[But for Artists the world and our souls would be lost. Turn from vacuous perversities and meaningless (violent) values -- live in HARMONY!
We appreciate that some specialise in the Art of Assassination and War, but surely Poetry is the preferable option!]

 Enraged About Corporate Greed? Kidnap Your Boss posted by Christopher Ketcham via budgie, 2009-04-30 22:15:35
In answer to their own economic crisis, the French have taken up "bossnapping."
Here's how it works: An executive of a company, perhaps the CEO, stands before a group of his employees, puts his hands together, sighs, and then, with regret as smooth as brie, explains the fact that downsizing is needed to meet the exigencies of economic crisis (read: the preservation of profits in downturn).

Tamil civilians slaughtered as army shells 'no-fire zone' posted by Gethin Chamberlain via fleet, 2009-04-19 06:59:48
[De-sensitisation to the suffering of others comes, as does everything, at a price. Callousness rots our very soul; we lose a little bit of what makes life worth living each time we ignore the plight of our fellow human beings. Have you noticed how Western populations long for an end to their misery? (full story)

Bush, Cheney and the Boys could be Indicted under US Law posted by George Washington's Blog, 2009-04-18 06:27:37
The War Crimes Act of 1996, a federal statute set forth at 18 U.S.C. § 2441, makes it a federal crime for any U.S. national, whether military or civilian, to violate the Geneva Convention by engaging in murder, torture, or inhuman treatment. (full story)

A recent article published in the respected peer-reviewed Open Chemical Physics Journal by nine noted scientists offers incontrovertible proof that the dust from the Twin Towers and Building Seven of the World Trade Center contains small intact samples of Thermite. (full story and 1 comments)

Federal Authority Over the Internet? The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 posted by Jennifer Granick via Kismo, 2009-04-15 10:50:21
There's a new bill working its way through Congress that is cause for some alarm: the Cybersecurity Act of 2009, introduced by Senators Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME). The bill as it exists now risks giving the federal government unprecedented power over the Internet without necessarily improving security in the ways that matter most. It should be opposed or radically amended. (full story)

The Real US Executive its Agenda and the Irrelevance of the Presidency posted by Tom Burghardt via rialator, 2009-04-13 09:05:32
Since fatuously declaring his to be a "change" administration, President Barack Obama has quickly donned the blood-spattered mantle of state secrecy and executive privilege worn by the Bush regime. (full story and 1 comments)

  "They should arrest Obama for impersonating a President" posted by Ted Rall via rialator, 2009-04-10 20:06:43
America is a nation of laws -- laws enforced by Spain.
John Yoo, Jay Bybee, David Addington, Alberto Gonzales, William Haynes and Douglas Feith wrote, authorized and promulgated the Justice Department "torture memos" that the Bush Administration used for legal cover. After World War II, German lawyers for the Ministry of Justice went to prison for similar actions. (full story and 1 comments)

 Will China be caught with worthless greenbacks? posted by Mike Whitney via zing, 2009-04-07 21:57:20
Fed chief Ben Bernanke has embarked on the most radical and ruinous financial rescue plan in history. According to Bloomberg News, the Fed has already lent or committed $12.8 trillion trying to stabilize the financial system after the bursting of Wall Street's speculative mega-bubble. Now Bernanke wants to dig an even bigger hole, by creating programs that will provide up to $2 trillion of credit to financial institutions that purchase toxic assets from banks or securities backed by consumer loans. The Fed's generous terms are expected to generate a flurry of speculation which will help strengthen the banking system while leaving the taxpayer to bear the losses. It is impossible to know what the long-term effects of Bernanke's excessive spending will be, but his plan has the potential to trigger hyperinflation or spark a run on the dollar.

 Listen to the words of a real BLACK leader of INTEGRITY! posted by sam, 2009-04-06 22:17:13
Martin Luther King is a million times the man Obama could ever conceive of being. Compare a REAL BLACK MAN with a servile, tap-dancing, TRAITOR.
Obama serves the status quo, Martin Luther King served the Creator, his fellow man and his conscience!
Hold all war criminals, bankers, robber barons and those who protect them to account! LET JUSTICE BE SERVED and CLEANSE the earth of the filth that has infected our capitals. (full story)

 Evacuation ordered as Chile volcano erupts again posted by Simon Gardner via reed, 2009-04-04 22:52:55
We predicted a chain reaction of volcanic events after the Tonga deep sea eruption. We had Alaska almost immediately after, now Chile. There will be more activity North of Australia followed by increased magnitude events along the 'rim.' Think in terms of increasing amplitude waves! (full story and 2 comments)

 The Smooth Criminal Transition from Bush/Cheney to Obama posted by Larry Chin via quin, 2009-04-04 06:55:58
To sober, clear-eyed observers of history and political deception, the ascension of Barack Obama held the promise for unprecedented new dangers: a revitalized New World Order, led by the Anglo-American empire’s neoliberal criminal faction and an iconic, deceptive new facilitator; and a continuation of Bush/Cheney criminality and war, under smarter and much more effective management.
Now, just months into their tenure, the Barack Obama administration has more than fulfilled the promises he made to his elite constituency, deepening the mass destruction of Bush/Cheney, while charming its victims all over the world into enjoying their own demise. (full story and 1 comments)

Obama welcomes Albania, Croatia to NATO posted by Robert Burns via rialator, 2009-04-04 05:57:47
Where will it end, Han? Do you see the dick in your face, NOW? You have been lied to, conned and screwed and still you do not understand! It may or may not be too late now, however, what is certain is one more NATO move and it's over, Yuri!
I hope you choke on Kosovo, 'comrades!' You failed to DECISIVELY stand your LEGAL ground and support your ally when you had the chance. Now it verges on impossible; Albania, Croatia, soon Macedonia, Montenegro then Georgia, do you doubt it?
'Just desserts' for abandoning a close ally and displaying your cowardice to the world. It would have been much simpler and cleaner then! Enjoy the following report -- I can hear the laughter from Strasbourg in Sydney! (full story and 1 comments)

 Terror as a Tool of Empire posted by Chris Floyd via krill, 2009-04-02 10:34:00
Here's a purely hypothetical scenario. Let's say you were a dedicated imperial militarist who believed that your country's security, prestige and financial interests could best be served by war and the ever-present threat of war. Let's say you had some really hot and juicy operations going on, endless deadly conflicts that were pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into your war machine and entrenching national policy even more deeply in the militarist philosophy – the machtpolitik – that you believe in.
