| Holocaust revisionist speaks at the Titan Student Union Posted: 16 Jul 2010 08:29 AM PDT  Despite the controversy surrounding the appearance of the infamous "Holocaust revisionist" Bradley Smith at Cal State Fullerton, the atmosphere was surprisingly anti-climactic as a couple dozen attendees showed up at the Alvarado room in the Titan Student Union May 6 to hear Smith speak on the topic of "The student newspaper: the question of taboo." The purpose of Smith's appearance was to argue that the American professorial class, allied with special interest organizations, supports a taboo over the free exchange of ideas regarding the Holocaust question, and that student journalists who do not cooperate put their careers at risk.  |
| Congress Passes Bankster Consolidation Bill Posted: 16 Jul 2010 03:31 AM PDT  Change has arrived. But it is not the sort of change imagined by the fawning mobs of 2008 at Obama's campaign rallies. Obama and Congress have pulled a three-card Monte on the American people. It's called "financial regulatory reform" and it hands unprecedented power over to the Federal Reserve. "This historic reform creates the strongest protections for consumers in history and the toughest financial regulations since the Great Depression," declares a triumphant White House.  |

| Rockefeller Study Envisages Future Dictatorship Controlled By Elite Posted: 16 Jul 2010 12:35 AM PDT  Global pandemics that kill millions, mandatory quarantines, checkpoints, biometric ID cards, and a world of top-down government control. These things are not lifted from the latest sci-fi blockbuster movie, they're part of the Rockefeller Foundation's vision for what the globe might be like in 15-20 years' time under a new world order tightly controlled by the elite. |
| Defiance in Isolation: The Last Stand of Omar Khadr Posted: 15 Jul 2010 11:26 PM PDT  In the last week, Omar Khadr, the only Western citizen still held in Guantánamo, has sacked his US lawyers and stated that he will boycott his forthcoming trial by Military Commission, scheduled to begin on August 10. He has also refused to have anything to do with a plea deal that was being negotiated between the prosecution and defense lawyers, which apparently involved him serving five years of a 30-year sentence if he were to plead guilty to throwing a grenade that killed a US Delta Force soldier, Sgt. Christopher Speer, on the day of his capture after a firefight in Afghanistan nearly eight years ago, on July 27, 2002. From a legal point of view, Khadr's decision to boycott his forthcoming trial appears resolutely counter-productive. Of the three prisoners convicted in the Commissions' miserable eight-year history (a fourth, Ibrahim al-Qosi, awaits sentencing after a plea deal last week), only one — Ali Hamza al-Bahlul — received a punitive sentence, being sentenced to life in prison in November 2008, after a one-sided trial in which he refused to mount a defense.  |
| RIP Charly Gittings: We've Just Lost One of the Good Guys Posted: 15 Jul 2010 09:42 PM PDT  I'm saddened to report that on the night of July 14, Charly Gittings, the most tenacious opponent of the Bush administration and its crimes, passed away at the age of 57. I had never met Charly, but we had been in email contact since November 2008, and I had been aware of his work before that time. No one who has ever researched Guantánamo can have failed, at some point, to have come across Charly's extraordinary "Project to Enforce the Geneva Conventions" (PEGC), a vast archive of documents relating to the Bush administration crimes, consisting of legal opinions, memoranda, press statements, from the courts, the White House, the DoD, the DoJ, the State Department — all the evidence required to convict senior officials of war crimes.

| Thinking outside of the box about Hamas Posted: 15 Jul 2010 08:31 PM PDT  Israel's history is replete with creative, daring military thinking. Unfortunately its policies are characterized by a great lack of strategic vision and creative thinking, particularly with respect to the question of how to deal with Hamas. This is the effect that fear has on all humans: it makes us freeze up and latch onto the current situation, even if it is clear that Israel's policies towards Hamas in the last years have failed.  |
| Clues Suggest Amiri Defection Was an Iranian Plant Posted: 15 Jul 2010 06:00 PM PDT  U.S. officials are explaining Iranian scientist Shahram Amiri's return to Iran as the result of a defector having a change of heart because of his concern about Iranian government threats to his family. Iran and Amiri himself have insisted that it is a simple case of a victim of abduction escaping his captors. But several features of the story of Amiri's defection suggest that Amiri may have been acting on Iranian government orders to defect temporarily in order to embarrass the U.S. government.  |
| Posted: 15 Jul 2010 06:00 PM PDT  By now the narrative is well-established, at least as far as the Western media is concerned: Shahram Amiri, an Iranian scientist, defected to the US last year, but changed his mind and has now returned to Iran. No matter: we squeezed him dry, as one intelligence official boasted, and received "valuable" information about Iran's nuclear weapons program (which doesn't exist and hasn't existed since 2003, according to the CIA's own assessment, but never mind that bothersome detail). "He's free to go, he was free to come," declared practiced liar Hillary Clinton, "these decisions are his alone to make." Well, he did go, and is now in Tehran, where he's being given a hero's welcome – which kind of undercuts the story that he sold out his country for $5 million. That, however, isn't the only indication that this murky affair is not what the government-media complex would have us believe. If Shahram came into the US freely, in order to pursue his "studies" at an American university, as Hillary and the CIA aver, then why is there no entry stamp on his visa, as various news account acknowledge?

