Let Us Celebrate the Ignorance Created by 9-11
By Mohamed Kamel
While some were preparing a new moral attack against Muslims and Islam on the 10th anniversary of 9-11, Oslo was the stage of 2 horrific attacks in a few hours. A quick arrest was made and charges have been presented to court but it will remain limited as there will be no mass arrests or labeling to a specific faith or group, because they are not Muslims or Arabs.
Nothing new, it starts usually with accusing Muslims then refers it to a lunatic inpidual, the same thing happened in Oklahoma City on April 19th, 1995. There were no mass arrests and the right wing remained defined in refusing gun control. Because they believe that freedom shouldn’t be compromised because of inpidual acts. This inpidual can be a single or a plural, as long as they are not THEM.
Gilad Atzmon: Massacre in Norway-- More About the Jewish Right Wing Connection
By Gilad Atzmon
Thanks to respected anti-Zionist Jeff Blankfort (who provided me with a crucial link) I have now learned that, just one day before last Friday’s Massacre in Norway, former Trotsky-ite turned neo-con David Horowitz carried an article by Joseph Klein in his Front Page magazine, entitled "The Quislings of Norway," which might as well have provided mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik with all the motivation he needed to commit his crime.
US Congress Loves Being Lied to About the Israel-Palestine Conflict... When the Truth is so Easy to Discover
By Stuart Littlewood
Here in the UK we have so many craven politicians paying homage to the likes of Murdoch and playing stooge to the pro-Israel lobby that there’s little time to take much interest in US politics. So I apologise to American friends for briefly intruding on their grief; but somebody has sent me a copy of a letter from a US Congresswoman to one of her constituents.
10 Reasons Why Gold Is The Gut Reaction And Why Silver Is The Smart Decision
By Silver Shield
We are at the beginning of a major shift out of paper assets into real assets. Those that are starting to come to this revelation have no real understanding what they are doing when they are buying gold. Sure they might get that it is rare and might remember their grandfather saying buy to gold, but they have not gone through the educational process necessary to truly grasp what they are doing. When I wanted to get out of paper assets, I bought gold as a gut reaction. The more I learned about silver, the more I realized that silver was the smart decision.
Our Rabid Politicians DEATH WISH for Americans
Brennan Browne
Incapacitating panic. Perpetual gnawing fear. The hopeless resignation of waking every morning to an existence which continues pushing one so far to the edge of survivability, it's like bricks being systematically stacked on a drowning victim. Each day becomes a little more impossible to keep one's head above water, as psychopathic tormentors sadistically add one more brick, then another, and another. The victim understands the end is near but is incapable of breaking free. This is the economic reality for large swathes of people currently assaulted and sacrificed on the altar of greed, by the brazen tyranny of our politicians.
Semantic Propaganda Feeds Stupidity
By Joel S. Hirschhorn
We would already have had a much needed American revolution in response to the tyranny of the money-fed two-party plutocracy that is destroying the middle class except for one big problem: so much of the American population is just plain stupid. Too stupid to behave like angry Greeks and rise up in the streets to rebel against the dysfunctional government.
In the never ending fight of Republicans and their cancerous (make that stupid) Tea Party members to gain even more control of the US political system, economy and culture they have fixed on another semantic weapon. The latest attack on intelligence is the constant use of the term job creators in place of words like the rich or wealthy. Not just plain Republicans in Congress are doing this, but especially the large crop of Republican presidential candidates.
This bit of cleverness surely was deemed necessary because much of the nation was beginning to appreciate the class warfare going on. Rising economic inequality, unemployment set in concrete, and merging of the middle class into the poverty stricken lower class were all becoming clearer.
Corporate Profits' Share of Pie Most in 60 Years
By MarketWatch
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — It’s not news that Wall Street is doing much better than Main Street, but we didn’t know just how much better until the government updated the economic statistics going back to 2008.
Here’s the grim report that will surprise no one who’s been paying attention the past three years: The fat cats are fatter than we thought, and the incomes of regular folk are worse than we thought.
Profits account for a larger share of GDP than at any time in the past 60 years.As part of its regular revisions to the national income accounts, the Commerce Department told us Friday that corporate profits in 2008, 2009 and 2010 were actually $343 billion higher than earlier estimated.
And personal incomes of American families were $265 billion lower over those three years than previously estimated.
One more thing: the gross domestic product was also revised lower. Read our story: “GDP grows a slender 1.3% in second quarter.”
According to the latest data, profits of U.S. corporations are at record levels even as the U.S. economy gasps for air. Profits have been totally divorced from the economic fortunes of the American people.
America's Cratering Economy
by Stephen Lendman
Slow-motion fiscal collapse perhaps explains its current state after decades of mismanagement, accelerated under Bush and Obama. The chickens are now coming home to roost big time, hitting ordinary people hardest, suffering under a protracted Main Street Depression. More on that below.
Last April 18, Standard & Poor (S & P) downgraded its rating on America to negative, saying:
S & P "affirmed its 'AAA' long-term and 'A-1+' short-term sovereign credit ratings on the US. (It also) revised its outlook on the long-term rating of the US sovereign to negative from stable....(W)e now believe (US strengths may) not fully offset the credit risks over the next two years at the 'AAA' level...."
The Market Has Spoken: Austerity Is Bad for Business
Ellen Brown
It used to be that when the Fed Chairman spoke, the market listened; but the Chairman has lost his mystique. Now when the market speaks, politicians listen. Hopefully they heard what the market just said: government cutbacks are bad for business. The government needs to spend more, not less. Fortunately, there are viable ways to do this while still balancing the budget.
Escalating Israeli Street Protest
by Stephen Lendman
Ongoing since mid-July, Israeli street protests are unprecedented in size, scope, and (so far) determination to stay the course for social justice.
Two previous articles discussed them, accessed through the following links:

http://sjlendman.blogspot.com/2011/08/israeli-street-protests-suppressed-by.html
What began as a Tel Aviv middle class protest for affordable housing, mushroomed to include all segments of Israeli society (except its super-rich) to include many other social justice issues.
