Non-governmental organisations would distribute mobile phones to Afghans for them to make their own video diaries.

Whitehall officials say the aim is to deprive the Taleban of its virtual monopoly on propaganda using new media

the US-led coalition had been losing the propaganda war in Afghanistan to the Taleban

UK's commander in Helmand said Britain should not expect a "decisive military victory" in Afghanistan

Brig Mark Carleton-Smith said the aim of the mission was to ensure the Afghan army was able to manage the country on its own.

The number of UK soldiers killed on operations in Afghanistan since 2001 currently stands at 119.

Economic New World Order Emerges from Crisis

clipper's remarks: Taxpayers lose as governments nationalize and intervene in banks to prevent collapse. This seems all too convenient an arrangement. They have always wanted a economic new world order and now, they say, is the time to do it. This financial crisis and the reaction of governments will go down as a major historical event that changed the world.

Meanwhile, while the financial sectors are in throws, gas prices for consumers are dropping and there is still credit and loans to be obtained at good interest rates despite all their propaganda to scare up support for these interventions by governments.

New World Order: Global co-operation, nationalisation and state intervention - all in one day

IT WAS a day of desperate global action, unprecedented in both scale and cost, intended to stymie the international devastation being wrought by the financial crisis.

As the London stock market steeled itself to open again following days of vicious battering, Alistair Darling, the Chancellor, rose to stake the future of the country and the Cabinet on an audacious £500 billion banking bail-out.

Central banks across Europe, the US, Canada and China also reduced interest rates in an emergency move.

"The international banks concluded there is a major international banking crisis. Banks were collapsing in Europe, as well as the United States.

Following the announcements, Mr Brown spoke by phone to the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, and the Italian prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, as well as the EC president, José Manuel Barroso.

FOX News Upset At Newsweek For Printing An Un-Retouched Photo of Sarah Palin

The GOP and their propaganda arm, FOX News, are up in arms over the latest Newsweek cover of Sarah Palin that accompanies this scathing article by Jon Meacham. The article, that points to Palin's "commonness" as a problem to her credibility as a candidate, is less of a concern to the GOP than the fact that they did a close up of her face and did not retouch it to hide blemishes and pores. And you may remember, FOX knows about retouching photos for credibility's sake.

Apparently, they're not as afraid of their supporters reading as they are of them looking at pictures and realizing that Palin's skin isn't peaches and cream perfect.

CBS News Reporter Criticizes Obama Campaign

clipper's remarks: Amazing! This guy probably will lose his job for criticizing Obama's lack of organization and elitism. After all, CBS is part of the Obama propaganda arm.

Why does Obama's aircraft smell bad? Chitlns? Naw - the elite don't eat what the common folk eat. Think about it. Someone who hangs around with shady characters and doesn't notice filth, probably wouldn't know if something has a bad odor.

I'll tell you this - Obama and Biden have a bad odor, and I hope America wakes up and notices that stench before they cast their votes.

After most of the previous 12 months covering Barack Obama's campaign for the presidency, it was interesting, instructive and, well, relaxing to follow John McCain for the last few days. The differences between the two are striking.

It is true that McCain enjoys taking questions from the audience in town hall-style settings. That doesn't mean he is the master of that kind of forum, it just means he's good at it. He likes to converse with voters. Obama does it well too, but seldom achieves that intangible bond with the people that all politicians crave -- or fake.

The national headquarters in Chicago airily dismisses complaints from journalists wondering why a schedule cannot be printed up or at least e-mailed in time to make coverage plans.

The McCain campaign plane is better than Obama's, which is cramped, uncomfortable and smells terrible most of the time. Somehow the McCain folks manage to keep their charter clean, even where the press is seated.

Obama Campaign Offended By McCain's Pejorative Pronouns

clipper's remarks: But Obama's not offended by William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn!

