NATO/US Appointed Puppet Libyan Leader Vows to Use Force on Breakaway Regions posted by Chris Stephen via weaver, 2012-03-07 07:55:10
After US/NATO backed rebel forces desecrated WWII graves in Libya, demonstrating to the WORLD that NATO appointed puppet Libyan leader, Islamist, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, has no control over the country whatsoever, today's 'damage control announcement' that force would be used to prevent regions declaring autonomy is simply a prelude to a new DICTATORSHIP but with NATO and the US behind it! At least Gaddafi ruled a unified nation in peace -- now watch and learn the true nature of NATO and US interventions and the implementation of proxy dictatorships in Libya and in other conquered States and territories.

China: Rise, Fall and Re-Emergence as a Global Power posted by Prof. James Petras via reed, 2012-03-07 06:29:07
The study of world power has been blighted by Eurocentric historians who have distorted and ignored the dominant role China played in the world economy between 1100 and 1800. John Hobson’s[1] brilliant historical survey of the world economy during this period provides an abundance of empirical data making the case for China ’s economic and technological superiority over Western civilization for the better part of a millennium prior to its conquest and decline in the 19th century.

It Pays to be 'ANONYMOUS' posted by staff report via styx, 2012-03-06 10:45:27
American hacker, Hector Xavier Monsegur, reputedly of LulzSec, whose NAME/identity has been plastered in every rag and digital journal around the globe -- goes down with other members of his group after FBI pressured him for the identities of other members -- offers of a lighter sentence were also used as inducements! Let it be a lesson to all the crewz; n-e-v-e-r reveal real identities to anyone; ANONYMITY is not just a label it is an IMPERATIVE, unless of course you wish to end up like Assange or the hapless LulzSec few.

Libyan Rebels Desecrate WWII Allied Graves Libya: The Immorality of Corporate Plunder posted by judd, 2012-03-04 21:16:14
The CRIMINAL obscenity that is corporate and banker controlled NATO and the US and its maniacal pursuit of corporate PROFIT and plunder has resulted in the world's most ghastly, horrendous crimes and injustices today; the Iraq travesty of over one million innocent civilians slaughtered speaks for itself; Obama's flagrantly criminal 'precision' Drone warfare campaign, which regularly slaughters innocent children and civilians continues unabated; but the Libyan obscenity that NATO and the US unleashed on the once FREE people of Libya has set a new standard in absolute degradation, horror and inhumanity.

Afghans Turn On Reviled Occupiers posted by Eric S. Margolis via gan, 2012-03-03 20:52:23
Shock, incomprehension, fury. Americans are feeling these raw emotions as news keeps coming in of more attacks by Afghan government soldiers and officials on US and NATO troops. Six US troops were killed last week as a result of protests across Afghanistan following the burning of the Holy Quran by incredibly dim-witted [par for the course] American soldiers. “Aren’t they supposed to be our allies? We are over there to save them! What outrageous ingratitude,” ask angry, confused American occupiers. (full story)

Syria: A Conspiracy Revealed posted by Felicity Arbuthnot via stele, 2012-03-02 07:12:11
It was political analyst Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya, in November 2006, who wrote in detail of US plans for the Middle East.

“The term ‘New Middle East’, was introduced to the world in June 2006, in Tel Aviv,†by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (who was credited by the Western media for coining the term) in replacement of the older and more imposing term, the “Greater Middle East”, he wrote. (full story)

Hillary Clinton's LIES fail to convince anyone 'Friends of Syria conference' SHAM Exposed posted by harry H, 2012-03-01 06:08:18
Need the thinking world doubt it? The West's (proxy) intervention in Syria is now thoroughly exposed and no-one is buying the 'friends of Syria' SHAM conference. Amazingly, cowardly dog China and circus bear Russia remain steadfast in their opposition to any external interference in the affairs of sovereign Syria. However, the corporate ruled west desires another failed state in Syria along Libyan lines in order to advance their strategic ambitions in the Middle East. Once unified and debt-free, Libya is now completely 'Balkanised'/fragmented into dozens of powerless and arguing tribal fiefdoms, courtesy of NATO and the US. Internal divisions and bickering between tribal factions allows for easier corruption and 'management' as various warlords seek assistance from major powers. Meanwhile parasitic western banks, with reconstruction loans, and plundering transnational oil companies are having a field day in once debt-free, unified Libya -- now see if YOU can work out the true gambit of US and NATO criminal interventions around the globe!

Assange announcing release of hacked email trove Hackers Assist Beleaguered WikiLeaks posted by Cassandra Vinograd via no-one, 2012-02-27 10:13:52
Hacker group Anonymous has delivered a trove of five million emails hacked from the analysis/intelligence firm Stratfor to WikiLeaks. Assange was in dire need of a haul like this as his site has been floundering since the Iraq/diplomatic cable release. Hopefully Assange will learn which side his bread is buttered on and give credit where it's due; not necessarily by name but by recognition of his 'anonymous' sources. (full story)
