The CIA Beyond Redemption Should be Terminated posted by Sherwood Ross via quill, 2009-02-24 07:31:37
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has confirmed the worst fears of its creator President Harry Truman that it might degenerate into “an American Gestapo.” It has been just that for so long it is beyond redemption. It represents 60 years of failure and fascism utterly at odds with the spirit of a democracy and needs to be closed, permanently. (full story and 1 comments)

International Criminal Court Faces Big Test With Israel posted by Amitabh Pal via fleet, 2009-02-14 00:01:10
The International Criminal Court soon faces a big test—a test that could reveal whether it is truly an independent institution.
The Palestinian Authority has asked the court’s chief prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, to examine if Israel was guilty of war crimes during its recent Gaza operation. Moreno-Ocampo should take a look into the allegations, not the least to refute the assertion that the court is an instrument of the West. (full story and 1 comments)

 Three high profile fugitives, Bush, Blair and Howard posted by nano, 2009-02-03 20:20:32
As the world takes stock of the military and economic CARNAGE these men are responsible for it becomes ever more URGENT -- imperative in fact -- to place them in the dock of a war crimes tribunal and hold them accountable for their actions. We have no illusions, of course we are aware they are merely pawns but they CONSCIOUSLY engaged in the most heinous crimes committed this century and expedited the now FAILED strategies of various powers and interests – THESE MEN ARE ABLE TO LEAD US TO THE SHADOWY FIGURES that have for years PULLED THE STRINGS BEHIND THE SCENES. [Perhaps we have signed their death warrants!] (full story and 2 comments)

 Oz supermarket chains profiteering in economic crisis posted by Alan Jones via fleet, 2009-02-01 19:39:47
The following report is an indictment of the ineffective Rudd government not an expose’ of profiteering, monopolist supermarkets, whose track record of price hiking and unjustified mark-ups is well known.
Why have governments if they are unable to govern, we may well ask? The people can go without many luxury items but no one can go without food! STOP the RIPOFFS NOW!!!
INTERVENTION IS REQUIRED from our pathetic, compliant (to the corporations) politicians -- you reprehensible, vile, UNAUSTRALIAN, servile scum! (full story)

Take another squint, ‘merica! posted by budgie, 2009-01-24 08:18:35
A few choice expressions from the recent past; “cakewalk,” “mission accomplished,” ‘bouquets of flowers,” “we know Saddam has WMD because he just has,” “unknown knowns,” “global war,” “America does not torture,” “enhanced interrogation,” “Gitmo,” “military commissions,” “Patriot Act,” “Homeland Security,” “domestic surveillance” and “extended executive powers” etc. The result; over one million dead civilians, war costs that can’t be accurately calculated, a crippled economy and an international reputation in the gutter!

ICC, no jurisdiction over Israel/America! posted by barra, 2009-01-15 21:27:12
The International Criminal Court confirmed, after Palestine brought war crimes issues to notice, that it had no jurisdiction over Israel or America – how convenient! All doubts are removed as to how or why leading terrorist nations, Israel and America, are able to wantonly kill civilians and commit numerous atrocities with impunity! Perhaps Bin Laden ought to insist on a similar arrangement, it worked for Kosovar war criminals, so why not! We should ALL demand equal dispensation or exemption – the LAW is truly an ASS or should I say a convenient means of avoiding JUSTICE! (full story and 3 comments)

Demand accountability or suffer more Fraud posted by Frank Rich via rialator, 2009-01-12 18:31:05
Three days after the world learned that $50 billion may have disappeared in Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme, The Times led its front page of Dec. 14 with the revelation of another $50 billion rip-off. This time the vanished loot belonged to American taxpayers. That was our collective contribution to the $117 billion spent (as of mid-2008) on Iraq reconstruction — a sinkhole of corruption, cronyism, incompetence and outright theft that epitomized Bush management at home and abroad.

Western war criminals take refuge in denial posted by finch, 2009-01-11 07:42:43
In the dying years of the FAILED international conservative push, efforts to hide and disguise the many war and other crimes perpetrated by conservatives became impossible. Failed wars, civilian holocausts, $10 trillion debts and ruined states defy all attempts to re-present them as other than what they are – FIASCOS! (full story and 1 comments)

 Exposing God, the root of the Problem! posted by finch, 2009-01-06 23:22:46
Everything we know, including our knowledge of ‘God,’ NECESSARILY (must) refer back to the source of production of that knowledge, HUMANITY! That rather obvious fact should be self-evident, however, few are able to appreciate the clarity and simplicity of TRUTH – have you not yet noticed that everything we know of ‘God’ has been PRODUCED and encoded BY MAN? Furthermore, all man-made Gods are peculiar to and described by the idiosyncrasies of the cultures that created/produced them! (full story)
