 In an Impotent World even Criminal Aggression is Tolerated posted by Paul Craig Roberts via reed, 2009-07-21 00:24:02
"The Russians and Chinese are off balance because of successful American interventions in their spheres of influence, uncertain of the threat and the response. Russia could have prevented the coming attack on Iran, but, pressured by Washington, Russia has not delivered the missile systems that Iran purchased. China suffers from her own hubris as a rising economic power, and is about to lose her energy investments in Iran to US/Israeli aggression. China is funding America’s wars of aggression with loans, and Russia is even helping the US to set up a puppet state in Afghanistan, thus opening up former Soviet central Asia to US hegemony.

CIA claims of cancelled assassination campaign are hogwash! posted by Eric Margolis via reed, 2009-07-20 08:09:50
CIA director Leon Panetta just told Congress he cancelled a secret operation to assassinate al-Qaida leaders. The CIA campaign, authorized in 2001, had not yet become operational, claimed Panetta. I respect Panetta, but his claim is humbug. The U.S. has been trying to kill al-Qaida personnel (real and imagined) since the Clinton administration. These efforts continue under President Barack Obama. Claims by Congress it was never informed are hogwash. (full story)

 Big Pharma: Baxter Files Swine Flu Vaccine Patent a Year Ahead of Outbreak posted by Lori Price via peptide, 2009-07-18 11:22:07
Australia has introduced police enforcement/incarceration for people that refuse vaccinations when "SUSPECTED" of coming into contact with swine flu! Canada and France are imposing mandatory vaccinations on their entire populations while America approaches a similar policy.
The MANDATORY and ENFORCEMENT aspects based on suspicion/suspected contact essentially leaves the door open for enforcers to detain whoever they wish on a phoney quarantine excuse, then pump them full of God knows what masquerading as vaccinations! Or, optionally, murder whoever they wish in quarantine and put it down to swine flu! (full story and 2 comments)

 Is Lucifer a racist? Go South young man, go South! posted by Chris McGreal via krill, 2009-07-04 23:11:27
Occasionally, I shake hands with a Mason and detect that tell-tale grip, thumb on first ‘fuck-knuckle;’ I choose not to respond though I could. Boaz! And for all those racists ‘on the square’ this piece is dedicated to a failing quasi-Jewish, Lucifer-honouring, not so secret, organisation that once ruled most of the world. Today it is a shadow of its former self; however, it struggles to maintain some of those ol’ fashion racist and elitist values. Ed. (full story)

Pakistanis Reject U.S. 'Aid' Flights posted by Jeremy Scahill via quill, 2009-07-04 10:47:18
Damn those ungrateful Pakistanis. After U.S. drone attacks killed more than 600 of their people since 2006—most of them civilians—it seems they think they have some right to say they don’t want the U.S. flying its “aid” planes to Swat and other “tribal areas.” The New York Times reports that “the Pakistani authorities have refused to allow American workers or planes to distribute the aid in the camps for displaced people.” The paper reports: (full story and 1 comments)

 BALIBO: the enduring FAILURE of spineless Australia posted by Sarah Collerton via rialator, 2009-06-22 20:55:38
The Australian journalist who broke the story of the Balibo Five is disappointed his own government has failed to act over the deaths of the journalists.
[Successive governments since Whitlam have failed to pursue this now PROVEN case of murder. FIVE unarmed Australian citizens were slaughtered by Indonesian special forces in East Timor in 1975. To this day that crime remains the clearest indication of Australia's TRUE COWARDLY character. NO VALID reasons, political or otherwise, exist that would prevent bringing the culpable to trial yet our internationally humiliated servile show pony, PM, Kevin 'custard face' Rudd, displays only avoidance, RETICENCE, COWARDICE, TIMIDITY and FEAR! And YES, it is true that national leaders reflect the national character; take a long, hard, look at yourselves Australia. A land of CRINGING, xenophobic, racist, COWARDS!
