Calling all citizens: Reinforcements needed to help save old growth oak trees in Berkeley threatened by University of California Police. Berkeley native american activist Zachary Running Wolf vs UC campus police chief and the University Board of Regents, determined to build a new athletic center on sacred ground.
Berkeley kid wants to know, “Am I on the watch list”? Big Brother gets a time out for putting 800,000 names on a suspected terrorist watch list. Scott Ritter and Seymour Hersh consider how family values will be affected if the neo-cons uncork the nuclear genie. Religious war mongers get worked over by the BetterBadNews panel: James King, Kurt Reinhardt, Gracie Coates, Lucas Buckman, Mel Gordon and Galen Corr.
BETTERBADNEWS panel taunt TV network comics JOHN STEWART, JAY LENO AND DAVID LETTERMAN for failure to mock an obvious and deserving target of public ridicule: The 9/11 Commission Report. Is late night television part of the cover up?
In This Episode: Professional politicians are profiled as professional tag team wrestlers pretending to be mortal enemies but not really. 2008 third party contenders threaten to reveal the sorry 9/11 Truth behind all the fakery.
Also: The BetterBadNews anchor speculates on a secret plan to install California Governor Arnold Schwazenegger in the White House following a false flag attack blamed on terrorists.
Finally: Ron Paul considers a third party ticket but who is going to be on top? Cynthia McKinney, Ralph Nader, Jesse Ventura, Mike Gravel or Ron Paul?
2008 THIRD PARTY Candidates Cynthia McKinney and Ralph Nader must be curious: Is Jesse Ventura re-entering politics or just hawking a book? Don’t Start the Revolution Without Me, is Ventura’s new book title but on the network blather shows he talks like a candidate pitching campaign themes. But is Jesse Ventura running for the Senate or the White House?
“I already beat Norm Coleman once”.
Watching Ventura threaten to throw John McCain out of the ring is funny but is Al Franken laughing? His Senate bid is kaput if Ventura runs for the White House with coattails long enough to help green Party favorite, Mike Cavlan, unseat Colemen.
If Ventura chooses to run for the Senate against Franken Coleman and Cavlan anything is possible. Ventura probably wants the White House but he’s going to have to convince Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich or Mike Gravel to run with him on an independent party ticket to get there. Minnesota politics as usual. The betterbadnews panel has a clue. Satire from Better bad news and politics.
In this 3 minute video the BetterBadNews panel examine FBI court records documenting phone calls made by airplane passengers killed on sept 11, 2001,
Also included is a clip of distinguished 9/11 research scholar, David Ray Griffin delivering a report on 9/11 contradictions to an international conference on 9/11 truth held at the European Parliament on February 26, 2008.

Reports of Barbara Olson’s alleged cell phone conversations with her husband Ted Olson were introduced by CNN reporters soon after the Pentagon was hit.
Berkeley icon, Wavy Gravy, surprised political pundits with his surprising endorsement of Barack Obama recently telling betterbadnews : “I’ve been turned”. In this four minute video clip Wavy Gravy negotiates a cooling off period between Code Pink and armed sheriffs deputies, persuading the Berkeley City Council and it’s police goons to, ” back off slowly and leave me alone”. The conflict began after Code Pink and local activists surrounded the Berkeley US Marine Recruiting Center denouncing the Marines as unwanted intruders.
But perhaps Wavy Gravy can be “re-turned”. Green party advocates hope Wavy will eventually dump Obama after hearing what leftist activists and scholars, Webster Tarplay and Kevin Barrett have to say about the idea Tarpley has introduced; that Obama may have been brainwashed by his handlers to concede the 2008 election to the neo-con candidate before all the ballots have been counted?
