		<title>NATO forces frequent Afghan brothels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[NATO employees are frequenting prostitutes in Kabul, effectively building new enterprises of brothels and trafficking. The Sun is covering the patriotic angle of course, claiming that these visitors are by and large civilians. But that seems unlikely. It&#8217;s just the tip of the iceberg and men in uniform are as likely as civilians to frequent [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Tibet Fantasy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Here we go again. Charley Reese articulates perfectly why Tibet is such a non-issue that is being exaggerated to frightening and suspicious proportions.
Coffee sippers who think it might be a good idea to free Tibet from China are about 58 years too late. China is not going to free Tibet, and Western encouragement of [...]]]></description>

		<title>US soldier throws puppy off cliff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This video made a big splash on certain social bookmarking sites. While essays could be written on the implications of such general and random callousness, the really interesting fact of the matter is the unequaled, unified and bipartisan moral outrage that people have expressed. I wonder where I HAVEN&#8217;T seen that before.
Let me translate for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Indefinite curfew for US troops in Okinawa</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Welcome the day of reflection. Raping starts again next week, business as usual.
The US military slapped a sweeping curfew Wednesday on troops and their relatives on Japan&#8217;s southern island of Okinawa after a series of incidents including an alleged rape that sparked tension.
A US Marine was arrested last week on allegations that he raped a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Setting the stage for Iran war</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And so people are buying into the same sort of deception that got the US into Iraq. Or in fact every major conflict since the Spanish-American war. Will they ever learn? Larry Chin is the latest to argue, correctly in my mind, that the planning for war has already started and that this year will [...]]]></description>

		<title>NATO&#8217;s Gladio, Hidden Terrorism and Washington&#8217;s Breschnew doctrine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ An interview with Daniele Ganser on the topic of his book &#8220;Nato&#8217;s secret Armies: Operation Gladio Terrorism in Western Europe&#8221; which deals with the secret anti-Communist stay-behind armies. It&#8217;s a good primer for anyone who is still oblivious to the very real history of false flag operations during the cold war. Operations that were [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nemesis The Last Days of the American Republic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chalmers Johnson&#8217;s latest creation, &#8220;Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic&#8221;, is hot off the presses and should arrive in bookstores around the world any day now.&#160;Needless to say, this much anticipated and final piece of the trilogy deals primarily with the cost and consequences of imperial overstretch. Few people in the US have [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the March</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
&#8220;WIPED OFF THE MAP&#8221; - The Rumor of the Century - Or how the world was duped into believing that Iran&#8217;s President had threatened to destroy Israel. I&#8217;ve mentioned this many times over, but this preposterous and malicious claim seems to refuse to go away. The question is if people are gullible and / or [...]]]></description>

		<title>US strikes in Somalia kill nomad herdsmen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Unsurprising perhaps, the US airstrikes on Somalia last week missed their intended targets. Especially unsurprising considering the target was an organization that in reality doesn&#8217;t exist and is the brainchild of CIA pencil pushers.
 The herdsmen had gathered with their animals around large fires at night to ward off mosquitoes. But lit up by the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Euphemizing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As&#8217; ad over at Angry Arab brings our attention to the willingness of the US media to transmogrify the Israel-Palestine issue and one of the greatest euphemisms in recent history - the &#8220;arrest raid.&#8221;
Elsewhere, just in case&#160;you missed it, Israel is now officially crowned&#160;worst brand name in the world. Though as you can imagine, according [...]]]></description>
