Kucinich Reveals Dem Funding Bill Includes Privatization of Iraq Oil & Carte Blanche to Invade Iran
By June Caldwell: In a meeting with the West Los Angeles Democratic Club on Saturday, May 5, Presidential candidate and Ohio Congress Representative Dennis Kucinich revealed that the Democrats in Congress had made some secret concessions to the Republicans in the initial Bill to continue funding the Iraq War that was vetoed, and in a subsequent version that is currently being negotiated. They include: Privatization of Iraq’s Oil – in the original Bill, but not shared with the public. A rule was created that said this clause could not be removed during debate on House floor. Bush could invade Iran without approval of Congress. A clause that would require him to get approval from Congress first was removed. Timetable for troop withdrawal from Iraq to be removed from Bill (in post-veto version). Read more…
Globalization And Democracy: Some Basics
By Michael Parenti—The goal of the transnational corporation is to become truly transnational, poised above the sovereign power of any particular nation, while being served by the sovereign powers of all nations. Free trade is not fair trade; it benefits strong nations at the expense of weaker ones, and rich interests at the expense of the rest of us. Globalization means turning the clock back on many twentieth-century reforms: no freedom to boycott products, no prohibitions against child labor, no guaranteed living wage or benefits, no public services that might conceivably compete with private services, no health and safety protections that might cut into corporate profits. (The real policy and the real power behind corporate economic hegemony and the USA-driven military operations used to support, defend and maintain that multi-national dominance.) Read more…
A Nation of Firsts Arms the World
By Frida Berrigan: They don't call us the sole superpower for nothing. Paul Wolfowitz might be looking for a new job right now, but the term he used to describe the pervasiveness of U.S. might back when he was a mere deputy secretary of defense -- hyperpower -- still fits the bill. (To support the above film, this article provides a few facts for those who don’t understand our largest economic export segment and how the conflicts we foment around the world serve to keep those arms sales at record levels, often exceeding the total of the rest of the world combined in selling death.) Read more…
The Good American
By Scott Ritter: I yearn for a time when “good Americans” will be able to stop and reverse equally evil policies of global hegemony achieved through pre-emptive war of aggression. I know all too well that in this case the “enemy” will only be emboldened by our silence, since at the end of the day the “enemy” is ourselves. Read more…
The Moral Obligation to Lose The War
By Robert Shetterly: None of the offered plans now before us to de-escalate the war disavow what we all know to be its original goals — control of Iraq’s oil and the building of large, permanent US military bases in Iraq. Nor do any of these bills address the central issue of accountability, the fact that this war is a war crime, a crime against our democracy, our Constitution, the Iraqi people, international law, and our own soldiers. Without accountability, our democracy is meaningless. Without moral action, our claim to integrity and respect are meaningless. Read more…
Blueprint for Dictatorship – Recent legislation sets us up for tyranny (This should be a wake-up call—please forward widely.)
By Justin Raimondo: America is headed for a military dictatorship – and recent legislation makes this all but inevitable. (This is a very well-thought-out and well researched prescient piece—Amerika?) Read more…
The Four Unspeakable Truths – What politicians won't admit about Iraq.
By Jacob Weisberg: When it comes to Iraq, there are two kinds of presidential candidates. The disciplined ones, like Hillary Clinton, carefully avoid acknowledging reality. The more candid, like John McCain and Barack Obama, sometimes blurt out the truth, but quickly apologize. Read more…
The CIA – a Terrorist Organization – Agency uses same tactics it claims to be fighting
By Claudia Nelson: The United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) can be considered a terrorist organization according to both international and American definitions of terrorism. Since September 2001, U.S. President George W. Bush announced that he would use all his resources to fight terrorist organizations and declared a war on terror, which he legally cannot do, since according to the United States Constitution only the Congress can declare war, and it must be declared on a specific source. Terrorism is a general term used to describe violence or other harmful acts carried out for achieving political ends. Most definitions of terrorism include only those acts which are intended to create fear or "terror," are perpetrated for an ideological goal (as opposed to an attack by a "madman"), and deliberately target "non-combatants." According to the United States Federal Criminal Code, Chapter 113B of Part I of Title 18, terrorism is defined as “activities that involve violent ... or life-threatening acts ... that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State and ... appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and ... (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States ... [or] ... (C) occur primarily outside the territorial jurisdiction of the United States." Read more…
When We Forget To Remember
By Sheila Samples: Preceding generations had every reason to believe those following them would step into the breach and continue the vigil over this nation's Constitutional freedoms and, if necessary, fight to preserve them. They believed, like George Washington warned -- "Government is a "force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action." And they remembered, from generation to generation. Unfortunately, those following our generation will have no such luxury. We blew it. (Sheila writes for me, too.) Read more…
History 101
By Paul Buchheit: There were second thoughts about the war. The media reflected the changing attitudes as another major newspaper reported "We have actually come to do the thing we went to war to banish." The anti-war movement was fueled with comments such as this from the president of a top university: "It was our fault and ours alone that this war began." (Imperialism marches onward.) Read more…
The persistence of memory
By George Bisharat: Why do some people have the power to remember, while others are asked to forget? That question is especially poignant at this time of year, as we move from Holocaust Remembrance day in early spring to Monday's anniversary of Israel's declaration of independence on May 15, 1948. (This is a very rational look at the root of many problems in the Mid-East.) Read more…
Durbin Gives Edwards More To Apologize For (All 16 members betrayed their oaths of office and need to held accountable for the damage done.)
