Just got back from an anarchist anti-war conference in LA. There's a lot going on right now, but first and foremost in my mind is the highly suspicious death of Paul Wellstone.
Political junkies knows Wellstone was one of the biggest liberals still left in the Democratic Party. He recently voted against war with Iraq, just as he did in 1991. Control of the Senate is hotly contested this year, with Wellstone's seat one of about eight very close races which will decide the balance of power. Wellstone had been trailing, but was just pulling ahead when he suddenly and mysteriously died in a plane crash. The timing of this-- just before the election AND just as Wellstone was pulling ahead-- cannot help but raise eyebrows. There is no doubt this improves the Republicans' chances of regaining control of the Senate.
The plane Wellstone was in had never had any previous problems, and the flight was totally uneventful until suddenly everything went wrong. The cause of the crash is unknown. Significantly, an article in today's "Grey Lady" (New York Times) DOESN'T EVEN MENTION the "black box" (flight recorder) aboard the plane, which could shed major light on what happened.
I strongly suspect this was a political assassination ordered by the White House. When future historians compile the list of Bush's crimes, it is likely the murder of Paul Wellstone will be on it.
JFK, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr., RFK, and now Paul Wellstone-- government by assassination continues in AmeriKKKa.
