Impeachment Begins July 25th
by davidswanson
At 10 a.m. on Friday July 25th, the House Judiciary Committee will hold a preliminary hearing on the topic of impeachment, with a presentation by Congressman Dennis Kucinich. This is not yet a true impeachment hearing, but it is our opportunity to push for one, and it represents a tremendous victory after years of effort by millions of Americans who want to keep the Constitution alive. This never would have happened without your hard work. And we can't let up now!

Articles of Impeachment to be read in the House today! 5 pm
This afternoon, at approximately 5 p.m. (EDT), the Clerk of the House
of Representatives will give the first reading of the Article of
Impeachment of President George Bush. Article One charges the President
with deceiving Congress with fabricated threats of Iraq WMDs to
fraudulently obtain support for an authorization of the use of military
force against Iraq.
Israeli Planes Landing In Iraq
Israeli warplanes have been flying over Iraq and landing at US bases there in preparation for an attack on Iran, Israeli media reported yesterday.
Israeli defense ministry sources said that, for a month, the fighter jets have been practicing at night in Iraqi airspace.
Retired Iraqi army officers in the Anbar region reported that the jets were seen flying from Jordan and landing at an airport near Haditha.
Last month, US sources disclosed that more than 100 Israeli jets and other aircraft took part in practice runs to the eastern Mediterranean Sea that demonstrated Israel's ability to strike a target that far away, the same distance from Israel as Iran.

Kucinich Bringing Back Impeachment This Week
Kucinich Bringing Back Impeachment This Week
Keeping true to his word, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) informed his colleagues today that he would bring one article of impeachment against President Bush "for taking our nation and our troops to war based on lies" to the House floor Thursday.
In early June, Kucinich introduced 35 articles of impeachment against Bush and demanded that they be read into the record in full, taking up two nights of House floor time to do so. After the House voted to refer the articles to the Judiciary Committee, Kucinich vowed that he would come back in 30 days with 60 articles of impeachment if no hearings were held.
Act of War: House Resolution Calls for Naval Blockade against Iran
By Andrew W Cheetham - Global Research, June 18, 2008
A US House of Representatives Resolution effectively requiring a naval blockade on Iran seems fast tracked for passage, gaining co-sponsors at a remarkable speed, but experts say the measures called for in the resolutions amount to an act of war.
H.CON.RES 362 calls on the president to stop all shipments of refined petroleum products from reaching Iran. It also "demands" that the President impose "stringent inspection requirements on all persons, vehicles, ships, planes, trains and cargo entering or departing Iran."
Analysts say that this would require a US naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.

McCain Closely Connected with man responsible for high Gas Prices
In the early evening of Friday, December 15, 2000, with Christmas break
only hours away, the U.S. Senate rushed to pass an essential,
11,000-page government reauthorization bill. In what one legal textbook
would later call “a stunning departure from normal legislative
practice,” the Senate tacked on a complex, 262-page amendment at the
urging of Texas Sen. Phil Gramm.
There was little debate on the floor. According to the Congressional Record, Gramm promised that the amendment—also known as the Commodity Futures Modernization Act—along with other landmark legislation he had authored, would usher in a new era for the U.S. financial services industry....

Has Kucinich Exposed the Dems Complicity?
Dennis Kucinich just released 35 counts against George Bush, calling for Impeachment. He is being ignored by the media. We all need to condemn the corporate media for their continued betrayal of the public trust by its silence on this. This betrayal is even worse than the corporate media aiding the Bush Administration lies that got us into the illegal, immoral invasion and occupation of Iraq.
It is true that the brave Representative from Ohio has been marginalized and demonized by those in the corporate media. However, we must remember that that marginalization and demonization have not just been by the corporate media. There have been many willing partners in crime from within the political establishment. The corporate media blackout has had allies.
