San Francisco:- Last month a federal judge ruled that that California’s Proposition 8, a voter-passed ban on same-sex marriage, was unconstitutional. Judge Vaughn Walker ruled there was no legitimate state interest in preventing same-sex marriages and that “moral disapproval” was insufficient reason to justify a ban on same-sex marriage. California’s Attorney General, Democrat Jerry Brown as well as the Republican Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger have refrained from filing briefs in the current appeal before the Courts.
However ten anti-gay States feel differently, and have seen fit to file a brief against gay marriage (effectively) in California and these include Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming.
The 39-page amicus brief states that the Constitution does not require marriage to include same-sex couples and states, not federal courts, have final say in whether to allow same-sex marriages. The brief was sent to the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on Friday.
Do these States have locus standi in judicia – standing to join this appeal?
This indicates the significance of every single race whether local or national in the upcoming election; we must continue to fight for Democratic and progressive leadership at every level.San Francisco:- Last month a federal judge ruled that that California’s... more

When Bush pushed CAFTA through Congress, it was a very close win for the GOP's
Big Business allies.
The final vote was 217-215(http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2005/roll443.xml).
Although 187 Democrats voted against it-- only 15 joining the Republicans in
favor-- Boehner, Blunt, Cantor, Ryan delivered for their corporate masters
once again.
For the last month Boehner has been running around the country like a bright
orange chicken without a head squawking, "Where are the jobs, Mr. President?"
It's an ironic question coming from one of the engineers responsible for
passing trade policies that have systematically decimated the basis of America's
manufacturing base. Boehner and his cronies-- their wallets fat with gargantuan
payoffs from outsourcers-- have voted for every single bad trade bill that has
ever promised to ship American jobs overseas. For Boehner to publicly ask where
the jobs are is a slap in the face to every American worker and an insult to the
intelligence of every Ohio voter. In the Senate, Obama looked at the exact same
CAFTA bill Boehner and the Republicans did. Then-Senator Obama voted against it.
(http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=109&session=1&vote=00170)
Several conservative Senate Republicans voted NO as well (John Thune,
Lindsey Graham, David Vitter, Mike Enzi, Richard Shelby...) but voting to send
American jobs to slave wage economies: Jim DeMint, Richard Burr, Mike DeWine,
Chuck Grassley, Blanche Lincoln, John McCain, Ben Nelson and, of course
Miss McConnell. All the Democrats voted against it with the exception of a small
handful of corporate whores who habitually vote with the GOP against
working families.
But let's go back to the House for a moment, where every member has to face the
voters in November. Why are Ohio voters thinking of reelecting John Boehner, who
has screwed them on WTO, screwed them on CAFTA, screwed them on NAFTA and has the
temerity to be boosting plans for more unbalanced trade legislation with a
handful of more low-wage countries. I know he wants to destroy the standard of
living of American workers and make them into serfs but who does he think will be
buying American goods and services to keep our consumer-driven economy afloat if
there are no decent jobs? Not everyone can be a caddy or bartender!
Instead of asking Justin Coussoule for another quote about Boehner's record on
jobs and how it has devastated businesses and the economy from Butler County up
through Darke, Miami and Mercer, we took a look at a perfectly framed ad by
Rob Miller, the former marine running against Joe "You Lie" Wilson. Although
South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham warned that CAFTA would be disastrous
for South Carolina's textile industry and small businesses (and voted NO),
at the last minute Wilson was persuaded by Boehner's slick blandishments and
voted YES, along with Gresham Barrett and Bob Inglis, both of whom have been
disposed of by tea party activists. Miller's TV ad should leave Wilson reeling:
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUWs7IlR020)
We caught up with Rob this morning and asked him if Wilson, just one Member of
Congress, really hurt South Carolina with his vote. We knew the answer but we
wanted to see how Rob would put it. He put it well:
> When Joe Wilson went to Congress in December 2001, South Carolina’s
> unemployment rate was 5.7 percent. Today, 10.8 percent of
> South Carolinians are without jobs, including 112,500 people who
> have lost their manufacturing jobs.
> Manufacturing was the backbone of South Carolina’s economy, until
> unfair trade deals like CAFTA went into effect. CAFTA sent thousands
> of our jobs overseas, and people all across the state knew that
> would happen before the first vote was cast.
> But that didn’t stop Joe Wilson. Joe Wilson voted for CAFTA and broke
> his promise to protect South Carolina’s workers, sending their jobs to
> Central America. The real insult is that Joe Wilson cast the deciding
> vote for CAFTA. If Wilson voted “No” CAFTA would not have passed.
> It was that simple, and Joe Wilson didn’t have the courage to do what’s
> right. South Carolina towns are dying-- people are struggling to put
> food on the table-- and it all comes down to Joe Wilson turning his back
> on South Carolina’s workers by voting “Yes” for CAFTA.
I hope lots of Democrats watch Rob's ad. Similar ones would be especially
effective against Roy Blunt (R-MO), Mike Castle (R-DE), Mark Kirk (R-IL), and
John Boozman (R-AR) four particularly corrupt Wall Street darlings who are all
trying to upgrade from the House to the Senate. It may also be useful for
Democrats in New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and New Mexico to keep in mind as Charlie
Bass, Mike Fitzpatrick and Steve Pearce try to slip back into office without
letting voters know they were major players in the battles to pass CAFTA and
similarly toxic trade bills.When Bush pushed CAFTA through Congress, it was a very close win for the GOP's... more

