Just Say No... To Banks
Sancho Jones
Greetings fellow Slaves, and those who hide in Ignorance thinking otherwise!
No matter which side of the tracks, or which side of life most of us here are from; we all agree that things are really wrong with society, and the direction as a whole. We've bailed out the banks beginning with the Bush Regime, and continued on into the Obama Regime; now the truth that the banks who were in "dire straits" now are showing record profits never before seen. It is looking like the government, the banks, and the Securities, and Exchange have pulled off the grandest Ponzi scheme in the history of all mankind! So what are **YOU** going to do? Sit back until it's your house, and what's left of your pension stolen before wishing YOU *had* stood up? At that point YOU will have no choice, but to become an indigent person. Is the bank to blame at this point, the government, or their complete fraud protection agencies, or are YOU to blame? At that point, I have no pity for YOU, or anyone else; as you are to blame, because YOU didn't proactively stand up against these bastards; these Internationalists who cram National pride down all of our throats!
Mr. Obama, Do You Believe Us Now?
By Timothy V. Gatto
I read about how outraged President Obama was with the Supreme Court ruling that allowed corporate money into the election campaigns without limits. I too am outraged. This country, for decades has been run by special interests for special interests, the public be damned. That includes Barack Obama’s Administration and the current Congress.
TPLF Militias and Civilians Fought a Pitched Battle in Shiniile
Ogaden Online
Reports reaching the Ogaden Online service desk from the city of Diridhaba in the province of Shiniile confirm the existence of a recent pitched battle that took place between the Tigrian People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) militias stationed in the area and the local citizenry.
It is reported that towards the end of last week, the civilians held an area wide demonstration to protest the recent confiscation by the TPLF militias of a fertile agricultural land estimated at 60,000 hectares. There were rumors within the city and its surroundings that the confiscated land was being given to Ethiopians migrating from the highlands. However, reliable sources within the TPLF militias and in Addis Ababa intimated that the land was clandestinely sold to a Chinese consortium.
Manchurian Candidates: Supreme Court allows China and others unlimited spending in US elections
By Greg Palast
In today's Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Court ruled that corporations should be treated the same as "natural persons", i.e. humans. Well, in that case, expect the Supreme Court to next rule that Wal-Mart can run for President.
The ruling, which junks federal laws that now bar corporations from stuffing campaign coffers, will not, as progressives fear, cause an avalanche of corporate cash into politics. Sadly, that's already happened: we have been snowed under by tens of millions of dollars given through corporate PACs and "bundling" of individual contributions from corporate pay-rollers.
The United States of Corporate America: From Democracy to Plutocracy
Rodrigue Tremblay
"The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men."
Plato, ancient Greek philosopher
...“The 20th century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: The growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy.”
Alex Carey, Australian social scientist
“The most effective way to restrict democracy is to transfer decision-making from the public arena to unaccountable institutions: kings and princes, priestly castes, military juntas, party dictatorships, or modern corporations.” - Noam Chomsky, M.I.T. emeritus Professor of Linguistics
THE HORROR OF HAITI: WHAT THE PRESS COVERAGE TELLS US
John Chuckman
It is relentless, the pictures of terror-stricken people, broken limbs, and bloated dead, and many of us cannot stand to see or hear more.
One has to ask: what are we to do with such information?
Create pressure on governments to keep the assistance flowing? Perhaps, but there is no shortage of assistance being sent to Haiti. There is however a huge problem in Haiti’s limited ability to absorb the assistance.
INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT COMPLAINT FILED AGAINST BUSH, CHENEY, RUMSFELD, TENET, RICE AND GONZALES; INTERNATIONAL ARREST WARRANTS REQUESTED
Francis A. Boyle
Champaign, U.S.A./The Hague, Netherlands (19 Jan 2010). -- Professor Francis A. Boyle of the University of Illinois College of Law in Champaign, U.S.A. has filed a Complaint with the Prosecutor for the International Criminal Court (I.C.C.) in The Hague against U.S. citizens George W. Bush, Richard Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, George Tenet, Condoleezza Rice, and Alberto Gonzales (the “Accused”) for their criminal policy and practice of “extraordinary rendition” perpetrated upon about 100 human beings. This term is really their euphemism for the enforced disappearance of persons and their consequent torture. This criminal policy and practice by the Accused constitute Crimes against Humanity in violation of the Rome Statute establishing the I.C.C.
Truth and Consequences: 'A Conspiracy of Rich Men'
by Len Hart, The Existentialist Cowboy
Every criminal thinks he will get away with it. Every criminal hides the truth. Every criminal has a cover story. 911 is Bush's 'cover story'. The FBI has stated that there is no hard evidence to connect Bin Laden with 911. The 'official' conspiracy theory of 911 is an absurd and ridiculous fabrication believed only by idiots, a bullshit cover story designed to shock, awe and confuse.
It did this with its sheer audacity and vainglorious hubris. We should not be surprised, nor shocked, nor awed! Every criminal lies about his crime. We should have expected no less, nor more from Bush, a common liar and criminal.
The Lessons of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS)
by Stephen Lendman
Established in 1989, the MA'AN Development Center is "an independent Palestinian development and training institution....work(ing) towards sustainable human development in Palestine" through its various programs. On October 31, it released a publication on the Palestinian BDS campaign titled, "Boycott, Divestment, & Sanctions: Lessons learned in effective solidarity."
It's another of the many BDS initiatives multiplying to support Palestine. In July 2005, a coalition of 171 Palestinian Civil Society organizations created the global movement for "Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel Until it Complies with International Law and Universal Principles of Human Rights" for Occupied Palestine, Israeli Arabs, and Palestinian diaspora refugees.
Why Martha Lost
by Daniel Patrick Welch
While US Democrats are shocked at the surprising vulnerablity of Ted Kennedy's Senate seat--the Liberal Lion of the Senate--US observer Daniel Patrick Welch, who lives in and writes from Kennedy's home state, is underwhelmed. Democrats have foolishly ceded the populist impulse to the right, and are now reaping what they have sown.
