Adib S. Kawar – Democratizing Colonialism!!! (part of the First Word War)
Good analysis of colonial propaganda versus historical facts re Palestine. (I usually use the original website for any article, but in this case I found the article on this website to be much easier to read.)
A surge at $57,077.60 a minute
Oh, for god’s sake quit whining about how all this money could be going to infrastructure, education, health, and welfare! Just think about how good this surge will be for the economy of those who invest in Northrop Grumman, General Atomics (Predator and Reaper drones), Raytheon, Halliburton, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin (Hellfire missiles), Blackwater (mercenary army), etc. Just put your money in these fine companies and you will be fine. If everyone did that, there wouldn’t be any problems. ;-)

Chilcot Inquiry – The establishment goes to work (Introduction)
This is about the Iraq Inquiry in Britain headed by Sir John Chilcot to examine the facts of Britain’s collusion with the US in promoting the war. This insightful critique is presented by a British website dedicated to countering the propaganda of corporate media. Their current articles (they call them “alerts”) do not carry permalinks, so if you access this link at a later date, you may need to find it in the archives by the date of the article. This one is 12-16 & 17, 2009. I recommend reading this rather lengthy report down to at least John Pilger’s comment.

‘Generation Limits’: An Open Letter to Teenagers
"As a peak-oil/climate-aware high school Chemistry teacher, every day is a balance between (1) imparting the daily Chemistry lesson in an effective and entertaining manner, (2) telling the kids the hard, scary truth about our civilization’s predicament without crushing their hopes and dreams for a livable future, and (3) offering some ideas about what we could do to help the situation."

US silent on Taliban's al-Qaeda offer
This incident—the offer by the Taliban and US’ rejection—puts the lie to the public reasons for US’ invasion and occupation of Afghanistan. It’s all about domination of Eurasia and control of oil/gas pipelines. That is obviously why the US has remained silent since the rejection.
