The deal just taking shape between Iraq’s Oil Ministry and four Western oil companies raises critical questions about the nature of the US invasion and occupation of Iraq — questions that should certainly be addressed by presidential candidates and seriously discussed in the United States, and of course in occupied Iraq, where it appears that the population has little if any role in determining the future of their country.

ABC NETWORKS SENDS OUT MEMO TO STEAL SHOW IDEAS

ABC actually sent out a memo telling executives to find show ideas from Europe they could take, so they would not have to pay licensing fees.

Maybe the saying "runs like a Cadillac" will outlive the company; maybe “As GM Goes, So Goes the Nation” has never been truer. GM’s future is bleak, analysts predict that GM may soon go broke as new car sales stumble.

First major wave from the economic collapse of the United States hits Canada
7 July 2008Half-Truths: One of the main reasons the economic collapse of the United States is catching many people by surprise is because our ‘elected leaders’ and the mainstream media continue to tell half-truths.
