 You can’t have your slave and whip him too! posted by birdie, 2009-11-23 19:01:00
All attempts by puppet governments to implement carbon trading (ETS) are doomed to failure for a very simple reason; their ‘solution' is the problem! Allow me to clarify – every man and his dog is aware that Criminal Corporatists are responsible for the collapse of the global economy and that laissez-faire Capitalism is the ideological cause of all our current woes. YET the imbeciles and CRIMINALS that perpetrated this global economic horror desire to ‘trade’ -- MAKE MONEY -- from pollution via Carbon Trading! The solution is the problem, do you get it now?

Second Wave of Financial Tsunami likely to HIT in 2010 posted by Matthias Chang via reed, 2009-11-22 17:07:48
"The policy-makers of these countries faced with the total collapse of the international financial architecture have concluded that the solution, the only solution is quantitative easing (i.e. massive injection of liquidity) to salvage the “too big to fail” banks and (re)inflate their depressed economies. This is best reflected in Bernanke’s candid remark that, “the US government has a technology, called the printing press (or today, its electronic equivalent), that allows it to produce as many US dollars as it wishes at essentially no cost”.
This is the crux of the problem!" (full story)

The [Obvious] New State Solution posted by Chris Hedges via gan, 2009-11-17 18:07:10
The collapse of the Palestinian Authority, the result of Israel’s 42-year refusal to implement a two-state solution, leaves the Palestinians no option but to unilaterally declare an independent state. Israel acted unilaterally when it announced independence in 1948. It is the Palestinians’ turn. It worked in Kosovo. It worked in Georgia. And it will work in Palestine. There are 192 member states in the United Nations and as many as 150 would recognize the state of Palestine, creating a diplomatic nightmare for Israel and its lonely ally the United States. Israel will face worldwide censure if it attempts to crush the independent state by force and very likely be subjected to the kind of divestment campaigns and boycotts that brought down the apartheid government of South Africa.

The Blue Buffoons of Oz posted by dasha, 2009-11-17 16:51:17
Oz police are on their own when it comes to gross incompetence, cowardice and the inability to use appropriate force. The latest episode highlights the FACT!
Confronting a man attempting self-harm today, our (genius) police opted to take the harm initiative themselves and shoot the man instead – the 35yo man is now in CRITICAL condition in intensive care – BRILLIANT, you fuckin’ MORONS! Never forget, police incompetence starts at the TOP with the (Labor) Minister and the Commissioner. [Update: The man died shortly after being admitted to hospital. Ed] (full story)

The Forgotten Bird Of Paradise posted by John Pilger via stan, 2009-11-16 16:44:36
When General Suharto, the West’s man, seized power in Indonesia in the mid-1960s, he offered “a gleam of light in Asia”, rejoiced Time magazine. That he had killed up to a million [mostly ethnic Chinese] 'communists' was of no account in the acquisition of what Richard Nixon called “the richest hoard of natural resources, the greatest prize in South-east Asia”.

  U.S. Justice Dept. Demands Independent News Site's User Information posted by Declan McCullagh via krill, 2009-11-16 06:13:26
It is not widely known that the Cleaves site was developed from the Indymedia (IMC) model. The current CMS software package in use by the Cleaves team is a product of Indymedia Ireland. We acknowledge that our existence (and continuing presence) would not have been possible but for the assistance of the IMC and as a show of solidarity we take this opportunity to throw our support behind our persecuted comrades in the Independent Media.

 The Audacity of Failure posted by Mike Whitney via ryall, 2009-11-16 03:34:49
Barack Obama is on his way to becoming a one-term president. According to Politico:
"President Barack Obama plans to announce in next year’s State of the Union address that he wants to focus extensively on cutting the federal deficit in 2010 – and will downplay other new domestic spending beyond jobs programs, according to top aides involved in the planning.
The president’s plan, which the officials said was under discussion before this month’s Democratic election setbacks, represents both a practical and a political calculation by this White House." (www.politico.com) (full story)

Demented America, more absurd by the day! posted by harley, 2009-11-14 04:11:32
Desperate for any diversionary tactic, the White House PR machine has opted to hold the trial of alleged 9/11 “mastermind,” Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, in New York! However, the problem for American ‘justice’ (ROFL) is the widespread knowledge of a ‘confession’ obtained under torture – Sheikh Mohammed was subjected to 183 separate instances of ‘waterboarding’ by the State -- and as any first year Law student would inform you, any case against the Sheikh would have been severely compromised as a result. But in the lobotomised land of cowboys, a minor technicality like a confession obtained under torture is not a problem -- the White House has been flouting every civilised Law in the world since the Balkan intervention – how many civilians have we killed this month, Uncle Sam?
