  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)

Watch me pull an Obama popularity boost out of my Bin Laden posted by staff report via bullwinkle, 2011-05-04 10:12:43
Obama's approval rating surged 11 points after Bin Laden raid and extra-judicial killing. However, no real proof of US claims has been furnished to date; the lack of REAL evidence is becoming problematic! Nevertheless, the popularity result proves that the mindless American masses believe whatever their media tells them!
Good job Rupert and other media moguls on the CFR . (full story)

NOT Gaddafi, NATO committing War Crimes! posted by staff report, 2011-05-01 01:21:41
Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi survived a NATO air strike on a Tripoli house that killed his youngest son and three grandchildren, a government spokesman said on Sunday. Libyan officials took journalists to the house, which had been hit by at least three missiles. The roof had completely caved in leaving mangled rods of reinforcing steel hanging down among splintered chunks of concrete. (full story and 1 comments)

The Libyan War, American Power and the Decline of the Petrodollar System posted by Peter Dale Scott via nano, 2011-04-29 09:15:27
The present NATO campaign against Gaddafi in Libya has given rise to great confusion, both among those waging this ineffective campaign, and among those observing it. Many whose opinions I normally respect see this as a necessary war against a villain – though some choose to see Gaddafi as the villain, and others point to Obama. (full story)

Fed Chairman Bernanke holds theatrical press conference posted by Zachary Karabell via huang, 2011-04-27 23:25:12
Yesterday, Ben Bernanke departed from the silent, opaque tradition of the Federal Reserve and held a press conference. The event attracted considerable attention, for its novelty as much as for its substance. But those hoping that Bernanke would do his best imitation of Willy Wonka and reveal hidden facets of humor, complexity and charisma were, to say the least, disappointed. (full story and 3 comments)

 WikiLeaks: Pakistani Intel ISI Considered Terrorists by US posted by staff report via gan, 2011-04-26 10:44:58
'Anyone linked to Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate should be treated like Al-Qaeda or Taliban,' Guantanamo interrogators advised. Makes you wonder about former test cricketer Imran Khan's sudden and very public opposition to US Drone strikes in Pakistan -- where have you been hiding over the past few criminal Drone strike years, Imran, and who (USA) supports you now?

UN report: Sri Lanka committed war crimes posted by M Krishnamoorthy via stele, 2011-04-26 09:58:44
Years after the events and release of numerous videos depicting Sinhalese troops summarily executing Tamils, the UN finally confirms the KNOWN but adds that it is powerless to act on this report! Interesting stance in view of all the American (and Israeli) criminal interventions over the past decade the UN approved -- the 'humanitarian' Libyan Oil grab rages as I write.
Since these war crimes were committed, Sri Lanka has politically and strategically befriended Russia and China even though US Drones and satellite information assisted the Sri Lankan military in eliminating LTTE rebels. (full story)

 Corporatists Conducting Illegal Surveillance posted by Yukari Iwatani Kane via Kismo, 2011-04-26 00:26:59
Once again Corporatists have been busted conducting illegal surveillance on citizens. Steve Jobs of Apple is squealing that his company doesn't track and record users' locations, he points the finger squarely at data and communications juggernaut, GOOGLE; however, there's that 'little matter' of undeclared keystroke recording on iPhones, Steve, you reprehensible lying, Corporatist, pig! Corporatists are ALL tarred with the same brush and will suffer the same fate for turning on the people.
We should never forget that LIAR Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, formed an unholy surveillance partnership with the CIA after stating publicly that Google wouldn't abuse data information -- I mean the SPYING, MURDERING, CIA, Schmidt, for Christ's sake! (full story and 1 comments)
