Channeling Road Apples through a Cosmic Cider Press
Must Read - A quote...."This is the sort of thing the 1% gets up to and this is the sort of thing Nature does to the people stupid enough to let the 1% get away with their behavior; like Bill Gates killing children with his vaccines. Of course, as the human experiment gets more and more absurd and indifferent to anything besides dick and stomach issues, Nature is right there alongside of them with similar interests. What the heck, just to show you how strange life can be.  --  The thing about materialism is that it cancels out your humanity. The moral compass goes haywire and starts spinning like the clock on Twilight Zone. This man's superiors approved of his actions. They defended his kicking a 9 month pregnant woman in the stomach. They buried any and all investigation and this thug had already assaulted two other people previously. This is the kind of thing materialism brings about and who would be more about materialism than the 1%? Who does the thug enforcement arm serve? They obviously serve the 1%. They are ramping up for something and they don't care who knows about it...."

Tomgram: Michael Klare, Oil Wars on the Horizon
Must Read - A quote...."There has been much discussion recently about the Obama administration’s “pivot” from the Greater Middle East to Asia: the 250 Marines sent to Darwin, Australia, the littoral combat ships for Singapore, the support for Burmese “democracy,” war games in the Philippines (and a drone strike there as well), and so on.  The U.S. is definitely going offshore in Asian waters, or put another way, after a decade-long hiatus-cum-debacle on the Eurasian continent, the Great Game v. China is back on. -- While true, however, the importance of this policy change has been exaggerated.  At the moment, as it happens, the greatest game isn’t in Asia at all; it’s in the Persian Gulf where, off the coast of Iran and in bases around the region, the U.S. is engaged in a staggering build-up of naval and air power.  Most people would have little idea that this was even going on, since it rarely makes its way into the mainstream and even less often onto front pages or into the headlines." - also posted at BLN

Why I Hate Republicans (Including Tea Partiers), Even More Than I Hate Democrats
Must Read - A quote...."The more I’ve tried to find differences between them, the less I’ve found. -- For example, both Republicans and Democrats accept the minor lies told by the politicians of their party (Republicans believe in free trade, Democrats in global warming), as well as the big lies told by politicians of both parties (9/11/2001, War on Terror, death of bin Laden, Arab Spring, etc). -- Neither Republicans nor Democrats have ever complained about the daily abuses committed by the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration. -- None of them seem to care about the use of torture as a way to extract “confessions,” nor about the end of habeas corpus and posse comitatus or the expansion of the surveillance state. -- Year after year, election after election, both Republicans and Democrats seem to agree, and have made an effort to convince us about it, that just by changing the puppets in the White House, while keeping the same scoundrels, rascals, cheaters, tax evaders, swindlers, scam artists, fraudsters, charlatans and scumbags of their party on the hill, everything will be okay in America."

Bush Found Guilty Of War Crimes
A quote...."May 11, 2012 "Information Clearing House" -- Kuala Lumpur -- IT’S OFFICIAL - George W Bush is a war criminal. -- In what is the first ever conviction of its kind anywhere in the world, the former US President and seven key members of his administration were today (Friday) found guilty of war crimes. -- Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and their legal advisers Alberto Gonzales, David Addington, William Haynes, Jay Bybee and John Yoo were tried in absentia in Malaysia."

Brookings: A Reliable Imperial Tool
A quote...."Brookings calls itself a Washington-based NGO "conducting high-quality, independent research" to advance three goals: democracy, economic and social welfare for all, and a "more safe, prosperous and cooperative international system." -- In fact, it's a corporate financed imperial tool. It serves wealth and power. It deplores democracy, social welfare, and equal opportunity. It supports Washington's longstanding Syria and Iran regime change agenda. Doing so ignores rule of law principles."

Does The West Have A Future?
A quote...."A couple of years ago a noted philosopher wrote an article in which he suggested that Americans live in an artificial or virtual reality. Another noted philosopher said that he thought there was a 25% chance that the philosopher was right. I am convinced that he is right. Americans live in the Matrix. Nothing that they know or think that they know is correct." - also posted at ICH

With one exception. -- Late Tuesday, Mozilla’s Privacy and Public Policy lead sent me the following statement...." - Source:  Forbes

"While we wholeheartedly support a more secure Internet, CISPA has a broad and alarming reach that goes far beyond Internet security.

