To Whom It May Concern:

It is my understanding that Venezuela has offered assistance to the victims of the recent hurricanes in the United States. It is also my understanding that the current government of the United States has refused this assistance. I am the head of a dissident political movement in Texas that is opposed to US hegemony and I have personally been displaced and have lost nearly everything due to the hurricane which struck Texas. Due to my status as the leader of this movement the US government has denied me assistance. My story is not unique. I have spoken with hundreds and know of thousands of others who have experienced this form of US discrimination.

It is a time like this that proves that the United States has misplaced priorities. The can spends billions on destroying the sovereign nation of Iraq and millions to support a coup attempt in Venezuela but cannot care for those that they claim are subject to their rule.

I appreciate the stance that Venezuela has taken as a world leader on the issues of foreign policy and sovereingty and I welcome the assistance of Venezuela in Texas' time of hardship. I would like to offer our groups assistance to distribute whatever aid you find that your country is gracious to give. As I have been personally affected by this hurricane and by the indifference of the United States government to the suffering of it's most vulnerable citizens.

Sincerely,
Daniel Miller
President
Republic of Texas Interim Government

"Israel is the largest recipient of U.S financial aid in the world, receiving a staggering $14 million per day for the last 25 years," Zeese noted. Yet while it has given Israel more aid than it has to the entire continent of Africa, the U.S. does not control the relationship. In fact, the reverse is true, Zeese claimed, with Israeli leaders often in the driver's seat.

In a report chronicling the killing of an estimated 15,000 men, women and children by insurgents, the organisation insists that international law applies equally to US-led forces as well as those claiming to resist foreign occupation. “The armed conflict in Iraq is regulated by the 1949 Geneva Conventions and customary international laws,” says the report, Iraq: Insurgent Groups Responsible for War Crimes.

The FBI's counterterrorism unit has launched a broad investigation of US-based theft rings after discovering that some of the vehicles used in deadly car bombings in Iraq, including attacks that killed US troops and Iraqi civilians, were probably stolen in the United States, according to senior government officials.

"The British have turned into terrorists," Fahed Jaber, a trader, said. "They have become Americans. Before, they were our friends; now we see them as occupiers."

There's a stark difference in the way the U.S. confronted an oil crisis when Democrats were in control, compared to the way it has now that Republicans dominate.

For the one-zillionth time, of the 15 cases Ronnie Earle has brought against politicians over the years, 12 were against Democrats. Earle was so aggressive in going after corrupt Democrats, the Republicans never even put up a candidate against him all during the '80s.

For some time, now, Messrs. Bush and Blair and their coterie of sycophantic neophytes, have burbled on about the "new democracy" in Iraq having been successfully established - a laughable proposition were it not such a deadly one.

Exchanging the Kingdom of God for American mationalism: 'Robertson's call to implement this vision by assassinating a foreign head of state should not invalidate the metaphor any more than repeated fatwahs by Muslim fanatics calling for jihad against western civilization should invalidate the positive principles of Islam."