"The Weathermen" as Dohrn's faction was now called, began a series of direct actions against the American government. As a result of an accidental explosion during the preparation of a bomb destined for a US military dance hall, which killed several members of the group, Dohrn and other Weathermen went underground. For half a decade, Dohrn and the Underground carried out clandestine actions, largely bombings, against the U.S. government. She is well-known as the signatory on the Weather Underground's "Declaration of a State of War," which formally declared war on the U.S. Government. Dohrn and others also co-wrote and published the subversive manifesto Prairie Fire, and participated in a covertly filmed propaganda documentary, Underground.

Dohrn later married former Weather Underground leader Bill Ayers.

Barack Obama’s campaign did not like it when rival John McCain referred to the Illinois senator as “that one” during tonight’s presidential debate. Obama spokesman Bill Burton sent a one-line message to reporters after McCain made the comment that said, “Did John McCain just refer to Obama as ‘that one’?” And again at the conclusion of the debate, the Obama campaign e-mailed reporters, “Did John McCain refer to Obama as ‘that one’?”

McCain made the remark tonight when discussing a 2005 Senate vote on an energy bill. “There was an energy bill on the floor of the Senate loaded down with goodies, billions for the oil companies, and it was sponsored by Bush and Cheney. You know who voted for it? You might never know. That one,” he said, pointing to Obama, “You know who voted against it? Me.”

There must be a slur in here somewhere.

The Fuhrer was G Gordon Liddy's first political hero. Liddy was a sickly, asthmatic child when he grew up in Hoboken, New Jersey, in the 1930s. The town was full of ethnic Germans who idolized Hitler. Liddy was made to salute the Stars and Stripes Nazi-style by the nuns at his school; even now, he admits, "at assemblies where the national anthem is played, I must suppress the urge to snap out my right arm.

When he listened to Hitler on the radio, it "made me feel a strength inside I had never known before," he explains. "Hitler's sheer animal confidence and power of will [entranced me]. He sent an electric current through my body."

after reading the writings of the notorious anti-Semite Charles Lindbergh, Liddy decided to pick his wife on eugenic grounds

He used to take his kids to see Leni Reifenstahl's Nazi propaganda movie 'The Triumph of the Will

Liddy's seems to believe -- as his childhood icon did -- that life is an eternal war against Absolute Enemies

Judge Orders Gitmo Prisoners Released!

clipper's remarks: Thank God. Seeing my country involved in arresting people without cause, not allowing them legal representation, communication with family, no visits from the International Red Cross, not giving them their day in court, holding them for 'indefinite detention," keeping them imprisoned -- in this case -- for seven years -- and documented torture and abuse of such prisoners -- it's all pretty disgusting.

And more disgusting that these prisoners were also used for propaganda about how these alleged evil men were out to harm us.

And disgusting that thick-headed rednecks, neocon neofascist, and other warmongers went around waving flags about all this and claiming "God was on their side." -- and accusing us as the one's being 'unpatriotic,' when we were the most patriotic of all.

What sickness! What lies!

DEFEAT ALL REPUBLICANS is now Step #1

Step #2 is seeing Bush and Cheney in jail; and all those who aided and abetted their crimes.

Judge orders Chinese Muslims at Guantanamo freed

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A federal judge on Tuesday, in a rebuke to the Bush administration, ordered the release in the United States of 17 Chinese Muslims who have been held at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay.

The judge said there was no evidence the detainees, who have been held at Guantanamo for nearly seven years, were "enemy combatants" or a security risk, and that the U.S. Constitution prohibits indefinite detention without cause. He ordered them brought to the court for a hearing on Friday.

The Uighurs had been living in a camp in Afghanistan during the U.S.-led bombing campaign that began in October 2001. They fled into the mountains and were detained by Pakistani authorities, who handed them over to the United States.

The Uighurs remain at the prison even though the U.S. military no longer considers them "enemy combatants."

Bloated Financial Sector

Democrats are pulling off a propaganda coup. They opposed reasonable regulation of Fannie and Freddie, and imposed CRA regulation that contributed significantly to the growth of unsustainable subprime mortgages. Now, they blame all problems on Bush-Cheney and "deregulation" and promise that the bailout is the first installment of a massive re-regulation of unspecified nature.

