This is the third article in my series “Surviving in a world of zombies” – you can get part one here and part two here. Today, I am going to touch upon yet another immensely useful computer based tool: a podcast client. First, let me remind you what a podcast is. A podcast is some kind of video or audio recording, often of a show, which is made available for
TRANSCRIPT: (Sorry for the lack of formatting of the text, I extracted it from the PDF file and did not have the time to make it look pretty – VS) Mr. President, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am grateful to the Almighty God who granted me the opportunity to appear before this world assembly once again. I wish to begin by commemorating those who lost their lives in the horrible
Interesting story this morning on the BBC: it appears that some unidentified “nation state” has put huge efforts into creating a sophisticated worm with “incredible amount of code” “probably targeting “high value” infrastructure in Iran”. Read the full BBC story here; its confirmed by NZZ here and here in English. The key sentence in the BBC report is this:” it infects Windows machines via USB keys“. That’s right, this super-dooper-worm
By Michel Chossudovsky for Global Research “Everything the [Ford] Foundation did could be regarded as “making the World safe for capitalism”, reducing social tensions by helping to comfort the afflicted, provide safety valves for the angry, and improve the functioning of government (McGeorge Bundy, National Security Advisor to Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson (1961-1966), President of the Ford Foundation, (1966-1979)) “By providing the funding and the policy framework
Amy Goodman for Democray Now reports: New figures show the number of Americans living in poverty and lacking health insurance has reached the highest levels on record. According to the Census Bureau, 43.6 million people—about one in seven—lived below the poverty level of $22,000 for a family of four in 2009. It was the largest number since the census began keeping track fifty-one years ago, and an increase of four
Unravelling the Israeli Arab ‘rape by deception’ case By Dina Newman BBC News New evidence has emerged in the widely-reported case of Sabbar Kashur, an Israeli Arab who was found guilty of rape by deception after having sex with an Israeli Jewish woman. Back in July, it was reported that the two met in a Jerusalem street in 2008, had consensual sex within 10 minutes of meeting each other. Two
(thanks to L. for pointing me to this article) The King’s Torah: a rabbinic text or a call to terror? Prohibition ‘Thou Shalt Not Murder’ applies only ‘to a Jew who kills a Jew,’ write Rabbis Yitzhak Shapira and Yosef Elitzur. By The Forward and Daniel Estrin in Haaretz The marble-patterned, hardcover book embossed with gold Hebrew letters looks like any other religious commentary you’d find in an Orthodox Judaica
Today, on September 11, 2010, the Big Brother’s corporate media wants you to focus on some ignorant redneck in sunny Florida who want to burn Korans. The other option would be to focus on the topic of the “Ground Zero Mosque” – nevermind that it is not on, but only near, the site of WTC. I suggest that you the watch press conference and debate which was held at the
My friend L. has just emailed me this video, which I new about, but which I do want to post here for those of you who say that they are not engineers and that they have a hard time coming to a conclusion about what happened with WTC7. In this video David Chandler, a high-school physics teacher, uses basic (high-school level) yet absolutely incontrovertible laws of physics to prove tat
By Max Blumenthal for AlterNet (Thanks, again, to L. for passing this one to me! VS) When I went into the Jewish religious book emporium, Pomeranz, in central Jerusalem to inquire about the availability of a book called Torat Ha’Melech, or the King’s Torah, a commotion immediately ensued. “Are you sure you want it?” the owner, M. Pomeranz, asked me half-jokingly. “The Shabak [Israel’s internal security service] is going to
So yes. There are plenty of 9/11 kooks. At NIST.
(thanks to J. for pointing this story out to me – The Saker) by Jonathan Cook for Global Research Nearly 600 Israelis have signed up for a campaign of civil disobedience, vowing to risk jail to smuggle Palestinian women and children into Israel for a brief taste of life outside the occupied West Bank. The Israelis say they have been inspired by the example of Ilana Hammerman, a writer who
by Wayne Madsen for Global Research WMR has learned from its Lebanese intelligence sources that the Lebanese government is coming to realize that Israeli intelligence penetration of all political groups in the country is worse than originally believed. Israel’s Mossad, once content on penetrating the Christian and Druze parties in the country, has now thoroughly infiltrated the top echelons of Sunni and Shi’a parties, as well. Recently, Lebanon charged retired
Sibel Edmonds and Peter B Collins have interviewed Ray McGovern for their (excellent) podcast The Boiling Frogs. They touch on a number of interesting topics, including a very good discussion between Sibel and Ray on whether the Wikileak’s “Afghan Diary” papers are a real leak, or a carefully crafted “intox” by the US government. For whatever its worth, I am inclined to agree with Ray McGovern and consider that the
Introduction by Gilad Atzmon: Living in a world dominated by relentless Zionist lobbying, I am far from being captivated by the current state of Western democracy. I am not impressed at all by the lethal enthusiasm to democratize the World in the name of ‘moral interventionism’. I am sickened by the murderous zeal that led the USA and Britain into a criminal war that left already more than 1.5 million
Today I am testing a new option for which I would like you to give me some feedback: publishing articles in languages other than English, machine translated by Google Language Services. I will try my best to polish up the translations *if I have the time* (which I mostly do not). Machine translated texts are readable at best, so don’t expect high quality stuff, but the substance might be very
Press TV reports: Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah is spending $500 million to implicate Hezbollah in the murder of former Lebanese premier Rafiq Hariri, a report says. Hezbollah has new evidence about the murder of Hariri that, if revealed, would be damaging to Al-Saud, Saudi Arabia’s royal family, the official website of Lebanon’s Free Patriotic Movement party said on Sunday. Nasrallah’s commitment to maintain Lebanon’s peace and unity has forced him
Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, is charged with rape and molestation. Oh, no, mistake, he is not charged, after all. This is one of the very few occasions where the Empire gave me a really good laugh. Thanks guys!
by Gilad Atzmon The Guardian reported today that two Israeli groups have set up training courses in subversive Wikipedia editing aiming to ‘show the other side’ of the Jewish State. Those who lend their pen to the Palestinian cause know about Wikipedia Jews, a term that was coined a few years ago. It refers to a bunch of rabid and crypto Zionists who constantly vandalise encyclopaedia entries to do with
