Richard Perle is a liar ( I Know NOT Breaking News)

Richard Perle is a liar Posted By Stephen M. Walt Monday, February 23, 2009 - 5:11 PM Share I was thinking about two former American government employees this weekend, and how the differences between them tell us a lot about why the United States is in so much trouble today. The first person is Eugene Kranz, the legendary NASA flight director immortalized in the film Apollo 13. I watched a rerun of the film on Friday night, and was struck again by his remarkable leadership of the team that improvised the astronauts' rescue after an in-flight explosion crippled their spacecraft and placed their lives in peril. Many readers probably remember the moment in the film when Kranz tells his ...

Foreign Policy A little doom and gloom Posted By Stephen M. Walt Friday, June 24, 2011 - 4:36 PM Share I visited the National Library in Dublin last week, and spent an hour at a terrific exhibit on the life and works of W. B. Yeats. I've never been a big fan of Yeats's poetry (my tastes run more to Auden, Neruda, e. e. cummings, and Hardy), but some of his best works are undeniably brilliant. Like "The Second Coming," which is probably one of the most famous poems of the 20th century and one that seems uncannily relevant whenever we enter a turbulent period of global politics: Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall ...
THE BASIC LAWS OF HUMAN STUPIDITY
Post Date: 2011-06-24 14:44:54 by James Deffenbach

The first basic law of human stupidity asserts without ambiguity that: Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation. At first, the statement sounds trivial, vague and horribly ungenerous. Closer scrutiny will however reveal its realistic veracity. No matter how high are one's estimates of human stupidity, one is repeatedly and recurrently startled by the fact that: a) people whom one had once judged rational and intelligent turn out to be unashamedly stupid. b) day after day, with unceasing monotony, one is harassed in one's activities by stupid individuals who appear suddenly and unexpectedly in the most inconvenient places and ...
America's New Racists

The late South African economist William Hutt, in his 1964 book, The Economics of the Colour Bar, said that one of the supreme tragedies of the human condition is that those who have been the victims of injustices and oppression "can often be observed to be inflicting not dissimilar injustices upon other races." Born in 1936, I've lived through some of our openly racist history, which has included racist insults, beatings and lynchings. Tuskegee Institute records show that between the years 1880 and 1951, 3,437 blacks and 1,293 whites were lynched. I recall my cousin's and my being chased out of Fishtown and Grays Ferry, two predominantly Irish Philadelphia neighborhoods, ...

Targeted killing is legal in a war zone but not on the streets of Anytown, USA, the author writes. | AP Photo Close The sheriff’s office in Pima County, Ariz., raided the home of former Marine and Iraq combat veteran Jose Guerena, shooting 71 rounds at Guerena and hitting him with 22. The department is now facing a serious controversy over Guerena’s death. But the raid isn’t the real tragedy. It’s a symptom of the real tragedy: the militarization of U.S. law enforcement. Pima County released a video of the raid and supporting documents. The video isn’t anything new — a squad of police officers dressed up for combat. But the statement of the SWAT supervisor ...

UK mobilizes offshoots to kill Press TV Fri Jun 10, 2011 3:17PM The British government has mobilized all its communications and media facilities in a desperate attempt to force Iran's English language news channel Press TV off-air. The facilities in question include the pro-Zionist newspaper The Sunday Times and other right-wing media outlets. Also contributing to the attempt is the Office of Communications (Ofcom), the so-called media regulatory body whose managers are directly installed by the Queen and have to report to the monarchy. Ofcom has been instructed to mount pressure on Press TV with the help of Zionist media giant Rupert Murdoch's newspaper, The Sunday Times. The ...
The Memorial Day Mobs

Though few Americans realize it, Memorial Day has roots that are partially racial in nature. It was originally called “Decoration Day” and was first celebrated by a group composed entirely of black Freedmen in Charleston, SC, to honor Union soldiers—nine in ten of whom where white—who’d died in the Civil War. This past Memorial Day weekend was anything but civil, but in many places it looked like a war. And people may remember—or even commemorate—this year’s “festivities” a hundred years from now. Crowd situations in multiple American cities came so unglued that massive police intervention was required to shut down activities at beaches, ...

