Although that summit did take place as scheduled, and important decisions were reached by (…)

    By WILL WEISSERT AP Writer for Global research
    Fidel Castro wrote Tuesday President Bush is threatening the world with nuclear war and famine — an attack on Washington a day before the White House plans to announce new plans to draw Cuba away from communism.
    "The danger of a massive world famine is aggravated by Mr. Bush’s recent initiative to transform foods into fuel," Castro wrote in Cuban news media, referring to U.S. support for using corn and other food crops to (…)

  • Bush Says Missile Defense ‘Urgent’ In EUROPE
    23 October 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    Washington - US President George W Bush said Tuesday there was an “urgent” need to deploy a missile-defence system to Eastern Europe because of Iran’s growing ballistic missile capability. “Iran is pursuing the technology that could be used to produce nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles of increasing range that could deliver them,” Bush said.”The need for missile defence in Europe is real, and I believe it’s urgent,” Bush said in a speech at the National Defence University in (…)

    Mired in the disastrous Iraq quagmire, opposed by a majority of Americans, George W. Bush has reached new depths of reckless, belligerent bellowing. At a recent news conference, he volunteered that he told our allies that if they’re “interested in avoiding World War III,” Iran must be prevented from both developing a nuclear weapon or having “the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon.”
    To what level of political insanity has this Washington (…)

  • "American" Afghanistan’s Three Major Crops: Opium, Human Organs and Children

    I just heard an eyewitness account of life in Afghanistan that curdled my blood. Have you heard similar reports? "Since the American takeover of Afghanistan, the major crops there are now opium, human organs and children." What is the lowest denominator that human beings can sink to? It’s all happening in American Afghanistan.
    Of course we know about the secret torture chambers that American and Pakistani contractors have set up there. But do you know why they are there? "People are being (…)

  • SCOTT RITTER : ON THE EVE OF DESTRUCTION
    23 October 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    Don’t worry, the White House is telling us. The world’s most powerful leader was simply making a rhetorical point. At a White House press conference last week, just in case you haven’t heard, President Bush informed the American people that he had told world leaders “if you’re interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing [Iran] from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon.” World War III. That is certainly some rhetorical point, (…)

  • Your Papers Please!
    22 October 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Alan Stang
    By now we are all used to how Washington works. The conspiracy for world government concocts and announces an emergency. It could be military. Someone “has attacked us.” It could be medical. “Millions of Americans lack health care. Or there is an epidemic.” It could be a natural disaster, like a hurricane. Or, maybe it is economic or cultural. “Women routinely are abused. They earn only a fraction of a man’s pay. Black people are deprived. Latinos are insulted.” Et cetera and (…)

    Pathocracy is a disease of great social movements followed by entire societies, nations, and empires. In the course of human history, it has affected social, political, and religious movements as well as the accompanying ideologies… and turned them into caricatures of (…)

    Incident Mar’s Maher By David Glenn Cox
    There’s the edge and then there’s the edge and then there’s the corporate edge. Bill Maher has made a name for himself in television with his edgy late night program Politically Incorrect but due to nervous network executives and fears of sponsor’s blowback the show was canceled. Then it was resurrected in a later time slot and with a different network. But again the show was hobbled by the network execs and quietly folded.
    But Maher returned on (…)

    The reality of NSPD-51 is almost as bad as the paranoia.
    Posted Friday, Oct. 19, 2007
    Oh, god. I’m reluctant to write this particular column. I’ve been scarred by this kind of story before. I’ve learned that it’s difficult to write about the sources of paranoia without spreading paranoia.
    But the subject, NSPD-51—that’s National Security Presidential Directive 51—and the attendant explosion of blogospheric paranoia about it deserve attention. Even if you don’t believe, as I don’t, that (…)
