Governmental agencies have been searching seemingly without end for ways to pry into the personal communications of computer users in America. Congressional approval and cooperation from Internet companies could be an eternity away, of course, but the FBI might be able to bypass that entirely by taking the matter into their own hands. At the Quantico, Virginia headquarters of the DCAC, federal workers are believed to be already hard at work on projects that will put FBI spies into the Internet, snooping on unsuspecting American’s Skype calls, instant messages and everything else carried out with a mouse and keyboard. http://rt.com/usa/news/fbi-communications-dcac-surveillance-250/Governmental agencies have been searching seemingly without end for ways to pry into... more

Let's make one thing crystal clear, no member of the US military contributes in any way whatsoever to protecting the freedoms of the American people. As a matter of fact, they are more likely to turn their weapons on you than they are to defend your Constitutional rights. The only people on this planet Earth who can affect your freedom are members of Congress, local legislators and the members of enforcement institutions who will blindly follow the rulers who sign their paychecks. And, while your beloved troops are murdering people around the globe, yes, I said murdering, your Congress and local legislators are eliminating your freedoms, en masse, without any intervention by our so-called protectors in the armed forces. http://tvnewslies.org/tvnl/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=20246:our-troops-do-not-protect-our-freedom-and-we-should-stop-thanking-them-for-doing-so&catid=19&Itemid=77Let's make one thing crystal clear, no member of the US military contributes in... more

So why the violent police oppression and government suppression of rights? As Dan Rather said on Bill Maher’s program, “Big business is in bed with big government.” A great portion of the federal government is sponsored by big corporations, so naturally, nearly every act of Congress and the Supreme Court is done so with the ultimate goal of deregulating industry and maximizing corporate profits at the expense of citizen and consumer rights. These puppets of industry occupying our government will discredit and crack down on anyone trying to stop, delay or reverse the process by any means necessary. http://www.commondreams.org/view/2012/05/23-4So why the violent police oppression and government suppression of rights?

Capitalism is a socio-economic system that eventually is run by the rich and takes advantage by the rich at the expense of the working class that is the prime mover of the system. Capital dictates the direction of Capitalism... Let me end this by making a huge claim. This isn't Democracy, it's fascism. http://www.opednews.com/articles/Capitalism-and-Socialism-by-Timothy-Gatto-120526-496.htmlCapitalism is a socio-economic system that eventually is run by the rich and takes... more

When America goes to war or plans one, media scoundrels march in lockstep. Articles, commentaries, editorials, and broadcasts feature Washington handout-style journalism. Managed news misinformation substitutes for truth and full disclosure. Readers and viewers are deceived and betrayed. For years, Iran and Syria have been targeted for regime change. Independent governments aren't tolerated. Puppet ones are planned to replace them. Scoundrel media play leading roles. http://sjlendman.blogspot.com/2012/05/anti-iranian-propaganda.htmlWhen America goes to war or plans one, media scoundrels march in lockstep. Articles,... more

With the Western media now admitting that Syria's opposition consists in fact of very real terrorists, funded by despotic Gulf States and the West, carrying out systematic atrocities against the civilian population, we have only apathy left to blame if NATO is allowed to carry on with its campaign of military aggression - a Nuremberg offense we as a Western society swore after World War II, "Never Again!" http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2012/05/wests-undermining-of-un-paves-way-for.htmlWith the Western media now admitting that Syria's opposition consists in fact of... more

The Obama administration, as is usual in cases where they disregard the Constitution, promises this mass surveillance comes with strong safeguards and accountability. In reality, the war on terrorism is continuing to be used to justify major infringements on the civil liberties of Americans. http://www.antiwar.com/blog/2012/05/24/the-surveillance-state-trust-us-its-legal/The Obama administration, as is usual in cases where they disregard the Constitution,... more

For over 100 years, the domination of Iran has been deeply woven into the fabric of global imperialism, enforced through covert intrigues, economic bullying, military assaults, and invasions. This history provides the backdrop for U.S. hostility toward Iran today—including the real threat of war. http://revcom.us/iran-history/index.htmlFor over 100 years, the domination of Iran has been deeply woven into the fabric of... more

Yesterday I wrote a piece on the real lords of Afghan poppies and heroin operations. I am thankful to all your supportive feedback. Of course not all feedbacks were positive, and I truly understand and accept that. Many of the critics came from mainstream media and establishment’s loyal believers and followers. They found my article complicated and not rational. In various ways and using many different words-some not very pleasant, they were asking if I was accusing the United Nations, NATO, the US Government, and mainstream media outlets such as the New York Times and Newsweek Magazine of selling lies?! All that made me recall a famous quote from a ruthless despot. Actually, I ended up using that quote in my nightly news roundup: “All propaganda must be popular and its intellectual level must be adjusted to the most limited intelligence among those it is addressed to. Consequently, the greater the mass it is intended to reach, the lower its purely intellectual level will have to be.” –Adolf Hitler http://www.boilingfrogspost.com/2012/05/23/afghan-heroin-myths-and-facts-recapped-simplified-for-mainstream-followers/Yesterday I wrote a piece on the real lords of Afghan poppies and heroin operations.

The dominant social theme of the power elite is that the system of "capitalism" is the best in the world and that developing countries ought to fully adopt it. In fact, this is happening but endorsement is a signifier of popularity not reality. The reality is that central banking-based economies don't work well and eventually suffer at least quasi-collapses. This is what the US – and the West – are going through currently. http://www.thedailybell.com/3926/100-Million-Americans-Out-of-Work-This-is-a-RecoveryThe dominant social theme of the power elite is that the system of... more

Since the Second World War, the USA has been by far the most powerful capitalist state, achieving the status of a superpower. The over-riding aim of its foreign policy has been to maintain its hegemony over the capitalist world, including the underdeveloped lands of the neo-colonial world and, until the demise of Stalinism in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, to contain the economic influence and strategic power of its rival superpower, the USSR, a planned economy ruled over by a bureaucratic elite. At each stage it has acted to protect its global position: its economic dominance, its strategic power, and its prestige. http://www.socialistalternative.org/literature/gulfwar/ch2.htmlSince the Second World War, the USA has been by far the most powerful capitalist... more

Clinton Goes Commando, Sells Diplomats as Shadow Warriors ... Clinton, wearing pearls and a silver and black blouse, climbed the stage and began to speak. And soon it all made more sense. She had an idea to sell — and to defend ... She described a vision in which shadowy U.S. and allied Special Operations Forces, working hand in hand with America's embassies and foreign governments, together play a key role in preventing low-intensity conflicts. And where prevention fails, the same commando-diplomat team goes on the attack ... http://www.thedailybell.com/3929/Anthony-Wile-As-Commandos-Raid-Tampa-US-State-Dept-Demands-Power-to-Declare-War?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitterClinton Goes Commando, Sells Diplomats as Shadow Warriors ...
