April 25, 2006 -- WMR first reported yesterday that there was no confirmation that fired CIA officer Mary O. McCarthy was the leaker of classified information about CIA secret gulags in Eastern Europe. Later in the day, McCarthy, speaking through her lawyer, denied that she was the leaker, although several news organizations had already spun neo-con disinformation claiming she had confessed to the leaks. April 25, 2006 -- WMR first reported yesterday that there was no confirmation that fired CIA officer Mary O. McCarthy was the leaker of classified information about CIA secret gulags in Eastern Europe. Later in the day, McCarthy, speaking through her lawyer, denied that she was the leaker, although several news organizations had already spun neo-con disinformation claiming she had confessed to the leaks. All the typical neo-con "swiftboating" suspects were involved in the false claim: Fox, Washington Times, NewsMax, and others who, as they did with outed CIA covert operator Valerie Plame Wilson, focused on McCarthy's contributions to the Democratic Party, as if that is now a crime.

With a Fox News propagandist, Tony Snow, apparently heading to the White House to replace Scott McClellan, the distinction between propaganda and news will become even more blurred. Thanks to a friend in Finland, WMR can illustrate how Bush is portrayed abroad (in this case, in the Finnish newspaper Iltalehti.[below]). Actually, the human-animal hybrid to Bush's left appears to be a much more logical choice to replace McClellan as Press Secretary.

Meanwhile, there is talk among the right-wing chattering class about Bush imposing sedition laws in the United States against military members, journalists, government employees, and others who criticize President Sutler (err.. Bush). If that is what the right-wing regime wants, so be it. The retaliation of the American maquis will be swift and most certain.

Hell Yeah Good for You

April 25, 2006 -- This editor has decided to boycott gasoline. Today, I donated my car to Melwood, which helps provide group housing and other services for the mentally disabled. Washington DC has an adequate public transit system and I, for one, will no longer enrich Bush's "oilgarchy " friends and family. It is serious time to look at the nationalization of America's critical infrastructure industries: oil, gas, electricity, and others that have gouged the American consumer and now deserve to lose their windfall profits in a nationalization effort that will return to them ten cents on the dollar, if they are lucky.
