Reclaim MLK, yada yada. Yes, reclaim his radical persona from the academics and religious leaders who have painted his example to be an uncontroversial conformist. Commemorate MLK, reclaim him, fine. Wouldn't that begin, at a minimum, by deligitimizing his assassins? How universal is recognition of Martin Luther King if the government agencies which killed him are unaccountable and still broadly in charge?

Finally a president too smart for daily intelligence briefings
Is makes a funny headline: "Donald Trump says he doesn't need daily intelligence briefing, says he's smart enough already." Haha. What Trump may really be saying is that he knows enough not to be made to listen to what the CIA dictates to be his world view. The presidency is probably enough of a bubble without the added insulation of daily briefings from spooks giving you their unsubstantiated take on Yellow Cake, WMDs, which regime is using chemical weapons BESIDES US, and whose neodemocracy needs an infusion of covert activity.
Panama Papers expose only foes of US. Source unknown. Smells like Ickyleaks.
Out of nowhere come the "Panama Papers" leaked from a lawfirm that assists money launderers and offshore investors of embezzled wealth. It's great to see international corruption exposed. Apparently it's rife only among world leaders adversarial to Washington DC. For example, Russia, Iran, Syria, etc, no usual suspect left ungathered. Aaaand.. the Prime Minister of Iceland is implicated! A new villain! This has prompted demonstrations in the tiny nation and bank-bailout holdout. Iceland is global banking's public enemy number one. What do you bet those protests are backed by the same "pro-democracy" NGOs that fomented state-failure in Libya, Syria and Ukraine? There's something fishy about leaked documents that taint only enemies of the New World Order. 46138
Film critics toe corporate line to re-kill messenger Gary Webb, after Hollywood
AT BEST "KILL THE MESSENGER" portrays suspiciously deceased journalist Gary Webb as a heroic sleuth who refused to compromise his principles. At best, the film re-reports the enormous crime which Webb exposed in his series DARK ALLIANCE, that the CIA's support of the Nicaraguan CONTRAs in the 1980s involved facilitating the smuggling of drugs into the US, in such large quantities as to precipitate the crack cocaine epidemic, delivered to our major inner cities by the CIA. UNFORTUNATELY the film muddies the crack connection, as Webb's detractors did back then. Two deliberate plot omissions suggest this is probably not a coincidence. 41204
Can we hope the Ukraine government snipers hit OTPOR & CIA provocateurs egging on the fascist suppremacists?
Protesters are being killed in Kiev, and revolutionaries enthusiasts are buying into the Western Media narrative. Even Democracy Now is parroting the theme, describing the demonstrations as opposing their government's rejecting closer ties to the European Union. "Closer ties?" Ukraine was rejecting growing indebtedness to EU banks, favoring a bailout from Putin instead. Let's remember that Senator John McCain jetted to Kiev to rally the uprising, seeing it as part of the rolling "freedom movement" not coincidentally encircling Russia, the former Soviets now no longer foe to Capitalism but rival. Unfortunate developments have led to government snipers firing at the "rebels" many of whom are dupes but many too are supremacist fascists not particularly misguided about US-EU hegemony. Perhaps we can find consolation in the hope that Ukrainian snipers were able to hit the OTPOR and CIA provocateurs coordinating the urban warriors. I support all popular uprisings, but unfortunately US covert ops have picked up on our game. The only way to insulate rebellions against Western provocateurs is to build movements around political ideology they will not embrace. For the onlooker, ideology is also the means to discern destabilitation projects parading as protest. If the offending government is anti-Western-Capitalism, our counterinsurgency
Amanda Knox wishes Italy was like US where a black man in jail means whites go free
Amanda Knox is disappointed with the Italian judicial system. In America of course, if you can pin the crime on a black guy, white perpetrators go free. For the 2007 murder of Meredith Kerchner, African male Rudy Guede is serving 16 years, but Italian judges are convinced he was an accessory. And remember, first Knox tried to give them ANOTHER. Knox is appealing her slander conviction for falsely naming Patrick Lumumba, and now, instead of speaking appreciatively of her two year respite from prison after political pressure muddled an appeals court reversal, Knox says she "expected more". Not just that, she reminds us "this isn't going to bring Meredith Kercher back." 39888
Zero Dark Thirty has critics protesting that torture shouldn’t be shown to work, instead of torture being wrong
Protest torture, don't protest Zero Dark Thirty's depiction of torture as working, even if the public account of the hunt for Osama bin Laden holds that it did not. Who's your source for that, the CIA? No doubt countless plenty were tortured elsewhere in the actual narrative. How perverse for human rights groups to oppose torture based on it being ineffectual, instead of inhumane. Do you doubt torture works? Look at poor Bradley Manning, already pleading guilty. You'd think galvanizing the public against the horror of torture would be easier than trying to sell them a lie, that torture isn't fiendishly effective. Remember the inane debate about what constitutes torture? That can be illustrated in less than a second, likewise its effectiveness. What sophistry. This is same patronizing social engineering which moralists envision to contort society to new-age morays expunged of sociopathic ills. Greed, slavery, war, genocide, all work perfectly well. That's the problem
The silliest scandal of them all- The David Petraeus love affair!
