John F Kennedy John F Kennedy speech April 27, 1961 posted by fleet, 2008-07-31 01:10:20
A President with integrity invokes the same sentiments as his predecessor Abe Lincoln, who stated, “I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crises. The great point is to bring them the real facts."

Kennedy refers to the same sentiment in his speech to the Newspaper Publishers Association: “No President should fear public scrutiny of his program. From that scrutiny comes understanding; and from that understanding comes support or opposition. And both are necessary... I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed.” (full story and 1 comments)

1st Baron Rothschild, prototypical Banker and Zionist The Response! posted by peptide, 2008-07-29 11:37:26
Bob Dylan once penned a lyric that applies today more than ever, “you don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.” Ninety nine percent of Americans today do not require any qualifications to determine that criminals in the White House, Pentagon, CIA, NSA and FBI have in concert subverted the sacred principles upon which the United States was founded and allowed Bankers and CEOs to rob the nation/people blind – the economy is in ruins and no amount of bullshit from ‘experts’ can reverse the inevitable collapse.

Former Commissioner Moroney; who, me? Abe Saffron and the dance of the flaming arseholes posted by ernie, 2008-07-27 02:27:50
The title refers to a ‘stage act’ at one of Saffron’s clubs, The Venus Room, a venue that catered for Sydney’s working class Joes. The undisputed king of Sydney’s Entertainment Underworld not only catered for the knights of the realm, ‘sophisticates’ and closeted power brokers but to the common people; yes, Abe was a true Aussie egalitarian criminal who provided entertainment for everyone!

American breed Real life incident saturated in Symbolism posted by luis, 2008-07-26 00:56:38
An ‘American breed' fighting dog that attacked an 11 year-old Brazilian boy received the shock of its now very short life. The pit bull, a breed known for its ‘lack of intelligence’ and ‘propensity to attack the innocent,’ was repelled by a counter attack from the boy who lunged at the dog and fastened his teeth onto its neck. The boy lost a tooth fending off the ‘unprovoked’ attack from the vicious, mindless American breed. (full story)

The Road to [Economic] Perdition: Paulson's Scatterbrain Capitalism posted by Mike Whitney via reed, 2008-07-25 09:33:45
Something has gone terribly wrong with the economy, but no one wants to say what it is. This is more than just a typical downturn in the demand-cycle or a temporary "rough patch". In fact, it's not a recession at all; it is a meltdown of the financial system. And it's obvious. The "deep pocketed" Federal Reserve is currently providing hundreds of billions of dollars through its auction facilities to the most craven speculators on the planet, the investment banks. These very same banks have no ability to pay that money back. Show me their revenues; show me their assets; show me their capital cushion which is calculated mainly in terms of "Level 3 assets" and which allow the banks to assign their own value to the bad paper that's overflowing from their vaults. Have you ever heard of anything more ridiculous? One blogger called Level 3 assets "mark to fantasy". He's right, too. It's all smoke and mirrors. So why are we letting crooks decide what their assets are worth? (full story)

Tupolev bombers to 'refuel' in Cuba Serbian government grovels and acquiesces to West posted by zoran, 2008-07-24 10:17:10
Kosovo, stolen by terrorists and thieves; Albanian Kosovar war criminals acquitted while Serbs continue to be persecuted by the Hague; Montenegro to accept millions in development ‘aid’ from Italy and the West in exchange for Kosovo recognition. Compliant new Serbian government agrees to return recalled Ambassadors to EU States. Is it possible for Serbia to suffer further humiliation, shame and injury? Have Serbs finally learnt to eat shit and cower like whimpering dogs? Is SERBIA, as a sovereign nation, completely lost? (full story)

Intellectual elites defecting in droves posted by cleaves, 2008-07-22 21:48:58
CRIMINAL and evil cabals that have stolen government, our democracies and plunged the world into conflict and war are losing their intellectual support base at speed. It is not a matter of defecting to the ‘other side;’ it is a matter of WITHDRAWING SUPPORT FROM CRIMINAL GOVERNMENTS! Vile governments that spy on their own populations, legalise TORTURE, subvert legal process, illegally detain citizens and engage in all manner of criminal activities, including invasive warfare and mass murder, remind us of the most oppressive and despicable totalitarian regimes of the 20th century.

Radovan Karadzic as he looks today Serbian compliant dogs HAND OVER Karadzic posted by dragan, 2008-07-21 23:21:13
Like all proud sovereign nations we catch and kill our own if necessary; we certainly DO NOT hand them over to a court that releases known Albanian and Croatian war criminals and PERSECUTES SERBS! The track record of the Hague speaks for itself; even former special prosecutor Carla Del Ponte has exposed the obvious BIAS of the ICC against Serbs! (full story and 1 comments)

Counter Intelligence Training posted by yarra, 2008-07-21 10:26:22
Sometimes it pays to inform your opponent directly rather than leading him by the nose or allowing him to believe he actually thought of something rather than act on the very subtle cues you placed in his brain. Great idea, why didn’t I think of that? Doh! (full story)

Serbia: eat shit and learn to like it! posted by branko, 2008-07-20 23:31:29
As Belgrade considers returning ambassadors to nations that recognised the illegal secession of Kosovo, Montenegro considers recognition! Recognition by Montenegro would be the last straw for the Serbian people and nation; Serbia would be destined for oblivion, which has been the American/NATO plan since the illegal bombings of 1999.

Fraud and slave Obama falls victim to propaganda posted by Eric Margolis via rialator, 2008-07-20 21:45:44
Barack Obama wants to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq and send them to Afghanistan, which he calls the real front on the "war on terror." He also has repeated threats to attack Pakistan "if necessary." One understands Obama's need to sound macho. Rival John McCain has been beating his chest, proclaiming, "I know how to win wars." Polls show Americans trust McCain three to one over Obama as a war leader. Unfortunately, recent U.S. presidents seem to require small military conflicts to prove their political virility.

Learn from U.S. Failures posted by Kingfisher, 2008-07-19 22:47:37
The entire world has a great opportunity to learn from the devastating failures of the USA. America’s major failures include (the lack of) government accountability, disregarding LAW and international convention, economic MISMANAGEMENT and of course DESTRUCTIVE FOREIGN POLICY! The perpetrators and others responsible are well known; rounding them up for trial would be a simple matter. (full story and 2 comments)

Greatest opportunity since War of Independence posted by major mitchell, 2008-07-18 23:36:53
The founding fathers shared the fear that commercial or other self-serving interests would one day hijack their new democratic Republic. [Current circumstances in the U.S. prove these fears were not unfounded]. Provisions were encoded in the Constitution and Bill of Rights to safeguard the fledgling democracy and ensure it remained free of commercially destructive, self-serving interests. The right of citizens to bear arms allowed for a ready militia or citizen’s army that could march on the Capital at short notice if the need arose. The RIGHT to bear arms was NOT designed for personal defence it was designed for NATIONAL DEFENCE AGAINST AN INTERNAL ENEMY! (full story and 1 comments)
