*FOOD
FOR THOUGHT: We now have enough subscribers to support TvNewsLIES.org
if every subscriber to this mailing list donated $1
per month!* If we doubled the size of our list it would
only take $0.50 per week. Being financed to this point would mean
that TvNewsLIES could pay for its
overhead and any money over this amount could go towards hiring
reporters and expanding the new radio program. It would also allow
TvNewsLIES could repay my original
investment so that I can do things like pay the rent and buy food!
Just something to think about.

Editor's Comments: So When are Bush's & Cheney's Trials and
What Will Their Penalties for Genocide Be?*
If
I bthoughtb that a man who lived overseas posed a
threat to my family, and I took a plane over to his nation, and I
killed him, and as a result his family was left homeless and
threatened by violence sparked by the killing of that man...and it
turns out that I made a bmistakeb in thinking he was a
threat...would I be arrested? Would I be extradited? Would I be
put on trial for murder? Would I have to pay restitutions? Would
you think that at the very least I would have my passport and gun
taken away from me so I would not do it again? Well the answers to
all those questions are yes!
Then
why isn't George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, most of the US Congress and
just about every member of the US establishment media under arrest
and awaiting trial? At the very least they should be relieved of
their duties, or I should say responsibilities.
Let's
for a minute pretend that the invasion of Iraq was a good natured
mistake (I know...just work with me here). Well this tragic
bmistakeb (I can't believe I am saying that...when
everyone knows that this was planned way before the self
inflicted, Iraq war starting permission slip known as 9/11 took
place, also known as PNAC's new Pearl Harbor), has resulted in the
deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, including American
military personnel. It has also resulted in the creation of 4
million Iraqi refugees! What should the penalty for such actions
be? What charges should be brought? Several hundred thousand
counts of voluntary manslaughter? Make that man woman and child
slaughter! Well? Where are the cops? Where is the justice system?
Where is the justice?
Do
you know what the term is for a world leader who uses military
actions to create a refugee situation? The term is bevil
despotb, or btyrantb, or bwar criminalb
or bterroristb or bmaniacb, or bgenocidal
maniacb, or bmass murderer!b Do you know what
term the criminal US establishment media uses to describe such a
person? They use the term bCommander in Chief!b They
use the term bU.S. Administration. They use the term
bCongress.b
Well,
as long as the establishment media remains in place the majority
of the American people will never learn the correct terminology.
But for the readers of this newsletter...when you hear the term
bCommander in Chiefb from now on...maybe you'll make
the connection. Think about it. - Jesse bEditor,

give the Democrats a lock on the crucial middle-class vote and
revive the reputation of the party." (via) Think about that.
