 Moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue
Joseph L. Galloway via rialator, Thursday, Nov 20 2008, 7:41am
With two months still to go before his inauguration as the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama and his transition team are already getting off on the wrong foot, signaling that they have no intention of investigating anyone in the Bush administration for possible war crimes.

 Will an Obama Administration seek to restore justice?
John S. Hatch via krill, Monday, Nov 17 2008, 8:45am
Amidst the somewhat hysterical euphoria of the Obama win is the fact that he has some very sober decisions to make, and his choice of Chief of Staff (Rahm Emanuel has already had to apologise for remarks by his once-terrorist father) does not auger well. Why choose someone who has served in Israel’s brutal IDF and who is rabidly anti-Palestinian? Is this ‘Change’? Also disturbing is talk of retaining Secretary of Defense Robert Gates with all his Iran-Contra baggage. Or Madeleine Albright who insanely stated that the undisputed deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children (under the age of five) during the (ineffectual to Saddam) sanctions following Gulf War I were ‘worth it’. Or possibly appointing Paul Volker to head Treasury. Change? This sounds like Business As Usual.

Asia leads in prosecutions of corrupt leaders – USA take note!
barra, Wednesday, Nov 12 2008, 12:02am
Whatever happened to moral leadership in America – if it ever existed? Not a peep from Obama, the black marionette president elect, regarding actions against Cheney, who is without peer as the most culpable criminal of the 21st century – not forgetting the crimes of Bush and other senior members of the regime!

Balkan Wars and Western Propaganda
Edward S. Herman via rialator, Friday, Oct 31 2008, 8:40am
Marlise Simons, the New York Times' main reporter on the Milosevic trial and International Criminal Trial for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), has had a difficult year. Perhaps most painful was the disclosure that in 1999 the Kosovo Albanian KLA sent as many as 300 captive Serbs to Albania to be killed and their internal organs "harvested" for sale abroad; a matter barely mentioned in the New York Times (see below). I was sorely tempted to write to Marlise Simons and offer her my sympathies, "Marlise, if only the villains in this case were Serbs, what a fine front page article you could have had!"

How the Banksters are Making a Killing Off the Bailout
Pam Martens via fleet, Tuesday, Oct 21 2008, 9:26am
In 1897, when 8-year old Virginia O’Hanlon posed her Santa Claus query to the New York Sun, she received a heart-warming editorial response reassuring her that “He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist….” Today, we hand our 8 year olds a $13 trillion national debt while our Congress hands Wall Street banksters the national purse without so much as a hearing to determine the cause of the debt collapse. Worse still, the money is doled out to the very same individuals who leveraged their institutions to casino status.

Henry Paulson, too many ‘solutions’ NO results!
budgie, Saturday, Oct 11 2008, 3:30am
So far the only skill Henry Paulson and his fellow Banker, Wall St., elites have demonstrated is their ability to completely dominate the clueless government of the USA; a government so dependent on criminal free marketeers that it continues to rob the public on their demand!

We have all been trained to ‘internalise’ social problems; however, in the OVERWHELMING majority of cases it is our RULERS/LEADERS that are at FAULT! For those who missed it previously we quote the following: “the fact the government prefers to bailout the criminal bankers and not the people gives license to the people to DEFAULT ON ALL LOANS IN PROTEST OF A CORRUPT, CRIMINAL AND INCOMPETENT GOVERNMENT that has lined its own pockets at the expense of the people and the nation!”

Black Monday Galore: A Speculator's Paradise
Michel Chossudovsky via reed, Tuesday, Sep 30 2008, 10:05pm
"Black Mondays" are potentially the source of windfall profits. The revenues to be derived by financial institutions, which not only have foreknowledge and inside information but also the ability to manipulate the market are enormous.

