Monday Presidents’ Day: from 1885 to 2014 By Jerry Mazza Presidents’ Day is an American holiday celebrated on the third Monday in February. Originally established in 1879 in recognition of President George Washington, it is still officially called “Washington’s Birthday” by the federal government. The missing 28 pages about Saudi Arabia and 9/11 By Wayne Madsen (WMR)—The Obama administration, like its predecessor, is doing everything possible to maintain the secrecy of the 28 pages of the 800-page congressional report on the intelligence failures surrounding the 9/11 attack. The report, titled, “Joint Inquiry Into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001,” detailed the results of a congressional investigation of the events surrounding 9/11. But entirely redacted from the report are 28 pages dealing with specific sources of foreign support for the alleged 9/11 hijackers, fifteen of whom were Saudi nationals. The five criminals In America, the Gestapo has replaced the rule of law By Paul Craig Roberts RT is the best English language news source available to Americans. On January 29, RT published a photo of five presidential appointees lying through their teeth to Congress. No honor in killing ‘God’s Dog’ By Walter Brasch A week before the opening of the Olympics, 759 Pennsylvanians paid $25 each to participate in a sport that would never be a part of any international competition. Lang Lang and Obama: Two different kinds of performances By Missy Comley Beattie It’s Wednesday. For some reason, I think of Wednesday’s child, full of woe. And I’ve just glanced up and out to see large snowflakes dancing between the two towers of my complex, swirling indecision, whether to rest or continue performing. Tuesday The Snowden effect: From governmentalized to privatized and commoditized How safe is our information with billionaire corporatists & dollar-hungry opportunistic individuals? By Sibel Edmonds Please raise your hand if you are one of many concerned citizens when it comes to our government collecting and keeping your data without a warrant or any justification. Do you see my hand? I know I am a shorty, but it is up there; my hand. I assure you. In fact it has been there for a long time. Russia under attack By Paul Craig Roberts In a number of my articles I have explained that the Soviet Union served as a constraint on US power. The Soviet collapse unleashed the neoconservative drive for US world hegemony. Russia under Putin, China, and Iran are the only constraints on the neoconservative agenda. Usurious returns on phantom money: The credit card gravy train By Ellen Brown, J.D. The credit card business is now the banking industry’s biggest cash cow, and it’s largely due to lucrative hidden fees. Master race chosen people-ism: An infantile disorder By Frank Scott The problem of racism is primarily the treatment of darker skinned people by the lighter skinned; that treatment is always murderously damaging to humanity itself and not only the particular people being savaged by those who thought themselves, somehow, more human than others. But reaction to mistreatment on racial grounds, especially without consideration of the economic roots of such inhumanity, may be as dangerous to the survival of the race. Building a society based on social and environmental values By Kéllia Ramares-Watson “Life Without Money” is a compilation of essays on theories and practices of non-monetary economics, which some people, including Anitra Nelson, call non-market socialism. It is a book intended primarily for academics who might want to consider teaching from this book, and those whom Nelson calls “thinking activists,” i.e., people who are primarily activists, but who are also interested in economic theory. Each chapter has many end notes and several gray boxes that mark out special points a teacher might wish to bring out during a lecture. Wednesday Do you remember Bosnia? By Luciana Bohne If you remember Bosnia from the 1990s, you may remember the much-publicized ethnic violence, massacres and rapes, and something savagely atavistic, dismembering a unified country once called Yugoslavia. It is now back on a pre-WW I map, the disunified “Balkans,” a mosaic of statelets reconstituted along ethno-nationalist lines: Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia—and the British-UN protectorate of Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) and Republika Srpska (Serb Republic), a collage of Croat, Serb, and Muslim populations, each inhabiting its own ethnic space. US and EU are paying Ukrainian rioters and protesters By Paul Craig Roberts A number of confirmations have come in from readers that Washington is fueling the violent protests in Ukraine with our taxpayer dollars. Washington has no money for food stamps or to prevent home foreclosures, but it has plenty of money with which to subvert Ukraine. Egypt’s Russian pivot restores equilibrium By Linda S. Heard