Hi! How Are You?

Hey shiney people. Ideas for various bloggerooneys have been bouncing around my cranium walls. (On a clear day, you can hear the clanging for miles around.) Unfortunately, any semblance of ANY SEMBLANCE OF coherence, if manifest here, would merely resemble verbal flatulence. Serious writing is not ready to be hatched. So, boys and girls, here's one or two ideas to tide you over to ameliorate those pre-summertime blues: I propose a tag team for libertarian discussion boarders. Most libertarians...

New bloggers

Hey Mace, Ken, Oscar, Mud, Cous, VyS, Sol (whatever happened to Sol?), It is obvious that I have no time to write a damn thing these days, and this blog is quickly becoming simply a maroon, comment-having version of ScottHortonShow.com - that is, just radio archives. It really does suck to know that all the crazy news breaking out right now is not being catalogued here as in the past. At the risk of having no commenters left, I am inviting you guys to be bloggers on Stress. Then you'll have...

Israeli open source intelligence website reveals that the White House now holds that Israel suffered a ‘strategic defeat’ in the 2006 Lebanon War

Remember how Bush the Lesser claimed that Hezbollah had suffered a defeat in the war last summer? Now the Israeli website Debka (which has close ties to Israeli intelligence sources) reports that the White House told the Turkish authorities that Israel had suffered a 'strategic defeat' at the hands of Hezbollah: DEBKAfile Exclusive: White House now holds that Israel suffered a ‘strategic defeat’ in the 2006 Lebanon War April 30, 2007, 2:39 PM (GMT+02:00) This view was leaked hours before the...

Gullible Americans

Lies, torture, evasions and deceptions.  Sounds like the powers that be still have us running in circles and arguing over the details but few, if any, are looking at the big picture.  I suggest that a re-read of the Paul Craig Roberts article: Gullible Americans is in order.  Especially the parts about the collapse of the Trade Center buildings.  Why indeed did the three buildings collapse into nice neat little piles within their own footprints? If the fires in the floors where the planes...

Swiss Intelligence Confirms CIA Blacksites

From No Comment, 'the other' Scott Horton has this little blurb of info: A Swiss court has acquitted three Swiss journalists on charges of violating state secrecy requirements for publishing an intelligence intercept of the Swiss intelligence service that confirmed the existence of a CIA ‘blacksite’ detention facility at the Mihail Kogalniceanu Base near the Black Sea city of Constanza in Romania. Swiss intelligence put 23 Iraqi and Afghan citizens at the base and in the custody of the CIA....

OZ to US: Please stay…

Interesting comments by PM Howard.  Howard is one of the few remaining Bush Kool-Aid drinkers and his rabid support of the Iraq invasion and occupation has always been a bit puzzling.  Perhaps there is a Murdoch, NewsCorp, Fox connection in all of this?

Please Leave: An interview with Sami Rasouli

by Scott Horton Interview conducted April 1, 2007. Listen to the interview here. I have on the line Sami Rasouli. He is an Iraqi, who was an ex-patriot. He lived in the United States for I believe about 30 years — a very successful restauranteur from Minneapolis, owner of Sinbad's Restaurant. Since the war, he has moved back to Iraq and has created something called the Muslim Peacemaker Team. He is a Shi'ite Muslim from Najaf, Iraq. Welcome to the show Sami. Rasouli: Thank you, Scott, for...

Letter from a Nazi

9/11 Justice Brief but carefully presented and supported criminal indictment of George Bush, Dick Cheney, Richard Myers, and Condoleeza Rice for murder in the events of 9-11, presenting all the best evidence in a concise but powerful manner. It includes Larry Silverstein's admission that the explosives were used... <more> Another 9-11 video that I am sure you will like is: "All Roads Lead To Where?"Answer: Israel BTW: I listened to your interview with the Ketchum fellow where you both...

Antiwar Radio: Gareth Porter

Journalist and historian Gareth Porter explains the the massive loopholes in the Democrat's bogus withdrawal plan, the false premise of both parties that al Qaeda in Iraq would be anything but doomed if the U.S. left, the question of neocon malevolence versus incompetence, the possibility of war with Iran, whether talks with that country could just be used as a further excuse for war when they "fail," the first Democratic presidential debate blues and the common assumption that if the U.S. did...

Antiwar Radio: Scott McConnell

American Conservative magazine editor Scott McConnell discusses the paleo-conservative antiwar movement, the neconservatives and the Republican Party, his own roots as a neocon before turning against interventionism at the end of the Cold War, his new article "Algeria: The Model," and the end of American empire.
