Bush To Sign America’s Anti-Nightlife R.A.V.E. Act
America’s nightlife industry faces an uncertain future
this weekend, after Congress voted to approve the
puritanical RAVE act, meaning crack house laws will
now be applied to all concerts, clubs and music
festivals in the US.
“Property owners can be punished for any drug offence
that their customers commit - even if they work hard to
stop such offences,” warned the Drug Policy Alliance
just hours before the Bill was passed.
“This is likely to deter nightclub and stadium owners
from holding events.”
“Every musical style will be affected, including rock and
roll, Hip Hop, country and electronic music,” they
added.
The bill was passed after Senator Joe Biden sneaked it
into an unrelated Child Abduction Prevention Act,
which allowed the RAVE act to become law without any
hearings, debates or even specific votes being taken by
Congress. Its incredibly draconian terms mean that if
just one person is caught smoking a joint at a public
gathering such as a club, party or concert, the
organisers and property owners can be jailed for 20
years.

I was listenig to a comedian asking "who runs the world?", The Americans ask anyone to do something and they say "no" well its big action. They ask the Israelis and they say "no" and well its "OK" or in ^^^ case it's "let us waste our boys for you invading a country you don't like"
I wouldn't mind but for all of those holocaust museums

Oh great! I bet these weapons are now going to do a full circuit of the Arab/Muslim countries in the Middle-East. With the US and the UK in persuit leaving a trail of destroyed governments and religions.

What is especially amusing is that a refusal to confess and give back the imaginary wmd will be due cause for invasion..
The recently surrendered Iraqi Scientific advisor said that Iraq had no more wmd's..
Luckily the CIA said "He will probably change his tune once he realises he is 'free'"
Hahahahaha.. yah.. I bet he will...

Haha! Ahem! Sorry. Don't mean to offend you, but go and read! Have you ever read the Bible? Do you not follow the news? Maybe if you did, you would realise that this is not an attack on anyone who is Jewish simply because they are Jewish, rather an attack on the massive Right-wing Jewish institutions, both Zionist (mainly Israel) and Evangelical (mainly US), who are currently responsible for a hell of a lot of attrocities, such as the severely sick treatment of the Palestinians, who's homeland they are invading, the equally severe treatment of may Arabs who are trying to help the Palestinians, and the use of their power within the US government to influence military actions throughout the middle-east.
Without doing a complete trawl of the net, here are a few links to get you up to date:

In fact, just type the following (including quotes) into Google:

And please start reading the broadsheets.
