Starting next month, thousands of government employees will only work 4 days per week, in an effort aimed at reducing energy costs and commuters’ gasoline expenses.

"One of the jokes is that one of the biggest benefits will be for golf courses," said Ryan Walker, 49, an information technology director. He said he is looking forward to tackling items on his long-neglected…

When President Bush announced his economic stimulus in January, he bragged that his package was the right size? and would boost? the economy. It sure has led to higher consumer spending,? but not where Bush had probably hoped. The adult pornography industry reports that has seen a huge uptick in business thanks to Bushs package.

If the religion you are referring to is Islam, which is actually a Western religion, then you couldn’t be more wrong. Islam gave rights to women back in the 7th century that they did not have even in “civilized”…

The following statement is written by Congressman Paul about the pending financial disaster. He will introduce this statement as a special order and insert it into the Congressional Record next week….

An excellent statement from Ron Paul!!! as usual. Just 4 or 5 hours ago, I was talking to my 29 year old daughter, and I advised her to take her money out of her savings accounts, etc… and to buy gold or silver. She asked why. (Of…

Hitchens, his head hooded, was subjected to this most terrifying of ordeals by veterans of the US Special Forces. Did the experience feel like torture? The “official lie” about waterboarding, Hitchens says, is that it “simulates the feeling of drowning”. In fact, “you are drowning - or rather, being drowned. Believe me, it's torture.”

So what did it feel like? Hitchens recounts how he was lashed tightly to a sloping board, then, “on top of the hood, three layers of enveloping towel were added. In this pregnant darkness, head downward, I waited until I abruptly felt a slow…

An Australian family has been scammed for more than $1.3 million in an elaborate variation of a scam that persuades people to part with large sums of money so they can retrieve an overseas inheritance, police say. The fraud has become known as the Nigerian 419 scam.

During the scam, which lost the Baker family between $1.3 million and $1.5 million since early 2005, Mr Baker travelled to Europe three times, where he was shown an elaborate ruse of fake government officialdom in Spain, Italy and Holland and was…

The United States is an illegal occupying force that should hand the 132 islands of Hawaii back to the monarchy overthrown more than a century ago, according to members of a Native Hawaiian sovereignty movement.

“There was never a lawful transfer of either jurisdiction or title, therefore what we are doing is asserting that the Hawaiian Kingdom still exists.” Mr Siu said he was engaged in discussions with several countries as well as the United…

American authorities will be able to obtain greater access to private information such as credit card transactions, internet browsing habits and travel histories of people in Britain under a deal being finalised by European Union officials.

The US are infamous for illegally using their intelligence services against legitimate competition; i.e EU defence companies,telecoms, aviation,biotech - and most recently internet betting companies. I guarantee they'll use these powers in…

Most Americans, as ignorant of our heritage of principled insurrection as they are well-versed in the ephemera of pop culture, would find such sentiments abhorrent. In that fact we see that - whatever may be the status of our current “right” to keep and bear arms - the intellectual and psychological disarmament of our population is nearly complete

zach,i think you missed what Will was saying (and i hear this mistake so often) when you said:”That means anything the common foot soldier carries: handguns, rpg's, automatic carbines, shotguns, and long range rifles. PERIOD….

A baby boy had both legs broken by supporters of President Robert Mugabe to punish his father for being an opposition councillor in Zimbabwe.
Blessing Mabhena, aged 11 months, was seized from a bed and flung down with force as his mother, Agnes, hid from the thugs, convinced that they were about to murder her.

Compared to the Zanu-PF leaders Mugabe is Gandhi. If this story can be believed they are effectively embarking on a "political" cleansing reminiscent of the ethnic cleansing of Rwanda/Former Yugo & on par with the…

Peter Schiff, economic adviser to the Ron Paul for presidential campaign, was on Fox Business News on June 26th, the day the Dow dropped 358. Stuart Varney did him and all viewers a terrible disservice, repeatedly demanding that Peter Schiff make predictions about inherently unknowable things. How low will the Dow going to go?

