Anyone But Hilary! Obama's Program Of War 'Within days of taking power, the Obama administration has made clear that it will escalate the war to subjugate the Afghan people, intensify US military strikes on targets inside Pakistan and continue the occupation of Iraq indefinitely. What is being prepared is a brutal escalation of US military violence in Afghanistan and a widening of the conflagration in the region. European Commission on 'Information': Buy, Brainwash or Smear 'Things got a little bit hot here in Brussels last night, when the independent think-tank Open Europe held a meeting for a discussion on its research into the amount of money -- 2.2bn in 2008 alone -- that the European Commission spends on pro-EU propaganda. As usual, Open Europe was keen for someone from the Commission to attend. But definitely not as usual, someone from the Commission actually did turn up: Joe Hennon, spokesman for Margot Wallstrom, the Swede who is commissioner in charge of spending all this propaganda money. Though of course Mrs Wallstrom doesn't call it propaganda. She calls it 'communications strategy.' Whatever she calls it, you are paying for it.' The Coming War Against Home Schoolers 'I knew this was coming. The inflamed, all-seeing red eye of political correctness, glaring this way and that from its dark tower, has finally discovered that home schooling is a threat to the Marxoid project, and has launched its first open attack on it. Before long, those who wish to declare independence from the state system (and cannot afford monstrous private school fees) will face endless interference, monitoring and regulation.' Your Home is no Longer Your Castle 'There will come a day when everyone understands that the Justice Minister Jack Straw ranks as one of the bigger menaces to our free society. Whatever issue you care to consider - the macro or the micro - Jack Straw is chipping away at freedom, accountability and openness. He really should be hauled before a commission of good democrats, exposed and made to account for his sins with community service order and a Day-Glo jacket. Today we will look at a micro issue - the disgraceful behaviour of his department over the Courts and Tribunal Enforcement Act, the law which ends 400 years of the tradition that an Englishman's home is his castle and allows bailiffs to march into that home and seize what goods they like in settlement of a fine (think ID card fines; think of the pressure people are going to experience in this recession).' Tracking The Bailout Billions Why is Marijuana Illegal? 'Many people assume that marijuana was made illegal through some kind of process involving scientific, medical, and government hearings; that it was to protect the citizens from what was determined to be a dangerous drug. The actual story shows a much different picture. Those who voted on the legal fate of this plant never had the facts, but were dependent on information supplied by those who had a specific agenda to deceive lawmakers. You'll see below that the very first federal vote to prohibit marijuana was based entirely on a documented lie on the floor of the Senate.' Obama's New Bank Giveaway 'How many families would like a "give-back" on every bad investment they've ever made? It's like a parent coming to a child who has just broken a toy, saying "That's all right. We'll just go out and buy you a new one." This from the apostles of "responsibility" for poverty, for mortgage debtors owing more than they can afford to pay, for people who get sick and can't afford medical care, and for states and cities now left high and dry by the fiscal wipe-out that the Bush-Obama "cleanup" has foisted onto the economy. No do-over for anyone but the hundred or so billionaires who have just been endowed with enough free money to become America's ruling elite for the rest of the 21st century.' Is Europe in "Pre revolutionary" Mode? ' "Off with their heads" and "man the barricades" the cries of the famed "sans culottes" rang out and sent shivers down the spines of the doomed Bourbon dynasty way back then. These poor yet determined revolutionary men fighting for a semblance of social justice and disparagingly referred to as "without knee breaches" by the ruling royals and aristocracy seem to reverberate in today's urban European settings. 220 years after the French revolution, scenes somewhat reminiscent of the almost long forgotten revolts, are again visible on the streets of Paris. They appear to be pre revolutionary in their scope and political impact. The fall out from all this maybe like a horror film come true for those at the top.'Friday, 30 January 2009
