His eye witness account, ignored by the media and the government, points the finger squarely on an official cover-up at the highest levels since the government contends the WTC fell only from burning jet fuel. And after listening to Rodriguez, it’s easy to see why the Bush administration wants him kept quiet.
Bush wants him quiet because Rodriguez’s account is ‘proof positive’ the WTC was brought down by a controlled demolition, not burning jet fuel. And Bush knows if he’s caught lying about this or caught in a cover-up, it’s just a matter of time before the whole house of cards comes tumbling down

Toads and frogs are dying out under pressure from the expansion of agriculture, forestry, pollution, disease and climate change, NatureServe said.
"Amphibians are disappearing before our eyes," the report said.
Scientists fear they could be indicator species -- a sign of possible future damage to other parts of the ecosystem because frogs and toads are especially vulnerable and thus are the first to disappear.
"Disappearing amphibians break links in the food chain, with often unpredictable effects on other organisms," the report said.

An Italian judge ordered the arrests of 13 people in the purported CIA abduction of an imam, who then was sent to Egypt, the Milan prosecutor's office said Friday. An Italian official said earlier the 13 were CIA officers involved in US anti-terrorism efforts.
The 13 are suspected of seizing Osama Moustafa Hassan Nasr, known as Abu Omar, on the streets of Milan on Feb. 17, 2003, and sending him to Egypt, where he reportedly was tortured, Milan prosecutor Manlio Claudio Minale said in a statement.
An Italian newspaper said all 13 were American agents.

The federal government plans to begin checking the name of everyone who applies for a U.S. passport against a list of suspected terrorists and their associates, according to the State Department.
The department's Office of Passport Services is "currently working on an agreement with the Terrorist Screening Center that would provide information on American citizens who are ... considered persons of concern due to a nexus to terrorism or an ongoing investigation," Deputy Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs Frank Moss told a hearing of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Economic Security, Infrastructure Protection and Cybersecurity.

One question Americans should be asking the Bush administration is why it wishes to do such an expensive favor for the Iraqi people.
I cannot think of any instance in which the federal government has been willing to spend $1 billion a week and 1,700 lives just to improve conditions in any one of the 50 states. Yet that is exactly what it is doing in Iraq, presumably for no other reason than to bring the blessings of liberty to a people we have bombed, starved, impoverished and vilified for 14 years

In this former imperial capital, every square seems to contain a giant statue of a Habsburg on horseback, posing as a conquering hero.
America's founders knew all too well how war appeals to the vanity of rulers and their thirst for glory. That's why they took care to deny presidents the kingly privilege of making war at their own discretion.
But after 9/11 President Bush, with obvious relish, declared himself a "war president." And he kept the nation focused on martial matters by morphing the pursuit of Al Qaeda into a war against Saddam Hussein.

A scandal-plagued former sheriff has been charged with leading a criminal enterprise while in office that included extortion, drug trafficking and witness tampering, federal prosecutors announced Thursday.
The indictment accuses former Cameron County Sheriff Conrado Cantu of receiving payments from drug traffickers in exchange for releasing sensitive law enforcement during his four years in office starting in 2001. He also is accused of using his official powers to protect and assist the drug traffickers.

People can (and will) argue as to whether she's taking advantage of a situation but the bottom line is this: it might seem to a DJ or reality show producer funny to set someone up like that to get a reaction out of them, but two things are clear: (1)the law doesn't allow misleading listeners, (2)it doesn't take a rocket scientist to forsee situations in which you are setting yourself up for either huge embarrassment or costly litigation. There ARE precedents:
A prank in Florida led to a similar lawsuit that was settled in 2002. A former waitress claimed Hooters promised to award her a new Toyota car — but instead gave her a toy Yoda.

NLM: I remember at one time, you'd mentioned that you wanted to inform the students at M.I.T. about Satanism in a wide-reaching way. You wrote something on the subject for the school paper, right? What other methods of dissemination have you used on campus?
PM: That's correct - in the May issue of Counterpoint, M.I.T.'s and Wellesley College's joint editorial publication of "rational discourse," I had an expositional piece published on the topic of Satanism. A few staff members felt uneasy publishing the piece, but were essentially silenced by those on the staff who were more interested in the article's salient points and interesting presentation than blindly upholding society's taboos. I wrote the piece for two reasons: to display Satanic thought for all to see (in an appropriate forum, of course), and also to raise flag for any covert or de facto Satanists. In dealing with addressing the general public, I find it is better to soften things a bit - I mentioned elitism and personal responsibility, but I did not emphasize them quite as much as the hedonistic aspects of the religion. I am aware that some Satanists would rather stay abrasive and even shocking in public, but I think that was counterproductive to my purpose - I would rather exorcise a bit of Lesser Black Magic and convince the average reader how Satanism "made sense." In that respect, I feel it was quite effective: I received perhaps a dozen E-mail queries asking for clarifications and discussions which I gladly answered. I of course brought the attention to myself, so I could certainly not call such behavior vampiric in nature, especially since most of the questions were courteous and polite. And concerning covert Satanists, one has already contacted me (who is another M.I.T. student), though I haven't had a chance to meet and verify the authenticity of the individual yet. But as always, there is always at least one witch hunter in the audience: a woman on campus read my article, picked it apart for "contradictions" and wrote a letter to the members of the Counterpoint staff pointing them out, and accusing me of deliberately trying to deceive people. The letter, which will appear in the June issue of the publication, also openly paints me as a Nazi. Is anyone surprised? I suppose the letter will do some good: it will give others the good laugh I got from it. Other than the article, I've posted a few announcements on various bulletin boards around campus advertising "a LaVeyan study group" featuring a Sigil of Baphomet at the top. No takers on that yet. I have also volunteered several times to sit on a few different panels, representing Satanism, at events designed to answer students' questions about various religions; I've been turned down every time since they were only interested in representing "more common, mainstream religions." Ironically, these panels usually feature Pagans, Humanists and members of the Ba'Hai faith, which aren't very common, either. Lastly, I have met with the man who served as Grotto Master in Boston for a term of one year, and if either he or I present any lectures on the topic of Satanism, we intend to cross-post each other's campuses. I will inevitably host such an event sometime next year.

I find Objectivism to be extremely similar to Satanism, perhaps more so than any other form of philosophic thought. I also think Ayn Rand is overlooked by many as a significant influence on LaVey. Essentially, Objectivism advocates selfishness, pride, love of life, rejection of mysticism, elitism, personal freedom, and many other things which have come to be associated with the Great Archetype, Satan. The Libertarian political party, which many Satanists identify with, actually arose from Objectivism as well. Ayn Rand also gives, in my opinion, better logical arguments for a Satanic Lifestyle than I've seen any Satanist give.
