Some gore for a change. Why bother trying to pry the rest of the Abu-Gharib photos from the Army’s cold, dead hands when you can have something just as good. Like American soldiers (female thank god) posing nude, or triumphantly posing by “cooked Iraqi.” There has been some debate over whether or not Americans are [...]

Time: Why Pat Robertson’s Statements Help Hugo Chavez
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has a new best friend this morning: television evangelist Pat Robertson. With his astonishing call for the left-wing leader’s assassination last night—”I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it…We have the ability to take him out”—Robertson will have surely made [...]

Cultivating the mythos and making even death in line with the hollow slogans of the elites.
Unlike earlier wars, nearly all Arlington National Cemetery gravestones for troops killed in Iraq or Afghanistan are inscribed with the slogan-like operation names the Pentagon selected to promote public support for the conflicts.

Trade wars can lead to shooting wars.
The rapid rise of China as a major economic force has provoked US policymakers to wonder whether free trade is still in the US national interest; after all, “free” trade always favors the strong. Now that the US has gotten its way and China has unpegged the yuan, its [...]

Christian Zionism at its best.
Among the pullout foes staying in the northern West Bank community of Sa-Nur, one can find an unusual guest: Nils Peter Hansen, 54, a civil aviator who made his way from Sweden to Israel in order to support the settlers.
“My wife told me, you need to travel to the Holy Land. [...]

Interesting days indeed. Israel is finally going back on its supposed plan to hold on to all of Palestine and to fulfill some religious nonsensical vision. Is it a gimmick or have sensible people finally cleaned out the old and antiquated Zionists?
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon began his promised pullout from Gaza on Monday and threatened [...]
