Attack of the Cruise Missile Liberals
Special Note - A quote...."Americans are warlike – as long as they think they can be victorious. These nominal Democrats and Republicans “differ only on who they want to see doing the dominating.” Today, a Black Democrat is the head killer in charge, allowing the likes of Ed Schultz, Bill Maher and Juan Cole to endorse the criminal assault on Libya. When the chips are down, fraudulent anti-war liberals show their true racist, Manifest Destiny-loving colors. “The true anti-war movement must reawaken itself and hit the streets in the hundreds of thousands.” - also posted at AlethoNews

Is Nobel Peace Prize Winner Obama More Brutal than Bush?
Special Note - A quote....""Bush is correctly regarded as a lying, war-mongering, torturing tyrant. -- Is Nobel peace prize winner Obama even worse? -- Many governments, U.S. congressmen and other individuals have demanded that Obama return his Nobel peace prize for bombing Libya without congressional approval. -- Bush got us into 2 wars to protect our strategic national interests in ... er ... broccoli. Obama just got us into a third war for the same reason. Bush's decision to invade Iraq was met with large protests. Similarly, most Americans didn't want Obama to get involved in Libya. -- The Bush administration funded terrorist groups (and see confirming articles here and here). Obama is allegedly funding terrorist groups in Iran, and is now aiding the Libyan "rebels", even though there are allegations that 1,000 of them are Al Qaeda radicals (and there are some indications that their leader is a CIA asset). -- Obama has increased the number of drone attacks in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and elsewhere. Indeed, most people who have looked at the numbers believe that Obama has killed many more civilians with drone attacks than Bush did using the same method."

Truth, Propaganda and Media Manipulation

The mainstream media is owned directly by large multinational corporations, and through their boards of directors are connected with a plethora of other major global corporations and elite interests. An example of these connections can be seen through the board of Time Warner."

Kill teams in Afghanistan: the truth
A quote...."The disgusting and heartbreaking photos published last week in the German media, and more recently in Rolling Stone magazine, are finally bringing the grisly truth about the war in Afghanistan to a wider public. All the PR about this war being about democracy and human rights melts into thin air with the pictures of US soldiers posing with the dead and mutilated bodies of innocent Afghan civilians. -- I must report that Afghans do not believe this to be a story of a few rogue soldiers. We believe that the brutal actions of these "kill teams" reveal the aggression and racism which is part and parcel of the entire military occupation. While these photos are new, the murder of innocents is not. Such crimes have sparked many protests in Afghanistan and have sharply raised anti-American sentiment among ordinary Afghans." - also posted at ICH & CommonDreams

"From a cost savings perspective, to get something off the ground, it's huge. Especially if you're a small business." - bold/underline by website editor

$35 Billion 2 Year Auction Prices At 0.789%, 3.16 Bid To Cover
Chart - A quote...."Today's first of three auctions, which will total $99 billion and likely put the Treasury on the verge of breaching its debt ceiling, was an issuance of $35 billion in 2 Year paper. Coming at a high yield of 0.789% (largely expected per the When Issued), this was the highest issuance yield since April 2010, just before the market tumbled and the ground was set for QE2. The bid to cover came at 3.16, higher than last month's 3.03, but still the second lowest since September 2010. Direct bidders, after taking a break in the last auction, double their take down from 6.81% to 13.31%, relieving the Primary Dealers from some of their purchasing obligations, accounting for just 53.72% or well over half of the entire auction, which will soon be flipped right back to the Fed (keep CUSIP QL7 in mind: we are confident more than half of the PD's $18.6 billion take down will be monetized by the Fed within 3 weeks)"

Behind Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's Sweetheart Deal
Welcome to the New Roman Empire folks. - mpg -- A quote...."Documents obtained by The Daily Beast reveal how pedophile hedge fund mogul Jeffrey Epstein escaped a hefty jail sentence despite overwhelming evidence of sex crimes with dozens of young girls. Conchita Sarnoff and Lee Aitken on how the fear and intimidation experienced by victims during pre-trial proceedings, combined with a ferocious, protracted campaign to undermine the prosecution, culminated in a set of charges that became a virtual slap on the wrist." - This is one of your lords and ladies at work folks, think not? "Hedge fund managers" got a special tax break enacted by YOUR congress for THEIR benefit, they get to pay just a flat fifteen percent on the hundreds of billions in capital gains they steal each year. So in a sense, you "the people" paid for his pleasure. You allow Ben at the Fed to transfer tens of trillions to these guys, which depreciates the dollars in your pocket, causes ever increasing inflation and on top of all that, you "the people" gave these guys a tax break!! Hope all you faux-Christian, AIPAC/Israeli worshiping "Armageddon Cultists" out there are happy. - mpg

George Washington's Farewell Address
From the History File - September 19, 1796 - "It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. The rule indeed extends with more or less force to every species of free government. Who that is a sincere friend to it can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric? Promote, then, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened."