| Israel Chokes Gaza Despite Announced Easing Posted: 15 Jul 2010 06:00 PM PDT  Israel has received international praise for its decision to ease its crippling blockade on Gaza following the country's deadly assault on a humanitarian flotilla trying to bring desperately needed humanitarian aid to the coastal territory. But according to the UN and human rights organizations, the easing of the blockade is insufficient in meeting Gaza's needs. "Even if the blockade is eased it remains illegal under international law as it is a collective form of punishment on a civilian population," Chris Gunness from the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) told IPS. "Eighty percent of Gaza's population is aid-dependent. Allowing more aid in is perpetuating this dependency and not addressing the issue of self- sufficiency or the root causes of the crisis," added Gunness.  |

| Trial set for first Gitmo inmate transferred to civilian system; Britain torture woes continue Posted: 15 Jul 2010 12:32 PM PDT  In a decision released July 13 (and available here), U.S. District Court Judge Lewis A. Kaplan ruled that the lengthy interrogation and incarceration of former Guantánamo Bay detainee Ahmed Ghailani did not violate his right to a speedy trial. The ruling means that Ghailani's trial will continue, making him the first Guantánamo inmate to face trial in civilian courts (NYT). Kaplan ruled that Ghailani's two-year interrogation and three-year detention at secret prisons and at Guantánamo were due to "compelling interests of national security" owing to Ghailani's alleged relationship to Osama bin Laden. He will stand trial for his purported role in the 1998 East African embassy bombings (AP, VOA). Parts of Kaplan's ruling, including a section dealing with the harsh interrogation tactics Ghailani says he was subjected to by the CIA, remain classified.

| Video Reveals Intensity of Narco-Army Gunfight on U.S.-Mexico Border Posted: 15 Jul 2010 12:10 PM PDT  A video posted on YouTube reveals the extent of the narco violence on the U.S.-Mexico border. "We heard machine guns, 9mm pistols, grenades, everything," a note posted with the video explains. The gunfire occurred in Reynosa, Mexico, across the border from McAllen, Texas, on July 11.  |
| Posted: 15 Jul 2010 10:44 AM PDT  A frail old man, wearing a black turban and ankle-length robes, stepped out of an Air France 747 into a chill February morning. His back hunched, he clutched the arm of a steward as he took faltering steps down a portable ramp to touch Iranian soil. After 15 years in exile, Ruhollah Khomeini had come home, the 78-year-old spiritual leader of a popular revolution that had toppled the shah of Iran and humbled SAVAK, his American-backed secret police force. Several million people from all across the country thronged into the capital to welcome the ayatollah, lining the 20-mile route out to Behesht-Zahra cemetery, where many of the martyrs of the revolution were buried. "The holy one has come!" they shouted triumphantly. "He is the light of our lives!" At the cemetery Khomeini prayed and delivered a 30-minute funeral oration for the dead. Then a boys' chorus sang, "May every drop of their blood turn to tulips and grow forever. Arise! Arise! Arise!"  |

