The American push began in the Balkans and will end in Washington. Today it becomes abundantly clear that nothing will change until America’s wars are fought on American soil.

Former Top CIA Spy: How US Intelligence Became Big Business
Jeremy Scahill via fleet, Friday, Jul 9 2010, 7:45am
Few who have seen the dramatic privatization of US intelligence operations from the inside ever speak about the role private contractors play in covert operations--certainly not in public. In late June, however, the CIA's former top counterterrorism official, Robert Grenier, participated in a rare public discussion on issues ranging from the incredible extent to which the US has relied on contractors to fill sensitive national security positions; to battlefield contractors in Afghanistan; to allegations of contractor involvement in "direct action" (lethal) operations, as well as commenting on Blackwater owner Erik Prince's reported involvement in a secret CIA assassination program. The former spy also criticized what he called attempts by the US military to "overstep their bounds" by conducting intelligence operations that traditionally have fallen under the purview of the CIA.

Inside The US/NATO Military Industrial Media Empire
Peter Phillips via stan, Sunday, Jul 4 2010, 7:51pm
We face what appears to be a military industrial media empire so powerful and complex that truth is mostly absent or reported in disconnected segments with little historical context. A case in point: The London Times reported on June 5, 2010, that American troops are now operating in 75 countries. Has President Obama secretly sanctioned a huge increase in the number of US Special Forces carrying out search-and-destroy missions against al-Qaeda around the world? If so, this increase is far in excess of special-forces operations under the Bush administration and reflects how aggressively Obama is pursuing al-Qaeda behind his public rhetoric of global engagement and diplomacy. Somehow this information didn’t make it into the US media.

The Secret State's Mad Scheme to Control the Internet
Tom Burghardt via Kismo, Sunday, Jun 27 2010, 9:13pm
Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz once famously wrote that "war is the continuation of politics by other means." A century later, radical French philosopher Michel Foucault turned Clausewitz on his head and declared that "politics is the continuation of war by other means." In our topsy-turvy world where truth and lies coexist equally and sociopathic business elites reign supreme, it would hardly be a stretch to theorize that cyber war is the continuation of parapolitical crime by other means.

From the Niger Delta to the off-shore Oil rig explosion in Western Australia, then to the most catastrophic act of vandalism and environmental destruction in history, the Gulf of Mexico failure of the US government to REGULATE the polluting and murdering CORPORATISTS – what’s a few million dead civilians in Oil rich Iraq and a DEAD ecology in the Gulf compared to the avarice of the bottom liners?

The ‘most Dangerous Man in the World’
quin, Monday, Jun 21 2010, 9:11am
According to the Pentagon, the most ‘dangerous man in the world’ today is an Australian by the name of Julian Assange! That’s quite a claim from an American Institution that has recently voided its credibility by releasing a commercial evaluation of the natural resource wealth of invaded Afghanistan – makes you wonder what the Corporate sector is doing if the traditional military focuses on commerce and wealth.

 Wikileaks Soldier Reveals "360 Rotational Fire" Orders to Kill Civilians
Ralph Lopez via gan, Friday, Jun 18 2010, 8:53pm
We can thank the arrogant, inept yanks for making plain the REAL state of political ‘play’ today; the USA is now, and has been for some decades, completely controlled by Banks, Corporations and Global Transnationals – as are most other western ‘democracies.’ With that FACT now firmly established by a PENTAGON release of a mineral wealth commercial assessment for invaded Afghanistan, it is now impossible to view American invasive warfare as anything other than what it is, criminal appropriation, mass murder and PLUNDER. A direct link to the culpable has also been established; a bold line of responsibility connects today's wars with the Boardrooms of the largest Corporations of the World. [Dragging reprehensible, murdering, psychopathic EXECUTIVES to the gallows, after due legal process, would be a MATTER OF COURSE -- inevitable!] Ed. (story and 1 attached file)
