Bush Extorting Land from American Indians

This should be the headline of every newspaper and the subject of every TV news program. Americans are being denied taxpayer services in the aftermath of a natural disaster because they have not turned over their land to corporations.

Bushie is trying to extort land rights from an American Indian community devastated by Gustav, refusing FEMA aid to Houma tribe until they cave in by giving up land rights to oil and gas companies: FEMA officials admit that tribe "as a result of the land dispute is not yet federally recognized like many other tribes that have given up land around the country and thus any aid or relief to them will be slow to come." This was reported by Aljazeera's Mike Kirsch.

Palin touts small-town roots, rips Obama

ST. PAUL (Reuters) - Sarah Palin touted her small-town roots and lashed out at Democrat Barack Obama during a highly anticipated speech to the Republican convention on Wednesday, ridiculing her critics as out-of-touch elitists who do not understand everyday life in America.

Palin was sharp in her criticism of Obama, reminding the Republican crowd of his comments at a San Francisco fundraiser in April about bitter small-town residents. Continued...

Caution likely at EU summit on Russia

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 16:18:14 GMT

clipper's remarks: BRUSSELS, Belgium:
When it comes to action over Georgia, Russia has the European Union over a barrel. In fact, 1.2 million barrels.

That's the how much Russian crude is pumped westward everyday down the Druzhba pipeline to fuel Europe's economies.

This hard economic reality explains why Monday's emergency EU summit will struggle to produce much more than a slap on the wrist for Russia, despite Europe's exasperation over Moscow's invasion of Georgia and backing for its two separatist regions to break away.

The EU gets roughly a third of its oil and about 40 percent of its natural gas imports from Russia.

Israel and Oil Prices--"Geopolitical" Factors Ignored

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 06:40:46 GMT

clipped by: blueridge
clipper's remarks: Israel threatens Iran, oil sets new record high. See the pattern? It happens every time they threaten, or the US does. All these articles show on google search and are dated June 2008, now oil prices are up to $140 per barrel. Yet no one is talking about war-mongering as a factor in high oil prices, even though Iran is the 4th largest exporter in the world. As some would say...Duh! It is not a supply issue.

Repeating for the upteenth time, high gas prices are due to:

1. speculative trading
2. dollar devaluation
3. geopolitical issues (war, rumors of war, US war policy, Israel)
4. government debt, increased money supply, war spending.

These all tie together and started oil's price surge when the Iraq war began, and not before. War policy drives oil up on the trade floor.

Racial fears in Kentucky

Fri, 23 May 2008 06:08:26 GMT

clipped by: masbury
clipper's remarks: Astonishingly frank treatment, followed by text of history summary re: mining companies'/unions' past racism. These views do need to be understood and addressed in order that they not be used to stoke political paranoia. You won't find this in the MSM - only Aljazeera speaks this bluntly.

Clip Source: www.dailykos.com

[Video]

After emancipation, coal mining companies sought an advantage over unions by hiring former slaves as scabs since, the unions were racist, wouldn't allow blacks as members. The companies didn't have to fulfill many obligations to this new, unorganized labor force, and a lot of white miners lost their jobs. So it actually makes sense that people would see race relations as a question of pure exploitation; with one side dominating the other. That's the history of the region.

Sami al-Hajj had been working as a cameraman for Al Jazeera when he was arrested on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan in 2001.

Since then he has spent six years in the US military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Al-Hajj had been sent to the area to cover the US war against the Taliban and held a legitimate work visa.

He was arrested after suspicions that he had links with al-Qaeda when his name and passport number came up on a list

A reproduction of Sami al-Hajj's drawing from his series Sketches of My Nightmare

The passport number that the Pakistanis had was for an old document that al-Hajj had previously reported as having

He was kept prisoner in Afghanistan and Pakistan for five months before being handed over to US forces and taken to Guantanamo Bay as an "enemy combatant".

For the past seven years he has been prisoner 345.

He is the only journalist to be detained at Guantanamo Bay without being charged.

Musharraf's speech defending martial law

Sun, 04 Nov 2007 15:18:18 GMT

clipped by: enbar
clipper's remarks: You probably know that Musharraf declared martial law on Nov. 2 against the strongly expressed wishes of U.S. and other Western diplomats. The irony is that he claims (quite plausibly, in my view, but I don't know that much about it) to be doing it in order to prevent Pakistan being overrun by violent Islamist agitators, which would be a disaster of unfathomable proportions for the GWOT and U.S. policy generally (not to mention India and Afghanistan). I'm mystified about what the U.S. really wants Musharraf to do.

Israeli Cable To Drop CNN For Al-Jazeera

Strange as it sounds, Israel's largest cable TV provider plans to drop CNN for Al-Jazeera English TV for financial considerations. But it's not clear cut that Israeli viewers will tune in. The Jerusalem Post writes:

"It's incomprehensible," Liebes said. "Whatever functions CNN performed, none of them will be performed by Al-Jazeera. It's a whole different kind of person who will watch."