| National Guard's "Homeland Response Force" to Patrol Missouri, Nine Other States Posted: 15 Jul 2010 07:39 AM PDT  Homeland Response Forces are descending upon Missouri and nine other states, where National Guard units be the face of Federal power in the regions in the event of a terrorist attack or disaster. The Sedalia Democrat reports that, along with Missouri, the state where the report was written, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Texas, Utah and California will also host the National Guard Homeland Response Forces in the name of fighting terrorism. A unit will be placed within each of the regions established by FEMA, effectively implementing Federal powers at the state level premptively.  |
| The American Double Standards Unjustifiable: Eric Garris Posted: 15 Jul 2010 07:32 AM PDT  Things are getting more complex concerning Iran's nuclear program. The Brazil, Turkey-brokered Tehran Declaration according to which Iran agreed to ship 1,200 kilograms of its Low Enriched Uranium to Turkey for further enrichment to be used in Tehran's research reactor was welcomed by a fourth round of UNSC sanctions and a set of unilateral sanctions imposed by the EU and United States against Iran. At the same time, Tel Aviv has renewed its war threats against Tehran, cautioning that it might use the Saudi Arabia's airspace to launch a military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities; however, the war of words and struggle over dominance and superiority between the governments does nothing but costing the daily life of ordinary Iranians who has been already entangled in a 30-year-long embargo by the United States.  |
| Road Warrior Collapse of Economy Eminent Posted: 15 Jul 2010 07:32 AM PDT  There can be little doubt that America, along with the west as a whole, is being set up for a total collapse in which life as we know it will be fundamentally altered and rebuilt around a collectivist model managed and controlled by the same criminals who engineered the crisis in the first place. America has been targeted for an economic, military, and social coup d'état by globalists who know that to get people to accept a new way of life under the heel of the new world order requires that the pillars of everything they knew before are completely pulverized. Freedom, prosperity, and community have no place in a "post-industrial revolution," and every assault on the living standards of American citizens is designed to infect and wither these ideals.  |
| Posted: 15 Jul 2010 06:58 AM PDT  It fell to Barack Obama, as is often the case, to identify the problem. But, as is often the case, he had no solution. Speaking in Strasbourg, France, deep in the subsidized heartlands of the European Union in April last year, Obama deplored a growing mutual antipathy, bordering on open hostility, between Europe and America. Europeans were too often guilty of an "insidious" anti-Americanism while Americans had at times "shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive" of Europe's achievements.  |
| Posted: 15 Jul 2010 05:44 AM PDT  Over 1,100 pages of previously classified Vietnam-era transcripts released this week by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee highlight the fact that several Senators knew that the White House and the Pentagon had deceived the American people over the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident. The latest releases, which document skepticism over the pretext for entry into the Vietnam war, date from 1968.  |
| Obama-Dodd-Frank FinReg Monstrosity Delays Derivatives Curbs until 2022! Posted: 15 Jul 2010 05:38 AM PDT  The Obama-Dodd-Frank financial regulation bill, a miserable excuse for real Wall Street reform, is now about to gain final approval in the Senate. This wretched bill is now supported by the New England liberal (meaning Wall Street) Republican clique including Olympia Snow, Susan Collins, and Scott Brown, who are joined by the notoriously corrupt reactionary Democrat, Ben Nelson of Nebraska. This bill will create a multitude of new regulations and a number of large new bureaucracies, but it is utterly devoid of any bright-line prohibitions against the causes of the financial panic which struck the United States in 2008, and which continues to the present day in the form of a world economic depression.  |
| Thursday: 16 Iraqis Killed, 32 Wounded Posted: 15 Jul 2010 05:28 AM PDT  Updated at 7:04 p.m. EDT, July 15, 2010 At least 16 Iraqis were killed and 32 more were wounded in the latest attacks. A large car bombing in Tikrit could produce more casualties as the day wears on. Meanwhile, the jail at Camp Cropper was handed over to the Iraqis and renamed al-Karkh prison.  |
| Prince Charles attacks climate change 'sceptics' Posted: 15 Jul 2010 03:48 AM PDT  The Prince of Wales launched a stinging attack on "climate sceptics" deriding them for peddling "pseudo science". In a speech to world business leaders at a climate change seminar Charles criticised the group for apparently intimidating people from "adopting the precautionary measures necessary to avert environmental collapse".  |
| Posted: 15 Jul 2010 03:05 AM PDT  1948 Palestinian human rights defender Ameer Makhoul is being held by Israel due to his activities to promote the human and national rights of the Palestinian people, particularly those within the state of Israel. Makhoul, Executive Director of Ittijah: Union of Arab Community-Based Associations, was taken from his home in Haifa on 6 May 2010 and held incommunicado for several weeks, with no access to legal counsel or visits from his family. Israel is accusing Makhoul of espionage and assistance to an enemy during wartime, charges that Makhoul vehemently denies.  |
| It's time to lift the communications embargo on Cuba Posted: 15 Jul 2010 02:36 AM PDT  Fidel Castro may have looked weak and confused at times during his TV appearance this week, but the rare prime-time address by the former Cuban leader had the desired effect: He managed, for a day, to recapture the media spotlight and demonstrate that he was lucid enough to be aware of his government's promised release of 52 political prisoners. Most of the attention afterward was spent commenting on the softball questions he was asked and his apparent decision to trade in his olive fatigues for a tracksuit. But sartorial issues aside, the reappearance of Cuba's octogenarian revolutionary (an oxymoron if there ever was one) sent a strong signal to Cuba watchers that the prisoner release does not herald a softening of policy under the rule of his brother, Raul Castro.  |
| Posted: 15 Jul 2010 01:30 AM PDT  In 2009, the Taliban destroyed 10 girls' schools in the tribal district of Dir in Northwest Pakistan - schools which Maryam Bibi's charity, Khwendo Kor, had helped to build. Now she and her supporters are risking their lives by working to rebuild them, organising tents as temporary classrooms, until the burnt out schools can be rebuilt. Filmmaker Farah Durrani followed Maryam and spoke to Al Jazeera's Donata von Hardenberg about Maryam's mission, and the daily lives of those struggling to survive amid the warfare of Pakistan's tribal districts.  |

