Is there reason to be happy that the insufferably religious George W. is
soon to be history? "I believe that Christ died for my sins and I am
redeemed through him. That is a source of strength and sustenance on a daily

How Many Americans Died Because of Bush's Torture Program?

Somalia: Another CIA-Backed Coup Blows Up
By Mike Whitney
Up until a month ago, no one in the Bush administration showed the least bit
of interest in the incidents of piracy off the coast of Somalia. Now that's
all changed and there's talk of sending in the Navy to patrol the waters off
the Horn of Africa and clean up the pirates hideouts. Why the sudden

I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a living will be
one with no thought to their separateness as Negroes, Jews, Italians or any
other distinctions. This will be the day when we bring into full realization
the American dream -- a dream yet unfulfilled. A dream of equality of
opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed; a dream of a land
where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the
few; a dream of a land where men will not argue that the color of a man's
skin determines the content of his character; a dream of a nation where all
our gifts and resources are held not for ourselves alone, but as instruments
of service for the rest of humanity; the dream of a country where every man
will respect the dignity and worth of the human personality: Martin
Luther King, Jr.:

Afghanistan: Another Untold Story
By Michael Parenti
The war against Afghanistan, a battered impoverished country, continues to
be portrayed in US official circles as a gallant crusade against terrorism.
If it ever was that, it also has been a means to other things: destroying a
leftist revolutionary social order, gaining profitable control of one of the
last vast untapped reserves of the earth's dwindling fossil fuel supply, and
planting US bases and US military power into still another region of the
world.

The Mumbai Attacks
More Than Meets the Eye
By Jeremy R. Hammond
As details emerge about who was responsible for the terrorist attacks in

The Last US Enemy Combatant
The Shocking Story of Ali al-Marri
By Andy Worthington
In brighter times, before a fog of fear descended on the United States, and
the discourse of decent men and women was coarsened by an acceptance of the
use of torture as a "no-brainer," it would have been inconceivable that an
American could have been held for seven years without charge or trial on the
US mainland, in a state of solitary confinement so debilitating that he is
said to be suffering from "severe damage to his mental and emotional
well-being.

Harper's Coup; Power grab in Ottawa
By Mike Whitney
The Prime Minister has been a staunch supporter of George Bush and the US
wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Many of his critics accuse him of being a
neoconservative allied to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the
Bilderburger Group. He is alleged to be a proponent of plans for a North
American Union, which is an elitist scheme to end US sovereignty by merging
the three countries-- Canada, the US, and Mexico--into one superstate.

I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a living will be
one with no thought to their separateness as Negroes, Jews, Italians or any
other distinctions. This will be the day when we bring into full realization
the American dream -- a dream yet unfulfilled. A dream of equality of
opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed; a dream of a land
where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the
few; a dream of a land where men will not argue that the color of a man's
skin determines the content of his character; a dream of a nation where all
our gifts and resources are held not for ourselves alone, but as instruments
of service for the rest of humanity; the dream of a country where every man
will respect the dignity and worth of the human personality: Martin
Luther King, Jr.:

Afghanistan: Another Untold Story
By Michael Parenti
The war against Afghanistan, a battered impoverished country, continues to
be portrayed in US official circles as a gallant crusade against terrorism.
If it ever was that, it also has been a means to other things: destroying a
leftist revolutionary social order, gaining profitable control of one of the
last vast untapped reserves of the earth's dwindling fossil fuel supply, and
planting US bases and US military power into still another region of the
world.

The Last US Enemy Combatant
The Shocking Story of Ali al-Marri
By Andy Worthington
In brighter times, before a fog of fear descended on the United States, and
the discourse of decent men and women was coarsened by an acceptance of the
use of torture as a "no-brainer," it would have been inconceivable that an
American could have been held for seven years without charge or trial on the
US mainland, in a state of solitary confinement so debilitating that he is
said to be suffering from "severe damage to his mental and emotional
well-being.

Harper's Coup; Power grab in Ottawa
By Mike Whitney
The Prime Minister has been a staunch supporter of George Bush and the US
wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Many of his critics accuse him of being a
neoconservative allied to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the
Bilderburger Group. He is alleged to be a proponent of plans for a North
American Union, which is an elitist scheme to end US sovereignty by merging
the three countries-- Canada, the US, and Mexico--into one superstate.

Obama's War
By Patrick J.
Buchanan
Just two months after the
twin towers fell, the armies of the Northern Alliance marched into Kabul. The
Taliban fled. The triumph was total in the "splendid little war" that had cost
one U.S. casualty. Or so it seemed. Yet, last month, the war against the Taliban
entered its eighth year, the second longest war in our history, and America and
NATO have never been nearer to strategic defeat.

