QUOTE OF THE DAY
I wouldn't call it fascism exactly, but [an American] political system nominally controlled by an irresponsible, dumbed down electorate who are manipulated by dishonest, cynical, controlled mass media that dispense the propaganda of a corrupt political establishment can hardly be described as democracy either.

Signs Economic Commentary for 5 May 2008
Donald Hunt
SOTT.net Mon, 05 May 2008 07:46 EDT
Since ancient times, one of the main functions of urban republics was to stockpile food surpluses for use in times of famine. The scary thing now is that with sophisticated supply chain distribution systems, there is really very little extra food. The problem is much bigger than just food for poor people; it could easily become a cut-throat scramble for short supplies among the well-off. In fact, we may be seeing the beginning of the predicted resource wars... |

Golden Nuggets - Sexing Up An Iranian War
Joe Quinn
SOTT.NET Sun, 04 May 2008 09:47 EDT How many Muslim lives can you get for a "golden nugget"? Back in 2003, after the start of the Iraq invasion, then chairman of the UK's Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) and current head of British overseas intelligence agency MI6, requested that "ten golden nuggets" be included in the US-backed Iraq Survey Group's report on WMD's in Iraq.

Glenn Greenwald
Salon Fri, 09 May 2008 14:08 EDT In a July, 2006 article in Rolling Stone -- entitled "Iran: The Next War" -- the superb journalist James Bamford detailed the shady activities of numerous neoconservatives inside and out of the U.S. Government to plan an attack on Iran. Bamford focused on the role played by Michael Ledeen of the American Enterprise Institute and National Review, who created and began implementing an attack scheme in coordination with the Pentagon's then number-three official, Doug Feith, and Feith's deputy, Larry Franklin (subsequently convicted of felonies for passing classified information to AIPAC). |