Bobby is seven years old, but this is not the first time he has been subjected to electroshock. It's his third time. In all, over the next year, Bobby will experience eight electroshock sessions. Placed on the examining table, he is held down by two male attendants while the physician places a solution on his temples. Bobby struggles with the two men holding him down, but his efforts are useless. He cries out and tries to pull away. One of the attendants tries to force a thick wedge of rubber into his mouth. He turns his head sharply away and cries out, "Let me go, please. I don't want to be here. Please, let me go." Bobby's physician looks irritated and she tells him, "Come on now, Bobby, try to act like a big boy and be still and relax." Bobby turns his head away from the woman and opens his mouth for the wedge that will prevent him from biting through his tongue. He begins to cry silently, his small shoulders shaking and he stiffens his body against what he knows is coming.
Mary is only five years old. She sits on a small, straight-backed chair, moving her legs back and forth, humming the same four notes over and over and over. Her head, framed in a tangled mass of golden curls, moves up and down with each note. For the first three years of her life, Mary was thought to be a mostly normal child. Then, after she began behaving oddly, she had been handed off to a foster family. Her father and
About the same time Dr. Bender was conducting her electroshock experiments, she was also widely experimenting on autistic and schizophrenic children with what she termed other "treatment endeavors." These included use of a wide array of psycho-pharmaceutical agents, several provided to her by the Sandoz Chemical Co. in Basel, Switzerland, as well as Metrazol, sub-shock insulin therapy, amphetamines and anticonvulsants. Metrazol was a trade name for pentylenetetrazol, a drug used as a circulatory and respiratory stimulant. High doses cause convulsions, as discovered in 1934 by the Hungarian-American neurologist and psychiatrist Ladislas J. Meduna.
Metrazol had been used in convulsive therapy, but was never considered to be effective, and side effects such as seizures were difficult to avoid. The medical records of several patients who were confined at Vermont State Hospital, a public mental facility, reveal that Metrazol was administered to them by CIA contractor Dr. Robert Hyde on numerous occasions in order "to address overly aggressive behavior." One of these patients, Karen Wetmore, received the drug on a number of occasions for no discernible medical reason. During the same ten-year period in which Metrazol was used by the Vermont State Hospital, patient deaths skyrocketed. In 1982, the FDA revoked its approval of Metrazol.
Here it should be noted that, during the cold war years, CIA and Army Counter-Intelligence Corps (CIC) interrogators, working as part of projects Bluebird and Artichoke, sometimes injected large amounts of Metrazol into selected enemy or Communist agents for the purposes of severely frightening other suspected agents, by forcing them to observe the procedure. The almost immediate effects of Metrazol are shocking for many to witness: subjects will shake violently, twisting and turning. They typically arch, jerk and contort their bodies and grimace in pain. With Metrazol, as with electroshock, bone fractures - including broken necks and backs - and joint dislocations are not uncommon, unless strong sedatives are administered beforehand.
A November 1936 Time mag. article seriously questioned the benefits of Metrazol, citing "irreversible shock" as a "great danger." The article described a typical Metrazol injection as such: "A patient receives no food for four or five hours. Then about five cubic centimeters of the drug [Metrazol] are injected into his veins. In about half-a-minute he coughs, casts terrified glances around the room, twitches violently, utters a horse wail, freezes into rigidity with his mouth wide open, arms and legs stiff as boards. Then he goes into convulsions. In one or two minutes the convulsions are over and he gradually passes into a coma, which lasts about an hour. After a series of shocks, his mind may be swept clean of delusions.... A patient is seldom given more than 20 injections and if no improvement is noted after ten treatments, he is usually given up as hopeless."
The Army, the CIA and Metrazol | This is just important sections go read whole thing!
Army CIC interrogators working with the CIA at prisoner of war camps and safe house locations in post-war Germany on occasion used Metrazol, morphine, heroin and LSD on incarcerated subjects. According to former CIC officer Miles Hunt, several "safe houses and holding areas outside of Frankfurt near Oberursel" - a former Nazi interrogation center taken over by the US - were operated by a "special unit run by Capt. Malcolm S. Hilty, Maj. Mose Hart and Capt. Herbert Sensenig.
Eventually, CIC interrogators working in Germany would be assisted in their use of interrogation drugs by several "former" Nazi scientists recruited by the CIA and US State Department as part of Project Paperclip. By early 1952, the CIC's Rough Boys would routinely use Metrazol during interrogations, as well as LSD, mescaline and conventional electroshock units.
Metrazol-like drugs are still used in interrogations today. According to reports from several former noncommissioned Army officers, who served on rendition-related security details in Turkey, Pakistan and Romania, drugs that produce effects quite similar to Metrazol are still used in 2010 by the Pentagon and CIA on enemy combatants and rendered subjects held at the many "black sites" maintained across the globe. Observed one former officer recently, "They would twist up like a pretzel, in unbelievable shapes and jerk and shake like crazy, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads."
In 2008, at the behest of US Sens. Carl Levin, Joe Biden and Chuck Hagel and in reaction to a March 2008 article in The Washington Post, the Pentagon initiated an Inspector General Report on the use of "mind-altering substances by DoD [Department of Defense] Personnel during Interrogations of Detainees and/or Prisoners Captured during the War on Terror." It is not known if the investigation has been completed. Among the more famous recent cases of the use of drugs upon prisoners concerns one-time alleged "enemy combatant" Jose Padilla, who had originally been accused of wanting to set off a "dirty bomb."
The government has gone to great efforts to keep the public uninformed as regards use of drugs on prisoners. In an article by Carol Rosenberg for McClatchy News in July 2010, Rosenberg reported that, when covering the Guantanamo military commissions trials, when the question of "what psychotropic drugs were given another accused 9/11 conspirator, Ramzi bin al Shibh, the courtroom censor hits a white noise button so reporters viewing from a glass booth can't hear the names of the drugs. Under current Navy instructions for the use of human subjects in research, the undersecretary of the Navy is described as the authority in charge of research concerning "consciousness-altering drugs or mind-control techniques," while at the same time is also responsible for "inherently controversial topics" that might attract media interest or "challenge by interest groups."Bobby is seven years old, but this is not the first time he has been subjected to... more