We hope the Senate takes the time to fully and openly consider these issues with stakeholder input before moving forward with this legislation." -- *Mozilla* - posted 05-03-12

These are stories about "bumbling fantasists", hapless druggies, the aimless, even the virtually homeless and mentally ill, and other marginal characters with not the strongest grip on reality, who have been lured into discourses about violence against America only after assiduous courting, and in some cases outright payment, by undercover FBI or police informants." - Source:  TheGuardian

Truthers, Rejoice! CIA Leaks After Hitting The Iceberg of Truth
A quote....""From underwear bombers to Libya’s globetrotting death squads, it turns out that the US government itself is driving this omnipresent global threat and constitutes the premier state-sponsor of terrorism. From the very creation of Al Qaeda in the mountains of Afghanistan, to Al Qaeda death squads bombing targets across Syria today, the US is machinating behind the scenes to perpetuate its foreign policy through a false strategy of tension where the villains and “heroes” are of their own creation. It is only through apathy and ignorance that they succeed in foisting this narrative upon the public, as well as our daily patronage of the corporate-financier interests devising and driving this agenda." -- *Tony Cartalucci*, "Latest Al Qaeda Boogeyman is CIA Agent." - also posted at 9/11InsdJob

It is at moments like this that the public—still in shock from the horror of the tragedy that has just unfolded before them—can be led into the most ruthless despotism: despotism that now bears the mantle of "security." -- Acts of terror and violence never benefit the average man or woman.

An Abomination and a Rank Obscenity

A few comments here....

Homosexual behavior between two consenting adults is personal.  Marriage however, is a social and societal institution that reflects the fundamental aspirations of its members. An institution which deeply affects society, the social relationships between its members, and the fundamental structures upon which that society is founded.  It is therefore not "private" or just "between two consenting adults" in any sense of the word.

Being "gay" and the entire "gay industry" is a fantasy, a fashion statement, a deliberate lie concocted by this nations wealthy parasites and promulgated by the mass-media they own to reflect their new found preferences and tastes, along with those of the fawning, genuflecting, obsequious, coteries they employ so freely these days. 

There is no proof whatsoever that homosexual activity is determined by anything other than circumstance.  It is not determined by your genes, but by a person's life experiences.  The male citizens of Sparta, who were all forced to undergo homosexual training in the army did not suddenly change their genes.  It was a choice imposed upon them by their society.
  There is NOT one single scintilla of support for a "discriminated" class of people, only a discriminated class of behavior.

Obama is a well known bi-sexual, you can look up his prior history in Chicago, it's on the web.  The shenanigans going on in Washington DC for the last few decades by our illustrious parasites are well known.  From Rumsfeld watching beefy US marines abusing inmates at Gitmo through a high speed video link while he got to direct all the "action", to Jeff Gannon's eight hundred visits to the White House where he engaged in activities, most likely with Karl Rove, that can best be described by Rove's nick name given to him by Bush himself...."Turd Blossom", to the actual recent termination of the Congressional Page program because this nation's representatives simply could not control themselves. To the DC Madam, her little "black book" and her obvious and deliberate murder to shut her up. To Dyncorp's pedophile rings set up for the enjoyment and pleasure of Washington DC's parasites and openly acknowledged in congressional testimony, to all the other activities going on in our New Roman Capital, it has become abundantly clear  that this society has passed the point of no return.

Lets not even discuss what this sort of behavior has done to the Catholic Church and the tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of children and young adults, permanently scared by what was done to them.

It has become abundantly obvious that one of the primary social engineering tools the New Unholy Roman Empire uses to coerce its citizens into conformity is a not so subtle application of Edward Bernay's techniques of sexual manipulation, not only in regards to heterosexual sex, but to play on the citizens fears of homosexual sex.

Buba as your cell mate in prison for example, or the sexual assaults conducted everyday by the TSA against millions of innocent travelers, or the threats, and more than threats, used by local police forces against the civilian population of this nation, or this technique's large scale use in the US military as a means of control, not only of their own members, but for those they capture and torture at sites like Abu Ghraib and Bagram air force base or th ehundreds of black sites scattered across the world.


