      Terrorism 2.0

      Posted by okami from Spacewar

      Terrorism and wars of the future won't be fought outdoors but from the comfort of our own homes, behind our computer screens. With cyberattacks on the rise and gaining in destructive capability, the threat to the international community is beyond current regulations and defense mechanisms, a panel of experts said last week.

    • Rigged Trials at Guantanamo

      Posted by okami from Truth Out

      The litany of complaints about the legal treatment of prisoners at Guantánamo Bay is long, disturbing and by now familiar. Nonetheless, a new wave of shock and criticism greeted the Pentagon's announcement on February 11 that it was charging six Guantánamo detainees, including alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, with war crimes - and seeking the death penalty for all of them.

    United States Sanctioned Massacre of Korean Civilians

    If Korean civilians are murdered in a forest and no one hears them fall, is it really a massacre?

    Air America Radio Host Randi Rhodes Suspended for Calling Clinton and Ferraro "Whores"

    Meanwhile, Hillary’s camp praises Fox for the most ‘balanced’ news coverage, and for a ton of supposedly-democratic Hillaryites, no alarm bells are sounded. This whole cycle has gone right out of hand with the absurd disconnections from reality and unnecessarily puffed up emotions.

    I will say I was disgusted to see Ferraro on Fox News again today. No intelligent politician – nor any democrat should spend a second on that set.

    Campus shooters used same gun dealer - UPI.com

    While I am not a supposed “liberal”, (whatever that is implied to mean these days, seems more like invective in today’s modern parlance) questioning the bravery or willingness to fight and kill perfect strangers over an theological or political ideology is not necessary to this discussion nor warranted. The U.S. has a traditionally violent gun culture with many advocates suggesting that to not want a gun in the hands of anyone, (well actually, that varies depending on who you may speak to. Many pro-gun folks I’ve personally encountered are also affiliated with historically aggressive White power organisations) is akin to cowardice. And to imply that the bravery you speak of is responsible for the United States, you’ve just proved by point. Very few but the most indoctrinated Aboriginal Americans and American Africans would call the groundwork applied to build the U.S. anything other than what it was and is, genocide. To deny this reality would be like denying Andrew Jackson ever held office. Cuba, Puerto Rico, Iraq, Iran, Columbia, Nicaragua, Kosovo, and the Filipinos who still struggle to expose American atrocities during the Philippine-American War of domination. The national myth may support your views, but factual colonialist American history documents a very different paradigm.

    The end of an era. Expect Cuba to be assaulted by the U.S. until they bend to its will.
