News Flash: Chemical Weapon Terrorist Plot Thwarted in the UK!
Must Read - A quote...."British authorities thwarted a plot by UK-born extremists – including a medical professional – to manufacture chemical bombs to be used in fomenting a "civil war" between Muslims and Christians in the UK, the Guardian reports, and the alleged perpetrators are now on trial.  -  But why are we telling you this? Surely, it's been splashed 24-7 across CNN and Fox News. You have doubtless seen every detail of the conspiracy and its nefarious plotters ricocheting around ABC, NBC and CBS...."

Oil a Factor in Australian Role in Iraq: Minister
Must Read - Some quotes...."Oil is a key factor keeping Australian troops in the US-led war in Iraq, Defence Minister Brendan Nelson said Thursday, before his boss Prime Minister John Howard sharply contradicted him.  -  Nelson’s startling comments caused an immediate stir in Australia, one of the United States’ few major allies in the increasingly unpopular war, but Howard quickly backed away from the explosive contention. -  A new defence review had concluded that maintaining “resource security” in the Middle East was a priority, Nelson said in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

And...."Treasurer Peter Costello also joined in the denial that Australian troops were primarily in Iraq to secure oil supplies.  -  “We’re fighting for something much more important here than oil, this is about democracy and freedom in the Middle East,” he told reporters. - bold/italics by website author

So that's what they call it when you break into someone's home, bomb their five year old kid, murder the granddad, make everyone else a prisoner and steal everything not nailed down....it's called "resource security"

And you know what the best part of the whole thing is....we're "helping" the Indians.....'scuse me.....we're helping the Indigenes by bringing them "democracy and freedom"

Any of you other countries out there want some "democracy and freedom"....how about you Venezuela, or you Kazakhstan....you look like you could use some Nigeria.  Anybody else out there want some of our "help"?

Go ahead just raise your hand, all you need to get the ball rolling is to start doing some business with any of our finest  AngloAmerican corporations.  – mpg

Freedom, Democracy, and Free Enterprise?
Must Read - A quote...."In 2002, the Bush administration’s National Security Strategy of the United States famously declared that there was now “a single sustainable model for national success: freedom, democracy, and free enterprise.” Around the world, and at home, this claim finds ever fewer takers. It is not hard to see why.  -  In the past few years, the United States has launched a systematic assault on freedom, abroad and at home, as part of the war on terror. The United States has invaded and now occupies by force not one but two countries. This was once considered to be the highest crime under international law. The United States now sees it as legitimate to kidnap, imprison without charge or trial, torture and murder people around the world."

So what's the problem?  Everyone can now go into someone's home, community, town or country and rape, kill and loot till you're satisfied.  Sounds like the perfect prescription for freedom - no laws, no morality and no restraint.

Money and Power rules all.

This guy sounds like one of those wimpy old school liberals, he should read The Wealthiest One Percent – The Spirit of Liberal Capitalism - 12-15-05 and the five sacred principles contained therein. All he'll have to do is master them and he'll be a "winner" – mpg

Record big business donations flow into 2008 US presidential campaign coffers
Some quotes...."Each US presidential election cycle, for months before a single primary vote is cast, the primary that counts is conducted behind closed doors, largely out of sight of the public at large. In the “money primary,” Democratic and Republican candidates tour the country, speaking at extravagant private fundraising dinners, visiting with lobbyists, and addressing meetings of company executives."

And...."The war chests of the two leading Democratic candidates far exceed anything a presidential candidate has raised over the same period in American history."

America's 21st century monarchy
Must Read - A quote...."Bush's commutation of Libby's 30-month prison sentence for four counts of perjury and obstruction of justice was as politically necessary to hold his remaining hardcore base for the rest of his 18 months in office as it was politically damaging to his legacy and to the possibility of a Republican succession. It was also essential in order to sustain Libby's cover-up protecting Cheney and perhaps Bush himself."

