Martial Law, the Financial Bailout, and War
Once again the always great Professor Peter Dale Scott comes out with a definitive analysis of the perils of these most dangerous and uncertain of times, of the deep state and the decline of empire. This essay is of particular importance in that it connects the dots between our rotting financial institutions and the police state that is necessary to preserve it and to protect the perpetrators of the grand scale fraud.

The Huffington Post: Israeli-Occupied Territory
This is a brilliant piece by Justin Raimondo of antiwar.com that looks at the one-sided anti-Palestinian bent in the U.S. media that is now spreading to the blogs. It is no secret that Israeli hard liners conduct perception management campaigns domestically to influence U.S. public opinion but when the last vestiges of free speech in the blogosphere are muted and paid off what happens to truth? Orwell is spinning in his grave.

Reagan Palled Around with Terrorists, Too
Great story on how Ronald Reagan actively worked the Mujahadin (the same sort of group that Republicans refer to now as "Islamofascists") in the great crusade against the demon communism. Also about Reagan's past affiliation with the extremist World Anti-Communist League (WACL), a collection of thugs, Nazis, death squads and terrorists. Yet Reagan is canonized as some sort of saint when his hands are bloodiest of all.

America's Shadow Government: Part Two
In dark times like these it is very encouraging that there is more and more attention being paid to the shadow government and Continuity of Government. It is imperative that citizens demand accountability for this largely unknown but long running program along with its ability to spy on Americans using Main Core, contingency plans for martial law and the resultant dictatorship. This from John Whitehead is a timely article.

David Brooks: Sarah Palin "Represents A Fatal Cancer To The Republican Party"
WOW! When the Praetorian Guard of the country club elite of the GOP like shill David Brooks comes out and states that Sarah Sarah Barracuda is "a fatal cancer to the Republican party" you get a feeling of just how close to the abyss that we truly are. I guess that fascistic pep rallies that more appropriately belong in a 1930 circa Munich beer hall where chants of "kill him" and "terrorist" are just too much for even Dave.

McCain linked to private group in Iran-Contra case
Karl Rove has decided that in order for McCain to take control of the White House and quash any future investigations into Bush regime criminality that Obama must be linked to 'terrorist' Bill Ayers. Now here is as story about McCain's link to some REAL terrorists, the Iran-Contra octopus, Nazi sympathizers The World League For Freedom and Democracy. These are serious thugs, so bad that they had to change names from the WACL.

Trojan Horse
Investigative journalist Christopher Ketcham follows up on his earlier brilliant piece "The Last Roundup" which dealt with the Main Core database, PROMIS software and Continuity of Government programs with this hard hitting look at a bit of what should be unacceptable and illegal foreign spying on U.S. citizens. Sadly this won't get much play since our 'special relationship' with the foreign power involved precludes it.

Comrades Bush, Paulson and Bernanke Welcome You to the USSRA (United Socialist State Republic of America)
(1 comments) Brilliant piece taking the scalpel to the myth of the great and never challenged big con of the 'free market' which is exposed here by the great Nouriel Roubini who was mocked a year ago for predicting the coming economic collapse. You see, the red baiting Republikans are only the Communist party of America with their statism, corruption and obscene greed. This piece should be posted EVERYWHERE as it screams at the hypocrisy.

Sarah Palin: The Xena of the War Party
When it comes to principled antiwar conservatives from the old school there are few better than Justin Raimondo of the outstanding website Antiwar.com. I personally came to the conclusion fairly recently (after the grim reality that the 2006 Democrats had shanked the antiwar movement in the back) that a progressive, libertarian, paleocon alliance was the ONLY way to derail the war machine. Raimondo gets it as should we all.

False notes for the Grand Old Party
Another brilliant and insightful bit of analysis from the great Asia Times Online - one of the few places where real Americans go to get their information outside grand illusion manufactured by the great sham democracy media kingmakers in the domestic corporate Potemkin Village Press. This one being a spot on piece on Sarah Palin who is the personification of the GOP's "lone unifying principle is stone-cold cynicism." Amen!