Should Dick Cheney
Be Hanged?

Video And Transcript
We hanged people for
waterboarding as a war crime, in Dick Cheney's lifetime. With that is as the
historical context, the vice president cavalierly told ABC News that he
specifically approved that same technique being used against the prisoner named
Khalid Sheikh Mohammad.

Iraqi Shoe Thrower
Prompts Racist Rant From Bill O'Reilly
By RNIF
First he says that the
shoe thrower is evidence of the ingratitude, "violence" and "irrational
thinking" in the "Arab world", before going to on discuss the "danger from the
Muslim world" and whether torture is the right way to go about dealing with it.
Note also the graphic shown at the beginning and end of the segment of the
American flag and a menacing, red-coloured star and crescent.

MCC chief John Danilovich
on November 25 suspended the 175-million-dollar aid program launched in
Nicaragua in 2005, after the ruling Sandinista party of President Daniel Ortega
won most of the mayoral elections, amid allegations of widespread fraud.

allegations, for fear of undermining federal prosecutors' criminal
investigation.

Obama's War
By Patrick J.
Buchanan
Just two months after the
twin towers fell, the armies of the Northern Alliance marched into Kabul. The
Taliban fled. The triumph was total in the "splendid little war" that had cost
one U.S. casualty. Or so it seemed. Yet, last month, the war against the Taliban
entered its eighth year, the second longest war in our history, and America and
NATO have never been nearer to strategic defeat.

Iraqi Shoe Thrower
Prompts Racist Rant From Bill O'Reilly
By RNIF
First he says that the
shoe thrower is evidence of the ingratitude, "violence" and "irrational
thinking" in the "Arab world", before going to on discuss the "danger from the
Muslim world" and whether torture is the right way to go about dealing with it.
Note also the graphic shown at the beginning and end of the segment of the
American flag and a menacing, red-coloured star and crescent.

"A new fascism promises security from the terror of crime. All that is
required is that we take away the criminals' rights -- which, of course, are

"The whole drift of our law is toward the absolute prohibition of all ideas
that diverge in the slightest form from the accepted platitudes, and behind
that drift of law there is a far more potent force of growing custom, and
under that custom there is a natural philosophy which erects conformity into
the noblest of virtues and the free functioning of personality into a
capital crime against society."-- H. L. Mencken(1880-1956)

under that custom there is a natural philosophy which erects conformity into
the noblest of virtues and the free functioning of personality into a
capital crime against society."-- H. L. Mencken(1880-1956)

Iraq: Some U.S. Combat Troops To Be Reclassified
By Staff
The U.S-Iraq agreement calls for the withdrawal of combat forces from Iraq
cities by June, but officials say many will remain as reclassified
personnel. Military planners acknowledge many will be renamed "trainers" and
"advisers" in what officials told The New York Times (NYSE:NYT) are
essentially combat roles.

Israel's dress rehearsal for Lebanon

Israel has never recovered from its defeat at the hands of Hezbollah during

morale and put the finishing touches on the battle plan.

Blue Star Rampage
Israel's dress rehearsal for Lebanon
By Mike Whitney
Israel has never recovered from its defeat at the hands of Hezbollah during
the 33 Day war in 2006, so it is preparing for a reprisal. The attack on
Gaza is just a "dry run"; a confidence-building exercise to strengthen
morale and put the finishing touches on the battle plan.

America's Soul Sickness & Permanent War
Obama's Rude Awakening
By Roberto Rodriguez
Obama's first challenge will not be the unresolved Middle East crisis. Nor
will it be Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo or the economy. His primary
challenge will come in coming face to face with the Bush/Cheney doctrine of
permanent worldwide war. Unless Obama renounces it on inauguration day, this
doctrine will continue to be U.S. policy.

Many Americans do love their police state:
Unfortunately, all too many of our friends, neighbors and relations have
come to relish acting like bit players in a bad Cold War film. They're more
than happy to bow down to the nearest uniform so long as somebody assures
them it will "keep us safe" -- from whom, it doesn't matter, though it's
certainly not from overbearing authorities.

Israel's Free Ride Ends
As Israel pulverises Gaza, questions and doubts about Israeli policy
are becoming more prominent in the American media
By Michelle Goldberg
It's a common, almost clichéd observation that the American media is less
critical of Israeli policy than the Israeli media. In mainstream American
depictions of the ceaseless misery of the Middle East, Israeli righteousness
and Arab violence are routinely emphasised. The reality of Israeli
settlements and Palestinian suffering have been, at best, a footnote.

Things One Sees From The Hague

I don't write these words with joy, but with sorrow and deep shame. Despite
all the slack the world has cut us since as long as we can remember, despite

rockets were launched on nearby towns and villages in the south of Israel.

