A Normal Life By David Glenn Cox
I loathe the mundane, I also loathe the AP style of writing, it is an analog style in a digital age, which if applied correctly, drains all style and humanity from any written issue.
In the 1920’s and thirties, radio announcers garbed in tuxedo’s with cupped hand said melodiously, “Live from the Herbert Hoover ballroom of the Grand Testicle hotel, located in beautiful downtown Swamp Rat, Idaho we bring you, for your listening pleasure Kay Kaiser and his (…)

The National Defense Authorization Act, one of the most vicious assaults on your rights - EVER, was signed into law by Barack Obama on the day that the most alcohol is consumed. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
An administration official has gone on record saying, "President Obama does believe . . . that the military has the right to capture and hold any citizen who is engaged in conflict against the United States."
"Conflict," as described by the dictionary, merely means a serious (…)

U.S. President Barack Obama has signed, into U.S. law, the National Defense Authorization Act.
Obama stated, "I want to clarify that my administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention, without trial, of American citizens. Indeed, I believe that doing so would break with our most important traditions and values as a nation."
Well, Barack, it’s so comforting to know that YOUR administration will not "authorize" the indefinite military detention (without trial) of (…)

In the British TV comedy “Fawlty Towers”, hotelier Basil Fawlty (John Clease), faced with some German guests, famously told his staff “Don’t mention the war”. The look-the-other-way Mainstream media of Australia – and no doubt those of other Western Murdochracies and Lobbyocracies – have applied this dictum by ignoring the appalling war carnage in reviewing a blood-soaked 2011.
Thus the Sydney Morning Herald (SMH, Fairfax media empire) opined “We can sum up 2011 as a year when the (…)

While the history of the world is moving decisively toward a culture of inclusion, diversity and pluralism, Israeli politics seems to challenge history by moving in the opposite direction of exclusion and unilateral self - righteous monopoly of geography, demography, history, archeology and culture, especially in Jerusalem, where Israelis are desperately trying to establish a “Jewish” capital for Israel and “the Jewish people” worldwide, excluding centuries old presence (…)

The pieces and policies for potential conflict in the Persian Gulf are seemingly drawing inexorably together. Since 24 December the Iranian Navy has been holding its ten-day Velayat 90 naval exercises, covering an area in the Arabian Sea stretching from east of the Strait of Hormuz entrance to the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Aden. The day the maneuvers opened Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari told a press conference that the exercises were intended to show "Iran’s (…)

2012 will be the revolution in America. The American military with the people will finally replace the current government in America and hopefully bring some peace to this planet. I read this in the American republic Manifestum book I bought on the internet. It’s starting to circulate around the world. I wondered when America would be next on the replacement of government stage, like everywhere else…after all America government and business is the root of the world wide problem anyway. The (…)

Former military oppressor Luis Eduardo Baraldini, arrested and expelled by the Bolivian authorities, will be prosecuted in the Province of La Pampa, held responsible for more than 300 kidnappings followed by torture, during the military dictatorship, as informed by Télam on Tuesday.
Former Colonel Baraldini was in charge of the 1.4 Subzone of the military regime, and was wanted by Argentine courts since 2003, when he fled to Bolivia, where he lived under false identity.
Baraldini´s (…)

The taxpayer-funded Australian ABC has failed to report a petition by some of Australia’s most outstanding Jewish scholars denouncing and renouncing the racist and genocidal Apartheid Israeli “law of return” that is a key instrument in Apartheid Israel’s ongoing Palestinian Genocide. This is a further instance of egregious lying by omission by the Neocon American and Zionist Imperialist (NAZI)-beholden Australian ABC (see “ABC Censorship”: ).
The taxpayer-funded Australian Broadcasting (…)

China, Japan to Back Direct Trade of Currencies
By Toru Fujioka - Dec 26, 2011 4:55 AM GMT-0500
Japan and China will promote direct trading of the yen and yuan without using dollars and will encourage the development of a market for companies involved in the exchanges, the Japanese government said.
Japan will also apply to buy Chinese bonds next year, allowing the investment of renminbi that leaves China during the transactions, the Japanese government said in a statement after a (…)
