Puppet Masters
The 'land of milk and honey' has turned into that of bitter gall for the Israelis who no longer seek solace and security in a country which is inching towards instability and insecurity on a daily basis. The Israeli people live in constant fear; they no longer believe in their authorities if they ever did; their hopes are broken; their dreams are shattered. It is now time for them to give back the dreams they have long stolen from the Palestinian people.
A recent report carried by AP reveals that increasing fear and angst among the Israelis has pushed them to scramble for their European passports so they can have an immediate escape path once Israel is engulfed by insurmountable crisis. Despite enjoying a world-class technology and a mighty army and the support of the U.S. government as its staunch ally, Israel suffers from an internal crisis which is incapacitating it to a degree beyond measure.
In recent months, many Israeli citizens have requested and obtained European passports from Germany and Poland, ironically the two countries which the Jews say to have been home to the Nazi extermination camps where millions of Jews are fallaciously believed to have been killed. Pundits in favor of the Israeli policies have taken recourse to an oversimplification of the issue and argued that an EU passport gives the holder the chance to travel and work in the entire union of 27 nations but the fear for a stable future is the main concern.
Mexican prosecutors are pursuing terrorism and sabotage charges against two Twitter users who falsely reported an armed attack by drug gangs was in progress at a local elementary school.
The tweets falsely claimed gunmen had stormed several schools in the Mexican state of Veracruz and either injured or kidnapped children. A Veracruz prosecutor compared public reaction to the series erroneous tweets to the mass panic that greeted Orson Wells's 1938 radio broadcast The War of the Worlds and claimed that it touched off 26 traffic accidents as parents rushed to schools to save their children.
Team Poison have promised to support activists looking to protest against the US government on 11 September with attacks against its agencies.
In a message posted on document sharing web site Pastebin, the hackers announced Op911 and explained that they plan to protest against what they claim was an "Inside Job".
"9/11/2011 will be the 10th anniversary of the september 11 attacks. We the people will take to the phone lines and protest against the inside job that led to thousands of innocent people being killed," they wrote.
"On 9/11 phone the numbers bellow and say:
"Dear USA, your 9/11 is our 24/7, Sincerely. [a country that has been bombed/attacked by USA]. so; e.g: "Dear USA, your 9/11 is our 24/7, Sincerely. Iraq".
Just as Wall Street, war profiteers, Big Oil, Big Pharma, and other corporate favorites steal with impunity, it's OK for America's media to lie.
The ruling pertained to a 1996 Jane Akre/Steve Wilson Fox affiliate WTVT, Tampa reports on bovine growth hormone (BGH) dangers, Monsanto's hazardous to human health genetically engineered milk additive.
At first, the station loved them. Later, however, Fox executives and their attorneys ordered its reporters to admit falsifying evidence and produce bogus reports on BGH safety.
They refused, threatened to inform the FCC, were fired, and sued. A district court jury decided on their behalf, awarding Acre alone $425,000 in damages.
Fox appealed and won, the Appellate Court saying Acre wasn't protected under Florida's whistleblower statute, loosely interpreting it to mean employers must violate an adopted "law, rule, or regulation."
Rogue state lawlessness and contempt for humanity define both nations.
At home, America is plagued by police state laws, contempt for human and civil rights, out-of-control corruption, banker occupation, corporate control of Washington, record budget and national debt levels, as well as depression-sized unemployment, poverty, homelessness, hunger and despair.
Abroad, America wages permanent wars on humanity, killing millions for wealth, power, and unchallengeable global dominance at the expense of suffering billions.
The rancid stench of Washington's war on the world permeates everywhere, threatening human and environmental survival.
It's no better in Israel, a nation believing only Jews have rights, and increasingly less of them under neoliberalized harshness, favoring the few at the expense of most others.
Like America and other Western states, Israeli policies disproportionately favor the rich. Since at least the mid-1980s, they've caused extreme wealth disparities, unemployment, poverty, hunger, homelessness and gradual loss of social benefits, heading toward ending them entirely.
Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa had some profane, combative words for Republicans while warming up the crowd for President Obama in Detroit, Michigan on Monday.
"We got to keep an eye on the battle that we face: The war on workers. And you see it everywhere, it is the Tea Party. And you know, there is only one way to beat and win that war. The one thing about working people is we like a good fight. And you know what? They've got a war, they got a war with us and there's only going to be one winner. It's going to be the workers of Michigan, and America. We're going to win that war," Jimmy Hoffa said to a heavily union crowd.
"President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let's take these son of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong," Hoffa added.
This comes on the heels of Tuesday's high court ruling that all food products containing GMOs - whether intentional or not - must undergo an approval process. GMO opponents applauded that tightening of restrictions, since it paves the way for damage claims by those whose crops or honey become genetically contaminated by neighboring GM fields.
Today's ruling, however, counts as a win for Monsanto and the EU Commission in their ongoing power struggle to defeat independent sovereign rejection of GMOs on the precautionary principle - a far less stringent, but more scientifically sound standard that acknowledges the dangers of genetic manipulation.
Like France, other nations including Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Hungary and Luxembourg also banned GMOs under the EU emergency clause of Directive 2001/18/EC.

Stewart David Nozette will be sentenced to 13 years in jail for attempting to sell classified information.
During an appearance in federal court, Stewart David Nozette admitted trying to provide Israel with top-secret information about satellites, early warning systems, ways of retaliating against large-scale attacks, communications intelligence information and major elements of defence strategy.
Both the justice department and Nozette's lawyers have agreed to a sentence of 13 years in prison, with credit for two years Nozette has already spent behind bars. US district judge Paul Friedman said he was prepared to accept the deal, pending Nozette's co-operation with prosecutors, a procedure expected to last into November.
Speaking to Al Jazeera, Mr Erdogan also said Turkey had taken steps to prevent Israel unilaterally exploiting natural resources in the eastern Mediterranean.
He spoke amid a growing row over Israel's refusal to apologise for a deadly raid on an aid ship last year.
Turkey has already cut military ties and expelled Israel's ambassador.
It has also said it will challenge Israel's blockade of Gaza at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
