Blair Watch Appeal


Calling All Bloggers: These Documents need publishing

...Craig Murray was the UK ambassador to Uzbekistan, until his complaints and protest at the use of intelligence gained by torture got too much for Jack Straw and the Foreign Office, who set about attempting to unsuccessfully smear him, and to successfully remove him from office...

Bush’s Snoopgate


The president was so desperate to kill The New York Times’ eavesdropping story, he summoned the paper’s editor and publisher to the Oval Office. But it wasn’t just out of concern about national security...

David Sirota nails the domestic spying question ...
...And that gets us right back to the most important question: why would the President deliberately circumvent a court that was already wholly inclined to grant him domestic surveillance warrants? The answer is obvious, though as yet largely unstated in the mainstream media: because the President was likely ordering surveillance operations that were so outrageous, so unrelated to the War on Terror, and, to put it in Constitutional terms, so "unreasonable" that even a FISA court would not have granted them.

so it turns out the New York Times knew about bush jr.'s illegal domestic spying program since before the (s)election of '04 and they just sat on it.
hmmm . . . seems to be a pattern!

The New York Times killed a story that could have changed the election—because it could have changed the election

FORD regains sanity. Quits deal with hate group.

KISSINGER at NYU HECKELLED


Tonight war criminal and genocide practitioner, Henry Kissinger, was a speaker at NYU. I went along to join the small group of human rights activists outside the Law School down in the Village. It was short notice. Also present were the NYU grad students who were organizing with the UAW.
It was some fancy scmancy Spain/So. American dictators/Pan American forum. Speaking were Uribe "president" of Columbia, the x-president of Mexico, someone else and Kissinger and former president of NYU and they all were MCed by the current NYU schmuck. It was a little auditorium that seats about 300 and it had a raised press platform in the rear that was full of foreign press cameras.
I couldn't resist filtering in with the crowd since no one stopped me. I took a seat with some friends I bumped into who also weren't Kissinger fans. You could faintly hear chants of protestors outside through the ballroom windows.
The panel spoke one at a time in Spanish. Most of the crowd was Spanish speaking, conservative and in favor of the panelists. Kissinger was seated to the right so it looked like he was going last. Zzzzzzzzz.
When the butcher was introduced some NYU grad union activists stood up with a big banner about their cause (I could see it entirely) and were yelling about the right to form a union - directed at the Univ. prez. - and got in a shot about inviting "war criminals" to speak at NYU. Then they got invited by several campus cops and secret service detail to visit the lobby. They were whisked away.
Then Henry began a few words of complimets about the state of Columbia & Mexico and that was enough for me! In as big a yelling voice I could muster I shouted "Like ya did in Cambodia? You murderer!" and topical bits like "Why does NYU invite mass murderers to speak here?" and given free reign to pretty mush blast away I continued on the genocide theme and then lit into NYU for hosting mass murderers to speak as I got surrounded and hustled out. No arrest but it felt good making noise at that old fart.
Plus he got the same a few minutes later from one of the activists still inside. It may get foreign press coverage as there was ample freedom inside for them to film the interuptions.

Youngies - Henry Kissinger is a mass murdering maniac who killed millions of innocent people by illegally and secretly expanding the Viet Nam war into Cambodia and Laos. He also sent death squads to Chile and had a hand in propping up murderous dictators all over South America. see The Kissinger Telcons - National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 123

It was a lot like when Wolfie came to town

oh -- and he's up to his NECK in the Lord Black scandal and is about to be indicted for bilking rich clients in an insider trading scheme. Good. He belongs on a scaffold!

Harold Pinter – Nobel Lecture [excerpt]
....Political language, as used by politicians, does not venture into any of this territory since the majority of politicians, on the evidence available to us, are interested not in truth but in power and in the maintenance of that power. To maintain that power it is essential that people remain in ignorance, that they live in ignorance of the truth, even the truth of their own lives. What surrounds us therefore is a vast tapestry of lies, upon which we feed.

