The real problem is that MOST U.S. citizens are so dumbed down by the media that when they hear the truth from the likes of Ron Paul, it just doesn’t even register.
If Chinese tanks were rolling down our streets, [and the Chinese were] kicking in our doors, dropping Missiles from their version of predator drones, [...]
Al Jazeera English
Interesting show this one, caught an episode today where they were discussing the need for a global government, like it was no big thing… yikes.
I’ll endeavour to post it when it makes it into the “pipes and dump-tucks” of internet land.
Here is a good intro but Its all propaganda at the end of [...]

The thousands of US officer reports from Afghanistan appearing on Wikileaks yesterday show how technology can imperil a military’s secrecy and operations.
But there is another side to that relationship.
The technologies used by militaries to kill by remote control, which are becoming increasingly sophisticated and prevalent, are transforming warfare.
A senior United Nations official recently warned of [...]
It’s been one lie after another in the US media about the Israeli attack on the Gaza-bound relief flotilla.
No matter that the Israeli media views the whole incident as a debacle for Israel,
in this country the Israel-can-do-no-wrong crowd is on overdrive defending the operation.
As usual, facts don’t matter to them.
Except they do.
The first thing you [...]
Following Colombian accusations before the Organisation of American States (OAS) yesterday that Venezuela is “protecting” its guerrillas,
Chavez announced that Venezuela would break off diplomatic relations with Colombia and withdraw its ambassador.
Venezuelan institutions and international social organisations have expressed their support for Venezuela,
while the U.S has supported Colombia’s proposal to the [...]
The international aid agency Oxfam demanded Monday that Israel compensate Palestinians in a northern Jordan Valley village after soldiers destroyed at least $29,000 of aid.
In a statement, the charity said villagers in Al-Farisiya were forced into poverty when soldiers demolished 79 structures in the village, including homes, stables, sheds, water tanks, two tons of animal [...]
The Chilcot inquiry confirms what most suspected – the reasons for war were bogus.
In future, such decisions must be transparent.
It was almost exactly eight years ago that the public beat of the Washington war drums became so loud and insistent that it could no longer be ignored.
But we now know that for [...]

The New Pentagon Papers:
WikiLeaks Releases 90,000+ Secret Military Documents Painting Devastating Picture of Afghanistan War

North Korea says it will use its “nuclear deterrent” in response to joint US-South Korean military exercises this weekend.
Pyongyang was ready to launch a “retaliatory sacred war” at any time, the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.
Washington and Seoul say the war games are to deter North Korean aggression.
Tensions between the two Koreas [...]
Some in South Korea dispute the official version of events:
that a North Korean torpedo ripped apart the Cheonan.
[ ... now that's what I'm Tonkin about ... ]
The way U.S. officials see it, there’s little mystery behind the most notorious shipwreck in recent Korean history.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton calls the [...]
Give Us Your Lavishly Rich, Your Xenophobic
Immigrants. Taking our jobs and public assistance. The cause of all our problems.
But it’s not true.
We’re blaming people who are struggling day-by-day to survive on their own or support their families,
while we applaud a system that allows a financial expert to make enough money to pay the salaries of [...]
Amnesty International has today called on the Israeli authorities to stop the demolition of Palestinian homes
and other buildings in the West Bank,
after a further 74 were destroyed in the Jordan Valley earlier this week.
The demolitions were carried out by the Israeli military in the villages of Hmayyir and ‘Ein Ghazal in the area of al-Farisiya [...]
9/11 was like Pearl Harbor to America, uniting many, awakening bitter skepticism in a few.
Where Pearl Harbor began America’s official role in crushing the Fascist juggernaut that threatened to dominate the world,
9/11 had quite the opposite effect.
America’s response to 9/11 was oppression at home and a tirade of frenzied phobic reactions around the world.
No American [...]
The Israeli government has refused to provide the United Nations assurance to discontinue its illegal usage of internationally banned white phosphorus bombs,
which it used heavily in its latest war on the Gaza Strip,
causing hundreds of Palestinian deaths,
in addition to serious environmental damage.
Israel submitted an official report to the UN this week admitting its use of [...]

I couldn’t help the sarcastic title – I blame it on a bit of grim humor I sensed in the video – you’ll see – but the documents are, after all, an important part of the experiment.
But if one is to accept the official explanations fed to the public to explain the events of September [...]
From 1991 to 2003, hundreds of thousands of our bravest men and women sought help from the Veterans Administration,
from the Defense Department,
from the White House, all to no avail.
The official word was that Gulf War Syndrome did not exist.
So they suffered in silence.
Tens of thousands died from these conditions.
Many lost their homes because of the [...]

What is it going to take for concerned and engaged citizens to finally feel as though some crucial threshold has been crossed—that our nation’s political system and the global corporate culture it both serves and feeds into will never represent them or serve their needs?
Continuing along that line, what’s to be done once that [...]
In an attempt to be proactive, or seem proactive, governments and scientists are ‘considering‘ changing the climate.
Using man made volcano-like smoke stacks, reflective particles in the upper atmosphere, aerosolized particles dispensed from aircraft
…and other such dangerous (not to mention expensive) ideas.
Whilst I’m in no rush to usher in a ‘compulsory earth-based religion’ (and there are [...]

The Israeli Navy reportedly blockades a Libyan-chartered aid vessel which has set sail for the blockaded Gaza Strip,

There is a real threat,” said Yussef Sawan,

AFP reported.