| Lieberman's Model For America: Purging The Internet of Dissent Posted: 15 Jul 2010 12:03 AM PDT  When Senator Joe Lieberman attempted to justify draconian legislation that would provide President Obama with a figurative kill switch to shut down parts of the Internet, he cited the Chinese system of Internet policing as model which America should move towards. Given the fact that Lieberman seeks to mimic the Chinese system as the goal of his Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act, should it concern us that the Chinese government routinely orders Twitter and Facebook-like services to "purge sites of politically "sensitive" words and expressions," as the Financial Times reports today?  |

| UK Sought Rendition of British Nationals to Guantánamo; Tony Blair Directly Involved Posted: 14 Jul 2010 10:49 PM PDT  With what the Guardian described yesterday as the "almost unprecedented" release of "security service reports of interviews with detainees in Guantánamo Bay and other overseas detention centres," the coalition government failed in its attempt to persuade the High Court to bring a temporary halt to a civil claim for damages filed by six former Guantánamo prisoners, unleashing, instead, a torrent of previously classified and deeply disturbing documents. These reveal, shockingly, how the Labour government was happy for British nationals and residents seized in Afghanistan and Pakistan to be rendered to Guantánamo by the Bush administration, and how, in one case — that of Martin Mubanga, seized in Zambia — Tony Blair's office intervened to prevent attempts by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to have him returned to the UK, leading to his imprisonment in Guantánamo for two years and nine months.  |
| PA 'must not bow to blackmail' Posted: 14 Jul 2010 10:17 PM PDT  Barack Obama, the US president, has asked the Palestinians to resume direct talks with Israel before an Israeli moratorium on settlement building expires in September. The Palestinians have so far refused to participate in direct talks until there is progress in US mediated indirect talks with Israel.  |
| Israel's Confidence-Destroying Measures Posted: 14 Jul 2010 10:11 PM PDT  Despite Israel's perceived strength it really isn't in a position to bargain. America is now the only dependable ally, having lost Europe after the Gaza war. Turkey has renewed the diplomatic vigor against Israel's hostility towards Iran and unilateral actions in the Palestinian territories while the Arab League, sensing blood, is circling the waters. The Palestinians hold a strong hand and don't need to rush into direct talks. Nor is the traditional fear of obstructing direct talks as high with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu squeezed internally from both sides and masquerading around "peace."  |
| Posted: 14 Jul 2010 10:04 PM PDT  A confluence of news stories emerged this past week that, if related, shed an unusual light on the deteriorating crisis in the mid-east, most especially on Palestine and Iran. On June 27th, Ha'aretz made this observation about discussions at the G-8 meeting in Ontario: "World leaders 'believe absolutely' that Israel may decide to take military action against Iran to prevent the latter from acquiring nuclear weapons," citing a statement made by Italy's PM Silvio Berlusconi.  |
| Under Threat: A Free and Open Internet Posted: 14 Jul 2010 10:01 PM PDT  First some background. As a candidate, Obama pledged support for "network neutrality to preserve the benefits of open competition on the Internet." As president, he reneged across the board, including for Internet freedom and openness, Boston.com writer Joelle Tessler headlining, "FCC votes to reconsider broadband regulations," saying: Federal regulators are "wading into a bitter policy dispute that could be tied up in Congress and the courts for years." At stake: a free, open, and affordable Internet, threatened by powerful phone and cable giants wanting to privatize and control it, have unregulated pricing power, and decide what's published at what speed or blocked.  |