Israel's Free Ride Ends
As Israel pulverises Gaza, questions and doubts about Israeli policy
are becoming more prominent in the American media
By Michelle Goldberg
It's a common, almost clichéd observation that the American media is less
critical of Israeli policy than the Israeli media. In mainstream American
depictions of the ceaseless misery of the Middle East, Israeli righteousness
and Arab violence are routinely emphasised. The reality of Israeli
settlements and Palestinian suffering have been, at best, a footnote.

Things One Sees From The Hague
By Gideon Levy
I don't write these words with joy, but with sorrow and deep shame. Despite
all the slack the world has cut us since as long as we can remember, despite

If we continue like this, maybe one day a new, special court will be
established in The Hague.

The Wrong Man for the Job
By Scott Ritter
It is highly doubtful that Holbrooke will bring anything more to the table than
cheerleading. President Obama's stated intention to increase the size of the
U.S.
military presence in Afghanistan and to more forcefully assert U.S.-imposed
"security"
through continued military action in the Northwest Frontier of Pakistan is a
dangerous
scheme, one Holbrooke will enthusiastically support.

U.S. Moving Toward Czarism, Away From Democracy
By David Sirota
History's great American parables teach that if anything unified our founders,
it
was a deep antipathy to dictatorship. As bourgeois revolutionaries from Boston
to
Philadelphia courageously split with the British crown in 1776, they created
three
equal branches of government to prevent, in the words of James Madison, "a
tyrannical
concentration of all the powers" in a president's hands.

The World Won't Buy Unlimited U.S. Debt
We're asking others to sacrifice for our 'stimulus.'
By PETER SCHIFF
Currently, U.S. citizens comprise less than 5% of world population, but account
for more than 25% of global GDP. Given our debts and weakening economy, this
disproportionate
advantage should narrow. Yet the U.S. is asking much poorer foreign nations to
maintain
the status quo, and incredibly, they are complying. At least for now.

US seizing of Iranian ship 'a covert op':
The interception of an Iranian arms ship by the US Navy in the Red Sea last week
likely was conducted as a covert operation and is being played down by the US

The Wrong Man for the Job
By Scott Ritter
It is highly doubtful that Holbrooke will bring anything more to the table than
cheerleading. President Obama's stated intention to increase the size of the
U.S.
military presence in Afghanistan and to more forcefully assert U.S.-imposed
"security"
through continued military action in the Northwest Frontier of Pakistan is a
dangerous
scheme, one Holbrooke will enthusiastically support.

U.S. Moving Toward Czarism, Away From Democracy
By David Sirota
History's great American parables teach that if anything unified our founders,
it
was a deep antipathy to dictatorship. As bourgeois revolutionaries from Boston
to
Philadelphia courageously split with the British crown in 1776, they created
three
equal branches of government to prevent, in the words of James Madison, "a
tyrannical
concentration of all the powers" in a president's hands.

The World Won't Buy Unlimited U.S. Debt
We're asking others to sacrifice for our 'stimulus.'
By PETER SCHIFF
Currently, U.S. citizens comprise less than 5% of world population, but account
for more than 25% of global GDP. Given our debts and weakening economy, this
disproportionate
advantage should narrow. Yet the U.S. is asking much poorer foreign nations to
maintain
the status quo, and incredibly, they are complying. At least for now.

The most significant acts to undermine a peaceful settlement are the daily

Neither The US Nor Israel Is A "Genuine Party To Peace."
By Noam Chomsky
The most significant acts to undermine a peaceful settlement are the daily
US-backed
actions in the occupied territories, all recognized to be criminal: taking over
valuable land and resources and constructing what the leading architect of the
plan,
Ariel Sharon, called "Bantustans" for Palestinians.

Let's Rethink Military Escalation in Afghanistan Before It's Too Late

Astonishing Incongruities
Is It Time to Bail Out of the US?
By Paul Craig Roberts
How can President Obama even think about fighting wars half way around the world
while California cannot pay its bills, while Americans are being turned out of
their homes, while, as Business Week reports, retirees will work throughout
their
retirement (which assumes that there will be jobs), while careers are being
destroyed
and stores and factories shuttered.

The United Haters of America
By Guy Reel
Somewhere deep inside the authoritarian minds of the ultra right-wingers, the
fear,
helplessness and paranoia that have always been so evident have reached the
boiling
point. For them, Obama's election and, perhaps even more so, the sight of him
standing

My Future As An Arms Manufacturer
By Terry Jones
I've decided to start manufacturing weapons. Nothing too ambitious, just some
small
arms, a few automatic weapons, and maybe a couple of bombs. You know the sort of
thing. It's not that I'm keen on killing people. I haven't actually killed
anyone
myself yet. It's all to do with economics.

