But more importantly, with the new official storyline indicating that bin Laden was in fact unarmed, bigger and [...]

Which way is the tide going in the Middle East?

  This is avery interesting point of view as far as the balance of the Middle East is concerned. The real point is that where there was massive public support for a program of change it seem to have been a far better way of going anywhere. As soon as the rest of the imperial [...]

The Journey of a thousand missteps still leads nowhere

The Journey of a thousand missteps still leads nowhere

Some in the  US and many others are coming to realise the attempts to maintain or to achieve security or stability in the Middle East and particularly in Libya is a very thin disguise for “do what we say’. There is also a large element of “but do not do what we think.” That effectively [...]

By the grace of Gillard and others we will end up being universally hated

By the grace of Gillard and others we will end up being universally hated

It was very interesting to hear yet another homily on obedience from the unelected Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, given, as it were , on the run, during yet another incredibly important overseas visit. It seems that the PM believes that the violence from those incarcerated at Villawood is just oh so unacceptable. Never mind [...]

Getting the rabble to pay for the elites may not be as easy as first thought

What follows is an article from the Guardian about the nature of British resistance to the means to be used to combat the economic slump brought on by the financial community and the forces of capital It gives good cause to reflect on just what a proper attitude of Resistie e Vencer means to the elites and the media.

Who is running the Libya show?? Who cares???

There is no prize for having predicted the serious problems facing NATO in any decision to take over the war against Libya and the resettling of the old system of Libyan patronage of the imperial project  to suit the wants and needs of international capital. There is not really a take over just a continuation with another [...]

Do you feel left out by politics. Don’t because with the correct view it is really easy!!!

Now how can that be right? Almost from birth we have been told that salvation comes from above and as a result many many substandard people have held sway over both our opinions and ideas. But why is this so? Mainly because our parents had been very actively taught (propagandi sed) to believe that the [...]

Libya and the air strike invasion. Where to now that the US and others have organised carte blanche for their real intentions?

Despite humanitarian nonsense as part of feigned respect for Libyan democracy the invasion is continuing apace. It will get progressively worse no doubt. A simple rule you can use in looking at what is happening anywhere that involves the ‘glorious free west’ is that real democracy is never part of the equation. What is happening [...]

An Afghanistan article from WarisCrime

Afghanistan despite the huge amounts of coverage to other recent events remains a continuing saga or tragedy of Homeric  proportions to say the least. This very poor country has become the number one target of the imperial project and the latest major country to suffer at the hands of varying US terror regimes. Sadly the real terrorists are closer to  Alabama than Al [...]
