Christmas Day Crotch Bomber tied to Israel, FBI
By Jeff Gates
The Christmas Day “terrorist” is the latest in a
series of staged incidents meant to make The

rational.

Oil, gas, gold, copper, etc., in Haiti equals US occupation
By Jerry Mazza
This discovery comes from an incredibly deep
well of information in the writings of Ezili Danto (Marguerite Laurent), in her
article, Part
2, Oil in Haiti as the economic reasons for the US/UN occupation, written
in January. Danto’s opening line links to Part
1 of the story from her website, and contains a cache of press clippings by
her and other Haitian authors, dated October 2009. Both parts are worth their
weight in the gold of truth, revealing recent events as part of an ongoing
privatization of Haiti’s abundant assets, with Papa Clinton plus 20,000 US
troops there to put a benign face on guarding those assets as a “humanitarian
effort.”

Fixing a bad Supreme Court decision
By Joel S. Hirschhorn
Sensible, intelligent Americans are furious over
the recent Supreme Court 5-to-4-decision referred to as Citizens United v.
Federal Election Commission that struck down limits on corporate spending
in presidential and congressional elections. Those of us who wail against the
corpocracy with its corruption of government could hardly believe that this
decision could in any way be justified. A major reaction has been a number of
groups calling for a constitutional amendment to fix the problem.

Time for an American intifada?
By Jeff Gates
During the 1960 Christmas season, Americans
flocked to the theaters to see Exodus,
a 3½- hour epic film featuring handsome freedom fighters and a riveting romance
amidst the heroic triumph of Jewish Destiny over Arab Evil Doers. Set against a
Yuletide backdrop of Biblical prophecy, moviegoers marveled as exiled Jews
returned to their fabled promised land, a staple of popular culture to which
Americans are first exposed as children in “Sunday school.”

Markets fail when humans are unregulated
By Paul Craig Roberts
Former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan
answered that he had placed his trust in a flawed theory when he was called

Born, head of the Commodity Futures Trading

Walk a mile . . .
By Sheila Samples
My friend Bernie says he’s suffering from
Afghanistan information exhaustion. “During all those months that Obama was
dragging his feet about escalating the war in Afghanistan, did you ever get the
impression,” he asked, “that foxes were in the hen house, chickens were
squawking and running around crazily, wolves were tearing the foxes to pieces,
and farmers were shooting wildly into the coop with no regard for the innocent?”

Jobs, jobs, jobs: gone, gone, gone!
By Ben Tanosborn
Here we go again, answering to the mindless,
one-issue mentality of America’s Main Street. That Main Street that supposedly
represents the consensus of what most Americans think. Or, some might argue,
what the media persist the issue to be in the minds of many, if not most,
Americans. And since that Republican fellow (Scott Brown) was elected to
represent Massachusetts in the US Senate . . . to dare sit on that chair
occupied for almost half a century by Ted Kennedy, the issue has become jobs,
jobs and nothing but jobs. The lack of them, that is!

From Gaza to Lebanon: Beware the iron wall, the coming war

Gulf anti-missile shield
By Linda S. Heard
The news that the US is supplying Patriot
anti-missile systems along with state-of-the-art weapons to Kuwait, Bahrain and
Qatar and is deploying warships in the Arabian Gulf signifies one of two
options. Either this provocative move is meant as an anti-Iranian deterrent or
Washington is aware that something is afoot and wants to protect its allies.
