  Why do we ignore the civilians killed in American wars? posted by John Tirman via reed, 2012-03-22 07:32:59
The short answer is, 'because almost the entire American population is criminally complicit in the mass murdering, plundering pursuits of the Wall St and Corporatist controlled Executive AND Congress. However, read on and learn what an educated American with a conscience has to say about the criminal travesty of MILLIONS of INNOCENT civilian deaths resulting directly from Banking and Corporate instigated wars for PROFIT!'

It should come as no surprise that a military organisation that exonerates murderers of women and children in Iraq -- Haditha massacre -- LIES and attempts to deceive the public with mindless and FEEBLE stories of recent massacres of women and children in Afghanistan!

This latest tragic fatality (of many since this lethal, now superceded, Taser model was introduced) should once and for all explode the MYTH that Tasers are a non-lethal weapon! (full story and 2 comments)

 Puppet Clowns, Cameron and Obama -- "making progress!" [LOL!] posted by baz, 2012-03-15 02:14:19
How many years has the USA and its puppet allies been "making progress" in Afghanistan and avoiding international war crimes courts? Take a wild guess then look at the language of the following report especially the oft repeated but UNDEFINED "mission" word. History dictates that America's 'mission' is criminal invasion, occupation, assassination, regime change, plunder and the mass murder of civilians; any dreamboat that thinks otherwise, after a DECADE of lost wars and recorded heinous crimes, is SORELY DELUDED!

 Uganda Agenda: The Kony Ruse posted by Bruce A. Dixon via watson, 2012-03-15 01:13:37
Thanks to relentless promotion by Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Bloomberg News, ABC, CBS, Oprah, celebrities and politicians of both corporate parties, along with right wing church groups and foundations, the Kony 2012 video has “gone viral.” Viewed on YouTube more than a hundred million times by now, it paints a vivid and simple picture, clear enough, its narrator says, for a five year old to understand [the propaganda con and 'perception management' strategy].

Goldman Sachs Insider: Culture of Self-interest, Misrepresentation and Corruption posted by Greg Smith via reed, 2012-03-14 09:22:00
TODAY is my last day at Goldman Sachs. After almost 12 years at the firm — first as a summer intern while at Stanford, then in New York for 10 years, and now in London — I believe I have worked here long enough to understand the trajectory of its culture, its people and its identity. And I can honestly say that the environment now is as toxic and destructive as I have ever seen it. (full story)

  UN Torture Investigator Concludes Bradley Manning NOT Tortured posted by sam, 2012-03-13 09:49:04
Talk about GUTLESS! Read the linked pdf report from UN torture investigator regarding the treatment of Bradley Manning while incarcerated by the CRIMINAL civilian killing, US military and be sickened by his COWARDICE.
Manning was clearly subjected to persistent and inhuman psychological torture in a failed bid to break his spirit and coerce him into implicating glamour boy, Julian Assange of WikiLeaks. The good news is Bradley didn't break but was weakened over 18 months to the extent that he is being misrepresented as mentally unstable and not responsible for his actions when his chat logs -- published by "Wired" -- reveal very clearly that Manning's CONSCIENCE and moral convictions forced him to expose the criminal activity of the US military! So he wasn't 'technically' T-O-R-T-U-R-E-D, Mr Mendez UN reprehensible coward? (full story)

 Red Meat Kills You Good posted by staff report via stele, 2012-03-13 02:19:40
Two rashers of bacon a day raises the odds of dying from heart disease and cancer by 20 per cent, a study has claimed. While red meat has been blamed for health problems before, the large-scale American study is one of the first to link it to a higher risk of dying. The data, from more than 120,000 men and women who were tracked for almost 30 years, was analysed by the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston. (full story)

 Afghanistan's My Lai/Haditha: An Atrocity to End the War posted by Robert Dreyfuss via gan, 2012-03-12 21:01:33
Following routine bombings of wedding parties, hundreds killed in unchecked “night raids” by US Special Forces, the murders by the scandalous “kill team” in 2010, and, this year, the digitally recorded urination onto dead Afghans by Americans in uniform—not to mention the Koran burnings last month—it’s clear that there’s no hope of success for the “mission;” whatever that is?

 Stratfor: Blood On Their Hands posted by Khadija Sharife via sal, 2012-03-11 08:21:24
Even if we were to place epistemological and ethical questions aside, certain Stratfor's analysts are turning out to be rather twisted creatures. While some turn party tricks for intelligence, except in AIDS-infested Africa, others, such as Fred Burton – a counter-terrorism and security expert, alleged to frequently service US intelligence, are a tad aggressive. One of Fred's gems include: "The owner is a peacenik. He needs his head dunked in a full toilet bowl at Gitmo." So much for niceties. (full story)

Stratfor emails reveal Regime Change and NATO/US takeover Agenda for Syria posted by Finian Cunningham via keir, 2012-03-08 06:17:47
The Western governments' and mainstream media’s narrative of a one-sided humanitarian crisis in Syria is rapidly unwinding to reveal a self-serving deception to justify a re-run of Libya-style NATO conquest. In reality, it is the Western powers and their Israeli and Arab henchmen who are fuelling a humanitarian crisis and creating the conditions for all-out war. All of which, it should be said, constitutes criminality comparable to Nazi Germany’s wars of aggression. (full story)

It's About Social Control NOT Security posted by trish, 2012-03-07 20:11:18
American politicians constantly warn of the al-Qaeda bogey man and the threat posed to the USA by these mysterious media enemies. US citizens have been stripped of all their 'inalienable' rights by recent indefinite detention and extra-judical assassintion 'laws.' Totalitarian social control measures are now characteristic in the USA but few seem to notice and even less are willing to fight for their rights. (full story)
