Why can't these Italians let the idea that only through insecurity and no protection of liberty can they ever hope to lose their insecurity and be free? You know, like the U.S.S.A. Only by each of us -all of us- being suspects can we truly be free! Insecurity and no civil rights is the new conservatism in the United States. Fiscal responsibility? Rationality? Fuck that stuff!

Just south of Chula Vista, CA and Brownsville, TX, lies a nation of 110 million people called Mexico. The citizens were victims of the New World Order tactic of stealing a presidential election right out from under the overwhelming majority of pro-labor, pro-López Obrador voters.
It's no coincidence that Bush and Calderon have "met many times" according to the rightwing candidate and there rumors being reported in the Maxican media of an increased CIA presence in Mexico in the weeks leading up to the election.
The Bush dynasty, Vicente Foxes, Calderons and Silvio Berlusconis are all cut from the same cloth.

I have a feeling the story is far from over.
Posted by egregious at July 9, 2006 11:41 AMDuring the raids conducted by Italy's special police (the Digos), they discovered a secret apartment at Via Nazionale, 230, in Rome, which was part of a massive dirty tricks operation by SISMI which involved, among other things, the creation of "dossiers" on "enemies" who were illegally spied upon (unfriendly journalists, magistrates, politicians and businesspeople), and the fabrication of bogus documents.Would I be heading into Tin Foil Hat territory to wonder if those bogus documents might not include certain forgeries about Niger, Iraq and uranium?

Wasn't there some Italian involvement in the Niger yellocake forgeries too?
