U.S. envoy: Iran gained from U.S. invasions NEW YORK (AP) -- Iran is stronger today because of the U.S.-led invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the American ambassador to the United Nations said Friday. The 2003 invasion of Iraq removed a key rival of Shiite Iran with the ouster of Saddam Hussein’s Sunni-dominated government. Iran has friendly ties with the Shiites now in power in Iraq. “It’s helped Iran’s relative position in the region, because Iraq was a rival of Iran ... and the balance there has disintegrated or weakened,” Zalmay Khalilzad said while answering questions from students at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs. ...
Buchanan: Tapped Out Nation

It was to be the year of change, of new ideas, a new politics. Yet, as of today, it appears the Republican Party will be led into the future by a Beltway favorite of the media and Washington insider who has spent the last quarter of a century on Capitol Hill. And the Democratic Party appears about to build a bridge to the past by nominating the spouse of the last Democratic president who has herself been a Washington insider for almost 20 years. With two-thirds of the nation saying the country is on the wrong course, the two parties are offering candidates both of whom played major roles in setting that course. And neither probable nominee has advanced ideas to deal with the crises ...

Operation Desert Slaughter Thoughts on Holocaust Memorial Day.By Felicity ArbuthnotGlobal Research, January 28, 2008 It is seventeen years since America and Britain embarked on their 'Final Solution' for the population of Iraq. The forty two day carpet bombing, enjoined by thirty two other countries, against a country of just twenty five million souls, with a youthful, conscript army, with broadly half the population under sixteen, and no air force, was just the beginning of a United Nations led, global siege of near mediaeval ferocity. Having, as James Baker boasted they would, reduced 'Iraq to a pre-industrial age', the country was denied all normality : trade, aid, ...
REPUBLICAN PARTY, RED FROM THE START

Many patriots these days lament that the Republican Party has “lost its way” and “gone wrong.” It has “diverged” from the fiscally responsible, small government philosophy of Republican heroes like Robert Taft whom Eisenhower’s handlers finagled out of the nomination for President in 1952. We are told that is why today’s Republican Establishment hates Dr. Ron Paul with such a passion; that they hate him because, like Taft, he is the quintessential Republican. Patriots who say that are mistaken, of course. The reason the Republican Establishment hates Dr. Paul is precisely that he is not a traditional, mainstream Republican, that his platform of ...

Can Big Business and Media bring ANC and ESKOM in check? By Mike Smith – Cape Town, 28 January 2008 The mining industry in South Africa came to a grinding halt this past week due to the South African Power supplier, Eskom, unable to deliver electricity to the mines. This has a major knock-on effect, because thousands of other smaller companies supply or deal with the mines and are dependent on the mines for their very survival. Now I see the newspapers report that the CEO of Anglo American Corporation, Cynthia Carroll is on her way to South Africa to meet with Government Ministers and Eskom Representatives. Anglo American is the second largest mining group in the world next to Rio ...

Every generation has its challenges, its wars and its peculiar identity. Every generation replaces the one in front of it and gets replaced by the one behind it. The enemy of each generation is always the same. It changes its clothes and terrain. It moves in and out of political ideologies and religious dogmas but it’s the same enemy. Defining the enemy isn’t an easy thing. You’re dealing with continuous shape-shifting. You think you are confronting it in front of you when it is actually leaning over your shoulder and advising you. You find that it agrees with you and is on your side only to discover that it has used its seeming alliance to discredit what you believe in; to ...

June 12, 2006 Excerpt from Armed Madhouse They take away your overtime, your 40-hour week, your regulatory protection against corporate marauders, your right to courtroom justice, your protection against unfair trade, even the right to get your ballot counted. But there’s always hope. Hope is the last thing to go. And your hope is your kids, that they’ll have an opportunity you didn’t have. On January 21, 2004, the President told you they’d have to take that away too. On that night, deep into his State of the Union sermon to Congress, when sensible adults had turned off the tube or kicked in the screen, our President opened a new front in the class war. And like the ...
NPR's Not-So-Fresh Air

"Fresh Air," the midday talk show out of Philadelphia and broadcast on National Public Radio, is hosted by Terry Gross, a bookish liberal who tends toward typical NPR fare: Jazz, the Holocaust, poetry and poets, more jazz, and more Holocaust. Her inquisitive but sympathetic tone gives the feel of a comfortable but animated coffeehouse chat. Like so many of her NPR colleagues, Gross is Jewish, and her guests are also frequently Jewish. For those aware of the extent of Jewish influence in the media, this comes as little surprise. But the January 24, 2008 episode of her program provided a singularly pungent example of the insular nature of Jewish media influence. Her guest that ...

