I wanted to write a long article for a while already, but I just don’t have the time. So I will pass on a few things I want to share with you, in no particular order, bullet-style presentation. Ubuntu is undergoing a serious crisis from which it is unlikely to recover. Without going into many details, let’s just say that Mark Shuttleworth has openly stated that the Unity, the default
Londres flambe, Londres flambe, Quelle affaire, quelle affaire, Au feu ! Au feu ! Pas d’eau, rien à faire. French children’s song First, there were the riots in France. Then the riots spread to other countries, Spain, Greece, and now the Britain. As I sit and watch the various news reports I am amazed to see to what degree they are all missing the point and misreading the nature of
Dear friends, I just got this email from Gilad. I ask you to do what I just did myself: pre-order his book. That is the best way to make sure that the Zionist will fail in their attempt to prevent its publication. This is really the least we can do (its only 10 bucks!) Many thanks, The Saker ——- Hello everybody, My new book, “The Wandering Who? A Study Of
(thanks to L. for pointing out this article to me! The Saker) By Paul Craig Roberts In my recent article, “Creating Evidence Where There Is None,” about the alleged killing of Osama bin Laden by a commando team of US Seals in Abbottabad, Pakistan, I provided a link to a Pakistani National TV interview with Muhammad Bashir, who lives next door to the alleged “compound” of Osama bin Laden.

By Elias Davidsson for Truthjihad A new religious movement was born September 11th, 2001. This movement was conceived by the American government and comprises many members of the American and European elite, politicians, editors of mass and so-called alternative media, publishers and academics. The movement’s unifying faith is the legend of 9/11, namely that 19 Arab terrorists hijacked four airliners and flew these airliners into the known landmarks in a
By Patrick Cockburn for The Independent In keeping with the British Government’s well-established record of comical ineptitude in dealing with Libya, William Hague chose to recognise the rebel leaders in Benghazi as the legitimate government of the country at the very moment some of them may have been shooting or torturing to death their chief military commander. The exact circumstances surrounding the killing of General Abdel Fattah Younes remain murky,
Commentary by Jillian York for the EFF pseu·do·nym[sood-n-im]–noun a fictitious name used by an author to conceal his or her identity; pen name. There are myriad reasons why individuals may wish to use a name other than the one they were born with.

(thanks for F. for pointing out this article to me!) Peter Dale Scott for Japan Focus Twice in the last two decades, significant cuts in U.S. and western military spending were foreseen: first after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and then in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. But both times military spending soon increased, and among the factors contributing to the increase were America’s interventions in new
Interesting piece on the BBC website today. First, we are told that the folks who killed General Abdel Fattah Younes are Islamists of the Obaida Ibn Jarrah Brigade. Then we are told that NATO bombed three satellite transmission dishes of the Libyan state TV. Now the killing of a former Gaddafi regime bonze like Abdel Fattah Younes hardly breaks my heart, but I am amazed at two things: first, how
I currently have a job as an over-the-phone translator (from home), which pays pennies, but which has some perks: the dress code (none, I am at home), the commute (roughly 1 foot), the hours (flexible) and, on some days, some free time between calls. Like this morning. So I decided to kill some time having fun with Google. Here is what I did: I began entering some queries to see
On July 9th, the famous Georgian politician Nino Burdzhanadze gave a 45min long interview to the Russian radio station Ekho Moskvy in which she made quite a few interesting revelations.