As every single person here knows, the justification for the invasion of Iraq was that Saddam Hussein possessed a highly dangerous body of weapons of mass destruction, some of which could be fired in 45 minutes, bringing about appalling devastation. We were assured that was true. It was not true. We were told that Iraq had a relationship with Al Quaeda and shared responsibility for the atrocity in New York of September 11th 2001. We were assured that this was true. It was not true. We were told that Iraq threatened the security of the world. We were assured it was true. It was not true. (more)

Ford sends the wrong message, no matter how they try to spin it.

Detroit. The Ford Motor Co. has decided to stop advertising its Jaguar and Land Rover brands in gay-themed publications. The official company position is that it was purely a business decision and that the company was not bowing to the wishes of the ultra-conservative American Family Association, a virulent, hate-fostering group based in Tupelo, Miss., led by the controversial Donald E. Wildmon - but that clearly isn't the case. (more)

The whole sordid affair is on America Blog and so it their Ford action center (on the left sidebar).

DOUBLE WHAMMY!


Hollywood stars avoid chimpy at whitehouse gala and Pinch about to be fired from the NY Times!!


The new King Kong movie is out soon by Peter Jackson.
After seeing still pictures from the newest version of Kong it looks like it would be a big oversite not to view the story in terms of race. A simple search turned up some thoughtful websites on the topic.

King Kong & race


This essay from ejumpcut looks at the 1933 version.

And the depiction of the black male monster is detailed in

King Kong and the White Woman



"Theorists such as Wiegman (1993) and Snead (1994) have traced the beginnings of the image of the black man as sexual monster back to the late nineteenth century, as the product of a white supremacist ideology which saw the end of slavery as bringing about an unleashing of animalistic, brute violence inherent in African-American men. D.W. Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation (1915), was, without question, the first major mass circulation of this image in film and was to become the blueprint for how contemporary mass media depicts black males.

The notion of the black male as sexual monster has been linked to the economic vulnerability that white working-class men feel in the face of a capitalist economy over which they have little power."


The official website has a production picture of the Kong quest party getting set to cross the fatal log ... the search party is lead by a black character. We all know who is going to fall off the log into the abyss and who is not. Jackson seems to make a bigger insult out of an action scene devoid of some of the racist undertones of other Skull Island shots.

WAR PROTESTERS IN CHICAGO INTERRUPT HILLARY CLINTON

THE FORGOTTEN PRISONER[from Der Spiegel]

A Tale of Extraordinary Renditions and Double-Standards


German Islamic extremist Mohammed Haydar Zammar has been locked in a dungeon in Damascus for the past four years as part of Washington's post-9/11 "extraordinary renditions" program. By placing the man with suspected ties to the Hamburg al-Qaida cell in Syrian hands, the United States is allowing Damascus to commit torture so that it doesn't have to. (more)

Murtha Says Army Is 'Broken, Worn Out'
Congressman Predicts Troops Will Leave Iraq Within a Year

Flight logs reveal hundreds of CIA flights to Europe: report


LONDON : More than 300 CIA flights have landed at European airports, a British newspaper said, adding a new element to claims that Washington has been transporting terrorist suspects to secret prisons in Europe.

More Cover Up on 9-11


Groups representing national security whistleblowers are urging a boycott of an upcoming congressional hearing, saying their concerns and experiences will not be adequately represented by the witnesses who are scheduled to testify.

The House Government Reform Subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats and International Relations plans to hold a hearing Dec. 6 to examine whether agencies are unjustly revoking or suspending security clearances in retaliation against employees who speak out against wrongdoing. (more)

- The lack of any gov't curiosity over the motives for declaring war on Iraq and Afghanistan is just business as usual for Washington.
It absolutely doesn't matter that their version of events of Sept. 11th, 2001 are ripped to tatters by ordinary people who do their own fact checking.

The latest smoke-up-your-ass piece of administration trickery is to stage a kidnapping by "insurgents" and release a (CIA) video to gobble up headlines 1/2 a day after the world is shocked by video of US mercinaries having a turkey shoot on an Iraq highway ... hoo-hawing while murdering civilians from their truck.
The tactic is transparent and is as juvenile as the usurper murdering pretend-president.
