GOVERNMENT OF THE USA IN EXILE
Free Americans Reaching Out to Amerika's Huddled Masses Yearning to Breathe Free

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Certainly Counterpunch (see below) would never "muse about killing and torturing anti-war activists"--but the similarities between New Republic and it are much more interesting than the differences.

Neither has allowed its readers to learn that:

1--Those three World Trade Center skyscrapers collapsed on 9/11/01 not because of fires or being hit by flying objects but because of sophisticated controlled demolitions.

2--Statisticians from several leading universities have estimated that around 5.5% of the votes cast for Kerry on 11/02/04 got fraudulently credited to Bush.

3--Two FBI agents left their Minnesota offices for the Wellstones' plane-crash site before the plane crashed--evidently to grab the black box quickly, then say there was none.

4--Almost all the damage to the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City came from a huge blast inside it rather than from the small explosion in the vehicle parked outside.

Of course this list should be much longer, so please send your additions for it and I'll circulate them in a couple weeks.

So both publications suppress accurate descriptions of the massive underbelly events which create the conditions necessary for big surface events like the recent US-led invasions of Afghanistan, Iraq and Haiti. But we can at least say that Counterpunch does a better job of depicting these surface events than does New Republic.

Evidently Out of Bounds Magazine rates Counterpunch as "America's Best Political Newsletter " because it's sure that the latter's opposition always is loyally well within bounds. And this is why The Nation Magazine--also guilty of the Big Four Censorships summarized above--is willing to publish Alexander Cockburn's less-than-brilliant "Minority Report" column.

Yours for all species,
