Plane Speaking in D.C.

COMMENT: With the bud­get talks com­ing down to the wire and grow­ing [pre­dictably] more acri­mo­nious, it is worth not­ing the num­ber of small planes that have intruded into Camp David air space–5 in one month. All appar­ently did so while Obama was at the retreat.
This is rem­i­nis­cent of a num­ber of “high, hard ones”–a [...]

Update on the Piggy-Back Coups and the Muslim Brotherhood

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 [...]

FTR #743 Interview (#8) with Russ Baker, Author of “Family of Secrets”

The Fourth Estate has become a Fifth Column–the media that should inform us deceive on behalf of those they should expose; Insti­tu­tion­al­ized power dimin­ishes the pub­lic­ity for “Fam­ily of Secrets.” The Inter­net allows cit­i­zens to fight back.

Bin Laden Death: Did WikiLeaks Almost Blow the Operation?; “Moderate” Muslim Brotherhood Condemns Raid

COMMENT: First off, speak­ing strictly for myself, I’m glad they got him. Good rid­dance to bad rubbish!

There is a pos­si­bil­ity that good ol’ Wik­iLeaks may have com­pro­mised the effort to neu­tral­ize Bin Laden. As dis­cussed by Wik­iLeaks’ res­i­dent Holo­caust denier Joran Jer­mas (aka “Israel Shamir”), the Guan­tanamo files released by Man­ning to Wik­iLeaks indi­cate that [...]

Alexander Cockroach Still Using WikiLeaks’ Resident Holocaust Denier

COMMENT: It says a great deal about the sorry nature of the so-called pro­gres­sive sec­tor in this coun­try that Alexan­der Cock­burn (I call him “Cock­roach”) con­tin­ues to uti­lize Joran Jer­mas aka “Israel Shamir” the unabashed Holocaust-denier who, along with his son Johannes Wahlstrom (of a sim­i­lar polit­i­cal fab­ric), com­prise a key ele­ment of the [...]

FTR #704 Interview with John Loftus

Early 20th cen­tury Rob­ber Barons embraced total­i­tar­ian sys­tems; “Good for Busi­ness”; fas­cism, the Axis pow­ers, World War II, and 9/11 result from this; Obama gov­ern­ing from the cen­ter and tak­ing heat for it.

Barack Obama — The Wizard of Oz

by Eve­lyn PringleScoop.co.nz
The most trusted lead­ers of the Demo­c­ra­tic party, such as John Kerry and Ted Kennedy, ought to be ashamed of them­selves for sup­port­ing Barack Obama. With use of the inter­net, a fifth grader could con­nect the dots to show a pic­ture of a guy who was picked up in col­lege and car­ried up [...]
