QUOTE OF THE DAY
"I see in the near future a crisis approaching. It unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. The money powers preys upon the nation in times of peace and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes... Corporations have been enthroned, and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few, and the Republic is destroyed."
- - Abraham Lincoln (In a letter to William Elkins, Nov 21, 1864)
Just after the passage of the debt causing National Bank Act [June 3, 1864], right before his assassination.

For the first time in its 80 year history, the New Yorker has endorsed a political candidate. The editors' statement is complete, cogent, brave and powerful. You'll be hard pressed to find anything better-written regarding the real nature of the choice in this election. Pass the word.
COMMENT - THE CHOICE
The New Yorker, Issue of 2004-11-01, Posted 2004-10-25
This Presidential campaign has been as ugly and as bitter as any in American memory. The ugliness has flowed mostly in one direction, reaching its apotheosis in the effort, undertaken by a supposedly independent group financed by friends of the incumbent, to portray the challenger-who in his mid-twenties was an exemplary combatant in both the Vietnam War and the movement to end that war-as a coward and a traitor. The bitterness has been felt mostly by the challenger's adherents; yet there has been more than enough to go around. This is one campaign in which no one thinks of having the band strike up "Happy Days Are Here Again."...

RHINO'S FEATURED REPUBLICAN
A Republican Declares His Independence
By Robert L. Black, The Cincinnati Enquirer, October 13, 2004
When in the course of a lifetime, it becomes necessary for a born Republican to refuse to support the re-election of the party's incumbent president, to exercise his discretion, and in all good conscience, to vote for an opponent (even a Democrat), a decent respect to the opinions of his fellows requires that he declare the causes that impel him to switch. I am grateful to the Republican Party for the support it gave me on each of three elections as judge. I respect many of the party leaders in Ohio. Nevertheless, my loyalty to the party must give way to my love of this country. I consider it a patriotic duty to speak up when the future of our democracy is at stake...

What a Bottom Line today my friends!! Published originally in Spain's "El Mundo," it was written by Gordon Thomas, a journalist with contacts in many of the world's intelligence services. Here he reveals what dubya & company are trying to pull off for their October Surprise. He writes that Osama bin Laden is in China, near the border with Pakistan, and that the U.S. & Chinese governments are negotiating for a capture & extradition to the U.S.A., soon. Remember when Reagan's gang negotiated for the US hostages in Iran to not be released until the day Ronnie took office? Very scary. Could a November 1st OBL perp walk cause the US electorate to forget this president's lies & the resulting shock & awe, death & destruction?

Bin
Laden is in China
by Gordon Thomas, El Mundo, 10/10/04
During the home stretch of the Northamerican elections, Osama bin Laden could
prove to be the ace in the sleeve of president Bush. As we speak, Washington
is negotiating a highly secretive agreement with Beijing, the Chinese capital,
for the eviction of bin Laden from his sanctuary in the turbulent Muslim provinces
of China, in the Northwest of the Great Wall nation. More than five million
people, many of them fanatic followers of Osama, live in that region, which can
be called one of the most volatile regions of Earth. Thousands of them work for
the mafias who specialize in the trafficking of humans and drugs to the West.
Last summer, Bin Laden sealed an agreement with the authorities in Beijing, in
which he was granted asylum in return for his guarantees that the guerilla war
of the Muslim Chinese against the Chinese nation would end.
Over the years, tens of thousands of troops of the Popular Liberation Armee had
been sent to the region with the intent to squash the insurgents. Since the arrival
of the Saudi Osama Bin Laden, the region has been relatively quiet, and the Muslims
who live there are allowed to continue their trafficking of humans and drugs.
However, Bin Laden could now see himself trapped in his refuge, if an extraordinary
agreement between Beijing and Washington would come to pass, in which China would
hand over to the United States the most wanted terrorist in the world.
The capture of Bin Laden would virtually guarantee the reelection of George Bush
Jr., as it would confirm to the millions of undecided voters of the U.S. that
the war against terrorism was justified after Bin Laden had authorized the attacks
of 9/11 against New York and Washington...
