Liberating America

Aggregated from: Sultan Knish

In 2003 American troops invaded Iraq to liberate it by removing a Hussein from power only to return 5 years later to an America in which a Hussein is about to take power. What happened is not an uncommon fallacy of great nations that marshal their resources for wars abroad while ignoring the wars...

Grigory Pasko: New and Old Enemies of the People

Aggregated from: Robert Amsterdam

On the internet you can find even today a list of enemies of the Russian people. I write the word "enemies" without quotation marks, just like it’s written on the site. It was written long ago: this list has been hanging there since the year 2005. Three years it’s been there. And it doesn’t ap...

Let them pay taxes!

Aggregated from: VivirLatino

It's interesting to see the Republicans struggle through the reasoning behind their losses. It seems to be the common wisdom among Republicans that they simply weren't "Republican" enough--that they weren't conservative enough--and thus we have the ass smacking the Democrats gave to them at the poll...

The GOPs plan for 2012 from now

Aggregated from: Egyptian Chronicles

Because they are practical people ,because they do not cry for the spilled milk the Republicans in America began to think about the Presidential elections in 2012 from now.They don't waste their time and they don't count that Obama may or may not succeed in bringing change. The names of the 2012 GO...

Paul Craig Roberts - Conned Again?

Aggregated from: Sabbah's Blog

If the change President-elect Obama has promised includes a halt to America’s wars of aggression and an end to the rip-off of taxpayers by powerful financial interests, what explains Obama’s choice of foreign and economic policy advisors? Indeed, Obama’s selection of Rahm Emanuel as White Hous...

Return to 1999

Aggregated from: Gray Falcon

So, following the government-worshiping ritual last Tuesday, Barack Hussein Obama will become the 44th President (and not sure which Emperor in order, not that it matters) of the USA. Given the current state of the country, and its standing abroad, I'm not sure whether to say "'Grats" or "Sorry." Ma...

Barr ‘08; or, Fail

Aggregated from: Halfway Down the Danube

I haven't seen anyone -- not even the libertarian blogs -- mention Bob Barr. So, why not. Shouldn't take long. There was a time when people thought Bob Barr might get three percent of the vote nationwide. (There was a Zogby poll at one point that showed him over five percent.) It was thou...

Grave reflections this Remembrance Day

Aggregated from: Untold Damascene Stories

Many in Syria don’t know this, but in the West, November 11 is the day where we remember wars past in order to prevent them in the future. “Lest We Forget” is a slogan often repeated but seemingly seldom understood, as though we remember past atrocities on this day, it seems we cannot stop our...

And here come the Obama copycats [Israel style]

Aggregated from: Patriot Missive

Barack Obama’s biggest edge during his 2008 Presidential campaign was embracing the power of the internet. Apparently, Israel’s Bibi Netanyahu couldn’t help himself with his website’s latest redesign. Did you really think no one would notice, Bibi? I mean, it’s not like Barack Obama i...

Russians Cautious on Obama; No Major Changes Expected

Aggregated from: Russia Blog

Reality is catching up fast for the Russian Federation, which begun to slowly orient its expectations towards Barack Obama's win about two weeks prior to November 4. As the Russian government and its policy analysts expected, Obama's nascent presidency will have mixed results for US-Russia relations...