| Why Do We Still Have Troops in Korea? Posted: 14 Jul 2010 06:00 PM PDT  Currently, the world's largest naval exercise – RIMPAC – is underway in Hawaii. Fourteen nations are participating with 32 ships, five submarines, more than 170 aircraft, and more than 20,000 personnel. The ever paranoid (just remember, however, that even if you're paranoid it doesn't mean they're not out to get you!) North Koreans are calling RIMPAC a "dangerous military provocation" and a sign that the U.S. is plotting to attack the DRPK. While the U.S. may not be plotting to attack North Korea, it's entirely possible that in the wake of tensions over the sinking of a South Korean naval ship in March, the United States – because of a Mutual Defense Treaty with South Korea signed in 1953 that stipulates an attack on either party would summon a response from both – could be drawn into another conflict on the Korean peninsula. But why should the United States risk going to war against North Korea?  |

| NASA Reaches Out to Planet Islam Posted: 14 Jul 2010 04:01 PM PDT  A year ago in Cairo, Barack Hussein Obama addressed the Muslim world with the same buttock-splayed obsequiousness he exhibits toward all of America's blood enemies. Citing "civilization's debt to Islam," he credited Mohammedan culture with the development of algebra, the magnetic compass, the writing pen, and basic medical advances in healing. Never mind that the Greeks developed algebra, the Chinese invented the compass, the Egyptians and/or Indians gave us the pen, and most Islamic medical "advances" were swiped from the ancient Hellenists. Last month, former astronaut and current NASA Administrator Charles Bolden toured the Middle East in commemoration of Obama's speech. He sat down for a televised interview with the Al Jazeera Network. When asked why he was visiting the Islamic world, this was his reply:  |
| The Centre for Social Justice and Reverberations from The Spectator Garden Party Posted: 14 Jul 2010 04:00 PM PDT  My last week in London felt like end of school term, bittersweet. I was glad to be flying off to the sun, but sad to leave good friends and very good times behind. Mind you, the last night following the Speccie summer party descended into farce when my Low Life colleague and I were photographed at 5 a.m. having a spirited discussion about the human condition. Jeremy wrote about it last week but he chose to forget certain details. Both he and I had been boozing for at least ten hours, but thankfully had not started until after we were presented to a very gracious and friendly Prime Minister. When a driver pitched up to pick me up for the airport I was in a bad way. Tim Hoare, whose house Jeremy, Charlie Glass, Andrei Navrosov and I had invaded, offered his driver to take Clarke to a hotel. "Where do you want him to take you, Claridge's, the Savoy..?" "Er, actually the YMCA at King's Cross," stammered Jeremy, "they usually give me a bed there." "In that case I think you better stay here," said Tim, a very generous host. Thus Jeremy was found by Hoare's butler a few hours later walking around semi-naked trying to boil an egg.  |
| Forget Mexico, Let's Wall Off D.C. Posted: 14 Jul 2010 04:00 PM PDT  It is plain that no U.S. administration of any party is going to build a wall along our nation's southern border. "Can't be done," our leaders tell us, shaking their heads in mock despair, while feeling under the desk for the envelopes full of benjamins being passed from cheap-labor lobbyists and race-grievance shills. "Too much border . . . mountainous terrain . . . impossible to patrol . . ." They are of course lying, but I can't bring myself to care much any more. So far as buildings walls is concerned, a wall along the southern border would in any case be my second priority. If I had my druthers, and there was a 40-foot concrete wall to be built, I'd build it around Washington, D.C.  |
| Obama Says U.S. Will 'Redouble' Efforts Against Somali Islamist Group Posted: 14 Jul 2010 03:00 PM PDT  Barack Obama has said Washington will "redouble" its efforts against the Somali Islamist group al-Shabaab (The Youth), whose deadly bombings in Kampala, Uganda on Sunday are likely to result in stepped-up U.S. military and other assistance to the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) in Mogadishu. In an interview with the South African Broadcasting Corporation Tuesday, Obama suggested that the group represents a growing threat to the region.

| US university suspends Muslim student group for Palestine protest Posted: 14 Jul 2010 03:00 PM PDT  In response to intense political pressure by multiple pro-Zionist organizations, the administration at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) recently decided to suspend Muslim students' right to assemble and practice their faith together on campus. Alleging that emails anonymously "leaked" to the university prove that the Muslim Student Union was responsible for a protest of Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren's campus appearance by eight UCI students, the administration plans to suspend the more than 250-member Muslim Student Union for a year beginning in September, and place it under intense scrutiny and disciplinary probation if the student group is allowed to re-apply for recognition in the fall of 2011. |

