America elected Barak Obama for one reason only. We had spent years with a government found to have become utterly corrupt, a pack of criminal gangsters no better than Pinochet in Chile or Pol Pot in Cambodia. We were going to go in, put Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove, Rice, Ashcroft, Gonzales along with 2 dozen top military leaders and more senior members of Congress in prison. When we were done, we would go thru the oil companies, banks, defense giants, insurance companies and more, doing the same. We hoped that when we were finally done, whoever was left would know that they were part of a government by and for the people, not employees of a criminal conpiracy.
President Obama, his backers, the Democratic Party and the boys in Congress across the aisle, however, didn’t want anything to change, it was simply their chance to cash in. We are now left with a political debate in America devoid of any public interest at all, only thieves fighting over the remains of a corpse.
The simplest thing to stay would be to demand an investigation over the illegal attack on Iraq and the national disaster to follow. We have 5000 dead Americans, over a million dead in Iraq and hundreds of billions of dollars stolen in cost overruns, missing oil, missing weapons and a cast of criminals who have convicted themselves. This one is a ‘no brainer.’ Mr. Obama, you won’t even look at this? What are you thinking?
The safe bet for the Bush boys is 9/11. They grew up looking at how a cabal in government had killed President Kennedy and managed to push the whole thing on a half wit, Lee Harvey Oswald. With a cheesy investigation run by the conpirators themselves, led by Allen Dulles, shadowy former Hitler crony, witnesses were silenced, evidence destroyed and an implausible cover story was sold to the American people.
All that was needed was a heavily infiltrated terror cell helped along by friendly Israeli airport security, Rumsfeld “standing down” our Air Forces and several black ops attacks like the Pentagon bombing/missile attack coordinated into the time frame and the stage would be set for a second term, national bankruptcy and the overthrow of our democratic government. Even when it all fell apart, films, evidence, witnesses, testimony all led the planning and execution of 9/11 to the Bush Whitehouse, and millions around the world clammored, “COVERUP!!” the perpetrators will still safe.
Too much money had been made, too many were involved and the whole rotten mess, Democrats and Republicans, would all have to rot in prison together if it came to the surface.
What was the lesson of 9/11? Today it seems to be drugs. When we privatized, not only the CIA but rendition flights that never stop at customs and death squads that can name their own victims, we were really building a national drug Mafia to take the place of the CIA and a dozen more agencies.
How can it be gotten away with? As with Iraq, billions of dollars worth of heroin/opium is flowing out of Afghanistan, enough to pay off governments in the region, military leaders, friendly warlords, unfriendly Taliban and hundreds of key players in Washington and elsewhere. Not only can we fly tons of drugs around the world, but we can murder anyone who tries to stop us, law enforcement or competitors as “terrorists.”
Will we ever look into the hundreds of billions of dollars bilked out of the American people, theft going on still, every minute, from rigged gasoline prices? Again, the same answer, a flood of money, enough to buy Congress, enough to own the Whitehouse, enough to buy any newspaper, any network.
We could name a dozen scandals, two dozen. Everything our government touches is corrupt. Nothing is done without payoffs somewhere or it would “die in committee.” We have no government except to steal. More at link above:By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor

When we speak of a country largely closed to the rest of the world as Iran is difficult to understand if the regime is solid, if really has support among the population, how long it can last. After the rigged election of Ahmadinejad and the protests in the streets with dozens of deaths and hundreds of arrests, some hoped that the islamic regime was close to falling.When we speak of a country largely closed to the rest of the world as Iran is... more

In the world there are always elections, but are not all the same. Some are held in a clear, democratic way and others not exactly like that. In Japan, the exit polls give the Democratic Party as a clear winner. The conservative Liberal party that has ruled the country for 54 years without interruption, with only a small break in 1993, seems poised for a disastrous and historic defeat.In the world there are always elections, but are not all the same.

Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is due to give a nationally televised sermon Friday, one week after a disputed election triggered the worst unrest in Iran in three decades.
While leading Friday prayers at Tehran University, Ayatollah Khamenei is expected to show support for re-elected President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and to suppress calls for a new election. Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran's most powerful figure, called for national unity after the election.
In a sixth day of protests Thursday, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Tehran to support defeated presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi and mourn those who have died in post-election violence.
Mr. Mousavi joined the demonstrators at Tehran's Imam Khomeini square. Most in the crowd were dressed in black, in accordance with Mr. Mousavi's directions to wear the color of mourning, rather than his standard campaign color green.
There have been daily mass demonstrations since Iranian authorities declared Mr. Ahmadinejad the landslide winner of the June 12 election with 63 percent of the vote. Mr. Mousavi wants the vote annulled and held again.Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is due to give a nationally... more

Soslan Gagloev, who fought under the name of Wakanoho, says that he was forced to accept money and fight in unfair matches.
A scandal-stained Russian sumo wrestler has threatened to blow open a catalogue of “evils” surrounding Japan's most traditional of sports in a move that could destroy the reputation of many of its biggest stars.
In an incendiary public statement, which his lawyer is understood to have strongly advised against, the former high flier lashed out at the entire structure of the sport, alleging that it was riddled with match-fixing and other problems.
The extraordinary outburst comes as sumo is fighting a last-ditch battle to save its name with the Japanese public, and to win back audiences turned off by a seemingly endless run of scandals and debacles. The public airing of grievances also shatters the long-cherished tradition that sumo wrestlers should be models of laconic silence and forbearance.
The disgraced Soslan Gagloev, who fought under the name of Wakanoho until his lifetime ban last month for marijuana possession, said that he stood ready to lift the lid on a “dirty world” of rigged bouts and drug abuse within the sumo elite.
“I was forced to accept money and made to fight in unfair matches from the very moment I entered the makuuchi [the top rank of sumo wresting].
Warning that he would reveal “other evil things that I know” later in court, the 20-year-old Russian had one last swipe at the sport from which he was so abruptly disbarred: “my stable master and others knew about the match-fixing but nobody stepped in because they had also been fighting in rigged matches themselves,” he said.
When he does have his moment in court, Gagloev is expected to repeat the allegations made today and expose many of his stable-mates as habitual users of marijuana. He did not identify people by name, but indicated that he was prepared to do so in a more formal legal setting.
That setting will be the ongoing court battle between the publisher of the magazine Weekly Gendai on one side and the Japan Sumo Association and Mongolian grand champion Asashoryu on the other. The magazine is being sued for libel after alleging that the sport was blighted with match-fixing, though legal experts believe that Gagloev's testimony will dramatically alter the direction of the case.
Although allegations of match-fixing and drug abuse have been swirling around sumo wrestling for some years, the Russian's plans to testify in court have sent a thrill of horror through the already chaos-stricken sport. It is not just that the lid has finally been lifted on Japan's national sport, but that the exposure has come at the hands of a foreigner.

The impact of polls and polling on our political process continues to be one of the unexplored stories of the 2008 race.
Take the remarkable gap -- chasm, really -- between the widening lead national polls continue to anoint Hillary Clinton with and the current dead heat in Iowa and New Hampshire.
It's enough to leave one wondering: are polls measuring the 2008 election or are they driving it?The impact of polls and polling on our political process continues to be one of the... more
