Deciphering The Economist |
As a fellow democracy activist, I recommend reading The Economist at least on occasion as it is undoubtedly the #1 mouthpiece for articulating the views of the global capitalism establishment in the world today. Once you have learned to decipher their slanted language and code-words, the specific agenda of the banking elite on various issues becomes highly transparent. Note: A prominent Rothschild was at one time fairly recently the top editor at The Economist.

Urge Senators to challenge the electoral vote |
As evidence of substantial electoral fraud continues to mount--and not only in Ohio--"Election 2004" is NOT over...but NOW is your last chance to urge Senators to join members of the House of Representatives in challenging the electoral vote. Time you spend phoning or faxing *TODAY* (or by Thursday morning) can make a big difference; the more Senators we reach, the better.

Asbestos, a 'weapon of mass destruction' |
Asbestos is 'weapon of mass destruction'; it is unbecoming of a nation of US stature to be proved wrong again and again. Dr. Irving Selikoff indisputably established it as a carinogen paving the way for its ban. By limiting the asbestos lawsuits President George Bush has once again compromised country's reputation. This tantamounts to nothing short of the murder of Truth.

Inaugural Protest: Fly the Flag Upside Down! |
Not everyone can make the drive to Washington DC to protest the Inauguration in person. Even if they could, this administration has made it clear that they will do everything within their power to keep protesters away from major events.
So we at 2RA.ORG are asking each individual across this nation, to take a very simple step on the 20th. We ask that you display an American flag upside down as a sign of distress.

"Army of One" at Pioneer Theater, NYC |
Sarah Goodman’s film follows three idealistic young Americans from their decision to enlist in the army in the wake of 9/11 through their struggle to survive boot camp all in hopes of discovering themselves. They abandon the relative safety of their own families for a much larger one that extols “one set of values,” the mantra “we are beasts,” and relentlessly drills in such useful facts as the best way of garroting a fellow human being is to “jab between the second and third rib.” Goodman’s approach is to stand back and let the recruits tell their own stories. What could have turned out to be a propaganda piece (either adulating the military or slamming it) soon places the army into the background and brings the evil twins of slick marketing and rudderless youth under the microscope.