| Posted: 14 Jul 2010 11:56 AM PDT  The recent story of the Russian spies sent to infiltrate the highest reaches of American society -- starting in Montclair, New Jersey -- has once again confirmed the old maxim, "History repeats itself, first as tragedy, then as farce." The 12 Russian agents sent by the former KGB's international branch, now the SVR, seemed to have spent more time on Facebook than uncovering secrets. Like Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase in the old spoof Spies Like Us, these real-life Karlas are a bit goofier than their imaginary Cold War precedents.  |
| Survey Charts Darfur Opinion for First Time Posted: 14 Jul 2010 11:08 AM PDT  More than seven years into the crisis in Sudan's western region of Darfur, the first survey to systematically document the views of Darfuri refugees is being released Thursday. The report, entitled "Darfurian Voices," offers a rare, direct insight into the mindset of those most affected by an ongoing conflict that the United Nations estimates has already left 300,000 dead and another 2.7 million displaced. 24 Hours for Darfur, a U.S.-based organization, interviewed more than 2,000 Darfuri refugees on the Chadian side of the Sudan-Chad border to compile the results.  |
| Wednesday: 16 Iraqis Killed, 39 Wounded Posted: 14 Jul 2010 05:33 AM PDT Updated at 8:28 p.m. EDT, July 14, 2010 At least 16 Iraqis were killed and 39 more were wounded in the latest round of violence. Meanwhile, U.S. authorities transferred 55 high-level detainees, including Tariq Aziz, to their Iraqi counterparts. Also, Turkey is considering building a new army that will handle their war against PKK rebels.  |
| Democrat Levin Demands More Illegal Attacks On Pakistan Posted: 14 Jul 2010 04:11 AM PDT  More evidence there is little discernible difference between Republicans and Democrats. Long time archaic Senate fixture Carl Levin who pretends to represent the people of Michigan has called for stepping up the Pentagon murder campaign to violate Pakistan's borders and kill its people. "A leading Democrat said the U.S. should be more aggressive in conducting airstrikes against groups inside Pakistan that threaten the mission in neighboring Afghanistan," reports Politico. "Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, told reporters Tuesday morning that the U.S. should go after groups like the Haqqani network that 'directly threaten' the mission in Afghanistan. Levin returned Monday evening from a trip to Afghanistan and Pakistan."  |
| The Way to America's Heart Is Through Its Stomach Posted: 14 Jul 2010 04:11 AM PDT  New York's Fancy Food Show, a mammoth twice-a-year specialty food industry convention that took place from June 27 to 29, was quite the affair. There was Rick Bayless, reportedly one of Barack Obama's favorite chefs, making chicken tacos in the basement. Upstairs, Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi was posing for pictures with eager fans. Not too far away, candy-maker Jelly Belly made a copy of the Mona Lisa entirely out of its jelly beans.  |
| Cyndi Steele Heard Anomalies in Government Tapes Posted: 13 Jul 2010 11:58 PM PDT  A recent interview on the Jim Giles show with Ingri Cassel related information from Cyndi Steele. Ms. Cassel talked with Cyndi the same day Cyndi Steele listened to the alleged "murder plot" tapes and noted that the background noise changed and the inflection in Edgar Steele's voice disappeared whenever any conversation about the "murder plot" started. Other conversations about what work Fairfax was supposed to do around the ranch didn't have these problems.

| Top Clinton Official: Only A Terror Attack Can Save Obama Posted: 13 Jul 2010 11:19 PM PDT  A former senior advisor to President Bill Clinton says that the only thing which can rescue Barack Obama's increasingly tenuous grip on power as his approval figures continue to plunge is a terror attack on the scale of Oklahoma City or 9/11, another startling reminder that such events only ever serve to benefit those in authority.  |
| Innocent Student Finally Released from Guantánamo Posted: 13 Jul 2010 10:43 PM PDT  Finally! 48 days after a District Court judge ordered the release of Mohammed Hassan Odaini, a Yemeni prisoner in Guantánamo, the Obama administration has sent him home. Odaini's case had become an embarrassment for the administration, which had been obliged to concede that it had no basis on which to appeal the judge's decision. As an official explained to the Washington Post on June 19, it would be "unconscionable" to appeal Odaini's case. "This is a bad case to argue," the official stated. "There is nothing there. The bottom line is: We don't have anything on this kid. The judge wants a progress report by June 25th. We have to be able to report something other than we are thinking about it."  |
| Posted: 13 Jul 2010 04:00 PM PDT  The American civil calendar is not alone in being festooned with holidays celebrating political factions and the central state. Most famously, perhaps, the chief French holiday is today, le quatorze juillet: July 14, Bastille Day. By chance I read a celebratory squib last July 14. I objected that Bastille Day merits no celebration, that it symbolizes a series of events that bathed Europe and much of the rest of the world in blood. According to family lore, my four-greats-grandfather died in his early 20s at a north Prussian site in 1806. It seems likely to me that Murat's invading French horsemen had something to do with that poor fellow's untimely death.  |
| Awkward Truths About the Awkward Squad Posted: 13 Jul 2010 04:00 PM PDT  As the cooling winds of austerity move in across superheated Britain, one gallant group is arming for war. The large trade unions, headed up by the so-called "Awkward Squad" of leftist leaders, are on the move. It is time, the Awkward ones believe, for another Hunger March, another General Strike, another Grunwick. It is time for new Scargills to arise from the ashes of the labour movement, and man the barricades against the stormtroopers of the Tory regime. It is Marx against Gradgrind, flat cap against top hat, Doncaster against Eton, Walthamstow Dogs against Royal Ascot, football against croquet, egg and chips against funny foreign food.  |
| Posted: 13 Jul 2010 02:00 PM PDT  Not since President Eisenhower sent troops to Little Rock and JFK sent U.S. marshals to the University of Alabama has the federal government seemed so at war with a state of the union. Arkansas and Alabama were defying U.S. court orders to desegregate. But Barack Obama's war on Arizona is not a war of necessity. It is a war of choice—an unprovoked war, undertaken not to defend constitutional or civil rights, but to pander to his party's left and Hispanic voters.  |

