If Only It Were True…
David came up with another fantastic song. Here is what he writes about it: Ever since the rightwing nutjobs started complaining that Barack Obama is a tree-hugging, socialist, immigrant-loving, peace-loving Muslim I’ve thought, “if only it were true.” This morning it occurred to me to write a song about it. Check it out: <p><br><br><br><br><br><br>I love<br></p> I love the man, there is no other way to put it :-) The Saker
NATO blinked first
This is encouraging. To my surprise, and relief, it appears that Russia refused cave in the the US/NATO demands on Syria and that they two key provisions (regime change, weapons embargo) were dropped from the next UNSC Resolution. Good. As you probably know, I am not exactly an Assad fanboy, but turning Syria into the next Libya would be a disaster for the entire region and a calamity for the
Economic tasks
by Vladimir Putin We are living in a period of radical change in the global economy. Technology is being modernised faster than ever before. Much of what is routine to us today looked like science fiction 15 to 20 years ago. The struggle for global leadership has become more acute than ever before, and we see countries whose standing seemed rock solid giving way to those countries that were looked
Bush & Obama? Israeli assassinations and US Presidents
By Alison Weir for “CNI” via Information Clearing House On January 13th the Atlanta Jewish Times featured a column by its owner-publisher suggesting that Israel might someday need to “order a hit” on the president of the United States. In the column, publisher Andrew Adler describes a scenario in which Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu would need to “give the go-ahead for U.S. based Mossad agents to take out a president
Russia: The national question
by Vladimir Putin For Russia – with its wide range of languages, traditions, ethnicities, and cultures – the national question is, without exaggeration, of fundamental importance. Any responsible politician or public figure must recognize that one of the main conditions of our country’s very existence is civil and interethnic harmony. We see what is happening in the world, the serious risks that are accumulating. Escalating interethnic and interreligious tensions are
Brown-nosing Black man
On Friday, October 17th, 2008, right before the 2008 Presidential election, I posted the following video of Malcolm X: and I added the following words: So what do you think? Is Obama a threat to the system (a “field negro”) or the obedient slave of the system (a “house negro”)? Is Obama a force for “change”? Time has proven, beyond any doubt, that Obama was not only a ‘house negro’,

Slashdot reports: “Federal prosecutors in Virginia have shut down notorious file-sharing site Megaupload.com and charged the service’s founder with violating piracy laws. The Associated Press broke the story on Thursday, reporting that the indictment accuses Megaupload.com’s owner with costing copyright holders including record labels and movie studios more than $500 million in lost revenue.”* “Shortly after a federal raid today brought down the file sharing service Megaupload, hackers aligned with

Speech of Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on January 14, 2012
I take refuge in Allah from the stoned devil. In the Name of Allah, The Compassionate, The Most Merciful. Peace be on the Seal of prophets, our Master and Prophet, Abi Al Qassem Mohammad and on his chaste and pure Household and on his chosen companions and on all messengers and prophets. Peace be on you, my master and Lord Abi Abdullah, and on all the souls gathering around your
Russia muscles up – the challenges we must rise to face
by Vladimir Putin On March 4, the people of Russia will be going to the polls to elect a president of the country. Extensive discussions are currently underway across society. I consider it necessary to state my position on a number of issues which seem to be important in this broader debate: the risks and challenges Russia will, inevitably, encounter. The position we must take in global politics and the
Check out these police goons – they are for real…
I recently found this video on YouTube. Check it out: Occupy Oakland: Police Standoff & Brutal Assault, Tear Gas Aren’t they wonderful? Don’t they look so evil and dumb that remind you of some Hollywood flick based on Orwell’s 1984? I love the big guy whacking his baton on the barrier to scare off some poor women. Fascism is already here, folks, make no mistake about it.
Apartheid in all its (supreme court sanctioned) “glory”
The BBC reports: Israel’s Supreme Court has upheld a law banning Palestinians who marry Israelis from gaining Israeli citizenship. The excuse used by the court? “Human rights do not prescribe national suicide,” Judge Asher Grunis wrote in the judgment. Now that is an amazing confession, isn’t it? What Judge Grunis is saying is the following: (excuse the large print, but this is worthy of being stressed as much as possible)
Why Did Defense Secretary Panetta Say Iran Not Building Nukes?
LEON PANETTA, U.S. SECRETARY OF DEFENSE: Are they trying to develop a nuclear weapon? No, but we know that they’re trying to develop a nuclear capability, and that’s what concerns us. And our red line to Iran is: do not develop a nuclear weapon. That’s a red line for us. BOB SCHIEFFER, FACE THE NATION (CBS): What would happen if Israel does decide to take this matter into its own
Marine snipers urinate on the people they killed
Yes, I know, this is all over the Internet, but I decided to post it here before Uncle Shmuel convinces the big video hosting companies to pull it off, not wanting “a few bad apples” to cause resentment against “the fine men and women who serve in uniform to protect our freedoms” etc. etc. etc.
The US-Iran economic war
By Pepe Escobar for the Asia Times Here’s a crash course on how to further wreck the global economy. A key amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act signed by United States President Barack Obama on the last day of 2011 – when no one was paying attention – imposes sanctions on any countries or companies that buy Iranian oil and pay for it through Iran’s central bank. Starting this
President al-Assad: It Is No Longer Possible for the Regional and International Parties Seeking to Destabilize Syria to Forge Facts and the Events
Note: Just to make sure, I want to clarify something here: the fact that I post Assad’s speech here should in no way be interpreted as a sign of support for him or his policies (neither of which I have ever supported in any way). I am posting this here “for your information”, because it is an important document otherwise hard to find. In the past I have posted many
Iran in the crosshair again?
I am sure you all have followed it. From Panetta’s threats about Iran crossing a “red line”, to the saber-rattling of pretty much all the Republicans except Ron Paul, to the Israel’s lobby renewed efforts to get the US to not only impose illegal sanctions against Iran, but to actually attack it. So is this really going to happen? Last time it appeared that Iran was about to be attacked
