The [Obvious] New State Solution
Chris Hedges via gan, Wednesday, Nov 18 2009, 1:07pm
The collapse of the Palestinian Authority, the result of Israel’s 42-year refusal to implement a two-state solution, leaves the Palestinians no option but to unilaterally declare an independent state. Israel acted unilaterally when it announced independence in 1948. It is the Palestinians’ turn. It worked in Kosovo. It worked in Georgia. And it will work in Palestine. There are 192 member states in the United Nations and as many as 150 would recognize the state of Palestine, creating a diplomatic nightmare for Israel and its lonely ally the United States. Israel will face worldwide censure if it attempts to crush the independent state by force and very likely be subjected to the kind of divestment campaigns and boycotts that brought down the apartheid government of South Africa.

The Forgotten Bird Of Paradise
John Pilger via stan, Tuesday, Nov 17 2009, 11:44am
When General Suharto, the West’s man, seized power in Indonesia in the mid-1960s, he offered “a gleam of light in Asia”, rejoiced Time magazine. That he had killed up to a million [mostly ethnic Chinese] 'communists' was of no account in the acquisition of what Richard Nixon called “the richest hoard of natural resources, the greatest prize in South-east Asia”.

 U.S. Justice Dept. Demands Independent News Site's User Information
Declan McCullagh via krill, Tuesday, Nov 17 2009, 1:13am
It is not widely known that the Cleaves site was developed from the Indymedia (IMC) model. The current CMS software package in use by the Cleaves team is a product of Indymedia Ireland. We acknowledge that our existence (and continuing presence) would not have been possible but for the assistance of the IMC and as a show of solidarity we take this opportunity to throw our support behind our persecuted comrades in the Independent Media.

The Audacity of Failure
Mike Whitney via ryall, Monday, Nov 16 2009, 10:34pm
Barack Obama is on his way to becoming a one-term president. According to Politico:
"President Barack Obama plans to announce in next year’s State of the Union address that he wants to focus extensively on cutting the federal deficit in 2010 – and will downplay other new domestic spending beyond jobs programs, according to top aides involved in the planning.
The president’s plan, which the officials said was under discussion before this month’s Democratic election setbacks, represents both a practical and a political calculation by this White House." (www.politico.com)

U.S. Spies Buy Stake in Firm That Monitors Blogs, Tweets

And they galloped to their doom blissfully unaware of the consequences of their apathy, narcissism and fear.
Oz police have been making arrests using social networking sites since their inception. They have often referred to these sites as the best thing since finger printing. And who are the desperate morons assisting BIG BROTHER?
The team 'affectionately' refers to these sites as 'Facefuck' and 'Myarse' -- good luck doodles, you'll need it!
The sorry joke is real data has replaced aliases and nicks -- the first rule of digital security has been broken! NEVER EVER divulge PERSONAL DETAILS to the world at large -- u brainless bovines!

Secret White House letter to G-20
Greg Palast via sal, Saturday, Sep 26 2009, 12:33pm
I still get a thrill whenever I get my hands on a confidential memo with "The White House, Washington" appearing on the letterhead. Even when—like the one I'm looking at now—it's about a snoozy topic: This week's G-20 summit.

 Sovereignty or corrupt Puppet government?
Joseph Ellis via finn, Tuesday, Aug 18 2009, 3:24pm
From the very beginning of our national history, Americans have been arguing about the proper role of government. Put succinctly, the dispute is between those who regard government as "them" and those who see it as "us."
Our two founding documents embody the tension in its classical form. The Declaration of Independence locates sovereignty in the individual citizen, who possesses the rights of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," as Thomas Jefferson so lyrically put it, and the power of government is described as an alien force that must be put on the permanent defensive.

The mind-numbed, volition-devoid MASSES
Joel S. Hirschhorn via nano, Tuesday, Aug 18 2009, 2:46pm
As we approach the eighth anniversary of 9/11 consider this paradox. In the post 9-11 years the scientific evidence for disbelieving the official government story has mounted incredibly. And the number of highly respected and credentialed professionals challenging the official story has similarly expanded. Yet, to the considerable disappointment of the international 9/11 truth movement, the objective fact is that there are no widespread, loud demands for a new government-backed 9/11 investigation. The 9/11 truth movement is the epitome of a marginalized movement, one that never goes away despite not achieving truly meaningful results, which in this case means replacing official lies with official truth. What has gone wrong?

Brief History of the Shortest Lived Empire on Record, Pt. 1
Andrew Gavin Marshall via quin, Saturday, Aug 1 2009, 2:53am
Introduction
“And it’s come to this;” are reputed to be the last words uttered by notorious Australian bushranger Ned Kelly before he was hanged. Today those fateful words apply to a bandit nation that chose, like Kelly, to live the hard, fast, short life of a rogue and bandit.

Skype, the uncrackable peer communicator
Chris Williams via Kismo, Friday, Jul 31 2009, 10:31pm
"For years now a steady stream of reports and whispers have emerged that despite their batteries of supercomputers, intelligence agencies are frustrated by Skype's anonymity and strong encryption. Its base in Estonia also means the firm is out of the reach of the US lawful intercept laws and UK export legislation, which forces any firm supplying encryption technology to show GCHQ the backdoor."

KOSOVO: US terrorist ally continues persecution of ethnic minorities
Lee Jay Walker via dusan, Sunday, Jul 26 2009, 5:44pm
The former Yugoslavia was engulfed in many conflicts, ethnic and religious differences tore away at the fabric of this nation. Like all wars, atrocities took place on all sides but the mass media chose to focus on Serbian atrocities while neglecting brutal crimes committed against the Serbian community. This certainly applies to the numerous war crimes committed by the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA).

Obama: More Polished Than the Last Puppet
Cindy Sheehan via rialator, Thursday, Jul 23 2009, 3:14pm
Okay, so the United States of America has had a new puppet regime for six months now. I was never so much into giving Obama a “chance” and I think it’s way past time to call Obama and his supporters out, like we called Bush and his supporters out. Our Presidents are merely puppets for the Robber Class and Obama is no exception.