Cairo’s decision to cement close economic, diplomatic and military ties with Moscow was not one that the interim government took lightly. Egypt was pushed to forge new alliances by its longtime ally—the US, which chose to side with the Muslim Brotherhood, following president Mohammad Mursi’s ousting on July 3, 2013, rather than accept the majority’s will. How Pharma got doctors to prescribe Risperdal, Wellbutrin, Bextra, Neurontin, Prempro & more By Martha Rosenberg Until 2010 when the Physician Payments Sunshine Act, which requires disclosure of Pharma payments, passed, the only thing better than working for Pharma was being a doctor wined and dined by Pharma. Paranoia, surveillance and military tactics: Have we become enemies of the government? By John W. Whitehead Relationships are fragile things, none more so than the relationship between a citizen and his government. Unfortunately for the American people, the contract entered into more than 200 years ago has been reduced to little more than a marriage of convenience and fiscal duty, marked by distrust, lying, infidelity, hostility, disillusion, paranoia and domestic abuse on the part of the government officials entrusted with ensuring the citizenry’s safety and happiness. Thursday Why opt for a no-cost solution to a problem when there is money to be made? By Bev Conover In cities and towns across the US, red light cameras are being installed for the ostensible purpose of preventing T-bone collisions at intersections, not to mention raking in big bucks from motorists running red traffic lights. Diplomacy Canadian style By Eric Walberg A new identity and a precious Canadian passport for a fugitive Mossad agent. A honeypot security officer working for Canadian immigration romancing an Iranian-Canadian businessman, and letting the cat out of the bag. Who needs John le Carre? Netanyahu warns world (again) about Iran ‘aggression’ By Jerry Mazza Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu opened his weekly Cabinet meeting Sunday with more words of warning to the West about Iran. As American as apple pie By Dave Alpert Michael Dunn, the white man who murdered Jordan Davis, a 17-year-old African-American, while arguing over the loudness of the music being played, was found guilty on four of the five counts with which he was charged. Global capitalism has written off the human race By Paul Craig Roberts Economic theory teaches that free price and profit movements ensure that capitalism produces the greatest welfare for the greatest number. Losses indicate economic activities where costs exceed the value of production, thus investment in these activities is curtailed. Profits indicate economic activities where the value of output exceeds its cost, thus investment increases. Prices indicate the relative scarcity and value of inputs and outputs, thus serving to organize production most efficiently. Friday Obama’s nuke-powered drone strike on America’s energy future By Harvey Wasserman So the “all the above” energy strategy now deems we dump another $6.5 billion in bogus loan guarantees down the atomic drain. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz has announced finalization of hotly contested taxpayer handouts for the two Vogtle reactors being built in Georgia. Another $1.8 billion waits to be pulled out of your pocket and poured down the radioactive sinkhole. Amerikan Stasi police state staring us in the face American sheeple stick heads in the sand; pretend to be ostriches By Paul Craig Roberts American taxpayers have built an entire city in Virginia so that the Pentagon can practice occupying American cities and putting down protests by US citizens. CIA‘s use of Nazi strategy on Ukrainian right-wing nationalists unabated since Cold War By Wayne Madsen The Central Intelligence Agency appears to be caught in a time warp. At the roots of the CIA’s and George Soros’s “resistance” movement in Ukraine lie Ukrainian fascists and pro-Nazis, the ideological forbears of the current Ukrainian right-wing fascist party Svoboda and other radical right and anti-Russian groups largely based in western Ukraine. The Libyan bedlam: General Hifter, the CIA and the unfinished coup By Ramzy Baroud On Friday, Feb. 14, 92 prisoners escaped from their prison in the Libyan town of Zliten. Nineteen of them were eventually recaptured, two of whom were wounded in clashes with the guards. It was just another daily episode highlighting the utter chaos which has engulfed Libya since the overthrow of Muammar Ghaddafi in 2011. Freedom Rider: White men and guns By Margaret Kimberley Michael Dunn may be an easily identifiable outlier, but America clearly has a serious gun fixation and it results in the deaths of 11,000 people every year. Michael Dunn is the Jacksonville, Florida, man who shot Jordan Davis to death in the so-called “loud music” case. It should have been called the “white person shoots black person just because” case.