The War on Terror is a Hoax
By Paul Craig Roberts
According to US government propaganda, terrorist cells are spread throughout
America,
making it necessary for the government to spy on all Americans and violate most
other constitutional protections. Among President Bush's last words as he left

was the warning that America would soon be struck again by Muslim terrorists.

misunderstood countries in the world, looking at the country through the eyes of
people rarely heard - ordinary Iranians. It took a year of wrangling to get
permission
to film inside Iran but the result is an amazing portrayal of an energetic and
vibrant
country that is completely different to the usual images seen in the media.

The Right to Food in Sri Lanka
By Huda Jawad
All wars are different, and yet all wars are the same. The casualty is almost

malnutrition
and starvation. The fighting in Sri Lanka is slightly more unique.

Catastrophic Fall in 2009 Global Food Production
By: Eric_deCarbonnel
After reading about the droughts in two major agricultural countries, China and
Argentina, I decided to research the extent other food producing nations were
also
experiencing droughts. This project ended up taking a lot longer than I thought.
2009 looks to be a humanitarian disaster around much of the world.

Eastern Europe Is About to Blow
By Mike Whitney
The global economy is decelerating at the fastest pace on record. 40 percent of
global wealth has been wiped out. The banking system is insolvent, unemployment
is soaring, tax revenues are falling, the markets are in shock, housing is
crashing,
deficits are soaring, and consumer confidence is at its lowest point in history.

Davos Debt & Denial
In an age of illusion, the guise of truth is often heresy
By Darryl Schoon
The fact that in 2008 bankers became victims in the game they created has
profound
implications for capitalism itself. Capitalism, which began in 1694 with the
issuance
of debt-based money from The Bank of England, has now over three hundred years
later
reached its last and final stage.

Obama: Learn From Lincoln And Do The Right Thing
As The Economic Situation Declines, He Has To Stop Centrist Diddling
By Danny Schechter
Today, we seem to be at the beginning of a new civil war, a great economic war
with
fresh details trickling out every day about how bad it is, and how bad it may
get.
Many banks are insolvent and companies bankrupt. Millions are out of work. No
one
knows what will happen. Even as the Stimulus bill was passed, no one is
confident
it will stem the tide of economic decline.

Ending the Hidden Agenda Behind Tax Cuts
By Joe Brewer
It's time to tell the truth about tax cuts. This phrase dominates political
discourse
and is coughed out every time a conservative public figure opens his mouth. It
is
treated like the basis of sound reasoning, yet no one points out what should be
obvious - that "tax relief" and "tax cuts" are just code words for destroying
the
capacity of government to serve the public.

Withholding Judgment on Obama
By Haroon Siddiqui
Klein, 38, said she welcomes the election of Barack Obama. But she has two

his refusal to insist on accountability for recent American misdemeanours abroad

Israel: Land of the Toxic Kingmaker

More substantively, Mr Lieberman resigned from Ehud Olmert's government last

Israel
to breathe new life into such a process.

Eastern Europe Is About to Blow
By Mike Whitney
The global economy is decelerating at the fastest pace on record. 40 percent of
global wealth has been wiped out. The banking system is insolvent, unemployment
is soaring, tax revenues are falling, the markets are in shock, housing is
crashing,
deficits are soaring, and consumer confidence is at its lowest point in history.

Davos Debt & Denial
In an age of illusion, the guise of truth is often heresy
By Darryl Schoon
The fact that in 2008 bankers became victims in the game they created has
profound
implications for capitalism itself. Capitalism, which began in 1694 with the
issuance
of debt-based money from The Bank of England, has now over three hundred years
later
reached its last and final stage.

Obama: Learn From Lincoln And Do The Right Thing
As The Economic Situation Declines, He Has To Stop Centrist Diddling
By Danny Schechter
Today, we seem to be at the beginning of a new civil war, a great economic war
with
fresh details trickling out every day about how bad it is, and how bad it may
get.
Many banks are insolvent and companies bankrupt. Millions are out of work. No
one
knows what will happen. Even as the Stimulus bill was passed, no one is
confident
it will stem the tide of economic decline.

Ending the Hidden Agenda Behind Tax Cuts
By Joe Brewer
It's time to tell the truth about tax cuts. This phrase dominates political
discourse
and is coughed out every time a conservative public figure opens his mouth. It
is
treated like the basis of sound reasoning, yet no one points out what should be
obvious - that "tax relief" and "tax cuts" are just code words for destroying
the
capacity of government to serve the public.

Israel: Land of the Toxic Kingmaker

More substantively, Mr Lieberman resigned from Ehud Olmert's government last

The Left and Support for Anti-Imperialist Islamist Resistance
By Nadine Rosa-Rosso
From a political point of view we can say without exaggeration that the Left's
wish
(more or less openly admitted) follows the same line as the Israeli
government's:
to liquidate popular support for Hamas and Hezbollah.

