 Obama welcomes Albania, Croatia to NATO
Robert Burns via rialator, Saturday, Apr 4 2009, 5:57am
Where will it end, Han? Do you see the dick in your face, NOW? You have been lied to, conned and screwed and still you do not understand! It may or may not be too late now, however, what is certain is one more NATO move and it's over, Yuri!
I hope you choke on Kosovo, 'comrades!' You failed to DECISIVELY stand your LEGAL ground and support your ally when you had the chance. Now it verges on impossible; Albania, Croatia, soon Macedonia, Montenegro then Georgia, do you doubt it?
'Just desserts' for abandoning a close ally and displaying your cowardice to the world. It would have been much simpler and cleaner then! Enjoy the following report -- I can hear the laughter from Strasbourg in Sydney! (story and 1 comment)

Terror as a Tool of Empire
Chris Floyd via krill, Thursday, Apr 2 2009, 10:34am
Here's a purely hypothetical scenario. Let's say you were a dedicated imperial militarist who believed that your country's security, prestige and financial interests could best be served by war and the ever-present threat of war. Let's say you had some really hot and juicy operations going on, endless deadly conflicts that were pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into your war machine and entrenching national policy even more deeply in the militarist philosophy – the machtpolitik – that you believe in.

Losing heart? Not on YOUR bloody life!
major mitchell, Saturday, Mar 28 2009, 12:41am
Whether it was news of our pathetic, pipsqueak PM, Kevin ‘suck harder’ Rudd, accepting ‘advice’ from a heinous war criminal, Henry ‘4 million carpet-bombed dead’ Kissinger or Obama’s latest speech framing IMPERIALIST war policies in smoother words but no less bloody consequences that made me stall, I do not know – old soldiers never flinch, they just get stoned! However, on this occasion it was pure rage that propelled me forward and sustained my sense of purpose and FIGHT, yes F-I-G-H-T, I was trained for the task – at birth! (story and 3 comments)

David Ruppe via peate, Friday, Mar 27 2009, 6:44am
In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba. Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities.

London bankers warned to dress down amid violence fears
Emma Alberici via talya, Tuesday, Mar 24 2009, 5:51am
The city of London is bracing for widespread disruption over the next week as protesters plan a wave of anti-capitalist demonstrations in the lead-up to the G20 summit of world leaders next week.
Police have warned workers in the financial district to dress down and not draw attention to themselves as protesters target bankers in what is feared will be violent clashes on the scale of the May Day anti-globalisation protests from 2000 and 2001. (story and 1 image)

I can add too!
angry citizen, Sunday, Mar 22 2009, 1:45am
This comment has been upgraded because it makes sense 'across the board' -- something that Executive elites have been unable to do for years! Anyone that has any assets whatsoever in the 'stock market' -- for the want of a more accurate term -- could be best described today as a fool's FOOL!
Angry citizen's comment puts the entire financial meltdown in contextual perspective -- see how THEY run! Use it like a hot knife when dealing with the 'butter' explanations of shysters and banksters. It certainly frames the article from Rolling Stone's, Matt Taibbi, in the comment section very nicely indeed -- a great read, Matt! Never forget the CURRENT REALITY and how we got here and WHO was responsible. Never again fall for the meaningless gibberish of 'experts' that reality BRANDS as thieves and liars -- simple! I'll leave you to the perfect deductions of an honest angry citizen! Ed. (story and 2 comments and 1 image)