The fact that this society is now willing to codify these behaviors, these "trendy" aspirations by our criminal psychotic parasites, by destroying the institution of marriage, is an abomination, and a rank obscenity

It is a manifest
symptom (not a cause, so there's no "cure" for this, it's way too late for that), and a sure sign as it was in Rome, and all those other societies that have become this decadent and decayed, that this society cannot recover, nor does it want to recover, from its willful, relentless, downward spiral into cultural and economic debauchery, and total utter, moral, rot. - mpg -- Topix....

In The Clutches of Hell: Expect 9/11 2.0 And War Against Iran
A quote...."Liberty for Milton is not something that starts with man: it starts with God. It is not something that man naturally wants for himself, but something that God is determined he shall have; man cannot want it unless he is in a regenerate state, prepared to accept the inner discipline and responsibility that go with it. Hence, as Milton says, none can love freedom but good men; the rest want not freedom but licence. When a "licentious" man says he wants liberty, what he really wants is mastery, or lust. If he cannot get mastery, he will give the name liberty to greed, to the querulous desire to be left alone with his pleasanter vices. If he cannot achieve that, he will identify liberty with its demonic parody, a glad acceptance of slavery, proceeding from the influence of Moloch and Belial to that of Mammon." -- *Northrop Frye*, "The Return of Eden." 1965.

Netanyahu’s Barbarossa
A quote...."Ariel Sharon had been banned from being Minister of Defense by the Supreme Court, due to the Sabra and Shatila Massacre, where it was alleged that the IDF, the Israeli Defense Forces, had allowed Lebanese militiamen access to Palestinian refugee camps when Sharon was the minister. Many thought his career was over, but Shalom Hanoch sung a different song: “You don’t want him as Minister of Defense? Unless you wake up, you’ll get him as Prime Minister!” The song turned being prophetic, and now it seems it would be soon applicable to another Zionist leader."

Analysis: A new balance at the cabinet on Iran
A quote...."According to media reports over the past year, Mofaz has been opposed to an Israeli attack against Iran and will find a partner in his successor as chief of staff Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe “Bogie” Ya’alon who is also opposed to unilateral Israeli action. - Both believe that a military option should be a last resort and Israel should instead try and get the United States to stop the Iranians." - a comment shown below....

"Translation: Benyamin Netanyahu, Shaul Mofaz and Moshe Ya'alon are demanding, yet again, for more more American blood, and American money, to be placed as a sacrifice on the altar of ultimate Israeli hegemony in the Middle East by having the US government embark on what could well be a disastrous military misadventure." -- *Michael Rivero*

Arab world views Israeli unity government as precursor to Iran strike
Related Article - A quote...."Israeli unity government or a return to the elected General Staff?” reads the sarcastic headline of Palestinian news site Ma’an, a reference to Mofaz and Netanyahu’s similar military background. The site notes that the new government will be led by three men who served in the same elite military unit, Sayeret Matkal (the General Staff Reconnaissance Unit). Ma’an hints at a political conspiracy, claiming that current political analysis does not adequately explain why Netanyahu chose to rescue his opponent Mofaz when polls clearly showed the Likud leading with a large margin."

Unless you get a kidney transplant (and Osama did not) the average life expectancy is 5 years. And that presumes that top-notch medical care is provided, which may be hard to come by in places like Afghanistan and Pakistan. And being on the run and living in hiding can’t possibly help the situation. -- However, Osama bin laden had a lot of other health problems besides kidney disease.

The very idea of "Operation Twist" is an abomination. -- Capital markets are at the heart of capitalism and they are not working. Savers are being crushed when we desperately need savings. The federal government is borrowing when it is broke. -- Wall Street is arbitraging the Fed's monetary policy by borrowing overnight money at 10 basis points and investing it in 10-year treasuries at a yield of 200 basis points, capturing the profit and laughing all the way to the bank. The Fed has become a captive of the traders and robots on Wall Street." -- *David Stockman*

Is China a Currency Manipulator?
A quote...."....every nation with a fiat currency is to some degree or other a currency manipulator. That’s what fiat is all about: the ability of the state to manipulate markets through monetary policy. When Ben Bernanke engages in quantitative easing, or twisting, or any kind of monetary policy or open market operation, the Federal Reserve is engaging in currency manipulation. Every new dollar that is printed devalues every dollar out in the wild, and just as importantly all dollar-denominated debt.

