U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. now faces the daunting task of convincing the Chinese that it is in their own best interest to allow American transnationals to loot their country as they have so many others. Not to mention continuing to finance the ailing U.S. empire AND cut back their exports. “Treasury Secretary [...]

About the only U.S. politician genuinely critical of the system gets, predictably, ousted from her bid for reelection using a combination of foul play, crossover voting and demographic changes. Or what Americans lovingly like to call democracy. The tireless hate and disinformation campaigns directed at McKinney have paid off it seems. Over the past few [...]

More on the notion that Hizbullah somehow blends perfectly, weapons and all, into the civilian population.
