If the US counted everyone who had a legitimate reason to do the them harm, that number should be in the tens of millions. But as the definition of terrorism stands, and because of what we know regarding the orchestrating of false flag operations, it is an understatement that the list “may include innocent people.” [...]

John Pilger delivers another hard hitting column on the topic of power and the two-facedness. Absolute powers corrupts absolutely. Pilger covers the cost of war, oil trade, false flag operations, historical western meddling and the callous manipulations of intelligence as well as the public mind being undertaken by the new emperors, small and feeble as [...]

The Simon Wiesenthal Centre never fails to impress, that is for sure. Here is a real beauty. First you occupy someone else’s land and proceed by legal cons to appropriate a cemetery that has been in use for 15 centuries. Adding insult to injury you then defile burial traditions by exhuming the bodies only to [...]

Slashdot notes that the US government is about to launch an unprecedented barrage against the Internet and would-be “terrorists.” The data-mining AI, dubbed ADVISE (Analysis, Dissemination, Visualization, Insight, and Semantic Enhancement), aims to spider the entire accessible web at the very least and offer predictions on whether users are to be deemed naughty or nice.

Another media watchdog goes to the dogs. Sami al Hajj was kidnapped while on assignment and subjected to the most egregious abuse imaginable before being flown to Guantanamo.

Mind-boggling confirmation that the US government did, and most likely still does, assassinate not only foreign “threats” to US hegemony but its own soldiers as well. And it’s not “Apocalypse Now” either, far from it. In fact, the targets were honourable men determined to expose America’s dirty secrets or simply refuse to participate in the [...]

Wouldn’t be the first time either. Despite their seemingly fluid and multicultural approach, anthropologists have historically been instrumental in just about every misconception about foreign cultures.

Prison Planet notes that …
The 9/11 movement has been lax in not anticipating the direction from which their most vociferous flak will be thrown. It’s not government appointed commissions, politicians or Popular Mechanic debunking spreads.

Another message from the Iraqi resistance … or disinformation. Who knows. I don’t know much about the age or origin of this clip other than that it was released on several political BitTorrent trackers recently.
