Middle Class Rage Against the Government
The soaring, middle-class rage against government catastrophes, terrorism, and corruptions of all forms is in part due to the immense catastrophes they have seen government and Big Corporations working with government produce in front of their startled eyes over and over again. The Great Financial Crisis is certainly a colossal catastrophe they have seen crashing all around them, Government officials deny everything and try to blame it all on the local real estate guy or gal who worked with you to get a mortgage for your home. But even the terminally ignorant and dumb see that government did not prevent it and intelligent people are perfectly aware the government not only was the prime mover of it all by getting interest rates below zero in real terms and the government is now giving vast piles of their money to the Big Bank Perps, rewarding the corporate perps for the catastrophe they helped to create.

Blood Lust and Bragging Rights
We need the Second Amendment for our own protection and for our constitutional rights. If one right can be taken away or marginalized with regulation, so can all other rights. Americans are going to have a difficult time holding on to the Second Amendment. An armed population is not compatible with the police state that President Bush and the Republicans created and that President Obama and the Democrats have ratified. The danger to the Second Amendment is great enough without waving wildlife slaughter in the public’s face. The National Rifle Association and wildlife slaughter groups need to exercise judgment and not go out of the way to inflame feelings against guns.

The Orange Revolution, Peeled
Ukrainians demonstrating against alleged vote fraud in 2004
The Orange Revolution’s ignominious degeneration and ultimate rejection by the Ukrainian people is yet another example of a media-driven narrative, one created by ideology and a selective perception of the facts, crashing on the rocks of reality. Just like the "liberation" of Iraq was supposed to be a "cakewalk" culminating in the spread of democracy throughout the region, the so-called color revolutions of the post-Soviet era, in some cases directly supported and funded by the US government, were held up as sterling examples of the same liberatory impulse supposedly generated by the Bushian foreign policy of perpetual war. The "global democratic revolution," as Bush dubbed it in a speech before the National Endowment for Democracy, was on the march.

Liberals Get a War President of Their Very Own
We remain-and will throughout Obama’s presidency-an empire of military colonization, the goal for decades of neoconservatives and assorted liberal hawks. In anthropologist Hugh Gusterson’s wonderfully evocative words, "The U.S. is to military bases as Heinz is to ketchup." American forces are stationed at approximately 1,000 military bases in 120 countries at a cost topping $100 billion annually. Diego Garcia, a remote island in the Indian Ocean midway between Africa and Indonesia, is apparently so essential a base that 5,000 locals were thrown out of their homes so the U.S. could have yet another top-secret facility from which to conduct its perpetual wars.

Yemen and The Militarization of Strategic Waterways
Socotra is at the crossroads of the strategic naval waterways of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. It is of crucial importance to the US military. Among Washington's strategic objectives is the militarization of major sea ways. This strategic waterway links the Mediterranean to South Asia and the Far East, through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. It is a major transit route for oil tankers. A large share of China's industrial exports to Western Europe transits through this strategic waterway. Maritime trade from East and Southern Africa to Western Europe also transits within proximity of Socotra (Suqutra), through the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea. (see map below). A military base in Socotra could be used to oversee the movement of vessels including war ships in an out of the Gulf of Aden.

Diversity Is Strength! It’s Also Homicide-Prone Minorities In Los Angeles
The hubbub over whether the late Michael Jackson’s personal physician will turn himself into the Los Angeles Police Department on a charge of involuntary manslaughter is reminiscent of all those celebrated L.A. homicides of fact (for example, the O.J. Simpson and Phil Spector cases) and fiction (Chinatown and The Big Sleep). Yet the typical Los Angeles County homicide isn’t much at all like the glamorous murder mysteries seen on screen. Few killings take place in the Hollywood Hills or at the beach. Instead, homicides are concentrated in the vast urban plain south of Wilshire Boulevard.