"As a very important source of strength and security, cherish public credit. One method of preserving it is to use it as sparingly as possible, avoiding occasions of expense by cultivating peace, but remembering also that timely disbursements to prepare for danger frequently prevent much greater disbursements to repel it; avoiding likewise the accumulation of debt, not only by shunning occasions of expense, but by exertions in time of peace to discharge the debts which unavoidable wars have occasioned, not ungenerously throwing upon posterity the burthen which we ourselves ought to bear."

"Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all. Religion and morality enjoin this conduct. And can it be that good policy does not equally enjoin it? It will be worthy of a free, enlightened, and at no distant period a great nation to give to mankind the magnanimous and too novel example of a people always guided by an exalted justice and benevolence....." -- *George Washington*, first president of the United States

You are Condemned to Repeat it: The Pictures that Fooled the World Revisited
Must Read - A quote...."As is usually the case, the mythology of the humanitarian nature of the aggression holds up in the main stream media (as well as the complicit so-called “alternative media”) just long enough to chop up the targeted country and sell it off for pennies on the dollar to crony capitalists, usually aided by one or more of our puppet dictators that we have installed over the decades. Crucial to all of these fascist efforts is the collaborator journalist who helps foster public approval for these actions by creating contrived lies for the state. What’s going on today is just the latest example."

Truth, Propaganda and Media Manipulation
A quote...."Never before has it been so important to have independent, honest voices and sources of information. We are – as a society – inundated and overwhelmed with a flood of information from a wide array of sources, but these sources of information, by and large, serve the powerful interests and individuals that own them. The main sources of information, for both public and official consumption, include the mainstream media, alternative media, academia and think tanks."

At the center of that controversy was -- and is -- Dr. Larry James. James, a retired Army colonel, was the Chief Psychologist at Guantanamo in 2003, at the height of the abuses at that camp, and then served in the same position at Abu Ghraib during 2004. -- Today, Dr. James circulated an excited email announcing, "with great pride," that he has now been selected to serve on the "White House Task Force entitled Enhancing the Psychological Well-Being of The Military Family." In his new position, he will be meeting at the White House with Michelle Obama and other White House officials on Tuesday." - also posted at Uruknet - Gosh gee whiz, all you ObamaTrolls out there must be thrilled.....even "excited". - mpg - Topix || 9/11-Iraq-Torture Fables ||

Indiana Prosecutor Suggested Fake Attack on Wisconsin Governor
It's ALL FAKE or ARRANGED folks, got it yet? That includes the "intell", the "news", the "WMD" and the "terrorists". Generally speaking if it's local, sponsored by the FBI or other "domestic" organizations, they usually (there are exceptions) don't go through with the "terrorist" plot. If it's international, sponsored by the CIA, DoD's $50 billion a year black budget, private contractors or through third parties (ISI, RAW, Saudi Royals), they'll usually let the "terrorists" or "patsies" carry out the plot. Finally, if it's sub-contracted through Israel, thousands to millions will be killed (Israelis love murdering goyums). Everybody got it yet?!?! - mpg

This government has already been recognized by France and Portugal as the sole legitimate representative of the Libyan people. The rebel council seems to be composed of just over 30 delegates, many of whom are enveloped in obscurity. In addition, the names of more than a dozen members of the rebel council are being kept secret, allegedly to protect them from the vengeance of Qaddafi. But there may be other reasons for the anonymity of these figures." - also posted at ICH & Hamsayeh

Washington won't quit until he's gone, no matter how many corpses it takes to achieve it. -- In fact, however, a far greater Middle East menace threatens the entire region, the Israeli war machine based in Jerusalem.

Libyan “revolutionaries” aren’t so revolutionary..
A quote...."Ever since the rebel opposition forces in Libya have taken control of the cities, there have been reports that have surfaced regarding torture, racial violence and repression. Coming across some recent articles regarding Benghazi, the last rebel stronghold in Libya, I can’t say that I’m amazed at the police state that they have designed and who is in power in Benghazi.
