Explanation: I have found it useful to keep a running list in Word of threads that strike me as especially interesting or important. Then when I want to refer to them in another thread, I can copy and paste easily. It also helps me remember what happened when. I also bookmark many other threads under dozens of topics, but this somewhat quirky and certainly incomplete Word list is my primary record of the month's happenings.
I am giving it to you in case you might find it useful. It could be improved by arranging it differently, grouping threads as to subject or even just integrating my own threads - given as a separate list at the end - into the primary list of threads by other people. But after some thought i decided that if I waited for time to do all that, I would not post it at all.
The order is chronological, except that my own threads are in a separate list at the end rather than being integrated in the primary list at the beginning. The overall list is very long, well over a dozen pages in Word. I'll also post it (in a reply to this opening post) in plain text format so that the full URLs are available.
I collected this list, quirky and incomplete as it is, with comments and all, for MY OWN USE. I've decided to share it with you AS IS, in case you find it of use. Please feel free to add your own threads that I missed or to do the rearranging that I didn't have time to do. And let me know if you found this list at all useful.

Sibel Edmonds: Blogger on the right track! So what then is the "right track"? Evidently the American Turkish Council, AIPAC, the Usual Neocon Suspects (Feith/Perle/Wolfowitz/Libby) and specific high-ranking individuals including former Turkish ambassadors Eric Edelman and Marc Grossman are deeply involved in global arms smuggling, drug-dealing, money-laundering and black market nuclear sales to terrorists. Individuals involved in this crime nexus were instrumental in the outing of Valerie Plame in an effort to sabotage the work of CIA front Brewster Jennings - which was seen as increasingly threatening to them.

Ledeen, Ghorbanifar, and the strategy of tensionThe early sections of the article describe how the Reagan Administration first invented the war on terror as an excuse for maintaining power and secrecy even as the Cold War was winding down. Michael Ledeen and his associates were at the heart of this shift -- providing the theoretical basis for seeing global terrorism as a menace equivalent to the Soviet Union in its glory days and slamming the State Department and CIA for not going along with their claims.

GUN IS SMOKING - 2004 Ohio Irrefutable Evidence of Vote Miscount “The National Election Data Archive (NEDA) is the first mathematical team to release a valid scientific analysis of the precinct-level 2004 Ohio presidential exit poll data. NEDA's analysis provides virtually irrefutable evidence of vote miscount.”
NOTE: A knowledgable friend told me that the person who posted this analysis has presented other “smoking guns” over this subject before that failed to hold up. My take: this thread is interesting but should be taken with caution and a call for confirmation by others. It may well be that the exit poll data is NOT the place to go to prove the fraud.