| Judge Orders Release from Guantánamo of Yemeni Seized in Iran, Held in Secret CIA Prisons Posted: 13 Jul 2010 09:18 AM PDT  On Thursday, in the District Court in Washington D.C., Judge Paul Friedman took the tally of victories by the Guantánamo prisoners to 37, out of 51 cases decided, when he granted the habeas corpus petition of Hussein Almerfedi, a 33-year old Yemeni, and instructed the Obama administration to "take all necessary and appropriate steps to facilitate the release of petitioner forthwith." Judge Friedman's unclassified opinion has not yet been released, so it is not, at present, possible to know why he granted Hussein Almerfedi's habeas petition, but clues can be found in publicly available documents released by the Pentagon, which I drew on for my explanation of his story in my book The Guantánamo Files.  |
| Can the CIA Keep Defectors from Redefecting? Posted: 13 Jul 2010 09:03 AM PDT  Iranian nuclear scientist Shahram Amiri, who has been missing for over a year, has reportedly taken refuge at the Pakistani Embassy in Washington and wants to return to Iran. Amiri claims to have been kidnapped by the Central Intelligence Agency, though it had been reported earlier that Amiri had defected of his own free will and had been resettled in the United States by the CIA. Assuming Amiri did defect, would the CIA have any way to keep him for going back to Iran?  |
| Not Your Father's Françafrique Posted: 13 Jul 2010 08:32 AM PDT  In "Why is France Still Propping Up Africa's Dictators?," Boubacar Boris Diop offers a worn-out caricature of France's Africa policy -- and, more importantly, of Africa itself. By painting France as an all-powerful puppeteer, Diop endorses the cliché of a continent devoid of agency, which does not write its own history. Paris certainly had a hand in a few African coups in the distant past, but the idea that Paris is still pulling the strings from behind the scenes is ludicrous. Diop would be hard-pressed to find any role played by France in the recent coups in countries such as Guinea, Mauritania, and even Niger -- where, if we are to believe Diop, France's energy interests are so important. Far from pulling the strings, France is, most of the time, trying to maintain its neutrality and merely keeping the score.  |

