CIA 911 “accountability” report released: A whitewash that raises more questions

24-08-2007 20:26

Preaching accountability to the CIA is like preaching fairness to Wall Street or honesty to the White House. It’s not merely futile, it’s counterproductive. The effort itself reinforces illusions in institutions that by their very nature are committed to double-dealing, fraud and lies.

Hillary’s “New War”

24-08-2007 19:28

Come November, 2008, Democrats will, not unlike pre-programmed Stepford wives, line up behind Hillary Clinton. Democrats have no other choice, as most of them are disgusted with two terms of Bush, that is to say the neocons. Of course, Hillary is not much different, maybe in minor style but hardly in substance, and a vote for Hillary—call it the Clinton dynasty, following on the heels of the Bush dynasty—will be a vote for more mass murder and incalculable misery.

October mobilisation against IMF/World Bank

24-08-2007 09:48

The 50 Years Is Enough Network and our allies are calling for a National Mobilization in Washington DC against the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank during their annual meetings, from October 19-21
(activists' air miles to travel to mobilisations abroad are justified in this regard as being for the wider good, but you can always take measures to be more carbon neutral such as funding ecologically suitable tree planting somewhere - however, this would all ensure that the cost of flying across the Atlantic would be prohibitive to many of us!) Therefore, maybe "we" should do actions over in the UK?
