The opinion of the retired Chief Justice that the Florida Supremes could decide by Wednesday hides a trap if there is delay until Wednesday. It could take asleep Republicans beyond the time for protesting the rejected military ballots. Please do not lose the Constitution through negligence. For those who lurk and who are connected with the Bush campaign: We consider this present activity by the Clinton administration, including the Vice President to be a continuation of the assault upon the Constitution and the betrayal of the nation which we have long spoken about in our publications on the Internet and ...

Debate Fatigue What Will Determine the Vote? It Ain't Necessarily the Economy Edited by Robin Goldwyn Blumenthal When Vice President Al Gore and Texas Governor George W. Bush slug it out in the presidential debate again this week, there's something they should keep in mind: "It's the stock market, stupid." Before the first debate last Tuesday, Gibbons Burke, editor of markethistory.com, penned a piece on market performance during the pre-election debate season. Focusing on the modern presidential debate era, starting with the 1960 Kennedy-Nixon race, he found that in five of seven instances, both the Dow Jones Industrial Average adn ...

Carter's Marxist mouthpiece By William Bright Marine © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com Wednesday's showing of MSNBC's "Playback" with John Gibson featured a confrontation on the Panama Canal giveback which had Robert Pastor, Jimmy Carter's National Security advisor on Latin America on one side, and Mark Braden from the Republican National Committee on the other. No mention was made of Pastor's Marxist background and Soviet connections as revealed after the "fall of the wall," but it was more balanced than recent writing about the situation in one of the leading "mainstream" papers, the Washington Post. I am a dual citizen of Panama ...

[posted for research, education and discussion only] Unfortunately, the vision which had impelled the breaks from England, France and Spain and which, with us, led to the Constitution, became lost in a misnamed "New World Order" of Third World revolutionary rhetoric combined with cynical exploitation by the former European colonizers. This was not the New World of this hemisphere at all, but in Marxist guise, the continuation of the class conflicts and lack of opportunity of the Old World of Europe. It was filtered through revolutionary rhetoric of Marxist thought in which nation after nation was "liberated" but none ever ...

Betraying the dream: Let's face the truth about Panama as a 'sovereign nation' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Lt. Gen. Gordon Sumner Jr. © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com [This posting for discussion, education and research only.] Let's take a hard and honest look at some of our key mistakes in Panama. So far, such glimpses as we have been allowed have certainly failed to examine the case from the perspective of the entire century, as one in which America rose to world dominance, or from the perspective of the approaching century in which the questions of who and what form of government will dominate are ...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The new isolationism: Panama and the Canal -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Lt. Gen. Gordon Sumner Jr. © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com With the clock winding down to the legislated date before which the Panama Canal cannot be turned over to Panama, let us take a good, hard look at the situation there. For, up until now, we have heard little that is true about it. In the light of harsh reality, looking back over nearly a century, we can no longer duck the inescapable conclusion that we have managed to muck up what should have been a magnificent example to the ...

For over two years we have been providing information on, giving testimony on, appearing on radio and TV with regard to, and publishing, particularly on the internet, about the Panama Canal giveaway and the present strategic threat to our nation at that "Chokepoint for China" and its interaction with the entire Chinese communist strategic effort. Now we are going into an action phase and the interest and attention generated by these earlier actions will be essential, if they can be carried forward, to our success in stopping the turnover of the Canal and many of its related assets and forcing ...

Gore looking for new campaign chief Craig Smith will step down as the manager of Vice President Al Gore's struggling presidential campaign rather than move with the political operation next week from Washington to Nashville, Tennessee, sources said Friday. Smith advised staff of his decision Thursday, a day after Gore announced he was transferring his campaign's headquarters from the nation's capital to his native Tennessee, sources said. While there has been criticism of the campaign, Smith said he was leaving because he did not want to relocate his two daughters, both of whom are in grade school, sources said. ``He ...

PAPERTRAIL (regular Column) column title: Sweet-Macked This is a small story about why there are no big stories about presidential advisor Terry McAuliffe's real estate dealings. There are two such stories out there for the plucking. One of the potentially big stories is how McAuliffe, after more timid souls balked, gave a $1.35 million personal loan guarantee for Bill and Hillary Clinton's New York home. And the second real big story, the one that is before the U.S. District Court in Maryland, may have something to do with just why McAuliffe had that kind of coin to throw around ...

They found two rocks of crack cocaine in his mouth late one night this April. The suspect, according to court documents, admitted what he was up to right on the spot. "I was just trying to make $20 so I could buy my kid something," he told the officers who arrested him on New Jersey Avenue, NW. Yeah, sure. He was charged with a misdemeanor, one count of drug possession. An easy bust, right? Depends on what your definition of "drug" is. "On the merits, I thought initially the case looked tough," says the suspect's court-appointed defense attorney, Will O'Brien. ...

White House Red Herrings Original title: "Postmortem: Getting Ahead of the Lie Curve" Whenever the White House suddenly creates a lot of publicity through their subservient allies in the press, you know a new lie is afoot and that it is intended to distract from an old one which is either about to be exposed or has done its evil work and faded from public consciousness. So when David Kendall breathlessly got the New York Times to print a story about old non-news that Starr was considering indicting the President and in doing so used a justifying reference that a ...

coerced entry into home By Michael Farris Parents' authority and privacy regarding their children should not be undermined by the government. . . . . Jill Floyd, a social worker for the Yolo County (Calif.) Department of Social Services (DSS), had the "goods" on the Calabretta family. An anonymous tipster had heard a child's voice yelling "No, Daddy, no" late at night. Another time, the tipster had heard a child's voice yelling "No, no, no" from the back yard. Additionally, the tipster knew that the Calabrettas home-schooled their children and were very religious. . . . . Ms. Floyd went ...

India Heads to the Polls — and Another Stalemate As another fragile coalition looms, it's a good thing the players agree on policy Film star Chankey Pandey, left, campaigns for BJP candidate Vijay Goel Good thing there are no serious issues at stake in India’s election, because an election would be unlikely to settle them. The world’s largest democracy begins voting Sunday for the third time in as many years, in a month-long balloting process involving 600 million voters. But the poll looks unlikely to break the stalemate that began in the early '90s when support for all-India parties ...

District Judge OKs China Slave Labor Prosecutions By Lawrence Morahan CNS Staff Writer 02 August, 1999 (CNS) - In what is seen as a major victory for pro-democracy forces in China, a U.S. district judge has given the go-ahead for discovery in a lawsuit that alleges U.S. companies are profiting from slave-made goods from China. The July 9 ruling by District Judge Thomas F. Hogan to proceed to with discovery against the Bank of China and the Adidas Corporation opens the door for the subpoena of high-ranking Communist Party officials in China, and the prosecution of top sporting goods executives ...