Neo-Con Obama Administration Pushing Confrontation With Iran
In short, I don't believe the US will bet on Ahmadinejad's unpredictability to start a war. If they can goad him into something, so much the better, but if not, they will certainly and secretly give Israel the green light to strike. It's a one-two punch in the planning. Israel will strike with a limited pre-emptive strike on a nuclear facility. Iran will surely respond with missile attacks on Israel and perhaps US troops in Iraq. This will give the US the excuse to respond with disproportionate force that wipes out Iran's military, nuclear and civilian infrastructure. The result will be a neutered Iran which will quickly become an international welfare state not much better than Haiti--with no necessity of occupation forces.

The Second Wave of Foreclosures Will Hit This Year
As we have been forecasting for the last two years, the second wave of mortgage defaults and foreclosures will hit the economy this year. Not only will we have failure in prime loans and option-arm loans, but we are faced with a new crop of subprime and ALT-A loans put into motion by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and FHA. In addition, we find it of great interest that the FHA is changing the rules to purchase homes. That, of course, means less homes will be purchased.

This Time the Zionist Madmen Went Too Far
For the Palestinians who live in the narrow coastal strip of Gaza, the December 2008 Israeli invasion was a nightmare of unimaginable proportions: in the 22-day-long action 1,400 Gazans were killed, several hundred on the first day alone. More than 6,000 homes were destroyed or badly damaged. The cost of the destruction and disruption of economic life, in one of the worlds poorest areas, is estimated at more than $3 billion. And yet, while nothing should diminish recognition of Palestinian suffering through these frightful days, it is possible something redemptive will emerge from the tragedy of Gaza. For, as Norman Finkelstein details, in a concise work that melds cold anger with cool analysis, the profound injustice of the Israeli assault has been widely recognized by organizations impossible to brand as partial or extremist.

The Planning of War Behind Closed Doors

Istanbul was the site of the bloc's 2004 summit which accounted for the largest expansion in its 60-year history - seven new Eastern European nations - and its strengthening military partnerships with thirteen Middle Eastern and African nations under the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative.

The Free Market Fetish
As Ralph Gomory has made clear, economic theory has been shattered because there is no longer any connection between the profits of American companies and the welfare of Americans. The profits of American companies are derived from the cheap labor in offshored locations and are at the expense of the American work force. This dispossession of American labor has been heralded by offshoring’s pimps in the major universities as "the New Economy." The "New Economy" is a hoax like most everything else the bought-and-paid-for-media feeds to Americans. There is no new economy. There is an unemployed economy.

It Is Now Mathematically Impossible To Pay Off The U.S. National Debt
It is now mathematically impossible for the U.S. government to pay off the U.S. national debt. You see, the truth is that the U.S. government now owes more dollars than actually exist. If the U.S. government went out today and took every single penny from every single American bank, business and taxpayer, they still would not be able to pay off the national debt. And if they did that, obviously American society would stop functioning because nobody would have any money to buy or sell anything. And the U.S. government would still be massively in debt.

Blair's unusually frank remarks come as the issue of targeting Americans for lethal action has attracted more notice.

Budgets, War and Blind Ambition: The Limited Minds of the American Elite
What is most interesting here, of course, is not Sanger's noodle-scratching over imaginary numbers projected into an unknowable future, but his total and apparently completely unconscious adoption of the mindset of militarist empire. For as he puzzles and puzzles till his puzzler is sore on how in God's name the United States can possibly find any money at all to spend on bettering the lives of its citizens over the next 10 years, it becomes clear that Sanger -- like the rest of our political and media elite -- literally cannot conceive of an end to empire. Our elites and their courtiers literally cannot imagine life without a permanent war for global dominance, fueled by a gargantuan war machine spread across hundreds and hundreds of bases implanted in more than 100 countries.

Congressional Criminals Vote to Add $1.9 Trillion More Debt
The House on Thursday voted to allow the government to go $1.9 trillion deeper in debt - or about $6,000 more for every U.S. resident. The measure, approved 217-212, would raise the cap on federal borrowing to $14.3 trillion. That's enough to keep Congress from having to vote again before the November elections on an issue that is feeding a sense among voters that the government is spending too much and putting future generations under a mountain of debt to do it. Already, the accumulated debt amounts to roughly $40,000 per person. And the debt is increasingly held by foreign nations such as China.

