COMMENT: The apparent capture and downing by Iran of a U.S. drone aircraft raises a number of interesting questions.
If the account presented in “Debka” can be believed, the possibility of some sort of “inside job” is one to be carefully considered. (“Debka” is an intelligence newsletter specializing in Middle Eastern and Israeli national security [...]
COMMENT: In the long For The Record series dealing with WikiLeaks and the Piggy-Back Coups in the Middle East, that tortuous journey began with the coup in Tunisia, believed by some observers to have been triggered by the disclosure of State Department cables critical of the Ben Ali regime.
As noted by the vigilant “Terrafractyl”, [...]
Dave Emory is temporarily suspending production of new “For The Record” programs.
COMMENT: As the U.S. descends into fascism, it is worth noting how violence directed against the Democrats goes unheeded. In Wisconsin, the Democratic We Are Wisconsin headquarters was destroyed by fire, shortly before recall elections to neutralize Tea Party Republicans were scheduled. This is a numbing continuation of the epidemic of violence directed at [...]
COMMENT: Well, folks, they’ve done it. The GOP’s Tea Party fascists (with a generous assist from an apparently clueless and definitely gutless Barack Obama) have succeeded in causing S & P to downgrade the U.S.‘s credit rating from AAA–the first time in history that this has been done.

This is reminiscent of a number of “high, hard ones”–a [...]
COMMENT: Appointing a quintessential fox to guard the Alabama political chicken house, the U.S. Senate, following Obama’s shameful lead, sees fit to ignore the “body count” discussed in FTR #742.
Worth remembering in the context of Alabama political mischief is the fact that the the state’s Air National Guard was under the supervision of the governor [...]
GOP doing to Obama what CIA did to Allende in Chile; Republicans appear ready to destroy U.S., global economies to gain power; Bush administration deficits deliberately structured to force end of New Deal social programs; Tea Party fascists providing “boots on the ground” for this effort.
COMMENT: Conservative Frank Gaffney–among the VERY few in this country willing to attack Grover Norquist and Karl Rove for their support for the Muslim Brotherhood–has properly excoriated the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton for their diplomatic rapprochement with that Islamic fascist organization.
(I note that the Obama administration is simply extending an initiative that was [...]
