1923-Style Collapse Underway On a Global Scale
LaRouche
The creme-de-la creme of the international financial elite is descending on Washington, D.C. this week, for the annual meeting of the IMF-World Bank. They do so in an environment of utter panic and hysteria—panic and hysteria created by the death rattle of their global financial system, and by their own criminal incompetence to deal with it.
- "All signs of panic are there!"
- "We need squillions of dollars!"
- "You need a lot more firepower to be a circuit breaker!"
- "We're on the eve of a new crisis!"
- "We are entering a dangerous phase!"
- "We need a broader firewall!"
- "This is already a raging panic!"
“Embarrassing” Obama in free-fall as alley-cat morals kill peace process
Stuart Littlewood
No-one connected with the old discredited peace 'circus' should be allowed anywhere near the new quest for justice in the Holy Land. Too many are strangers to fair play and appear to share the morals and mentality of the alley-cat.
The only surprise about the Palestinians' bid for freedom at the United Nations was the panicky response of US president and the speed with which he jettisoned all pretence of integrity and political respectability.
Obama’s speech to the UN overflowed with Tel Aviv disinformation and was a brazen advertisement for his enslavement by Israel.
AIPAC's Ugly Agenda
by Stephen Lendman
AIPAC is an unregistered foreign agent representing Israel. Edward Said once called it "the most powerful and feared lobby in Washington."
Calling itself "America's Pro-Israel Lobby," it's represented Israeli interests since founded in 1953. In 1963, it was incorporated as a division of the American Zionist Council (AZC), its precursor.
For decades, it's been very successful subverting opposition to Israel's agenda. Virtually no one in Congress confronts it. Doing so would be a career-ender.
Netanyahu and Obama Spurn Peace
by Stephen Lendman
As a belligerent modern-day Sparta, Israel is a pariah state. Netanyahu exceeds the worst of Ariel Sharon.
His government is Israel's worst ever. His majority Knesset allies are rogue, racist criminals, operating outside international law.
His weak-kneed opposition goes along to get along. As a result, Palestinians suffer grievously. No relief whatever is in sight for them. Netanyahu's peace overtures hide his duplicitous intent to continue status quo injustice.
The Irvine 11: Guilty of Being Muslims in America
by Stephen Lendman
Post-9/11, America targeted Muslims ruthlessly for political advantage. Law-abiding citizens discovered they're living here at the wrong time.
Police state repression endangers growing millions, including Muslims for their faith, ethnicity, and forthrightness to confront injustice no one should tolerate.
Many lawlessly prosecuted stand out, including the Irvine 11. They were wrongfully targeted for exercising their fundamental First Amendment right without which all others are threatened.
No Peace or Justice in Our Time with Netanyahu
by Stephen Lendman
Like his Washington paymaster/partner, Netanyahu deplores peace. Initiating talks never worked before and won't now.
Speaking privately at the Clinton Global Initiative conference in New York, Bill Clinton said Netanyahu lost interest because Palestine has a president he controls, and normalizing relations with the Arab world is within reach.
"The Israelis always wanted two things that once it turned out they had," he said, it didn't seem so appealing to Mr. Netanuahu."
Obama's UN speech is unjust, immoral and dishonest
By Khalid Amayreh in occupied Jerusalem
President Obama's speech at the United Nation's General Assembly was probably appropriate for an opportunistic politician who sacrifices honesty, morality, and basic ethics for the sake of making some momentary profit here or there. But it was by all means inappropriate, to say the least, for a statesman, let alone the President of the strongest nation on earth.
Obama's excessive praise of Israel caricatured an insecure president that fears telling the truth, a leader that shakes at the very thought of uttering the "wrong words" even when these wrong words happen to represent the heart, soul and essence of the truth.
Resuming Peace Process Hypocrisy to Subvert Palestinian Statehood
by Stephen Lendman
On September 20, London Guardian writer Chris McGreal headlined, "Palestinian statehood: plan emerges to avoid UN showdown," saying:
Washington-led "(i)nternational efforts to forestall a showdown in the UN Security Council over the declaration of a Palestinian state are solidifying around a plan for (Abbas) to submit a request for recognition but (agree to) put (a vote) on hold while a new round of peace talks is launched."
State-Sponsored Murder: Official US Policy
by Stephen Lendman
Georgia's September 21 cold-blooded murder of Troy Anthony Davis symbolizes what's wrong with America.
Notably, the system at all levels is hopelessly corrupted and broken. The only option is tearing it down and starting over.
Doing it Venezuela's way under Chavez works. Both nations are constitutional worlds apart.
Ben Bella: Revolutionary Internationalist

A. Ben Bella: 92, but still vibrant.
Editors Note: With the US and its NATO accomplices once again bent on “repackaging” the Arab Maghreb and the Gulf region via overt and covert bloody interventions in Iraq, Libya, Bahrain, Egypt, Tunisia, Syria, and other nations, apparently a new age of colonialism has arrived.
Of course, chiefly for the benefit of the perennially bamboozled American public, the pretense that we’re doing this to secure peace, freedom, and democracy in the region will likely continue indefinitely. And the “War on Terror” will be trotted out as required to provide additional cover. After all, that’s what it was created for. In this context of egregious foreign policy lies supported by unprecedented levels of cynicism, it’s instructive to recall what these struggles really imply in the grander scheme of history, and few nations provide a better lesson than Algeria, whose war of liberation against the French (along with Indochina’s) was one of the most dramatic and brutal in the second half of the 20th Century. Above all, we need to remember the staggering costs represented by colonialism, whether of the “new” or old variety: in Iraq so far more than a million dead and counting, and a nation turned into a heap of rubble; in Algeria, too, well over a million and-a-half dead, plus countless other casualties of war, not to mention a heritage of violence, distrust, political fragility, and psychic wounds to last many generations. In Afghanistan and elsewhere a similar script holds, but that’s another story.