During the first and second intifada, more than 700 Palestinian children were killed, and a further 313 children died in the Israeli shelling of Gaza in December 2008-July 2009 [GALLO/GETTY] What is it about Jewish and Arab children that privileges the first and spurns the second in the speeches of President Barack Obama, let alone in the Western media more generally? Are Jewish children smarter, prettier, whiter? Are they deserving of sympathy and solidarity, denied to Arab children, because they are innocent and unsullied by the guilt of their parents, themselves often referred to as "the children of Israel"? Or, is it that Arab children are dangerous, threatening, guilty, ...

Remus starts the day in a good and magnanimous mood but as the day grinds on, as fresh outrages pile one atop another, his sunny outlook wanes, his natural forbearance and good will fade. It's then he admits the time for decorum and civil discourse is running out. He knows if we want liberty, if we want our country and our republic back, we're well advised to begin now. We'd better make a good job of it this time. It won't be enough to root out their treachery, it won't enough to dismantle their schemes, it won't be enough to prosecute them. Exposing and hounding them relentlessly begins to be enough. Joe McCarthy was right, therefore McCarthyism was right. Resume ...
Celente: " Arab Spring + European Summer = World Winter of Discontent"

Arab Spring + European Summer = World Winter of Discontent KINGSTON, NY 25 May 2011 — The biggest news this past week was not the rape accusation scandal embroiling International Monetary Fund chief, Dominique Strauss-Kahn. It was not President Barack Obama’s much ballyhooed Middle East speech, nor was it the historic floods devastating the Mississippi flood plain. But these were the stories that preoccupied the US press. Whereas all were certainly newsworthy – and a cut above the usual obsession with the purely titillating and violent – the most trend-significant story of all got scant, or no coverage from the mainstream media. While the downfall of Strauss-Kahn ...

Many Americans think they understand the dangers of the Patriot Act, which Congress has vowed to extend 4 more years in a vote later this week. Trust me when I say, Americans are not nearly frightened enough. Ever wonder why the truth about 9/11 never got exposed? Why Americans don’t have a clue about leadership fraud surrounding the War on Terror? Why Americans don’t know if the 9/11 investigation was really successful? Why the Iraqi Peace Option draws a blank? Somebody has known the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden— or his grave—for the past 10 years. But nobody’s talking to the people. In significant part, that’s because of the Patriot Act— a law that ...

16-Year-Old Girl Who Challenged Bachmann To Debate Receiving Threats Of Violence, Rape Last week, ThinkProgress reported on high school sophomore Amy Myers, who challenged history-challenged Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) to a public debate on the basic facts of the U.S. Constitution. “Rep. Bachmann, the frequent inability you have shown to accurately and factually present even the most basic information about the United States led me” to the challenge, she wrote in an open letter to the tea party doyenne. Unfortunately, it seems some Bachmann fans haven’t taken Myers’ challenge kindly and are now threatening the teenage girl with violence: After it started getting media ...

On The Chopping Block: Federal Worker Pensions - by Stephen Lendman Bipartisan support endorses ending vital social benefits incrementally, principally Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, healthcare for those who can't afford it, and public pensions. Notably, deep Medicare cuts were made. Much more is planned, including slashing Medicaid. Now federal pensions are being targeted. Civilian federal employees receive benefits under the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), consisting of three components: -- a FERS annuity defined benefit plan; -- mandatory Social Security participation; however most Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) employees aren't part of Social ...
Romans 13:1-7

These are some of my thoughts on Romans 13: 1-7 If you think I am wrong about this please let me know how I am wrong. I have a sick feeling many ministers in America have on purpose been misleading their congregations into believing Christians should obey their government. I have always thought Romans 13 could not have been talking about civil governments because to do so would contradict many other scriptures in the New Testament. I still believe this to be the case despite the widely taught and held belief that Romans 13: 1-7 is talking about submission to secular governments. What is actually being commanded here by Paul is submission to higher authorities, most think this means ...
