A press release on the Texas Department of Public Safety website identifies the person in the video as the arsonist, yet no video has been released showing anyone starting a fire. The general public gets to see a video of a person walking down the sidewalk carrying an unidentified object and another video of a person running, and are told that this is the arsonist or arsonists. The building was under renovation at the time of the incident. Now an unconvincing video is released. Reminds me of the Pentagon on 9/11.
President Bush’s drug warriors must really, really want to protect their ability to throw non-violent marijuana users in jail.
The White House sent at least three party crashers to a press conference Wednesday with Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), who has introduced a pot-decriminalization bill.
The Office of National Drug Control Policy’s “chief scientist” and two aides who were dispatched to provide instant rebuttal to Frank and the bill’s cosponsors, all of whom acknowledged that marijuana was likely to remain very much illegal in the foreseeable future.
Given the bill’s essentially non-existent chances of passage, ONDCP’s Dr. David Murray’s impassioned arguments that seemed more appropriate in Reefer Madness were greeted with plenty of puzzled glances.
Why did the White House feel it necessary to send at least three staffers to Capitol Hill to place in every reporter’s hand a copy of its 20-page, color-copied “2008 Marijuana Sourcebook?” RAW STORY posed this question to Murray.
Two years ago Jane Mayer wrote a groundbreaking investigative piece titled "The Hidden Power" on vice-presidential legal counsel and chief-of-staff David Addington and internal battles over Guantanamo, tribunals, rendition, and torture. On July 15, she releases the culmination of years of investigative journalism to uncover the mechanics and consequences of the policy shifts and practices that composed what Vice President Dick Cheney referred to as "the dark side."

Japanese company Genepax presents its eco-friendly car that runs on nothing but water.
The car has an energy generator that extracts hydrogen from water that is poured into the car's tank. The generator then releases electrons that produce electric power to run the car. Genepax, the company that invented the technology, aims to collaborate with Japanese manufacturers to mass produce it.

Former Governor Jesse Ventura slammed the weak dollar policy as part of a war being waged on the middle class in America by the U.S. government as the greenback collapsed to an all time record low against the euro today.
“To me it’s clear there is a war on the middle class in America today being waged by our own government — they’re out to destroy what was the American dream and the American dream was the middle class…"
Ventura made the comments before his appearance on Larry King Live last night, during which he announced he would not be running for the U.S. Senate.
“The dollar has fallen through the floor, there’s half a dozen countries now that have a higher value and more than that than us,” Ventura told The Alex Jones Show.
The former Minnesota Governor identified two key factors behind dollar devaluation – the war in Iraq and the ballooning national debt.
“It’s the exact two things that I’ve been harping on for the last 2 months and a half….we must do something about the $9 trillion dollars plus of debt we owe throughout the world,” said Ventura, adding that most people in America were unconcerned about the greenback’s spectacular plummet.
"Attempt at an Invisible Sphere," a globe made from 215 cameras and screens, was our first introduction to Jonathan Schipper's work. When we had the chance to visit the Brooklyn-based artist in his studio recently, we got to check out more of the "mechanical paradoxes" that make up Schipper's ouevre and watch him tinker on his latest undertaking, an animatronic sculpture set in motion by a player piano reel of Slayer's "Raining Blood." The piece debuted in a group show that opened last Friday, 23 June 2006, called "Factitious" at Brooklyn's Pierogi Gallery, and will run through 31 July 2006.
