TVNL Editor's Comments: Amnesty International declared that the US is leading the global attack on human rights yet CNN’s lead story this morning was the Michael Jackson trial. Do people really trust the most trusted name in news to keep them informed? Why would they? Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

WAR - http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#war
  • In Iraq, efforts to catch militants fuel rage, fear - Some Iraqis said that while Operation Squeeze Play took some insurgents off the streets, it angered moderate Iraqis while giving insurgents a friendlier environment in which to carry out attacks.
  • Peace in Iraq 'will take at least five years to impose' - The thinktank's report said that Iraq had become a valuable recruiting ground for al-Qaida, and Iraqi forces were nowhere near close to matching the insurgency.
  • Insurgents Flourish in Iraq's Wild West - The U.S. military's plan to pacify Iraq has run into trouble in a place where it urgently needs to succeed.
  • 14 U.S. Soldiers Killed in 3 Days in Iraq - Eighteen U.S. troops have been killed in Iraq during the past week, raising concerns that insurgents may again be focusing their sights on American forces in addition to Shiite Muslims.
  • WILL THE REAL SADDAM PLEASE STAND UP? - And, after studying the teeth and ears closely, I must agree that a real doubt exists that the man on the right is the same person as the man on the left. Saddam was known to have used doubles for security precautions, and he came from a large family with many cousins who bore a striking resemblance to him. Did the US bag one of the doubles? It would appear so.
POLITICS - http://www.tvnewslies.org/news#politics
  • HOW THEY "FAKE PUBLIC" FOR "TOWN HALL MEETINGS - How Bush Makes Sure They Agree: A memo illustrates the way the White House is selectively casting members of the under-30 set to promote its Social Security plan.
ECONOMY - http://www.tvnewslies.org/news#economy
  • UPDATE PENDING
9/11 - http://www.tvnewslies.org/news#911
  • The 9/11 Commission Report: A 571-Page Lie - In discussing my second 9/11 book, The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions, I have often said, only half in jest, that a better title might have been “a 571-page lie.” (Actually, I was saying “a 567-page lie,” because I was forgetting to count the four pages of the Preface.) In making this statement, one of my points has been that the entire Report is constructed in support of one big lie: that the official story about 9/11 is true.
  • Re-open 9/11 European Tour 2005 - Prominent September 11th Truth activists take to the road on a tour of European cities including Amsterdam, Vienna, Rome, Berlin, Madrid, London and Manchester, starting on 19th May and concluding in Manchester on 4th June.
  • 911 and the Precautionary Principle: Aircraft Parts as a Clue to their Identity - The government alleges that four wide-body airliners crashed on the morning of September 11 2001, resulting in the deaths of more than 3,000 human beings, yet not one piece of hard aircraft evidence has been produced in an attempt to positively identify any of the four aircraft. On the contrary, it seems only that all potential evidence was deliberately kept hidden from public view. The hard evidence would have included hundreds of critical time-change aircraft items, plus security videotapes that were confiscated by the FBI immediately following each tragic episode.
  • Pentagon Plot - They say a Boeing 757 was never found at The Pentagon, that only one engine was found and that engine does not seem to match the engine from a 757, that airplane crashes leave wreckage, they mess up the ground -- Not at The Pentagon.

  • Veteran Democrat raises worries on civil liberties, 2002 Iraq attack plan - “Most of my career has been spent making more specific the guarantees and the rights and the privileges of citizens and the limitations of government power,” the congressman said. “We’re doing the reverse now. We’re having the executive branch [wade] more willy nilly into judicial matters, frequently into legislative matters, and there’s a certain arrogance that goes along with it.”
  • FBI asks US Congress for power to seize documents - The FBI on Tuesday asked the U.S. Congress for sweeping new powers to seize business or private records, ranging from medical information to book purchases, to investigate terrorism without first securing approval from a judge.

If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