Here was our US Torturer and Murderer in Chief (besides President Barack Obama, of course), who announces horror of horrors that he has been involved in an intimate affair with somebody other than... get this!... his wife! He then resigns his position just as the... What went wrong for the CIA in Benghazi, Libya?... investigation/ scandal heats up. And now this silly bit of disinfo/ misinfo by the compliant press now follows along that the CIA could Petraeus Affair: Military (CIA) Can Prosecute Adulterers! ----Does the public need any more evidence that our ruling class is nuttier than an All-American fruitcake? 37753
Wikileaks to release Syria Files, but to whose fortuity, and whose Wikileaks?
At first glance it looks like the Wikileaks cavalry to the rescue! Wikileaks and embattled Julian Assange back in the saddle, to expose the behind-the-scenes on Syria, to undermine the shelf-worn NATO Powerpoint Presentation, this time against Syria, the NATO powers' prelude to war. YAY WIKILEAKS! But there are interesting anomalies: the leaked correspondence is as recent as March, yet Wikicreep Daniel Domscheit-Berg sabotaged the group's anonymous leak gathering system a year ago, and so far the files purport to embarrass Assad... Were these leaked by the CIA-backed rebels? Stay tuned.
Not much of a surprise at all- The CIA is arming Syrian terrorists according to the New York Times
Hey we knew that already! Report: CIA aids in funneling arms to Syrian rebels. According to The New York Times, the CIA is helping to vet Syrian rebel groups for arms shipments paid for by Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. Well what did all the Lefty liberal humanitarian imperialists think? That the US was all uninvolved in the arming of the Syrian Right Wing opposition to Assad? It was nothing more than a spontaneous rebellion against a bad guy? 34711
Pakistan sentences CIA doctor spy who traced the location of people by DNA to a 33 year jail sentence
___It's entirely understandable why the Pakistan government would sentence a CIA spy working for the US military to prison. Wouldn't our government do the same if they caught Russian, Chinese, or Pakistani spies working to target US citizens to be murdered, too? And didn't the US deliberately murder Osama bin Laden instead of capture him? The US government didn't want him talking at any 'trial' to be given. Shakil Afridi, Pakistan Doctor Who Helped Find Osama Bin Laden, Sentenced To Prison
Um, embarrassing “Bin Laden papers” found during assassination raid give new life to CIA al-Piltdown melodrama
Ignoring that a recent BBC investigation had determined that "al-Qaida" was an intelligence community fabrication, US media trots out bin Laden papers "seized during raid" for latest Borat-style mocking of Islam.
Poland charges their ex head cop with helping US CIA in running a torture chamber on Polish territory
What? Did you miss this in the US corporate news? So did I... Imagine that? See the Washington Times report about this world news...Newspaper says Poland’s ex-intelligence chief charged in alleged torture at secret CIA prison
Smell test shows KONY 2012 viral vid tests positive for military grade virus
Was mainstream media endorsing a viral Youtube video your first clue that the Invisible Children campaign bears the suspicious signs of US war-making propaganda?! What "Save Darfur" was to Sudan, the CIA-spelled backward [Africa's] Invisible Children operation is to Uganda. With its Libyan protector out of the way, Africa and its resources have never been more accessible, so now AFRICOM's cross-hairs are on regional insurgent defenders. Apparently Joseph Kony is today's poster villain, and those pitching a US intervention in Central Africa want to convince the public the engagement would have an exit strategy not to exceed 2012. Flowers and candy. What are we holding against Joseph Kony, indoctrinating child soldiers? What are American recruiters doing in our middle schools but trolling for our Invisible Children who, undereducated, undernourished and unprotected from predatory militarist propaganda, succumb to the economic or criminal justice draft?