August 4, 2010 |
It was the middle of a tough primary contest, and Rep. Bob Inglis (R-S.C.) had convened a small meeting with donors who had contributed thousands of dollars to his previous campaigns. But this year, as Inglis faced a challenge from tea party-backed Republican candidates claiming Inglis wasn't sufficiently conservative, these donors hadn't ponied up. Inglis' task: Get them back on the team. "They were upset with me," Inglis recalls. "They are all Glenn Beck watchers." About 90 minutes into the meeting, as he remembers it, "They say, 'Bob, what don't you get? Barack Obama is a socialist, communist Marxist who wants to destroy the American economy so he can take over as dictator. Health care is part of that. And he wants to open up the Mexican border and turn [the US] into a Muslim nation.'" Inglis didn't know how to respond.
As he tells this story, the veteran lawmaker is sitting in his congressional office, which he will have to vacate in a few months. On June 22, he was defeated in the primary runoff by Spartanburg County 7th Circuit Solicitor Trey Gowdy, who had assailed Inglis for supposedly straying from his conservative roots, pointing to his vote for the bank bailout and against George W. Bush's surge in Iraq. Inglis, who served six years in Congress during the 1990s as a conservative firebrand before being reelected to the House in 2004, had also ticked off right-wingers in the state's 4th Congressional District by urging tea-party activists to "turn Glenn Beck off" and by calling on Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) to apologize for shouting "You lie!" at Obama during the president's State of the Union address. For this, Inglis, who boasts (literally) a 93 percent lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union, received the wrath of the tea party, losing to Gowdy 71 to 29 percent. In the weeks since, Inglis has criticized Republican House leaders for acquiescing to a poisonous, tea party-driven "demagoguery" that he believes will undermine the GOP's long-term credibility. And he's freely recounting his frustrating interactions with tea party types, while noting that Republican leaders are pushing rhetoric tainted with racism, that conservative activists are dabbling in anti-Semitic conspiracy theory nonsense, and that Sarah Palin celebrates ignorance.
The week after that meeting with his past funders -- whom he failed to bring back into the fold -- Inglis asked House Republican leader John Boehner what he would have told this group of Obama-bashers. Inglis recalls what happened:
[Boehner] said, "I would have told them that it's not quite that bad. We disagree with him on the issues." I said, "Hold on Boehner, that doesn't work. Let me tell you, I tried that and it did not work." I said [to Boehner], "If you're going to lead these people and the fearful stampede to the cliff that they're heading to, you have to turn around and say over your shoulder, 'Hey, you don't know the half of it.'"http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/08/gop-rep-inglis-tells-cnn-about-crazy-right-w... more