"The sole reason that Bush offers for the commutation - that Judge Reggie Walton's sentence was "excessive" - is transparently false. Indeed, the sentence meets the normal guidelines for such a crime. "The sentence in this case was imposed pursuant to the laws governing sentencings which occur every day throughout this country," said Patrick Fitzgerald, the special prosecutor. "In this case, an experienced federal judge considered extensive argument from the parties and then imposed a sentence consistent with the applicable laws." Nothing is irregular or extraordinary about the length of the sentence, except the person receiving it"

A Farewell to Arms Control
A quote...."The reality was, and is, that nothing could have been done to save UNMOVIC once Bush decided to activate his unilateral dream of regional conquest in the Middle East.  Having made international law, and by extension the Security Council of the United Nations, irrelevant to U.S. foreign policy objectives, there was no chance that an organ of the Security Council—the weapons inspection process—could continue to be seen as relevant.  Truth be told, UNMOVIC was always a red-headed stepchild in the world of disarmament affairs.  It was born of illegitimacy, derived from a political need on the part of the United States to be seen as promoting U.N.-mandated disarmament in Iraq even after orchestrating the demise of UNMOVIC’s predecessor, UNSCOM. "

[More Regarding] Sheiks on a plane
A quote...."Not only did the FBI deny that such a flight took place, the Bureau went to great lengths to create an internal paper trail buttressing the story that the flight never occurred. And yet subsequent investigation by the 9/11 commission -- which did accomplish some things -- proves that it did happen."

Globalist Think Tanks Call For Balkanization Of Iraq
A quote...."A plan gaining traction in the Congress to separate Iraq into three autonomous territories directly mirrors long term globalist plans to "divide and conquer" in Iraq, an ongoing semi-covert project which has involved the intentional stoking of sectarian violence by occupying forces."

Fake Terror and Instability in North Africa
A quote...."Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, the Philippines and Lebanon aren’t the only fronts in the “global war on terror.” Although it remains largely out of the public eye, the U.S. has also sought to open up a north-African front in its fight against al-Qaeda, with equally unappreciated consequences."

“Behavior-Detection” Graduates from Airports to Bus and Train Stations
A quote...."In celebration of Independence Day commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, the feds have increased the visibility of armed goons at train stations and bus terminals across the country. “Officials from the Transportation Security Administration, formed after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, said the additional security is not a response to any specific threat to any of the regions,” reports the Examiner. In other words, there are no terrorists and you are not in danger. Since the Constitution is nothing more than a “goddamned piece of paper,” according to the decider-commander guy, it makes sense the government has decided to roll out this in-your-face escalation—from airports to bus stations—on the same day baby-kissing politicians blabber on about liberty, freedom, equality under the law, inalienable rights, and representative government, blah, blah, blah."

Sadr bloc joins Sunnis in rejecting Iraq oil law

Media Silence About the Carnage in Iraq - Killing 10,000 Iraqis Every Month
A quote...."A state-of-the-art research study published in October 12, 2006 issue of The Lancet (the most prestigious British medical journal) concluded that--as of a year ago--600,000 Iraqis had died violently due to the war in Iraq. That is, the Iraqi death rate for the first 39 months of the war was just about 15,000 per month."

Net closes on mosque - and Pakistan
A quote...."KARACHI - A fierce battle to seize Taliban and al-Qaeda assets in Pakistan has begun from the capital Islamabad, where hundreds of militants holed up in the radical Lal Masjid (Red Mosque) are surrounded by 12,000 Pakistani troops."

Never Wrong...No One Is Ever Wrong
A quote...."I have met a lot of people who are never wrong. They never take back that which they spoke which proved to be either stupid, inane or simply wrong. They waffle, redefine and deny, but they are never wrong. These people are incapable of saying "oops," much less, "I'm sorry," You find them everywhere. They might be a pastor, a politician, a CEO or a President. They might be your mother- in-law, father-in-law, dad, mom, brother or sister. Of course, it could be you, but you won't notice that. One common thing they share is that they are NEVER wrong."

Fed Up With War, Some Won't Pay Taxes
A quote...."When the United States invaded Iraq more than four years ago, war opponent David Gross asked his bosses for a radical pay cut, enough so he wouldn't have to pay taxes to support the war."

DON'T DO THAT!  You'd be fighting the I.R.S. which is a losing cause.  -  Just get as much money as you can and never bank with, buy from, or invest in ANY American corporation.  Buy only (or as much as you can) from local manufacturers, local farmers or foreign goods.  VOTE WITH YOUR DOLLARS take your money out of any U.S. bank, and put it into foreign bonds, stocks or savings accounts of any country whose government does a better job than ours -  i.e. one that doesn't go around murdering hundreds of thousands of people to get some "booty and bling."

