80% of Consumers Say They Would Not PAY for Online Content

In a blow to ongoing plans by Murdoch (and others) to capitalize on premium content, a new study from Forrester shows that 80% of consumers would not be willing to pay for online news content. As readers are able to move from one content aggregator to another with greater facility than the Fed prints another billion dollars, Rupert's approach will likely entail a massive… Continue

The Mastermind

Neo cons across America are pretending to be all outraged with the announcement of a New York trial for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Co. Their fanatical war cries, i.e. – he doesn’t deserve any rights and he doesn’t deserve a fair trial, have gone ringing around the planet. In attempts to keep the lie alive, this continuing psyop for the imaginary war on terrorism is even being received by receptive sheeple in Australia. The…

High noon: Goldman Sachs.

http://action.seiu.org/page/s/goldmandc

Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs and big banks like JPMorgan Chase are back to making record profits and paying out multi-billion dollar bonuses - even after taking billions in tax payer bailouts. Meanwhile, millions of working Americans are suffering from job losses, foreclosures, depleted pensions, and skyrocketing credit card rates & overdraft fees.

Enough is… Continue

U.N. Using Climate to Push One World Government Reforms

U.N. Using Climate to Push One World Government Reforms

With assaults on our nation’s freedoms and liberties coming from so many directions at the same time it is difficult to characterize one as being more dangerous than another. But a United Nations (U.N.) gathering scheduled for Dec. 7 – 18 2009 may hold more lasting ramifications to Canadian sovereignty than anything the country has ever faced.

That’s when the first overt attempt at establishing the framework of… Continue

A Tax A Day

Turning Medicare into an income redistribution program. Another day, another tax increase to finance the trillion-dollar health-care overhaul.

The latest schemes are leaking out of the Senate, where Majority Leader Harry Reid is scrambling to find enough money while not offending Big Labor. The Senate Finance bill imposes a 40% tax on expensive private health plans, many of which belong to union members as part of their negotiated contracts. So Mr. Reid wants to reduce this… Continue

Republicans Are Shocked The Public Is Mad At Them For Voting Against Franken’s Anti-Rape Amendment

Think Progress

Nov 13th, 2009

Last month, 30 Republican senators voted against Sen. Al Franken’s (D-MN) amendment that would punish defense contractors “if they restrict their employees from taking workplace sexual assault, battery and discrimination cases to court.” His amendment was inspired by Jamie Leigh Jones, who was gang-raped by… Continue

Why Are Modern Guillotines on Military Bases in America?

Editor's Note: There is no doubt in my mind that guillotines are being stored on selected military bases in America. Pam Schuffert had first hand conversations with people who have seen them. I'm equally convinced that crematoriums have been installed on many of the larger FEMA concentration camps, both here on the mainland and in Hawaii. Pam Schuffert accurately foretold of coming events… Continue

CIA says it gets its money's worth from Pakistani spy agency

It has given hundreds of millions to the ISI, for operations as well as rewards for the capture or death of terrorist suspects. Despite fears of corruption, it is money well-spent, ex-officials say.

By Greg Miller

November 15, 2009

Reporting from Washington - The CIA has funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to Pakistan's intelligence service since the Sept. 11 attacks, accounting for as much as one-third of the foreign spy agency's annual budget, current and… Continue

"I've fallen and I can't get up!"

November 2009 Comment: This is one of those pictures that truly IS worth a thousand words...

But a few questions remain. Was this a "fall" of an accidental nature, or has it simply been beaten and pinned fair and square? Or perhaps more to the point, does it even REALLY WANT to get up again? Despite Timothy Geithner's constant proclamations that a "strong dollar" is in our best interest, the prevailing policy seems to be not proactive in that regard but rather… Continue

Confessions Of An Economic Hitman - The Somali Pirates And How We Made Them

I read John Perkins book, Confessions Of An Economic Hitman last year. Here's a post by John, an adaptation from his latest book. He's an ex-Hitman. For the US Government. He used money to kill, not bullets.

The following is adapted from Hoodwinked: An Economic Hitman Reveals Why the World Financial Markets Imploded—and What We Need to Do to Remake Them. Random House, 2009.

Navy Seal snipers rescued an American cargo ship captain unharmed and killed three Somali pirates in… Continue

Nov 16th, 2009

So here I am vainly looking far afield for some news to satisfy my news addiction on a Sunday night. I find myself navigating to GNN.tv (Guerrilla News Network) which is one of the first truly alternative news sites that I frequented on the internet. It's not that I no longer frequent GNN but the news cycle can be a little long over… Continue

Palestinian Leaders Seek UN Endorsement of Statehood, Israel Threatens Unilateral Actions Against Palestine in Event of Statehood

by Jason Ditz, November 15, 2009

Frustrated by Israel’s hawkish government having declared the peace process dead several times in the past few months, Palestinian leaders say they are going to unilaterally ask the United Nations to endorse their independence based on pre-1967 borders.

In the 1967 Six Day War, Israel attacked Syria and Egypt, and when Jordan entered the war on the basis of a defense pact with Egypt it occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The… Continue

The Rationing Commission, Meet the unelected body that will dictate future medical decisions

As usual, the most dangerous parts of ObamaCare aren't receiving the scrutiny they deserve—and one of the least examined is a new commission to tell Congress how to control health spending. Democrats are quietly attempting to impose a "global budget" on Medicare, with radical implications for U.S. medicine.

Like most of Europe, the various health bills stipulate that Congress will arbitrarily decide how much to spend on health care for seniors every year—and then invest an unelected… Continue

A Message To President Obama and Attorney General Holder, from me

This post is in response to the short article found Right Here. If this offends anyone other than the addressees, well, sorry about that. I have no other place to post it and I'm oh, so tired.

Dear Mr. Obama and Mr. Holder,

I'm not going to address dead Iraqi's, dead Afghan's, dead Pakistani's or the genocide you're responsible for. I won't touch… Continue

'We have carried out post-mortem's on two victims and found their lungs are as black as charcoal. They look like they have been burned. It's terrifying.

In the age on Nano-robots, Playstation 3s and GM foods, we're stymied by the flu. Something doesn't make sense here.

British scientists are examining the strain of swine flu behind a deadly Ukrainian outbreak to see if the virus has mutated.

A total of 189 people have died and more than one million have been infected in the country.

Some doctors have likened the symptoms to those seen in many of the victims of the Spanish flu which caused… Continue

Malalai Joya Speaks To Obama.

Of course no one told her he doesn't give a shit about Afghans, Iraqi's, Pakistani's or anyone else in Southeast Asia or anyone in the United States for that matter, with the possible exception of the filthy rich. The only thing Obama cares about is where he'll rest his ass when his presidency is over.