Wikileaks strips Stratfor ‘CEO’ George Friedman totally nude
Perhaps the most pretentious US 'intelligence' gathering service of all time is the Austin, Texas based company called 'Stratfor', and George Friedman is the pretentious head of this company he founded, which perhaps is more actually owned by the US CIA than owned by himself? We could only mainly speculate about that up until now, but Wikileaks is going to help leak documents and info about what Stratfor and "George' have been up to while helping out their good friends at the military-industrial-cop-national security state of the US Corporate Empire. 30678
U.S. Hypocrisy over Pakistan spy round-up and “human shields”
Has the Favorite Whine about "How DARE another nation exercise the same sovereign rights as America?" in the so called "liberal" media. Who are these phantasmal "Liberal Media" anyway? Every press, TV, and radio syndicate in the country bows down before the Police State Warmonger-Whorelords. I guess it's people who don't snap to attention and throw out the Bellamy Salute every time their Masters bark at us. Internet Journalists who point out that Sovereignty held by only one nation, even over its fellow members of a Koalition of the Killing, is NOT nationalism but instead Empire. 24779
Sure enough, Amina Arraf al Gay Girl of Damascus hoax is a fat man in Georgia
Following a variety of digital trails, internet sleuths have triangulated the source of "missing" Syrian blogger Amina Abdallah Araf al Omari to Thomas MacMaster and Britta Froelicher (possible alias Paula Brooks), of 5646 Crestwood Dr, SW, Stone Mountain, GA 30087, currently infiltrating a Palestinian Rights group in Edinburgh, Scotland. Circumstantial evidence points to the two who've not only hoaxed thousands of Facebook worriers, NPR and the MSM, but poisoned the impact of future authentic appeals and jeopardized real Syrians. This wasn't as nefarious as the NEDA hoax which aimed to slam Iran, but it was no doubt partisan. Are these accusations confirmed? So long as MacMaster & Froelicher refuse to answer inquiries, wouldn't it be prudent to blow their cover as unscrupulous provocateurs, regardless their allegiance? Who but an imposter would think the fight against tyranny lacks for real heroes or victims? 24658
Oh Come THE HELL ON! Get Your Damn Story Straight, SEALs!
First they said that Usama had "died like a coward" throwing a woman at the SEALs as a "human shield" and The Denver Post and the GagZette and every other Blood-thirsty "news" Propaganda agency in the country bought it, ate it up like a scoop of ice cream. NOW, typical of Cop behavior when they blow away an unarmed suspect, the PIGS are saying they thought he was going for a weapon. Which is it? Did he have both hands full of Female Human Shield or was he going for a gun You Lying Sons Of Bitches? This isn't your average midnight Terror Police Raid, this one has hanging on it all the idiotic War Drum Beating about taking over Pakistan in addition to the two unwinnable wars you already have going. Iraq still isn't ruled by the Iraqi people, they still have the Puppet Nouri al Maliki using U.S. Soldiers to keep the Iraqi people from storming his castle. The Warmongering Profit-hungry GreedPigs are still raking in the do-re-mi over that and other actions they can sell the Weapons of Conquest to "Mission Accomplish". How much fatter must we allow the Daddy Warbuck Hogs to get? 24124
New VIP consular services in Pakistan
The next time you need consular help oversees and you're made to take a number, you know the US of A can do better than that. I'm fairly enthused about the US consular services plan unveiled to spring undiplomat Raymond Davis from Pakistani jail. If a plea for diplomatic immunity fails, because you're a CIA operative for instance, try a bribe of millions to the victims' survivors, wrapped in US Green Cards. Why deny those impulses to shoot your impertinent foreign hosts, in the back as they flee when it's safest, or by surprise at point blank range? Fire a dozen bullets, none of them misses, leaving crowds of onlookers mouth-agape thinking you're MF Bourne. A consular vehicle can rush to your rescue, plowing through motorcyclists in its path. Don't worry, US drivers will be airlifted before local authorities can learn their identities. In the meantime you won't languish in jail for long, even with half of Pakistan taking to the streets expecting their government to uphold the law.
