minister Viktor Yanukovych appears to have won.
It is no doubt in my mind that the elections have been rigged. IT WAS A FRAUD!!!
there is no need to go deep into details to see how blatantly were the results skewed.

In the east, in the prime minister's stronghold, Donetsk region, the turnout was 97 %.

It just can't be!

Unless one lives in North Korea or the former Soviet Union, turnout could never be that high, no matter what. Apparently, Ukraine has joined that list.
There is a big rally going on in Kyiv right now, about 100,000 people out there, on the streets, protesting the outcome.

I hope there is enough determination to keep the pressure so that the authorities will listen. But I have few illusions.

They didn't hesitate to rig the elections for they knew how much was at stake.
Russia, which had been shamelessly interfering in the Ukrainian internal affairs, has already congratulated Yanukovych on his victory.

Western observers though have protested the violations + deemed the elections unfair.
IT IS NOT ENOUGH.
I really hope that Western governments + public opinion will finally pay attention.

We need your help, we need heads of Western governments to take a stand + come to the rescue of Ukrainian democracy.
I hope that cheap Russian gas + oil haven't bought Putin quiet approval of his imperialism.

06.Nov.2004 Is a 'civil cold war' starting in ^USA America?

If so, it seems the media is fueling it or ignoring it: look at this headline: "Americans flock to Canada's immigration Web site"

Recent events :

If you have not noticed, Republicans are claiming, with a slim majority, to have a widespread mandate to ‘adjust’ USA government to what they think is a new conservative paradigm.

Bush [BGW968] received the most votes of any president in history.

Cheney, Dick said that.

Wow, that must sound so convincing if you read “The Drudge Report”, but did you know

Kerry [KFJ966] received the second most votes in American election history ?

Doesn’t anyone bother to mention to Dick that the population of the USA is also bigger than ever ?

Certainly not the big media.

Dick Cheney didn’t include that part when he self proclaimed this huge mandate.

That about sums up the state of the Republican Party: half the facts, half the morals, lots of lapel pins .

Since when has any nation trembled before a handful of criminals?

Call them what you may— Pirates ? Outlaws ? Gangs ? Or Goliath ?

They have never had a future much less a projection of a hundred years of successful criminality.

Mr. Bush [BGW968] needs war.

Mr. Bobbitt sells the idea of the necessity of war in this quote:

“There is a widespread view that war is simply a pathology of the State, that healthy states will not fight wars.

This view ignores the role strategy plays in the formation and continuance of states.

War, like law, sustains the State by giving it the means to carry out its purposes of protection, preservation + defense.” (p. 780)

How Machiavellian Mr. Bobbitt sounds. Peace is bad for us. And war is not only good—it’s a necessity.

In actuality, the concept that dominionist minded conservatives should establish parallel or dual institutions is a new form of segregation.

This is especially apparent when a conservative institution offers the same services or products as the liberal oriented institutions.

In other words,

if it is not possible for dominionists to takeover or grab power in every institution —they create a parallel world so that the left is to be separated + segregated from the right + conservatives are urged to purchase from the conservative institutions.

The fact that Weyrich’s plan has actually been instituted is all around us.

The Council on Foreign Relations is mimicked by the secretive dominionist Council for National Policy. [2]

The so called “liberal” press is countered with Fox News + Sun Myung Moon’s Washington Times +

dominionist talk show hosts spew their right wing political views + venom from coast to coast.

Public schools are countered with private home + chartered schools.

And in the last few months a move has been made within the churches to break-up and divide denominations along the lines of conservative beliefs in certain social issues

so that two sets of churches will be created: one that practices right wing politics + one that is liberal!

“We must, as Mr. Weyrich has suggested, develop a network of parallel cultural institutions

but will in fact be forced to supersede it — if it is to succeed at all—

because it will pursue a very different strategy + be premised on a very different view of its role in society….

“There will be three main stages in the unfolding of this movement.

The first stage will be devoted to the development of a highly motivated elite able to coordinate future activities.

The second stage will be devoted to the development of institutions designed to make an impact on the wider elite +

a relatively small minority of the masses.

The third stage will involve changing the overall character of American popular culture….

“Our movement will be entirely destructive + entirely constructive.

We will not try to reform the existing institutions.

We only intend to weaken them + eventually destroy them.

We will endeavor to knock our opponents off-balance + unsettle them at every opportunity.

All of our constructive energies will be dedicated to the creation of our own institutions….“

Weyrich, _Paul’s Secret Manual on How to Win Politically

00.Feb.2004-23.Nov.2004 Since the writing + posting of my essay, The Despoiling of America

there is more + more evidence that not only has a cultural war been launched, but that the plotters are winning it. “Dominionism” now looks more like a term that is applicable to both right-wing-religious believers + to

the neo-cons who were created + born in an astonishing resurgence of an immoral Machiavellianism: both groups believe in domination and control.

While religious adherents adopted a decidedly heretical Christian doctrine,[1] the neo-cons continue to use the American churches to help execute their cabal.

It was expressed this way by a Yurica Report talk board participant:

“One of the more sinister aspects of the current crisis is the influence of Strauss, Leo on the pro-war, “neo-cons” who are determining so much of USA foreign policy.

While the Christian right thinks it is running the show, Strauss, Leo s irreligious philosophy is actually in control.

Strauss, Leo believed that the rulers should not be religious, but should use religion to manage the people — which he evidently regarded as a stupid herd.

Strauss, Leo also believed that a state of war was great for controlling + directing the masses.

So it’s all come together: the weirdest book of the bible [Revelations], with its mysterious disasters;

the scheming behind the scenes warmongers + an incident of terrorism that has served admirably as the Project for a New American Century’s hoped-for ‘new Pearl Harbor.’” Adrien Rain

Americans + the main-stream media have been very slow in catching on to the fact that we are in a war—a war that is cultural + religious + political.

