Morsi Delivers his Calling Card - posted at ICH
Must Read - A quote...."August 31, 2012 "Information Clearing House" -  You'd better not mess with Muslim Brother Morsi. -- Straight out of "communist" China - where he secured a red carpet welcome from President Hu Jintao and vice-president Xi Jinping - the Egyptian president lands in "evil" Iran as a true Arab world leader. [1] -- Imagine conducting a poll in Tampa, Florida, among delegates at the Republican convention anointing the dodgy Mitt Romney-Paul Ryan duo as their presidential ticket. Chances are Morsi would be ranked worse than Hitler (oh no; that was Saddam. Or maybe Osama. Or maybe Ahmadinejad ... )  geopolitical divide. On one side, the 1% crowd yelling for blood - be it from Barack Obama or from assorted Muslims. On the other side, the bulk of the real "international community", practically the whole global South (including observers such as China, Brazil, Argentina and Mexico) refusing to bend over to imperial military/financial diktats. Reaffirming its impeccable journalistic credentials, US corporate media dismisses it all as just "a Third World jamboree"."

"Bashar must die!" - The Brahimi Plan - posted at ICH
Must Read - A quote...." August 30, 2012 "Information Clearing House" -  In the aftermath of the second Russian-Chinese veto which formally prohibited foreign intervention in Syria on February 4, the West feigned seeking peace while actively organizing a vast secret war. On the diplomatic front, they appeared to accept the Lavrov-Annan Plan, even as these same countries were facilitating the movement into Syria of tens of thousands of mercenaries and while UN Observers were escorting the leaders of the Free Syrian Army to get them through the roadblocks."

Inside Daraya - How a Failed Prisoner Swap Turned Into a Massacre - posted at ICH
Must Read
- A quote...." August 30, 2012 "The Independent" -- The massacre town of Daraya is a place of ghosts and questions.  It echoed to the roar of mortar explosions and the crackle of gunfire yesterday, its few returning citizens talking of death and assault, of foreign ‘terrorists’, its cemetery of slaughter haunted by snipers. But the men and women to whom we could talk, two of whom had lost their loved ones on Daraya’s day of infamy four days ago, told a story quite different from the popular version that has gone round the world:  theirs was a tale of hostage-taking by the Free Syria Army and desperate prisoner-exchange negotiations between the armed opponents of the regime and the Syrian army, before Bashar al-Assad’s government decided to storm into the town and seize it back from rebel control." - Source:  Independent

Minister for Information who Wants to go Straight - Truth will no longer be a casualty of Syria's civil war
Must Read - posted at ICH(What the HECK has happened to Robert Fisk, he used to be so dismissive of of many Middle Eastern states and some times, practically an apologist for Britain's foreign policy.  Now he's on an absolute TEAR....mpg) -- A quote...."August 31, 2012 "The Independent" -- When Syrian gunmen stormed Damascus last month, an angry, middle-aged and bespectacled man appeared on state television with a harsh message for Syria's "enemies". -- "They are calling this the last battle," he roared. "Yes, I agree it is the last battle – and they will lose!" Syrian viewers were not used to straight-talking of this kind from the voice of the regime, to be sure, but also the voice of a tough new broom at the top of the government's media operations, Omran Zoubi. The Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad, appointed him the information Minister to turn Syrian state television into a credible source of information."

Foreign Policy Night in Tampa
A quote...."Yesterday [Wednesday] was given over to foreign policy at the Republican National Convention, and what a blast from the past it was – John McCain and Condi Rice singing a duo of “Give War A Chance.” The only one missing was He Who Shall Not Be Named – but he was there in spirit. -- McCain was his usual self, which is to say brimming over with the manic energy of a whirling dervish high on meth, bellicosity emanating like sweat from every pore. He reminded his audience that he had “hopes of addressing [you] under different circumstances,” but having lost the election he had to settle for another role, that of Warmonger-in-residence, a position he shares with Senators Lindsay Graham and Joe Lieberman. Together, this chirping trio constitutes our chorus of war-birds, Senatorial shrikes who screech in unison whenever it appears America is passing up yet another opportunity to make war."

In A Desperate Bid To Secure The Jewish Vote, Romney Throws America Under The Bus
A quote...."I don't support Barack Obama because he is a liar and a war criminal. But to say that he has thrown Israel under the bus, as Romney said in his acceptance speech at the RNC, is a big and transparent lie. Obama has done more for Israel than any U.S. president in history."

