  Middle East tour - Obama is Expendable posted by ned, 2013-03-20 05:06:21
The price of selling your soul to the devil or nefarious criminal ruling elites is that you become an expendable asset. At the present time of total disillusionment with American politics/leadership, Obama’s masters must be aware, as most commentators are aware that an assassinated Obama has far more currency and political value than a lying, transparent, well past ‘use-by date,’ puppet politician.

 US Attorney General Refuses to Prosecute Wall St. Crime posted by Mark Karlin via judd, 2013-03-18 07:50:46
The above reality carries with it proof incontrovertible the USA is not a democracy but a Plutocracy, a nation run by a wealthy minority elite. Attorney General Eric Holder’s tragic and pathetic excuse for not pursuing Big Banks and the criminal Bankers that run them is that such an action may destabilise the economy. (full story)

Crosshairs on Washington posted by gus, 2013-03-14 08:24:42
While that despicable black -- traitor to his race and people -- lackey sits in Washington deciding who he will assassinate (extra-judicially murder next) and rogues on Wall St continue to plunder the nation/world with impunity and gloat over the power they have over the president and Congress/Washington, the question needs to be asked, while they are killing, jailing and enslaving us for misdemeanours, when will we target them?

The New Propaganda -- The New Slavery posted by John Pilger via baz, 2013-03-14 08:19:09
What is modern propaganda? For many, it is the lies of a totalitarian state. In the 1970s, I met Leni Riefenstahl and asked her about her epic films that glorified the Nazis. Using revolutionary camera and lighting techniques, she produced a documentary form that mesmerized Germans; her Triumph of the Will cast Hitler's spell. (full story)

Bank Immunity: When Do We Crack Down on Wall Street? posted by Dean Baker via stan, 2013-03-11 22:20:27
The Wall Street gang must really be partying these days. Profits and bonuses are as high as ever as these super-rich takers were able to use trillions of dollars of below-market government loans to get themselves through the crisis they created. The rest of the country is still struggling with high unemployment, stagnant wages, underwater mortgages and hollowed-out retirement accounts, but life is good again on Wall Street. (full story)

 Private [Bradley] Manning’s Confidant posted by Bill Keller via stacey, 2013-03-11 21:49:21
The following apologetic editorial piece by CEO of the NYT and CFR puppet, Bill Keller, is primarily compensating for his failure as a journalist and his social and moral failure to rally behind a brave young man that has reported heinous war and other crimes against humanity committed by the US military -- without 'fear or favour' Bill, REMEMBER?

US: Psychotic Superpower on a Hair-trigger posted by Finian Cunningham via ivy, 2013-03-11 21:00:25
The US has become a psychotic superpower, high on paranoia induced by its own poisonous propaganda. This unstable, lawless rogue state, armed to the teeth and deluded by its own self-righteousness, poses the greatest risk to world security. (full story)

Elusive Realities posted by stan, 2013-03-07 21:22:01
Hugo Chavez, the democratically elected socialist president of Venezuela, died this week of cancer and only hours after his death was announced puppet president Obama released a prepared press statement, not expressing his remorse over the death of a great reformist leader that survived all CIA attempts to remove him from power, but the usual bribe 'incentives’ message to the remaining Venezuelan leadership. That is to be expected from ‘buy or bomb,’ America; however, the following assault on reality was not expected. (full story)

 Hugo Chavez Dead at 58 posted by staff report via juan, 2013-03-05 19:26:38
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- President Hugo Chavez was a former paratroop commander and self-styled "subversive" who waged continual battle for his socialist ideals. He bedeviled the United States and outsmarted his rivals time and again, while using Venezuela's vast oil wealth to his political advantage. (full story)

American Culture Today posted by Henry A. Giroux via sam, 2013-03-03 21:03:18
"You write in order to change the world knowing perfectly well that you probably can't, but also knowing that [writing] is indispensable to the world. The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter even by a millimeter the way people look at reality, then you can change it." - James Baldwin (full story)

Rotten to the core -- God is not a Banker posted by Lynn Stuart Parramore via sal, 2013-03-02 00:21:50
It’s a place where angels fear to tread; where criminals, frauds and mysterious corpses turn up as regularly as rats in the metro. The Institute for Works of Religion, commonly known as the Vatican bank, was set up in 1942 by Pope Pius XII to manage the vast Vatican finances. Often referred to as the world’s most secret bank, the operation is run by a CEO and overseen by five cardinals who report directly to the Pope. (full story)

  Bradley Manning a Moral and Heroic Stand against all odds posted by staff report, 2013-03-01 23:29:29
Tortured, persecuted and misrepresented by the mainstream, prisoner of conscience, Bradley Manning, made a statement in his own defence on Friday, 1 March. Manning admitted that he alone was responsible for furnishing WikiLeaks with graphic information detailing the US military’s systemic corruption and criminal activities. Manning explained that he was forced to release that information to the public as his command refused to admit or acknowledge any irregularities whatsoever. Thanks to Manning’s selfless bravery and high moral standards the world is able to assess the situation for itself and the material is as damning for the Pentagon and US administration as it could be.