One document not mentioned in The Despoiling of America is the closeted manual that reveals how the right wing in American politics can get + keep power.

It was created under the tutelage of Weyrich, Paul , the man who founded the Free Congress Foundation.

Conservative leaders consider Weyrich, Paul to be the “most powerful man in American politics today.”

There is no question of Weyrich, Paul immense influence in conservative circles.

Weyrich, Paul is also considered the founder of the Heritage Foundation,

a conservative think tank made possible with funding from Coors, Joseph + Mellon-Scaife, Richard.

00.000.1973-00.000.1974 Weyrich, Paul , Heritage Foundation Founding President.

To get a sense of how REACTIONARY the political fight for power in the USA is,

we need to look at a few quotes from what has been dubbed, “Paul Weyrich’s Teaching Manual,”

the Free Congress Foundation’s strategic plan on how to gain control of the government of the USA

Written by Heubeck, Eric, titled, “The Integration of Theory and Practice: A Program for the New Traditionalist Movement,” the document is no longer available at the Free Congress Foundation’s website for obvious reasons. But excerpts are published at the Yurica Report . The excerpts explain why the Dominionists are winning; the tactics they endorse are sheer Machiavellian:

I have paraphrased the four immoral principles of the Dominionist movement as the following:

1) Falsehoods are not only acceptable, they are a necessity.

The corollary is: The masses will accept any lie if it is spoken with vigor, energy + dedication.

2) It is necessary to be cast under the cloak of “goodness”

whereas all opponents + their ideas must be cast as “evil.”

3) Complete destruction of every opponent must be accomplished through unrelenting personal attacks.

4) The creation of the appearance of overwhelming power + brutality is necessary

in order to destroy the will of opponents to launch opposition of any kind.

According to Jeffry Sharlet ,who wrote about a particular Dominionist leadership training group in Harper’s magazine -

Hitler’s „Mein Kampf“ studied as textbooks in Dominionist leadership training group +

William L. Shirer’s „The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich“ studied as textbooks in Dominionist leadership training group

The Myth of Terrorism + How the Corporate Complex Joined the Power Grab

Yes! To this thought I hold with firm persistence;
The last result of wisdom stamps it true:
He only earns his freedom and existence,
Who daily conquers them anew.
Thus here, by dangers girt, shall glide away
Of childhood, manhood, age, the vigorous day:
And such a throng I fain would see,--
Stand on free soil among a people free!
Then dared I hail the Moment fleeing:
“Ah, still delay—thou art so fair !”

22.Nov.2004 On one of Powell's futile diplomatic trips, his informal conversation with reporters turned to a new book, The Accidental American: Tony Blair and the Presidency, by James Naughtie.

In it, Powell is quoted as describing the neocons to British foreign minister, Jack Straw, as "fucking crazies".

That, the reporters suggested, might be an apt title for his next volume of memoirs. Powell laughed uncontrollably.

22.Nov.2004 Colin Powell's final scene was a poignant but harsh exposure of his self-delusion + humiliation.

The former general Powell held in his head an idea of himself as sacrificing + disciplined.

But the good soldier Powell was dismissed at last by his commander-in-chief as a bad egg.

Bush [BGW968] + Cheney + Rumsfeld regarded Powell either as a useful tool or a vain obstructionist.

Bush [BGW968] + Cheney + Rumsfeld deployed Powell s reputation as the most popular man + the most credible face in the US for their own Bush [BGW968] + Cheney + Rumsfeld ends +

when Powell contributed an independent view Powell was isolated + undermined.

As secretary of state Powell has been a peripheral figure, even a fig leaf, ever since his climactic moment before the UN security council on which Powell staked his credibility.

There Powell presented the case that WMD in Iraq required war, a case consisting of 26 falsehoods + about which Powell later claimed to have been "deceived".

When the statue of Saddam was toppled, Powell offered President Bush [BGW968] 17 volumes of Powell : Future of Iraq project, but it was rejected.

Predicting everything from the looting to the insurgency + suggesting how it might be avoided, the Powell : Future of Iraq project was politically incorrect.

Powell had wanted to stay on for the first six months of Bush [BGW968]'s second term to help shepherd a new Middle East peace process, but the president insisted on Powell resignation.

Rice, Condoleezza was named in Powell s place.

She had failed at every important task as national security adviser, pointedly neglecting terrorism before 11.Sep.2001 enthusiastically parroting the false claim that Saddam had a nuclear weapons programme,

while suppressing contrary intelligence, mismanaging her part of postwar policy so completely that she had to cede it to a deputy + eviscerating the Middle East road map.

As incompetent as she was at her actual job, she was agile at bureaucratic positioning.

Early on, she figured out how to align with the neo-conservatives + to damage Powell.

Her usurpation is a lesson to Powell in blind ambition + loyalty.

Powell's sacking + Rice's promotion are more than examples of behaviour punished + rewarded.

Powell fall + her rise signal the purge of the CIA + the state department, a neocon night of the long knives.

Bush [BGW968]'s attitude is that of the intimidating loyalty enforcer that he was in his father's political campaigns.

The CIA has not been forgiven for failing to support Cheney's phantasmagorical case linking Saddam to al-Qaida.

00.Sep.2004 -And the release in- of the outline of the most recent National Intelligence Estimate, laying out dark scenarios for Iraq, was considered an act of insubordination intended to help oust Bush [BGW968] in the election.

The new CIA director, Goss, Porter has issued a party line diktat that the CIA's mission is to "support the administration + its policies".
