Aimlessly we are!!!
Najwa Sheikh Ahmed
The place where you live and the circumstances surround your daily life force you sometimes to endure great pain that overwhelmed you squash your heart, conquer your mind, and swallow your soul you to the darkest sides in your life. With such feelings, and state of mind you will be standing helplessly, paralyzed, unable to do any thing, or to make any kind of reaction, expect of a voiceless scream that even increases your pain, and leaving you in a great loss of time, place, and even your own humanity.
Russia and Georgia: Caucasian calculus
Eric Walberg
Georgia is to Russia as Columbia is to Venezuela, and Kaidanow spells trouble, analyses:
War clouds refuse to disperse a year after Georgia waged war against Russia. On the anniversary of Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili's ill-fated invasion of South Ossetia 8 August, Russian President Dmitri Medvedev warned: "Georgia does not stop threatening to restore its 'territorial integrity' by force. Armed forces are concentrated at the borders near Abkhazia and South Ossetia, and provocations are committed," including renewed Georgian shelling of the South Ossetian capital Tskhinvali.
Are we really cattle?
Peter Chamberlin
[Photo: RFID cattle ear tags] Have we really become “We the sheeple” or are we still human beings? The planet is dying under the thrall of a small minority of men who think of the rest of the human race as “cattle,” livestock for them to buy and sell.
The ruling class behaves much like a spoiled child, if they don’t get to have everything their way all of the time, they throw this massive temper tantrum and threaten to upset the whole game. They have gotten their way in everything for so long that they have fallen under the spell of their own propaganda. They believe that we are sub-human animals, who should be herded into the best outcome possible. But, have the rest of us begun to accept this as well?
As members of the human herd, most of us recoil at the “bovinian” suggestion, but consider just how much we do behave like a herd. We willingly accept being treated like a herd, trusting our lives to politicians because we appreciate not having to make hard decisions for ourselves, being contented as cows, as our leaders and their hired hands drive us down a path to destruction, for the sake of them making a few dollars more in profit.
Liars, Crooks and Idiots: Who Wants Obama to Fail and Why
by Len Hart, The Existentialist Cowboy
In the wake of Bush's utter failures, lies, and crimes, the left-wing, by rights, should be tucking tail and seeking cover! Not so --Rush Limbaugh, to be expected of a crooked idiot has said he hopes Obama fails. Others have picked up the mantra!
It has been my experience in life, journalism and politics that two things among all others makes one miserable: 1) just wanting to stay alive, and 2) wishing failure or hardship upon someone else upon one's on evil, vile motives. My response: the GOP does not deserve to survive as a party, and, secondly, the GOP rise upon the backs of all those people for whom the GOP wish and, in fact, inflicted hardships.
The GOP shares this much with Nazis and other parties totalitarian inclined: the GOP cannot tell the truth and the truth is that it does not represent the electorate but a shrinking elite which amounts --last time I checked --to some 1 percent of the entire population and shrinking. They make up the rest by lying about their real intentions. Even then, they are a minority of about 30 to 40 percent hardcore who share two characteristics:
Americans: Serfs Ruled by Oligarchs
Paul Craig Roberts
"In a little time [there will be] no middling sort. We shall have a few, and but a very few Lords, and all the rest beggars."—R.L. Bushman
"Rapidly you are dividing into two classes--extreme rich and extreme poor."—"Brutus"
Americans think that they have "freedom and democracy" and that politicians are held accountable by elections. The fact of the matter is that the US is ruled by powerful interest groups who control politicians with campaign contributions. Our real rulers are an oligarchy of financial and military/security interests and AIPAC, which influences US foreign policy for the benefit of Israel. -Have a look at economic policy. It is being run for the benefit of large financial concerns, such as Goldman Sachs.
9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA A Coup Against World Civilization
Webster Tarpley
[Webster Tarpley made two presentations to the International Citizens' Inquiry Into 9/11 in Toronto in May 2004, entitled The 9/11 Terror Fraud: A Coup Against World Civilization - Parts One and Two.
This transcript is abstracted from Part One. The complete versions of both presentations are available on DVD from GlobalOutlook.ca.]
So rushing ahead, let's just remember that despite the activities of this pseudo Commission, 'Cover-up Commission' as it has been termed, there's absolutely no proof of any of the main allegations. There's absolutely no documentary serious proof of al Qaeda, bin Laden, the 19 [hijackers], Atta and so forth. -There is no proven connection to Afghanistan, no proof of who the hijackers were, if there were any hijackers. There's no proof of foreign origin and nobody has ever been convicted for anything in a fair trial. One of the first skeptics was former German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt who said it is wrong to invoke the NATO Article 5 calling for collective self defense because it has never been proven that the attacks came from outside of the United States. So the entire NATO Council was stampeded under the results of these events.
Israel threatens Lebanon and Obama

Part II: AIPAC sends in the clowns
Suddenly they were all over the place, arriving not as singles but in battalions. Many, like Maryland’s 5th District Rep. Steny Hoyer had been to Israel nearly a dozen times; career stalwarts once more showing fealty to Israel’s brutal occupation of Palestine while lamely telling their constituents that they were on a legitimate ‘fact finding mission.” For many, their real purpose was to signal their President that there must be no change in the US policy of coddling Israel’s increasingly Apartheid regime.
The brutal truth about America’s healthcare
The Second Wave of The Depression: Hyperinflation Likely
By Webster Tarpley
The second wave of the world economic depression is coming soon. Larry Summers, the economics czar of the Wall Street puppet regime currently in power in Washington, recently confessed to the Financial Times in an unguarded moment: "I don't think the worst is over .." A few weeks earlier, Jacques Attali, who served in the 1980s as the main economics adviser to French President Mitterrand, told an audience at the International Economic and Financial Forum (FIEF) in Paris that the world might well soon face a planetary Weimar "in the form of a hyperinflationary depression similar to the German events of 1922 - 1923.
Reinventing No Child Left Behind
by Stephen Lendman
Enacted on January 8, 2002, the 2001 No Child Left Behind Act's (NCLB) sponsors claimed it would close the achievement gap between inner city and rural schools and more affluent suburban ones by setting high reading and math standards, then testing to assure they're achieved. However, the law's real aim is to commodify public education, end government responsibility for it, and make it another business profit center.
Renewing NCLB stalled in both houses of Congress for good reason. It's long on testing, school choice, and market-based reforms, but short on real achievement. It's built around rote learning, standardized tests, requiring teachers to teach to the test, assessing results by Average Yearly Progress (AYP) scores, and punishing failure by firing teachers and principals, closing schools, and transforming them from public to charter or for-profit ones.
In other words, it's a thinly veiled scheme to privatize public education, control costs, run schools by marketplace rules, decide what's best for students based on bottom-line considerations, and end a 374 year public education tradition in America.