US Soldiers Investigated Over 'Fraud' Bigger Than Madoff
By Patrick Cockburn in northern Iraq
The exact sum missing may never be clear, but a report by the US Special
Inspector
General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) suggests it may exceed $50bn, making it
an even bigger theft than Bernard Madoff's notorious Ponzi scheme.

Former Gitmo Guard Tells All
By Scott Horton
He details their sexual abuse by medical personnel, torture by other medical
personnel,
brutal beatings out of frustration, fear, and retribution, the first hunger
strike
and its causes, torturous shackling, positional torture, interference with
religious
practices and beliefs, verbal abuse, restriction of recreation, the behavior of
mentally ill detainees, an isolation regime that was put in place for
child-detainees,
and his conversations with prisoners David Hicks and Rhuhel Ahmed. It makes for
fascinating reading.

US: Lawsuit Sheds More Light on Terror War Abuses:"
Three human rights groups have released documents that they say reveal close
cooperation
between the U.S. Defence Department and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in
rendering terrorism suspects to secret prisons, creating 'ghost prisoners' by
concealing
their identities from the Red Cross, and delaying their release to counter
negative
publicity about their treatment at Guántanamo Bay.

Finance Capitalism Hits a Wall
The Oligarchs' Escape Plan - at the Treasury's Expense
By Prof. Michael Hudson
The financial "wealth creation" game is over. Economies emerged from World War
II
relatively free of debt, but the 60-year global run-up has run its course.
Finance
capitalism is in a state of collapse, and marginal palliatives cannot revive it.
The U.S. economy cannot "inflate its way out of debt," because this would
collapse
the dollar and end its dreams of global empire by forcing foreign countries to
go
their own way.

Strange Math
By Ignacio Merino
Right now President Obama is a new broom and the country thinks he is resolving
a problem left to him by a Republican administration. He is about to sign in a
stimulus
package that will fail to stimulate the economy. Then in three months he'll be
back
at the trough looking for more money. Six months will pass, things will get
worse,
and it will be viewed as his problem to clean up. By the end of 2009, assuming
he
follows the path laid out with the stimulus bill, he will be viewed by the
American
public as inept and the "wrong man for the job". Things will be a lot worse than
they are now.

Finance Capitalism Hits a Wall
The Oligarchs' Escape Plan - at the Treasury's Expense
By Prof. Michael Hudson
The financial "wealth creation" game is over. Economies emerged from World War
II
relatively free of debt, but the 60-year global run-up has run its course.
Finance
capitalism is in a state of collapse, and marginal palliatives cannot revive it.
The U.S. economy cannot "inflate its way out of debt," because this would
collapse
the dollar and end its dreams of global empire by forcing foreign countries to
go
their own way.

Strange Math
By Ignacio Merino
Right now President Obama is a new broom and the country thinks he is resolving
a problem left to him by a Republican administration. He is about to sign in a
stimulus
package that will fail to stimulate the economy. Then in three months he'll be
back
at the trough looking for more money. Six months will pass, things will get
worse,
and it will be viewed as his problem to clean up. By the end of 2009, assuming
he
follows the path laid out with the stimulus bill, he will be viewed by the
American
public as inept and the "wrong man for the job". Things will be a lot worse than
they are now.

Rahm's Rent Is Just The Tip Of The Ethics Iceberg

NEWS broke last week that Rahm Emanuel, now White House chief of staff, lived
rent-
free for years in the home of Rep. Rosa De Lauro (D-Conn.) - and failed to
disclose
the gift, as congressional ethics rules mandate. But this is only the tip of
Emanuel's

Imagine
By David Pérez
I imagine being in a room of maimed, deformed and tortured Iraqis, Afghans and
Palestinians,
accompanied by widows and orphans mourning because their entire family has been
exterminated. I imagine this roomful of walking dead sitting around while my
friends
and I discuss how "realistic" we in the U.S. must be with our electoral
politics,
how our expectations need to "practical," how peace is just so damn
"complicated."

recession
fallout:

Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu Will Form New Government: Peres
By Matti Friedman
Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, in a seeming about-face, indicated she might be
willing
to come on board a Netanyahu government. But Livni, a centrist, would certainly
exact a high price: sharing the prime minister's job she so fervently sought
with
a reluctant Netanyahu.

Zionist Logic
Malcolm X on Zionism
By Malcolm X (Omowale Malcolm X Shabazz)
The Zionist armies that now occupy Palestine claim their ancient Jewish prophets
predicted that in the "last days of this world" their own God would raise them
up a "messiah" who would lead them to their promised land, and they would set up
their own "divine" government in this newly-gained land, this "divine"
government
would enable them to "rule all other nations with a rod of iron."

