The [Obvious] New State Solution
Chris Hedges via gan, Tuesday, Nov 17 2009, 6:07pm
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 Forgotten Bird Of Paradise
John Pilger via stan, Monday, Nov 16 2009, 4:44pm
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
Declan McCullagh via krill, Monday, Nov 16 2009, 6:13am
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
Mike Whitney via ryall, Monday, Nov 16 2009, 3:34am
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) (story and 1 image)

Copenhagen Climate deal predictably Doomed
krill, Sunday, Nov 15 2009, 4:01pm
APEC leaders meeting in Singapore -- the hanging capital of the region -- have clearly indicated that any chance of a realistic climate deal in Copenhagen is doomed, didn’t we know it! (story and 1 comment)

 Demented America, more absurd by the day!
harley, Saturday, Nov 14 2009, 4:11am
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?

Permanent occupation in Asia! DESPERATE American delusion
finch, Friday, Nov 13 2009, 7:09pm
Imperial, corporate ruled, ‘shit-on-the-end-of-a-stick,’ America, “vows permanent presence” in Asia! Interesting announcement from puppet-in-chief Obaa’ma today; however, the world’s largest regional group, ASIANS, just may have a ‘minor’ influence in determining THEIR OWN DESTINIES – you mindless, American morons!

Swine Flu - Exposed!
utube via fleet, Thursday, Nov 12 2009, 5:41pm
In question, after viewing these highly informative videos, is the INTEGRITY of a highly qualified research Physician and Nun vs the 'integrity' of Corporatist BIG PHARMA; arrive at your own conclusions!
However, in keeping with the original intent behind the Swine Flu conspiracy, we do urge mindless morons that believe in the 'integrity' of the White House and its allies to quickly get inoculated with Baxter's vaccines -- good riddance!
