[BRIGADE] Website Hacked Again....

Published: Fri, 03/26/10

Dear Brigade,
 
The site has been down since Wednesday morning. I'm guessing we angered a few folks with some of the topics posted on buchanan.org.  Although abortion, gay rights, religion, and other social issues are portrayed as very controversial  there are really just a few issues that must never be discussed. I think we passed their limit, Again we are looking forward to days of work to get the site back online and restore the email accounts.
 
See below some of the items we included on the website this past week and ask yourself why some organizations don't want you to know about them.  After all, if they are not true there's nothing to worry about right?

PPS -- Here are two of my favorite quotes on Truth:
 
John F. Kennedy: We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.
 
Thomas Paine: It is error only, and not truth, that shrinks from inquiry.

Here are some of the topics we covered this past week on Buchanan.org:
 
Stop Funding the Israelis
by Justin Raimondo - AntiWar.com It's the only way to rein them in. If Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to the AIPAC conference isn't a reason for the US to declare - finally - that they've had quite enough of the "special relationship," then nothing is. After ambushing the Vice President of the United States with an announcement that new "settlements" are in the works, the Prime Minister then took his anti-American jihad to the enemy's very gates, in Washington, D.C., where he invoked what Cato policy analyst Justin Logan trenchantly described as "the fallacy of '39":[...]
 
Good Bye: Truth Has Fallen and Taken Liberty With It
by Paul Craig Roberts - CounterPunch.org

Rent-A-Rambos
by Eric Margolis -- LewRockwell.com
A fascinating scandal has erupted in Washington that is exposing the sordid underbelly of the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan.

Taser Nation
by Eric Peters -- VDare.com
When I was a young editorial writer at The Washington Times back in the early 1990s, I had the good luck to work in the same office as Sam Francis. Sam had a talent for making devastating observations in pithy, everyman language that contrasted with the egghead-speak of so many [...]

The Off-Shored Economy
By Paul Craig Roberts - CounterPunch
In the 20th century, Detroit, Michigan, symbolized American industrial might. Today it symbolizes the offshored economy. Detroit's population has declined by half. A quarter of the city-35 square miles-is desolate with only a few houses still standing on largely abandoned streets. If the local government can get the money from Washington, [...]
 
Humiliating America
by Eric Margolis - EricMargolis.com
Israel's hard right knows that the one sure way of thwarting any possible peace with the Palestinians is to keep annexing East Jerusalem and squeezing out its Arab population. Some of these activities are even financed by American tax-free charities. After the astounding humiliation of Vice President [...]
