  Gaza, murder to a timetable! posted by finn, 2009-01-19 17:07:54
Wanton destruction, wholesale vandalism, indiscriminate murder and ALL ON CUE; that is Gaza today! Israel (America) has called a unilateral ceasefire in Gaza; scorched earth and indiscriminate killing interfere with nice ‘clean’ inauguration ceremonies in Washington! If anyone required emphatic proof of a CONCERTED arrangement, rigged INTERNATIONAL COURTS and a dummy UN you now have it in Gaza – any Englishman would tell you that a good game of cricket is punctuated with tea and lunch breaks, dear chap!

 Gaza: 'Apocalypse' posted by cleaves, 2009-01-18 22:22:30
Australian aid worker, Tim Costello, has described the scene and conditions in Gaza since the Israeli onslaught as “Apocalyptic!” Tim Costello is apt to use biblical terminology as he is a practicing Christian. He is also known to Aussies as the older brother of former Treasurer to the Howard government, Peter Costello. I mention his background and creds in order to highlight that this man, who has seen many disasters, including the Asian tsunami and Burma cyclone, is not given to exaggeration.

 Iraqis say farewell to George W. Bush posted by Gao Shan, Fu Yiming via quin, 2009-01-18 08:52:37
BAGHDAD, Jan. 18 (Xinhua) -- "You are a liar and a war criminal! Farewell!" blurted Muhammad al-Salami, a professor in Baghdad University, infuriated by the TV footage of the outgoing U.S. President George W. Bush who was giving a farewell speech after eight years in office. (full story)

 Focus on the source of the problem posted by nano, 2009-01-18 01:33:56
Sometimes I wonder whether I should extol the virtues of NOT drinking tap water – I haven’t touched the stuff in decades. What is glaringly obvious to me seems mysterious or esoteric to others – get a grip! The CURE in Gaza and the Middle East in general, is to hold AMERICAN WAR CRIMINALS AND SUPPORTERS OF ISRAEL’S WARS (murder sprees) TO ACCOUNT! I am of course referring to the outgoing Bush administration, which has supported, militarily and politically, all recent conflicts in the Middle East! Israel wouldn’t dare make an aggressive move in the region without American approval AND SUPPORT! Now take a good, long, cool drink of filtered water and wake up to yourselves. (full story)

 Silver Lining: musings from the hacker elite! posted by Kismo, 2009-01-16 20:49:29
Every ‘dark cloud’ has a silver lining and Obama is no exception. The first thing to learn about victory is NEVER LOSE HEART! So what, if Obama is proving to be the greatest traitor and betrayer since Benedict Arnold; the American Revolution survived Arnold, gained momentum and forged onward to FINAL VICTORY. How much easier to overcome a slick, TRANSPARENT, no-conscience, carpetbagger like Obama? Too bloody easy, mate! (full story)

ICC, no jurisdiction over Israel/America! posted by barra, 2009-01-15 21:27:12
The International Criminal Court confirmed, after Palestine brought war crimes issues to notice, that it had no jurisdiction over Israel or America – how convenient! All doubts are removed as to how or why leading terrorist nations, Israel and America, are able to wantonly kill civilians and commit numerous atrocities with impunity! Perhaps Bin Laden ought to insist on a similar arrangement, it worked for Kosovar war criminals, so why not! We should ALL demand equal dispensation or exemption – the LAW is truly an ASS or should I say a convenient means of avoiding JUSTICE! (full story and 3 comments)

 Obama Nation Upholds US Terror posted by Mickey Z. via budgie, 2009-01-15 19:16:43
Let’s start with two facts:
1. The United States of America is a rogue state built on and maintained by terror
2. Barack Obama will do absolutely nothing to change or challenge the realities behind fact #1 (full story)

 Growing disillusionment forces Obama to retry internet tricks posted by Kingfisher, 2009-01-15 02:47:34
The mainstream has always been SLOW to adapt to the latest technologies; an amusing and highly exploitable fact/situation. Antiquated media modes of communication and moguls too old to change have no answer to the millions of independent digital voices that speak in one voice whenever the need arises.

 A Perfect Definition of 'Terrorism' posted by Glenn Greenwald via rialator, 2009-01-14 20:07:16
This war on the people of Gaza isn't really about rockets. Nor is it about "restoring Israel's deterrence," as the Israeli press might have you believe. Far more revealing are the words of Moshe Yaalon, then the Israeli Defense Forces chief of staff, in 2002: "The Palestinians must be made to understand in the deepest recesses of their consciousness that they are a defeated people."

 An argument for Secession posted by dingo, 2009-01-13 20:23:26
The entire world groaned when WAR CRIMINAL Bush insisted, in his last press conference, that he had served his country well and had done a “good job” as president – W-H-A-T!? Furthermore, Cheney supported Bush’s statements with his own divorced from reality, twisted version of history. It’s time for the handcuffs people! The credibility of the ENTIRE nation is at stake – the reality oriented WORLD is fast running out of patience! (full story and 1 comments)

The Afghan Scam posted by Ann Jones via quill, 2009-01-12 18:48:01
The first of 20,000 to 30,000 additional U.S. troops are scheduled to arrive in Afghanistan next month to re-win the war George W. Bush neglected to finish in his eagerness to start another one. However, "winning" the military campaign against the Taliban is the lesser half of the story. (full story)

Demand accountability or suffer more Fraud posted by Frank Rich via rialator, 2009-01-12 18:31:05
Three days after the world learned that $50 billion may have disappeared in Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme, The Times led its front page of Dec. 14 with the revelation of another $50 billion rip-off. This time the vanished loot belonged to American taxpayers. That was our collective contribution to the $117 billion spent (as of mid-2008) on Iraq reconstruction — a sinkhole of corruption, cronyism, incompetence and outright theft that epitomized Bush management at home and abroad.

Western war criminals take refuge in denial posted by finch, 2009-01-11 07:42:43
In the dying years of the FAILED international conservative push, efforts to hide and disguise the many war and other crimes perpetrated by conservatives became impossible. Failed wars, civilian holocausts, $10 trillion debts and ruined states defy all attempts to re-present them as other than what they are – FIASCOS! (full story and 1 comments)
