Please make it so that when you click on the links it opens a new tab!
It is so annoying to have to hit the back button and then it skips to the wrong section of the page if you've opened any previous stories!

Otherwise, I enjoy your picks for the daily news. Doing that one little thing would make it perfect!

In fact, SLOG is even more fun if you pretend every comment (but mine) is posted by one of WIS's many personalities.

Posted by Will in Seattle]]> Fri, 30 Nov 2012 11:02:59 -0800 The Stranger American Vileness . . . .Israeli Vileness

Following the United Nations' vote on Palestinian autonomy, the representative of the USA (I'm very sorry to say), Susan Rice, uttered the most atrociously vile, crass and insulting speech against that vote and the Palestinians.

Hillary Clinton's remarks were only slightly less insulting, but that was to be expected from a Clinton. (Surprisingly, Chelsea Clinton has finally departed McKinsy --- perhaps there remains hope for at least one Clinton?)

The UN vote accords the Palestinians living on occupied lands a unique UN status --- too long in the coming --- similar to that of the Vatican, which was granted sovereignty in 1929 by fascist Benito Mussolini, primarily for the purpose of acting as a conduit for money laundering during the war (WWII).

(The position of the International Chamber of Commerce at the United Nations, in perpetuity, no doubt enjoys far, far greater power and perks.)

The vile remarks by Rice and Clinton, representing the Obama administration, do not represent the sentiments of millions of Americans, other than AIPAC, JINSA and neocon Christian extremists.

The depopulation policy of Palestine, taking many forms and exhibiting many variations, was first formulated in Israel back in the 1960s, when an intelligence study extrapolated a majority population of Palestinians by the year 2000.

It has since been fully documented that immediately after the events of 9/11/01, the Israeli government took historical video footage of a group of Palestinians celebrating, and broadcasted that video on Israeli and American television, propagandizing the event in the most despicable manner possible, to the Israelis' advantage.

Whether it was such vile propaganda as that, or the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty…

we must never forget --- or ignore --- the war crimes of any country or state-involved entity.

We should always beware of the propaganda of Zionists (and understand that not all Jews are Zionists, and not all Zionists are Jews) --- whether it's a recent Zionist-authored book claiming that the Vietnamese assassinated President John F. Kenney (*$&#&*@*(@), or the silly drivel from Zionist Jonathan Kay, a fellow at the next version of PNAC, or Project for a New American Century, the Foundation in Defense of Democracies --- as neocon as neocon can get (remarkably, Kay received an incredible amount of coverage multiple times for his little-read book on "conspiracy theory" on NPR, and APM, and PRI, and CBC, etc.).

When State Department spokesperson, Victoria Nuland, prattles on and on, please be advised that she is the wife of one of the founding members of that former outfit, the ultra-neocon PNAC, and it was Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, who reappointed that guy from George W. Bush's inner circle, Marc Grossman, to her staff, the very same Grossman who was fingered by Sibel Edmonds as a member of a nuclear secrets-selling gang.

These activities aren't really political, simply portrayed endlessly at the level of political theater.

When Nixon and Richard Helms' CIA expand a fortune to overthrow the Chilean government, which led to the assassination of their military commander-in-chief, and the eventual takeover by the incredibly murderous Gen. Pinochet (Project Fu/Belt), they were working at the instigation and behest of the multinational corporations, led by ITT.

When in 1969 a SEAL team (Sea Air Land special warfare commandos) designated Delta Platoon SEAL Team One, went into a Mekong village to capture a Viet Cong leader who was supposed to be there, they killed civilians --- to preserve their stealth --- on the way in and on their way out, killing 21 civilians --- the elderly, women and children, without finding any VC leaders (their officer leader would be awarded a medal for this op!).

President Kennedy originally created the SEALs as a military aid to pro-democracy movements and anti-dictator insurgency movements around the world, not as an assassination squad against innocent civilians.

The selective political assassinations in the 1960s --- President Kennedy in 1963, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Bobby Kennedy in 1968, and others --- were initiated by the plutocrats to profit the plutocrats; to halt and counter legislation which would have interfered with their growing profits, to allow for war expansion and war profiteering.

Unless we fully understand the sheer greed and profit motive behind all the tediously endless political theater, we will never comprehend who the real enemy --- the primary enemy --- is.

Fire a CEO lackey --- but the same owners (really masters) remain.

Capitalism is violence.

(from the above link)
According to the Church Committee report, in their meeting with CIA Director Richard Helms and Attorney General John Mitchell on 15 September 1970 President Nixon and his National Security Advisor, Henry Kissinger, directed the CIA to prevent Allende from taking power. They were “not concerned [about the] risks involved,” according to Helms’ notes. In addition to political action, Nixon and Kissinger, according to Helms’s notes, ordered steps to “make the economy scream.”

In 1975, the Senate Subcommittee on Multinationals, under the chairmanship of Frank Church of Idaho, began hearings on the political connections of major American corporations:

My relatives, including my dad, paid income taxes back when most people didn't pay income taxes, because they weren't rich.

Now, he's a vet living in Vermont, where the median income is $15,000 and he gets by fine living modestly.

We pay for you tax-subsidized hedge fund managers. We made our money when capital gains was 40 pct and income tax was 90 pct. You're the whiners, trying to fight wars without taxing for them.
