Libya: David Cameron's 2 Billion Pound Nightmare
By Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey
What do you get when a wannabe imperialist invents a war to get out of trouble at home, straying into deep waters that he neither controls nor understands, getting embroiled in an internecine tribal conflict that spins out of control? The answer to this question is the place where the UK’s David Cameron finds himself now: a 2-bn. pound nightmare.
Not so many months ago, we had David Cameron and William Hague declaring that the Libya Question was “not about removing Gaddafi” and that all it would take would be an immediate ceasefire from the Libyan Armed Forces. Not so many months ago we had David Cameron and William Hague declaring that the war would cost in the region of 200 million pounds, that there would be no NATO boots on the ground and that NATO would not arm the “rebels”.
Call for DOJ to Investigate Clarence Thomas
By Andrew Kreig
Originally published at the
Justice Integrity Project
Twenty Democratic members of Congress wrote federal judicial authorities on Sept. 29 to request a formal Justice Department probe of Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas for long-term failures to disclose junkets, other gifts and income.
A coalition of both black and white Democrats told the Judicial Conference of the United States that it is required by law to seek a Justice Department investigation of the new allegations against Thomas and his wife, the Republican political activist Virginia Lamp Thomas. Most of the allegations became public this year. They involve claims of undisclosed gifts, junkets, income and other conflicts, along with the justice's failure to report his wife's earnings on annual judicial disclosure forms that he signed under oath.
“Due to the simplicity of the disclosure requirements, along with Justice Thomas’s high level of legal training and experience,” said the congressional letter to the conference secretary James C. Duff, “it is reasonable to infer that his failure to disclose his wife’s income for two decades was willful, and the Judicial Conference has a non-discretionary duty to refer this case to the Department of Justice.” To be sure, the 20 signatures are relatively few from a 435-member, Republican-run House. Their names are here. Still, the letter marks a significant step in clarifying a potential criminal component to what Thomas defenders and the nation's timid watchdog institutions often trivialize as either oversights by a busy public servant or potential “ethics” issues that have scant remedy as a practical matter.
IT’S REALLY QUITE SIMPLE ~ IT’S ALL ABOUT LOVE
Allen L Roland
Now that science has demonstrated that light may not be the one constant of the Universe at 186,292 miles per second ~ perhaps it’s time to recognize that a Unified field of love and soul consciousness is the one constant of the universe for within this field of innate connectedness, which we all once knew as a child, there is no time and space and all the forces of nature are merely conditions of state:
In a paper published on Thursday, September 22, 2011, Scientists at the world’s largest physics lab in Geneva, Switzerland reported the apparent discovery of particles traveling faster than the speed of light. The researchers described their experiment, which seems to show that a beam of neutrinos traveling through the Earth arrived at a detector some 60 nanoseconds faster than light would take to travel the same distance ~ as AP reported “The scientists fired a beam of neutrinos 454 miles underground from Geneva to Italy, They found it traveled 60 nano seconds faster than light ~ that’s 60 billionths of a second, a time no brain could register.” See report ~ http://www.zdnet.com/news/particles-move-faster-than-light/6303330

By Rady Ananda
For the past 35 years, Project Censored has published an annual collection of the top 25 censored news stories. In the 2012 book edition, just released this September, my article, Atmospheric Geoengineering: Weather Manipulation, Contrails and Chemtrails, ranks as the 9th most censored story in the United States.
Originally published at the Centre for Research on Globalization in July 2010, an updated version at COTO Report has seen over 15,000 page views as of this writing. The article is widely posted across the world in several English and non-English speaking countries, giving it far broader readership than we’ll ever know, but likely over a million.
The ‘People’s Microphone’
By Pablo Ouziel
With the current ‘Audacity of Hope’ entering its terminal phase, Americans engaged in social movement activity are finally catching up with their brothers and sisters in other parts of the World. What took a long time to flourish – despite the numerous calls from academics and activists from within the United States and from outside of its shores – has finally erupted into what is rapidly becoming the turning point in the relationship between people and markets (and people and government), at the heart of America’s unstable empire.
Wall street is now occupied and global indignation against plutocratic rule has reached its climax, it has come face to face with its source. Where things will go from here nobody can predict, that is the wonderful thing about civil disobedience, once its praxis enters the realm of actuality, it takes up a position in the social space, and it brings to life a dormant public domain, in which a multiplicity of voices dialogically determine collective creative actions to undertake.
Obstructing Palestinian Statehood Begins
by Stephen Lendman
On September 23 in New York, a State Department "Special Briefing" was held. An unnamed "Senior Administration Official" commented on the Quartet's Palestinian statehood proposal, saying:
"As the Palestinians develop(ed) their own ideas of what was necessary in terms of (petitioning the UN), we were intensively engaged with them in providing ideas for an alternative path."
Imploding Bubble Economies
by Stephen Lendman
Economic meltdown comes in stages. Recognition takes longer. Tout TV pundits stay in denial longest, calling crisis conditions a normal correction.
Reality suggests otherwise with US unemployment approaching 23%, home foreclosures multiplying, and poverty levels double or more official distorted numbers that artificially hold them down.

Economic hit man of India
Arun Shrivastava CMC
Classical economic hit men [EHM] were trained sociopaths; they destroyed a target country with massive corruption of an installed elite and plunder of its resources and eventually the viability as a sovereign entity. It seems that the post modern home-grown EHMs, like the ‘globally respected’ Indian Prime Minister, are far more dangerous than any of the previous generations that ever strode any country in the past. Global respectability aside, he heads the most corrupt regime India has ever seen and has compromised national security itself.
Ahmad Qatamesh: Israeli Prisoner of Conscience
by Stephen Lendman
On April 21, 2011 at 2:00AM, Israeli soldiers arrested Qatamesh at his brother's Ramallah home.
An hour earlier, his wife (Suha), daughter (Hanin), and two female relatives were held hostage to force his surrender.
At gunpoint, they forced Hanin to call him. When connected, a soldier threatened to hold his family hostage and destroy his house if he didn't surrender.
On May 2, in an Electronic Intifada article, Hanin recounted her ordeal, saying:
After breaking in and occupying their home, "(t)hey pointed their machine guns at us and told us they wanted to search the house."
"After a futile search, the soldiers went to the apartment right above ours whose owners - US citizens - were away. They knocked down the main door and wrecked the place."