By Kevin Zeese: Durbin can’t cleanse the blood of his senate suit so easily, but he is not the only one who has some explaining to do. There were sixteen members of the Senate Intelligence Committee who were given the same information as Durbin. They all remained silent. (Complicity!) Read more…
Venezuela says to quit IMF, World Bank
Source: Reuters--Chavez, who plans to create an alternative lending bank run by South American nations and funded in part with his OPEC nation's high oil revenue, said on Monday Venezuela no longer needed the institutions dominated by U.S. "imperialism." (The sounds of freedom bells tolling in South America—freedom from the economic hegemony imposed by the USA, the World Band and IMF) Read more…
Road to Ruin?
By Daniel Schulman: Left unsaid, however, is that upon being “liberated” the majority of this value will flow directly into the pockets of the investors who are lobbying so aggressively for privatization, not to the taxpayers who technically own these assets and who have funded their construction and operation. (Privatization—the cure for big government? Or another way to rip off the taxpayers by selling public assets?) Read more…
BOLIVIA: NEW STYLE WORK FORCE (It is the antithesis of the USA model and indicative of diverging pathways—the USA toward more neoconservative controls and Bolivia toward economic freedom.) By Bernarda Claure: Self-employed workers, small and micro businesses, workers in illegal sweatshops, garbage-pickers who classify and sell whatever can be recovered, street vendors -- in short, all the components of the informal sector of the economy are now a major part of the work force which Bolivia's leftist government is endeavoring to learn about and support. Read more…
KBR awarded Homeland Security contract worth up to $385M
By Katherine Hunt: The contract may also provide migrant detention support to other government organizations in the event of an immigration emergency, as well as the development of a plan to react to a national emergency, such as a natural disaster, the company said. (This could be the next step—prison camps for dissenters after martial law--all under the guise of national security, of course.) Read more…
Venezuela's Revolution Accelerates
By Federico Fuentes: By trading not just in dollars and petroleum, but in human capital — providing, jointly with revolutionary Cuba in many cases, education and health programs — and through Chávez's defiant and outspoken stance, such as his denunciation of Israel's invasion of Lebanon, the Bolivarian revolution has captured the hearts and minds of millions across the world. Read more…
Subtlety one of the paradoxes of propaganda--The effective forms don't appear as if they're intentional
By John Brown: "When you are persuaded by something," says Stanford psychologist Lee D. Ross, "you don't think it is propaganda." As the White House, the Pentagon -- and we -- should note, this is one of the paradoxes of propaganda: The best propaganda doesn't appear to be propaganda. (Food for thought—especially when later compared with evidence contrary to one’s own conditioning.) Read more…
The World Bank has the perfect standard bearer-- The bank's credibility was already fatally compromised by hypocrisies far greater than those of Wolfowitz
By Naomi Klein: that's a pretty good description of the game of one-way strip poker that is our global trade system, in which the United States and Europe - via the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organization - tell the developing world: "You take down your trade barriers and we'll keep ours up." From farm subsidies to the Dubai Ports World scandal, hypocrisy is our economic order's guiding principle. (Our economy’s health is the determining factor concerning our military and economic dealings with the rest of the world under the guise of our ‘humanity’.) Read more…
Fascist America, in 10 Easy Steps (A long informative article and well worth the read.)
By Naomi Wolf: If you look at history, you can see that there is essentially a blueprint for turning an open society into a dictatorship. That blueprint has been used again and again in more and less bloody, more and less terrifying ways. But it is always effective. It is very difficult and arduous to create and sustain a democracy, but history shows that closing one down is much simpler. You simply have to be willing to take the 10 steps. As difficult as this is to contemplate, it is clear, if you are willing to look, that each of these 10 steps has already been initiated in the United States by the Bush administration. Read more…
The Bill of Rights…is not what you’ve been told. (This provides a good explanation of our Bill of Rights, where they have been abused and what needs to be done to save them and us from tyranny.) Read more…
Habeas Corpus Evaporating
Aziz Huq: As efforts to rectify the MCA’s most egregious incursions of America’s separation of powers hang in the balance, it is worth recalling how much is at stake today—and how badly things could go wrong if enacted legislation doesn’t achieve real reform. (This should be a wake-up call for any who value our rights and civil liberties, and who fear our government’s continued slide toward fascism.) Read more…
AIPAC on Trial: The lobby argues that good Americans spy for Israel.