Investigating Bush's Crimes
By Scott Horton
Obama's problem is that a growing number of Americans are concerned about what
the
Bush administration did and are eager to press the issue. The extent of public
concern
has been reflected in several recent public opinion polls, including one in
February
by USA Today showing that nearly two-thirds of Americans support investigations
of the Bush administration's use of torture and warrantless wiretapping; roughly
40 percent support criminal investigations.

Selling Justice For War Crimes As Vengeance?
The Case for a Truth Commission
By Senator Patrick Leahy
President Obama is right in saying that we cannot afford extreme partisanship
and
debilitating divisions. As we commemorate the Lincoln bicentennial, there is a
need,
again, "to bind up the nation's wounds." Rather than vengeance, we need an
impartial
pursuit of what actually happened and a shared understanding of the failures of
the recent past.

Inside The Meltdown

told in a private session by the chairman of the Federal Reserve that the
American
economy was in grave danger of a complete meltdown within a matter of days.
"There
was literally a pause in that room where the oxygen left," says Sen. Christopher

Der Spiegel Exposes the Brazilian Ethanol Madness
Why the Promise of Biofuels is a Lie
By Robert Bryce
For years, the US has been inundated with claims that it should follow Brazil's
lead on biofuels. These arguments have largely been made by a small, but
influential
group of neoconservatives who claim that the US should quit using oil
altogether.
They claim that using more ethanol - produced from sugar cane, or corn, or some
other substance - will impoverish OPEC and America will once again be returned
to
prosperity.

ANALYSIS / Netanyahu's victory is starting to turn sour:
Tzipi Livni will not join a government resting on a narrow 65-person majority,
composed
of the right and the ultra-Orthodox. She might consider joining a government
with
Likud, Yisrael Beiteinu and United Torah Judaism, but nothing more than that.

Is Obama Ready for a Hard-Right Israel?:
Israeli politics has taken a dramatic shift to the right since the war in Gaza,
and as a whole, right-wing parties fared better in the election than did the
centrist
Kadima party - which finished first by a slim margin - and the crippled leftist
Labor party.

Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu Will Form New Government: Peres
By Matti Friedman
Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, in a seeming about-face, indicated she might be
willing

exact a high price: sharing the prime minister's job she so fervently sought

a reluctant Netanyahu.

Zionist Logic
Malcolm X on Zionism
By Malcolm X (Omowale Malcolm X Shabazz)
The Zionist armies that now occupy Palestine claim their ancient Jewish prophets
predicted that in the "last days of this world" their own God would raise them
up a "messiah" who would lead them to their promised land, and they would set up
their own "divine" government in this newly-gained land, this "divine"
government
would enable them to "rule all other nations with a rod of iron."

Will it turn out that we enjoyed more liberty under Bush than we will under
Obama?
At least the Republicans left us the Second Amendment. The Obama Democrats are
not
going to return our other purloined civil liberties, and they are already
attacking
the Second Amendment.

Investigating Bush's Crimes
By Scott Horton
Obama's problem is that a growing number of Americans are concerned about what
the
Bush administration did and are eager to press the issue. The extent of public
concern
has been reflected in several recent public opinion polls, including one in
February
by USA Today showing that nearly two-thirds of Americans support investigations
of the Bush administration's use of torture and warrantless wiretapping; roughly
40 percent support criminal investigations.

Selling Justice For War Crimes As Vengeance?
The Case for a Truth Commission
By Senator Patrick Leahy
President Obama is right in saying that we cannot afford extreme partisanship
and
debilitating divisions. As we commemorate the Lincoln bicentennial, there is a
need,
again, "to bind up the nation's wounds." Rather than vengeance, we need an
impartial
pursuit of what actually happened and a shared understanding of the failures of
the recent past.

Who Will Be There For Obusha, When The Floor Drops Out?
By David Michael Green
I didn't have high expectations that Obama would turn out to be Eugene Debs,
come
back from socialist heaven (Stockholm?), and so I can't say that I'm surprised
he's
not. But I am pretty shocked and disgusted at some of the decisions we've seen
so
far, including many that Dick Cheney would have little problem praising (in some
cases, because Cheney made them originally).

Inside The Meltdown
Don't Miss This Video By PBS
On Thursday, Sept. 18, 2008, the astonished leadership of the U.S. Congress was
told in a private session by the chairman of the Federal Reserve that the
American
economy was in grave danger of a complete meltdown within a matter of days.
"There
was literally a pause in that room where the oxygen left," says Sen. Christopher
Dodd (D-Conn.)