Alvin Greene, the Democratic nominee challenging Jim DeMint (R) for his South Carolina Senate seat, made his first public speech yesterday, and called for the country to "reclaim our country from the terrorists and the communists."
The speech, which took place in Manning Junior High School gymnasium in South Carolina, was hosted by the Manning chapter of the NAACP. The event attracted about 300 people yesterday afternoon.
Greene spoke for about seven minutes, and reportedly told Jessica Yellin of CNN, who was in Manning, that his speech was "handwritten on double lined notebook paper."
He began by saying that he is the best choice for the Senate seat, and is "also the best choice for the Image Award next year."
Greene then repeated the statistic that in June, "we saw a net loss of 125,000 jobs across the country." He then said that the state of South Carolina ranks 49th for education, has "the highest high school drop out rate across the country," and spends "more than two times of our tax paying dollars on inmates than students."
Greene talked about green jobs, and using alternative energy sources like "solar, wind and methane."
He also emphasized "justice in the judicial system. The punishment should fit the crime. Fairness saves us money."
"Let's move South Carolina and America forward," Greene said, adding that South Carolina "cannot afford six more years of my opponent," DeMint, who has held the state "hostage."
He ended with this message to his constituents: "if you're not registered to vote, register to vote."Alvin Greene, the Democratic nominee challenging Jim DeMint (R) for his South Carolina... more

Republican congressional candidate William "Bill" Randall is suggesting that the Obama administration and BP conspired to intentionally spill oil in the Gulf of Mexico.
Randall admits that he has no evidence that what he says is true. But that is not stopping him from making the claim as he campaigns for the GOP runoff election Tuesday to determine who faces incumbent Democratic Rep. Brad Miller on the November ballot.
"Now, I'm not necessarily a conspiracy person ... and this is purely speculative on my part and not based on any fact, but personally I feel there is a possibility that there was some sort of collusion," said Randall, who has aligned himself with the tea party movement.
"I don't know how or why, but in that situation, if you have someone from a company proposing to violate the safety process and the government signing off on it, excuse me, maybe they wanted it to leak. But then it got beyond what was anticipated, and we had an explosion and loss of life."

Alvin M. Greene never gave a speech during his campaign to become this state's Democratic nominee for Senate. He didn't start a Web site or hire consultants or plant lawn signs. There's only $114 in his campaign bank account, he says, and the only check he ever wrote from it was to cover his filing fee.
Indeed, in a three-hour interview, the unemployed military veteran could not name a single specific thing he'd done to campaign. Yet more than 100,000 South Carolinians voted for him on Tuesday, handing him nearly 60 percent of the vote and a resounding victory over Vic Rawl, a former judge who has served four terms in the state legislature.
"I'm the Democratic Party nominee," Greene says in the interview at his father's home on a lonely stretch of rural highway in central South Carolina. "The people have spoken. The people of South Carolina have spoken. The people of South Carolina have spoken. We have to be pro-South Carolina. The people of South Carolina have spoken. We have to be pro-South Carolina."
Things have gotten even stranger since Greene's win. First, the Associated Press reported that he faces felony obscenity charges for allegedly showing pornography to a University of South Carolina student last November. Greene says he's not guilty. Then the state's Democratic Party chairman called on him to withdraw from the general election. House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.) -- who has questioned whether Republicans may have planted Greene in the race -- is calling for federal and state investigations. A spokesman for Republican Sen. Jim DeMint (S.C.) called that notion "ridiculous," and Greene dismisses suggestions that he is anyone's pawn.