This week on the Listening Post's radar: the tweet that ended the 20-year career of a CNN journalist and a Russian social networking site that is not for the masses but strictly for those of class.
Alex starts off the show with a strong message and a reminder of who is causing all of these global depressions and what they stand to gain if they succeed.
America Stands On The Precipice Of Total Collapse Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones www Wednesday, July 14, 2010 There can be little doubt that America, along with the west as a whole, is being set up for a total collapse in which life as we know it will be fundamentally altered and rebuilt around a collectivist model managed and controlled by the same criminals who engineered the crisis in the first place. America has been targeted for an economic, military, and social coup d'état by globalists who know that to get people to accept a new way of life under the heel of the new world order requires that the pillars of everything they knew before are completely pulverized. Freedom, prosperity, and community have no place in a "post-industrial revolution," and every assault on the living standards of American citizens is designed to infect and wither these ideals. We are looking at a road warrior style collapse of society within two years if the entities that orchestrated the crisis are allowed to pose as saviors and institute their austerity fascism, carbon taxes, "green economy," post-industrial revolution, and the evisceration of America's first world status that will inevitably follow if such measures are allowed to pass. The plan for America is to sink the country into chaos so that it can be swallowed whole and consumed as part of the march towards global government.
Welcome to another important episode of the New World Next Week - the video series from CorbettReport.com & MediaMonarchy.com that covers the critical issues in alt news & open source intel. This week: Story #1: Missing Iranian Nuclear Scientist Turns Up at Pak Embassy 
On 9 July, as Israeli Border Police officers brutalized demonstrators at the weekly protest in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of occupied East Jerusalem, forcing them away from a street where several homes had been seized by radical right-wing Jewish settlers, I visited the Jerusalem International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) headquarters just a few hundred meters away.
The al-Rajabi family of the Beit Hanina neighborhood in occupied East Jerusalem were made homeless on Tuesday, 13 July, after Israeli demolition vehicles razed their home to the ground. Five other homes and structures were destroyed earlier in the day in the Issawiya and Jabal al-Mukabber neighborhoods, also in East Jerusalem. 
Demonstrating that the continued attacks being made on Iran, by presidents, prime ministers and the mass media, are smokescreens for the real danger to world peace: Israel and more lies about weapons of mass destruction. Commentators from the mainstream media accept just about anything that is fed to them, by the White House or favoured politicians, and repeat it, like parrots, to their mass audiences, whether the information is accurate or not. "The International Bureau of Double Standards" is, of course, a euphemism for the way that the New World Order operates, and, unless we all learn to see through the lies, half truths and damaging innuendo, we will only have ourselves to blame for the way our futures and those of our children are affected.

"If you live under a colonial regime, the first thing you are prevented from doing is thinking about a future," proclaims Sandi Hilal. "This is the first thing that the occupation imposes on you. And to propose in Palestine right now a future where you can plan, imagine, is something which is very important." 
At least 20 young American men of Somali background left their homes in Minneapolis to return to Somalia and fight alongside a militant group called al-Shabab.
The racist discrimination neither media or politicians dare to speak about!
Alex talks with Larry Pratt, the executive director of Gun Owners of America, a US-based firearms lobbying group, and a former member of the Virginia House of Delegates. Pratt has founded a variety of organizations, including English First, Gun Owners of America, US Border Control, and Committee to Protect the Family.
Liberty, equality and fraternity but where do France's Muslims fit into that national motto? France's National Assembly voted almost unanimously to ban the face veil.
What lies behind the case of Iranian Shahram Amiri? And could it cast some light on whether or not Iran intends to develop a nuclear weapon?

Ladies & gentlemen, welcome to the 33rd episode of New World Next Week - the weekly video series from CorbettReport.com & MediaMonarchy.com that uncovers some of the most important developments in alternative news & open source intelligence. This week: Story #1: Neocons Claim Osama is a Guest of Iranian Government 
Alex also talks with Richard Reeves, the host of "Frontline Texas." Reeves confronted Texas governor Rick Perry on the shut down of the Texas Gun Shows event in Austin, Texas.
Max Keiser joins us to talk about Karmabanque, a way to use the leverage of the hedge funds to turn Wall Street against the multinationals. We discuss the Coke boycott and the power of strategic activism. 
The Jewish Matrix of Power in America - narrated by Dr. David Duke. In this video I demonstrate the power of Jewish extremists in media, politics and finance in America. If Jewish radicals didn't have the power I say that they do, how could an extremist Jewish organizations such as Chabad Lubavitch meet with Presidents and Premiers, and put of thousands of Jewish Menorahs on public ground in Europe and America at the same time Crosses are banned! How can this organization whose basic tenants are that all Gentiles are satanic and are biologically inferior to Jews get the support of world leaders and not receive a peep of protest from the mainstream press? The reason they get away with it is because of their unholy influence over the politicians an the press. And as I quote the Los Angeles Jewish Times, they do own and control the lion share of media in America and the Western World. Please make your comments civil and fair-minded. No profanity or hateful speech will be allowed, just civil discourse. The media is interested in portraying those of us who expose Jewish extremism, as hatemongers and bigots. In truth, the real extremists and bigots are those like Chabad Lubavitch. I will not let this page be infiltrated by trolls who will try to make us appear in the Hollywood image of so-called anti-Semites or hateful racists. We are simply people working to preserve our heritage and freedom, not to trying to take away others freedom or human rights.
Top Clinton Official: Only A Terror Attack Can Save Obama Paul Joseph Watson 
A strange reaction from the audience at Cal State Fullerton to the wind-up of the talk on 06 May, which reminds him of the Norman Rockwell paintings.
Ever since December 2008, the Federal Reserve has held short-term interest rates near zero. This was not only to try to stimulate the housing and credit markets but also to allow the federal government to increase its debt levels without increasing the interest tab picked up by the taxpayers. The total
