SCOOP COMMENT & OPINION

Antiquities: Suzan Mazur Talks To Medici Conspiracy Author Peter Watson
- The Carlyle Hotel on Manhattan's Upper East Side was the designated meeting spot, in the bar made famous by Ludwig
Bemelmans' mural of Manhattan, Carlyle's very own Euphronios masterpiece. Bemelmans' was packed at 5:30, and I ran into
US News & World Report publisher Mort Zuckerman, who was happy to see me thinking I was his date. Medici Conspiracy author, Peter
Watson, arrived soon after. And Peter and I settled in at a table beside one of Bemelman's bankers on the wall. See... Krumpets With Medici Conspiracy's Peter Watson [1]
Milton Friedman RIP: Killing America Softly With His Song
- You'd never guess it from the sycophantic obituaries, but Milton Friedman did more damage to American democracy and
culture than just about any figure in the 20th century. The sycophancy isn't surprising. Friedman was blessed with it
from the start. For example, the supposedly liberal PBS starred him in a ten part series, "Free to Choose" in 1980 just
in time to help Reagan win the presidency. See… Friedman: Killing America Softly With His Song [1] . See also… Video: Milton Friedman Addresses 2003 ACT Conf. [2]
American Coup: A Push For Paper Ballots For Presidential Election 2008
- The United States just endured another election that inspired more suspicion than confidence. Two years after the
fiasco of Election 2004 in Ohio and elsewhere, four year years after the never investigated mystery of Georgia 2002, and
six years after the disgrace of Florida which saw the loser of the popular vote (s)elected President by the Supreme
Court; major problems pervade the US election system. The new problems created by computerized voting and tabulation
merge with traditional race and class based election fraud in an assault on free, fair, transparent and inclusive
elections. See... M. Collins: Paper for President - The Time is NOW [1] MORE AMERICAN COUP 2006 NEWS: Rob Kall - Clear Evidence 2006 Congressional Elections Hacked [2] John Gideon - Daily Voting News For November 20, 2006 [3] , November 19, 2006 [4] & November 17-18, 2006 [5]
911 Unanswered Questions: How Much 9/11 Connected Heroin Would Be Newsworthy?
- For at least the past three years, news accounts published in the MadCowMorningNews and in my book "Welcome to
TERRORLAND" have asserted that while he was in Venice and Southwest Florida, several of terrorist ringleader Mohamed
Atta's closest associates were, surprisingly, not Arab nationals, but German or Swiss, through evidence developed from
interviews with Amanda Keller, Mohamed Atta's erstwhile American girlfriend. See... UQ Wire: Sarasota Herald Tribune Retraction Sought [1] & UQ Wire: Mohamed Atta Associate in South Pacific [2]
Media: The Death Of Newspapers? Journalism?
- If some doomsday industry analysts are to be believed, newspapers are laid out and stacked neatly inside their own
future death warehouses, not only in the United States, but worldwide. "October was a pretty depressing month for
national newspapers. While circulations slide, the industry news has been dominated by job cuts and staff unrest,
particularly among journalists," England's Guardian Unlimited reported in November. See... Thomas D. Williams: The Decline of Journalism [1]
Iran: Yet Another Seymour Hersh Scoop On Iran War Plans
- A month before the November elections, Vice-President Dick Cheney was sitting in on a national-security discussion at
the Executive Office Building. The talk took a political turn: what if the Democrats won both the Senate and the House?
How would that affect policy toward Iran, which is believed to be on the verge of becoming a nuclear power? At that
point, according to someone familiar with the discussion, Cheney began reminiscing about his job as a lineman, in the
early nineteen-sixties, for a power company in Wyoming. See...
