  U.S. Justice Dept. Demands Independent News Site's User Information posted by Declan McCullagh via krill, 2009-11-16 06:13:26
It is not widely known that the Cleaves site was developed from the Indymedia (IMC) model. The current CMS software package in use by the Cleaves team is a product of Indymedia Ireland. We acknowledge that our existence (and continuing presence) would not have been possible but for the assistance of the IMC and as a show of solidarity we take this opportunity to throw our support behind our persecuted comrades in the Independent Media.

 The Audacity of Failure posted by Mike Whitney via ryall, 2009-11-16 03:34:49
Barack Obama is on his way to becoming a one-term president. According to Politico:
"President Barack Obama plans to announce in next year’s State of the Union address that he wants to focus extensively on cutting the federal deficit in 2010 – and will downplay other new domestic spending beyond jobs programs, according to top aides involved in the planning.
The president’s plan, which the officials said was under discussion before this month’s Democratic election setbacks, represents both a practical and a political calculation by this White House." (www.politico.com) (full story)

U.S. Spies Buy Stake in Firm That Monitors Blogs, Tweets posted by Noah Shachtman via Kismo, 2009-10-20 18:09:55
And they galloped to their doom blissfully unaware of the consequences of their apathy, narcissism and fear.
Oz police have been making arrests using social networking sites since their inception. They have often referred to these sites as the best thing since finger printing. And who are the desperate morons assisting BIG BROTHER?
The team 'affectionately' refers to these sites as 'Facefuck' and 'Myarse' -- good luck doodles, you'll need it!
The sorry joke is real data has replaced aliases and nicks -- the first rule of digital security has been broken! NEVER EVER divulge PERSONAL DETAILS to the world at large -- u brainless bovines! (full story)

 Secret White House letter to G-20 posted by Greg Palast via sal, 2009-09-25 19:33:10
I still get a thrill whenever I get my hands on a confidential memo with "The White House, Washington" appearing on the letterhead. Even when—like the one I'm looking at now—it's about a snoozy topic: This week's G-20 summit. (full story)

 Sovereignty or corrupt Puppet government? posted by Joseph Ellis via finn, 2009-08-17 22:24:52
From the very beginning of our national history, Americans have been arguing about the proper role of government. Put succinctly, the dispute is between those who regard government as "them" and those who see it as "us."
Our two founding documents embody the tension in its classical form. The Declaration of Independence locates sovereignty in the individual citizen, who possesses the rights of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," as Thomas Jefferson so lyrically put it, and the power of government is described as an alien force that must be put on the permanent defensive.

The mind-numbed, volition-devoid MASSES posted by Joel S. Hirschhorn via nano, 2009-08-17 21:46:42
As we approach the eighth anniversary of 9/11 consider this paradox. In the post 9-11 years the scientific evidence for disbelieving the official government story has mounted incredibly. And the number of highly respected and credentialed professionals challenging the official story has similarly expanded. Yet, to the considerable disappointment of the international 9/11 truth movement, the objective fact is that there are no widespread, loud demands for a new government-backed 9/11 investigation. The 9/11 truth movement is the epitome of a marginalized movement, one that never goes away despite not achieving truly meaningful results, which in this case means replacing official lies with official truth. What has gone wrong? (full story)

 Brief History of the Shortest Lived Empire on Record, Pt. 1 posted by Andrew Gavin Marshall via quin, 2009-07-31 09:53:51
Introduction
“And it’s come to this;” are reputed to be the last words uttered by notorious Australian bushranger Ned Kelly before he was hanged. Today those fateful words apply to a bandit nation that chose, like Kelly, to live the hard, fast, short life of a rogue and bandit. (full story and 7 comments)

 Skype, the uncrackable peer communicator posted by Chris Williams via Kismo, 2009-07-31 05:31:30
"For years now a steady stream of reports and whispers have emerged that despite their batteries of supercomputers, intelligence agencies are frustrated by Skype's anonymity and strong encryption. Its base in Estonia also means the firm is out of the reach of the US lawful intercept laws and UK export legislation, which forces any firm supplying encryption technology to show GCHQ the backdoor."

 KOSOVO: US terrorist ally continues persecution of ethnic minorities posted by Lee Jay Walker via dusan, 2009-07-26 00:44:13
The former Yugoslavia was engulfed in many conflicts, ethnic and religious differences tore away at the fabric of this nation. Like all wars, atrocities took place on all sides but the mass media chose to focus on Serbian atrocities while neglecting brutal crimes committed against the Serbian community. This certainly applies to the numerous war crimes committed by the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). (full story and 1 comments)

 Obama: More Polished Than the Last Puppet posted by Cindy Sheehan via rialator, 2009-07-22 22:14:13
Okay, so the United States of America has had a new puppet regime for six months now. I was never so much into giving Obama a “chance” and I think it’s way past time to call Obama and his supporters out, like we called Bush and his supporters out. Our Presidents are merely puppets for the Robber Class and Obama is no exception. (full story)