We desperately need monetary reform in this country. The Federal Reserve system is corrupt and is bankrupting our country. I just read a book called “Web of Debt” by Ellen Hodgeson Brown. She correctly condemns the bankers…

The whistleblower at the heart of a lawsuit against AT&T for illegal eavesdropping says Congress is set to stage a ‘coup against the Constitution’ as it nears passage of a new spying bill. Former AT&T technician Mark Klein provided internal company documents that he claims show that AT&T spied on the internet inside the United States.

Absolutely no offense intended, @John Yoo, but when I buy my ticket and decide to stand on some street in DC, what do I do then? (… and which street?) We need to be organized about “this” but what is “this”? I'm…

Aghast at having their Israel-first agenda exposed in the pages of TIME, Weiner and Boot lashed out in a fiery tirade of ad hominems, childish strawman arguments, gross distortions, and demands that Joe Klein’s freedom of the press be suppressed. How dare a patriot like Klein insinuate that true-blue Zionists harbored judeocentric motivations!

“Then, what can one say about Jennifer Rubin, who accuses me of antisemitism? I must say that's rather thrilling coming from the Commentary crowd. You want evidence of divided loyalties? How about the “benign domino theory” that…

There is a development unfolding that could very well become a “show stopper” for the GOP expecting the nomination of John McCain to proceed smoothly at the national convention. In 5 days, the GOP candidates, the president, and congress will receive Petitions for Redress demanding accountability for not upholding the constitution.

Won't you please consider committing to a $7/ month WTP Congress Membership so we can win the battle to restore Constitutional Order?

Ron Paul tells it like it is…. as usual.

In addition to gutting the fourth amendment, this measure will deprive Americans who have had their rights violated by telecommunication companies involved in the Administration’s illegal wiretapping program the right to seek redress in…

Theres no doubt that Americans are currently frustrated by high gas prices. And certainly many voters believe that something oughta be done about it.? But why? Heres a simple taxonomy of concerns.

I agree that there are more aspects to our lives than just gas prices. But you also have to look at it from the average persons perspective. an average american family of 4 makes around $40,000 a year. gas prices have risen about $2 per gallon in…

The battle to protect Americans from warrantless wiretaps and hold telecommunications companies accountable is all but lost, Sen. Russ Feingold said Monday.
The farce? of a surveillance law deal heralded by House Democratic leaders last week could permanently hide evidence of an impeachable offense? in Bush’s warrantless wiretapping, he said.

We are writing with great concern regarding reports the Democratic leadership has struck a deal which will further erode civil liberties by circumventing the original FISA laws, and we ask that you not only oppose this new FISA bill but that you…

As Republicans continue to scream hysterically that Barack Obama’s new seal violates federal law by copying the likeness of the presidential seal, Political Base has just discovered that John McCain’s own caucus — National Republican Senatorial Committee — uses three different likenesses itself…for fundraising…right on its website.

18 USC Sec. 713 … (a) Whoever knowingly displays any printed or other likeness of the great seal of the United States, or of the seals of the President or the Vice President of the United States, or the seal of the United States Senate,…

An exploration of the War Game which the United States failed in a few months before going into Iraq as well as the effects of and solutions to the United States’ ineptitude when it comes to 4th Generation Warfare.

As long as we continue to ignore our mistakes, we will continue to lose the struggle against terror. I think some people in the higher positions of government are beginning to understand that. Hopefully, with a new regime coming into power soon,…

How does the government know that you’re guilty? Is it possible that the government has made a mistake and that you’re innocent? This is usually determined only after the government presents its evidence and then charges someone with a crime.

How does Mr. Yoo know that the prisoners at Guantanamo are al-Qaeda terrorists? He doesn't. Instead, he seems to have total faith in the U.S. government's ability to capture the guilty and release the innocent. Interestingly, as I…

By Dave Lindorff
President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and the rest of the warmongers and terror-pimps in the White House would have us believe that Omar Khadr is a monster. Khadr is the 21-year-old Canadian who is facing one of the first show-trials at Guantanamo.
But let’s just step back a minute and consider Mr. Khadr.

As far as I can tell, if he did toss that grenade (and there is testimony from American witnesses that the thrower may have been another man, who was killed in the resulting US barrage of fire), Khadr was simply demonstrating extraordinary…
