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’ posted by quill, 2011-05-17 23:02:56
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. (full story and 2 comments)

US Supreme Court Approves Warrantless Police Searches on ‘Suspicion’ posted by gan, 2011-05-16 21:47:42
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 posted by dasha, 2011-05-15 22:30:26
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. (full story and 1 comments)

The Overtly Corrupt ICC Continues to Ignore NATO War Crimes posted by quill, 2011-05-13 21:08:55
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. (full story)

 TEPCO Execs finally admit nuclear meltdown occurred at Fukushima posted by Julian Ryall via gan, 2011-05-13 00:12:40
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! (full story and 1 comments)

 Security fears for US Navy Seal team posted by staff report via penguin, 2011-05-12 11:21:05
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 posted by Brad Norington via quill, 2011-05-12 08:58:39
..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!'.. (full story)

Failing Empire and Media Distraction posted by stylus, 2011-05-11 23:37:34
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 posted by styx, 2011-05-10 22:20:20
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!' (full story)