Der Spiegel Exposes the Brazilian Ethanol Madness
Why the Promise of Biofuels is a Lie
By Robert Bryce
For years, the US has been inundated with claims that it should follow Brazil's
lead on biofuels. These arguments have largely been made by a small, but
influential
group of neoconservatives who claim that the US should quit using oil
altogether.
They claim that using more ethanol - produced from sugar cane, or corn, or some
other substance - will impoverish OPEC and America will once again be returned
to
prosperity.

California Prepares To Eliminate 10,000 Jobs:

"... as all history informs us, there has been in every State
& Kingdom a constant kind of warfare between the governing & governed: the
one striving to obtain more for its support, and the other to pay less. And
this has alone occasioned great convulsions, actual civil wars, ending
either in dethroning of the Princes, or enslaving of the people. Generally
indeed the ruling power carries its point, the revenues of princes
constantly increasing, and we see that they are never satisfied, but always
in want of more. The more the people are discontented with the oppression of
taxes; the greater need the prince has of money to distribute among his
partisans and pay the troops that are to suppress all resistance, and enable
him to plunder at pleasure. There is scarce a king in a hundred who would
not, if he could, follow the example of Pharaoh, get first all the peoples
money, then all their lands, and then make them and their children servants
for ever ..." -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) US

Freeing Up Resources... For More War

halfway around the world -- in Afghanistan and now in Pakistan too -- will

A Planet at the Brink
Will Economic Brushfires Prove Too Virulent to
Contain?
By Michael T. Klare
The global economic meltdown has already caused bank
failures, bankruptcies, plant closings, and foreclosures and will, in the
coming year, leave many tens of millions unemployed across the planet. But
another perilous consequence of the crash of 2008 has only recently made its
appearance: increased civil unrest and ethnic strife. Someday, perhaps, war
may follow.

"... as all history informs us, there has been in every State
& Kingdom a constant kind of warfare between the governing & governed: the
one striving to obtain more for its support, and the other to pay less. And
this has alone occasioned great convulsions, actual civil wars, ending
either in dethroning of the Princes, or enslaving of the people. Generally
indeed the ruling power carries its point, the revenues of princes
constantly increasing, and we see that they are never satisfied, but always
in want of more. The more the people are discontented with the oppression of
taxes; the greater need the prince has of money to distribute among his
partisans and pay the troops that are to suppress all resistance, and enable
him to plunder at pleasure. There is scarce a king in a hundred who would
not, if he could, follow the example of Pharaoh, get first all the peoples
money, then all their lands, and then make them and their children servants
for ever ..." -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) US
Founding Father - Source: before the Constitutional Convention, (June 2,

Freeing Up Resources... For More War
By Norman Solomon
In his first speech to Congress, the new president threw down
a 90-month-old gauntlet, reaffirming the notion that committing to war
halfway around the world -- in Afghanistan and now in Pakistan too -- will
make Americans safer. With drumrolls like that, the mission could outlive

A Planet at the Brink
Will Economic Brushfires Prove Too Virulent to
Contain?
By Michael T. Klare
The global economic meltdown has already caused bank
failures, bankruptcies, plant closings, and foreclosures and will, in the
coming year, leave many tens of millions unemployed across the planet. But
another perilous consequence of the crash of 2008 has only recently made its
appearance: increased civil unrest and ethnic strife. Someday, perhaps, war
may follow.

Most Americans Support Decision to Add Occupation Troops in Afghanistan
By The Washington Post
About two-thirds of Americans support President Obama's decision to send
approximately 17,000 additional U.S. military forces to Afghanistan, and, in
stark contrast to the sour public reception of former president George W.
Bush's "surge" of troops in Iraq, support for Obama's move crosses party
lines, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

represents an unadulterated washout for working people who are attacked on
almost every front by the Democratic Party, which controls a broad majority
in the legislature.

In Case You Missed it
"As The Arabs See The Jews"
By King Abdullah - The American Magazine November, 1947
This fascinating essay, written by King Hussein's grandfather King Abdullah,
appeared in the United States six months before the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
King Abdullah also asks how Jews can claim a historic right to Palestine,
when Arabs have been the overwhelming majority there for nearly 1300
uninterrupted years? The essay ends on an ominous note, warning of dire
consequences if a peaceful solution cannot be found to protect the rights of
the indigenous Arabs of Palestine.