US gives its CIA contract assassins like Raymond Davis diplomatic immunity from justice, also interrogation, torture
The NYT, AP, Reuters, everybody loves Raymond. Even Denver's 9NEWS kept quiet about knowing the accused American was a CIA-Blackwater shooter, and let the USG continue to pretend that Raymond Davis was protected by Diplomatic Immunity as a consular employee. President Obama even called Davis "our diplomat." And he's right of course, spying, killing, squashing bystanders, refusing to abide by international law, fleeing justice, that is US diplomacy.
Russian Airport reaction: From the reactionaries.
Which in their customary thought processes, comes out as confusion. For a long while they've been vacillating, our Dearest Redneck Leaders that is. They praise the Putin-Medvedev-KGB response to the theatre hostage situation, where they killed civilians to get at the terrorists, then a school with the same methods, same results... In response to REAL Caucasians who formerly had, until being rolled over by the Russians under the Tsars and kept a part of Russia under the Soviets and still are, much like the much booed Soviet takeover in Afghanistan which mirrors the Current NATO takeover, Where "our" current enemies were THEIR enemies... they had been sovereign nations. Then the Right Wing Reactionaries condemn the Russian government for being simultaneously too lenient and too hard-line. WTF? How Hard-Core Repressive Does One Have To Be To Satisfy These Jackasses? 22408
In Tennessee, ACLU = Terrorists
The Memphis Homeland Security fusion center has a map listing the Tennessee ACLU as a "Terrorist Event." Compound that with what a ranking senator (R-AL) has called the "ACLU DNA." It goes beyond semantics when the label of terrorist means by executive order suspects can be detained without charges, indefinitely and without an enforceable standard of human rights. Think twice about those giving credence to Vice President Biden's categorization of Wikileaks as more terrorism than journalism. On the lighter dark side, the CIA has set up a Wikileaks Task Force (WTF), prompting comedian Andy Borowitz to suggest the more apt Stop Terrorists From Uniting (STFU).
As long as they have their Priorities straight
"Justice" Department drops charges against CIA Torture Freaks for destroying evidence, as in the Videos they took of their coward comrades exercising power over helpless people. Cop Porn in other words. I bet George W and Cheney have copies though, for the above mentioned reason. Meanwhile the REAL hero, Bradley Manning, rots in a Military Brig where the MPs, like True PIGS everywhere, are probably beating him on a daily basis, while he's bound and helpless of course. Torturers and their supporters are such cowards.
CIA role in so-called Yemen bomb plot wafts odor of who smelt it dealt it
Everything I need to know about CIA Intelligence I learned in elementary school, 9/11, al-Qaeda. Who smelt it, dealt it. Student in Yemen --allegedly, even to herself-- mails a package containing explosives, CIA forwards a tip-off. YOU, think of a number between 1 and 10. Even Ockham's Razor would not predict the CIA can guess it. Do you suppose the New York Times headline got it right? "Bomb Plot Shows Key Role Played by Intelligence."
Job Openings for Sadistic Perverts, in CIA Torture Chambers
The youngest prisoner at Guantanamo was arrested when he was 15, for defending his home. Remember that propaganda film "Red Dawn" where a heroic group of Boy Scouts form a resistance movement against the Communist Invaders? Yeah. Only the roles are reversed, the kids who were propagandized by that bloodthirsty movie in the 80s are now senior officers at the Pentagon, at Guantanamo, at Bagram, "advisors" at Abu Ghraib and other Torture Centers, teaching Other Perverted Sexual Predators how to do their Sadistic Rapes and get away with it. The kids fighting back against an invasion of THEIR homelands by Totalitarian Corporate Conquerors, are swarthy of skin, often (but not always) Muslim of faith and thus branded as Terrorists for not bowing to their "rightful masters". How about it, Pervs? Need a job which matches your hobby? Join the U.S. Military Police. I bet the Green Berets and Marines will do some fancy Custom Shopping for your victims, just give them the age and gender of your preference and they'll go out and snag you a 90 or 10 year old male "terrorist" or a 70 or 7 year old female "insurgent". Once you get past the notion that hurting people is
