They wanted to help defend democracy and our country. Instead they were used as cannon fodder in a foreign war of conquest - ordered by men who avoided their own military service when they were youngs
NwCitizen applauds Spanish pullout from Iraq
John Servais · Sun Apr 18, 2004

Watching George Bush self destruct

This will go down as the worst presidential press conference in the history of the American Presidency.

The fellow spoke today to mute the headlines that would result from his intelligence chie
Watchers watching the watchers

The following is from an email I received from Takhoman, the Internet news in Tacoma who first broke the story of their police chief Brame when the regular media would not touch it. Takhoman is reliab
Read non-mainstream press and websites
John Servais · Sat Apr 10, 2004
If you want to know what is happening in Iraq then you have to read the foreign press and independent websites. The major American news media are not present where the action is and are simply sanitiz
Tragedy and war crimes in Iraq
John Servais · Sat Apr 10, 2004
You will not learn the full truth about this week in Iraq for many years - if the US military has its way. Our troops are causing unspeakable horrors to the Iraqi people. You must read the foreign pre
A missile into a mosque
John Servais · Wed Apr 7, 2004
To watch CNN today is to ask “what mass killing of Iraqis in a mosque”. Same on FoxNews. Not mentioned directly and you have to look elsewhere for details. Much talk about ‘test of wills’ and US milit
10 killed is only the tip of the iceberg
John Servais · Mon Apr 5, 2004
When some of the 24 US soldiers wounded in Iraq over the weekend die from their wounds - they will not be counted as deaths in Iraq. Only those who actually die on the battlefield are counted.<

John Servais · Fri Apr 2, 2004

As scripted, a partial veto. Gov. Locke vetoed the ‘Top 2’ section of the primary election bill, SB6453. This gets the Republican and Democrat party bosses off the hook - a huge favor to t
No Locke on SB6453
John Servais · Wed Mar 31, 2004
Gov. Locke is not scheduled to act on the primary election bill today. This the 20th day since the legislature adjourned and supposedly the last day he can act on a bill. SB6453 is missing from his fu
For those who are in awe of the ‘experts’ in Olympia
John Servais · Tue Mar 30, 2004
For your morning entertainment. And for those who are in awe of the ‘experts’ in Olympia. Gov Locke vetoes three sections of a bill meant to streamline our bankruptcy laws. To wit:
They all know they violated the public trust
John Servais · Sun Mar 28, 2004
Before Wednesday, Gov. Locke will act on SB6453, the primary election bill. There has been no news on his deliberations these past two weeks. All legislators are very quiet. No press releases by the p
Let the parties use the caucuses
John Servais · Fri Mar 19, 2004
Gov. Locke has not acted on the primary election bill. No doubt he is wondering how his reputation will be hurt if he vetoes the ‘Top 2’ process. He will be known in the future as the guy who tried to
Locke is working _with_ the party machines
John Servais · Sun Mar 14, 2004
Today’s Bham Herald editorial is well meaning but hopelessly ignorant of the process in Olympia. Naive may be a better word to describe their editorial board. Gee, goes the editorial - the legislature
Delays are due to secret bargaining
John Servais · Sat Mar 13, 2004
Will Gov Locke veto the ‘Top 2’ primary process and allow the Montana process to become law? Probably, but not necessarily. He may sign the entire bill - getting himself off the hook with voters - and
Expect a partial veto
John Servais · Wed Mar 10, 2004

Lake Whatcom · Commenting Since Mar 22, 2021
I've been living in Bellingham since Feb 2011 and love it. I have spent 30 years doing Mac and Pc repairs in my biz. My degrees are in Economics and Political Science from UCF in Orlando, and part at FSU. In the beginning, I worked in my academic field for 3 years for the FL State Labor Dept while going to FSU but found it and the field, in the real world to be too bureaucratic for me; so I slowly switched to computer programming and repairs and been happy ever since. A few months after I moved here I found my place at Lake Whatcom and love the beautiful trees, mountains, lakes and the bay. What an incredible place to live! I thank the Creator everyday for being in this awesome place.
