I've struck against this very eloquent research report about the real opinions of the Europeans towards the European Union:
http://www.openeurope.org.uk/research/mainfindings.pdf

The main facts from the last year research made by the British think-tank OpenEurope, conducted in all member states of the European Union:

1. On the average 41% inhabitants of the Europe have thought, that the E.U. should have LESS powers than it already has, and another 23% of the cake think, that the E.U. powers should remain as they are - i.e. 64% of the E.U. member states citizens positively don't wish anything like the proposed Lisbon Treaty (-a new treaty almost completely based on the text of late "euroconstitution", refused in referendum in France and Netherlands - but of course: the pro-E.U. politicians fraudulently keep saying it is not true).
- And there are in this regard much more obstinate nations, than Irish (who recently refused the many powers transfering Lisbon Treaty in the referendum). The list is led by Finnish, Austrians, Swedish and British. Irish in fact are far beyond them - much less sceptic.

Iran-Contra's 'Lost Chapter'

By Robert Parry (A Special Report)
June 30, 2008

As historians ponder George W. Bush’s disastrous presidency, they may wonder how Republicans perfected a propaganda system that could fool tens of millions of Americans, intimidate Democrats, and transform the vaunted Washington press corps from watchdogs to lapdogs.

To understand this extraordinary development, historians might want to look back at the 1980s and examine the Iran-Contra scandal’s “lost chapter,” a narrative describing how Ronald Reagan’s administration brought CIA tactics to bear domestically to reshape the way Americans perceived the world.

That chapter – which we are publishing here for the first time – was “lost” because Republicans on the congressional Iran-Contra investigation waged a rear-guard fight that traded elimination of the chapter’s key findings for the votes of three moderate GOP senators, giving the final report a patina of bipartisanship.

Hi Fellow Patriots : ) -

Just a reminder that this Friday, July 4th, if you're at a New Jersey beach, bring a video recorder if you can, and look for a Plane Truth Project aerial banner that will be flying from Cape May up to Sandy Hook with a 9/11 Truth message targeted specifically towards military members, but, I think, good for all.

I'll be on a beach with my family (it's my mother's birthday), getting amateur footage, so I hope others out there who are experts at this will be able to get this on tape. I also hope it's a beautifully clear day . . .

If it's cloudy or rainy, the flight will be rescheduled for the first Saturday or Sunday that has nice weather (nice enough to bring people to the beach). I'm very fortunate to be working with an ethical company!

4th OF JULY TRUTH ACTION

Friday July 4, 2008
Charles River Esplanade, Boston
9 am to 5 pm

Truth activists will be gathering at Boston’s 4th of July Celebration on the Esplanade this year to distribute new Patriots Question 9/11 postcards along with We Are Change info handouts and maybe some DVDs. A core group of organizers will be setting up Camp on the lawn adjacent to the Stone Man Playground near the Harvard (Mass Ave) Bridge. (see map link below). From there, we’ll break off into groups and canvas the entire area, from and including the Longfellow Bridge to the Harvard Bridge. Even if you can come only for a couple of hours, there will be someone at the Camp at all times beginning at 9 am, who will be able to connect you with groups already out working the crowd.

The best access to the home Camp is via the pedestrian entrance to the esplanade at the Mass. Ave Bridge. From there it’s just a short 100 ft. walk to a fork in the sidewalk that surrounds a strip of lawn where we’re setting up camp. Look for the flag of New England we’ll be flying – a red flag with a green Pine tree.