Empty Drums
You won't find this in the corporate American media. The Asia Times provides and excellent commentary on the Republican party's latest dirty trick to con the electorate into believing that offshore drilling is a panacea for all that ails the economy. This is a Newt Gingrich operation and the 'Pelosi Premium' is a big con job. There will be no oil for a decade and once there is it's all going to be put on the export markets.

If McCain were a Democrat ...
The gloves need to come off before the 30 + year running revisionist history of Vietnam and the McCain as a war hero are rolled out like Arc Light by the Republican slime machine. This is a nice little article from the Asia Times (no U.S. media source would dare to print it) on how McCain, a self admitted war criminal would be treated if he were a Democrat. Truth is that he is NO hero and some may even call him a traitor.

Debt capitalism self-destructs
The always outstanding Asia Times has another beautiful analysis on the failure of looter capitalism. You won't ever read any of this here in the Homeland as the big lie that capitalism and democracy are one and the same is the greatest taboo of them all. I long ago stopped wasting my time on the domestic corporate propaganda system and articles like this one are a great example why.

President George W Bush backs Israeli plan for strike on Iran
(1 comments) The ultimate example of the complete systemic failure will be soon clear to all once the U.S. reaps the whirlwind of the coming Israeli attack on Iran. Whatever remains of our sad and deteriorating republic and its disintegrating economy will turn into a literal state of anarchy once gas hits 10-12 dollars a gallon, there are food riots and nobody can afford to go to work. A big assist goes to the 2006 Judas Democrat Congress.

The Horror: Vietnam Defines Another Election
This is a great piece that I found in the Asia Times (it could never be found in the U.S.) about the inevitable Republican exploitation of the Vietnam War for political gain yet again. With John McCain's mythical storyline as a 'war hero' making him somehow beyond reproach the GOP is going to once again rip off the scab from this tragic national wound and rub salt into it for political gain while the country wastes away.

Granddad, Tell How Capitalism Committed Suicide
(1 comments) Captitalism - at least in its current cancerous form - is destined for the same historical scrap heap of failed systems and ideologies where lie all of the other grandiose failures that were eventually undermined by the hubris and greed of amoral men. With the house of cards swaying and the storm rapidly approaching it is only a matter of time until it assumes its rightful place next to communism.

Surviving the Fourth of July
Chris Hedges is a personal hero of mine for his ability to courageously speak on the state of the rotting empire that we all in some way recognize. He has been there and has lived to tell the tale as a veteran war correspondent. I always recommend his columns but his speeches are even better - they are able to cleanse the soul - and I would recommend listening to him. In this darkest of times he is a rare beacon of morality.

Kobyashi Maru
This is a wonderful little piece that I ran across on the no-win situation faced by the Federal Reserve in dealing with the economic disaster that we all find ourselves trapped in courtesy of the perverted form of looter capitalism that has destroyed the dollar and is on the brink of beggaring the country while Wall Street stooges Paulson and Bernanke provide rearguard cover for their criminal friends.

IMF finally knocks on Uncle Sam's door
You won't read this in the corporate media. The International Monetary Fund is about to embark on a review of the U.S. house of cards financial system. Globalism comes home to roost as the chicanery of the Wall Street crooks has only succeeded in causing international investors to be bilked out of their money by the Bernanke-Paulson flim flam men and their cronies. Looter capitalism is about to be shorn of all but its figleaf.

The Coming Catastrophe?
(2 comments) A sobering look at one scenario that could take place if the Bush-Cheney-Neocon Axis Of Evil is able to get their wish and kick off WWIII by either attacking Iran as a response to a false flag event or otherwise capitalizing on an Israeli strike as a result of the extremists in the Knesset. They would risk all of this in order to jumpstart the PNAC agenda.
