Rising opposition in Europe: U.S. plans for NATO run into a wall posted by Sara Flounders via rialator, 2008-05-10 06:35:38
NATO held a three-day meeting in Bucharest, Romania, on April 2 to 4, attended by George W. Bush and other heads of state. It was a stormy affair. This alliance of imperialist military powers, long dominated by the U.S., was divided on several proposals being pushed by Washington. One was the proposed further expansion of NATO eastward to include Ukraine and Georgia, which were once part of the Soviet Union and sit on the border of Russia. Another was the plan to place a U.S. ballistic missile system in the Czech Republic and Poland, the heart of Europe. Another was Washington’s recognition of independence for the Serbian province of Kosovo. (full story)

Trilateral Commission: global elite gather in D.C. posted by James P. Tucker Jr. via reed, 2008-05-06 21:46:55
The Trilateral Commission—one of the three most powerful globalist groups in the world—held closed-door meetings right here in Washington, D.C. from April 25 to 28. True to form, those members of the media who knew about the meeting—or were themselves participants in the proceedings—refused to discuss what went on inside or report on the attendees. Luckily, AFP’s own editor, Jim Tucker, was on the scene to bust this clandestine confabulation wide open. (full story)

WASHINGTON, May 5 (IPS) - Three weeks after the 9/11 terror attacks, former U.S. Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld established an official military objective of not only removing the Saddam Hussein regime by force but overturning the regime in Iran, as well as in Syria and four other countries in the Middle East, according to a document quoted extensively in then Undersecretary of Defence for Policy Douglas Feith's recently published account of the Iraq war decisions.

 In Memory of Albert Hofmann and his discovery – LSD-25 posted by quin, 2008-05-05 10:48:18
Albert Hofmann died last week aged 102; his longevity may be attributed to the ‘acid’ he first synthesised in ’43 -- then again it may not, but it doesn't really matter! Reams could be written on the effects of LSD but in memory and homage to a great man and pioneer we leave the description to him. Following is an excerpt from his book, “LSD - My Problem Child:” (full story)

 Spineless Australia hosts largest U.S. spy base outside continental U.S.A posted by Richard Neville via rialator, 2008-04-30 22:34:18
[Pine Gap, American spy base located in central Australia stands as a monument to Australian servility and cowardice. Only one Australian leader took the Americans to task over this secretive installation; he was immediately removed from power by the machinations of the CIA and their conservative Australian allies -- refer to a good Australian history book for the entire account.
Gough Whitlam wished to make Australia a nation in its own right but the Americans would have no one -- including the democratically elected Prime Minister – disturbing their plans and causing trouble in their new post WWII colony.
America replaced the British as the new colonial overlords for CRINGING, infantile Australian governments. To witness TODAY our leaders cowering like the servile dogs they are before the corrupt, inept and mass murdering Americans is truly sickening!
The following story, by Australian journalist, author and activist, Richard Neville, makes for a riveting and sobering read -- FUCK AMERICA, the scourge of the world! Ed.] (full story)

Nature signals calamity! posted by Mollie Matteson via rialator, 2008-04-28 20:57:24
[First the honey bees now the bats -- is anyone listening to the most important alarms? Ed.]
BATS have been dying by the thousands recently in the Northeastern United States. No one knows why, and it may be months, perhaps years, before the cause is determined. Meanwhile, scientists predict that this summer there will be a population explosion of insects, which bats normally eat in large quantities. Greater numbers of beetles and moths could mean severe and costly losses for farmers and timber producers. There could also be bigger swarms of mosquitoes and other biting bugs, which will mean more discomfort for all of us. (full story)

 Cheney/Bush/Israel determined to ignite WWIII posted by Peter Chamberlin via reed, 2008-04-28 20:42:24
Judging from the campaign rhetoric coming out of both camps, whoever wins the Oval Office will be inclined to continue the failed military policies in Iraq and to pursue a confrontation with Iran. Apparently it does not matter to either party what will follow those actions, or what these disastrous policies have produced as they played-out in Iraq and Afghanistan. It does not matter who gets elected, whether it is "bomb, bomb Iran" McCain, or "obliterate/massive retaliation" Clinton, nothing will change. (full story)

 Latin America: the attack on democracy posted by John Pilger via rialator, 2008-04-25 09:20:48
Beyond the sound and fury of its conquest of Iraq and campaign against Iran, the world's dominant power is waging a largely unreported war on another continent - Latin America. Using proxies, Washington aims to restore and reinforce the political control of a privileged group calling itself middle-class, to shift the responsibility for massacres and drug trafficking away from the psychotic regime in Colombia and its mafiosi, and to extinguish hopes raised among Latin America's impoverished majority by the reform governments of Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia.

Meltdown of U.S. Dollar Underway as China Dumps the Currency posted by David Gutierrez via reed, 2008-04-17 20:02:11
Comments by China that it intends to move away from its reliance on the dollar triggered a sharp drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and heightened worldwide fears about the U.S. currency's stability. Chinese Central Bank Vice Director Xiu Jian said that his country is planning to shift much of its $1.4 trillion national currency reserve from dollars to more stable currencies, such as the euro or Canadian dollar. After these comments, the dollar fell to record lows relative to other currencies -- the lowest ever against the euro, the lowest in a generation against the British pound, and the lowest in 57 years against the Canadian dollar.
