TvNewsLIES Headline News

TVNL Editor's Comments: While the US media, in the interest of the oil companies, have helped to convince you that our car companies can not improve the mpg ratings of their vehicles, and while the liberal hating right wingers say they can not improve the mileage due to “stupid” environmental regulations, Brazil went ahead and created cars that run on gasoline or fuel made of 100% sugar, or a mixture of the two That’s right; the cars in Brazil can run on 100% ethanol which is made of sugar. That would be the same sugar that you put in your coffee and that you sprinkle on your corn flakes! This is a clean renewable fuel that has helped a nation to reduce its dependency on oil, and Americans have never even heard of it. Tell me again how we are the greatest nation in the world!!! Thank the media for keeping this information from the public. Thank them too for conning you into voting for oil company executives to run our nation. When are we going to realize that the corporate media is our enemy? Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

· The US war with Iran has already begun - By the intensity of the "liberation/democracy" rhetoric alone, Americans should be put on notice that Iran is well-fixed in the cross-hairs as the next target for the illegal policy of regime change being implemented by the Bush administration.

· Al-Qaida militants raise fears of Taliban resurgence - Fears of a bloody Taliban resurgence, bolstered by newly arrived al-Qaida militants, are mounting in southern Afghanistan amid a string of Iraq-style attacks, assassinations and a steadily rising US death toll.

· Iraqi Security Tactics Evoke the Hussein Era - Many detainees face beatings and some are killed.

· Associated Press publishes 6 new "secret and confidential" Downing Street memos - AP is saying that the memos show; "When Prime Minister Tony Blair's chief foreign policy adviser dined with Condoleezza Rice six months after Sept. 11, the then-U.S. national security adviser didn't want to discuss Osama bin Laden or al-Qaida. She wanted to talk about 'regime change' in Iraq, setting the stage for the U.S.-led invasion more than a year later."
TVNL Comment: Could this be because the US was not worried about Osama because the US was responsible for 9/11 and they knew that there was no real threat?

· Iraq war started too early Attacks preceded congressional OK - It's even worse that, as the British Downing Street memo confirms, the administration had so little evidence of real threats that officials knew from the start that they were going to have to manufacture excuses to go to war. What's more damning still is that they effectively began this war even before the congressional vote.

· Iraq, Tony & the Truth - - Recorded from original transmission, BBC 1, Sunday, 20 March 2005

· Libraries Say Yes, Officials Do Quiz Them About Users - In some cases, agents used subpoenas or other formal demands to obtain information like lists of users checking out a book on Osama bin Laden.

· Questions arise over FBI leadership in war on terror - A lawyer who interviewed a number of top current and former counterterrorism officials at the FBI in connection with a lawsuit against the bureau has written to three senators saying that the officials lacked a detailed understanding of terrorism and were promoted to top jobs despite having little experience in the field.

· FBI Failed to Hire Mideast Terror Experts - In sworn testimony that contrasts with their promises to the public, the FBI managers who crafted the post-Sept. 11 fight against terrorism say expertise about the Mideast or terrorism was not important in choosing the agents they promoted to top jobs. - And they still do not believe such experience is necessary today even as terrorist acts occur across the globe.
TVNL Comment: Another item that beckons the question: Is the US really worried about terrorism? We think they are not because they know the threat is not that great and that it is state sponsored terrorism that has been used to scare Americans into submission. If terrorism ans the war on terror were real this kind of news would not exist.

No other nation is using ethanol on such a vast scale. The change wasn't easy or cheap. But 30 years later, Brazil is reaping the return on its investment in energy security while the U.S. writes checks for $50-a-barrel foreign oil.

· Some South Florida scientists claim they were fired for being outspoken - Andy Eller said he was just doing his U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service job -- protecting the endangered Florida panther from development -- when he was fired in 2004 for finding fault with the science his employer used to approve home and road construction through panther territory in southwest Florida.
