State’s Secrets Articles in this series examine American diplomatic cables as a window on relations with the rest of the world in an age of war and terrorism. * Documents Documents: Selected Dispatches Room For Debate Can WikiLeaks Be Duplicated?

WikiLeaks: Call of Duty Leaks have made it harder for Western governments to dupe their citizens into accepting potential future wars. Mark LeVine Last Modified: 09 Dec 2010 15:40 GMT Ice Cube, just another sad example of how, with too few exceptions, hiphop has gone from being the "CNN of the streets" to the "ho" of the corporations [EPA] For professional historians the publication of the vast trove of diplomatic cables is a bittersweet affair. No one outside of the Washington establishment and the myriad foreign leaders shamed by revelations of their penchant for hatred, hubris and pedestrian peccadillos can seriously argue that the release of these classified ...

On December 22 both houses of the U.S. Congress unanimously passed a bill authorizing $725 billion for next year's Defense Department budget. The bill, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011, was approved by all 100 senators as required and by a voice vote in the House. The House had approved the bill, now sent to President Barack Obama to sign into law, five days earlier in a 341-48 roll call, but needed to vote on it again after the Senate altered it in the interim. The proposed figure for the Pentagon's 2011 war chest includes, in addition to the base budget, $158.7 billion for what are now euphemistically referred to as overseas contingency operations: ...
Start Treaty Hypocrisy

Start Treaty Hypocrisy - by Stephen Lendman Hyped support reveals gross hypocrisy about a deeply flawed process and outrageous price for it. More on that below. Yet a September 14 New York Times editorial headlined, "Ratify the New Start Treaty," saying; "Failure to ratify this treaty would be hugely costly for American credibility and security....The Senate needs to ratify New Start now." In fact, endorsing ratification undermines The Times credibility. More why below. A more recent Washington Post November 19 editorial headlined, "The New START pact should be passed, not politicized," saying: "....the treaty ought to be approved. But no calamity will ...

Spoiling for a Fight?

Spoiling for a Fight? - by Stephen Lendman Washington is a world class menace, waging imperial wars for global dominance called peace, stability and democracy. In the run-up to the 1950 Korean War, Truman used South Korea to goad Pyongyang into a conflict it didn't want. Nor does it now, but events may spiral out of control unless cooler heads prevail. Last March, the latest confrontation began when North Korea was falsely blamed for sinking a South Korean ship. At the time, evidence suggested a false flag, manufactured to blame Pyongyang. Then on November 23, US media reports said North Korea incited the gravest incident since the July 1953 armistice. Analysts called it a deliberate ...

What would happen if agents of the Venezuelan government entered the United States, kidnapped a person suspected of being a terrorist, and whisked him away to Cuba to have him tortured? I’ll tell you: U.S. officials would be hopping mad, along with all their statist supporters. “Bomb them into the Stone Age!” the statists would scream. “Nuke ’em! Nuke ’em all, both in Venezuela and Cuba!” they’d cry. But what happens when agents of the U.S. Empire enter Italy, kidnap a person suspected of being a terrorist, and whisk him away to Egypt to have him tortured? Answer: The U.S. Empire and its statist supporters exclaim, “What great freedom fighters ...

Distinguished Australian journalist John Pilger offers a devastating critique of the news media’s slavish subservience to the military, starting — as all well-informed accounts must — with the original spinmeister of the military/industrial complex, Edward Bernays, the man who coined the phrase “public relations.”

The $5 Trillion Cold War Hoax

PT Barnum said it for all time, "There's a sucker born every minute." For more than four decades, the American people have been terrorized, not by a foreign threat, but by their own government. In order for the Federal Reserve System central bankers to continue to loot the nation after the successful conclusion of the I Second World War, they had to invent a new threat. The only candidate was our erstwhile gallant ally, the Soviet Union. The central bank conspirators faced the task of continuing to mobilize the people against a terrible threat, taxing them heavily in order to save them from destruction. Today, we are burdened by a $5 trillion national debt. ...

S Korean students don't know class="content_subtitle" align="left"> Tue, Jun 24, 2008 AFP SEOUL, KOREA - SOUTH Korean teenagers see the United States as a greater threat to national security than North Korea, and a majority do not know that the North started the 1950-53 war, surveys published on Tuesday showed. The Ministry of Public Administration and Security surveyed 1,016 middle and high school students to mark Wednesday's 58th anniversary of the North's invasion, local newspapers reported. Fewer than half knew the war began in 1950 and just 48.7 per cent said the communist North started it. Others blamed Japan (13.5 per ...

BEIJING--China has officially admitted for the first time that it has embarked on an aircraft carrier building program, part of a grand strategy to "build itself up as a maritime power." A report published by the State Oceanic Administration says the country's leaders decided last year to back plans to build China's first aircraft carrier. The Chinese government and military had kept the program under wraps until now. The annual national ocean development report says that asserting China's power at sea is "indispensible to accomplishing the great resurgence of the Chinese people." Chinese military sources said initial plans had called for launching a ...

Pakistani officials: US missiles kill 54 in NW Dec. 17, 2010 10:35 AM Associated Press PESHAWAR, Pakistan -- Three American missile attacks killed 54 alleged militants Friday close to the Afghan border, an unusually high number of victims that included commanders of a Taliban-allied group that were holding a meeting, Pakistani officials said. The attacks took place in the Khyber tribal region, which has been rarely struck by American missiles before over the last three years. That could indicate a possible expansion of the CIA-led covert campaign of drone strikes inside Pakistani territory. The Obama administration has intensified missile attacks in northwest Pakistan since taking ...

Afghans: Victimized by Conflict, Occupation, Extreme Deprivation and Genocide - by Stephen Lendman In his book "Freedom Next Time," John Pilger used CIA Vietnam terminology calling Afghanistan "the grand illusion of the American cause," describing long-suffering Afghans victimized by conflict, violence, occupation, extreme deprivation and genocide. A December 15 ICRC press release expressed deep concern about how dire conditions have gotten, their worst ever since America's illegal war of aggression began in October 2001. Headlined, "Afghanistan: a people trapped between sides," it cited "civilian casualties, internal displacement, and insufficient ...

Troops booted for pre-existing mental issues By Kelly Kennedy - Staff writer Posted : Sunday Dec 12, 2010 12:57:38 EST From 2003 to 2008, more people were separated from the military within their first year of service for “pre-existing” psychiatric conditions than for any other reason, according to a military report. Those discharges do not qualify a service member for medical benefits or medical retirement pay after leaving. Twenty-two percent of soldiers who were given “existed prior to service,” or EPTS, discharges had psychiatric conditions, while 42 percent of Marine Corps EPTS discharges fell under that category. The figures for the Navy and Air Force were 24 ...
