Here's a comic you can download, by Greg Palast and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., called STEAL BACK YOUR VOTE. Palast has been at the forefront of the fight against voter suppression, ever since breaking the story of Florida and the 2000 voter supression, and again in 2004 with the scrub lists. The book has art by Ted Rall, Lloyd Dangle, and Lukas Ketner.

From the site: "StealBackYourVote.org is a project of the Palast Investigative Fund (a 501c3 non-partisan non-profit educational foundation), Greg Palast and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. With the generous support of voting rights and other organizations and concerned individuals, we are aggressively investigating the hanky-panky Republicans have already road-tested in the primaries, and are prepared to use this November to steal YOUR vote. The good news is, you CAN steal back your vote. Kennedy and Palast are publishing a major expose in a mass-circulation national magazine. The Palast Investigative Team is heading to the Democratic convention to finish a documentary film. And three major cartoonists have teamed up to illustrate the "Steal Back Your Vote" graphic guide that you can download, print and distribute now."

About Greg Palast: "The most important investigative reporter of our time" [Tribune Magazine] "The top investigative journalist in the United States is persona non grata in his own country's media." [Asia Times.] "Doggedly independent, undaunted by power. His stories bite, they're so relevant they threaten to alter history" -Chicago Tribune Twisted and maniacal" -Katherine Harris "We hate that sonuvabitch." -The White House

Lustiger Text beim Spiegel: "Der Auftakt der Anti-Islamisierungskonferenz in Köln ist gefloppt - zumindest aus Sicht der Organisatoren: Mit einem spektakulären Spitzentreffen wollte die europäische Rechte Stimmung machen. Übrig blieb eine chaotische Lachnummer.

Irgendwann fingen sie an, Karten zu spielen. Da saß die Führungsebene der europäischen Rechten bereits seit Stunden auf dem Rhein in Köln fest, an Deck des Ausflugsdampfers "Moby Dick". Ziellos, mit einer eingeschlagenen Scheibe, trieben sie auf dem Fluss. An Land warteten die Gegendemonstranten auf die Rechten, an Bord hatte die Polizei das Kommando übernommen. Dann spielten die Funktionäre der belgischen Rechtspopulisten von "Vlaams Belang" eben Karten." ...weiter

The Onion is taking the piss!Very funny!

Very interesting article in the Washington Post: "As the presidential campaign heats up, intense efforts are underway to debunk rumors and misinformation. Nearly all these efforts rest on the assumption that good information is the antidote to misinformation.

But a series of new experiments show that misinformation can exercise a ghostly influence on people's minds after it has been debunked -- even among people who recognize it as misinformation. In some cases, correcting misinformation serves to increase the power of bad information.

In experiments conducted by political scientist John Bullock at Yale University, volunteers were given various items of political misinformation from real life. One group of volunteers was shown a transcript of an ad created by NARAL Pro-Choice America that accused John G. Roberts Jr., President Bush's nominee to the Supreme Court at the time, of "supporting violent fringe groups and a convicted clinic bomber."

A variety of psychological experiments have shown that political misinformation primarily works by feeding into people's preexisting views. People who did not like Roberts to begin with, then, ought to have been most receptive to the damaging allegation, and this is exactly what Bullock found. Democrats were far more likely than Republicans to disapprove of Roberts after hearing the allegation."

Gulfnews.com: "In his new book The Way of the World, Pulitzer-Prize reporter Ron Suskind makes two accusations against the Bush administration. First, that the Bush administration received credible information from the British intelligence (who were informed by Iraq's intelligence chief Tahir Habbush) that Saddam Hussain had no weapons of mass destruction. Bush, and especially Dick Cheney and his neo-conservative entourage dismissed the information because they were intent on waging war.

Suskind reports that after the invasion of Iraq and the confirmation that Habbush was telling the truth, the Americans made a secret arrangement with him, hid him in Jordan and paid him $5 million.

Second, when it became clear after the invasion that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, the Bush administration, under pressure to justify the war decision, ordered the CIA to fabricate evidence in the form of a letter purportedly written by Habbush, and backdated to 2001.

The letter is addressed to Saddam Hussain and in which Habbush purportedly writes that Mohammad Atta, the alleged mastermind of the September 11 attacks, had visited Iraq and "displayed extraordinary effort" and that he would be "responsible for attacking the targets we have agreed to destroy".

The forged letter could thus be used as 'evidence' of the link between Saddam Hussain and the September 11 attacks, a link which Bush and Cheney deceivingly claimed justified the war."

Nein, ich will nicht live mitjubeln, wenn Herr Obama fordert, man möge in Europa bitte mehr Leute für den Krieg gegen den Terror abstellen. Ich will auch nicht den Twitter-Feed von Sascha Lobo und anderen Leuten lesen, die da irgendwie in der Menge "dabei" sind, wenn die Deutschen wieder was zu jubeln haben. Ich werde mir aber ganz bestimmt um 18 Uhr 30 auf meinem Wahlsender RBB das Interview mit Kim D.H. und später die qualifizierten Beiträge der "Abendschau" ansehen, wo es sicher heißen wird: "Ulli Zelle sie sind für uns live vor Ort, Ulli, wie ist die Stimmung?"

Breaking News: more cases of torture revealed!

New York Times: "Atrocities were committed in the interrogation centers in American military prisons in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. And they were not revealed by Red Cross officials, human rights activists, Democrats in Congress or others the administration writes off as soft-on-terror.

They were described in a painful report by the Justice Department’s inspector general, based on the accounts of hundreds of F.B.I. agents who saw American interrogators repeatedly mistreat prisoners in ways that the agents considered violations of American law and the Geneva Conventions.

Wikipedia: "An agent provocateur is often a police officer who encourages suspects to carry out a crime under conditions where evidence can be obtained; or who suggests the commission of a crime to another, in hopes he will go along with the suggestion, so he may be convicted of the crime. These are sometimes called sting operations."
