  TRUTH RISES AGAIN: WIKILEAKS SHREDS SECRECY OF THE AFGHAN WAR 

  22 July, 2010 — News Dissector Blog

  ‘Truth Crushed To Earth Will Rise Again,’ William Cullen Bryant (and later a song title on the third album by House of Pain.’) I first heard this quote when spoken by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr back in the day. He also quoted poet James Russell Lowell who wrote, ‘Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne, Yet that scaffold sways the future..’

  THE WAR STANDS EXPOSED IN ALL OF ITS DEADLY VICIOUSNESS

  Sunday Night: Wileaks released 90+ 000 secret documents to the New York Times, England’s Guardian and Der Spiegel, an unprecedented act of an unauthorized release of official information about the war in Afganistan. Please read these War Logs as they represent a new stage in the the fight for public’s right to know and media freedom. The New York Times story here. Here’s the link to the NY TIMES interactive feature. Here’s one of the documents as reported in the Guardian.

  Danger: Capitalists At Work: “The People At The Top Are Doing Quite Well”

  WHITHER THE “ECONOMIC AGENDA? By Danny Schechter 

  26 July, 2010 — The News Dissector

  Unemployment is Worse Than We Know, The Recovery Challenge Harder Than We Think

  As we move into the dog days of summer, and a coming Congressional recess, the Obama Administration has shifted its focus back on to the economy and wants to convince one and all that an economic recovery is just around the corner.

  In recent speeches, the President warns that the Republicans, if they take over, will support policies that will usher in a new recession, as if the current recession is over. “They are the same policies, “ he said, ”that led us into this recession. They will take us backward at a time when we need to keep America moving forward.”

  He wants to push “distractions” like the Shirley Sherrod affair and the BP spill out of media view so we can all get back to the economy.

  Wake me up when reality intrudes into a “debate” that is flawed on all sides.

  Travesty in Progress: Omar Khadr and the US Military Commissions By Lisa Hajjar 

  26 July, 2010 — Middle East Report Online

  (Lisa Hajjar is an editor of Middle East Report and an associate professor of sociology at the University of California-Santa Barbara. She reported for this article from Khadr’s hearing at Guantánamo Bay.)

  For background on the Arar case, see Lisa Hajjar, “Grave Injustice: Maher Arar and Unaccountable America,” Middle East Report Online, June 24, 2010. For background on the Hamdan case, see Charles Schmitz, “Beating a Slow, Stubborn Retreat at Guantánamo Bay,” Middle East Report Online (May 2005).

  At 23, Omar Khadr is the youngest of the 176 people still imprisoned at the US military’s detention facility in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. He has been there for eight years, one third of his life. A Canadian, he is the only citizen of a Western country remaining in detention, although one British resident, Shaker Aamer, is also still locked up there. Of the 779 people brought to Guantánamo since 2002,[1] only 36 have been charged or designated for prosecution, 26 by the Bush administration and the remainder by the Obama administration. Khadr is accused of violating the laws of armed conflict — as reinterpreted by the US government after the September 11, 2001 attacks. He is charged with being an “unlawful enemy combatant” (now relabeled “unlawful enemy belligerent”) who threw a grenade that killed a US soldier in the heat of battle in Afghanistan.

  That hot-war murder allegation distinguishes the case against Khadr from those charged with terrorist acts outside a theater of war, including al-Qaeda’s 1998 US embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, the 2000 attack on the USS Cole and the September 11 attacks, which precipitated the launch of the global “war on terror.” Most Guantánamo prisoners facing prosecution are accused of providing material support for terrorism and conspiracy. These offenses were refashioned as war crimes in order to enable their prosecution in military commissions, which were decreed into existence by President George W. Bush on November 13, 2001. The Supreme Court ruled these bodies unconstitutional in 2006, but within months Congress had restored them with the Military Commissions Act, which was superceded by an identically named law in 2009.

  China Calls Our Bluff: The US is Insolvent and Faces Bankruptcy as a Pure Debtor Nation By Washington's Blog 

  25 July, 2010 — Global Research – Washington’s Blog – 2010-07-23

  America’s biggest creditor – China – has called our bluff.