Afghanistan: Chaos Central

Most Americans Support Decision to Add Occupation Troops in Afghanistan
By The Washington Post
About two-thirds of Americans support President Obama's decision to send
approximately 17,000 additional U.S. military forces to Afghanistan, and, in
stark contrast to the sour public reception of former president George W.
Bush's "surge" of troops in Iraq, support for Obama's move crosses party
lines, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

How altruistic and honest about peace are nations willing to be?
By Raymond G. Wilson
Should there be any doubts in the minds of people of the earth as to the

all nations, proposal of this plan by the United States government to the
United Nations would put such doubts to rest. It would renew the faith of

How Credit Unions Survived the Crash

Eighty five million Americans belong to credit unions which are

these notorious speculative derivatives nor did they offer people "teaser

The California Budget and Class War
By Ann Robertson
On February 19, the California legislature, after weeks of wrangling, passed

In Case You Missed it
"As The Arabs See The Jews"
By King Abdullah - The American Magazine November, 1947
This fascinating essay, written by King Hussein's grandfather King Abdullah,
appeared in the United States six months before the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
King Abdullah also asks how Jews can claim a historic right to Palestine,
when Arabs have been the overwhelming majority there for nearly 1300
uninterrupted years? The essay ends on an ominous note, warning of dire
consequences if a peaceful solution cannot be found to protect the rights of
the indigenous Arabs of Palestine.

About two-thirds of Americans support President Obama's decision to send

stark contrast to the sour public reception of former president George W.
Bush's "surge" of troops in Iraq, support for Obama's move crosses party

"As The Arabs See The Jews"
By King Abdullah - The American Magazine November, 1947
This fascinating essay, written by King Hussein's grandfather King Abdullah,
appeared in the United States six months before the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
King Abdullah also asks how Jews can claim a historic right to Palestine,
when Arabs have been the overwhelming majority there for nearly 1300
uninterrupted years? The essay ends on an ominous note, warning of dire
consequences if a peaceful solution cannot be found to protect the rights of
the indigenous Arabs of Palestine.

"As The Arabs See The Jews"
By King Abdullah - The American Magazine November, 1947
This fascinating essay, written by King Hussein's grandfather King Abdullah,
appeared in the United States six months before the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
King Abdullah also asks how Jews can claim a historic right to Palestine,

Return of the War Party
By Patrick J. Buchanan
February 27, 2009 "The American Conservative"
-- -"Real men go to Tehran!" brayed the neoconservatives after the success
of their propaganda campaign to have America march on Baghdad and into an
unnecessary war that has forfeited all the fruits of our Cold War victory.
Now they are back, in pursuit of what has always been their great goal: an
American war on Iran.

By William Fisher
In a brief filing in federal court last week,

the Bagram air base in Afghanistan have no right to challenge their
detention in U.S. courts.

The Geopolitical Great Game
Turkey and Russia Moving Closer
By F. William Engdahl
Despite the problems of the ruble and the weak
oil price in recent months for the Russian economy, the Russian Government
is pursuing a very active foreign policy strategy. Its elements focus on
countering the continuing NATO encirclement policy of Washington, with often
clever diplomatic initiatives on its Eurasian periphery.

The Great Financial Crisis:
Interview of John Bellamy Foster

February 27, 2009 "The American Conservative"
-- -"Real men go to Tehran!" brayed the neoconservatives after the success
of their propaganda campaign to have America march on Baghdad and into an
unnecessary war that has forfeited all the fruits of our Cold War victory.
Now they are back, in pursuit of what has always been their great goal: an
American war on Iran.

America Loses 23,000 Jobs Every Day
Output suffers biggest slump in 25 years

In a further sign of the struggles that are facing workers in America, the
number of people forced into part-time work because their hours were cut or
they were unable to find full-time work rose by 787,000 to 8.6 million last
month. Yet despite the gloomy figures, analysts drew hope from evidence that
the pace of job losses was easing.

The U.S. Financial System Is Effectively Insolvent
There is a grave risk of a global L-shaped depression.
By Nouriel Roubini
Even with the $2 trillion of government support, most of these financial
institutions are insolvent, as delinquency and charge-off rates are now
rising at a rate--given the macro outlook--that means expected credit losses
for U.S. financial firms will peak at $3.6 trillion. So, in simple words,
the U.S. financial system is effectively insolvent.

America Loses 23,000 Jobs Every Day
Output suffers biggest slump in 25 years
By Gráinne Gilmore, Economics Correspondent
In a further sign of the struggles that are facing workers in America, the
number of people forced into part-time work because their hours were cut or
they were unable to find full-time work rose by 787,000 to 8.6 million last
month. Yet despite the gloomy figures, analysts drew hope from evidence that
the pace of job losses was easing.

The U.S. Financial System Is Effectively Insolvent
There is a grave risk of a global L-shaped depression.
By Nouriel Roubini
Even with the $2 trillion of government support, most of these financial
institutions are insolvent, as delinquency and charge-off rates are now
rising at a rate--given the macro outlook--that means expected credit losses
for U.S. financial firms will peak at $3.6 trillion. So, in simple words,
the U.S. financial system is effectively insolvent.
