 Official 9/11 Report Defies Basic Physics posted by Jennifer Harper via wisp, 2010-02-24 19:43:24
A lingering technical question about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks still haunts some, and it has political implications: How did 200,000 tons of steel disintegrate and drop in 11 seconds? A thousand architects and engineers want to know, and are calling on Congress to order a new investigation into the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7 at the World Trade Center.

The True Face of Fascism posted by Edwin Black via gan, 2010-02-21 05:53:21
Hitler and his henchmen victimized an entire continent and exterminated millions in his quest for a so-called Master Race. But the concept of a white, blond-haired, blue-eyed master Nordic race didn't originate with Hitler. The idea was created in the United States, and cultivated in California, decades before Hitler came to power. California eugenicists played an important, although little-known, role in the American eugenics movement's campaign for ethnic cleansing. (full story)

 How Does a Corporation Speak? posted by William A Cohn via reed, 2010-02-18 18:04:24
A corporation speaks by clear-cutting old-growth forests, by dumping pollutants in our communities and denying care for our elders, by off-shoring to avoid paying taxes, and by outsourcing and eliminating jobs. This inanimate Frankenstein constructed by law now enjoys vast legal and constitutional rights which it wields against humans, animals and nature. (full story and 1 comments)

Goldman Sachs: it's not Greek to me! posted by Robert Scheer via quin, 2010-02-18 05:35:30
“What is this Goldman Sachs and why has it caused us so much grief?” is a question they must be asking in even the most remote of Greek villages, as they are throughout much of this economically troubled world. The Greek financial scandal in which Goldman Sachs stands accused of selling dubious derivatives that concealed enormous government debt has sent the Greek economy and European markets into a tailspin. But that’s just part of a made-in-the-USA banking hustle that has haunted folks at home and abroad. (full story)

Which Bank? The People's Bank! posted by Dale Wetzel via gan, 2010-02-17 07:21:37
We shouldn't forget that Oz once had a people's bank, The Common-wealth Bank of Australia. Former PM, Paul 'deregulation' Keating, killed it off and sold it to the private sector (Wall St) then instituted the most ODIOUS banking practice ever seen in Oz -- Bank FEES for doing their bloody job! Oz banks now have a license to steal so why bother working for a living! If ever an Aussie needed hanging its Keating -- he's worse than the three little shits Hawke, Howard and Rudd rolled into one [turd]! (full story)

New Balkans Wars on the Horizon posted by Dr. Pyotr Iskenderov via reed, 2010-02-12 04:05:05
The situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina will get strained as soon as Bosnian Serbs hold a referendum on their constitutional status. Its aim is to prevent leaders in Sarajevo, the US and EU from eliminating Republika Srpska. The outgoing Croatian President, Stjepan Mesic, promised that if the referendum takes place, the regular army of Croatia will enter the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina to cut off the 15-km Posavina corridor, which connects the western and the eastern parts of Republika Srpska in the area of Brcko, close to the Croatian border!

The Terror-Industrial Complex -- Criminal Nation, Terrorist State posted by Chris Hedges via fleet, 2010-02-08 16:52:49
The conviction of the Pakistani neuroscientist Aafia Siddiqui in New York last week of trying to kill American military officers and FBI agents illustrates that the greatest danger to our security does not come from al-Qaida but the thousands of shadowy mercenaries, kidnappers, killers and torturers our government employs around the globe.

Last Rites for the USA posted by Cindy Sheehan via reed, 2010-02-07 08:13:44
Many people mistakenly believe that corporations were given the same rights (not just privileges) as persons in this Supreme Court decision, but nothing could be farther from the truth - the reason my nation is such a dysfunctional system now is not because of a Supreme Court decision, nor a law passed by Congress, nor by a referendum of the people: it's because of a single statement, one sentence, spoken by a Supreme Court Chief Justice before the hearing even began.

The American Presidency, what presidency? posted by Sheila Stuff via fray, 2010-02-07 06:03:26
It boggles the mind reading this very accurate account of the completely ineffective role of the U.S. President today.
From George H Bush, Clinton to Obama the exact same status quo is in operation and the same private ruling interests are in control of the nation! However, the American people continue to argue the toss regarding Obama's total lack of credibility and influence in the REAL affairs of the nation. Instead of confronting the reality of a paper mache 'Hope and Change' President, we get distracting Obama blah blah! American democracy is dead, the Republic has been lost to private, vested interests for decades! (full story)
