  Be Our Guest, Julian! posted by Raffi Khatchadourian via Kismo, 2010-06-11 10:38:10
The house on Grettisgata Street, in Reykjavik, is a century old, small and white, situated just a few streets from the North Atlantic. The shifting northerly winds can suddenly bring ice and snow to the city, even in springtime, and when they do a certain kind of silence sets in. This was the case on the morning of March 30th, when a tall Australian man named Julian Paul Assange, with gray eyes and a mop of silver-white hair, arrived to rent the place. Assange was dressed in a gray full-body snowsuit, and he had with him a small entourage. “We are journalists,” he told the owner of the house. Eyjafjallajökull had recently begun erupting, and he said, “We’re here to write about the volcano.” (full story and 6 comments)

All Lies posted by Mike Whitney via stele, 2010-06-08 22:29:55
Israel has become Myanmar on the Jordan. Every new act of violence deepens the paranoia, the resentment, the isolation. The killing of 9 peace activists aboard the Mavi Marmara was celebrated in Tel Aviv--another blood victory against the 'terrorists', another triumph against those who would harm Israel. Heads of state around the world have condemned the butchery, but Israelis have shrugged off the criticism. They think that support for the activists is anti-Semitism. They think that food and medicine are weapons that will be used by Hamas against Israel. This is madness, but madness has consequences. Nine people are dead. (full story)

Some Big Lies of Science posted by Denis G. Rancourt via reed, 2010-06-07 07:03:19
“The majority of politicians, on the evidence available to us, are interested not in truth but in power and in the maintenance of that power. To maintain that power it is essential that people remain in ignorance, that they live in ignorance of the truth, even the truth of their own lives. What surrounds us therefore is a vast tapestry of lies, upon which we feed.” – Harold Pinter, Nobel Lecture (Literature), 2005 (full story)

Irish ship sails for Gaza in defiance of Criminal Blockade posted by Stephen C. Webster via ryall, 2010-06-01 21:59:01
In DEFIANCE of U.S. supported Israeli crimes on land and sea, the IRISH ship MV Rachel Corrie continues to sail for Gaza with relief aid. The WORLD, now intolerant of the appalling crimes committed against humanity by ISRAEL/AMERICA, two ROGUE nations that mistakenly believe they are somehow ‘special’ and above the law, watches with keen interest! We offer, from Australia, our whole hearted support for the brave crew and passengers of this ‘little’ IRISH vessel, which continues to fly the ‘flag’ of FREEDOM, JUSTICE AND HUMANITY for us ALL. You little bewdy!

U.S. Cyber Command: trailing world by a decade! posted by Rick Rozoff via Kismo, 2010-05-27 10:27:42
Interesting article but America is 10 years too late! A 10 year gap in the digital 'world' CANNOT be closed.
The leading 'nation' in digital warfare is unquestionably, Russia; however, many groups equal and in some areas eclipse Russia's awesome expertise/strength.
The hard reality is this doodles, YOU ARE GOING DOWN, as sure as the setting sun! Almost every commercial corporate (server) network has been compromised; military systems offer more challenges but by no means offer unassailable resistance. They are compromised soon after hardening and re-hardening -- such is the nature of this war, doodles. But give it your best shot, you lame, retarded, backward, fuck's.
Elite hackers and exceptional individuals do not truck with nations that slaughter millions of innocent civilians, they mobilse against them. Do your best with the fifth rate morons you are able to obtain via standard means.
As for us -- We are Legion (International) we are ONE. (full story)

 Obama's Drones, indiscriminate killing and War Crimes posted by Brian Cloughley via reed, 2010-05-23 20:49:11
Regardless of the view one takes of Drone warfare it remains a heinous INDISCRIMINATE and CRIMINAL killing method. An in-character 'weapon' of the PROFIT-ONLY-DRIVEN U.S. Corporate ruled military.
A case for TREASON (elitist unrepresentative government) and War Crimes (indiscriminate killing of civilians) against every leader that participates in America's illegal wars goes begging DAILY! Legal advocates advise that such cases would have extremely high chances of success. How much longer will the oppressed people of THE WORLD tolerate overt, BRAZEN, CRIMINAL GOVERNMENT and MINORITY CORPORATE RULE at their huge expense? (full story and 1 comments)

What's in a Word? posted by Pierre Tristam via quill, 2010-05-11 07:03:51
The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press just released a survey testing reactions to political rhetoric—whether people react positively or negatively to words like “progressive” or “socialism” or phrases like “states’ rights” or “civil liberties.” The results were not surprising in some regards. Say the phrases “civil rights,” “civil liberties” and “states’ rights,” and between 87 percent and 77 percent of people respond positively. Even the word “progressive,” which the right-wing machinery on Fox and friends is doing its best to turn into a slander, gets a 68 percent positive response, including 56 percent of Republicans.

 The Appalling Incompetence of Rudd and Conroy posted by Kismo, 2010-05-04 08:51:54
Rudd’s communications minister Stephen Conroy was forced to admit, in Parliament, that the $24 (wasted) million, ISP filter plan could easily and LEGALLY be circumvented. Conroy admitted that circumvention techniques – VPN and Proxy server methods -- had been demonstrated to him personally at Enex Testlab in Melbourne. Conroy confirmed that no legal measures would be applied to ISPs to prohibit the use of the above circumvention methods – so what’s the point of the expensive (now failed) filter plan I hear you say? Well, ask the most policy failed, financially wasteful PM we’ve ever had, Kevin ‘hair dryer’ Rudd. (full story)
