 Criminal Kosovo: America’s Gift to Europe posted by Diana Johnstone via stele, 2011-01-24 08:33:38
U.S. media have given more attention to hearsay allegations of Julian Assange’s sexual encounters with two talkative Swedish women than to an official report accusing Kosovo prime minister Hashim Thaci of running a criminal enterprise which, among almost every other crime in the book, has murdered prisoners in order to sell their vital organs on the world market.

America's Next Failure: the Police State posted by Prof John Kozy via stan, 2011-01-07 07:06:16
Every police force in the nation has cold (unsolved) cases. The War on Drugs has been ineffective for more than forty years. No one knows where a vast number of illegal immigrants even are. The CIA has been unable to locate Osama bin Laden after more than ten years of searching. Your local police cannot protect you from burglaries, drive by shootings, rapes, domestic abuse, or murder—even with the help of most ordinary citizens. The situation is so bad that numerous legislatures have legalized the carrying of loaded weapons so that ordinary people can protect themselves which is a complete abdication of the usual view that people should not take the law into their own hands. So what in the world would make anyone believe that policing can protect us from terrorists? (full story)

 Al Gore's Role in the Goldman Sachs Carbon Con posted by Richard Pollock via baz, 2011-01-02 19:42:42
Major Corporate Polluters must be penalised in order to stem the flow of poisons into the environment and as we are aware Corporations PATHOLOGICALLY avoid additional costs. WE must therefore exercise constant VIGILANCE in order to prevent polluters avoiding or shifting responsibility to the public.
The Corporate sector makes astronomical PROFITS that are easily able to absorb the additional cost of cleaner energy production. The Corporations have for far too long avoided safety and low pollution protocols, which decease their profits. It is time that their ill gotten gains were utilised for compensation, reparation and clean energy. Whether or not those additional costs result in low profits is not an issue, as it is the planet and life on earth at stake.
The Corporations must not be allowed to AVOID RESPONSIBILITY and SHIFT the BLAME and COSTS of THEIR polluting onto others. Goldman Sachs (and friends) would have the public pay for their mistakes while continuing to extract profits. The following article reveals the sordid machinations behind the plan to create enormous profits from Carbon Trading. (full story and 1 comments)

 Australian Federal Police supplied ‘hit lists’ to special forces in Afghanistan posted by Stephen C. Webster via gan, 2010-12-28 19:59:39
[A revealing article on the expansion of police powers around the globe, which any healthy society would welcome but for questions of corruption and bias.
The Interpol listed (since the 90's) crime boss, Hashim Thaci, Prime Minister of the illegally excised Serbian province of Kosovo has enjoyed the protection of the USA and its allies since they installed him as puppet PM of the illegally appropriated territory, which also houses the largest US military base in continental Europe. It seems that KNOWN murderers, drug traffickers, arms dealers, white slavers and human organ dealers are only enemies if they do not work for the US/NATO Organised Crime Syndicate -- if the shoe fits, wear it!]
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) are banned from contributing to military operations, yet they helped to compile "hit lists" of drug traffickers in the Afghan capital of Kabul, a leaked US diplomatic cable reportedly revealed. (full story and 1 comments)

Some Americans Lament the Rapid Decline of their Nation posted by Michael Brenner via reed, 2010-12-16 18:53:53
The casual way that Americans are shredding their liberties is breathtaking. Rights that have been revered as the nation's spiritual heirloom for 225 years are cast aside like so many disposable keepsakes. Only a people confused by runaway emotions, and forgetful of their identity, can act with such feckless abandon. (full story)

U.S. seeks to build WikiLeaks conspiracy case posted by JoAnne Allen and Todd Eastham via gan, 2010-12-15 22:35:40
[The world's leading civilian killing nation will stop at nothing to destroy the man that revealed the sordid Truth of American war crimes and the heinous LIES in relation to American wars of plunder in the 21st Century.
How many INNOCENT civilians have we killed in Drone strikes today, America -- notwithstanding the millions previously murdered in the illegal invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan? Drone warfare makes a mockery of every Court and International Convention against war crimes and other crimes against humanity. Perhaps it may be time to RESTORE JUSTICE and LAW and RESIST American war crimes rather than support the persecution of an man that America would see silenced. It is time for every person of conscience to RESIST the USA on EVERY FRONT! Ed.] (full story and 1 comments)
