WE BEEN NORC'D!

On 15 February, for BBC TV, I reported that inside information from the Consortium of newspapers conducting a thorough review of Florida’s 180,000 uncounted ballots showed Gore picking up about 20,000 votes.

The stomach-churning commercialization of mass murder didn’t bottom out there.

Bush extraordinary ‘fast-track’ trade treaty negotiating authority. Ambassador bin Zoellick, speaking from what looked like a cave on Capitol Hill, surrounded by unidentified Republicans, said Americans had to choose: stand up for free trade or for terrorism.

Globalisten Som Kom in Från Kylan

Joseph Stiglitz: Ã…rets ekonomipristagare
 
“Den har dömt människor till döden”, berättade världsbankens förre apparatchik för mig. Det var som en scen frÃ¥n Le Carre. Den mästerlige gamle agenten kommer in frÃ¥n kylan, hoppar över till vÃ¥r sida, och under nÃ¥gra timmars debriefing berättar han om sina minnen av illdÃ¥d begÃ¥gna för en politisk ideologi han nu inser blivit rutten.