100 tonnes of highly radioactive water leak from Fukushima nuclear plant 20 Feb 2014 Around 100 tonnes of highly radioactive water have leaked from a storage tank at Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant, operator Tokyo Electric (Tepco) says. The toxic radioactive water may have overflowed after a valve was left open by mistake, Tepco said. The latest leak is the most serious since August, when the plant leaked 300 tonnes of water, prompting Japan's nuclear agency to raise the incident's alert level. The water from Wednesday's leak was radioactive, with a reading of 230 million becquerels per litre of radioactive isotopes, Tepco spokesman Masayuki Ono told reporters.

N.M. Nuclear Waste Site Stays Closed After Radiation Leak Plugged 21 Feb 2014 A radiation leak at a nuclear waste storage site below the New Mexico desert has been plugged, but the facility will remain closed for at least the next three weeks, officials said late Thursday. The facility near Carlsbad was cleared last Friday when an underground air-monitoring alarm went off, indicating unsafe concentrations of radiation inside the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). "Any type of release outside of the facility or inside the facility is unacceptable and is disconcerting," said Ryan Flynn, an official at the New Mexico Environment Department. "From the state's perspective, one event is far too many."

CIA Agent Captured in Ukraine Helping Protesters 20 Feb 2014 A CIA agent has allegedly been captured in the Ukraine, as shown in the video. The Special Activities Division (SAD) is a division in the United States Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) National Clandestine Service (NCS), responsible for covert operations known as "special activities". Within SAD there are two separate groups, SAD/SOG for tactical paramilitary operations and SAD/PAG for covert political action. Special Operations Group (SOG) is the department within SAD responsible for operations that include the collection of intelligence in hostile countries and regions, and all high threat military or intelligence operations with which the U.S. government does not wish to be overtly associated. As such, members of the unit (called Paramilitary Operations Officers and Specialized Skills Officers) normally do not carry any objects or clothing (i.e., military uniforms) that would associate them with the US government.

Ukraine peace deal halts violence but 'crowds' still angry 21 Feb 2014 A breakthrough peace deal for Ukraine halted two days of violence that had turned the center of the capital into a war zone and killed 77 people, bringing sweeping political change that met many demands of the pro-European opposition. Russian-backed President Viktor Yanukovich agreed to give up powers, hold early elections and form a government of national unity. Parliament voted for changes to the legal code that could see the release of Yanukovich's jailed rival, opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko. By nightfall, opposition leaders who signed the deal were addressing peaceful crowds from a stage in Independence Square, which for the previous 48 hours had been an inferno of blazing barricades and [CIA-backed] protesters were shot dead by police snipers.

Russia's Lavrov slams EU and US for double standards on Ukraine 20 Feb 2014 While the EU continues to discuss possible sanctions against Ukraine and measures that could be used to put pressure on Ukrainian officials, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov delivered a speech for the European Union and the United States, presenting a whole bouquet of accusations to the West. "Our Western partners - in Europe and the U.S. - blame the authorities of the country for everything. They do not qualify the actions of extremists the way they should be qualified. This concerns Russia a lot," Lavrov said at a news conference in Baghdad. "What we have here is double standards, and instead they threaten with sanctions, and not only threaten - the Americans have already imposed them, having thereby created an additional incentive for the opposition to stand firm," Russian Foreign Minister said.

Ukraine: sick fascist filth and gangland violence as political opposition --'The Western media is playing along as a propaganda tool for those behind the scenes.' 20 Feb 2014 With the release of a recent conversation between the US Ambassador to Ukraine and Victoria Nuland plotting the downfall of the current legitimate elected government in Kiev, it is clear who is behind the attempted coup in Ukraine. US backed "activists" with sniper rifles and handguns are openly firing on police -- something that would not be tolerated anywhere in the world, but which is being portrayed by western leaders as being legitimate opposition protest behavior.

