  • Torture Worked for the Bush Cabal

    Bush’s ’Smoking Gun’ Witness Found Dead
    The cover-up of Bush-era crimes is taking a shocking but not unexpected turn. A fateful move has been made and it is certain to backfire.
    A prisoner who was horribly tortured in 2002 until he agreed - at the demand of Bush torturers - to say that al-Qaeda was linked to Saddam Hussein is suddenly dead. Several weeks ago, Human Rights Watch investigators discovered the missing inmate and talked to him. He had been secretly transferred by the (…)

    Bailouts and Boots By David Glenn Cox
    When Americans went to the polls last November they were given what appeared to be two clear choices. Either, a more of the same trickle down economics from an elderly Republican war hero so spineless as to waffle on his own statements within twenty fours hours of making them.
    Or a young and vigorous man who offered us hope. Barack Obama is very intelligent, very personable and engaging. After eight years of George Bush and Dick Cheney the Democrats (…)

    In her book, Siti Fatilah Supari describes her fight against the WHO and the neo-colonial efforts to deprive her country – as well as all other developing countries – of their sovereignty, their rights and their dignity. She accuses the rich industrial countries to treat the developing countries unequally and calls for transparency with (…)

    By Glenn Somerville
    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said on Friday it was time to review how regional Federal Reserve banks are governed to ensure the public feels confident no conflicts of interest are at play.
    Geithner was asked during a Reuters Television interview about the resignation on Thursday of Stephen Friedman, a member of Goldman Sachs Group Inc’s Board (…)

  • Far Beyond Torture: The Long Dark History
    8 May 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    The intrepid David Swanson digs up another damning memo written by that factotum of evil, Jay Bybee. This particular sinister scribbling did not involve the brutal torture of gulag captives, however. No, in this case, Jay had bigger fish to fry for his masters: the murder of more than a million people in a Hitlerian act of military aggression...
    And so we come back full-circle in the filthy, bloodsoaked, incestuous nest of American power politics. Bill Clinton is now regarded as a Bush (…)

  • Pro-war, pro-coal Australian PM Kevin Rudd "threw tantrum" in Occupied Afghanistan over a HAIRDRYER (!)
    8 May 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    Bellaciao readers would be amused to learn that warmonger, Obama lackey and ferociously pro-war, pro-coal, anti-environment Australian PM Kevin Rudd reportedly “threw a tantrum” over a HAIRDRYER while in Occupied Afghanistan with Australian troops recently.
    PM Kevin Rudd recently sent a further 500 troops to Occupied Afghanistan to continue the war against the Pathans and other Afghans (50% kids, 75% women and kids) that racist, colonialist, imperialist Britain started 160 years ago with (…)

    Criminalizing Criticism of Israel
    May 7, 2009
    On October 16, 2004, President George W. Bush signed the Israel Lobby’s bill, the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act. This legislation requires the US Department of State to monitor anti-semitism world wide.
    To monitor anti-semitism, it has to be defined. What is the definition? Basically, as defined by the Israel Lobby and Abe Foxman, it boils down to any criticism of Israel or Jews.
    Rahm Israel Emanuel hasn’t been mopping floors at the (…)

    Military-Industrial Complex Speech, Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1961
    My fellow Americans:
    Three days from now, after half a century in the service of our country, I shall lay down the responsibilities of office as, in traditional and solemn ceremony, the authority of the Presidency is vested in my successor.
    This evening I come to you with a message of leave-taking and farewell, and to share a few final thoughts with you, my countrymen.
    Like every other citizen, I wish the new President, (…)