A cross-section of French society sending a message to Europe and the wider world; it's possible to dream of change - and most of all, social justice. There is an alternative."

Want peace? Arrests of US War Criminals legal, ethical best move
Special Note - Contains Video - Alt - A quote...."US war law is crystal-clear in letter and intent: no nation can use their military in armed attack unless they are under attack by another nation’s government. -- This is the basic history and government lesson that all our families sacrificed to teach us through two world wars. The US is in obvious violating of this essential law, both now and in the US war-murders of 20 to 30 million human beings since World War 2 (further history of unlawful US wars going back to stealing half of Mexico here). -- Do you really want peace? -- Isn’t it therefore obvious to demand the arrests of obvious US War Criminals of both parties, and the lying sacks of spin in corporate media? -- Without arrests, the wars will continue to kill millions, harm billions, and loot trillions of our dollars."

One Simple Rule To Stop Unnecessary Wars
A quote...."    Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. -- This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its labourers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron." -- also posted at ZeroHedge --  *Dwight D Eisenhower*, Supreme Allied commander during WW2 and 34th president of the United States.

The odds are that, after a “decent interval,” like the one in Vietnam from 1973 to 1975, the Taliban will return to take vengeance on all who abandoned them, and Afghanistan will come again to resemble the land we invaded a decade ago. -- Why is this probable? -- First, because the Taliban have shown themselves to be, though fewer in number, a superior fighting force to the Afghan army. They have not needed foreigners to motivate, train, advise or lead them. -- Nor have they needed foreign money to fight.

The New York Times, in an effort, apparently, to avoid saying anything favorable about Cuba simply left it out. Or so it seemed. On Monday and Tuesday The Canadian disappeared quickly while the NY Times were left in the rack." - bold by website editor - The Ochs-Sulzberger family can just go right ahead and keep it up, the arrogant and stupid, war-mongering little piss-ants are going to run their paper right into the ground. - mpg

Database and IP Records Tie Election Fraud To Canada's Ruling Conservatives
Canadian vote suppression - A quote...."Canada's election fraud scandal continues to unfold. Elections Canada just matched the IP address used to set up thousands of voter suppression robocalls to one used by a Conservative Party operative, and a comparison of call records found a perfect match between the illegal calls, and records of non-supporters in the Conservative Party's CIMS voter tracking database, as well as evidence access logs may have been tampered with. Meanwhile, legal challenges to election results are underway in seven ridings, and an online petition calling for an independent public inquiry into the crisis has amassed over 44,000 signatures."

Adieu Sarkozy? - (Good riddance is more like it! - mpg)
A quote...."François Hollande with 28.63% of the votes came in ahead of Nicolas Sarkozy at 27.18%, the first time since the beginning of the Vth Republic in 1958 that a president trying to win a second term has failed to beat his challenger. This is a clear sign of the French electorate’s rejection of Sarkozy and a repudiation of his government’s policies — especially economic and social, with their resultant high unemployment. Sarkozy was “le président des riches” (president of the wealthy), but there was also a resounding “non” to his personal behaviour since, for many French people, Sarkozy has discredited the presidential role. In one particularly symbolic incident, he insulted a demonstrator in front of television cameras." - also posted at ICH

Solidarity and Realpolitik: My Response to Jeff Halper
Must Read - A quote...."Some years ago, I was on a panel with three men, Jeff Halper among them, at a Sabeel conference in Pennsylvania. Each panelist was asked to give their vision for a solution to the 'Palestine/Israel conflict'.  Because I was sitting at the end of the table, I was the last to speak.  I listened to each one of my fellow participants lay out different versions of a two-state solution, each more depressing than the other, each with irrelevant nuances (all previously articulated by Israel, by the way) on how to make the refugee problem just go away.  They spoke the tired talk of land swaps, compromise, several surreal highways that bypass humanity for miles on end, and more creative solutions designed to circumvent the application of human rights where Palestinians are concerned."  ---  "When my turn came, I spoke of Palestinians being accorded the same basic rights that apply to the rest of humanity, including the right to return to one’s home after fleeing a conflict.  I spoke of equality under the law regardless of religion.  I spoke of a construct that would prevent one group from systematically oppressing another.  I spoke of human dignity and the universal right to it.  I spoke of equal access to resources, including water, regardless of religion." - also posted at AlethoNews