By Justin Raimondo: Is there a First Amendment right to engage in espionage? Dorothy Rabinowitz seems to think so. Describing the actions of Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman, two former top officials of AIPAC, the premier Israel lobbying group, who passed purloined intelligence to Israeli government officials, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist characterized them as “activities that go on every day in Washington, and that are clearly protected under the First Amendment.” If what Rabinowitz says is true—if passing classified information to foreign officials is routine in the nation’s capital—then we are all in big trouble. Read more…
New Studies Destroy the Last Objection to Medical Marijuana (Coming soon—future whack-a-mole objection to Medical Marijuana—if my (fill in the blank savior) didn’t smoke, it must be immoral.) By Bruce Mirken: New research on "vaporization" has demonstrated that all those fears about the ill effects of smoking marijuana are 100 percent obsolete. (Big Pharma loses with medical herb.) Read more…
A Timeline of CIA Atrocities
By Steve Kangas: The following timeline describes just a few of the hundreds of atrocities and crimes committed by the CIA. CIA operations follow the same recurring script. First, American business interests abroad are threatened by a popular or democratically elected leader. The people support their leader because he intends to conduct land reform, strengthen unions, redistribute wealth, nationalize foreign-owned industry, and regulate business to protect workers, consumers and the environment. So, on behalf of American business, and often with their help, the CIA mobilizes the opposition. First it identifies right-wing groups within the country (usually the military), and offers them a deal: "We'll put you in power if you maintain a favorable business climate for us." The Agency then hires, trains and works with them to overthrow the existing government (usually a democracy). It uses every trick in the book: propaganda, stuffed ballot boxes, purchased elections, extortion, blackmail, sexual intrigue, false stories about opponents in the local media, infiltration and disruption of opposing political parties, kidnapping, beating, torture, intimidation, economic sabotage, death squads and even assassination. (Are these actions those of a nation truly interested in freedom and justice for all, or those of a nation bent upon global economic and military hegemony?) Read more…

Caught in the Crossfire—The Untold Story of Falluja—The American attack on Falluja, and the subsequent costs to the people there, has been a humanitarian, social, moral and ethical disaster; yet the American government and media have largely ignored the plight of the innocent victims. The refugees of Falluja risked their lives in order to tell their story to the world through the groundbreaking new documentary film, Caught in the Crossfire.
MUST WATCH VIDEO!!! America: From Freedom to Fascism (95 min) The main premise of the film is that the Federal Reserve banking system has maxed out the national debt and bankrupted the United States government, forcing illegitimate taxation to be imposed. The film describes this attempt at taxation as futile, only prolonging the inevitable collapse of the American way of life. (In 1913, America was a free country. Then a group of powerful bankers achieved their fathers' and grandfathers' goal. A plan to take over the American Government, and the enslavement of its citizens.)

New Rulers of the World (A 2002 Pilger tragic video revealing the lies concerning the World Bank, the IMF, NAFTA, CAFTA and globalization in general. Us? Slaves?) By John Pilger— 'Global economy' is a modern Orwellian term. On the surface, it is instant financial trading, mobile phones, McDonald's, Starbucks, holidays booked on the net. Beneath this gloss, it is the globalization of poverty, a world where most human beings never make a phone call and live on less than two dollars a day, where 6,000 children die every day from diarrhea because most have no access to clean water. (53 minutes of telling truth to power as John Pilger has done most of his life.)

Our hidden history.) Part 2 of 3. (How our government has continually aided in the destruction of other sovereign governments.) Part 3 of 3. (The parallels between war criminality then and now are unmistakable, and transcend both parties.)
9/11 The Myth and the Reality--A talk given by Dr. David Ray Griffin: Throughout this incredible video, enhanced with forceful images and video segments, Griffin details nine of the most commonly held myths and misconceptions about the events surrounding 9/11 and with logical precision proves the fallacies of each one. (A call for a REAL investigation)

This is a must listen interview. Broadcast 02/15/06 on Democracy Now!
Impending Police State in America (~45 mins) Alex Jones and world-renowned expert on international law--Professor Francis Boyle - (worth it in spite of Jones). |