And never EVER watch, listen to, or buy any of the "products" produced by our "mass media" again. - mpg

Constitution vs. Failed Impeachment: Is it Worth it? - posted at BuzzFlash
A quote...."Then the interviewer (a terrific interview, worth hearing) Mike Stark said it isn’t about George Bush, “Respectfully, the question is whether the Constitution is worth it.” And what was Speaker Pelosi’s response?: “Well, yeah, the Constitution is worth it, if you can succeed.”  -  “If you can succeed”? All expressions of disbelief that Rrrandy knows are inadequate to this comment from the top elected Democrat. “If you can succeed“? Meaning the Constitution is not worth protecting if the impeachment and conviction process isn’t finished? Similes abound showing how ridiculous and dangerous Pelosi’s position is."

The freeing of Lewis Libby: Government criminality and the class nature of American “justice”
Must Read - A quote...."It was clear from the outset that the drive to silence Wilson came from Cheney and the White House itself. In the opening stages of the trial, Libby’s lawyer portrayed his client as a “fall guy” for higher-ups, a characterization the jury apparently found apt. It was revealed after the trial that while convicting Libby, jurors openly questioned why others—including key Bush aide Karl Rove—were not also on trial."

"Then, in an unanticipated turn of events, the defense abruptly rested its case without calling Cheney, Rove or Libby himself to the witness stand. It was clear that Libby and his lawyers had decided virtually to concede guilt rather than pursue the line of defense they had laid out at the trial’s opening.  -  It was more than an educated guess, widely discussed in the media at the time, that Libby had been given assurances that Bush would intervene to prevent him spending any time in prison."

The Militarization of American Youth
A quote...."Across the country, the U.S. military is failing to meet its recruitment goals. To address this problem, the Pentagon has been rapidly expanding its programs designed to entice young people to enlist. It is now spending $3.4 billion dollars annually, an average of $14,000 per new recruit. Using flashy marketing campaigns, television spots, and even developing its own videogames, the Army is bombarding young people with images that glorify guns and violence. Recruiters use elaborate PR strategies: they set up shop at malls, movie theaters, sporting events, and concerts, and they cruise around town in decked-out Humvees that blast music popular among teenagers."

"And they cruise around town in decked-out Humvees that blast music popular among teenagers"  Shouldn't they be cruising around for the "young meat" to "service" our wealthy elites in decked out gold Cadillacs with faux-leopard upholstery, sporting fedoras and wearing fur coats, after all they do call it one of the oldest professions in the world....or perhaps I'm confusing their activities with something else? - mpg

The Probable Collapse Sequence of NIST
A quote...."Nearly six years after its collapse, the public has yet to be told how a 47-story building that was not struck by an airplane, that had only marginal fires burning in it between the 6th and 13th floor, that experienced significantly less damage than WTC5 and WTC6 from falling debris that resulted when the twin towers collapsed, nearly six years later and NIST still cannot explain in any believable terminology how or why this building collapsed.  Fletcher refers to the complexity – tangled webs would have been a more forthcoming choice of words.  At this point, only efforts to distract and deceive can explain this lack of final conclusions."

Patrick Henry: Give me Liberty or Give Me Death
A quote...."There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free--if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending--if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained--we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!"

"They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength but irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us....."

Pakistan’s Military-Corporate Empire
A quote...."Since independence, Pakistan’s military leaders were seen as nonpolitical fix-it men, who launched coups to clean up the messes left by failed civilian governments. But “the military under Musharraf … has truly changed its character,” says Ayesha Siddiqa, an author and military critic whose book, “Military Inc.,” published in May, marks the first thorough investigation into the extent of the military’s penetration into Pakistan’s economy and civil society.  -  “The military has become a ruling class and has ceased to be an arbiter,” she says."

Saudi Takeover of GE Plastics Flies Under Radar

But in the world of corporate governance, the largest transaction ever completed in the Persian Gulf, seemingly trumps all laws of reason."

Actually this take-over makes perfect sense.  You know -- oil = petrochemicals = plastics. The Saudis not only want to pump it, they want to change it, alter it, make it, mold it, sell it and ship it. It's called vertical integration and it's allot more profitable than just selling a commodity - mpg
