Reviewing F. William Engdahl's "Full Spectrum Dominance: Totalitarian Democracy in the New World Order:" Part I
by Stephen Lendman
For over 30 years, F. William Engdahl has been a leading researcher, economist, and analyst of the New World Order with extensive writing to his credit on energy, politics, and economics. He contributes regularly to business and other publications, is a frequent speaker on geopolitical, economic and energy issues, and is a distinguished Research Associate of the Centre for Research on Globalization.
Engdahl's two previous books include "A Century of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order" explaining that America's post-WW II dominance rests on two pillars and one commodity - unchallengeable military power and the dollar as the world's reserve currency along with the quest to control global oil and other energy resources.
Engdahl's other book is titled "Seeds of Destruction: The Hidden Agenda of Genetic Manipulation" on how four Anglo-American agribusiness giants plan world domination by patenting all life forms to force-feed GMO foods on everyone - even though eating them poses serious human health risks.
The Undeniable Desire for Freedom
Ogaden Online Editorial
The legitimate struggle for the self-determination of the Somali people of Ogaden led by the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF), has it's roots not in the organizations that preceded the ONLF but rather in the villages, towns and rural areas of Ogaden where a people denied educational opportunity, health care and the freedom to associate formulated a vision of what life would be like when their aspirations would be realized. This vision has been speculated on by many foreign pundits but very few have asked the people it most affects for answers.
ON BEING AN IMPERFECT FATHER AND CELEBRATING IT
Allen L Roland
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and he bends you with his might that his arrows may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; for even as he loves the arrow that flies, so he loves also the bow that is stable : Kahlil Gibran / The Prophet
I am the bow that has sent forth four children, as living arrows, into this imperfect world. I have been far from perfect as their Dad but I have always loved and cherished them on their separate flights.
SECURITY and Loose Canons
eileen fleming
USA, June 21, 2009-All that remains of the Orwellian "PEACE BE WITH YOU" sign on the Jerusalem side of The Wall that is choking Bethlehem are a few tatters at the top edge of the thirty foot high concrete edifice. The Israeli Minister of Tourism is replacing the image captured on the cover of my second book with bland views of the Old City.
One can even travel to Ben Gurion Airport and remain oblivious to the concrete separation wall which is obfuscated from view in Israel by faux painting and buildups of massive landscaping.
Ahmadinejad Re-elected: Israel and Obama’s Iran Puzzle
By Ramzy Baroud
The election victory of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is likely to complicate US President Barack Obama’s new approach to his country’s conflict with Iran. The reason behind the foreseen obstacle is neither the US nor Iran’s refusal to engage in future dialogue but rather Israel’s insistence on a hard-line approach to the problem.
Iran’s presidential elections on June 12 were positioned to represent another fight between Middle Eastern ‘moderates’ vs. ‘extremists’. That depiction, which conveniently divided the Middle East – according to the prevailing US foreign policy discourse - to pro-American and anti-American camps was hardly as clear in the Iranian case as it was in Palestine and most recently in Lebanon.
Fuck Compassion: We whack ’em and stack ’em!
By Jason Miller
Despite pleas to save the animals, Johnson County officials will employ sharpshooters and bow hunters to solve the problem of too many deer in Shawnee Mission Park.
–The Kansas City Star, June 17, 2009
Daniel Whitesel says he is forced to traverse a “literal minefield of deer poop” when he plays golf nearby.
He can watch from his home office as whitetail deer devastate his flowers and shrubs. “They walk down the street like taxpayers,” he said.
Twelve Angry White People: Jury Nullification in a Pennsylvania Coal Town
by Walter Brasch
Luis Eduardo Ramirez-Zavalo, 25, died in June 2008 after a beating by
a gang of drunken Shenandoah Valley Pa., High School football players.
The Schuylkill County, Pa., justice system managed to do something that insurance actuaries do with mixed results--it determined not only the penalty for threats to a human life, but also the value of a human life.
HALT CHENEY'S AND NOW OBAMA'S COVERT IRAN OPERATIONS
Allen L Roland
Protestor killed by Iran government forces (Twitter)
In March of 2002 Dick Cheney appointed his own daughter Elizabeth to head a shadow operation (ISOG) whose covert purpose was to fund dissident groups in Iran ~ money which may have been used to fund and arm terrorists. Obama has now evidently picked up where the Cheney's left off:
If you have any doubt that a shadow Cheney presidency existed during the last eight years that cast its evil over everything from the 9/11cover-up to Quantanamo ~ than picture Dick Cheney appointing his own daughter in 2002 to head up a secretive organization in Iran whose purpose was to fund terrorists ~ and which reported directly to Darth Vader himself, Dick Cheney. And why would Cheney appoint his own daughter ? Because she was the only person he could trust on his, self declared, journey to the dark side for she certainly would not testify against him. They both are now neck deep in deception and lies which is why they are openly defending their actions together on the mainstream TV circuit.

Views from Iran, e-mails from an Iranian
Emily Spence
(Tuesday, 16 June 2009) By Vahab, e-mails from an Iranian
Emily,
Internet very very slow here. Almost non-existent. Yesterday it was not connected at all. Also cell-phones are faulty most of the times. SMS messages are totally off.
Last night, they started to dismount satellite dishes from the roof tops, disconnecting Iranians from satellite TV (outer world). The religious dictatorship is trying to block any effective communication path between people inside Iran and between Iran and outside world.