Am going to Fiji and Australia tomorrow for a month. Am glad to get away from the nuttiynus of the political system here especially after listening to Bush's nonsense contained in the State of the Union address. It is simply Bizarre. Warped. A skein of lies wrapped up in a delusion surrounded by empty bombast. "You make me proud to be an American" Egads. Who are these people??? And where is the press to hold some of these brazen assertations accountable? O yeh - owned by the fascist corportocriacy. "Great Job" This country is in deep dodo.

Enough is enough. Like many of us, after having watched helplessly as the Bush administration trampled the Constitution and made a mockery of checks and balances over the course of five bitter years, I was hopeful when the American people elected a Democratic Congress in November of 2006. Finally, I imagined, we would have a whiff of legality and the hint of a restoration of the rule of law in the land. Perhaps we would even have congressional committees to oversee the administration’s subversions of the rule of law and investigate the wide range of abuses that it had perpetrated since 2001. There has been a bit of movement — which is why the thousands of Americans I have met ...

How They Control The World By Henry Makow PhD 1-24-8 To understand current events, we need a new paradigm. The paradigm fostered by the mass media of a 'balanced' world consisting of competing interests, nations, ideologies and religions only gives us false confidence and traps us in a false matrix of "good guys vs. bad guys."As my readers know, I suspect that most "competing" groups/ ideologies actually have been created or subverted by a single force: a satanic cult, the Illuminati (Sabbatean-Frankist Jews and cabalistic Freemasons.) This clique is empowered by a cartel of cartels, beginning with world central banking, based in London. It uses MI-6, the CIA, ...

Carrie Jones hasn't had sex with her husband Hal, a City banker, for the past four years. Nor does she want to. Sex is something she can no longer summon the effort to endure - with the man she married, at least. She admits she stays in her sexless relationship for the sake of her children, aged nine and 11, and will remain celibate until the day they are grown up and she feels able to leave. At which point, she confesses, she will probably abandon her husband and begin a sexual odyssey to find the satisfaction that eludes her. An unusual case? A sorry lack of libido? She insists not. "If I thought I was unique in my sexual disappointment I'd probably be suicidal," ...

Soros predicts worst recession for 50 years Amid collapsing stock prices worldwide, the billionaire investor George Soros has told an Austrian daily, the Standard, that the United States is threatened with recession and the world is facing the worst financial crisis in half a century. "The situation is much more serious than any other financial crisis since the end of World War II," Soros was quoted as saying. He said over the past few years politics had been guided by some basic misunderstandings stemming from something that he called "market fundamentalism" - the belief that financial markets tended to act as a balance. "This is the wrong idea," he said. ...
The Ugliest Day of the Year

Today began just like any other day for me. Then at 9:30, I checked the stock market and saw there was no trading. I was perplexed for a while, and then it hit me. Yes, it’s the ugliest day of the year, the day on which Americans celebrate the loss of their civil rights. Let’s leave aside Martin Luther King’s communist connections and his record of adultery, sexual perversion, and plagiarism—we should all re-read Sam Francis’s “The King Holiday and Its Meaning” every year on this day. What stinks worst about the King myth is that history knows him as the man who led the “civil rights movement.” Consider the legislation that resulted from ...

Toronto Stock market takes biggest one-day plunge since tech sector tumbled 10 hours ago TORONTO - The Toronto stock market was slammed with its biggest single-day loss since the tech bubble burst seven years ago as nervous investors worried that the Canadian economy will feel the ripple effects of a looming recession in the United States. The 605-point drop - 4.75 per cent of the market - trimmed more than $90 billion in value from the TSX. That's on top of a 6.6 per cent dive last week that had already wiped out all of the market's gains for 2007. Since Canada's dominant market hit a record high in late October, the TSX has lost more than $300 billion, or 17 per cent of ...

Stock futures pointing to sharp losses when U.S. re-opens Tuesday By Steve Goldstein Last Updated: 1/21/2008 11:19:00 AM LONDON (MarketWatch) -- If futures contracts traded on a day when U.S. stocks weren't even due to open are anything near accurate, then markets will be in for a major decline on Tuesday, with concerns about bond insurers and the health of financial institutions dragging markets lower. March contracts on the Dow Jones Industrial Average traded 482 points lower to 11,624. Futures contract don't move in complete lockstep to the underlying indexes, but by comparison, the Dow industrials fell 382 points on Sept. 20, 2001, just days after the terrorist attack on ...