Neo-Con Warlord Urges Obama to Bomb Iran
Obama’s attempts to "reset" his presidency will likely fail if he focuses on economics, where he is just one of many players. He needs a dramatic gesture to change the public perception of him as a light-weight, bumbling ideologue, preferably in an arena where the stakes are high, where he can take charge, and where he can trump expectations. Such an opportunity does exist: Obama can give orders for the U.S. military to destroy Iran’s nuclear-weapon capacity.

During his interview -- which was less of an interrogation and more like a cozy chat in an establishment gentlemen’s club -- Blair used the opportunity to rail against Iran, giving the impression that were he still prime minister that’s where he would be heading next. Iran, he said, was a country linked up with terrorist groups. He also blamed Iranian interference for the coalition’s post-invasion failures. It must be said that all of the above is cosmetic to the nitty-gritty of the inquiry’s raison d’etre: to discover whether or not Britain was dragged into a war of aggression, which the prime minister knew was illegal under international law.

Legendary author of hundreds of books and pamphlets demolishing the lies of warmaking mainstream media, historian Eustace Mullins died Tuesday, Feb. 2, at the home of his caretaker in a small town in Texas. Mullins, who would have been 87 in March, suffered a stroke three weeks ago in Columbus, Ohio. He had been on an extended tour of his admirers for much of the past year, visiting and chatting with many of his thousands of fans who jumped at the chance to buy his books from him in person. The author of such incendiary books as "Secrets of the Federal Reserve," "Murder by Injection," and "The Curse of Canaan," Mullins was harrassed by the FBI for almost a half century, and had one of his books burned in Germany in the 1950s. These stories are recounted in one of his books, "A Writ for Martyrs." A protege of the imprisoned patriotic poet Ezra Pound, Mullins compiled a well-researched corpus of works that detailed the passage down through time of a hereditary group of banker killers who have essentially ruled the world from behind the scenes since ancient times. "Eustace Mullins was the greatest political historian of the 20th century, and not just because he was not beholden to the power structure that deters candid reports about significant events, but because, guided by the greatest poet of the 20th century who was imprisoned for broadcasting for peace, his meticulous research eventually uncovered virtually every political secret of the last 400 years," said Internet essayist John Kaminski of Mullins’ passing. "It’s a pity so many people are afraid to believe what Mullins told them, because it was much more of the truth than has ever been seen in our schools or our media," Kaminski added. Funeral arrangements and appropriate memorial information have yet to be released.

Anti-White Totalitarian Trying to Shut Down American Renaissance Conference
Jeffrey Imm, who runs something called Responsibility for Equality and Liberty (REAL) has done his best to make it impossible for American Renaissance to hold its 2010 conference. His approach is the classic, authoritarian one of trying to silence those with whom he disagrees. On January 4, he publicized on his web page the location of the 2010 conference-which he described in hysterical terms-no doubt in the expectation that his fellow zealots would organize a campaign to intimidate the hotel. They did. Groups such as One People’s Project and Antifa urged their supporters to inundate the hotel with calls and threats of demonstrations. One fanatic even sneaked in and pushed inflammatory flyers under hotel room doors. The hotel buckled under the pressure, explaining to us that it feared for the safety of its employees.

National Strike Called For
The spark of Freedom is igniting within the hearts and minds of the people in America, as well as globally, and we all have the moral obligation to fan the flames. The time for taking our freedom for granted has passed. It is now time to stand for freedom individually and collectively, and make the sacrifices necessary in order to reclaim it. But it is easier than most of us know.

What Remains Must Be the Truth: 9/11 Revisited
Today, with both domestic and international problems, we tend to forget about the unresolved truths of yesterday that got us into the situations we’re involved in now. Important truths about 9/11 remain hidden. Who really benefited from 9/11? We forget that Israel was/is the major beneficiary of 9/11. How did Israel benefit? Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, believed that Iraq could have weapons of mass destruction; and Israel wanted Iraq neutralized before it had a chance to use WMDs against Israel.

Taxpayers Pay $101,000 for Pelosi's In-Flight 'Food, Booze'
It reads like a dream order for a wild frat party: Maker's Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey's Irish Crème, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey ... and Corona beer. But that single receipt makes up just part of the more than $101,000 taxpayers paid for "in-flight services" - including food and liquor, for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trips on Air Force jets over the last two years. That's almost $1,000 per week.

