Fallacies and War: Misleading a Nervous America to the Wrong Conclusion

Dave Koehler rips apart the administration's arguments for war. Required Reading for all American citizens. WE ARE BEING LIED TO.

Watchmen, written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons

This is the most important comic series ever, not only an innovative look at the superhero genre but also a dystopian vision of a political machine bent on everlasting war--an important message for our times. Read this book--it may change your opinion of comic books.

1984, Starring William Hurt and Richard Burton (1984)

This is one of the best film adaptations of any novel, accurately portraying the paranoia and horror of an Oceania ruled by Big Brother's iron fist--a vision being played out on our streets of America. The primary difference being, that Americans are mobilizing against the Bush regime--the proles are on the march. See this movie, not only because it is great, but because it can happen to us--it is already happening to us.

George Orwells's 1984

Since its publication, 1984 has been a world classic, considered by many an all-too-probable picture of the world of the future. Now, with Bush's government restricting civil liberties and waging an endless war on terrorism, as well as on Iraq, Orwell's vision is fast becoming our reality. Every American citizen must read this book--in Bush's America, knowledge of terms like "doublethink" and "thoughtcrime" is essential in understanding our political situation. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

Carol Norris: The World is His Battlefield

A therapist weighs in on Bush's psyche and his quest to rid the world of "evildoers."

disinformation

One of those sites which I stumbled upon and which I know I'll visit regularly. General revolutionary needs.

Sea Lions Protect U.S. Navy

Apparently, sea lions have no humanitarian concerns about the U.S.'s war with Iraq. I wonder why....

ScienceDaily News Release: Pioneer 10 Spacecraft Sents Last Signal To Earth

Farewell to a groundbreaking scientific project, as well as a superb photographer. Pioneer 10 provided us with our first quality images of Jupiter's surface, along with many other important discoveries. Though Pioneer will probably never be heard from again, with luck, it will reach Aldebaran in two million years. It will be remembered with fondness.

Call to Conscience Website

More voices of reason, this time American veterans of the armed forces. Can the bandwagon get any more loaded with reasonable people who will be ignored by the government?

TrueMajority

Here's where you can send your free fax as part of the Virtual March on Washington tomorrow. It's also a great activism site started by Ben Cohen of Ben&Jerry's. Please sign up to send a free fax to your Senators tomorrow, telling them to let the inspections work.

The first truly significant node I've seen on e2, this is a sobering read.

WorkingForChange-The bottom line on Iraq: It's the bottom line

The beautiful Arianna Huffington puts it all on the line. Don't we have enough leads to begin some sort of investigation on this White House? Not when they have more money than God for hush money.

'The Peace Race' / Martin Luther King on the Middle East / What would Martin do?

The voices against war continue to pour in. Mandela, Carter, King: will the "president" heed their words? I guess if 6-10 million voices don't matter, three or four great statesmen don't either.
