 Strauss-Kahn Resigns as Chief of IMF
staff report via fleet, Wednesday, May 18 2011, 11:51pm
In a not unexpected statement, 'family man' and former chief of the IMF, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, resigned as head of the Fund, citing his concern for family and the need to focus all his energies on defending charges of attempted rape made against him by a hotel housemaid (and 'friends').

Practical Lessons from the Strauss-Kahn ‘Assassination’
quill, Tuesday, May 17 2011, 11:02pm
This analysis will concern itself less with the popular ‘guilt or innocence debate’ than it will with practical lessons to be learnt by various States, groups, bodies, institutions and capable individuals around the globe, but particularly in Europe. (story and 2 comments)

US Supreme Court Approves Warrantless Police Searches on ‘Suspicion’
gan, Monday, May 16 2011, 9:47pm
The torch-bearer of ‘Liberty and Democracy’ in the world -- or so we are led to believe -- has yesterday legally incinerated more civil liberties, freedoms and public safeguards by allowing police to breakdown your door and conduct a warrantless search based on the “suspicion” that (imaginary) evidence is being destroyed – welcome to America, Police State!

 Doing an 'Assange' on IMF chief, Strauss-Kahn
dasha, Sunday, May 15 2011, 10:30pm
Consider all aspects of the following political story and its credulity begins to evaporate under the light of reason. The attempted 'rape' story of a 'hotel chamber maid' by the IMF chief, is as absurd as it is extraordinarily stupid.
Strauss-Kahn was about to challenge US asset, Nicolas Sarkozy, for the French presidency and as we all know the overtly criminal US stops at nothing to protect its Imperial interests. The tragedy is the people will fall for this puerile 'fit.' It's all but over for Dominique who obviously wasn't fully complying with the gang's plans. Our suggestion is spill it all, Dominique, the TRUTH of the IMF and international debt SLAVERY. If you must go down in a classic mafia power play, then go down fighting, take the entire corrupt 'house' down with you. (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

The Overtly Corrupt ICC Continues to Ignore NATO War Crimes
quill, Friday, May 13 2011, 9:08pm
In a frantic effort to avoid legal responsibility for war crimes, in particular failed attempts on Muammar Gaddafi’s life, which resulted in numerous civilian casualties including the deaths of three young children, US/NATO forces have enlisted the compliant ICC to hurriedly issue arrest warrants for Gaddafi and some of his senior officials. This they hope would legitimise their unmandated assassination attempts on Gaddafi and their colonial invasion. However, NATO’s war crimes would pre-date any warrant hurriedly issued by the exceedingly compliant ICC, the most PARTIAL and farcical legal institution in Europe today.

TEPCO Execs finally admit nuclear meltdown occurred at Fukushima
Julian Ryall via gan, Friday, May 13 2011, 12:12am
But that admission is not the half of it, as anyone who has a smattering of experience with Japanese culture knows. Officials remain 'concerned' that the highly poisonous radioactive material may have burned through the containment vessel and entered the environment. [You can back it in! Again, we implore all our associates in Japan to return home immediately.]
The people you least trust in Japan are criminally corrupt Corporate Executives and their political puppets. The Yakuza are gentlemen in comparison! (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Security fears for US Navy Seal team
staff report via penguin, Thursday, May 12 2011, 11:21am
Deceased American comedian, Bill Hicks, once joked about a US president with integrity and how the real ruling elite would take him alone into a viewing room and show him repeat footage of the Kennedy assassination 'from a completely new angle' to drive the message home that US presidents either do what they're told or end up dead meat.

Osama Diaries as credible as Hitler Diaries
Brad Norington via quill, Thursday, May 12 2011, 8:58am
..so it must be true! No corpse to autopsy or other credible evidence but a 'hand written' journal we are expected to believe. However, there's that little matter of a forgery, as the purported author is dead and very little, if any, original Bin Laden handwriting is available to conduct a definitive comparison/confirmation -- though reams may magically appear at some stage, probably written by the same person that drafted the 'original' samples!
The simplistic sell just keeps coming from the White House, the CIA and Pentagon -- we should never forget that these three entities are known worldwide for their 'integrity' and 'honesty!'.. (story and 1 image)

Failing Empire and Media Distraction
stylus, Wednesday, May 11 2011, 11:37pm
The Bin Laden media circus – no credible evidence of claims whatsoever -- continues to take space in the Corporate (CFR) media. This desperate, diversionary, tissue-thin tactic presents no surprise to analysts who are extremely familiar with mass media trickery, ‘perception management' as it is known today, and the effect mis-disinformation has on society at large! A flagrant war crime committed by NATO – the brazen, FAILED assassination attempt on Muammar Gaddafi, which resulted in the CRIMINAL MURDERS of three of his very young grandchildren and his youngest son, has been removed from public consciousness by the absurd, unproven claims relating to Hollywood Osama Bin Laden.

Orwell Wrote the Script
styx, Tuesday, May 10 2011, 10:20pm
In Orwell’s 1984 prophecy, Big Brother government rules over unquestioning people, incapable of independent thought, who are constantly spied on.
In 1949 there was no Internet, Facebook, Twitter, GPS, etc. Big Brother’s spying was done through cameras and microphones in public areas, as in England today, and via television equipped with surveillance devices in homes. The majority succumbed to thought manipulation -- 'perception management' -- and followed government presentations of 'reality!'

Without a shred of credible evidence, bungling White House criminal puppets continue to retract press release after press release of misinformation relating to the murder of Bin Laden in Pakistan. But when did American society begin to accept stories without question from known lying, criminal governments?

The Ever Changing White House Bin Laden Story

Never in the modern history of the world has a ‘democratic’ government so clearly compromised ITSELF as criminally dishonest and ineptly deceptive as the Obama White House of today – and that is saying something in view of the known lack of integrity of the previous Cheney/Bush regime!

Babylon the Not so Great
quill, Thursday, May 5 2011, 11:06pm
In the absence of a shred of evidence supporting the claim that American manufactured ‘terrorist’ Hollywood Osama Bin Laden has been murdered, the mindless American population chants U-S-A, U-S-A, U-S-A! How desperate and forlorn is this genitally groped, foreclosed, unemployed, whipped, corporate abused population? A tragic spectacle indeed in view of the FACT that things aren't going well at all -- to hell in a hand basket, in fact! (story and 1 image)