Colorado Springs Cuts into Services Considered Basic by Many
This tax-averse city is about to learn what it looks and feels like when budget cuts slash services most Americans consider part of the urban fabric. More than a third of the streetlights in Colorado Springs will go dark Monday. The police helicopters are for sale on the Internet. The city is dumping firefighting jobs, a vice team, burglary investigators, beat cops - dozens of police and fire positions will go unfilled. The parks department removed trash cans last week, replacing them with signs urging users to pack out their own litter. Neighbors are encouraged to bring their own lawn mowers to local green spaces, because parks workers will mow them only once every two weeks. If that. Water cutbacks mean most parks will be dead, brown turf by July; the flower and fertilizer budget is zero. City recreation centers, indoor and outdoor pools, and a handful of museums will close for good March 31 unless they find private funding to stay open. Buses no longer run on evenings and weekends. The city won't pay for any street paving, relying instead on a regional authority that can meet only about 10 percent of the need.

From Conservative Radio Shock Jock To 'Defensor De La Raza' - The Ben Reed Story
This is the story of a conservative white American who learned Spanish, moved to Mexico, married a Mexican, and became an immigration activist. Is it my story? It could be. But it is also the story of talk radio host Benjamin Reed. The difference between us is that my experience led me to believe that we need to protect our border and not merge with Mexico. Ben Reed's experience resulted in his becoming a rabid open borders proponent and a "Defensor de la Raza". Ben Reed now works openly to encourage illegal immigration, subvert U.S. immigration law and promote the Mexicanization of the U.S.A.

What? Us Repent?
Now, gentle reader, I understand that calls for repentance are unpopular in a nation that is full of patriot people. Humanists will continue to seek a political solution but at this point Christians should begin to understand that politics instead of being a solution to God’s anger is one of the causes. There are no human solutions to the degradation we have created. We are a wicked people living in a wicked nation and we are still puffed up with unwarranted, arrogant patriotism.

Could Vancouver be the Next 9/11?
In my opinion, an attack on the Olympics while it is being highly guarded would be the perfect way to bring in more police state measure and to more fully integrate the US and Canada into a functioning North American Union. But the question remains, is that really what is happening right now? I hope you will look at the information and make up your own mind as to what pattern you see unfolding, any information provided is for analytical and educational purposes only and is meant to raise public awareness of current events and the potential dangers they could present.

Will the Dragon Awake?
While the power of Taiwan’s lobby has long since waned, the arms manufacturers who derive a regular source of income from the provisions of the Taiwan Relations Act - Lockheed-Martin, United Technologies, Boeing, and Raytheon - employ a powerful Washington lobby that doubtless had a major hand in getting the go-ahead for the $6.4 billion arms deal. That’s what Washington is all about: the national interest has little if anything to do with it. As long as the merchants of death make huge profits - while the rest of the country is slipping into an economic depression - that’s all anyone in the Imperial City cares about.

Another U.S. War? Obama Threatens China and Iran
Obama’s polices against China have been far more aggressive than Bush’s, making a farce out of his campaign promises of a more peaceful foreign policy. Obama’s same, deceitful approach is used in South America, where he promised "non-intervention" and then proceeded to build military bases in Colombia on Venezuela’s border, while giving a green light to the coup in Honduras.

We've Been Neo-Conned
by Ron Paul. The modern-day, limited-government movement has been co-opted. The conservatives have failed in their effort to shrink the size of government. There has not been, nor will there soon be, a conservative revolution in Washington. Political party control of the federal government has changed, but the inexorable growth in the size and scope of government has continued unabated. The liberal arguments for limited government in personal affairs and foreign military adventurism were never seriously considered as part of this revolution.

TPS For Haitians Will Cost Obama Florida In 2012 -And The Election
I’m looking far into the future, November 2012 to be exact. And I see trouble for President Barack Obama’s reelection prospects. Unlike the mainstream media, which ties Obama’s sinking popularity to his health care fiasco and his radical Democratic agenda, I detect a third problem even more insurmountable. All three rolled together may be more than Obama can overcome. Obama’s biggest blunder is Temporary Protected Status for Haitians living illegally in the U.S. It’s a political miscalculation far greater than his health care bumbling.