Tweet by Nikola Mirkovic on Ukraine situation 'says it all' 20 Feb 2014 Nikola Mirkovic @1NikolaMirkovic - The 5 step Western plan 1. Provoke havoc 2. Send CNN 3. Destroy country 4. Change regime 5. Sell country to the banks #Ukraine

U.S. seeks new bases for drones targeting militants in Pakistan 16 Feb 2014 The Obama administration is making contingency plans to use air bases in Central Asia to conduct drone missile attacks in northwest Pakistan in case the White House is forced to withdraw all U.S. forces from Afghanistan at the end of this year, according to U.S. officials. American officials refused to say whether they are seeking permission to base CIA drones in Tajikistan, which allows the U.S. to ship military equipment and supplies through its territory. Officials say a new jet-powered drone, called the Predator C, or Avenger, could figure in plans to use bases outside Afghanistan.

Lawsuit brings to light secrecy statements required by KBR 19 Feb 2014 One of the nation's largest government contractors requires employees seeking to report fraud to sign internal confidentiality statements barring them from speaking to anyone about their allegations, including government investigators and prosecutors, according to a complaint filed Wednesday and corporate documents obtained by The Washington Post. Attorneys for a whistleblower suing Halliburton Co. and its former subsidiary, Kellogg Brown & Root, said the statements violate the federal False Claims Act and other laws designed to shield whistleblowers... Tim McCormack, a lawyer who specializes in whistleblower cases, said that he has seen numerous confidentiality agreements but that the one used by KBR is particularly stark because it threatens employees with termination and possible legal action if they speak out.

IED Shockwaves Inject Hidden Damage in Troops, Study Claims 13 Feb 2014 Tens of thousands of American combat veterans, many seemingly uninjured, carry higher risks of developing neurological disorders -- and perhaps future organ ailments -- simply because they were "exposed" to IED shockwaves, the Institute of Medicine reported Thursday. As the signature weapon in Iraq and Afghanistan, the improvised explosive device sends blast waves through the bodies of people even hundreds of yards from the detonation, leaving some nearby outwardly unharmed but disrupting their molecules and inner tissues. Years later, such changes could lead to adverse symptoms, according to a new IOM study.

Feds green-light 2 more solar projects in Ivanpah Valley; over 2,000 desert tortoises in jeopardy 19 Feb 2014 The U.S. Interior Department announced Wednesday it was approving two large solar projects in the Mojave Desert that may displace or harm more than 2,000 desert tortoises. In a formal Record of Decision issued February 19, Interior approved two projects on more than six square miles of public land in California and Nevada for the Stateline and Silver State South solar projects, which the Arizona-based firm First Solar wants to build near the Mojave National Preserve south of Las Vegas. According to an assessment of the projects released by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 2013, the two projects are expected to displace, injure, or kill up to 2,115 federally Threatened desert tortoises. Most of the mortalities will happen to young tortoises and will likely be killed without even being detected, the agency noted.

Emails link Scott Walker to secret email system 19 Feb 2014 Thousands of documents unsealed Wednesday link Gov. Scott Walker to a secret email system used in his office that would avoid public scrutiny when he was Milwaukee County executive. The records also show that on the day before he was elected governor in 2010, the secret investigation into links between Walker's county government staff and his political campaign was widened to include four more aides. That same day, search warrants were executed on Walker's campaign and county offices, as well as the homes of some of his assistants.

Arizona 'anti-gay' bill sparks protests in two cities 21 Feb 2014 Protests have been held in Arizona against the state's passage of a bill allowing business owners to refuse service to gays on religious grounds. Hundreds rallied for demonstrations in the cities of Phoenix and Tucson, a day after the bill was approved. Republican Governor Jan Brewer has not yet said if she will sign the bill into law. Similar legislation has been introduced in seven other US states, but Arizona is the only one to pass it.