  As the Financial Times notes, the head of China’s biggest credit rating agency has said America is insolvent and that U.S. credit ratings are a joke:

  The head of China’s largest credit rating agency has slammed his western counterparts for causing the global financial crisis and said that as the world’s largest creditor nation China should have a bigger say in how governments and their debt are rated.

  “The western rating agencies are politicised and highly ideological and they do not adhere to objective standards,” Guan Jianzhong, chairman of Dagong Global Credit Rating, told the Financial Times in an interview.

    After the recent attack on the euro, I don’t think anyone in Europe now needs to be told that the US rating agencies are crooked or politically motivated. That China knows that is unsurprising, as is the fact that Americans find that “scary”. The American Empire is crumbling. So much the better!

  The Sinking of the Cheonan, too Weird to Make Up By Timothy V. Gatto 

  25 July, 2010 — Dandelion Salad – liberalpro.blogspot.com

  Pro-unification and anti-war activists shout slogans during a rally commemorating the 10th anniversary of the June 15 declaration between the two Koreas, in front of the U.S. embassy in Seoul June 15, 2010. The protesters demanded a reinvestigation of the sunken South Korean naval corvette Cheonan incident and a stop of U.S. and South Korea’s hostility toward North Korea. The U.N. Security Council expressed grave concern on Monday over the deadly sinking of a South Korean naval ship in March that has heightened tension on the Korean peninsula. The placards read, Stop hostile policies against the North (L) and Fulfil the June 15 declaration.

  

  REUTERS/Jo Yong-Hak

  I was completely astounded this evening when I came about an article that questioned the ‘scientific inquiry’ into the sinking of the Cheonan, the South Korean corvette allegedly sunk by the North Korean navy. The validity of the investigation was questioned by two American investigators from John Hopkins University and the University of Virginia. Researchers J.J. Suh and Seung-Hun Lee cast doubts over the investigation conducted by the South Korean Joint Investigation Group (JIG). According to Suh and Lee:

  ‘The only conclusion one can draw on the basis of the evidence is that there was no outside explosion,’ Suh said. ‘The JIG completely failed to produce evidence that backs up its claims that there was an outside explosion.’

  Beware of Jewish Slappers 

  25 July, 2010 — Gilad Atzmon – Writings – The Guardian

  Introduction by Gilad Atzmon: Jewish racism knows no boundaries. Though many people of many ethnic origins live between the river and the sea, the Jewish State is not exactly a multi- cultural society. The Israeli legal system is racist to the bone; it is a true mirror of Jewish supremacy and Talmudic tribalism. The Guardian continues to follow the astonishing story of Saber Kushour, a young Palestinian man who was convicted of rape after having consensual sex with a Jewish Israeli woman who had believed him to be a fellow Jew.

  Saber Kushour: ‘My conviction for ‘rape by deception’ has ruined my life’

  Saber Kushour, an Arab Israeli convicted of ‘rape by deception’ of a Jewish woman, gives his side of the story in an exclusive interview

  Saber Kushour convicted Israeli Arab Saber Kushour insists the partner of his casual sexual encounter was willing and never showed any interest in his background.

  Saber Kushour apologises as he asks his guests to move the plastic chairs on his breeze-block balcony a little closer to the door to his house. If he were to sit where they are now, he explains, the electronic tag attached to his ankle would set off an alarm.

  Kushour’s edginess is understandable – he is recalling a 15-minute encounter almost two years ago which he says ‘has destroyed my life’.

  Why the U.S. Need Not Fear a Sovereign Debt Crisis: Unlike Greece, It Is Actually Sovereign By Ellen Brown 

  24 July, 2010 — Global Research – Web of Debt – 2010-07-23

  Last week, a Chinese rating agency downgraded U.S. debt from triple A and number one globally, to “double A with a negative outlook” and only thirteenth worldwide. The downgrade renewed fears that the sovereign debt crisis that began in Greece will soon reach America. That is the concern, but the U.S. is distinguished from Greece in that its debt is denominated in its own currency, over which it has sovereign control. The government can simply print the money it needs, or borrow it from a central bank that prints it. We should not let deficit hawks and short sellers dissuade the government from pursuing that obvious expedient.