'Proud Racist' Comment Roils Santa Clarita
A Santa Clarita councilman’s shout-out at a recent anti-illegal immigration rally that he is a "proud racist" has ignited an angry war of words in a suburban community over whether the longtime civic leader is a hatemonger who should be driven from office or a patriot unafraid to speak out for fellow Americans. Bob Kellar, a veteran councilman and two-time mayor, said his words have been taken out of context, but he declined to offer an apology at a City Council meeting Tuesday night. But the remark, which was posted in a video on You Tube and quickly spread across the blogosphere, has set off a firestorm. As protesters carrying signs milled outside the council meeting, dozens of Santa Clarita residents jumped on the issue. Many applauded Kellar when he strode into the meeting.

Remember the Illegal Destruction of Iraq?
Still, one can barely even imagine George Bush and Dick Cheney being hauled before an investigative body and forced, under oath, to testify publicly about what they did as a means of determining the legality or illegality of that war. Doing that would fundamentally conflict with two leading principles in American political life: (1) our highest political leaders must never be accountable for actions they take while in power; and (2) whether something they do is "illegal" -- especially the starting of wars -- is utterly irrelevant.

Secret Banking Cabal Emerges From AIG Shadows
The idea of secret banking cabals that control the country and global economy are a given among conspiracy theorists who stockpile ammo, bottled water and peanut butter. After this week’s congressional hearing into the bailout of American International Group Inc., you have to wonder if those folks are crazy after all. Wednesday’s hearing described a secretive group deploying billions of dollars to favored banks, operating with little oversight by the public or elected officials.

The State of the Empire
The American sphere of influence - the structure of which is comprised an "empire of bases," in Chalmers Johnson’s phrase - has reached the outer limits of its possible expansion. We now preside over a network of 737 known US bases that rings the globe, each a possible launching pad for the projection of American military power anywhere in the world at a moment’s notice. The sustainability of this project, however, has always been challenged by anti-interventionists on the right as well as the left, and today we are seeing the direst of their predictions fulfilled on a daily basis.

Dictatorship Watch -- None of Your Business!
You may not have heard of the American Community Survey, but you will. The national census, which historically is taken every ten years, has expanded to quench the federal bureaucracy’s ever-growing thirst to govern every aspect of American life. The new survey, unlike the traditional census, is taken each and every year at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars. And it’s not brief. It contains 24 pages of intrusive questions concerning matters that simply are none of the government’s business, including your job, your income, your physical and emotional heath, your family status, your dwelling, and your intimate personal habits.

Dictatorship Watch -- TSA Funding Airport Mind-Reading Scanners
Amid the media furor over the attempted Christmas Day attacks and a renewed political focus on enhancing airport security, attention is turning to a technological advancement that will have civil rights activists -- or, for that matter, anyone with a secret --seriously worried: Mind-reading machines. "As far-fetched as that sounds, systems that aim to get inside an evildoer's head are among the proposals floated by security experts thinking beyond the X-ray machines and metal detectors used on millions of passengers and bags each year," AP's Michael Tarm reports. Tarm focuses on an Israeli company called WeCU Technologies (as in "we see you"), which is building a system that would turn airport waiting areas into arenas for Pavlovian behavioral tests.

The soaring, middle-class rage against government catastrophes, terrorism, and corruptions of all forms is in part due to the immense catastrophes they have seen government and Big Corporations working with government produce in front of their startled eyes over and over again. The Great Financial Crisis is certainly a colossal catastrophe they have seen crashing all around them, Government officials deny everything and try to blame it all on the local real estate guy or gal who worked with you to get a mortgage for your home. But even the terminally ignorant and dumb see that government did not prevent it and intelligent people are perfectly aware the government not only was the prime mover of it all by getting interest rates below zero in real terms and the government is now giving vast piles of their money to the Big Bank Perps, rewarding the corporate perps for the catastrophe they helped to create. http://www.lewrockwell.com/douglas/douglas31.1.html
