Stand up for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights of the American people!

U.S. to leave Iraqi airspace clear for strategic Israeli route to Iran - Pakalert Press SHARE
The U.S. military's fast-approaching Dec. 31 exit from Iraq, which has no way to defend its airspace, puts Israel in a better place strategically to strike Iran's nuclear facilities. Iraq has yet to assemble a force of jet fighters, and since the shortest route for Israeli strike fighters to Iran is through Iraqi airspace, observers conclude that the U.S. exit makes the Jewish state's mission planning a lot easier.

The Secret Behind Guantanamo - Meyssan SHARE
It appears the "torture" carried on at Guantanamo was really a massive psychological research project, performed under the supervision of the former head of the America Psychological Association. Meyssan traces the history of the CIA's interest in the psychology of torture. In all, approximately 8,000 victims participated (against their will) in the experiment at various CIA prisons. According toe Meyssan, Obama can't close Guantanamo without disclosing what was happening there. If he does that, he will have to release all the prisoners, as their so-called confessions were obtained under torture.

America Beyond Capitalism - Alperowitz SHARE
Thousands of co-ops, worker-owned businesses, land trusts, and municipal enterprises are quietly democratizing the deep substructure of the American economic system. There are more than 4,500 not-for-profit community development corporations that operate affordable housing and other community-building programs in US cities. Another 130 million Americans are members of urban food and housing co-ops, traditional agricultural cooperatives and, importantly, credit unions. Additionally, approximately 1.5 million non-profits provide more than 10% of the nation's employment. In addition 11,000 other businesses are owned in whole or part by their employees.

French Credit Downgrade Could Come 'Within Days' - Guardian SHARE
France could be stripped of its triple-A credit rating before Christmas, raising new doubts about the survival of the euro. Standard & Poor's -- one of the three top rating agencies -- is expected to cut France's rating within days, in a move that would weaken its ability to raise funds on financial markets.

Egypt clashes kill 10, undermine Army narrative of democratic transition - Chick SHARE
In Cairo today, security forces clashed with Egyptian protesters for the third straight day after a brutal Army crackdown on demonstrators yesterday, marking an escalation of violence by Egypt's military rulers. The fighting came in the middle of Egypt's staggered parliamentary elections. This weekend's renewed violence, including the documented use of live ammunition against unarmed protesters, undermines the Army's narrative that Egypt's democratic transition is on track.

MTV Funds Advert Opposing Obama's NDAA - YouTube SHARE
(Youtube) -- Viewers would be surprised to see MTV's recent anti-Martial Law advert that ran this week opposing Obama's wholy unconstitutional NDAA S.1867 Bill. It's part of of MTV's "Think' ad campaign, and is a clear break from the usual innocuous political content that we are normally used to seeing on a pop music network. The appearance of such a timely message here is somewhat surprising from the network whose unquestioning loyalty helped catapult Barack Obama into office in 2008, and may be called upon again to do the same in 2012"

Immigration Crackdown Also Snares Americans - Preston SHARE
growing number of United States citizens have been detained under Obama administration programs intended to detect illegal immigrants who are arrested by local police officers. n a spate of recent cases across the country, American citizens have been confined in local jails after federal immigration agents, acting on flawed information from Department of Homeland Security databases, instructed the police to hold them for investigation and possible deportation. Americans said their vehement protests that they were citizens went unheard by local police officers and jailers for days, with no communication with federal immigration agents to clarify the situation.

Did the Pentagon Help Strangle the Arab Spring - Turse SHARE
As the Arab Spring blossomed and President Obama hesitated about whether to speak out in favor of protesters seeking democratic change in the Greater Middle East, the Pentagon acted decisively. It forged ever deeper ties with some of the most repressive regimes in the region, building up military bases and brokering weapons sales and transfers to despots from Bahrain to Yemen.

Dummies Guide to What Went Wrong in Europe - Baw SHARE
Helga is the proprietor of a bar. She realizes that virtually all of her customers are unemployed alcoholics and, as such, can no longer afford to patronize her bar. To solve this problem, she comes up with a new marketing plan that allows her customers to drink now, but pay later. Helga keeps track of the drinks consumed on a ledger (thereby granting the customers' loans). Word gets around about Helga's "drink now, pay later" marketing strategy and, as a result, increasing numbers of customers flood into Helga's bar. Soon she has the largest sales volume for any bar in town. A young and dynamic vice-president at the local bank recognizes that these customer debts constitute valuable future assets and increases Helga's borrowing limit.

Taliban's office in Doha - Pakistan Observer SHARE
AFGHAN Taliban are proceeding ahead to open a Liaison Office in Doha, Qatar, a move aimed at facilitating formal beginning of talks between the US and Afghan resistance to find an amicable solution to the decades old war in Afghanistan and pave the way for the exit of the occupation forces. There is no doubt that the United States has given the approval for opening of the Taliban political headquarters, the first time the Islamist group will be treated as a recognised political party since it fell from power in 2001.