Bringing it ALL home!
finn, Sunday, Sep 28 2008, 11:34pm
America and her allies are now reaping what they have sown. Would anyone but demented Americans imagine they would be immune from the consequences of their reckless actions? There was no avoiding the consequences of the drunken sailor spending of a clueless administration guided and controlled by the private interests that have pillaged, plundered and ruined not only the local economy but numerous foreign nations as well. From Kosovo, Central Asia to the resource wealth of Australia, the pigs gorged themselves like there was no tomorrow! And that is exactly the point – THERE IS ALWAYS A TOMORROW and NOBODY ‘gets out!’ (story and 1 image)

Former CEO of Goldman Sachs, Hank Paulson, is the hero of Wall Street’s hustlers and racketeers today -- he did it!

Banking and Wall St Racketeers EXPOSED!
finch, Tuesday, Sep 23 2008, 11:09pm
Al Capone stated at the time of his arrest that he was a small fry criminal, he referred to bankers, businessmen and government as the biggest criminals in the land. Capone learned from his experiences as a hoodlum and his SYMBIOTIC relationship with those 'respectable authorities' who actually ran crime in the USA – organised crime cannot exist without corrupt officials, dishonest bankers and unscrupulous businessmen.

Racist Australia finally grants visa to Snoop Dogg
budgie, Thursday, Sep 11 2008, 10:54pm
Gangster rapper, Mr S. Dogg, was elated after Australia finally approved his visa application to perform in the country. Much to the nation's shame, a previous application was refused by the former conservative, racist government led by, “I was raised with those values,” John Howard. Australia’s appalling record with dark skinned humanity has gained it a loathsome reputation internationally. The most recent example is the overt scapegoating/victimisation of the dark skinned Indian doctor, Mohamed Haneef. It remains to be seen how far the current PM, Kevin ‘useless eunuch’ Rudd, is willing to pursue CRIMINAL CHARGES in relation to the obvious collusion between the former PM’s office, Federal Police Chief, ‘have another drink,’ Mick Keelty and former Immigration Minister, Kevin Andrews. Former Attorney General Philip ‘anal contractionist’ Ruddock may also be implicated – it would be surprising if he isn’t! (story and 2 images)

How Tenet Betrayed the CIA on WMD in Iraq
Gareth Porter via rialator, Friday, Aug 8 2008, 10:32am
WASHINGTON, Aug 8 - Journalist Ron Suskind’s revelation that Saddam Hussein’s intelligence chief was a prewar intelligence source reporting to the British that Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction (WMD) adds yet another dimension to the systematic effort by then Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director George Tenet to quash any evidence -- no matter how credible -- that conflicted with the George W. Bush administration’s propaganda line that Saddam was actively pursuing a nuclear weapons programme. (story and 1 image)

Living in ‘Interesting Times’
finch, Thursday, Aug 7 2008, 2:26am
History unfolds in the present but is inextricably and dynamically intertwined with the ‘past.’ History is actually an interpretive/constructionist process in the present tense though it appears to relate to past events. The past does not exist; therefore history/everything surrenders itself to interpretation and ‘reality’ construction in the present; the only validity the past possess is that given it by the present!

The measure of a slave – a few simple tests
peptide, Monday, Aug 4 2008, 11:26am
This little exercise is similar to those little games that monthly magazines are known for; like test your fitness level by timing how fast you can eat a box of chocolates while watching TV! Get the picture? But I’m afraid these tests provide accurate results. For example, do you believe the government’s explanation of the 9/11 disaster? Yes! Well, I’m sorry to inform you that you’re not only a compliant slave but also a moron! The following furnishes irrefutable proof. (story and 2 comments and 1 image)

An Open Letter to the Chief Prosecutor of the ICC
David Swanson via rialator, Friday, Jul 18 2008, 9:33am
Dear Chief Prosecutor,
Congratulations on your request for an arrest warrant for the president of Sudan. When the rule of law cannot be justly enforced within a nation, it must be enforced internationally. In that regard, I would like to recommend that you seek an arrest warrant for the president of my nation, the United States of America. I have read your letter of February 9, 2006, in which you decline to seek prosecution of George W. Bush, and I believe new evidence compels another review.
