If the “criminal state” known as Israel is the Empire’s dagger in the heart of the Middle East, another criminal state – Columbia – is the imperial dagger in the heart of Latin America. In both cases, the Empire is waging Orwellian “wars” supposedly against terror and drugs. But in reality, these are wars OF terror and FOR drugs…wars of…

FULL ARTICLEReturn of Son of Underwear Bomber: The Terrible, Horrible Truth
G.W. Bush models earlier version of exploding codpiece, designed to destroy US secrets in the event of penetration of the presidential underwear by enemy agents. The same basic design, greatly enlarged and with minor modifications, was used in the recent “Underwear Bomber II” attack. The Guardian has revealed that Underwear Bomber II, who was about to blow up a passenger jet with an undetectable explosive codpiece when he was somehow detected, was actually a CIA agent. Based on a number of interviews with those involved (zero is a number, right?) and my expertise as a Ph.D. Arabist and terror expert,…

FULL ARTICLEWill this get me sent to Guantanamo?
A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on the Washington DC beltway. Nothing was moving. Suddenly, a man knocks on the window. The driver rolls down the window and asks, “What’s going on?” “Terrorists have kidnapped Congress, and they’re asking for a $100 million dollar ransom. Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from car to car, collecting donations.” “How much is everyone giving, on average?” the driver asks. “About a gallon!” * * * Normally I wouldn’t expect to get sent to Guantanamo for telling anti-Congress jokes.…
FULL ARTICLEJames Petras: The empire is USING “moderate Islam”
Tuesday, December 20th, 11 a.m. to noon Central (9-10 Pacific) on NoLiesRadio.org (archived here a few hours after broadcast). Guest: Leading leftist sociologist and political analyst James Petras, who says the Empire is USING “moderate Islam.” He writes: “Moderate” Islamists have become the Empire’s ‘contraceptive of choice’ against any chance the massive Arab peoples’ revolt might give birth to substantive egalitarian social changes and bring those brutal pro- western officials, responsible for so many crimes against humanity, to justice. The West and their client officials in the military and police have agreed to a kind of “power-sharing’ with the moderate/respectable…
FULL ARTICLECheney’s 1% Doctrine Revisited, or: Why Pat Buchanan Should Choose His Friends More Carefully
According to Ron Suskind, Dick Cheney launched the Global War on Terror via “the one percent doctrine”: “If there’s a 1% chance that Pakistani scientists are helping al-Qaeda build or develop a nuclear weapon, we have to treat it as a certainty in terms of our response. It’s not about our analysis … It’s about our response.” Slapping an arbitrary 1% probability on a nonexistent but scary-sounding threat – why not space aliens, hare krishna terrorists, or giant mutant insects – and spending the rest of our lifetimes throwing trillions of dollars at it, is not a wise use of…
FULL ARTICLEEric Walberg, Allen Roland on treasonous, Constitution-shredding murder of al-Awlaki
Truth Jihad Radio Mon. 10/10/11, 1-3 pm Central, American Freedom Radio (archived here.) Call-in number: (402) 237-2525 or post your questions to my Facebook page. Since when did unconstitutional secret panels in the US government have the right to order the execution of US citizens without trial – or even criminal charges? Doesn’t the presumption of innocence mean that the self-proclaimed killers of Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan are bragging about the murder of two indisputably innocent men? Was not this murder, if indeed it happened, an act of treason against the Constitution of the United States of America? If…