Corrie verdict [white-wash] energizes worldwide movement to challenge Israeli impunity
A quote...."On August 28th, the day that an Israeli Judge absolved the military of any responsibility in the 2003 killing of peace activist Rachel Corrie as she stood to protect a Palestinian home from demolition, the majority of the small Palestinian village of Khirbet Zanuta was demolished.  In the South Hebron Hills, the Israeli military destroyed homes, animal shelters and water wells. Villagers tried unsuccessfully to stop the demolition by sitting on the excavator’s shovel.   Eight villages in the region are currently at risk of evacuation because the Israeli military intends to use the area for military exercises." - bold by website editor

BBC Rachel Corrie coverage omits facts, lets lies go unchallenged
A quote...."Tuesday 28 August was an extraordinary day for the BBC, even by its own low standards of reporting on Palestine. -- This was the day an Israeli court absolved the State of Israel of any responsibility for the death of Rachel Corrie, the 23-year-old American activist who was crushed to death by an Israeli armored bulldozer in Gaza in 2003."

Israeli court legitimizes murder
Quote of the Day...."Cindy and Craig Corrie hoped for better. So did sister Sarah. The world knows Israel murdered their daughter, Rachel, in cold blood. On August 28, Israeli justice ruled otherwise. -- It's unsurprising in a nation contemptuous of rule of law principles, democratic values, and life itself. More on the court ruling below. -- Israel is a rogue terror state. It's an out-of-control blight on humanity. It's a regional menace. Racism and persecution are institutionalized. It's unfit to live in for most Jews. For Arabs and supporters of equal rights and justice, it's dangerous."

The fourteen other Security Council members backed the resolution. One could almost hear the global community’s collective wheeze when U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice voiced the United States’ incongruence on 18 February 2011." - Source:  MediaRoots

The Mainstreaming of The Fringe: Why Psychologizing 9/11 Dissent Is Not Working
Special Note - A quote...."Totalitarianism isn’t history. It is here and now. But it can and will be defeated. -- The story of Brandon Raub, the former marine who was illegally detained in a mental institution for telling the truth about 9/11 on Facebook, is chilling. But it is chilling not for the defenders of truth, freedom, and justice, but for the totalitarian nuts who are running America into the ground. -- It is chilling for them because they have lost control of the narrative. 9/11 truth is becoming mainstream. Raub was vindicated in this strange episode. His case was dropped because it was based on nonsense. And he is now suing the U.S. government. [Hip Hip Hooray!!]  Not only is his sanity in check, but his moral compass is too."

Bloc Party: Pantomime and Power in the Imperial System
Must Read - Related Article - A quote...."On Thursday, with media attention focused on the gooberish plutocrat accepting the nomination of one faction of our single ruling party -- the bipartisan Imperial Bloc -- the leader of the other faction took the opportunity to bury a few more cases of state murder. -- There could hardly be a better example of how the American system rolls in our enlightened, ultramodern 21st century: garish, empty pantomimes of politics coupled with the ruthless, lawless, brutal exercise of imperial power -- with no accountability, no responsibility, no consequences for the crimes and depravities committed by the elites and their agents and sycophants."

The Revolution is Over - Long Live the Revolution!
Must Read - 2012 Election Cycle - (on the lesser of two evils....) - Second Quote of the Day...."August 30, 2012 "Information Clearing House" -- I shouldn’t be, but I am still surprised when I hear people urging me to support Romney because Obama will be so much worse, or Obama because Romney will be so much worse.  I hear this from smart people, people I respect, and I have to do a double take because I can’t believe what I’m hearing.  I can’t believe they can’t see that both of these people - or more accurately, the interests that support both of these people - are phenomenally evil and that to support either one is to support driving our country further toward a police state, aggressive military adventurism, economic cronyism and ultimately bankruptcy.  ---  Yet people are so tribal, and so ruled by fear.  I don’t know where the tribalism comes from.  Some of it is learned, but I fear some of it is innate, and it still astounds me to see how powerful it is, to watch otherwise intelligent and caring people throw their support behind what can only be described as a fascist dictator, all because he’s “one of them”.  “He’s a Democrat and I’m a Democrat and Democrats are good!”  Or “yes, he’s awful, but the other guy is so much worse!”  It is such a powerless position to be in, and is precisely how the power elite maintain their control over our lives - through fear.  Fear of the terrorists their own policies incited; fear of “rich” people; fear of “illegal” immigrants; fear of the other guy who might win if you don’t throw your support behind our equally awful candidate."

Which is why month after month we get seasonally fudged, conflicted and outright manipulated data from various sources how housing has bottomed, for real this time, and things are finally looking up.