There is some truth to the attack, in that the feds watched the development of an opaque and fragmented system of mortgages and derivatives without finding out what was going on. The SEC also dropped the ball with respect to the investment banks, according to its own IG. But it is unclear why the solution is an increase in the power of institutions that were inept in the exercise of their existing power. There is a serious argument that what is needed is transparency and clearinghouses so that the market can work, not new micromanagement.

The thing that troubles me the most is the insistence that many of these problems were caused by inner city mortgages and low-income earners.

We should not forget that there are millions of people who who bought more house than they could afford and most are upper income folks. Don't fall into the cess-pool with the likes of these hate-filled morons.

Not only did the government cause the problem with its insistence on lending money to anybody capable of staggering into a bank but it is now preventing any recovery of the system with its "mark to market" regulation. The essential point is that most sub-prime borrowers are in fact making their payments but the regulations not only ignore that but force the financial system to treat the mortgages concerned as worthless"

The Fed has informed Bank of America to be ready for a one-week universal shutdown of the banking system, including access to checking accounts, savings accounts and credit cards. This is why you need $5,000 in small bills in your safe at home and small denomination gold and silver coins.

Bailout Creating a Financial Black Hole to Suck Us All In

Bob Chapman
The International Forecaster
October 5, 2008

No problems have been solved, and we will continue on to our ignominious destiny with recession, depression, and a third world Banana Republic standing where we are all but irrelevant to the world economy. No one will have anything but worthless paper to spend for foreign tangible goods

Gold and silver are the only remedy for what now ails our nation, and nations around the world.

The Senate financial market rescue bill would temporarily allow the FDIC to borrow unlimited amounts of money from the Treasury Department in order to provide larger government deposit coverage that would extend until the end of next year, which really means forever. This has all the earmarks of a banana republic.

clipper's remarks: (cont.)Thus, the number of people available for being killers or victims is markedly reduced. Moreover, extensive ethnic cleansing has taken place in the country (another good indication of progress, n'est-ce pas?). Sunnis and Shiites are now living more in their own special enclaves than before, none of those stinking mixed communities with their unholy mixed marriages, so violence of the sectarian type has also gone down; and the powerful movement of Shiite leader Muqtada al-Sadr has had a cease-fire in effect for many months, unconnected to the surge. On top of all this, US soldiers, in the face of numerous "improvised explosive devices" on the roads, have been venturing out a lot less (for fear of things like ... well, dying), so the violence against our noble lads is also down. Remember that insurgent attacks on American forces is how the Iraqi violence all began in the first place.

When is a Holocaust Not a Holocaust?

By William Blum

When is a holocaust not a holocaust?

When the perpetrators call it a victory.

04/10/08 "ICH" - -- Although the "surge" has failed as policy, it appears to be succeeding as propaganda. It seems to be the only thing that supporters of the war have to point to, and so they point, and they point, and they point. Allow me to point out that while there has been a reduction in violence in Iraq -- now down to a level that virtually any other society in the world would find horrible and intolerable, including Iraqi society before the US invasion and occupation -- we must keep in mind that thanks to this lovely little war more than half the population of Iraq is either dead, crippled, traumatized, confined in overflowing American and Iraqi prisons, internally displaced, or in foreign exile.

John Stuart Mill's Essay On Liberty

In which kind of social system does liberty thrive best — or in which kind of social system is liberty least threatened? Some believe that liberty is is best safeguarded by democracy — but this is very doubtful, at least if democracy is taken to mean simply a system in which political representatives are elected every now and again. Voters in many Western countries are apathetic because they believe that their vote actually makes no difference. As has been said of so-called democratic elections in the U.S.: Whoever wins, the people lose.

Neither the word "democracy" nor its derivatives occur in the U.S. Declaration of Independence or in the U.S. Constitution. Yet because of an 80-year propaganda campaign the American public has been brainwashed to believe that "democracy" was what the American Founding Fathers wished to establish on the North American continent (as a model for the world).
