The 1970 killings by National Guardsmen of four students during a peaceful anti-war demonstration at Kent State University have now been shown to be cold-blooded, premeditated official murder. But the definitive proof of this monumental historic reality is not, apparently, worthy of significant analysis or comment in today’s mainstream media.

Twelve years after the worst incident of domestic terrorism in the nation’s history, hard evidence continues to surface that directly contradicts the federal government’s claim that all those who perpetrated that horrible crime have been caught, convicted and sentenced...

Washington Post — Looks like he's reached his boiling point.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), the most liberal of the Democratic presidential candidates in the primary field, declared in a letter sent to his Democratic House colleagues this morning that he plans to file articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney.

Kucinich has made ending the war in Iraq the central theme of his campaign. He has even taken aim at the leading Democratic presidential candidates in the field for their votes on authorizing the war.

Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution gives Congress the authority to impeach the president, vice president and "all civil Officers of the United States" for "treason, bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

May 8, 1996

--Still Seeking the Truth, Ten Years Later--

Press conference to be held Monday, May 8, to commemorate the seven years of service OKC Police Sergeant Terrance Yeakey offered to his fellow officers and the citizens of Oklahoma City, and to mark the ten year anniversary of the day he was murdered and found abandoned in a U.S. Bureau of Prisons farm field.

The death of Sgt. Yeakey, first Oklahoma City officer to arrive on the scene at the A.P. Murrah federal building after the 1995 bombing, was never properly investigated according to the basic standards of criminal law. Consequently, his death was erroneously ruled a suicide vs. an unsolved homicide.

Links to more information on OKC and Sgt. Yeakey follow.

Eleven years after the bombing of the OKC Murrah Building, Lawton asks why we are so often allowed to watch crime-related video tapes on the nightly news and television progams, yet the US Department of Justice continues to fight the release of OKC surveillance tapes, in spite of ongoing FOIA requests. Eleven years? What's to hide?

Finally, seven years after the King family, represented by attorney William Pepper, won their civil case proving "YES - Others including governmental agencies were parties to this conspiracy," (see www.thekingcenter.com/tkc/trial.html), the Martin Luther King, Jr. Records Collection Act of 2005 (HR2554/S2499) has been introduced in Congress, "to provide for the expeditious disclosure of records relevant to the life and assassination of Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr." After nearly 35 years, we ask, again, why the secrecy? What's to hide?

Sound familiar? Many FOIA requests have been filed regarding information being withheld by the government that would similarly shed light on the events of 9/11. For instance, at www.flight77.info, one man is documenting his ongoing battle for the freedom supposedly offered in the Freedom of Information Act process. Nearly five years have passed since 9/11/01 ... what's to hide?

"Newly Declassified National Security Agency Documents Show Analysts Made 'SIGINT fit the claim' of North Vietnamese Attack" heads this timely and relevant article from The National Security Archive. "The parallels between the faulty intelligence on Tonkin Gulf and the manipulated intelligence used to justify the Iraq War make it all the more worthwhile to re-examine the events of August 1964 in light of new evidence."

It would appear obvious that, in light of the preponderance of 'new evidence' surrounding the events of 9/11/01, gathered by intrepid citizens taking the search for truth into their own hands, a re-examination of those events is also immediately warranted. This is particularly important, given the fact that the ensuing wars on Afghanistan and Iraq were predicated on the "official version" of those events, resulting in the deaths now of over 2100 US troops, perhaps over 100,000 Iraqis, and the rerouting of trillions of dollars from desperately needed domestic programs to the ever-burgeoning war machine.

More evidence that the "Gulf of Tonkin" event was yet another in a long, sordid history of covert operations designed to convince Americans of the necessity of war. In light of revelations of the Downing Street Minutes, "yellow cake" lies, and other "intelligence" designed to support war, is there any question 9/11 was likewise designed to support a hidden agenda?

Another official story unravels. A former Scottish police chief has given lawyers a signed statement claiming that the CIA planted a tiny piece of circuit board crucial in convicting a Libyan for the 1989 Pan Am plane bombing and mass murder of 270 people...

Yet another exhibit for a class action suit against American history teachers for leaving us ignorant and defenseless against the same murderous hoaxes generation after generation. Unlike the public, the ruling neocons know their history -- and how to repeat it to boost their profits and power. Just as 9/11 reprised the Reichstag fire, Pearl Harbor and many other victim-facilitated attacks, Mr. Higgs shows us here the Iraq follow-through was also prefigured and prescripted nearly a century back. - Ed.

The composition of a coherent historical narrative is no easy task. Fortunately, the aspiring historian of the current U.S. war in Iraq can draw upon earlier narratives to ease the burden, merely substituting a word here and there in order to make the text accord with the specific names and places that are now pertinent. As the following illustrative statements show, however, basic patterns tend to persist, so one need not suffer through a protracted new search for how a particular war has come to be fought. My textual changes to apply the model to the present war appear in brackets.

To gain popular support for so useless a policy [as attacking and occupying Iraq] Republicans were unrelenting in their efforts to arouse jingo sentiment in the country.

The Democrats, too, were eager for a foreign adventure.

. . . the American people could indeed be diverted from their domestic concerns if the right sort of foreign crusade was offered.

By inciting hatred of [Saddam], by crying up interventionist pretexts, by encouraging the rebels to prolong their struggle, by entangling America officially in [Iraq’s] affairs, the interventionists bent themselves to the task of turning passive, if promising, sympathy [for oppressed Iraqis] into active, fighting support.
