US Tax Payers To Bail Out Foreign Banks
Paulson: Foreign Banks can use U.S. Rescue Plan
By Mark Felsenthal
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said Sunday that foreign banks will
be able to unload bad financial assets under a $700 billion U.S. proposal
aimed at restoring order during a devastating financial crisis.

Wall Street put a gun to the head of the politicians and said, Give us the
money--right now--or take the blame for whatever follows. The audacity
of Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's bailout proposal is reflected in
what it refuses to say: no explanations of how the bailout will work, no
demands on the bankers in exchange for the public's money. The
Treasury's opaque, three-page summary of plan includes this
chilling statement:

order to give the clueless sheople the appearance that they are going
to protect taxpayers from the slimy bankers, when the reality is, it is
already a done deal and has been planned long in advance, probably
for many months, if not years, just like the Patriot Acts.

Bolivia Versus the Empire
Morales Sí, Secession No
By Patrick Irelan
Evo Morales is a patient man. After he was elected president of Bolivia in 2005,
he set about in a peaceful and democratic way to liberate his country's oppressed
majority. That majority includes indigenous South American Indians, who make
up over 55 percent of the population, plus a large proportion of the country's
mestizos, who constitute a total of 30 percent of the population. Morales himself
is an Aymara Indian, the first indigenous president in the history of Bolivia.
The remaining 15 percent of the population is as white as the faces you recently
saw at the Republican National Convention.

Was America Attacked by Muslims on 9/11?
By David Ray Griffin
Much of America's foreign policy since 9/11 has been based on the
assumption that it was attacked by Muslims on that day. - Is it conceivable
that this assumption might be false? Insofar as Americans and Canadians
would say "No," they would express their belief that this assumption is not
merely an "assumption" but is instead based on strong evidence. When
actually examined, however, the proffered evidence turns out to be
remarkably weak. I will illustrate this point by means of 16 questions.

Looking at America's Police State
By Timothy V. Gatto
Our leaders have no conscience, and hatch their schemes and plan for
conquest, while millions of us wait for a chance to change this nation's
direction. Sadly, for all of us that are truly paying attention,
we see that real change is only a mirage.





Turning Away From American State Terrorism
By: Peter Chamberlin
In Pakistan we find the complete history of the American "war on terrorism,
" from its Cold War origins nearly thirty years ago to its present incarnation
in the illegal American aggression in Pakistan's Frontier region
(FATA, Federally Administered Tribal Areas) and in American attempts
to reignite the Cold War with Russia.

The Ghost of the D.C. Madam






Australia WWII wreck probe begins.
''FOR THOSE UNAWARE HMAS SYDNEY WAS SUNK ON NOVEMBER 19TH
1941. ALL HANDS WERE LOST. LIFE RAFTS WERE FOUND RIDDLED BY
CLOSE RANGE MACHINE GUN FIRE. ALLEGEDLY THE GERMAN RAIDER
KORMORAN SUNK HER WITH GUNFIRE. THAT WOULD BE A MIRACLE
SINCE KORMORAN WAS A CONVERTED FREIGHTER WITHOUT ARMOUR
PLATE. SYDNEY WAS A TOP OF THE LINE BRITISH CRUISER WITH A
COMBAT SEASONED CREW. THE SURVIVORS OF KORMORAN WERE
ORDERED ON PAIN OF DEATH TO REMAIN SILENT. JAPANESE RATION
CANS WERE FOUND IN ONE OF THEIR LIFEBOATS. THE MYSTERY IS
SYDNEY HAPPENED UPON A RENDEZVOUS WITH A JAPANESE SUB.
THE SUB TORPEDOED SYDNEY WEAKENING HER. KORMORAN AND
THE SUB FINISHED HER OFF KILLING ALL SURVIVORS. BRITAIN AND
AUSTRALIA EXTENDED THE 50 YEAR TIME LIMIT ON THE OFFICIAL
SECRETS ACT TO FOREVER FOR THIS MINOR NAVAL ENGAGEMENT.
WHY? IF JAPAN COMMENCED HOSTILITIES AGAINST BRITAIN AND
HER ALLIES ON NOV. 19TH, THE PEARL HARBOUR ATTACK WOULD
HAVE BEEN RENDERED SUPERFLUOUS''.-George Freund