  We did not hear much about “sovereign debt” until early this year, when Greece hit the skids. Investment adviser Martin Weiss wrote in a February 24 newsletter:

  “On October 8, Greece’s benchmark 10-year bond was stable and rising. Then, suddenly and without warning, global investors dumped their Greek bonds with unprecedented fury, driving its market value into a death spiral.

  “Likewise, Portugal’s 10-year government bond reached a peak on December 1, 2009, less than three months ago. It has also started to plunge virtually nonstop.

  “The reason: A new contagion of fear about sovereign debt! Indeed, both governments are so deep in debt, investors worry that default is not only possible — it is now likely!”

    An amusing piece of American Empire propaganda! Everything is America’s business! The Greek people don’t have the right to exercies their sovereignty in common with other European peoples if they choose to! Also amusing is the underlying colonial racism. Naturally, it’s the master race that tells us poor European Untermenschen what we can and cannot do in our own countries! What a wonderful concept of “sovereignty” Ms Brown has!

  U.S.-backed War in Somalia Comes to Uganda, Threatens to Set Whole Region Aflame A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford 

  24 July, 2010 — Black Agenda Report

  The U.S. war against Somalia expands outwards and “has now blown back to Uganda,” the U.S. ally that, “along with the minority Tutsi dictatorship in Rwanda, is America’s most reliable mercenary force in Black Africa.” Ethiopia and Kenya prepare to join Uganda in an offensive against the Somali resistance, to save America’s puppet mini-state in Mogadishu.

  The bombing in Kampala must be understood in the context of the planned expansion of the war in Somalia.”

  The bombs that exploded in Kampala earlier this month, killing 76 people and unleashing a wave of arrests and deportations by the Ugandan regime, are chickens coming home to roost from the U.S.-sponsored war in Somalia. U.S. corporate media routinely fail to note that the Ugandan military and other U.S. African allies are all that prevent the farcical U.S.-backed mini-government in Somalia from being evicted from the few neighborhoods it still controls in Mogadishu, the Somali capital. The rest of south and central Somalia belongs to the Shabab and another Islamist group, that earned their nationalist credentials in fighting Ethiopian troops that invaded Somalia with full U.S. backing in late 2006. The invasion interrupted a brief period of relative peace in Somalia and plunged the country into what United Nations officials called the “worst humanitarian crisis in Africa – worse than Darfur.”

  Israel’s New Land Grab Master Plan
  by Stephen Lendman
  July 24, 2010 – …The Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (JCPA) is an Israeli policy research organization, its president Dore Gold, a notorious right-wing extremist, hostile to democratic principles and Palestinian rights. It’s recent report is titled “Demography, Geopolitics, and the Future of Israel’s Capital: Jerusalem’s Proposed Master Plan,” explaining that on October 7, 2008, the District Planning and Construction Commission for the Jerusalem region proposed one, approved by Mayor Nir Barkat, then revised “to create and preserve a stable Jewish majority in the unified capital,” assure the city always stays unified, and follows Ben-Gurion’s idea to “bring Jews to eastern Jerusalem at any cost. We must settle tens of thousands of Jews in a brief time. Jews will agree to settle in eastern Jerusalem even in shacks. We cannot await the construction of orderly neighborhoods. The essential thing is that Jews will be there.”

  5 U.S. troops killed, 2 missing in Afghanistan
  By Laura King
  July 24, 2010 — By any measure, Saturday was a very bad day in Afghanistan for U.S. forces: a convergence of two dreaded battlefield events. Two U.S. soldiers were missing and feared captured or killed by the Taliban, military and Afghan officials said. And five other U.S. service members were killed by improvised explosive devices, which now pose a greater threat to life and limb for Western troops than at any point in the nine-year war…