A quote...."It will come as no surprise to many but everyone's favorite enemy #1, the US banker, decided to give himself a well-earned pay-rise in 2011 - according to data from Moody's Analytics (via Crain's). What is perhaps a little more surprising is the sheer gall of it given that the financial industry profits plunged over 70% from $27.6bn in 2010 to a mere $7.7bn in 2011. While the rise in salaries is not large, and the average man on the street actually saw a bigger rise, the critical point is that for two years in a row - from 2009 to 2010, and now from 2010 to 2011 - banking industry profits have dropped like a stone but the average salary of those oh-so-deserving 'Wall-Street'ers has risen." - Source:  ZeroHedge - Topix  ||  Having Fun With Your Tax Dollars  ||

The Republicans: Wall Street’s reactionary party
Quote of the Day...."A major factor in the behavior of the US population is the long-term de-industrialization and economic decline which began with Nixon’s demolition of the postwar Bretton Woods economic system on August 15, 1971. Over the four decades since then, especially with the growth of the parasitical financial services economy, the combined US standard of living and quality of life have declined by about two thirds, according to my own research in Surviving the Cataclysm, as confirmed by figures developed by the website Shadow Government Statistics. -- Virtually every major social group is responding to the decimation of the middle class standard of living, plus the decline of upward social mobility, that derive from this situation. The resulting tensions are all the more acute because this issue is seldom openly addressed as a matter of national policy. The depression starting in 2008 piled on top of decades of decline, has driven many US demographic groups into a political frenzy, reminiscent of Germany and Italy between the two world wars." - also posted at TarpleyNet

Indeed, the conspiracy culture is the product of the presstitute media’s failure to investigate and to report truthfully. I am certain that the Western media is worse than the Soviet media was.

Was The NYPD Responsible For 10 Of The 11 People Shot Yesterday?
A quote...."The official media-friendly narrative explaining yesterday's latest tragic shooting incident in midtown Manhattan in which a recently unemployed Jeffrey Johnson, 58, walked up to his former boss and shot him three times point blank before "calmly" walking away, is that Johnson also shot 9 other people, luckily none fatally, before being taken down by the NYPD. Sadly, as so often happens these days, the "media-friendly" narrative is wrong, and as CBS and Guardian report, Johnson did not fire during the quote unquote shootout, in which at least nine other perfectly innocent were hit, all of them by stray NYPD bullets."

2012 Election Cycle -- Quote of the Day...."August 25, 2012 "Information Clearing House" ---- A vote for Obama will bring war with Syria, Iran, and eventually Russia and China. The economy will continue to suffer in order to bolster the interests of off-shore corporate-financier interests, while  the collective prospects of Americans continue to whither and blow away. A vote for Romney, however, will also bring war with Syria, Iran, and eventually Russia and China. The economy will also continue to suffer in order to bolster the interests of off-shore corporate-financier interests, while the collective prospects of Americans continue to whither and blow away. Why?  ---  Because the White House is but a public relations front for the corporate-financier interests of Wall Street and London." - also posted at LandDestroyerReport & InfoWars & PoorRichardsBlog & HangTheBankers & GlobalRsrch

Must Read - A quote...."In effect, the Fed is the "enforcer" of neofeudalism in America: the feudal Lords of Finance control the for-sale political system and skim tribute from the 99.5% toiling in the fields below their castles.

Average U.S. Household Has Lost 5% in Annual Income Since Economic “Recovery” Began
A quote...."The rich are getting richer, and the poor really are getting poorer. According to a new report, Americans are earning less today on average than they were when the Great Recession, which began in December 2007, ended in June 2009. Using Census Bureau data, economists Gordon Green and John Coder determined that real median household income has actually fallen by 4.8% since the recession’s end. Even more surprisingly, they found that the decline since June 2009 was larger than the 2.6 percent decline that occurred during the recession." - also posted at AlethoNews

Vive La Stagnation!
A quote...."So what's a status quo regime that needs the retail dumb money (which is anything but in the past three years) to do? The only thing it can do: lower expectations. Which is precisely what Goldman has done. Because apparently one no longer needs growth to justify insane multiples. All one needs is a, drumroll please, stagnation. That's right - all you need, apparently, to buy stocks is hope and prayer that the US economy can sustain its stagnant state, and all shall be well. Of course, with GDP rising at best at a 2% rate each year, even as the public debt soars at 4-5x times that level, stagnation may well be the best thing the US economy can hope for."