A South Carolina lawmaker on Thursday called a Republican gubernatorial candidate of Indian descent a "raghead," saying we have one in the White House, we don't need one in the governor's mansion.
Republican state Sen. Jake Knotts later apologized for the slur, saying the remarks about President Barack Obama and state Rep. Nikki Haley were meant as a joke.
They came on Internet political talk show, Pub Politics. Co-host Phil Bailey said Knotts said, "We've already got a raghead in the White House, we don't need another raghead in the governor's mansion."
No audio was available because of a technical problem, Bailey said.
"If it had been recorded, the public would be able to hear firsthand that my 'raghead' comments about Obama and Haley were intended in jest," Knotts said in his statement. "Bear in mind that this is a freewheeling, anything-goes Internet radio show that is broadcast from a pub. It's like local political version of Saturday Night Live, which is actually where the joke came from."
He did not repeat his original comment in his apology. Knotts of Lexington is a supporter of Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer's gubernatorial campaign.

NEWBERRY, S.C. – Two men who worked at a South Carolina poultry processing plant had spent most of the day together Tuesday, hanging out late into the evening, maybe rehashing their long shifts.
By the next morning, one of the men — who was black — was dead, shot to death and then dragged behind a pickup truck for more than 10 miles down a country road. The other — a white man — was in jail, charged with murder, and authorities were investigating the death as a possible hate crime.
"We've not been able to rule that out," Reggie Lloyd, chief of the State Law Enforcement Division, said Thursday. "You have to chase that down, as an angle of this."
The FBI has been working with Lloyd's agency to sort out what led up to the shooting death of Anthony Hill, 30. South Carolina has no state hate crime statute, and federal authorities have not decided if they will take over the case.
The body of the former S.C. National Guard firefighter was found around 4:30 a.m. Wednesday on U.S. Highway 176 in Newberry, a town of about 11,000 in central South Carolina.
Killed by a gunshot wound to the head, authorities said Hill's body was tied to a pickup truck with nylon rope and dragged until it snapped, leaving his body in the roadway.
Tracing the bloody trail left by Hill's body, deputies were led to the home of Hill's 19-year-old co-worker, Gregory Collins. For several hours, Collins refused to come out of his mobile home, surrendering only after state police agents fired tear gas inside, Newberry County Sheriff Lee Foster said.
Collins was not armed when he was arrested, but Foster said he had an empty pistol holster on his side. No bond was set for Collins, who has been charged with murder and had his first court appearance Thursday, said Newberry County Magistrate Ron Halfacre.
Hill and Collins worked together at a Louis Rich chicken processing plant in Newberry County, authorities said. Neither man had a serious criminal record, and Lloyd says his agents are still running down a number of leads to find out how long the men knew each other, if they argued before the shooting, or if they had been drinking or using drugs.
"Everything else right now is really just rumors," Lloyd said.
Collins' mobile home is tucked in a rural, wooded area near Interstate 26, far from the center of this quaint city known for its opera house and historic downtown.
The tree-lined road along which authorities say Hill's body was dragged for nearly 11 miles winds through hilly areas before opening up into gated properties of large country homes interspersed with older farmhouses.
On Thursday, a foot-wide dark stain was visible in the right hand lane of the asphalt roadway, a mark authorities planned to wash away later in the afternoon.
Hill's body was found near a local elementary school, whose children were on a half-day schedule. The local high school was scheduled to hold commencement exercises Thursday evening.
One of Collins' neighbors described him as a quiet man who was up early for work each day.
"He was like a loner, a quiet kind of person," Dakota Dye, 19, said Thursday, standing outside her mobile home two lots down from Collins' property. "I kept to our business, and he kept to his."
Standing outside the home she shared with her son in Winnsboro about 40 miles from Newberry, Hill's mother said Thursday she has a hard time believing that her son would be the victim of a hate crime.
"I just don't know how it goes between the races," said Mattie Smith, 48, standing outside her home in Winnsboro as friends and neighbors came by to comfort her. "Anthony has always been a laid-back, very mannerable young man.";_ylt=AhrRRnj2B1_uZnRf38s_KaGs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTFlbGx1MmlsBHBvcwM3MARzZWMDYWNjb3JkaW9uX3V... more

South Carolina got dumb bunnies ! Remember Miss South Carolina? Well, FCC Mignon Clyburn from South Carolina tosses out some dumb stutters of her own on C-SPAN this week. She is the daughter of House Majority Whip Rep. James Clyburn and got her new FED job TOTALLY on her SMARTS.
BTW, watch out – her daddy wants the FCC to control the INTERNET. However, in Comast v. FCC, this month, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals slapped the FCC by saying the regulatory body (made up of three DEMS and two Republicans) overstepped its legal bounds when it tried to regulate Internet management practices. FAIL FCC.
So now the FCC has a plan: reclassify (or deem) ISPs to be something different under the law (make them a Title II service under the Communications Act), and then reassert (or pass) this authority regardless of what the court said.
The FCC along with Ms Clyborn is simply following Obama’s deem and pass tactic.
