Hello
The reason for my site is to post articles and news that are ignored by the media. I am a beginner so this is all new to me .
I usually surf the internet for ignored news by the media and network it to friends and family both dems repubs and indep hoping they forward to their address book.
Eventually I will post published letters I wrote to newspapers. THe facts vs the spin.
My nephew Jon a computer programmer ,for years, encouraged me to instead of networking to get a web page up.
The first day i posted an article while listening to Rush, he started to read the article ( It was Sadam having extensive terrorist ties) Wow that was a boost!
For instance ignored reports : the cia report : which said
The Duelfer report, which includes assessments based on FBI interrogations of Saddam, said the former Iraqi leader intended to rebuild his weapons capabilities once U.N. sanctions were lifted. The report also said they did not know if the WMD's were transfered out of Iraq before the war. ( THe media conveniently leaves this important part of the report out)
AS WELL AS: The FOOD FOR OIL UN PROGRAM
Iraq was under a sweeping U.N. trade embargo beginning August 1990 after it invaded Kuwait. The sanctions were lifted after the U.S. invasion.
At the end of 1996, the United Nations and Iraq began the oil-for-food program that allowed Baghdad to buy civilian goods and sell oil to pay for them under U.N. monitoring. But since 1990, Iraq, openly shipped oil by truck to Jordan and Turkey, with the United States and others turning a blind eye.
The report said oil deals with various governments generated over $7.5 billion for Saddam from the early 1990s until the start of the 2003 war.
Iraq earned an additional $3 billion from kickbacks or surcharges on oil, smuggling and other schemes, the report said.
