http://tinyurl.com/88yax L.S.! An American friend send me this story by Gore Vidal: it really is a very good description of the present state of the US Empire, and worth every minute of your time.

It's three separate pages online. http://www.truthdig.com/dig/item/20060124_president_jonah Jim QUOTE FOR STARTERS: President JonahA Dig led by Gore Vidal While contemplating the ill-starred presidency of G.W. Bush, I looked about for some sort of divine analogy. As usual, when in need of enlightenment, I fell upon the Holy Bible, authorized King James version of 1611; turning by chance to the Book of Jonah, I read that Jonah, who, like Bush, chats with God, had suffered a falling out with the Almighty and thus became a jinx dogged by luck so bad that a cruise liner, thanks to his presence aboard, was about to sink in a storm at sea. Once the crew had determined that Jonah, a passenger, was the jinx, they threw him overboard andLo!the storm abated. The three days and nights he subsequently spent in the belly of a nauseous whale must have seemed like a serious jinx to the digestion-challenged whale who extruded him much as the decent opinion of mankind has done to Bush. - [end quote] - Do yourself a favor and read the rest at Url.: http://tinyurl.com/9wkux Fwd. by: FOREIGN PRESS FOUNDATION http://forpressfound.blogspot.com/ Editor: Henk Ruyssenaars http://tinyurl.com/amn3q The Netherlands [EMAIL PROTECTED] * "Sarah, if the American people had ever known the truth about what we Bushes have done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched." - George Bush Senior speaking in an interview with Sarah McClendon in December 1992. - 'The Demonic Cabal - (excellent article!) - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/bvtvd * GORE VIDAL - (perfect story at Url.: http://tinyurl.com/88yax) - ''One way that a majority of citizens can help open the road back to Crawford is by heeding the call of a group called 'The World Can¹t Wait' - They believe that the agenda for 2006 must not be set by the Bush gang but by the people taking independent mass political action. - see their website, worldcantwait.org - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/aota2 ON JAN. 31, THE NIGHT OF BUSH¹S NEXT STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS, they have called for people in large cities and small towns all across the country to join in noisy rallies to make the demand that ³Bush Step Down² the message of the day.

FPF-fwd.: Handbook for bloggers and cyber-dissidents Blogs get people excited. Or else they disturb and worry them. Some people distrust them. Others see them as the vanguard of a new information revolution. Because they allow and encourage ordinary people to speak up, they¹re tremendous tools of freedom of _expression_. Bloggers are often the only real journalists in countries where the mainstream media is censored or under pressure. Only they provide independent news, at the risk of displeasing the government and sometimes courting arrest. Reporters Without Borders has produced this handbook to help them, with handy tips and technical advice on how to to remain anonymous and to get round censorship, by choosing the most suitable method for each situation. It also explains how to set up and make the most of a blog, to publicise it (getting it picked up efficiently by search-engines) and to establish its credibility through observing basic ethical and journalistic principles.
