    14 February 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    “Obama’s campaign...may be creating...a powerful constituency for ‘real’ change.” - Dave Lindorff, political pundit
    Sen. Barack Obama’s vote-generating juggernaut came very close to burying Sen. Hillary Clinton’s presidential aspirations in Maryland’s primary, on Feb. 12, 2008. Clinton’s candidacy in the “Free State” was aligned with its powerful Democratic Party Political Machine, while Sen. Obama was forced to reach out to the grassroots. In the Clinton camp, was the senior U.S. Senator (…)

    In Feb 1991 USA planes bombed a shelter causing the death of 408 innocent civilians
    Inside the Al-Amiriya Shelter / Baghdad- IRAQ By RAMZY BAROUD
    A few years ago, I stepped into the horror of the Gulf War. It was April 1999, and the place was Baghdad’s al-Amiriya bomb shelter.
    Living most of my life in a refugee camp in Gaza, where the murder of innocent people at the hands of Israeli troops is routine, I was little hesitant to walk into al-Amiriya. I was not braced for what I would (…)

    By MICHAEL R. GORDON
    WASHINGTON — The Army is accustomed to protecting classified information. But when it comes to the planning for the Iraq war, even an unclassified assessment can acquire the status of a state secret. That is what happened to a detailed study of the planning for postwar Iraq prepared for the Army by the RAND Corporation, a federally financed center that conducts research for the military. After 18 months of research, RAND submitted a report in the summer of 2005 called (…)

    In 1965, during a commencement speech at Howard University, then-President Lyndon Johnson stated, “You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, ‘You are free to compete with others,’ and still justly believe that you have been completely fair.”
    With those words, the idea of affirmative action was born. Although it has been distorted and misused over the years, affirmative action simply (…)

  • Antiwar America Unite

    If 80% of America wants to End the War & Impeach Bush, why can’t we accomplish our goals?
    We have been unsuccesful thus far because we are not united. And why is that? Because many of the anti-war ’leaders’ are actually government plants operating in the cointelpro tradition of infiltrate, disrupt and discredit.
    Does that sound outlandish to you? Do you still think we’re a free country and our government would never use nazi tactics like that? Well it’s true.

    The USA most Savage Crime of the Century/ Bombing of Al-Amiriya Shelter In February 1991, during the First Gulf War, a U.S. bomb punched a hole through the roof of the Al-Amiriya bomb shelter; seconds later a missile plowed through the opening. The blasts killed 408 civilians, mostly women and children( as can be seen from the following list). Many were killed by the concussion, the rest by a fire so intense it left flash-burned outlines of women and infants on the walls that are still (…)

  • Torture, Inc. USA
    11 February 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    Why has the Bush administration been dancing around the question of whether waterboarding is torture?
    Waterboarding was one of the most common tortures employed by the Spanish Inquisition for the first half of its 450-year-long history (circa 1480-1834). This has never been a secret. It is attested to by reams of documents - letters, debates, manuals of instruction and copious records of trials that include verbatim accounts of the torture sessions themselves - in the Historical Archives (…)

    Curb your enthusiasm. Even if your favored candidate did well on Super Tuesday, ask yourself if he or she will seriously challenge the bloated military budget that President Bush has proposed for 2009. If not, military spending will rise to a level exceeding any other year since the end of World War II, and there will be precious little left over to improve education and medical research, fight (…)

    Crimes & Corruptions of the New World Order
    Today, more than 23,000 representatives of private industry are working quietly with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. The members of this rapidly growing group, called InfraGard, receive secret warnings of terrorist threats before the public does—and, at least on one occasion, before elected officials. In return, they provide information to the government, which alarms the ACLU. (…)

    Financial Crisis: Asset Securitization— The Last Tango
    Endgame: Unregulated Private Money Creation
    What had emerged going into the new millennium after the 1999 repeal of Glass-Steagall was an awesome transformation of American credit markets into what was soon to become the world’s greatest unregulated private money creation machine.
    The New Finance was built on an incestuous, interlocking, if informal, cartel of players, all reading from the script written by Alan (…)
