 Israel and America -- Brazen Criminal States
Prof. Lawrence Davidson via reed, Tuesday, Sep 21 2010, 9:04pm
Neither American nor Israeli behavior is legal under international law. It is all a violation of Article 54 of Protocol I, Part IV, of the Geneva Conventions (1977). The law reads, “It is prohibited to attack, destroy, remove or render useless objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population, such as …drinking water installations and supplies…whatever the motive whether in order to starve out the civilian population, to cause them to move away, or for any other motive.” (story and 1 image)

 China The Superpower of the 21st Century
Michael T. Klare via quin, Monday, Sep 20 2010, 10:04pm
If you want to know which way the global wind is blowing (or the sun shining or the coal burning), watch China. That’s the news for our energy future and for the future of great-power politics on planet Earth. Washington is already watching -- with anxiety.

Bradley Manning -- Accused of Telling the Truth
Ann Wright via quill, Friday, Sep 17 2010, 8:50pm
Bradley Manning now faces decades in prison for informing Americans of the Truth about our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He stands accused of 'leaking' the video, “Collateral Murder” to WikiLeaks -- it clearly depicts two Reuters journalists being murdered by a U.S. helicopter strike! Manning is also under investigation for 'leaking' the “Afghan War Diary” documents that were also published by WikiLeaks, in co-operation with the New York Times, the UK Guardian and the German magazine Der Spiegel.

How Corporations Own the US Congress
Shamus Cooke via reed, Wednesday, Sep 15 2010, 7:02am
With the November elections quickly approaching, the majority of Americans will be thinking one thing: "Who cares?” This apathy isn't due to ignorance, as some accuse. Rather, working people's disinterest in the two party system implies intelligence: millions of people understand that both the Democrats and Republicans will not represent their interests in Congress.

Orwell That Ends Well
Randall Amster via fleet, Wednesday, Sep 8 2010, 6:58am
In just the past week, a friend lost his cellphone, and another was robbed. One fell asleep in the bathtub, and another visited her old elementary school. A number had interesting fare for dinner. Some liked the weather, others lamented it. One notable presence in particular diligently posted her whereabouts at all times. Pretty typical stuff actually, and almost none of it interesting in the least. (story and 1 comment)

'Perception Management' and Information Warfare
via fleet, Friday, Aug 27 2010, 7:58pm
The following video documentary exposes the mass media as an orchestrated, managed, propaganda machine -- in other words it has become a thoroughly corrupted medium serving a tiny minority that clearly does not have the best interests of society at heart.
Interviews with highly respected academics and analysts are featured in the doco; they include such luminaries as Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn and Michael Parenti.
The video is a balanced, in depth historical view of the forces that shaped the mass media into what it is today -- it is highly recommended viewing.

 WikiLeaks: CIA as "exporter of terrorism"
Ellen Nakashima via fleet, Wednesday, Aug 25 2010, 8:46pm
The United States has long been an exporter of terrorism, according to a secret CIA analysis released Wednesday by the Web site WikiLeaks. And if that phenomenon were to become a widely held perception, the analysis said, it could damage relations with foreign allies and dampen their willingness to cooperate in "extrajudicial" activities, such as the rendition and interrogation of terrorism suspects.

Let Them Eat Wedding Cake
Paul Craig Roberts via reed, Tuesday, Aug 3 2010, 8:37pm
According to news reports, Chelsea Clinton’s wedding to investment banker Mark Mezvinsky on July 31 is costing papa Bill $3,000,000. According to the London Daily Mail, the total price tag will be about $5,000,000. The additional $2,000,000 apparently is being laid off on US Taxpayers as Secret Service costs for protecting former president Clinton and foreign heads of state, such as the presidents of France and Italy and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who are among the 500 invited guests along with Barbara Streisand, Steven Spielberg, Oprah Winfrey, Ted Turner, and Clinton friend and donor Denise Rich, wife of the Clinton-pardoned felon.

WikiLeaks publishes damning Afghan War documents
Nick Davies, David Leigh via stan, Sunday, Jul 25 2010, 8:51pm
The Mass Media were once the guard dogs of Democracy, Freedom and Justice now mainstream journos are the servile, lapdogs of the Oligarchs -- history will record it thus.
The criminal, mass murdering wars the USA and its allies engage in must be exposed if we are to have a chance at a stable, sustainable and peaceful world. This (Independent) site supports our brothers and sisters in the fight for TRUE Freedom, Liberty and JUSTICE and we congratulate fellow Aussie Julian Assange for his skillful and fearless efforts -- We are ONE (story and 1 image)

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.
