ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Pittsburgh's G20 Summit protesters were met by an angry crowd of POLICE! As want of any authoritarian state, police used TEAR GAS on the "unruly" crowd. They even tried out their brand new "crowd control" SONIC WEAPON! Crooks and Liars explains at 60 Minutes: The Pentagon's Ray Gun. See these videos Tear gas/sonic used on G20 Pittsburgh protesters and Military uses Sonic Weapon and Tear Gas on Protestors at g20 Pittsburgh. And no teabaggers in sight! Were the protestors anarchists? Or CIA plants? We'll know in about five years or so when the real videos surface. Meanwhile, in the staid studios of Sunday Bobbleheads the WH HumVee Limo carries Bush-era holdover and former spook ROBERT GATES to This Snufagopolis and State of the King, dropping off HILARY CLINTON at Face the Bob on the way. Then BILL CLINTON tells Meet the David how it really is, followed by troglodytes LINDSAY GRAHAM and JON KYL, both excellent brick targets. Graham then grabs the tail of an elephant and makes his way on to Face the Bob because he loves the Clintons so much. DIFI gets the Dem Hall Pass to appear on Fake News Sunday (and everyday). Of course be sure to spend some time instead with our BTV Alerts for this week with RALPH NADER and MICHAEL MOORE plus interesting reports from Max Keiser, AntiWar Radio with Salon Blogger GLENN GREENWALD and Ring of Fire's interviews with MAX BLUMENTHAL and CHRIS SCHECTER on the sad state of the GOP plus David Swanson about how the Constitution has been almost completely ignored for the last 8 years. Then get on the BTV ActionAlert to help move the JUSTICE Act! With Sam Seder and Marc Maron not on the tubes of the internets anymore we now welcome left-coaster lefty PETER B. COLLINS to Brick TeeVee! Be sure to listen to Part Two with Dave Berman, author of the book Be The Media. Check out previous PBC shows on their podcast and drop some sofa coinage his way if you can! The Brick TeeVee crew took in their final Tribe home game played in near constant rain and won an autographed Kerry Wood jersey! Then Wood came in for the ninth inning, gave up two runs and blew the save! But in the bottom of the ninth Jhonny Peralta drove in Luis Valbuena for the game winner, sending the rain-soaked Grady-Sizemore-diving-catch-Bobblehead-clutching fans home happy! Best of luck to all the ex-Tribesmen going to the MLB Playoffs!

BRICK TEEVEE ACTION!


PASS JUSTICE ACT It's Time To Roll Back The So-Called Patriot Act! A group of Senate Democrats led by Russ Feingold (WI) and Dick Durbin (IL) have proposed S. 1686, the Judicious Use of Surveillance Tools in Counter-terrorism Efforts (JUSTICE) Act [text of bill], a bill that would introduce stronger safeguards and higher standards of judicial oversight for surveillance activity. It aims to reform the most abusive characteristics of the PATRIOT Act and would also roll back a controversial provision of the FISA Amendment Act that granted telecom companies retroactive immunity for their participation in the Bush administration's extralegal warrantless surveillance program. Senator Feingold says that the goal of the act is to ensure that surveillance and intelligence-gathering activities are properly empowered while guaranteeing that rights are respected and investigative privileges are not misused. The proposal is broadly endorsed by privacy advocates and civil liberties groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. But in order for it to pass, WE THE PEOPLE must speak out to demand it. The one click form below will send your personal message to all your government representatives selected below, with the subject "Pass the Justice Act." At the same time you can send your personal comments only as a letter to the editor of your nearest local daily newspaper if you like. CLICK HERE NOW!

Dear readers,
We have recovered the data for military fatalities for both the Iraq (OIF) and Afghanistan (OEF) sites. We still have a ways to go until both sites return to full functionality, but with a little luck everything should be back to normal soon. I want to personally thank all of you who have donated and encourage others who find this site beneficial to make a modest contribution to iCasualties to help defray the cost of necessary server upgrades and daily operations. I also owe a special thanks to Mr. Ellis and Mr. Stasz for their assistance in collecting data. - Michael White, iCasualties.org DONATE NOW VIA PAYPAL
